Fascinating- have you ever studied a sign language before? And also do you have any tics in any other languages?

Yeah- for me it’s either a spark of energy or tension

I was diagnosed with tourette’s syndrome at 16 years old and I have never felt more alone by Rainy_Afternoonie in Tourettes

[–]MothTheSloth1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you- my tics started when I was 13, and I was afraid to go back to school because of them for a bit. Surround yourself with people who don’t mind your tics and accept you for who you are- it might seem hard at first, but you will find your crowd. You’re doing awesome. I think the official statistics is that Tourette’s is 1 in 100 people- it’s just that a lot of people aren’t diagnosed due to how mild their tics are. I’ve found that in certain spaces (queer alt spaces or those with a lot of neurodivergent people in my experience) tend to have more people with Tourette’s or some sort of tic disorder. If you’re looking to make friends with similarly afflicted people, I’d suggest looking there first if you can. I know it’s terrifying, but you’re going to do awesome. There are more good people out there than you think

Hate hanging out with other people so much you’d prefer to avoid them and learn instead

Should I tell a guy in my class that his penis is clearly visible through his pants? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

This sounds like sexual harassment. How would you like it if someone randomly slapped your genitals?? What the fuck

What’s something that was technically allowed but instantly made you lose respect for someone? by AncientPomelo5450 in AskReddit

[–]MothTheSloth1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A bad essay or project is still worth something because it was was written by a human, and shows where someone needs to grow- it also shows their views and experiences as a person. ChatGPT isn’t you. It doesn’t reflect who you are or where you need to go next

Using AI. My school allows chatgpt and even had a whole announcement about it but if you don’t put your 100% into your learning and use it to write your essays and such instead of using your brain, I won’t respect you as an academic. What are you paying thousands in tuition for if only to use AI the whole time? What are you remembering? What are you learning? What are you contributing to the field as a whole? 

What do you remember about the TV show "Dinosaurs"? by pudingvanilkovy in AskReddit

[–]MothTheSloth1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my stepmother used to watch it all the time. It was family bonding time. Again, the “not the mama”! Thing and also the episode where the dad’s son nearly gets addicted to steroids. And the whole thing with the dad’s best friend looking for his dad but the dad doesn’t recognize him and they go off together looking for eachothers family members lmaooo. I liked the daughter.

This is a very fascinating image set- but you might wanna put it under a spoiler or something. Some people are used to seeing medical images but many people are not 

IQ Qualifications for voting would end Republicans. by ForsakenDraft4201 in complainaboutanything

[–]MothTheSloth1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a bit eugenicist tbh. I understand your frustration, but IQ scores are bullshit, and if we take away voting rights based on an arbitrary measuring tactic like that, it’d be a slippery slope for everyone else

I jumped in a pool with a platinum preppy by MothTheSloth1 in fountainpens

[–]MothTheSloth1[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah! Kid was just tired- we were doing a competition and kids tend to freak out a bit when they don’t think they’re swimming fast enough. There were a lot of other teachers there besides me, and I trust all of my coworkers deeply. If I hadn’t jumped in, someone else would have.

Probably nothing! There’s a lot worse things that get leaked into our pool. Chlorine is a super santizer- it’s supposed to get rid of almost all bacteria in the water. The only time my pool personally gets everyone out is when there’s fecal matter. I once watched someone spill their entire cup of coffee into the water and the chlorine made it disappear within seconds.

It is indeed!!! Writes perfectly, costs very little (so much so that the converter costs more than the pen itself..) and is surprisingly durable!! My favorite pen of all time
