    So, what was the last thing that made you die a bit inside?

    Yesterday I was watching The Voice UK. Two 16 year old contestants were told they had to perform "This Is The Last Time" by Keane. The shortest one said "I dunno what that one is. But I like Keane." I thought "Seriously? It's one of their more well-known tracks and you don't know it? That's...

    An Asexual living in a sexual world.

    By that logic, you want to have sex with a dog. You just had a bad past experience with a dog that made you associate it with something bad. Because it's somehow not possible that you just ain't into poking dogs. Also, modern day teens didn't come up with asexuality. It's existed throughout...

    An Asexual living in a sexual world.

    It actually makes more sense that asexuality is beneficial to humanity rather than detrimental. Think about it. Wars have been fought because of sexual desire. Killer diseases have been spread. People die and are killed because of it all the time. But also, the Earth is lousy with unplanned...

    An Asexual living in a sexual world.

    Same goes for me, too as an androromanic ace transmasculine non-binary person. Folks just seem so obsessed all the time and it makes me just wanna grab them by the shoulders and shake them, screaming "I DON'T CARE!" as loud as I can. It also disturbs me the faces that manifest when you bring...

    Why is the Main Character in Fallout 4 Voiced?

    It annoys me a lot that the only SPECIAL attribute important to conversations is charisma. In the previous games there were dialogue options for people with high medicine, explosive, strength, barter and even whole dialogue options for whole perks (like child at heart). My problem with Fallout...

    A little moral quandary for you all...

    ^ I am both on the autism and trans spectrum (I identify as non-binary) I have a perspective unlike everyone else I know. Everybody has a different perspective and identity. There is no one standard of a "person". What would they use as a basis for the brain-rewiring treatment to re-organise...

    Horrible fan-art and -fiction appreciation thread!

    My hedgehog pics were mostly pretty decent This is the worst I could find (although there was this one of a veggie tales character dressed as Sonic but since i never saw the show it doesn't ruin anything for me): So I ended up looking up my future brother in law's name as well: ...

    Stretching your ears? Attractive or not?

    I dunno, it depends. My sister had them but TBH she never used them to their full potential. I was born cursed with attached earlobes and I think that stretching them may look better. But I haven't had my ears pierced since I was 10 and they ballooned up with pus. I have terrible luck...

    Fun ways to screw with Telephone sales people

    Somebody tried that with my uncle (my dad,s sister's husband) shortly after his dad died. He told them on the phone about it and they left him well alone. Apparently he says it every time now.

    Stupid questions about yourself people always ask you.

    I keep getting asked if I moved to England because of College or University. If I could get it free in my home country of Scotland (and everyone in the UK knows it), why would I move to the North for higher education instead of Oxford, London or Cambridge?

    Asexuality

    I think I'm somewhere on the asexual scale but I'm not fully sure. I've had health problems that are supposed to stifle libido and was sexually abused and bullied heavily in my tweens and early teens which would put most people off the idea. However, I have always had a lack of interest in...

    Plots That Made You Say, "No, Just Stop!"

    Most plots about "Prophecies" and "The One" because it's basically spoilers at the beginning of the movie as to how it's going to end. Old guy in movie: You will lead us to glorious victory against the dark forces of evil! Me: Well, now we know how it's going to end... Give them back the...

    Aversion to Children

    It depends on the child. Adults say "Why would you hate children?" because they think theirs are so damn amazing because they're "theirs". Forgetting what they themselves think about other people's kids. Children are individuals first but they're just trying to figure out who they're supposed to...

    Tinned beans or tinned spaghetti?

    My parents hardly every buy tinned spaghetti and always buy budget tinned beans. Probably one of the reasons why I prefer tinned spaghetti more! Lol. That and you can get tinned spaghetti bolognaise int he same size tin and I think that it tastes better, is more nutritious and filling than just...

    This woman is NOT the brightest bulb in the box

    The tragedy about this is that in the UK beauticians get paid more than people who do much harder, riskier and/or more important jobs requiring more training like nurses and vets.
