Don't get me wrong it's a sweet story. But all I can think of is, how long do you wait before throwing away the treat he left there?

Just look up any popular self-help book on Amazon. You'll see a ton with a slight variation of the name something added to the title like "Summary of" or "Guide to" or "Secrets of". Just search for "the subtle art of not giving a f*ck" for plenty of examples.

Then as an adult I realized "Oh, poor kid was dealing with a lot of unaddressed trauma."
I hadn't thought of that angel before. That's actually a really good way to look it.

I'm curious at what age you read it. Because I first read it at 15 and thought it was the best book ever. I would even recommend it to people for years.
Then I read it again in my late 20s and had the same reaction you did. I thought he just came off as a whiny little shit. I still feel embarrassed that I recommended that book to people for over 10 years.
I remember telling my wife this after I reread it (she was someone I recommended it to) and she was like, "yeah, I didn't want to say anything at the time, but I hated it."

For those of us that pooped before smart phones, there was a book series called Uncle John's Bathroom Reader. I could totally see them have a section dedicated to this.

Reminds me of when I was a kid watching Annie, I figured since it was set in the 1930s, it was filmed back then. I got really confused when I was a teenager and saw a rerun of the Carrol Burnett Show.

I always set the last button to the TV guide channel. It made it less suspicious if they saw the channel change. Or at least that's what I reasoned.

I had a similar trick. If I set the VCR to channel 4 and the TV to channel 3, it would shift all the cable channels down one. So Cinemax which was channel 14 and blocked would come in as channel 13 completely clear.

I was driving from Bakersfield to LA and pulled off the highway to get some gas. It was one of those exit ramps that goes down lower than the highway. I'm sitting at the light waiting to turn left and go under the highway, when a car comes flying off the highway upside down. It is airborne and goes right over top of my car. It hits the ground, slides until it hits the other side of the road and somehow rolls back onto its wheels. It then tries to take off but just crashes into fence and stops. A few moments later a parade of police cars came hauling ass down the exit ramp. I just drove straight back onto the highway and stopped at the next gas station.

Oh man, I was so disappointed with the show Siren: Survive the Island. I thought it had an awesome premise and was hopeful since it was Korean that it won't be your typical "reality show manufacturer drama". I was so disappointed.

My wife and I have had this conversation trying to get services for our son with autism. I make too much to qualify for anything, but my companies insurance sucks so bad that I end up paying thousands out of pocket each month.

Giants 3 touchdowns, 1 failed PAT, 2 failed 2 point conversions Washington 7 field goals Seriously one of the strangest score summaries I've seen. https://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/401671716/giants-commanders
I think I'm ready to give vegan a try, but I'm struggling with breakfast ideas. Mostly I'd meal prep egg and bacon burritos or just have some toast with jam. I used to be a cereal person but after having my gallbladder removed I developed an intolerance to lactose. And I haven't found any good alternatives for milk or cheese that I like, so I've basically cut them out of my diet. Plus most cereal is loaded with sugar, and... I found out yesterday that I'm prediabetic and my cholesterol is a little high. So, I'm trying to move away from animal products and sugar. I will occasionally have toast with peanut butter and banana on it, but that's so calorie dense, I only eat it on days I know I'll be doing a lot of physical activities. Most days I sit at a desk for 8-10 hours. So really the only other thing I can think of is oatmeal. And eating a bowl full of something hot is the last thing I want to do after my morning walk. I'm in Texas so it's hot even when I go out at 5 AM. I'm looking for ideas that can, preferably, be meal prepped or take less than 5 minutes to make. But I'm open to any ideas. Thanks!
We had some insane wind up here in Denton. Trees down, lots of power outages.

I'm so glad to see Howie focusing on the defense
One of my guilty pleasures is shredding guitar solos. I'm looking for recommendations on punk guitarists or songs that absolutely shred. Examples: * [Lagwagon (Chris Rest) - Surviving California](https://youtu.be/jXewhl5jlPs) * [Dead Kennedys (East Bay Ray) - Pull My Strings](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=7lBohhXmoLs)

Thought I'd include a pretty good retrospective video about the making of this music video. https://youtu.be/5b9PPZTsNes
I'm looking for some games for my son that lets him explore and play around at his own pace. Things similar to First Contact, which he loved. He has motor control problems, so games that requires precise movements are difficult for him. For example, he cannot make it though the first song on Beat Saber when it is set to easy and the directions are turned off. If you know of any that just allow a player to just explore or manipulate the things around them, while also hopefully being entertaining for a 12 year old, please let me know. Thanks!
I’m looking for some advice on setting up a retro gaming system for my son. He absolutely loves the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive and some Atari classics like Frogger. The problem I have is he is autistic, which leads to two very different issues to solve. First is he loves to tinker with things. Which I don’t mind, and actively encourage in kids because that's how you learn. However, when he breaks something, it can cause full blown meltdowns. Like you would think the end of the world is coming level meltdowns. Therefore, things like the Nintendo Switch are great because there is not much he can do in the settings. Especially, with the built-in parent controls. However, when I’ve tried setting him up with a laptop with Retro Arch, he will jack with the settings and break it in a matter of minutes. I’d like to figure out something I can plug into a TV that will allow him to play retro games, preferably with a wireless controller (because I’ll be damned if I can get him to sit still why playing Sonic). The best solution I’ve used in the past was a Nvidia Shield TV running Arch Browser. He still managed to factory reset once, but outside of that it worked well. However, the fact that it is a full streaming/media system is overkill for what I’m looking for. Plus, I really don’t like the direction it has been heading with the built-in ads and other Google crap. I looked into the Sega Genesis mini, but they are selling for more than a Shield TV and have wired controllers. I have an Atari flashback, but it is crap with it's IR controllers. Whoever though of that obviously has never tried to get a child to maintain line of sight while playing a game. So, I’m wondering if anyone has any suggestion for hardware/software that will allow for the playing of retro games on a TV, but also have a way of either preventing tampering with settings, making it more difficult to get to the settings, or even something that can be reset and configured with a few clicks. I’d love to be able to tell him, look if you mess it up just reboot and it will reset.

> Philadelphia Eagles tackle Lane Johnson has "helped a lot more people than people realize" and is the team's nominee for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award After his early troubles with performance-enhancing drugs and injuries, I thought he would be out of the league in a couple of years. Not only has he become one of the best tackles but an all around great guy too. I've never been so glad to be wrong.

- LB Ben VanSumeren was signed from the practice squad to the active roster. - CB Josiah Scott and WR Cam Sims were signed to the practice squad. - WR Greg Ward was released from the practice squad. I hope Ward gets another chance somewhere. Not the best receiver but he seemed like a good dude with some potential.
