    How did you choose your username?

    If anyone can figure out where I got my username I'll be impressed. I'll be less impressed if you use Wikipedia. I wholeheartedly support that. You had me at tacos, you lost me at CoD. I think it's awesome that you took it back and disempowered it!

    What are you wearing?

    Be honest, how many of you masturbated while reading this thread?

    Poll: Ads On The Internet = What???

    I have an active filter in my mind that automatically blocks any ads from getting to me. Brrr.... ads.

    Why did you join the forums?

    Had an embarrassing question to ask so went to somewhere frequented by other weird people. Stuck around :p

    What are you wearing?

    Right now just my underpants and a Uni Grenoble hoodie several sizes too big. 20 minutes ago I was wearing a black tank top, bra, black leather jacket, leather wrist bands, green and black tartan skirt, black tights, underwear and black and white high tops. Since you really wanted to know.

    Poll: Do You Sometimes Translate Things To Your Native Language (To Yourself)?

    I speak 5 languages fluently and a few others at various levels so sometimes I think it's really funny to sing a pop or rap song in a language in which it would sound terrible. "Big Booty Bitches" is pretty silly in English, sillier in Hebrew.

    Being an Adult Sucks

    I was given between 4 months and 2 years to live when I was 15. I'm now 27 so I'm still getting used to the novelty of all the still being alive and stuff :) I love being an adult. I make all my own decisions and do what I want. I couldn't possibly go back to being dependent on another person.

    You, other people and your room

    Nobody comes into my room without knocking. I would get totally pissed otherwise. Even when staying with my parents they know to knock.

    So. Torture.

    Not a chance. Even if all the conditions of this hypothetical scenario were in place there would still be so many variables we could not account for eg. backlash, setting a precedent, affecting the culture of the organisation in which it's performed... It just wouldn't be worth it...

    Poll: It's The Season...For Hair Lice...

    I think I'm traumatised from getting lice as a child. I got them again when I was in the army. Uuuuuugggghhhhh... I'm going to take a shower forever.

    Poll: Privilege

    This is so true and I'm so glad you made this point. The function of the "privilege" concept is for people who were born with some advantageous characteristics completely out of their control to recognise and be sensitive to the disadvantage of others. Nowadays I hate the term and what it...

    Poll: Do you agree with the criminalisation of drug use?

    I wish most people would realise that. It's hard enough trying to be a pro-decriminalisation advocate without loud stoners shouting "WEED CURES CANCER, MAN!!!"

    Poll: Do you agree with the criminalisation of drug use?

    No, diamorphine is just heroin. I mean unrefined opium with less abuse potential. Diamorphine would also be legal under this proposal but there would be strong systems in place that would favour opium over diamorphine for obvious reasons. Actually adulterants would be a huge problem if...

    Poll: Do you agree with the criminalisation of drug use?

    A perfectly valid argument. Had you read my previous comments you would see that there's more to it than that. I would like to see addiction treated as a medical issue because that helps people, whereas putting them in jail perpetuates the problem. I'm a police detective and I've heard countless...
