I believe he goes here, it's a two year community college so there isn't room & board.
I initially read that as "Technical College of the Lolcow"

Christ, that sounds like it's going to devolve into some fucked-up Human Centipede shit. Except with a bunch of Molay Ringwoods joined at the navel or something.Hannibal Lecter, or Buffalo Bill?
If this is any indication, hate speech, from one of his many "bitches & whores" rants.Which leaves me with one question - @Connor, what did you do to get banned?
Living with Asperger’s: Inside the mind of one student
We all know someone who is different from us. Some people choose to dress a certain way, some have unique study habits, and then there are others who are different because of situations beyond their control.
Meet Connor Bible, who was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome when he was eight.
What is Asperger’s? For Connor, it is “a different way of perception… an alternate wiring of the brain.”
Aspies, a term for someone who has Asperger’s, tend to have difficulties with reading people’s body language. “Sarcasm is pretty difficult because I tend to take it literally. I do, however, have a sense of humor, which isn’t very typical,” Connor said.
According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, certain ways of speaking and using language is often typical of Asperger’s syndrome. For instance, many speak with an overly formal manner or in a monotone voice, and have difficulties with non-verbal communication such as gestures and facial expressions.
Connor doesn’t let Asperger’s control his life. However, he does find school life to be difficult when it comes to essays because “essays need to be very organized, which I have difficulty with since I have a tendency to switch topics a lot.”
Switching topics, or going off on tangents about subjects in the conversation, are also typical behaviors of Asperger’s. As Connor puts it, his way of thinking is like “a stream of consciousness,” in that it is always flowing. Another characteristic is an intense focus on one particular area or several different areas. For Connor, it is reading, writing and movies—especially sci-fi thrillers.
Connor is currently writing a book titled ‘Redesigning Eva.’ It is about a girl, Eva Elliot, who is living in a world filled with people who are obsessed with redesigning themselves technologically. After being offered a job by the corporation Prometheus, Eva is turned into a superwoman.
Interestingly, his main character Eva may have Asperger’s.
“She is socially awkward, very isolated, not a lot of friends, and she is very confrontational. If this is true, if she really is an Aspie, then the book is almost an allegory for the desire by some to become neuro-typical, or a ‘normal’ person,” he said.
While there isn’t a direct cure for Asperger’s syndrome, education as to what is and is not appropriate can help someone with Asperger’s function among their peers.
Special Education teacher Hillary Savarese, one of Connor’s instructor’s, has taught several students with Autism or Asperger’s. She realizes that kids who have the syndrome “have average to high intellectual abilities, but also tend to have some social difficulties. Mostly it’s noticing what’s appropriate or what’s not appropriate, because they sometimes don’t know the repercussions of the things they say,” she said.
As with any medical condition, there is no textbook case for Asperger’s syndrome. While some traits might be shared between two Aspies, some other traits might be different. For instance, one might be interested in art while another in history.
“I believe every student is different,” Savarese said. “For every single one of them, I try to help them focus on their strengths instead of their weaknesses, and to get their peers to accept the differences. Since a lot of kids with Asperger’s see only the here and now, I help them focus on the future and to work toward their goals.”
Now, Connor’s goals for his future are to become a novelist by completing ‘Redesigning Eva,’ and to live a literary life around books, particularly in an atmosphere similar to a library.
“Reality sucks because it is hard and complicated. Fiction is better since you can change the plot and, essentially, make the future yours.”

I can't believe she used "Aspies" in an essay.It seems a brief exposé was written about Connor by a classmate when he was in high school, primarily focusing on his autism, and how his autism makes him obsessed with his book. To the shock of absolutely no one, Connor's "focus" for his condition is movies and books, and he much prefers them to reality since he can't change reality.
EDIT: Calling @Philly Cheese Steak ! But I can give it a shot.Could any artsy people draw some Molly Ringwalds joined at the naval?![]()
It's just not a very good one.Sarcasm is pretty difficult because I tend to take it literally. I do, however, have a sense of humor

There's not really all that much is funny, other than the few passages I've bolded
Ms. Crandall's synopsis of Redesigning Eva is 10x more succinct than Connor's, and actually makes it seem like something I'd want to leaf through.

If WrongPlanet members actually read this thread, they'll actually know who you are: Having irrational hate over adoption, obsessions over Molly Ringwald, inability to deal with criticism, and giving tons of excuses and including blaming ANYONE but yourself.
I remember you getting doxxed by Mylar and backpedaling :3Hi, I'm RogerRabbit1988. You may remember me from such lolcow outings as Vade, Golden Knight, and Mylar Balloon fan.
But, with all honesty, I saw this one coming a mile away. Connor was an idiot from day 1.
Weather said:I have lurked those forums for a while now and it reminds me a lot of high school cliques. Like they are the "cool" kids, the "jocks" that make fun of kids that are seen as lesser than them or weirdos, a.k.a. the "nerds."
There are people that they talk about in there that seem to deserve being derided and mocked like that Nick Bate dude and this Vade person but they also make fun of people that are mentally ill or have some kind of mental disability that prevents them from being able to exercise better judgement.
For example, they make fun of someone called MylarBalloonFan who likes 90's stuff and has a fetish for mylar balloons and also has autism. Then there is Jace who is clearly a schizophrenic and have had been trolled using his delusions against himself (note: as far as I am aware there are supposedly "no trolling plans" allowed on that site.)
These people also seem to have a disdain for anyone that is receiving disability for mental or developmental disabilities. They seem to have that meritocratic attitude of "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" that right wing people usually have. According to them, having a "tugboat" is a requisite of being a so called "lolcow."
The people on these particular forums seem to have outright derision especially for people with autism and even use the words "autism" and "sperg" in a derogatory manner. It seems that anyone that isn't "normal" by society's standards, or is seen as eccentric are potential lolcows and they get off on laughing at those that are targeted, not realizing that those people probably are in pain from their torment.
It shouldn't surprise anyone that those forums are full of trolls and a recent study shows that those that engage in trolling and cyberbullying share traits of the Dark Triad. Here's an article based on that study:

Since Chris Chan is no longer providing them with the entertainment that they crave, they have latched onto other (probably innocent) eccentrics of the internet to fill that void, I don't know what the effects are for the victims but I imagine that a majority of them suffer as a consequence.

some cows get more compassion and outreach here than they do by their friends and family. chris
And yet, we're still the "bad guys."We gave money to a exceptional individual who burned down his own house and he spent most of it on video games and Legos. We even bought his shitty artwork. I bet Chris' own mom wouldn't even buy his medallions.
