I'm really sorry for your loss. Few people seem to understand how much a "simple animal" can be so valuable and loved. I've never lost a pet I loved so much, but I have experiences with people who have. My mother had cats when she was young and the last one was put down when I was about a...

Thank you very much for your comment, I'm having a bad day (in addition to the usual) and this really cheered me up :) I see a therapist regularly, it really does help but I've been wondering if I shouldn't see if I can get more frequent meetings. Just having someone to talk to without worry...

I really really want to play Sunset Overdrive. I really really don't want to just sit around and wait to see if it comes out for PC or not, and either way I think it's the kind of game that might actually be better for consoles. But I don't feel that it is sensible to buy a console for just...

Thanks for the tips guys :) Boyfriend moving here isn't bad, but the nagging "what if..?" questions are. He doesn't know the language, doesn't have any friends here, neither he nor I are feeling too well, mind-wise, and I am mainly just scared of screwing things up for one or both of us...

I have my personal stance that the job of a comedian is to make people laugh. If people don't laugh the comedian failed and it's on them to make up for it. As such, the one making the joke needs to tell the right joke, at the right time, to the right audience. Easier said than done, to be sure...

Ok, I'm currently studying to become a programmer at a very intense, prestigious school. As part of my education I need to get a internship at a company so I can learn the trade from professionals. I'm also dealing with having my boyfriend quitting his job to move here, as in leaving his...

Not sure if it's the full quote or an addition but I think the phrase is "To err is human, to forgive is divine, to persist in error is diabolical". In other words, yeah humans make mistakes, but it's not a good quality to keep making mistakes. Especially not if it's the same mistakes over...

Depends entierly on how you approach it I'd say. It's not as bad as many people would say, but it's not harmless either. Some anecdotal "evidence" on how it's bad. My friends brother took his recreational pot smoking and made it into addiction. Within two years my friend noticed a...

Cat. But I have a dog. Damn allergies... Both are awesome in their own way but I like cats because they are so darn... honest. When my dog looks at me while I'm eating I can tell her she's not getting any and she'll get the...

My personal favourite is Midna. Because Midna. I really loved her in Twilight Princess x) Then again, I find many characters to be fun to play. Link with Gauntlets was suprisingly fun to play and Ganondorf is just badass with his combos. As for characters I'd like to see added... Midnas...

I echo the things people have said so far. I like the fact that the cartoons remain intact but still recognice that it's a product of a different era. I never liked how entire scenes where cut out of shows because of one little thing, but I also don't like it when people come across as "it's ok...

Well I came out to my boyfriend about my kink some time ago. I think he was a bit confused, but mostly just curious (told him over chat so I couldn't read his reaction). Was harder than I thought it was to say it and I suspect I got accepted easily because it's something that will never happen...

Oh it's not always easy. Dad started doing it after making a very so-bad-it's-good pun about the product being sold. Sometimes he makes obvious jokes or movie quotes where it fits. Of course, there's a small amount of luck needed too. After hearing "go to hell" followed by a slam 200 times...

My favourite way is my dad's method, wich is making them laugh. He once made a woman laugh so hard she lost her train of thought, apologised and hung up, still laughing. Since it's a job, and not one I belive anyone would have as their first choice, it's kinda nice to decline their offers in a...

One piece of advice I can give that helped me and pretty much every other aspie I've met: Do a little at a time. Never do two big things at once. Start with, say, the theraphy. Work out as much as you can there. Work out how you think, how others think, how you can deal with how others think...
