I hereby offer a dank meme that got sent to me earlier today as compensation.

@shebang
Better? 😕

@xyfdi Hah, except this just makes me grouchy. Especially when I think about our temporary income tax.

@shebang
Being autistic AF I have no idea on how to reply to this. I initially wanted to go the weird cheesy angle by posting some kitten or puppy and with the message of "here are hugs and cuddles" or something overly cheesy. It just seemed wrong. So...

I give up. So here, take this classic cute and cuddly.

@xyfdi This is acceptable.

@shebang @xyfdi Would it be acceptable for me to put your hair in a pair of braids, though?

@cowanon @xyfdi Weird schoolgirl braids or like badass ones?

@shebang @cowanon
Half-ass it, maybe?

@xyfdi @cowanon Hmm better not.

@shebang @xyfdi

@cowanon @xyfdi ok that looks good though, like a celtic look. Yeah.

@shebang @xyfdi Moar brutal ladies!

When I had longer hair I used to do two thin braids down either side of my face over where sideburns would be. I probably just looked like a hobo trying not to look like a hobo!

@cowanon @xyfdi I think it really helps to be gorgeous if you are gonna do that lol

@shebang @xyfdi The red blotches on my chubby cheeks don't help matters! I've just gone back to straight, parted hair with a long goatee for that "Nordic acolyte of the Church of Satan" I had several years ago. (An old acquaintance came up with that title, not I.)

@shebang @cowanon

Yeah, that is what winning the genetic lottery does for people.
