The Exorcist works for me even in spite of my atheism. Ignoring the actual exorcism in it, the film is about a mother whose daughter is unwell, whose condition is truly mysterious, cannot be cured by conventional means, and is destroying the lives of both the mother and the daughter. Knowing your child is ill and not knowing how or if they'll be cured is a form of horror that resonates with many and I feel so strongly sympathetic for the characters in the film.

That man would celebrate my death if I were murdered for being trans and the world is an objectively better place without him. Rest in piss, may his followers get fucked.

They are real animals and it would have taken you a quick five second search to confirm such.

At this point it's sorta become another Rickroll, where it pops up when you least expect it. The content of the comic itself isn't what's humorous; In fact it was mocked when the original comic was released for being an unnecessary plot beat in a comedy webcomic.

Goodness, there's a lot of hardcore denial in your edit. I suffer from a similar level of "society/people expect utter perfection of myself" so I understand why your instinct is to deny the possibility of having a disability.

If your ex-wife found herself in a situation where she had to go without her meds she'd certainly struggle a lot harder than with her meds. How is that any less a disability than a PTSD victim needing antidepressants to quell their unending anxieties, or someone hard of hearing needing electronic hearing aids in order to hear better?

ADHD is objectively a disability. Medicine to make it easier to deal with doesn't make the disability stop existing. Hell, there's a number of people for whom stimulants don't work, or who need unreasonably high doses in order for it to work. The existence of medicine doesn't make their disability less disabling.

It's a lovely way to unwind after a long day. Soaking in water takes weight off your joints and bones, the heat feels nice, and I'll usually put a show on my phone to unwind with an episode before I wash up.

Some people are just naturally sensitive to shit like that. A friend of mine has a similar hyper sensitivity to THC, a fact that I am unbelievably jealous of rofl
