Oh yeah, I've got mud daubers, too. They're cool; they don't mess with me, and I don't mess with them. It's really just those big, red assholes (and the occasional yellow jacket) that are problematic.

I'm fine with bugs that don't bother me. Around my house, I've got a ton of red paper wasps. They're assholes. My mere existence makes me a threat worth stinging. Same for the rest of my family. They can go fuck themselves.

Wow, greenery sure makes things brighter. /s

We're snuggly right up until we get bitey.

Nope. Nope.

I don't mind a hug, but I have zero desire to snuggle or wrestle with my friends, male or female.

You're absolutely right. I meant it was "acceptable" -- I don't recall hearing people judged for saying it, but that was among an immature, high school crowd. It was definitely considered offensive to use as a label, rather than an insult (which was on the same level as f*g; not acceptable, but commonplace).

Except it's not so much "shiny" that distracts me, as it is literally anything.

There are things that I've intended to do for months. Many times, I've been on my way to do it, only to have some little thing distract me, and then completely forget about what I intended to do. Maybe a child asks me a question. Maybe I stop to take a sip of water. Maybe I just start thinking about something else in that 10 second walk. The significance of the distraction does not matter; the task immediately vacates my mind. I often even remember that I was going to do something, but I cannot remember what.

If you insist on it being a girl, then yeah, it's too late. Adult relationships have their own brand of sweet and romantic.

I don't think I've used the word once since high school. Had it been generally unacceptable back then, I wouldn't have done so. I graduated high school in 2004, and it was at least an acceptable insult back then (though not to call a disabled person), I think. I was a jackass in high school, though, so I could be wrong.

Either way, it offends people now, so we shouldn't say it. It's that simple. Deliberately offending people just makes you an asshole.

Silicone is easy enough to remove.

Yeah, it's pretty bad, particularly trying to read it on a phone.

I definitely learned useful things in community college -- at least in so far as general education courses can be considered useful. There were some duds, of course. However, I don't feel like I got much more out of university classes of the same level.

With that being said, you may just have the misfortune of attending a lackluster school.
