I used to run a Call Of Duty clan (back when it first came out) and over the several years I was involved, we had three women (teenagers/young adults) play with us. The amount of banning from the server because of harassment towards just those three players (who weren't often online at the same time) was easily more than quadruple the amount of bans doled out against the guys. I banned 41 different guys in one day from either the TeamSpeak or the game server (or both), and I remember that number because it is fucking absurd. And those pieces of shit were unbelievably disgusting. I wouldn't be surprised if they've caused some real damage in the real world.

I even had to kick two longtime members out of the clan itself because they kept hounding these ladies after multiple requests (and eventually demands) to stop.

Whether or not men or women get harassed more is irrelevant (as some people are discussing here). It is the subject matter of that harassment that matters and women hands down get it worse than men, its not even a question. Now that's not to hand-wave the emotional distress it causes in men as well, but men don't have a general constant fear of being raped or killed.

HEY LARRY, I GOT A QUESTION!: You guys each have several attempts to succeed in a prank. For every attempt you guys make that gets onto the show, how many are left out because they didn't go to plan? And what is an example of a prank going horribly wrong that never made it onto the show?

My friend recently introduced me to you guys and I hyperventilate from laughter during each show. It's becoming an issue. Even my girlfriend who hates cringe/prank comedy loves you guys. Absolutely the most CONSISTENTLY funny thing on TV ever, in my opinion. Thank you guys so much for that! You're awesome!

Amen, my friend.

Besides, it's likely that a person can get reattached and be done with the ostomy bag as I did. I now have a J-pouch, which I refer to as my fauxlon.

I used to literally live on the toilet after I was diagnosed at age 12. I had a pillow and blanket, had a little tv on a stand with wheels. My best friend would even come over and sit in the hallway and play videogames with me. It was terrible. I had such an acute case of UC that the operation was a given after nearly two years. AS in your case, I'd have died very young if not for the surgery. And so, after trying every therapy available at the time (which was not man as it was the mid nineties), I had the surgery at age 16 when the UC took an even worse turn. And I won't even begin to commiserate with you over the bombardment of Prednisone while going through puberty. Jesus Christ.

The person you're replying too has no idea the benefits of the surgery in truth, only that they don't want to "shit in a bag". As a teen, I used to do outreach for kids like us and once they were educated about life with the bag, or suffering, it was an easy choice for them to make. I would get letters years later with the lovely news that they were living a much better life. If OP wants to suffer with frustration for 15 years, that's their choice. And in my opinion, it's a terrible one. And once it gets so bad that they need the surgery, they'll be kicking themselves for not having it done decades earlier.

For me however, because I am susceptible to auto-immune diseases, I developed chronic pouchitis which is the inflammation of that J-pouch. It's dealt with now and while it's nowhere near as bad as UC, it's still not great. I also developed Primary Schlerosing Cholangitis which required a liver transplant (which I guess wouldn't be a "cure" to some people lol)

Anyways, I am so happy for you now that you have your life back. And I'm super proud of you for making the decision to get the surgery even though like myself, you had no real choice.

I must be missing something. What's the issue with that article?

Honestly man, the "shit-bag" is not a con. When coming from having UC, its nice to have literal control over when and where you "shit". I remember I nearly cried the first time I went to a theatre and didn't have to get up to shit two or three times lol Or the fact that when someone blames you for a fart, it's impossible!

Does it have its downsides? Yea, of course. My dog jumped up on me once in my driveway and he tore it off. I had a fucking crazy cat get loose in a vet waiting room and jumped on me and scratched my face and arms and poked a little hole in my bag. Whenever it's really hot out and I start sweating I get anxiety from the days when I had an ostomy bag and feared that it would come off from sweat (it never actually did, I was just paranoid). But I'd live through all of that again to avoid the pain and suffering of UC.

What I'm curious about is why they can't remove your entire colon? That's just weird to me.
