I’m American. Speaking about geopolitics at a five-year-old’s level is often far too advanced for many people. Sock puppets might help actually.

I didn’t think your original points seemed controversial enough to even be hills, but this ONE! This right here… I don’t even have a clue what it is.

“It is composed of letters taken from the names of all our homelands, Indian and Asian, Panjab, Afghania, Kashmir, Sindh, and Baluchistan.”

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcaniconiosis is English, but it is a medical word. The roots of it are Greek and Latin, like much of English. Are you aware of the etymology of antidisestablishmentarianism?

In English, I understand it to be pneumonoultramicropicsilicovolcaniconiosis, although I may have misspelled it from memory. It’s a medical condition resulting from inhaling fine particles of silica.

Dad told me when I was young to “learn to drink your coffee black and cold and you’ll never be disappointed.”

I don’t think he was just talking about coffee.

Emphatically no. I cut people concerned with jealousy out of my life. That shit’s toxic.

I’m over 30 and see true wealth as a measure of the love I give and receive. You can’t buy that.

Stopped biting my nails after about 35 years of tearing them to the quick. It wasn’t my first attempt, but when I successfully stopped, it was cold turkey. It’s been over four years now. I buy a new nail tool periodically to keep them looking good. I’m proud of them despite how trivial. The novelty of tapping on things and peeling stickers hasn’t worn off.

You’re right, my word choice makes it seem like I was saying fungi and humans are genetically related. Thanks for clarifying.

I was thinking, “he is a real mycologist,” before I figured out to whom you were referring.

There’s a Paul Stamets video where he talks about how mushrooms are so closely related to humans that we both fight off similar pathogens and that is why they are so useful to us for medicine (penicillin for example.)

Shemomedjamo - Georgian word meaning to eat past the point of fullness because it tastes so good or as I heard it, “I accidentally ate the whole thing.”

I’ve tried so many things throughout my life. Getting yourself to stop is going to be a personal thing. The last thing I tried that succeeded was taking a job out of town where I worked 12-16 hour days. It was manual skilled labor. I was working with my hands, they were often dirty, and frankly, there wasn’t much downtime to find myself chewing my nails. This attempt to stop just happened to finally work for me. It’s been almost four years. Keep at it, you can do it!

Biting my nails.

I started at about two years old and chewed them to the quick for over 35 years.
