[–] xyzzy21 4y ago ↗ I don't negotiation or argue anything with mentally ill people. They are a write-off in that regard so I don't get mad. Let them. [–] snypher 4y ago ↗ I wasn't sure if the 'mad' was an antiquated way of saying 'metnal illness', or if the reader was supposed to be mad at them?I do enjoy this quote from ancient history>On the Internet there are enough people interested in becoming amputees to support a minor industry.

[–] karmakaze 4y ago ↗ I'm surprised in that lengthy post there was no mention of that condition where certain limbs feel like they are not part of 'you' but rather feel like alien things attached to you. Also as you mention 'healthy' is clickbait.
