“you’re too old for fandom” is ridiculous. i only want to read fanfiction written by people old enough to know what the citrus scale is.

Breaking: people with “struggle unless they are interested” disorder do well once they can work in an area that interests them
An increase in ADHD after No Child Left Behind is not evidence — it's correlational and diagnoses have been rising for decades.
"Kids don't like school!" also isn't evidence. Kids have always disliked school. Without a comparison to previous cohorts this is meaningless.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

periodic refresher that you don’t need to preface any feedback with “normally I hate X, but…” or “I thought this would be gross, but...” you can just say the nice thing without the negging first. type it out if you must but then delete it before you hit post

I had a children’s encyclopedia set from my older cousins that extolled the virtues of asbestos, this great fireproof mineral
(stares skeptically in Encarta)

“Are the fae open source” is the kind of deranged sentence that keeps me addicted to microblogging. Beautiful poison Rappaccini flower.

i think if you want to have those disgusting LED headlights on your car, you should have to do a test where they blast you point blank with your own headlights and then you have 15 seconds to successfully complete some sort of vision-based task, and if you can't do it they push your car off a cliff
