    “Oh, in social structures when someone tries to make me do something, I just refuse. I can’t keep a job for more than a month. I get by for now by (fill in the blank) but I’m never more than one step away from becoming actually homeless and the background stress from that makes everyone around me think I’m bipolar. Wish I weren’t like this.”

    (fill in the blank) isn’t necessarily a euphemism: i’ve seen more than a couple different answers to that. and of course “one step away from homelessness” does become zero, but also zero becomes one. idk what to say if you can’t believe that there are people who have this symptom so bad that they “flunk out” in some way, except to encourage you to venture out of your social circles to the degree you’re comfortable with it.

    how to piss off your garbage man:

    1. place garbage outside bins.
    2. obstruct all paths to the garbage bins.
    3. stack garbage so it’s impossible to lift any bin without spilling its contents.

    you better be tipping him real good or he gonna leave you

    don’t forget the “install our app to make the next login faster” interstitial after you press “login”. can you really claim they don’t care about how painful their login process is when they’ve gone out of their way like that to provide you with a less painful option??

    ngl i feel safer digging through CDs while driving than digging through a music library on some phone touchscreen. probably if i learned to use voice controls i’d feel better about the phone but i’m at that age where i’m comfortable enough with my ways that i’d rather not have to change them.
