      Does anybody here have moderate to severe ADHD and can honestly say you do not have anxiety and depression? Not necessarily medicated, but I’d expect it to be a lot more common in this crowd. Our crowd.

    This cartoon is basically my programming career. Initially I thought that everything had to be planned out to the most exacting degree (panel 1). Then I learned that nothing ever goes as planned so you have to be able to adapt on the fly to changing circumstances; eventually I realized that adaptation is so much more important that you really don’t need much of a plan at all, especially when you’re basically writing the same software over and over again (panel 2).

    Eventually I realized that nobody ever used the software I was writing so there wasn’t much point in doing anything at all (panel 3). Then I was laid off and now I drive a school bus (panel 4).

      I was thinking the autism dino would say something like “ok you still have to do everything somehow, but you cannot ask for help”

      I don’t know where this is, but I know both Coke and Pepsi don’t like to allow venders to sell both. They have special terms and pricing for exclusive contracts.

        They do, but you can get contracts that don’t specify that the other companies products aren’t allowed in the store. You pay a higher price, but they’d rather have their product in your restaurant along with the competition, than none of their products in your restaurant, so it’s not too bad of a price gouge.

        After all, it’s not like they even try to enforce that shit at grocery stores and convenience stores/ gas stations.

        You know, I never noticed that. My immediate thought would be like a high school commissary or some place too small to prosecute for buying a flavor bag outside of a contract. If that’s even possible

      All my executive functions got Luigi’d, and now I’ve accidentally left a package of pre-sliced Gouda on the counter for 24 hours.

        Oof! Depending on how cold it was initially, I might try to salvage that, but if it smells even slightly off, in the bin it goes. :(

    Yeah, but to me it depends on how much groceries I’m carrying mith me and if it needs to be refrigerated.
