Remember, it's illegal to use your phone while driving. Instead, use the giant iPad built into the car and flip through 50 settings to use navigation or turn ac on.

Like stop bouncing on it bro😭✌️
My daughter brought her new boyfriend to Sunday dinner last month.
He’s 24, works at a COMMERCIAL TIRE SHOP, and has grease permanently stained into his cuticles.
He didn’t say much, just ate three servings of my pot roast and nodded a lot.
After they left, I told my wife I wished my daughter would date someone with a bit more ambition.
Someone who didn't look like they just crawled out from under a semi-truck.
Two weeks later, my alternator died on the shoulder of Route 9 during a torrential downpour.
I called AAA, but the wait time was two hours.
My daughter must have seen my text in the family group chat because twenty minutes later, her boyfriend's beat-up Chevy truck pulled up behind me.
He didn't have a raincoat.
He just got straight to work in the pouring rain, leaning over my engine bay while semi-trucks flew past at 70 miles per hour, spraying us with dirty highway water.
It took him forty-five minutes of wrestling with a rusted bolt to get the spare part in.
When he finished, he was soaked to the bone and shivering.
I pulled out my wallet and tried to hand him two hundred dollars.
He looked at the cash, then looked at me, and gently pushed my hand away.
He said,
"Sir, you don't pay family.
Just make sure your daughter gets home safe tonight."
I sat in my dry, warm car on the drive home feeling incredibly small.
I had judged his worth by the dirt under his fingernails,
completely missing the size of his heart.
The autistic urge to compensate for your lack of social skills by getting into sociology, art, anthropology and psychology and getting so curiositymaxxed about the world around you that you start to view every social interaction as an opportunity to learn about other people and get creatively inspired to the point that that even the clumsiest interactions feel meaningful and enriching
i came out as trans to my bi gf of 7 years and she cried all night, told me i needed to go to therapy, booked herself intensive therapy session and then three months later came out as straight and broke up w me right before my birthday
"You hand a diagnosis to a child...and you forever change that child's view of himself or herself.
That's what we were seeing. We were seeing kids handed a limitation and told: 'There's something wrong with you, and only science can fix you. It's out of your control.'...
That's a devastating thing to tell a child."
@AbigailShrier with @Rafa_Mangual on the @CityJournal podcast last week:
The autistic urge to win people's friendship by being as helpful as you can, but then accidentally getting manipulated and misled by opportunists who use you for your free labour.
“how was i supposed to know” your mom says about your ADHD. “mom, i refused to eat anything that touched another food on my plate. i talked to myself constantly. i had to be the line leader or i’d cry. i lost every coat i ever owned. i hyperfixated on the titanic for an entire year of my life. i would only fall asleep if the closet door was open exactly halfway. you raised me. i was right there.”
