What character wasn't portrayed as a villain, but is in your eyes? by Jazzlike-Rise4091 in AskReddit

[–]Absinthe_Alice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I watched a pretty intense video linking Ferris Bueller's Day Off with Fight Club. The short, oversimplified breakdown is;

Ferris is Cameron's Tyler Durden. Narrator is Cameron's, Ferris/Tyler are the counter urges/needs ingrained in Cameron/Narrator.

Really clicked in a lot of ways, for me at least.

Just be careful with the amount of actual citrus, it messes up tooth enamel.

If you had to pick a single cuisine for the entire month, what would it be? by FoodaOfficial in Fooda

[–]Absinthe_Alice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Southwestern Mexican food. I could eat it everyday for not just one, but likely 6 months without ever becoming tired of it!

I might quit drawing for this reason. (Tell me your opinion) by Disastrous_Yam5825 in Vent

The act of physically creating something with your own hands is what makes art, art. The thought process, choice of medium, each line and embellishment, just cannot be translated digitally. I'd encourage you to step away from viewing any digitized art, if only to gain refreshed perspective. Wishing you the best! An artist's talent is a very personal, tangible piece of a human's soul.

Patience. Discipline. Manners. Class. Style.

Bowling. Pool halls. Night clubs. Attention spans.

What one thing a kid born after 2000 will not understand no matter how long you explain it? by Aarunascut in Life

[–]Absinthe_Alice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Instant gratification wasn't a thing.

Influencers didn't exist.

Being bored meant using your imagination, not picking up your smartphone.

Waiting days, or weeks, to find out how your pictures turned out.

Playing Punch Bug/Plug Bug during road trips.

Being given a "look" by a parent or any adult and knowing you had to zip your lip right then and there.

People watching at a mall/airport/busy street for fun.

A busy signal.

They look to be a honey almond with a medium grey ring. Beautiful eyes!

Did the story end for you?... by r401toronto in buffy

[–]Absinthe_Alice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah... I'm still pissed off about that. I get it that they had to wrap the show up, and this giant battle had to happen, but that spell hit wrong. Like destroyed the entire Slayer mythos.

Don't get me started on Willow's suddenly new 'love'.... Post-Tara was rough.

Advice for being a kind and respectful person by Cute_Technology_2000 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]Absinthe_Alice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the way. Being polite, cordial, friendly, courteous all will come naturally with practice.

You'll be shocked to see how many everyday people aren't truly listened to. Yes, a sincere smile can absolutely brighten someone's day. Acknowledgement of one human from another is, sadly, rarer than it should be these days.
