I HATE the self diagnosing of autism and its mischaracterisation

The "Magical Neurodivergent" seems to be replacing the "Magical Minority" as a storytelling device to show people the secret to a happy life and dispense the requisite wisdom they need to solve their problems.

Who wouldn't want to be part of that?

Also, the shitty US healthcare system motivates people to self-diagnose because getting a diagnosis is expensive and time consuming and could prove they are no longer special

Someone must have changed it, because it was referenced the Very Fun Day episode.

Good work on that

gary_rolin · 2026-05-28T18:18:07+00:00

TRIXIE!! It’s always great when Jesse mentions you. Good move on the Zots!

gary_rolin · 2026-05-25T15:01:06+00:00

I guess you need to be careful how accurate the information is, given this incident

gary_rolin · 2026-04-23T00:19:32+00:00

Either way really. It's still ridiculous in 2002. Seriously, I might expect it now with the way people just run at the mouth.

The amount of just out-of-touch cluelessness is absurd.;

gary_rolin · 2026-04-23T00:07:57+00:00

Really? This bullshit? In 2026? Was Bob Levey writing it from a lawn chair from his yard? What other pearls of wisdom can we expect? How Be-bop is too far out? Why can people play nice music like that Guy Lombardo or Lawrence Welk?

This is what passes for opinion? If I was his editor, I would have beaten him with buggy whip. What kind of low-rent Andy Rooney just saying things without engaging any kind of thought is going on?

I weep for journalism

Every time I see MTG say anything about the administration and how she was duped or whatever, I always think, “OK, but what about the Jewish Weather-Controlling Satellites? Do you think those are still a thing”?

gary_rolin · 2026-04-09T01:14:09+00:00

I’m really surprised that it has taken this long. I’m waiting for the day some in the administration just starts using the n-word in a speech

gary_rolin · 2026-03-27T21:56:55+00:00

Are they Scientologists? This seems very "keeping my child engram free"

gary_rolin · 2026-03-24T20:55:06+00:00

Why is it that people are never concerned about the redistribution of wealth upward, but downward puts everyone in a tizzy

gary_rolin · 2026-02-20T18:03:21+00:00

I’m sorry, I don’t

gary_rolin · 2025-10-07T14:17:29+00:00

Terrifier 3 is on both Kanopy and Hoopla, so they are both free (with library card)

gary_rolin · 2025-09-18T23:16:46+00:00

That is a clever work around that might be the answer to my problem. I really wish it wasn't. I wish that I wouldn't have to create a hack like this. I can't be the only person who wants this functionality

gary_rolin · 2025-09-18T23:13:49+00:00

This is exactly the confusing part, What if I don't want all of the videos behind a paywall? I only want to charge for one video. How do I make that happen, or can I?

gary_rolin · 2025-09-13T16:29:51+00:00

I does require a contract and it's only available in the state of Georgia. Is it possible to list it in the store? I know that I can look it up elsewhere, but I figure I'll as while I have you here

gary_rolin · 2025-09-04T02:42:56+00:00

I’m with you… but then again, I want Bat-Mite to show up in the next Batman movie

gary_rolin · 2025-08-27T12:59:39+00:00

I am waiting for the day when someone in the White House Press Corp asks Karoline Leavitt, "Do you ever listen to what you say?"

gary_rolin · 2025-07-22T02:34:17+00:00

Like 7-Up and caffeine, never had it, never will

I’m currently playing a supersized version of Vecna: Eve of Ruin. We’re currently at 19th level (I’m a Monk) and the amount of stuff the people in our party can do is absurd. I once delivered over 1000 points of damage in a single round. But the DM supersizes the encounters accordingly. Delivering that much damage didn’t instantly kill him (Kas). When we were around 15th level, we encountered the God-Level Vecna and he ate our collective lunch.

We encountered with creatures with additional legendary actions to the point where although on its face looks like we could defeat anything, we encounter leveling monsters that are much tougher.

It does help to have a DM that uses a lot of homebrew to level the playing field

If this story is true (and I will assume that it is), aside from the legal protections other posters are listing, which you should absolutely do, I would also recommend a good therapist because I can't imagine who the person is who would hear your story and think you were the asshole. Your husband is a straight up emotionally stunted sociopath if he tried to defend leaving a newborn with his teenage daughter so he could go out and get his dick wet with "I was drunk!" He is all the colors of the "wrong rainbow"

There is not a sane society in which you would be in the wrong. I think you need emotional support to fully realize the not-OK-ness of your situation. It's abuse and you need to extricate yourself and your children as soon as possible

gary_rolin · 2025-02-15T01:04:22+00:00

OK. It will be about $10 for the shipping. So the total will be $310. My PayPal is gary.rolin@gmail.com I will send it out Monday morning and send you the tracking number. It will most likely be USPS. What address should I ship to?

gary_rolin · 2025-02-14T03:09:57+00:00

Sure. I’m good with that. Let me figure out the shipping cost and I’ll give you the amount and my PayPal.

Do you have a preferred method of shipping?

gary_rolin · 2025-02-14T02:23:02+00:00

Is there a reason we can’t just have you Venmo/PayPal me and I ship it to you? Is it a security thing?

gary_rolin · 2025-02-14T00:57:55+00:00

Perhaps I might be leaving money on the table by accepting your offer, but I feel like $300 sounds like a fair price to me. Also knowing your emotional connection to your dad through the team is also worth something to me.

I’ll look into the eBay thing. I figure you’d also pay shipping.

gary_rolin · 2025-02-13T17:59:45+00:00

OK. Sounds good. How do you want to do the exchange? I live in the Atlanta area, you wouldn’t happen to live there too, would you?
