    Yeah, I swear this is being posted so often it’s becoming something I’m starting to ignore (kind of becoming the boy who cried wolf) It feels like the more recent versions of these…

    Whoa, never heard this view. I guess it makes sense to question it if you’ve never had it happen. As a former alcoholic, I can tell you it’s definitely real, although I guess maybe…

    Must be a great feeling to have Chris Hadfield, himself, tell you he’s happy to hear the good news. Hell, I feel humbled by proxy just because I saw his tweet!

    1st incident is understandable if you look at in a different light. I have 5 sisters and I’ve heard this often enough that it’s become a reflex of mine to pretend to be a stranger’…

    The first situation was something that was a tough call of whether or not to intervene, and she was upset she didn’t. Understandable. Second was silly... A female staff member, doe…

    I’m sorry you had to see such an awful comment. I’ve been in your situation, and it will get better. Even if it doesn’t feel like it will. Some solid actionable items have been sug…

    There’s a theme here. Everyone sees your comment as an attack, or at best in very poor taste, but you. Your replies have only cemented that view. Sounds like OP isn’t the only one …

    I have big scar on my thumb and it still works great for me. What do you find is most problematic about it for you?

    Ditto. My brother uses some of our stories in his stand-up act sometimes: Mom: “Unplug the phone! The government is listening to our conversations!” Brother: “Mom... of course they…

    Not OP, but this isn’t always true. Might be true for slow brewing depression, but not for biologically triggered mental changes (triggered by some diseases, some drugs, etc). Ther…
