  • Y’know what, I can’t bring up my kids in a church whose authority system is based entirely on the size of fuckin’ hats, okay? That’s apparently how the Catholic church is run. The bigger the hat, the more important the guy, right?! Priests have no hats, Cardinals have those little red beanies, the Pope has a collection of big hats. God must have a huge fuckin’ sombrero up there in heaven, huh? “Look at me, I’m God! Look at the size of my hat, who else would I be?!” “I don’t know, lead singer of Los Lobos? I don’t know! You tell me!”

  • I definitely wouldn’t say it is selfish by any stretch of the imagination. But I can see how someone would get offended if you forgot theirs.

    I’m horrible with names too. I’m just up front with people about it. If anyone gives me a hard time I tell them I’m face blind. That usually ends the discussion or them trying to give me tips.

    I agree saying someone’s name over and over feels creepy. I know why they do it, but it comes off super unauthentic.

    I’m fine with my own name, but I have a very common name that is always shortened. For some reason it makes me want to crawl out of my skin when someone says the shortened version with my last name.

    I can’t say if it’s a common ADHD thing. But you can add one more ADHD (probably somewhere on the spectrum) person who is in agreement with you.

    While the accounts are most like exaggerated, so are most things from that time. We still learned about Paul Revere and not the 40 other riders out that night. Or the fact the Revere was captured, while the others with him escaped. And Samuel Prescott was the one who actually finished the ride.
