Gee man you sure got a point there, but there's a bit of a double standard here, don't you think? If someone here posted a thread "Ask me about my roommate who's confined to a wheelchair and the awesome jokes I make behind his back" or "Ask me about living with a black person who's totally inferior to me and I remind them of it every day" they'd get torn to shreds. So why should a mental disability, of which a person may have no control over, which they may have been born with, be the subject of light-hearted comedy?

Holy poo poo, you're right, this behavior, which displays all the signs of mental illness, is loving hilarious, because it's not mental illness, because if it was, it wouldn't be so loving hilarious!!!

I don't think this is the right thread for you.

I'm pretty grateful that I didn't stick around with my own Denise to have enough stories for an Ask/Tell thread, but the high(low)lights were:

Putting on makeup to fake a black eye and claiming she was attacked by random thugs in an alleyway
Breaking her own glasses so she could pretend to be clutzy by dropping stuff 2ft away from the table she "meant" to set them on
Making a small cut in her hand so she could cough a lot and pretend to be coughing up blood
Wrapping her arm in bandages and claiming that she got gangrene from all the times she cut herself
Pretending that the aforementioned gangrene had gone inside of her and infected her internal organs, leaving her only 3 months to live
Calling me about a year after she was supposed to be dead pretending to have amnesia and wondering who this person on her phone contacts was (and me promptly changing my number within the week)

On the plus side, it did teach me a lot of lessons on how to spot The Crazy and avoid them in future.

While the evidence for the benefits of alternative medicine are sketchy at best, not all forms of it are as dumb as homeopathy and it would be possible to have a legit degree in it that required actual work and knowledge.

For the things that work, at what point are they no longer "alternative medicine" and become, simply, "medicine"?

To be fair pretty much every entry-level Japanese class has someone similar in it. Luckily, if you stick with it, those guys get weeded out by like second year max, in my experience. The upper levels still have unusual people in it, but no one quite so uniquely horrible and socially inept, because I think to get to that point you actually have to finally put in at least a modicum of effort.

Oddly enough, almost all of my step 1 Japanese class were the normal cool people, then by step 2 we merged with another step 1 class and there were more anime fans than before.

Also, I was chatting with Parrier today. He is thinking of taking Japanese at the same university I'm going to. Not sure if you remember me mentioning that I had trouble with the pace the classes are at, but one can only imagine how Parrier will handle them.

And he's in charge of something at the local convention this year. God help us all.

You have to enroll in the same class, or at least get stories from someone else who has!

Also this reinterperation of the Bible gets funnier when you remember Jesus was a thirty three year old virgin.

Would his idea of showing love to everyone be analogous to the nerd circle's "hugbox" environment of never being able to openly tell anyone that they're stupid?

Have you ever had a "Jesus glomp", Do you know what one feels like? If you've never had a "Jesus glomp", I pray one day you might.

He came up to where I was painting a bunch of giant sun-shaped props yellow and asked my name, and I said it's Corridor, and he went, "Ah! Corridor of the golden suns!" in an almost reverential way before wandering off.

Obviously it wasn't actually "Corridor", but "The corridor of the golden suns" sounds like a very poetic phrase.

Jury's still out on Ren.

Is Ren the right age to have Ren and Stimpy jokes made at his expense throughout his entire childhood?

On that note actually, personally I always prefer each story to be its own post purely because if I don't have time to read an entire massive post, I can just set my last read post to however far I've gotten and won't accidentally miss stuff.

Though seeing as I've been fortunate enough for the crazies in my life to not be anywhere near as bad as you guys, I really shouldn't be dictating how you post!

Not to sperg up this thread (and i could be wrong, I am not a mortician) but I don't think (again as far as i know...) popping boners posthumously is a thing that happens. Usually if somebody dies they die laying down, the blood pools in the back. When rigor mortis sets in, muscles stiffen, and while there are muscles at the base of the penis there aren't any in the actual organ. Leaving it floppy, floppy, floppy.

Also heres a gross thought: since vampires have no circulation and are standing they should be walking around with huge blood swollen feet.

Sexy.

I think the difference between a football shirt and cosplay is that you aren't wearing the helmet and pads. Anime/video game/comic book shirts are just as acceptable as football shirts are.

For "soccer" football, it's far from unheard of to see people in the full shorts and tall socks get-up.

I temporarily quit weed for a few weeks and have been off my medication for a while, and it's definitely easier living medication free now than it was back at my parents' house, but I still have major issues handling any stress, anxiety, or loneliness when I'm sober, which is why I went back on weed, but it never got so bad that I wanted to try killing myself, so major improvements there I guess.

If you don't mind me asking, why are you deciding to go for weed over prescribed medication to help with your condition?
