This is partially my opinion but this is going on because very few people want to hang out with her as she is super boring and hard to talk to. She was in my house for a few days (this was way early before I started digging through all the layers of WTF) and after a point I stopped trying to engage in conversation with her as she just didn't seem to understand how to respond to casual small talk. The people who will hang out with her are "never judge anyone for anything they do all actions and opinions are valid." and/or hardcore BSDM types who think this way themselves so she's going along with this because she is seeking some sort of validation from anyone she can. Much as I'm not super normal myself the "BDSM community" around her is very two sided in that they're great for accepting everyone as they are but no one will ever go "dude that's hosed up" or do the slightest bit of judging. It's the geek social fallacies on hormones and broken brain chemcials, which doesn't help her have any moments of clarity. She frequently has people make excuses not to come see her and not try very hard to hide that fact. Typically they'll hang out with her/gently caress her once and then not really want to make an effort to do it again. Any attempts to point out to ms super brain that hey if no one really wants to actually hang out with you maybe the problem is you gets met with all sorts of deflections that it's because of how society tells people to act or obviously that person is a jerk. My favorite was the time she got super mad on facebook about some article on looking better and her response was "all they did was have everyone lose weight, being fat doesn't make you ugly!! >_<". She also argued with a doctor when he said her 240lbs was why her knee hurt; her reasoning was if it was my weight then both my legs would hurt wouldn't they?? Course this same girl said my 5'6", 190lb self was "scrawny". Any attempts on my part to explain just because I have a reasonable waist size doesn't mean I'm small/light went right over her head. Another fun moment was when she was talking about how she is definitely smarter than most people since she has an engineering brain/schooling and if everyone thought like her instead of a spacy housewife things would be a lot better. I guess she felt like she could say this to me since I have a Comp Eng degree but I just ended up

I always get weirdly annoyed when people who claim to "be" a particular animal have no idea how those animals actually behave. Moreso than the claim itself; believing that kind of thing is a bit mental, but believing it and not even doing the most cursory research is just lazy. Surely if you thought you might be a cat or a dolphin or whatever you'd find out everything you could about them, and if it didn't add up, maybe look into other possibilities. But instead people identify with incorrect clichés about animals rather than the realities of the animals themselves (hell, just look at all the alpha/beta poo poo that still gets traction when people are pretending to be wolves, when in reality most wild wolf packs are mum, dad and a bunch of children at different stages of development with contested hierarchies being relatively uncommon in typical groups). It seems weirdly disrespectful of nature to project bullshit onto animals like that Way back in the day when Livejournal was still a thing there was someone who ended up on my friends list who declared that their sudden deep desire to go and howl at the moon must be their wolf side manifesting. I made a decision then and there that if I could refute this with 30 seconds on google, that person was not someone I could be bothered to follow any more. Lo and behold, google informed me that wolf howling is independent of the moon because it is a form of communication, not some sort of romantic/melancholy self expression. It's funny that this gets to me, but I guess years as a biologist tend to stick, and intellectual slovenliness is more offensive to me than weird beliefs.

Male chinchillas can die if their thick fur becomes matted around their penis and cuts off its blood supply. Owners are advised to check on that regularly if the animal has difficulty removing hair rings himself. I almost asked myself if any human's ever had matted pubes but I just know the answer is yes and I really don't want to explore further. They're probably already within this thread.

Did a little research (a google search because I'm lazy  ) I could be wrong but this seems to be mostly horses in captivity, with it being triggered by being separated from the herd and only interacting with them for breeding. This mainly happening to stallions or horses kept in box stables. They apparently don't do this in the wild. Then again I went to just a single website to look this up, so I may be getting a biased view. Either way, it happens.

Hell if a mare thinks it's missed a stallion in her gently caress-athon her body will probably terminate the pregnancy just to be on the safe side. Maybe Todd Akin was a horse cursed to be human and his memories got a little garbled.

When I was between 10 and 13, I would have been a prime candidate for this thread. I had two best friends (who I'll call Nicole and Leila); the three of us were pretty awkward and intensely into fantasy, video games, and anime. We had a larger group of nerdy friends who we played imaginary games with at recess, complete with the "flail around and pretend to fight invisible enemies" bit. When we got to middle school, we even pretended that cute guys from video games and the like were our boyfriends. Probably our one saving grace was the fact that we knew it wasn't real and never tried to force our weird dorkiness on anyone else. The story I have to tell isn't directly about us, though; it's about Nicole's big sister, Ally. It's not as bad as a lot of the stuff in this thread, but I think it qualifies. XXX-Men The three of us were dorky kids, but we generally had the good sense to keep our interests quiet and avoid making an obnoxious scene out of ourselves in public. Ally was definitely the opposite. If you let her get you, she'd go on FOREVER about her current obsession, whether you understood what she was talking about or not. Ally loved cartoons of all kinds, Inuyasha, musicals, and gay shipping. She apparently had no shame at all in speaking loudly and directly about whatever weird thing she was into, no matter who was around. I can remember countless times when she'd start talking about something, her mother would get visibly uncomfortable and ask her to stop, but she'd carry on through regardless. She was several years older than we were, and I thought it was strange that a girl who was older and supposedly more mature was so much worse at being discreet than we were. Generally, the one thing we could all find common ground on was our love of drawing and the X-Men. I remember being in awe of her drawings of ~original characters~ for ~X-Men Evolution~. In any case, one night Leila and I were hanging out at Nicole's house like we usually did. We were happily drawing away, but we ran out of paper pretty quickly. Ally wasn't home, so Nicole suggested we go to her room and take some of her paper. (Ally, like a lot of weirdos in this thread, had a habit of saying she needed to use something, and then hoarding it and never giving it back unless you bugged her about it or got it yourself.) Nothing wrong with that idea, right? So we went into Ally's room and started going through her drawers looking for her stash of paper, when suddenly Leila went, "Well guys, I found some paper, but it's already got some....stuff on it." The stuff in question was porn. Sheets and sheets of hand-drawn X-Men Evolution porn. I was a naive kid, but it was immediately obvious even to me what was going on. Ally had drawn her self-insert character loving X-Men villains, and we had found it. I don't even think there were any genitals in the drawings, but there were enough pubes and lube and o-faces to horrify young me. The part that really made it shocking to me was how perfectly she had managed to copy the show's style. The pictures looked like they could have come from the show, if there had been a very special episode about orgies I guess. Leila freaked out, while Nicole was completely silent. She looked extremely embarrassed more than anything; I can only imagine how finding your older sibling's weird porn stash effects your view of them. We put the pictures back exactly how we had found them, and then never told anyone. We never even spoke of it to each other after that. And that's the story of how the first porn I ever saw was softcore X-Men erotica

I think I pointed this out before, but when it happens at that age it's actually a sort of developmental stage. (There's even an anime about it because evidently it's A Thing in Japan and even has a name: chūnibyō.) It's when it outlives (or develops) beyond age 13 or so that it's a more serious disorder.

Okay, it's been a bit over a year since the Martha poo poo happened and I related it to this thread so I guess I'll post the conclusion. I picked smoking back up after not quitting for very long and my therapist decided that since I clearly had found another coping mechamism than him I didn't need to see him anymore. I continued hanging out with Alice for a few months and we started having sex a few times a week but then in late November she had some kind of revelation and decided she would rather spend time with the ex she constantly poo poo-talked. Losing my best friend at the time to someone I thought she hated shook me and I made a stupid as gently caress decision and checked up on Martha. All it led to was her coming over twice and we watched cartoons and got high. I was selfish and stupid and let her blow me because I don't think very much. Then in late december she moved away to somewhere four hours away and I haven't seen her for more than thirty seconds at a time since. I met a different girl in the meantime and we've been in an official relationship for four months now with no multiple personalities or threats of any kind, just some clinginess that I ignore. I started looking for a better job and have been clean off of weed for two months with one cheat weekend. Martha did contact me in early January as one of her headmates or whatever they're called now and was kind of mad that I didn't talk her out of moving because it was so crazy. I said Martha is not my responsibility and she's as much an adult as I am. She told me that the weird guy she was living with had told her that he wanted her to have his babies. I told her that it REALLY wasn't my problem at all and to work it out for herself. She has not contacted me at all intentionally since. I have told my stories to both Alice and my current girlfriend Beth, and told Martha's brother certain portions. He told me that yeah, she's wacko and does crazy things. I also had it made known to me that my roommate, DM, and Martha were actually engaged all the way until last November. So for the entire time of my relationship to him. Also apparently her idea of polyamorous meant that only she could fool around because she contacted Alice the first night I had hooked up with her to tell her that I was Martha's and Alice was a total bitch for trying to steal me. Alice was intelligent about it and just told Martha that she had given permission for whatever and Alice felt no guilt whatsoever. I don't know any details beyond that. All-in-all, Martha is now a non-entity in my life except a story I tell people when I get drunk enough and I'm back in therapy since I'm off weed. I'm in a stable enough relationship and haven't had any crazy people encounters barring the standard ones you get from working with the public. I'd like to think I learned my lessons but won't know for sure until I have the chance to prove it. Hopefully I don't need to apply those lessons amytime soon but I'm still young.
