My mom: Are you seriously never going to learn how to put the blue plastic back on the tupperware? Seriously, aren't you an engineer?
My dad: Well, I don't think about small things like that. I focus on bigger things. Like for example, yesterday I figured out how to stop all hackers.
Me: *Curious engineering student* How did you do that?
My dad: *starts talking about partial-differential equations and factors and windows of time*
My mom: You do realize that makes it even sadder that you can't reassemble tupperware.
My dad: Did you hear me? I solved this problem while listening to a 45 minute podcast! Do you know what the podcast was called? "The Math Problem the Would Break the Internet!"
My mom: Yet you still can't put tupperware together.
Me: *Slowly creeping upstairs.*
My dad: *yelling* DID YOU HEAR ME? I SAVED THE INTERNET! ME! I SOLVED THE PROBLEM THAT WOULD BREAK THE INTERNET! I STOPPED ALL HACKERS! IN ONE 45 MINUTE PODCAST! I..."
Me: *dying of uncontrollable laughter in my room*
Y'all my family is hilarious. My dad literally cannot reassemble tupperware, hang curtain rods, or do any like little handyman jobs around the house. But he has his Phd. in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics. It's the funniest thing ever, because when my mom calls him out on it he feels the need to defend his honor.

Really fucked up actually that the "you are valid" culture which, usefulness and uh, validity thereof aside, was intended to provide some some perspective for people who may have been blamed for harmless things they could not control morphed into "if strangers on the internet do not constantly tell me I'm good and perfect they are the oppressor" and "even constructively and gently telling me that I hold some power and responsibility to seek a better situation is an unspeakably cruel act."

Puppyboy behavior is so nice for the autism drain, like yeh I'd like to be muzzled then I don't have to talk and can go mute, yeh I wanna be harnessed because the pressure across my skin feels so relaxing, not to mention the fact I get to let go and not really think too hard about much of anything

it's always an 'ohhhhhh' moment when you get a super annoying comment on a post (like someone misunderstanding a joke to the point where you're worried about their ability to fundamentally comprehend anything), and you go to block them, and.......they're a terf.
