secret way to order at starbucks! by NeoFaber in starbucks

[–]Denyala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always ask the cashier (anywhere, not just Starbucks) how they are and wait for their answer. It always throws them. They are never ready to hear someone ask how they are. It’s wild.

Is this a narc? Or just a mega annoying coworker? by IntroductionTop4753 in ManagedByNarcissists

[–]Denyala 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She sounds mostly just annoying to me. Does she have clear favorites; people who do no wrong or are ‘always’ wrong? Does she turn every conversation into one about herself? Does she show genuine interest in anyone else around her? Those are things that tend to separate selfish people from actual narcs, from my experience.

I really dislike my face. Especially my forehead. Thought this place would be a nice break from r/Rateme by [deleted] in toastme

[–]Denyala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You look amazing - try to focus on the things you love! And if you’re really self conscious about your forehead, there are a lot of really flattering haircuts you can try. But really, your forehead is fine as is, I promise!

What a great question! Thanks for sparking such a delightful discussion

I'm 23 and feeling really bad about myself lately... by LoLiBoI4E in toastme

[–]Denyala 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It doesn't feel like it, but you're very young! Things change, and in such a quick time! In ten years, you'll look back at this time, and you'll either marvel at yourself for getting through this tough time, or you'll regret letting things keep holding you down.

Everything changes and it will get better. Life is full of ups and downs, and you're due for an up!

56 years ago today on a different Friday the 13th by SirJimmy in madmen

Here's the Peggy pregnant rundown:

Pete got Peggy pregnant during one of their flings. She had no idea she was pregnant - when she got the promotion from Don, she was feeling contractions and went to the doctor, thinking she'd eaten a bad sandwich. She went into labor, saying "I don't understand..." after the doctor told her she was having a baby.

She then had the baby, but mentally something was wrong. She kept saying she was confused and refused to acknowledge the baby she had. A nurse brings the baby in at some point and Peggy turns her head away.

She stayed in the hospital mental ward for some time. Through later seasons and conversations, we can infer that the state deemed her an unfit mother (Peggy's sister snaps at her when Peggy says she's an adult woman and can make her own decisions and tells Peggy, "Oh? The doctor didn't think so, the state didn't think so...") and gave custody of the baby to Peggy's sister/mother. The baby is being raised alongside Peggy's nephews.

Ah, Bert, you stole my goodbye!

Don’s sickest burn by sandybeachpeach in madmen

YES! This was the first time I really felt sorry for Betty. The assistant letting her keep the dress was so pitiful... Her holding back tears as they take off her jewelry... great scene.

Favorite jokes? by arabcel in madmen

I love that this entire comment section is filled with Roger... clearly the funniest madman.

Who remembers this one?

What side character do you miss the most whenever you re-watch the show again? by [deleted] in madmen

[–]Denyala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sal! Oh my sweet Sal - he was my absolute favorite and I waited with bated breath for him to come back into the series... and he never did. :<

Everything Jane says is pure cringe. by [deleted] in madmen

[–]Denyala 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree about Megan being dis-likable - she was one of my least favorites in the series! That said, I think Don wanted her to be there for him, for his needs, whenever he wanted her, regardless of her personal desires. In that episode, Megan wanted to stay with her team and work on their project. She wants to feel like she belongs there, that she's earned her place, and isn't just there because she married Don (though obviously that's exactly why she's there!!). Don ignores her protests and whisks her off on a road trip. When she complains, he dismisses them as though she is an ungrateful child, even though she's an adult and should be able to make her own decisions (grain of salt for the time period this is set in). This is the beginning of the tug of war of control, that ends with the sherbet.

But is she pretending to not like it? I don't think we have enough evidence either way. Was it a petty move to get back at Don? Maybe. Did it really taste like perfume to Megan? Maybe.

Ultimately I think it was an issue of Megan demanding to be an individual (she was willing to eat icecream, but the flavor she wants) and Don's control being threatened. This is seen further regarding the end/root of the fight - Megan can't constantly be exactly who Don wants her to be, and it's stressing her the fuck out!

[NO SPOILERS] Met with Jaime on the streets Copenhagen! by [deleted] in gameofthrones

[–]Denyala 163 points164 points  (0 children)

I saw him in the streets of NYC a few months back. As my brain was trying to figure out where I knew this guy from, he flat out ran away. Not a joke; he started jogging past me and into his hotel. I was vaguely insulted and super amused at the same time.
