Does America the land of freedom ban cheese?

You can find good stuff, but supermarket cheese generally sucks. I imagine that's true for anywhere, though

How could you!?! Gregg's delicious meat pies are one of the few chain place things I would recommend in the UK. It is deliciously British.

Eeeeeew. Tbh I've never eaten there since they're not exactly ceoliac friendly but the smell is gross and everything looks greasy.

Go to a Wetherspoon's on a Saturday night. If you don't get stabbed its a perfect way to see a certain side of UK culture :v:

I get that all the time. I roll my r's, apparently, the best word as evidence is "bear" because I say with an almost American accent. I think it's either because of too much tv as a child or it's the family tendency towards autism spectrum disorders. When I say that I mean I am diagnosed with nothing but an odd personality but my cousin is full aspergin' and he has a particular way of speaking with an almost American twinge that I have also noticed in other autistic kids. I don't know if that's really a thing or just some odd confirmation bias but maybe one of the Lady Thread PhDs can study it.

edit: I guess phonetics would help, Australians would normally say Bear like "Beh" I say "Bey-hr"

As somebody who regularly posts far too much about their personal life, and is probably far too invested emotionally in these forums, this. There are people on the other side of every avatar, but it's important to realize that they can only do what you let them do.

This is excepting crazy people finding your address and poo poo, but I really hope that's like some awful extreme and doesn't really happen all that much.

A little bit of vulnerability is how we bond and build trust and make friends. I think it is a good thing to make yourself somewhat vulnerable. Sometimes people hurt you but then that's how you learn to deal with hurt and become strong.
