I’ve heard that before too but being an old bastard, I’m pretty certain Clinton didn’t do it until after he was debating Bob Dole. Bob Dole used this gesture because he held a pen during debates. And he held a pen in his non-dominant hand because he had an injury in WWII and the way his hand curled made him look weak.

Had to stop though since I found myself going through the fridge on a Sunday once looking for some alcohol.

I had a similar experience except I’d open the fridge before work and instinctively grab a beer or start to grab one before I realized I was just there for creamer.

The back tattoo was Roger Stone. Although we’ve not heard much about him for a while, I promise he’s got his sticky little mitts in the administration currently. In some fashion.

Fuck her and then say you’re trans. Only way to win.

Colbert Report version of Stephen Colbert would not be okay with this.

They have no training at all for anything but they’ve got so much tacticool shit. It counts for nothing but they’ve got that.

I am old enough to remember when people got paid enough to do those things in their middle aged years…

My guess is that Stephen Miller knows that Vance can’t hold three pieces of paper together and will try to ramp up martial law to retain power. Which they don’t have the manpower to do without the actual military who likely would not follow such orders. The national guard would likely start doing malicious compliance at best and ICE flat out doesn’t have enough people to control blocks of a city let alone the country. I can’t even imagine where things would go from there.

It’s so blatantly insane.

Not to give my fellow countrymen a pass, there’s an absolute ton of shitheels here. But do remember that on news sites there are a lot of bot comments. Don’t feel overwhelmed by voice, it’s not necessarily true.

We are an ICE agent getting a blister from his shitty aftermarket grip while pointing his weapon at protestors away from embracing totalitarianism.

I want to add, you will likely find your own solutions to these problems to make things more bearable. But you’ll likely be on your own in the process. The office is made for and made up predominately of an idea of business perfection and mostly contains neurotypical people. They will not understand your issues if you ask for ways to navigate your needs and the environment. But, you will likely find the things you need to manage. It might be a little scary and overwhelming at first. But it’s definitely not impossible. Give it some time before giving up and you might even find new ways to thrive.

You will quickly find that neurotypical people also find their own ways to cope in this environment. They’ll just seem more normal to everyone when they do it.

This is just my experience. Every workplace is a bit different, but I think my answers will be generally applicable.

• Are people going to be annoyed at me if I fidget, move around, and pace a lot? Yes
• Are people going to be like, constantly looking at my screen? Am I going to feel judged the whole time Yes
• I have the classic ADHD “do double the work in half the time, do nothing the other half”. Am I going to be judged on my work output, or how busy I make myself look?
  Busy work is going to be the most important aspect of your time. Looking busy without being busy is an important art
• If I have downtime, would it be acceptable to read a book or something?
  No
• If I have a chat with my coworker sitting next to me, is the whole office going to hear it? Am I going to be interrupting and bothering everyone? Everyone will hear and short conversations are often considered fine
• Did you disclose ADHD to your boss? Did you get any accommodations for it? Not ADHD but anxiety and depression. They don’t really care. Make sure you do the paperwork for FMLA to cover your ass if behaviors become disruptive in your environment

America following in your footsteps I guess.

Yeah, I’m sure they just didn’t realize. Surely there are no natural correlations to him being styled as a sith. Just purely accidental “having fun with the Internet holiday” kind of stuff.

It might be able to do it but it’s absolutely the wrong tool for the job. That’s Adobe Illustrator territory for sure and maybe inkscape can do it (not familiar enough with it to be able to say) but vector art creation tools are what you really want for this kind of thing.

Henleys and tees were traditionally undershirts as well. Fashion evolves. I would never wear a tank top outside of the house myself, but it’s still a shirt. Maybe a little trashy to wear in college but also, it’s where a lot of people test social norms to find their style. I’d say it’s fine.

Voo doo…economics

It’s not a hard science. It’s still a real science. Unless you’re a scientologist then your opinion doesn’t matter anyway.
