My mom buys cheap $19 printers.
Tell her to make you a big lasagna, garden salad, and garlic bread.
While she's doing that, jerk a wire out of the printer.

Once you've eaten a big dinner, show her the broken wire and explain how much less expensive it would be to go to Office Max or whatever than to buy a new printer. Offer to pay for the copies, and dump the printer on your way out to the car.
Easy Peasy. Been there, done that.

Growing up with technology must be a curse if 22% of millenials have no friends, since even those with Aspergers make friends but with difficulty.

I just realized that although I thought it lame that someone who had already been cast in Dr. Who (and a very minor and insignificant role that), I havent even thought of Capaldi that way since his fourth or so episode as the Doctor.

That's not true. My last bf was with that syndrome but had many friends who loved him.
I just saw an article saying 22% of millenials have no friends, and as they are defined and decsribed as having grown up with technology, I made the observation and statement that it appears that growing up with technology must be a curse because those with Aspergers dont seem to have as hard of a time socially although we struggle socially (millenials also tend to be single at higher rates than others and are having less sex).

I wonder why they turned the First Doctor into a sexist *******? Some of the jokes were funny, it shows how far society has come, but while 1 was an ******* he wasnt sexist. Its abit of embarassment to how far ahead of times the show was way back then. Star Trek might as well redesign Riker into a transist. It would be about as equally off.

Riker once did get it on with a gender ambiguous alien.
Gawd....what a terrible actor.

The race was ambiguous but she identified as female instead of the socially prescribed neuter. Pretty much what we would call transgender. And from what I've read the cast and crew didn't think that episode went far enough and wanted it to have more. And here, me, a show from the 80s, I thought what they did have was amazing for the time.

She felt that way, but wasn't that way physically.
That was as ambiguous as things got back in the day.

The 80s were a colorful live age.
This new century is spent, dead.

Part of this reminded me of @Shadow Wolf but really it's about anyone who has the urge to cut loose and express what is really going on inside. (Yes, it's a commercial but I don't care)

The 80s and into the 90 and even creeping into the 00s, we were often SOL if something bad happened because the phone was at home, being gay was still an accusation, the war on drugs began and was waged to treasonous ends, the nation showed it could lose its sanity by supporting an actor for president who didn't do the responsible thing of removing himself from office and firing everyone if he really thought the government was the problem and couldn't be trusted, AIDs was scary, promises of hope and bright futures manifested into war, and, yeah, over all today has it's new wave of problems and issues and concerns but I'd rather be living now than back then. Even medically, we've learned and gained much sense then (I'm old enough to have been diagnosed with a stomach ulcer when it was still believed they were caused by stress).

Ok...you're so right SW...But I want the romance of the 80s. We can have both scientific progress and that atmosphere.

I think I may study some into why and how it got to be we don't consider alcohol, a drug, as a drug and instead make its own little category that stands apart from drugs, we say "drugs and alcohol" even though alcohol is the second most dangerous drug.
And while I'm at it, I think I'll try to find why tobacco, the public enemy number one of the drug world by leaps and bounds and a super margin ahead of the rest, isn't schedule 1 and isn't treated or demonized like cannabis, MDMA, psilocybin, and other drugs that have medical uses and are generally safe in moderation.
And why do we so heavily demonize street methamphetamine but not prescription methamphetamine (it goes by methadrine)? Do people not realize they are feeding their kids meth when they give them adderall?
