(Part 2) Top products from r/DoesAnybodyElse

ha, back in high school we had the sensors on the books like public libraries, and my friends thought it would be hilarious to fuck with me. they slipped this book into my backpack when i wasn't looking, and watched from outside as the hilarity ensued when the librarian made me empty my backpack after i set off the alarms. the sight and sound of them laughing outside the library was enough to convince her that it was a joke, thankfully.

It was titled Boy. I read it to my son when he was about 10. We both loved it. The story about him being the seat warmer for the outhouse was the best.

Yes. The book S. is made to smell like an older library book, too, so that was fun. Brand new book, old school smell.

Most people use that strategy, even the people you're judging probably use that strategy most of the time. I'm not really sure of the relevance of this counter point. Are you suggesting there is no benefit to the "hope light turns green" strategy?

You seem to be suggesting that you do not laugh when they make a green light, even though the decision remains the same. (Your "laugh" is obviously a reference to the person, not the circumstances)

Btw I recommend this book. Maybe it can help shed your attitude a bit (sorry about the high horse and all, the ground's all dirty).

READ THIS BOOK, "Toxic Parents." I wasn't one for self-help books but holy shit is this a great read. Each chapter I would read, I would say, "holy shit, my Mom/Dad/in-laws are just like that!" It will help you recognize the controlling, toxic patterns and see your parents for who they are: deeply damaged, toxic people, who manipulate, control, deprive, emotionally blackmail, etc. It's a GREAT antidote to getting toxic static out of your life. I'm not exaggerating when I say that this book saved my marriage and my life. It's absolutely empowering and ridiculously informative. Let the healing begin, and good luck.

edit: this one is great, as well.

Homosexuality is documented in other animals as well. So yes, it is
> normal like today's society is trying to make it seem

Why are we any different?

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck by Mark Manson may have some helpful insight for you. I recently finished this book and have been recommending to all of my friends. The first chapter is kind of obnoxious, the rest of the book is pure gold in regards to gaining perspective on managing the things that are truly important in your life.

It's not suffering, it's evolving. Language is and always has been dynamic.

Check out the opening to this book. Steven Pinker: The Sense of Style

As much as I liked Rikki Tikki Tavi, every time I hear 'Rikki Tikki', Im reminded of a character called 'Tikki Tikki Tembo No-Sa-Rembo Chari-Barri-Ruchi Pip-Perry-Pembo' in the book Tikki Tikki Tembo
Plenty of instances where Rikki Tikki Tavi and the Jungle Book has come up, but I have thought about Tikki Tikki Tembo since kindergarten.

I remember reading a section in Carl Sagen's book The Demon Haunted World where he described it as a natural brain glitch that people often mistake as supernatural

The illustrations in those Scary Story Series were scary shit...

Read a book by Guy Greive called; Call of the wild, Other than being a generally good read, it lifts the veil slightly into what the life is like for someone who has depended on modern society.

Unfortunately, the guy is a bit of a dick in real life, his trip spawned a TV career on his return and he also abandoned his wife and children to go off and complete his dream of living alone. Read the book and then never research into his other works.

Won't cure you, but will at least help you understand what the thought are all about, why you can't help them, and why you're free to ignore them. Screw shame: It's a completely useless emotion.

Only because modern weaponry would allow me to keep a stand-off distance from all those scary swords and other sharp and blunt things. But then I can't help but picture all the ammo that came with me running out - and having to come to the realization that swords don't run out of ammo... painfully.

Also, OP, read Guns of the South by Harry Turtledove. Its right up your ally. Here it is on Amazon: Amazon: Guns of the South

Neil Gaiman said it best in the following excerpt from Neverwhere:

"To say that Richard Mayhew was not very good at heights would be perfectly accurate, but it would fail to give the full picture. Richard hated clifftops, and high buildings: somewhere not far inside him was the fear-the stark, utter, silently screaming terror-that if he got too close to the edge, then something would take over and he would find himself walking to the edge of a clifftop and stepping off into space. It was as if he could not entirely trust himself, and that scared Richard more than the simple fear of falling ever could. So he called it vertigo, and hated it and himself, and kept away from high places."
