I have tourette’s without the obscenities, people still made fun of me. Imitated my physical tics when I talked to them, stuff like that.

Only about 10% of people with tourette’s say inappropriate words. Most just make sounds. If you don’t make any sounds and only have physical tics it’s called tic-disorder.

I have both! Lucky me!

I had severe OCD from six until recently. It’s horrible. Not being taken seriously makes it even harder. The sweater is not the worst thing ever, but it’s part of a bigger issue: Not taking mental illness seriously. And that’s something that kills people.

I hope you’re vegan.

I can’t have caffeine and I can’t have cocoa! No chocolate for me. My life sucks! What fun can I even have??

Apparently I’m now the age where I find guys over 40 hot.

I mean, I get it, but there are kids with autism and other neurological/psychological issues that have a really hard time eating things they are not used to. I’d literally start gagging when I had to eat new things as a child and I couldn’t help it. My mum just gave up at one point.

She’s too cool for this though.

But is it normal to start crying while having sex?

I can’t entirely agree. French and German bread is awesome. So is Italian pasta. And there are some good soups in Europe.

It’s just that I’m a big baby, so tolerating spicy food is one of the only things that make me feel tough. I’m sorry.

A friend of mine has Celiac’s and she can’t use makeup that has gluten in it, so it’s not just about food!

Really interesting, thank you!

Only slightly related, but why are almost all nail salons owned by Asians? Where is the connection?

It’s because it makes people believe they could achieve this shade of blonde when colouring their red (or whatever) hair when they can't.

You realize certain faces look better with shorter hair? And you realize that some hair basically looks like a fucking triangle if you cut it at one length??

Why does it have to be one length? And why does it need to be below the shoulders?

If I was at a Baseball game I’d be glued to my phone too. To not die from boredom. Sometimes you don’t want to connect to the world around you. Doesn’t mean you can’t.

I could imagine some refugees who survived and got to Europe chanting “Allahu ackbar” because they’re happy about it and basically thank god for surviving. I don’t see how that would make anyone a terrorist.
