    World cultures interests

    I find the the broad and controversial differences about what is and isn't socially acceptable in different cultures both fascinating and frightening. In Canada, for example, we don't have signs in buses reminding people to not show affection in public, not even holding hands. In Japan, you're...

    Getting old, and liking it

    I'm 51 now, and I know I'm going to die in a couple of years or so. If the world is still around by then.

    Do you agree that Technology is going too far?

    The amount of AI slop these days is infuriating and very worrying. I see it on YouTube all the time now in clickbaity thumbnails.

    Islam and Narcissism

    At the risk of getting myself banned from this site, I feel that many religious people are extremely narcissistic no mater what religion they have, and see others who are secular as being inferior. I wish the human race would just smarten up and stop hating and fighting and having wars in the...

    People/Characters Similar to You

    Ariel from The Little Mermaid because she wasn't interested in her own world, collects many things based off of her interests in a different world, and tends to spend time around animals instead of her own kind. Of course, physically I more relate to Ursula. And Lilo, because other kids think...

    Can someone recommend a good tea for a child with ADHD?

    Never heard of a 5 year old drinking and liking tea. And most "medicinal" teas are quack doctor cures or only have a mild effect on temporary symptoms.

    Forgetting to eat or drink

    If I did forget to eat, I might not be so overweight. My weight has been a problem my whole life. I did lose a lot of weight when I was in my late 20s by exercising a lot, but then I was full of anxiety that I would gain it back and started doing things that could have harmed my body. And it did...

    Is there always a tendency towards math or other pronounced interests in people with autism?

    I have dyscalculia, so I really hate the stereotype that autistic people are all good at math. I had to get special help with math when I was in school. When I was in grade 3 I used to cry almost every day because I couldn't understand fractions and division or remember all the times tables from...

    Is it mainly a boy thing?

    I think I was the opposite where I'd have meltdowns and anxiety attacks at school but at home I felt safe and allowed to be myself. For the most part, anyway. My brother wouldn't stop invading my privacy and my mom didn't think a teen girl should be so interested in collecting stuffed animals...

    How can I stay positive on a hot day?

    Beats me. It's hard to stay positive about anything the way the world is now.

    What are your favorite US airlines?

    Why do so many Americans automatically assume everyone else online is also American, or that they are exactly the same as Americans? They say things such as "(Name of website) is American and the majority of people on it are American. So non-Americans must not exist, then./s Anyway, I'm...

    Potato poll.

    I like potatoes or at least tolerate them as long as they are not mashed. I have never liked mashed potatoes, they are often too lumpy and stick in my throat Although I do like pierogi, which normally have a mashed potato and cheese mixture filling that is smooth and very comforting. Years ago I...

    Geek or nerd?

    The geek and the nerd in the video are both male, both wear glasses, and both have insufferable personalities. I guess one out of three isn't bad for me.

    My Comics

    Here's a comic strip I made about a character called "Sick Chick", a thirtysomething single woman trying to keep her sanity in a world that's gone very insane.
