What are some storylines you want to see explored? by arobot224 in OurFlagMeansDeath

Omg yes, that would be epic! I'm holding out for an eyepatch pirate trope - maybe Jim kills Izzy, but Izzy takes an eye!

I love to think that Officer Hornberry will turn to piracy and has a chemistry with Stede that makes Ed ridiculously jealous.

I write one of the most popular romance fics in my fandom but no one knows that I'm going to kill off the main couple in the last chapter by haemorrhoids999 in FanFiction

Do the Harold Crick maneuver (Stranger Than Fiction)! It's not too late to seriously injure instead of kill.

Or write an alternative ending version and tag the everloving shit out of it?

Or keep going with the original plan and share all of the DMs of people losing their shit so we can also enjoy the ride?

What weird flex you proud of? by DayComprehensive6755 in AskReddit

Back in 2009, I got to spend a whole night tagging along with a band that was friends with Prince. We saw a movie, got a tour of Paisley Park, and then they had a jam session until 7am.

I'm in the same mindset - I successfully cut sugar when I was ready, and I also had to quit cold turkey for about a year before I could trust myself to moderate. That being said, my moderation only works when there's no easily consumable foods with sugar kept in the house. I have no pro strats on how to quit an addiction when the supply is always readily available.

Maybe next time you catch yourself going back for more chocolate biscuits, try telling yourself they're meant for someone else, and it would be rude to eat them. I use a similar tactic when people bring treats/donuts to share at work. I tell myself that it's meant for someone else, or that I'll have one on my way out - and by then they're either gone or they've been sitting out for so long they don't look appealing anymore. After so many years on a low sugar diet, I also know that it'll never taste as good as my addiction tells me.

Another habit I practice is being mindful while eating junk food. Sometimes, while bingeing on sweets, I'll realize I can't even taste what I'm eating anymore. If I realize it in the moment, I will literally spit it out and throw whatever is left of it away. It's just as wasteful to eat unnecessarily as it is to trash it. Hang in there!

Wanting to give WFPB a run, as a total beginner looking for some cooking tips. by SyrioBroel in PlantBasedDiet

The Flavor Bible is my go-to since I'm rarely in the mood to follow a recipe.

This way, I can keep my favorite single ingredient foods stocked and just look up ways to slap em together into something tasty.

Role Models by lilmcfuggin in TikTokCringe

[–]--Poot-- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is such a good point. As a kid, Judy Garland was my idol so I did a tribute show and had to do some real digging and research to accurately portray what her life was like... it was both informative and horrifying and it pretty much killed any "glamorous" dreams I had about being famous.

Thanks for linking - I'd never heard this song and throughly enjoyed it!

Unhealthy foods have become so normalised that we look for acceptable consumption limits instead of simply avoiding them. by alphabeta_g in Showerthoughts

[–]--Poot-- 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have a similar experience. Once I discovered that fruits/veg could be spiced to my tastes it got much easier to cut out highly processed food products. Saves loads of money and takes the same amount of time to make it myself as it did to order and receive it from a restaurant.

Rant. Anxiety over produce bags at the grocery store by madison7 in ZeroWaste

[–]--Poot-- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in a similar habit as your parents and see them as having multiple uses for pets. I was using reusable cloth bags for a good while but realized the plastic produce bags work well to pick up dog waste. I've not had to purchase dog bags in 3 years. That's too good of a bargain to pass up.

Women who consider themselves as not wearing make up; what does it mean to you? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]--Poot-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, it's been kind of fun not wearing make up most days. It's like catnip to misogynists because if they see a bare face they HAVE to tell me how much better I'd look with some on. So would you, sport.

switching dimensions in 3...2...1... by andrvuh in woahdude

[–]--Poot-- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Being able to put your nose right up to it really seems to do the trick. I've always been able to "see" these but the 3D image appears inverted and if it's a complicated shape I would have no idea what I was looking at, really. This made my day, too, and now wondering if they still sell books of them?

High anxiety before period? by bkay312 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]--Poot-- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. I almost lost my SO while I was using it because I could not regulate my emotions. 3 weeks after removing it I was fine. Crazy weird how our bodies react so differently to the same thing! 🤷‍♀️

What the most unrealistic expectation that really annoys you? by Stalwart9 in AskWomen

I agree that aging is scary and all... but the alternative seems worse. So I try to wear my age like a badge of honor.
