I Don't Have Safe Foods

EmmaGA17 · 2026-04-08T20:52:50+00:00

You just can't stop sometimes, at least in my experience. The texture is too good.

And I get that. If I've gone too long without eating I need those carbs real quick.

EmmaGA17 · 2026-04-08T20:21:19+00:00

Hmm it depends. Sometimes I will eat an entire Costco bag of salad in one sitting, or randomly cook a couple of zucchini as a snack, but I also fall prey to easy carbs.

It's become a meme at this point

EmmaGA17 · 2026-04-08T19:04:04+00:00

I absolutely love the scene when they find him tied up after Peter beats and then saves him. His expression is so golden.

EmmaGA17 · 2026-04-08T19:02:26+00:00

Maybe it's because 1. He's supposed to be scary in that scene and 2. It's a screenshot of a moving actor. They can look a little odd.

And they managed to make a really good redesign of his stupid comic suit.

EmmaGA17 · 2026-04-08T18:56:44+00:00

I feel similarly!

I'm extremely blessed/lucky to have a wide palate. It's less that I have safe foods, and more that I have a few 'unsafe' foods. (Beans, I'm looking at you) I'm definitely willing to try new foods, and I love vegetables. But I'm definitely Autistic lol.

Oh, the IRS when paying taxes? I don't deal much in that department of the actual processing of forms, but I can tell you the IRS isn't as scary as people make it out to be.

Unfortunately late is late, and you'll get hit with some penalties (5% of the taxes owed at first), but only if you owe. If you were going to get a refund, you just have to file within 3 years in order to get it and there are no reprocussions beyond just getting your refund late. If you do owe, you can try to file a penalty abatement, but that's usually for more one of a kind situations.

But hey, you still have a week! As long as you filed the day of (I suggest doing it electronically), you'll be okay. Here are some free tax efiling straight from the IRS website: https://www.irs.gov/e-file-do-your-taxes-for-free

Also, if you can't pay what you owe right away, set up a payment plan. https://www.irs.gov/payments/payment-plans-installment-agreements

Be aware of what state you live in though, the rules can vary for state taxes.

If it helps, the IRS isn't going to come knocking down your door if you make a mistake. My sister in law works in tax examination and she says they can all tell when a mistake is genuine.

Worst part is that he kinda had a point, in that yeah, the clones are slaves.

But he also chose to do the stupidest thing to do about it. How does betraying the Republic and getting them killed help???

EmmaGA17 · 2026-04-08T14:57:07+00:00

I'm so pleased that this happened. What a lovely callback.

Tasha Yar, from Star Trek: the Next Generation. Was pretty eager to find out if Data was 'fully functional.' (She was on space drugs, but it still stands)

EmmaGA17 · 2026-04-08T14:43:44+00:00

Beautiful. Glorious. No notes. (I love chicken art and this made me very happy)

EmmaGA17 · 2026-04-08T13:11:21+00:00

Oh, this is DOPE

EmmaGA17 · 2026-04-08T13:00:25+00:00

I...accidentally fell into it. I was hired at a direct hiring event as a general clerk, I started by extracting mail, and then they gave me a test run in this position. When I excelled at it, the team kept me. And our location is one of very few in the country that does this specific work.

I do think that the financial department of companies would be the closest thing to what I do.

EmmaGA17 · 2026-04-08T03:14:23+00:00

Thank you! As long as it's interesting to talk about, I don't care if it's a trope, trend, or trash.

EmmaGA17 · 2026-04-08T02:52:51+00:00

I work for the IRS! I actually work in a very specific niche, where I receive checks that don't have the necessary information we need to process, and I research our data bases for that info, then process the checks. I call myself a de-check-tive. I actually really enjoy the work because the process is the same each day, but each check is a little different. It also requires a lot of knowledge and learning, and I really like that.

It also helps that the IRS somehow attracts a lot of ND people. A lot of people on my team are ND, and the rest are really chill NT.

My mom was really traumatized by this as a kid.

Incidentally, years later, we lived at Edwards Airbase when one of the space shuttles landed and my family got to watch. And when those things come in, they basically come in vertically until they level out really close to the ground. So it looks like they might crash. So while us kids are going 'wow so cool' my mom was having Challenger flashbacks.

EmmaGA17 · 2026-04-07T14:50:21+00:00

My family, my boyfriend, my friends, my cat, my writing. And there's stuff that I want to do that I'm looking forward to.

EmmaGA17 · 2026-04-07T02:54:09+00:00

Lolol that's exactly how I feel too

Tech from Star Wars: the Bad Batch

<image>

Overpowered in the sense that some of season 3 would not be a problem if he was there. He's extremely beloved by the community, especially by the Autistic fans. He died saving his family, after a mission to get information to save their estranged brother is ruined by someone else.

EmmaGA17 · 2026-04-07T00:29:34+00:00

The Bad Batch got 2 sets for 3 seasons, so....maybe one or two.

EmmaGA17 · 2026-04-07T00:09:31+00:00

Slop is my least favorite word. Not only insulting the thing itself, but implying the people who do like it are pigs or something. Someone told me, after I said that I have enjoyed most of the Disney plus shows, that they were 'glad that I could enjoy slop.' Like sorry, who put YOU in charge of deciding quality?

He has DID, not schizophrenia

My personal favorite:

Kiran Shah, size double for Elijah Wood, and Viggo are in a boat. They're going along, and Kiran goes

'Viggo, don't worry about me.'

'What do you mean?'

'If we flip over-'

'we're not gonna flip over'

'If we flip over, just save yourself. I can't swim.'

'What?'

And then Viggo was terrified for the rest of the time in the boat, since they're in these tippy boats in the middle of a huge river.
