  • As some who has had 20+ piercings over the years and who knows people who have piercings. Generally we don’t get them because we think other people will find them attractive, we get them because we think they look good. I’m down to 4 piercings now because of things like jobs, but I do miss them.

    Everyone’s tastes are different, while I think piercings look cool. I don’t think everyone suits them. An eyebrow piercing can look awesome on one person, and awful on another.
    And some people flat out dislike them. That’s fine. So long as people aren’t shoving their opinions down people’s throats and trying to force them to change, differing opinions are a good thing. The world would be very boring if we were all the same.

    I’m the nerd with tattoos, dyed hair and piercings. A lot of people make shitty comments and I also get a lot of compliments. I don’t see the need people have to go up to and say or shout across the street a shitty comment at someone. Their choice in clothing/ piercings/ body art doesn’t affect your life. Move on. If someone thinks I look awful, that’s fine, that’s their view, I’m good with that. But outright going out of your way to voice your shitty comment to someone, that’s not cool.

    My point is, your opinion is fine. But if you then attack someone because of that opinion, that’s not okay.


  • I’ve worked retail, office jobs, call center jobs and warehouse jobs. I made an office ‘friend’ in two of those jobs. One who id grab drinks with outside of work and another who id chat to via text occasionally. But as our jobs changed and lives moved on. So did we.

    I don’t feel the need to be forced into social situations, people are tiring and there’s better things I could spend my time on that being shoved into a room with co-works who I have no interest in talking to and have no interest in talking to me.

    Both my best friends are long distance friends. I’ve known one for 13 years, we’ve met up once. And one for 9 years who I’ve never met in person. And they’re the best friends I’ve ever had. If they have issues, I’m right there via text or call to help. Same if I have issues. We send eachother gifts for birthdays/ Christmas, or just because. The 9 year friend and I do a book trade and recommend eachother things we think the other would like (not just book recommendations).

    My partner and I have been together for almost 2 years now, we live in different countries. And it’s honestly the best relationship I’ve ever had. Not because of the distance, we visit eachother multiple times a year. But the distance also isn’t an issue.

    So long distance friendships/ relationships can work.

    Just because some people need that face to face interaction, doesn’t mean everyone else does. Especially when it’s forced by a workplace. If it was to meet up with a friend, I’m sure it would be more welcomed. But being made to meet up with co-workers who aren’t friends/ close with, that sounds miserable. Being made to do something you don’t want to do/ aren’t interested in is never fun. Ever try get a teenager to clean their room? Often not very high on their list because it’s something they don’t want to do. The same can be said for social events with co-workers for a lot of people.


  • I was using odd as a catchall term, plus I was tired and couldn’t think of better phrasing. And I was using it to try and question why is it generally a common thing to label something as autism just because it isn’t a socially ‘acceptable’ response.

    Non autistic people can be just as socially inept. And not every autistic person is socially inept. So it’s just tedious seeing a lot of stuff labelled as autism, when it could be a plethora of other things.


  • Oh, okay then. Sorry for getting defensive, I just see this kind of thing a lot. And I know that people are quick to label social difficulties as autism, so it gets kinda of tiring that people generally label everything out of the ordinary as being autism.

    Question, if you don’t mind.
    Does not being able to interpret others emotions make you anxious or avoid talking to people?
    I’m oddly hypersensitive to others emotions, which can be pretty tiring in itself actually. So I’m curious how it affects someone who isn’t.

    Nowhere in your link didn’t it mention sex toys cause a rectal prolapse. So maybe link something appropriate.

    Also, people generally don’t start straight up shoving huge sex toys into their orifices. It’s built up and if it’s a problem then they stop.

    Personally, I don’t want anything that big near me. But if others want to, it their bodies, they’re free to do whatever they want.

    The air we breathe causes our cells to degrade which results in aging and death.
    Smoking is bad for you.
    Junk food.
    Alcohol.
    Drugs.
    Skydiving could kill you.
    But it’s not our place to police what people do with their own bodies. If they want to snort coke off a hookers ass, then that’s their choice.
    If someone wants a giant dick in their ass or vag, that’s also their choice. If they cause issues for their own bodies, they’re the ones making the choice knowing any risks. It does affect you, so why are you all up in people’s business that doesn’t affect you?

    Stop trying to police people’s bodies and what they do with them.



  • You assume that because I play games that I’m a young boy?
    I’m a woman in her 30s. Ive been playing games since I was 4. Ive played sega, Nintendo, playstation, Xbox and pc games. I also play d&d.
    I play a wide range of games from Pokémon, Zelda, animal crossing to doom, overwatch, diablo, the dark pictures games, Alan wake, baldurs gate, mass effect, slay the spire.
    I’m not playing due to corporate manipulation. I play because I want to play, because I enjoy engaging my brain and being able to focus on something fun. So please, continue to shit on things people enjoy instead of actually focusing on the things you enjoy.


  • I’m a die hard Nintendo fan. Been playing Nintendo since I was like 4.
    Pokémon is one of my favourite gaming series ever.
    However, I also play games that are basically Pokémon but with a different name. So long as there’s not actual copyright being broken, who cares? Pokémon is an insanely successful franchise, if other companies want to try using the idea for their games in hopes of success. Go for it! It’s fun seeing all the variants.
    I get why people hate seeing their favourite game ‘ripped off’, but if Nintendo see it as an issue, they’ll deal with it themselves. People need to chill out, I’m pretty sure Nintendo are capable of fighting their own battles. It’s not like they’re a small company of 10 people who might of not seen the game.


  • It’s not a video game. If you cast locate object, it’s not going to pop up with a map marker with the distance counting down below it as you get closer. It just located an object within that range. You don’t see the range circle, you just know the object is somewhere in range of your spell.

    You’ve been proven wrong. Official text in a source book even states the maps aren’t accurate. So take the L and stop trying to prove you’re right. You come across as a sore loser, and honestly, a bit of a dick to keep pushing when you’ve been proven wrong.


  • Me and my partner were playing overwatch, the other team had a roadhog who was tearing through us and constantly typing ‘ez’.
    So me and my partner switched characters to counter, you know, as you’re supposed to.
    Then we steamrolled that team and hog was then screeching ‘try hards!’
    Like seriously dude. Take the L and just leave quietly. Or switch character to counter us?
