I don't know what "IOP" is.
The things I don't know could fill a herd of libraries.

Intensive Outpatient Program. It was actually a PHP, Partial Hospitalization Program, but I tend to just say IOP because it turns out a TON of healthcare providers don't know what a PHP is, and even after explaining it they're still "huh?"

No, that's a funny screw with a mound.

But we both age slow and look way younger than we really are. So of course it also looks good on me.

Also, your practice of putting your resume on their desk...and then jamming a knife into the middle of, so it would blow away...... you might want to stop doing that too

Learning German has definitely already helped with Japanese.
And it has got to be due to being autistic that I can understand spoken Japanese vastly easier than spoken Spanish and German. Those two spoken, to me it's like how the Japanese write.

But I'm doing that nit just to make sure it doesn't blow away but to point to things I wish to highlight.

Well....it's highlighting the wrong thing.... might be better off, and get a better chance, if you just used a highlighter

 

[Shadow Wolf]

But how does one stamd out and leave an impression doing what others are doing? If I'm going to stabbing people shouldn't I be displaying my skills with sharo objects with a theatrical flair?

No, I don't think so...... but you do most definitely stand out while stabbing stuff

So, should I throw the knives instead to give the interviewers a shave and a haircut at two bit length?

I either forgot or never knew you were autistic. You appear to understand things including humor. I guess its not obvious in forums. Can people see that you are different, or is it subtle?

Well, it doesn't really look that bad. Yeah, it looks kind of like one, but I don't know if it needs to be removed. It's been there for 30 years, and only now people are getting upset about it?

Some residents in a California town are calling for county officials to remove a longtime sculpture they believe oddly resembles a "phallic symbol."

Richard Deutsch, the artist who created the sculpture that has stood in front of the San Benito County administrative building for 30 years, said that he was inspired by the Pinnacles National Monument, which is in the Salinas Valley region of California, according to KSBW.

"What I did was I chose some of the formations as being the center point for the project in front of your county building," Deutsch said according to the outlet.

Elia Salinas, one of the residents calling for the sculpture's removal, said that some women who work in the county building are offended by the imagery of the sculpture, KSBW reported.

"The women in this building feel uncomfortable," Salinas told the outlet. "Not all, apparently, but there are some women who feel uncomfortable to walk into thie building and having this phallic symbol."

San Benito County supervisors clashed at a board of supervisors meeting on Tuesday over the issue, with most women on the panel in favor of looking into whether the sculpture should have a place in front of the building.

"I just don't know that, in front of our county building, this statue makes much sense," Mindy Sotelo, a member of the county's board of supervisors said at a board meeting on Wednesday. "I think, some ways, it's a bit tasteless."

Another county supervisor, Dom Zanger, argued that "not every piece is going to be universally understood the same way and liked by everyone, and that's ok."

The board of supervisors voted 3-2 to create a committee to look further into whether or not the sculpture should be removed from the front of the building.

Besides, we have a long history of structures which are shaped a certain way:

I have found a discrepancy between two Japanese learning sources.
I first learned to say "I speak a little Japanese"
Nihongo ga sukoshi desu.
But in this source I'm reading it's:
Nihongo ga sukoshi hanasemasu.

Get rid of them all. And of course pens need to go as well. as do pointed sticks and Space-X rockets.

Whwn I was younger I really struggled with comedy, and stereotypically would do my laughing when I eventually got, after the fact and after everyone else has moved on. Suxh as, it was actually @Revoltingest who pointed out to me that Rocky and Bullwinkle is satirical (I've not watched it since I was little and all that went over my head).
And people usually can tell I'm different with things like a flat affect, vocalhbary anf mannerisms, but not everyone interprets it the same. A few cops have been the worst and thought I was intoxicated. A lot of people can just tell I'm different. But those familiar with autism often notice it in me

I'm guessing they don't smoke weed from conventional glass pipes.
