I had to defend myself against my own mother because she tried to choke me against my mattress for being sick with a moderate fever and refusing to go pick my little brother up from his friends. I won the fight, despite being significantly weaker due to being sick and small. She hasn't attacked me since and I hate her rotten guts.

The Rwandan Genocide. Millions of people were killed in Rwanda just because they were labeled as being part of an undesirable group. It happened in the late 1900's, and the worst part is that the UN glossed over it because the Rwandan president said that it was a civil war and some of the board on the UN at the time refused to intervene. (I think it was the US member?) Granted, there was also a war at the time, between rebels and the Rwandan military.

When I hit puberty, I realized that a lot of the things that I had been told didn't exactly line up with my basic morals at the time. I also realized I'm bisexual. That coupled with the fact that I began having sexual feelings and just not going to church for a while ultimately made me non religious. A few years after that, I also learned of the way religions, and not just Christianity, twisted their holy texts to justify atrocities, which swiftly put me over the line of being an atheist. Now that I'm even older, science doesn't back up religion, and religion straight up refuses science and new technology. And above all else, it's a lot easier to be a nymphomaniac into a whole lot of weird shit as an atheist without caring what others say about me.

Volcanic pneumoconiosis, aka pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicavolcanoconiosis, an extremely rare disease caused by inhaling volcanic ash which contains fine silica particles. It causes nasal irritation, throat irritation with dry cough, uncomfortable breathing, bronchitic symptoms in some cases, airway irritation in some cases, and the extremely dangerous silicosis disease if the silica particles are small enough to enter the alveoli. Silicosis itself is an uncommon disease that damages the lungs and impairs their function, usually caused when working on projects, like roads or stonecutting, that have a lot of silica in them.

"If I hear you speak this or anything else racist again, I will smash your head with the nearest item. This is your only warning."

Racists are the most disgusting filth of the Earth. Dehumanizing somebody just because they fucking look different, even though they are just as capable and likely much smarter than the racist. Imagine how much farther we'd be as a planet of sentient life if we had all realized it's not okay to treat other sentient life like they were below one another immediately.

I'm extremely apathetic to things that would normally cause harsh emotional distress. I can calm people out of any situation because they see that I'm calm as well.

"I'm a nymphomaniac" in a private conversation. I've seriously unsettled people with it. Works better on people that know you less and less. Makes em uncomfortable around you, makes em want to stay away.

I've had two dreams in the past where I died in the dream. I imagine that death would be what happened at the end of those dreams, except I don't wake up with a jolt and my blood boiling through my body, cold sweat running down my forehead. I think it'd just be a moment of total darkness, so fast that the human mind cannot comprehend it, and then the end of memory and perception immediately after. It'd likely be signified by a complete stop of all neural signals to the parts of the brain that control the senses, memory, and dreams.

My life on this planet isn't that bad in the first place. Considering I also want to save the planet from catching on fire, I'd most likely try to live out the rest of my life achieving my goal. The only thing that would stop me and make me finally go to the afterlife, other than dying peacefully of natural causes, would be getting a terminal illness. Only then would I pull the plug, so I don't have to suffer though the agony of my body being slowly obliterated.

Smoking. It might look good in the movies but in reality, smoking one cigarette is worse for you and everybody around you than getting set on fire for a full minute.

Time for a bit of a personal story here. I'm already a small girl, only standing at 5'6 and 115 pounds, for about four years now. This means my lung capacity is low due to my small stature. However, I'm significantly worse off than others with how much air I can hold due to growing up in an environment where on one side of the family I have a smoking grandfather and on the other I had a smoking father (who quit) and have a smoking uncle. I've tested myself and I can barely hold my breath for 25 seconds underwater due to the significant second hand smoke damage caused to my body. I also have infrequent dull pains in my upper chest area which render me unable to do most physical activities due to the pain (dull does not mean mild). Also, whenever I inhale cigarette smoke in the present day of writing this, I will always get a sore throat within an hour of exposure. If I foresee the smoker and I hold my breath, my eyes and my nose burn when I walk through it. I don't know if this happens to others but smoking is not something that should be shown in media, let alone in romance. It's seriously harming to the smoker and the people around them.

The fact that if I took the easy way out during those times I would miss a significant portion of my life and that I would emotionally scar a lot of people, most of whom I did not want to hurt to that degree. Basically, thinking about the future rather than just the present.

I see this a lot in my online friends. I'm very good at telling if something is wrong from just standard chat and the best way to find out more information is to continually pressure your friend or relative while promising with your life that nobody but the relevant authorities would find out.

If you want to specifically look for alarm flags in general conversations, it's easier to do so with long time friends, as you can discern their standard behavior better. However, if you want to know how somebody you don't know so well is doing, ask their friends about how they normally act and you can work from their information. Some signs that have made me confront and confirm with my online friends include continued repetition of a self negative subject, a sudden change in the way they normally go about interacting with other people, such as becoming hostile to everybody, becoming apathetic towards everybody, or becoming unable to find enjoyment out of other's company, suddenly leaving a platform or a group chat, or even just an unusually long offline time.

Remember, if you see anything unusual that triggers a red flag, you need to talk to your friend or relative immediately. Most people don't notice that something is off until it is too late, or they don't care to ask because it might seem normal if it becomes a repeated action.

Remember, one person with some persistence and comforting words is all it can take to save somebody forever, or even for just long enough that they get help in their personal life.

Stay vigilant.

Same thing happens to me but with Shugabush. I got three Ghazt in one week.

"Whatever your brother does to you don't fight back. Tell me what happened and I'll take care of it," by doing nothing.

Never took geology, however, I can tell you that the continental drift caused by the tectonic plates will reunite the continents into one supercontinent many years from now. So long in the future that species today might not exist by that time.

Nearly all people won't get this reference...

The fact that it's called moon moth really reminds me of MoonMothMona from a game I play.

I bring in a coupon for food to a fast food place. Cashier goes ultra retarded and says, "I don't think we can do this at this time..." then proceeds to go behind the wall separating what I assume is the kitchen from the counter area, comes back 2 minutes later, tells me I have to pay a dollar for food from a coupon, and his reason was that he came out with a different discount style coupon WHILE I WAS STILL HOLDING the coupon in my hand. Manager comes out and takes my coupon and says, "Food will be right out," at which point the cashier says, "You took the wrong coupon I'm holding the coupon right here!"

TL:DR Try to get free food with a coupon, cashier mixes up my coupon with a random coupon, and says straight to the manager, "You took the wrong coupon I'm holding the coupon right here!" after she took my coupon.

"If the power were to go out for 1 hour in the United States, Russia, China, Japan, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Ireland, excluding Alaska, the world would immediately fall into some form of anarchy or total war."

Those fish are most likely afraid of anything bigger than them that moves fast like normal fish.

I think it's cute. Then again I think spiders and moths are cute as well.
