The whole anti-medicine thing is really confusing to me. It is proven to work, and doctors by and large kinda want you to get better. I know a few people here in the UK who "don't trust doctors" but will still go to them for health issues before resorting to snorting grapefruit or some shit. I mean, they are…

Ah, the delightful smell of glue and urine.

There are a lot of shitheads on the relationships subreddit, as well as a lot of good people who just need some help to get out of a bad situation. I am happy to see that this dude is clearly one of the former, and I'm sure he was torn a new arsehole for his stupidity before deleting his post. The real jerks always…

It wasn't a prom because I'm Scottish, it was just called a dance. But anyway. I went with the biggest stoner in school, who spent the night getting very drunk (to be fair, so did I, but I handled it better). The only dance move he knew was the one from Pulp Fiction. Then we went to an after party, had one awkward…

I think that's r/feminism, which is overrun with the dodgy fedora types.

All I pictured when I read this.

Well, someone had a death wish.

Come join! The more chunk stories, the better!

There is a strong trans* element in TwoX, it's just named that as shorthand so people know it's for ladies. Every Image Fest Friday lots of lovely trans* ladies post pics of their transitions and there is a lot of open chat about trans* issues. I remember one particularly heartwarming day when a trans* woman posted…

It has been rather hilarious so far. I've just been watching it unfold.

When I was on the cigarettes my doctor had to say something about getting me to quit every time I visited, even for unrelated stuff. It was some kind of NHS mandate thingy and they actually had to tick a box on the computer saying they'd told me. In the end they all start going "do you smoke? Yes? Can I tick the box…

This article is breaking my heart. Just... fuck. Part of my rage is because they're trying to mess with and privatise parts of the NHS over here in the UK. This is why there will be riots in the streets if they do.

Hell yes. We have the NHS, so you can pester the doctor all you like here for free. It still took five bloody years for me to get proper treatment and diagnosis for interstitial cystitis because I kept being dismissed as having a UTI, or told it was all in my pretty little head. Before that, I had trouble coming off…

My mum was like you, and we have the NHS! She would stagger about with all kinds of ailments when we were young, couldn't get her to the doctor for love nor money, and she tried to take out the bin and do housework after a foot operation more than once. (She had two operations, each on different feet, and could easily…

Love Bette Midler. Think Roseanne's lost her marbles though.

Re the buffets that charge for waste, it's standard practice for Chinese buffet restaurants here in the UK to have signs up asking that people think before taking more than they can eat, as it's a waste of food and the resources needed to prepare it. There isn't a huge amount of waste as people tend to go for the "eat…

That is so shit. What a lot of trouble to go through! If you can't afford $2.50 for a drink, maybe don't eat out...

Lenora Critchlow is in A to Z? Then I'm watching it. I would watch her in anything, I <3 her.

The "make your own lemonade" thing is new to me. I waitressed in various places for almost ten years and the cheapest behaviour I saw was older women ordering one tea with two cups and some extra hot water so they could basically split a teabag. Stingy as hell, but trying to make your own lemonade from lemons and…
