My hand writing is about as bad as my spelling.

Is it bad form to say people regularly compliment me on my handwriting? I doubt they ever read anything I wrote in a hurry, though…. a-hard-days-night-ringo-6

It’s not bad form to say that. I compliment my own handwriting all the time – it’s really my best quality.

People criticizing you for stuff that you really can’t change. For example, handwriting. I have messy handwriting myself, I’ve heard these comments for so long, that it literally annoys the crap out of me. Once, I was working on a poster with a kid, saw me write the title of the poster and said “Woah, your handwriting looks like sh*t! Can I write everything on the poster? Nobody’s going to be able to read it!”. He said that to my face. Well, I’m sorry that just how my handwriting turned out. And plus, my handwriting isn’t even that bad anymore (it used to look 10000000 times worse) and the teachers can read it. Plus, there’re people in the class with worse handwriting. Now, keep your opinions about something I obviously can’t change to yourself and shut up.

Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever gotten so mad at people thinking my handwriting was horrible. Normally, the teachers are the ones complaining

You shouldn’t be so offended at being told your handwriting isn’t too hot, especially since you know it’s true.

You can change your handwriting, @natureaker. Just keep practicing, maybe slow down a little. I never wrote in cursive until a couple years ago, and when I first started writing in cursive it looked like a little kid’s handwriting, but now it’s ten thousand times better. I just practice a lot and pay good attention to other people’s handwriting to see if there are better ways I can produce certain letters. 

You say it’s not that bad anymore and that now it’s 10000000 times better, so why wouldn’t it be able to still get better from where it’s at now? You need to believe in yourself and your handwriting a little more. There is no metaphorical plateau, so why should you place your handwriting on it?

That is true. However, I do believe natureaker has a perfect right to be pissed at mannerless maggothead’s lack of manners. There are nicer ways to put it than ‘whoa, your handwriting looks like s***’.

When you dunk a biscuit in your cup of tea and it comes apart and falls into the cup. Ruins the cup of tea and the biscuit.

Blow dryers in bathrooms annoy the crap out of me. You either stand there for 20 minutes waiting for it to “dry” your hands, or it takes .005 seconds and you get to watch your skin almost rip off. Sometimes, they have even been so loud, that I had to cover my ears so I don’t practically lose my hearing

Yes! When I see that there are only blow dryers, I don’t bother drying my hands.

The fact that Quentin Blake illustrates David Walliams’ books, I look at his books and go “OMIGOD IT’S A NEW ROALD DAHL BOOK!” But of course it isn’t, curses!

 

And David Walliams just showed up on The Late Late Toy Show, that’s nice.

When somebody tells me I’m not vegan because I eat something that has a tiny amount of eggs or milk

Sometimes I’ll eat a cookie or a brownie even though it’s not vegan and people call me out for being a hypocrite when I do

But eggs and milk are an animal by-product hence….not-vegan. If anything you’re a lapsed-vegan.

I wouldn’t call you a hypocrite though that’s a bit extreme, but you’re not a Level 5 vegan.

It just makes me mad because I’m not vegan for anybody else. I do it for myself, so if I eat something every once in a while that might not be vegan that doesn’t make me a hypocrite. 

And I’m definitely not a level five vegan lol.

Fruitarian is a no-killing diet. They only eat what plants give out freely, so they don’t eat anything that harms or kills the plant to be harvested. They don’t eat animal by-products though.

Is there anything left aside from poop, animal saliva, shed skin/feathers/fur and fallen leaves?

Probably still tastier than a mushroom risotto.a-hard-days-night-paul-3

Surely when you pick the fruit you are killing it as before you did it was attached to its life source. You’d have to wait till it fell naturally to the ground. Would do for dessert.

Technically the fruit is still living as long as there are living cells within them, so they’re not dead once you pick them, but they are dying. And picking the fruit doesn’t kill the plant, which is the goal.
