| If being full of disbelief if not outright anger for a antivaxxer quack doctor who honestly believes in this homeopathy nonsense means I don't have an open mind, then I guess I'm guilty as charged. The problem with having an "open mind" is that it tends to let in bugs of the biting and sti... |

| I'm really not that into trinkets. But I do have lots of different rhinestones for making crafts and stuff. Sometimes I put jewelry on dolls or stuffed animals. |

| Today I left a comment on YouTube saying how you've got to love all the transphobic moral panic happening right now, it's like when people said rock and roll is the devil's music. And then I thought, "Oh no, I'm in for it now, I had an opinion". But I don't really care. |

| There actually is a type of cannabis called "skunk" because of the smell. If people want to smoke it, they can smoke it, but I don't get how they can stand the stink. |

In junior high I used to be harassed and bullied constantly for being intensely into Garfield comics and cartoons. This lasted up into my late 20s at least. The girls were usually indifferent to my interests but the boys made my life awful. They are such idiots at that age.  |

| Trauma may be an overused word these days. But what might not be all that traumatizing to some children might be incredibly traumatizing to others. Like getting sick in front of the whole class at school. You might come back a few days later and everything will seem back to normal, and no one really... |

| I find Lindt white truffle chocolates to be excellent. All their truffle chocolates are good, but the white chocolate ones have kind of a cool feeling to them that I like. Like Icy Squares, except those are milk chocolate. |

| When I was living in a group home we had to shower or "do hygiene" every day. I understand that some of the residents would probably not keep themselves clean at all and stink up the place if the staff didn't instruct them, but it felt very demeaning to me. |
