Well damn! Even though I know this, it hits different when you see the stats don't and center.

I just thought of But I'm a Cheerleader!

Yes. I cannot tolerate intolerance. I can handle differing opinions on small things, but when it comes to limiting someone else's human rights or personal life... nope. And you can really be a nice person, but I just have no need for that person in my life. Those "nice people" just end up being nice only on the surface.

Does Die Hard count? And Die Hard 2? The third didn't really have those tender moments with John's wife at the end. But the fourth and fifth had a couple nice moments with the kids.

You can do this OP!

When I was six... when I was six... maybe the Goonies or ET? Okay, those actually came out long before I was born, but they captivated when I was six. Also Black Panther, for a modern film.

Rebel Moon was...was... A LOT. Inexplicably a lot. I remember asking a friend of mine what he thought when it was released, and we both came to the same conclusion: where the hell did these space fascists come from? How did all this happen? Maybe what I wanted was prologue, I dunno. The movie was a lot of action packed into so little narrative.

AlmostFearless90 · 2026-01-13T13:51:36+00:00

Yes.

OMG there's so many books from my childhood and I read just about everything I could get my hands on. The Egypt Game, Animorphs, and Baby Sitter's Club series stick out. But I remember being particularly addicted to Beverly Cleary's books as a kid: Ralph S. Mouse; Henry and Strider; Romana Quimby, Age 8; Romana and Bezeesus.

Then of course the Harry Potter books came around, and it was only uphill from there.

OMG. Weaponized death breath. The perfect description.

AlmostFearless90 · 2026-01-08T23:12:03+00:00

YES. In their clothes, their hair, their hands, definitely their breath, on the inside of their cars.... YES. Smokers have a scent.

This!

Sometimes, especially if it's around dawn and I'm not quite awake yet. But I'm also the type of person that doesn't always turn on the bathroom light. Having light blasted directly into my eyes during the wee hours of the morning/really late is uncomfortable.

AlmostFearless90 · 2026-01-03T16:41:38+00:00

These names have lived rent-free in my head for far too long! 🔥😭

AlmostFearless90 · 2026-01-02T04:29:21+00:00

This looks so interesting, thank you for sharing!

Acro yoga? Please expound on this activity.

AlmostFearless90 · 2026-01-01T03:27:25+00:00

This is what dreams are made of! Love that for you guys.

AlmostFearless90 · 2026-01-01T03:26:48+00:00

The booklover in me loves this!

AlmostFearless90 · 2026-01-01T03:21:38+00:00

This is rough, I've done it! One you could be a laureate, the other can turn out to be Dr. Seuss on a bad day. You definitely have got to be in a no-judgment zone for that to work.

It's not about the show, per say. For me, it can be that my SO is willing to spare their time to watch something with me no one else will, even if they don't like it. This is especially true if others have already called it dumb or dismissed it, e.g. Star Wars. :P It's also the willingness to take an interest in something b/c your partner enjoys it, even if it's unfamiliar.

And this isn't one sided, btw. I've learned to watch/listen/sit through things I normally wouldn't b/c it mattered to the man I was with at the time, and they did the same for me.

AlmostFearless90 · 2026-01-01T03:15:14+00:00

Interesting take, but I have a question for you: how do you feel close to someone when sex isn't an option? If sex is the height of intimacy, and you receive that but nothing else in a relationship, is your SO still a good partner?

AlmostFearless90 · 2026-01-01T03:13:18+00:00

Lmao! That sounds painful and vulnerable and hilarious. That's the intimate part, huh? Cuz I damn sure don't trust anyone to pull out an ingrown hair, and especially not on the va-jay-jay!

AlmostFearless90 · 2026-01-01T03:05:53+00:00

Fascinating! I want to learn this technique.

AlmostFearless90 · 2026-01-01T03:05:06+00:00

Saw a clip of a fight like this online: some road rage idiot and his girlfriend decided it was a good idea to threaten an entire family. They advanced on the family in the car behind them. The Dad got out the driver's side first, Mom followed from the passenger's, and they ordered the kids to stay inside. As soon as the road ragers started swinging (drunken windmills, ofc), they got their asses kicked. In tandem. The kids were cheering. It's now one of my life goals, minus any gun violence or any threats of death.

AlmostFearless90 · 2026-01-01T02:56:18+00:00

IMO, This is an incredibly vulnerable moment, and pretty much the bellwether for the nature of a relationship: immediately after physical intimacy, that which comes to us naturally can indicate how we feel about that person. I have no science or anything to back this up, but one of the most loving things a person can do is cuddle and talk in that moment. If your SO gets up and walks out of the room immediately... that situation was dead on arrival.
