If you have to be mentally ill/neurodivergent to do X horrible thing, then why is it always the neurotypical kids who bully the neurodivergent/mentally ill kids and not the opposite? Just look at your average school yard if you want proof that neurotypical people have the potential to be really, really horrible and violent towards innocent people.
The way that the opening monologe of Fallout 4 is, it’s sort of obvious that the male character was supposed to be the default character but that just makes it even more hilarious if you play as the female character because it’s like this big buff guy starts off a dramatic, movie by saying, “War. War never changes.” And talks about how everyone in his family fought in the war and how he fought in the war and will continue to fight to protect his land and the people he loves etc. etc. etc. But then like two minutes into the game, he ends up dying and then his wife is just like, “Okay, I guess it’s up to me.” And she gets all of these gadgets and weapons and armor and companions and is the one to ultimately be the hero (or the villain, depending on which ending you choose) and that’s just perfect.
I remember once I was talking to two guys and one of them was complaining about his parents when the second chimed in. “Try having four parents!”
We automatically assumed that he had divorced parents that got remarried. He corrected us; “No, there is a plot twist. My mom and dad never got married but had me. They were going to get married, but then my dad suddenly confessed he was gay. My mom was so relieved and said that she discovered she was a lesbian and was afraid to tell him. So they stayed together in the same house for me. Then eventually both got partners. So my dad has his husband and my mom has her wife.”
And the third kid just looks down at the ground for a really long time before whispering, “That’s gay. “
“But the Kaiser survey indicates that there’s been a decline in the percentage of Republicans who want to see the law repealed just since October. In that month, 69 percent of GOPers said they favored repealing the entire law. A month later, once it was clear that the GOP would be in control of the health care debate, just 52 percent of Republicans said the law should be repealed.”
This is your Sunday evening reminder that you can handle whatever this week throws at you. Even if school, work or general life isn’t okay, you’ll get through it because you are damn strong and amazing.
