[Dr Iron Arc]

Sorry, buddy, I had to google what Cinnamon Toast Crunch is, no idea why kids should like it or not.

It was just a silly slogan the commercials would always have. The idea was that only kids could see why it tastes good or whatever. I'm not a kid anymore so I forgot the reason.

How old were you when you first formed a political opinion?

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

17 I guess I started to notice all the political rallying in my area and decided that I hated it. That was the year before the 2012 US election so I ended up voting Republican just to spite everyone around me. Then again when I was only 8 years old I started getting this fear that the government was spying on me everywhere, even the shower. Turns out I was way ahead on the whole NSA thing.

How old were you when you had your first crush?

How old were you when you first started to mistrust
your government?

For me it was not a single incident. Political slander is nothing new, but the ruling party don't even try to hide their bias anymore. The latest election has defamation become the talk of the town.

How old were you when you decided that you were done with politics?

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I guess I've never really been "done with it". I always keep an ear to it even though I hate it so much. Guess I'm a masochist like that.

9. Not all that serious, but I got stripped of my position as prefect for being a klutz and forgetting to do my homework.

6. There was a girl from the other 1st grade class who was tall for her age and liked to chase down and beat up the weaker boys. Me and two other guys would run to the boys' bathroom for safety but eventually she hired another guy in my class to chase us out of there... I think eventually she left the school for whatever reason maybe she was reprimanded?

[Null Hypothesis]

How old were you when you first realized that adults were lying to you about something?

11. One day Mom and I had a quarrel and my (narcissist) dad told me behind her back that she was mentally unstable, and her unpredictability meant she could cut me up with a knife. Immediately after that statement I started tearing up as I knew in my heart however upset she was Mom would never do that. I didn't want to accept it at that time, but nDad was trying to sow discord between us.

I feel like my whole life my dad was lying or at least exaggerating stuff about my mom. I think I realized it for real when I saw an episode of South Park about adults lying to kids to force them not to use drugs when I was around 14.

How old were you when you first used physical violence against someone?

I was in 3rd grade and got suspended for trying to punch my "rival", who was just some kid who made me mad for how superior he was. Punching him in the arm shouldn't as hurt as much as he claimed it did though because I was always physically weak and he was literally in advanced karate classes.

How old were you when your birthdays stopped feeling like they were worth celebrating?

 

[Null Hypothesis]

How old were you when your birthdays stopped feeling like they were worth celebrating?

24. Already depressed, I was hoping that my birthday (for whatever reason) would provide me a much-needed respite from chronic pain. Lo and behold, that didn't happen. Things went downhill fast. At one point I saw no reason to get hyped over a meaningless number—of how much time has passed since I was put on this earth against my will.
