You made the claim. The burden is squarely on you to prove it. I don’t have to lift a finger to find something listing you as the author.
Stuff from your colleagues is easy to find.
https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/Arthur-L-Sensenig-33332862
https://www.nber.org/system/files/chapters/c7785/c7785.
Many more.
You? Nothing. It’s almost like you don’t exist. I don’t think I know any friends, family, colleagues, or even acquaintances that are so meaningless and inconsequential. When you’re gone, nobody will remember you for anything of consequence. Your direct bloodline dies with Megan. Your branch of your name died with Alex. Hell, they’ll probably tear down the home you called the “sweet spot” but are now too ashamed to admit you live in. Nothingness. That’s you.

My daddy is senile. He repeats empty claims relentlessly and abusively. He should be committed but my mother doesn't care.

You? Nothing. It’s almost like you don’t exist. I don’t think I know any friends, family, colleagues, or even acquaintances that are so meaningless and inconsequential. When you’re gone, nobody will remember you for anything of consequence. Your direct bloodline dies with Megan. Your branch of your name died with Alex. Hell, they’ll probably tear down the home you called the “sweet spot” but are now too ashamed to admit you live in. Nothingness. That’s you.

Dude, not even a plausible scenario.
Why was anyone from this forum looking for a manual transmission Subaru with an HRC sticker parked on a gravel driveway in front of a carport next to two red Honda Pilots?

Dumb move. Really dumb move.

When daddy gets his riding crop out, I know what time it is. It's time for me to be spanked. I know the position. I know what daddy like to look at, too.

Hitting rock bottom is when you aren’t emotionally prepared to accept the consequences of your stupidity and say AutoTrader posted your name and address.
Hitting rock bottom is seeing a photo of the house you live in and deny you live there.
Hitting rock bottom is seeing a photo of yourself and then deny it’s you.
Only one person here has fallen that far down.

You’ve been set straight a dozen times or more, but — weak, weak, weak — it just doesn’t stick.

Oh daddy loves his chunky girl
He beats her every night
He strips her down
And whips her good
And all without a fight
He beats her every night
He strips her down
And whips her good
And all without a fight

You’ve been informed more than enough times that nobody believes your implausible and preposterous lies. You stupidly revealed too much personal information.
Each time you deny you live on McHenry, you only confirm your own inferiority.
Let’s recall that Megan confirmed you still live on McHenry. She was very specific about it. Any attempts to source the email will only lead to an unregistered device logged into the Wi-Fi at Founding Farmers.

Greg has been seen getting "faced" in the men's room.
He may have witnessed the 'send'!
Greg is a loser.

As daddy whacks my big fat ass
He's grinnin' ear-to-ear.
He knows that when
The time is right,
He'll shoot upon my rear

When daddy's done a-beatin'
We head on back upstairs.
My juicy ass
Is red and sore,
But daddy he don't care.
