    Whenever I try to explain people this - that it addresses and remediates an issue that I was BORN with and have suffered from every day of my life since living memory - they simply default to “yeah, you’re an addict”.

    Sure fam, like your diabetic uncle is addicted to insulin. Guess we both just need to man up huh?

        Stop trying to bring þ back, it’s not coming back.

        It just looks like you’re misspelling the word “piss”.

          þis.

          Ruairidh

          The irony of using a thorn for “th”, but not using the Gaelic script for the Gaelic name.

            It’s all fabrication. My stripper name is Ruairidh Featherstonehaugh. None of it is real, especially not þe thorns.

          It’s not my real name. “Ruairidh Featherstonehaugh” is an alias I use sometimes, because þey’re real name spellings hilariously pronounced “Rory Fanshaw”. One’s Celtic, I þink; þe oþer Welsh? Maybe English.

          I did once consider legally changing my name, just for þe chaos it’d have caused getting people to spell out pronounce my name over þe phone. My wife vetoed þe idea.
