How can Star Wars be almost 50 years old?!? For that to be true I would have to beβ¦.
Oh shit.
My grandmother used to serve a big segmented βcandy dishβ full of like 8 different kinds of pickles and olives, and it was one of the best parts.

(Previous version of this went a little hard, I thought.)
Modern grocery stores all have bleak recession-sounding names like "Our Food is Cheap as Heck" and "Bottom Dollar" and "Practically Free."
Why canβt we go back to naming them after cheerful things, like pigs that wiggle.

Me: You know what? I totally understand what youβre doing there.
βDo you have trouble reading facial expressions?β
I donβt know??? Is that a magic element Iβm missing? Maybe?
βDo find yourself wishing people would just say what they mean instead of expecting you to guess?β
OMG YES. This. So. Much.
In general I find so many of the formal assessments focus on the ways ND people DONβT think rather than the ways they do.
Like testing for colourblindness by asking which colours a person misses most. They donβt know. Hence the test.
Focusing on experiences people DO uniquely have works better.

Remember when every house suddenly had a bowl of potpourri in every room for like five years and then just as suddenly nobody had any potpourri anymore

Im going to start buying cheap phone headphones at the dollar store and handing them out to people.
Marketing People: Here are some things you can buy a month from now!
Me: What about things I can do today?
Marketing People: No.
Forever perplexed how the term "cat burglar" somehow means neither someone who steals cats nor a cat who steals but some other third thing.
I quite like that song, too.
How was this #11?!? Iβm pretty sure this band doesnβt even exist!
Amazing how when someone posts a Top 40 list of songs when you were in high school, half of them are songs that have played in your head for years, and half are titles you swear someone invented just to mess with you.
Help yourself. Goes well with a nice chianti.
Will never stop thinking about the musician in Penzance England who replaced the disc in CD cases of The Pirates of Penzance in tourist shops with their own demo CD to trick tourists into buying it.
A legend.
