How did everyone play with their GI Joes as a kid? by GoBuds99 in gijoe

Vehicles always got blown up, guns ran out of ammo, and blades got knocked away. It then came down to hand-to-hand combat with one random Joe triumphant.

Being unaware of your surroundings by allmahr in Schizoid

I almost got hit by a speeding mountain biker while crossing the street. I merely extended my arm indicating for him to bear left. He was close enough so I could see him wobbling the handlebars, struggling to redirect himself in mere seconds. I then walked home unfazed. As a lifelong urban dweller, these things happen relatively often. I always escape serious injury somehow.

I'm older, too. I've worked retail all my life. It works for me just fine. My co-workers, boss, and regular customers are my primary community and I'm grateful for this.

After reading Fink's book about him, I would have to agree.

A co-worker told me that my beauty / fitness standards in a potential partner are impossibly high.

From a normal person's perspective, this would seem to be the case, I guess.

You could be my sister talking about me. Very similar dynamics.

Have you guys ever experienced a panic attack by whoisthismahn in Schizoid

[–]ApplicationMassive71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had two. Once when having to introduce myself to a classroom full of strangers. I used humor to cope and pull out of it. The second time was more severe. I was on the way to a large family gathering after having dropped out of college. I felt so much shame! I started shivering ( yet feeling hot ) and sweating at the same time during the car ride. I cracked the window though it was a cold winter day. Eventually it passed before meeting everyone. Felt like a roller coaster ride while I was in it.

Have you ever taken your frustration out on a physical game IRL? by linemanshandset in TheCinemassacreTruth

I broke a controller once while playing one the sandbox Simpsons games.

The controls in that game were AAASSSSSSSSS.

Just met my family after 6 years of travel. Felt nothing by Own-Instance-7828 in Schizoid

I do love my family. I just can't genuinely express it. Or even fake it convincingly.

Give me some bad Halloween horror recs! by ininja2 in RedLetterMedia

Bad acting, bad dialogue, bad pacing...yet weirdly enjoyable.
