What’s the most simple thing you’ve ever had to explain to a fully competent adult?
That you cannot fax money to someone.
Had someone accidentally fax us some paperwork. They then asked if we would fax it back due to the paperwork being confidential…
I have received a fax in an envelope. like… they took the documents, put em in an envelope, then faxed me a picture of the sealed envelope.
When I was a kid, I faxed my dad’s satellite office drawings of horses. I had watched my father send so many faxes that I had the process memorized. Except, for some reason I thought that I could fax things to grandma. I put in the numbers for the office every time, but was convinced that the faxes were going to grandma. I also didn’t think to inform my parents that I was doing this.
My dad visited the satellite office (three hour drive) one day and discovered their conference room white board absolutely covered in my drawings. The guys thought it was adorable that I sent drawings and letters to them, and didn’t tell my dad because they knew he’d stop me.
That’s one of the cutest things I’ve ever heard.
I like that this just turned into stories about faxing
so, if anyone else is literally ten years behind on video games
Portal is currently $1 on Steam
(I am excited to try it! I played, like, a couple of levels on a friend’s computer years and years ago, but never more than that because (a) my parents were hardline on No Computer Games, and (b) it kept making me nauseous if I tried to play more than, like, 10 minutes at a time. I’ve been wanting to give it another try for a while, and given that I may or may not be over the nausea thing, $1 seemed like the right price to give it a go.)

Dear Past Me,
It’s okay if all the homework you do isn’t just right. The teacher won’t even care if the board games you have to keep making are fun to play, or have reasonable balances between the players. Don’t agree to split up study guides for finals; that will make you miserable and they won’t follow through. Also a group of friendships is about to end, and I would totally give you advice about it if I had the faintest clue why it happened. On the plus side, you’ll meet a group of friendly new people! Your taste in fiction is great and no you did not change your mind a few years later, though you’ll develop some new ones too. Think a little harder about the moral implications of some of them, though. Also try to remember that other people have different tastes and that’s okay. You’ll probably be happier if you work on figuring out and not poking at people’s boundaries. Everything is pretty much okay a few years in the future though, so you don’t need to worry much about that.
Yours,
Future You

Dear Future Me,
I hope you’re doing something interesting and fulfilling. Also I hope that full-time college is better than high school with college classes. I don’t really look forward to being you because being a sort-of adult sounds terrifying and I am almost completely unprepared. I guess you’re probably doing something with some combination of computers, science, math, and art? I should probably go back to learning more computer things since those are almost certainly going to be useful for whatever you decide to do. I hope you’re still friendly with the people I care most about. You’re probably living a slightly more ethical life, since you’ve had more time to learn things in. I hope you did something at some point with all the weird art supplies I’ve been collecting. I haven’t had any great ideas for what to do with them yet, but they look useful. I also hope I haven’t completely forgotten all the information I’ve learned so far that will actually be useful to you. Best of luck!
Yours,
Past You

Update on the Being Future Me situation:
I’ve got a job that’s reasonably interesting, although I don’t really seem to have a calling like some people do. Metrology-internship calls for a lot of being really detail oriented and doing stuff I’m good at, which is nice. I am currently focusing on stuff that is math and computers, although in ways sorta related to science. I don’t remember who I cared about back then. If I was thinking of my little cousins, I still love them a lot, although we don’t see each other much. I am still close friends with our friend from the summer we moved, and with our friend one grade older than us (who apparently had a crush on me? we dated a bit and broke up, and it was confusing but not a big deal, don’t worry about it). I made better friends with some of the people at school, and a lot more friends with kindred spirits on the internet. I’m trying to eat less chicken and eggs. I think we were wrong about veg*nism before, and I’m not doing as well as I’d like to, but I think it is better. On an interpersonal level, I think I’ve gotten better at being decent to people around me. College is more expensive than we thought it would be. It’s going to be fine, but our plan of getting a job and donating is probably going to have to wait until Further Future Me graduates and gets an actual job instead of an internship job. I did not do something at some point with all the weird stuff we didn’t want to just throw out. I do less physical arts even than we used to. I’m going to have to get rid of the giant horde of miscellaneous cardboard and plastic and containers out before I leave for college. I don’t think you forgot too much I would have needed, although it would’ve been nice if we’d remembered more trig. Hopefully Further Future Us stays on board with the “leading a fulfilling life and being a better person” plan.
Future Me, how’s that going? @kelsbraintumbler
I had no idea there were transgender Pikachus. XD
Reblog if u love and support her!
what? :o explain pls i dont watch pokemon
Pokemon have physical differences between male and female. Pikachu is far less subtle in its gender differences. Females have a heart shape tip to their tail, while males have that v shape.
Anyway here’s trans Pikachu.
Reblog to support trans Pikachu and how happy she is about her new gender-affirming tail
