It is amazing how toxic people on that site are. Especially when you consider it's not anonymous and the people are literally in your neighborhood

Imagine not showing up to your job for 6 months and people just going, "hmmm, I wonder where they are."

That would be amazing. Sadly I've looked into immigration for Australia and New Zealand and they both have restrictions based on autism. They aren't guaranteed disqualifier, but it is a risk, that if I found a job that was willing to sponsor me, I might not be able to go.

Taskmaster - a British show where comedians and other celebrities compete to complete random tasks. One of the funniest shows I've ever seen. The entire series is on YouTube

Another but if Comic Sans trivia, it was originally designed for Microsoft Bob OS. However it was not finished in time to be included.

For those not aware, this is what Bob looked like.

I make over $150,000 a year and I live pay check to pay check because my son has autism level 2, speech delays, and other motor skills deficits. He has some sort of therapy every weekday. He's 13, so we've been doing this for 11 years now. And every year it is a fight to get things paid for.

This year my company switched insurance providers and the speech therapist that he has gone to for 6 years was suddenly out of network. So, I either pull him out and start over somewhere new or do what I did and pay $200 out of pocket every week. Which does not go towards our $13,000 deductible. Next year we're switching again so I'm sure there will be something they won't cover.

I make too much money to get anything from the state, which seeing how I live in Texas, I'm not really sure I'd want their services. Come hell or high water we getting out of this state and if possible this country next year.

In the US Air Force they use US currency at all overseas facilities and shops on the base. But they don't ship pennies because it's not worth the cost, so they round up or down to the nearest 5. I worked with a guy who was so cheap that when it would round down he would pay with cash and when it would round up he would write a check (this was before debit cards, yes I'm that old).

I could understand that if they were an overseas company, but they are from the US. That had to be one of the most incompetent customers service reps ever.

The writing for Endgame was lazy crap to just let them wrap things up with an epic battle. The second they introduced time travel and said, "okay, here are our specific rules we need to follow," I just checked out. It was a lazy deus ex machina so they could just retcon all of the story lines and have the battle scenes. The battle was entertaining, but didn't feel earned. If they done something with everyone being trapped in the soul-stone or in a parallel universe it would have been so much more interesting. Like if you had both universes working together to rejoin then an epic battle, but no, let's just time travel and bring everyone back, but also let Tony keep his kid. It was just lazy.

Maybe if he traveled in 1848
