As a totally random one-off, have any of you guys noticed commercials for drugs treating schizophrenia on prime time TV as of late? I mean, I've gotten used to the commercials treating this and that and giving the disclaimers like not using it if you're a person that's pregnant or could get pregnant (uhhh, like all females?), possible explosive diarrhea and death. You know, the usual. F.e. Typical commercials this year featuring homosexuals and drag queens and their problems are now in the mainstream, but now we've suddenly moved onto Schizophrenia. Nothing wrong with it, in fact it's probably a good thing. But it just seems so random to me. That type of stuff was never really outside of the professional realm. i.e. NOT on tv commercials. I don't know, I just find it kind of... odd? Â
Fwiw, I can't imagine what it must be like to have to go through life like that. Especially in the age before treatment.

I will never forget when I took my Dad to his appointments and they kept asking "are you pregnant"? The first time he looked at me with a WTF face and then turned and asked "what did you just ask me?"

The biggest problem in America today is those pesky straight white Christian males. We are weeding them out but many still remain. Another generation or two should take care of it.

It's really not. It's people like Pelosi, Schumer, Omar, Tlaib....Shiff...white liberals who work with black activists.  I'm not going back and do this again but I could list a GIANT amount of white liberal governors like our girl in Michigan, idiots in NY and California and ALL the mayors who are white, and they are not Christian straight white males.

Schumer, Omar, Tlaib, and Shiff aren't white. Two are Jews, one is black and one is Arab Palestinian of some form.
Your self hatred is misleading you. The point of my comment, and it is 100% true, is that straight Christian white males are under attack in this sick society of ours. No reason to make your usual posts saying "there are bad white people too". You are way out of line.

You want to show me that Jewish people are not white? AND don't put words in my mouth or post. You self hatred of non whites is misleading you...see how this works? You want me to post all those names of WHITES who are holding power in states, cities, and universities? No reason for you to make your usual posts of saying ALL black and hispanic, etc non whites are bad.  There are bad white people behind this and for you to ignore that says more ABOUT YOU than about me posting it. Now, do your p1tch impression and roll 10 pages of nonsense of how you dislike black people. It's entertaining.

HUH???? They actually asked this outside of the context of a joke? Seriously? Â

I could tell the nurses and whoever was working were embarrassed to ask those questions. I guess that is protocol.Â
Was still very awkward.

Was still very awkward. Man, I wish somebody would ask me those questions someday (not though under your dad's circumstances). Â Oh the fun I could have. Especially the penile implant. "Let me look.

I am laughing too hard, thank you. The condom catheter, I figured that out without asking. I just took like a 10 min walk outside when that was being explained.

With questions like those, you have to keep a completely straight face and answer, why yes, I'm due in January.
