  • That would be comparable with asking someone who smokes weed a couple of times a year to quit cold turkey.

    Of course it’s not going to make any difference to you if you stop taking sugar or not.

    However ask someone who “needs” to have that redbull every day. Who drinks sugary lattes, eats sweetened bread and so on.

    Ask them to quit and they will most likely experience withdrawal symptoms and have a really hard time to keep away from sugar.






  • Entomophobia, arachnophobia and ostraconophobia.

    So bugs, spiders and seabugs.

    The seafood with shells is the worst one but it has gotten better. I didn’t even know I had it since I haven’t really been exposed to seafood with the shells on until I was at a dinner party and they came out with shrimp cocktails with unshelled shrimp hanging off the sides. I got so anxious and sick at the sight of it I had to excuse myself to go to the bathroom and throw up. Now I can almost manage to sit next to someone who has unshelled shrimps. But lobsters and such served in the shell with legs and shit makes me sick.

    However.

    My phobia is a bit special because since I’ve had seafood without the shells before I saw them with the shells it doesn’t really affect my diet.

    One question that I have though is where does it end? The word blacklist from an etymology standpoint has got bothing to do with race. So where do we disregard the historical context of the meaning of words because people take it out of context and it makes them feel uneasy?

    I am not saying that I am against using blocklist instead of blacklist. I am just asking. Where does the history anfd usage behind the term supercede the out of context hurt feelings?











  • This guy though was completely personality-less

    I don’t usually set the bar high either.

    But if you ask me what my favourite interests are and I tell you that I like reading Fantasy books and baking and spending time with friends and PC gaming and you have no idea what any of those are. And then I ask you back.

    You can’t tell me “Some times I go out and have ONE beer with my friends. Can you drink more than one beer? Eh. We usually meet up for one hour once per month. What I do the rest of the time? Eh. Nothing? I watch youtube before I go to bed? Channels? What type? Ehhh… Anything else that is happening in my life? WELL, I AM going to go study medicine in Poland 😎. When I’m going? I’m not really sure. Well I am waiting for the reply back from them. I am enrolled yes! What letter? The confirmation letter. No I haven’t heard back from them yet. How I know I’m enrolled? Well I did send them my submission letter so I am definitely enrolled. How I know if I haven’t gotten confirmation? Eh. Well. I sent them a submission letter ofc.”

    That’s when I looked at my watch and said “Ooh time sure does fly fast! I need to hurry if I’m to catch the bus. Thank you for your time. Goodluck with your submission. Bye.”
