I've never had a twitter. To the people that have been using twitter for a while: what do you get out of twitter? What do you most often tweet about? How often, if you're so inclined to care, do your tweets 'break out' from your follower circle and gain a wider audience?

I like arguing online and it seems that twitter is the place to be for that.

Twitter is good for following journalists and people that retweet breaking news. The actual publication can be mixed quality, but if you follow journalists twitter handles, you see their articles and opinions preferentially.

Then there’s the fun stuff. Memes, cute videos, heartwarming stories. Facebook used to be that a decade ago. Imgur is that too.

I like the stories/linked articles, I like the quick “takes” that challenge my existing opinions or make me think about something I hadn’t even considered.

I don’t use it as an active platform to tweet. It’s too short and there’s too many trolls. I’ll tweet replies and I’ve developed some friends that way. But gaining and growing a personal audience is not the way I use the platform. It’s my breaking news and individual reporter article aggregator.

What's the cheapest way to get get your own custom email thingy, like example@fiwifaki.com for around 10 people. Gmail works just fine for me, wouldn't want any other email service, just a different email ending (and even porting and operating with a Gmail type service).

Think GoDaddy offers free email if you register a domain with them. Not sure how many accounts tho. Check out a few of the registrars tho; GoDaddy, namecheap, dreamboat, etc. They all have different prices and offers depending on the TLD you want.

I use namecheap for.my domain and am happy with it. But I don't use email through them.

Various media outlets like Amazon, Comcast, Youtube, etc... Sell individual episodes of various TV series for ~$3.00 an episode.

Is that something people do? Buy individual episodes of a series?

It could be people there are people who buy the first episode or two of a series to see if they like it ... and maybe they end up buying the rest as well because they're too lazy to find where they can watch cheaper.

Why are women so obsessed with acrylic/plastic nails? I'm a huge germaphobe and think they're disgusting.
Luckily my girlfriend hates them as much as I do, but some of our friends have those plastic claws and whenever I have to shake their hand I can't help myself and make a face, I also get itchy and wanna wash my hands immediately afterwards.
This has caused some minor disputes with a particular friend and I kinda feel bad about it.
But I can't help it, I'm just disgusted by those kinda nails and it may sound ridiculous, but it's a genuine phobia I have.
So how am I supposed to avoid another confrontation?
At this point I'm thankful for any kind of advice, that isn't "start wearing gloves"...

Might need a girls opinion on this ^^

I hate them as well, but not because of hygene. They are just ugly, stupid, unpractical and stupid

No idea, maybe it's because they provide a lot of space to paint with some eye catching colour?

She's a friend. Tell her what you think. And don't say "they are awful, get away from me", but tell her that you're a germaphobe and her acrylic nails accrue more germs than natural nails do, which makes you uncomfortable shaking her hand. How about a peck on the cheek instead? Or a fistbump. Or just a "hi" and a smile?

Anyway, the reason people have them is because they like long nails (for painting) but growing your own that long takes long and they break easily. You know how else you could have gotten that info? By talking to your friend

And yeah, I don't like them much either.

Yeah, talk to them and explain it. When they answer that its not so bad/silly/dumb explain to them that a phobia is an irrational fear of something and not something you actively chose to do.

If they can't understand that then they probably wouldn't be a good friend anyway.

Good advice in general. People are usually very, very understanding of some personal weirdness about you that you communicate freely about. However if you have a personal weirdness that you don't talk about - however one that makes you act 'weird', where they don't know what the reason is, then it's much more common that they just kinda.. think you're weird.

There's nothing wrong with being a germophobe or afraid of spiders or whatever. But if people don't know those about you, and you avoid shaking hands or make some disgusted face when shaking hands, or you avoid going to a cabin trip because you're afraid of spiders but you don't want to give that as a reason and instead you just say 'i can't' every time, then what would have been a really small personal thing can instead become interpreted as something else (he doesn't like me / doesn't like spending time with us- whatever') which instead ends up having consequences for your social life.

Well, I did talk to her. But it's not like she sees my point or anything like that, she's quite defensive about it and takes it as a personal attack or something. We usually get along quite well, I don't know...
I've never been very good at telling people how I feel and how it is to walk a mile in my shoes and I don't wanna be seen as a whiny b..aby.

I mean here your personal weirdness does sorta attack her, so there might not be a way for you to phrase it in a truly diplomatic fashion. 'I'm a germophobe and sadly your fingers, due to your obsession with fake acrylic finger nails, is a germ-factory, and I cannot help but be disgusted by the thought of touching them' is kinda insulting no matter how true the sentiment is. :D

So I mean my honest advice would be 'just deal with it and be less of a germophobe, realize that rationally you won't get sick at all from shaking her hand', but I'm guessing that's not possible for you either. But can't fault her for having a negative response. (Just as I or her can't fault you for being a germophobe )

I just don't wanna hurt her feelings every time we meet. It's hard to keep it together, when the phobia starts kicking in and even harder when every one's looking at me like I'm a weirdo (which I'll admit I am in this particular case xD)

Do people shake hands with other people they consider friends often? I think maybe my grandpa shakes my hand every time i see him but other than that and other older male relatives it's all for introduction purposes... Or do you make a lot of deals with this person that you seal with a handshake?

With other guys yes. They don't need to be friends, just guys I know well enough to greet them when we see each other. Guess that depends on where you live.

I give hugs to very good friends that I haven't seen in a while or slightly less good friends that I haven't seen in a very long time, handshakes to slightly less good friends I haven't seen in a while, handshakes to people I meet for the first time, and only verbal greetings to friends (of any proximity) that I have met recently.

In Brazil, whenever two guys meet they always shake hands, except when they meet on a regular basis (work colleagues meeting at the workplace) in which case they might just say hi, or if they're family/good friends/friends they haven't seen in a while, in which case they'll hug.
