I’m really hoping this is sarcasm.

I’m guessing “strange people” is the uber-polite Japanese way of saying “trolls”.
I still write fanfiction regularly and it is very much still a thing. Or at least I still do it. You never know when someone decides to get snippy and start raiding fanworks.
For every good fanfic writer out there, there are a hundred with no talent and no taste who just want to make their favorite characters bone.
I never got to play Pokemon GO, so I have no legitimate opinion on that. I will say, however, that the franchise is long overdue for a massive rethink on it’s fundamental gameplay mechanics. Z-Moves and Mega Evos are fun add ons, but that doesn’t change the fact that fans have basically been playing the same game for…
Wealth is wasted on someone who just wants to be a big fish in a small pond.
I just want to be able to live in a modest apartment in a city of my own choosing, and still be able to eat.
That, and many Millennial are only just starting to have children. Boomers and Gen Xers have long since been parents and grandparents, so their perception of how much things costs would be skewed much higher.
I guess my version of wealth would qualify as “(financially) stress-free”.
We were so poor growing up, I would refer to my classmates whose families had a house and a car as “rich”. I meant it, too.
Broad City and Girls.
Apparently, my mother once almost choked to death when I was little. It was a piece of caramel that somehow became fused to something inside her throat and suddenly wouldn’t budge. Thankfully, she also had a cup of hot tea on hand and was able to breathe just enough to give her time to melt it.
Not having a gag reflex is a double-edged sword in this arena. On the one hand, you choke easier (I do it at least once every couple months) because your throat is stupid and doesn’t close properly; but on the other hand, getting shit OUT of your throat is usually just as easy.
I have music-color association. I also have music-smell, which is currently my strongest one since I can project that one (songs physically have a smell to me).
This is a type of recognized syn. It is now believed that people who claimed to see auras most likely had this type of synaesthesia.
Inanimate object personification is also a type of syn!
It has to be involuntary to count. It should be an automatic association, even if it doesn’t make a lick of sense - the moment you have to think about it, it stops being synaesthesia.
There are two types of synaesthesia - “association”, the kind described here; and “projection”, the kind where you do physically see things.
I’m a lady, and Japan is the only country whose mainstream porn I watch. I have a few itches that, for whatever reason, only they scratch. It’s not even that strange of a kink - I’ve met more than a few other people who have similar interests. It’s just that, for whatever reason, American porn won’t even consider…
That sounds like podophobia, which is not a hang-up most people have.
