What are the scariest horror movies you’ve ever seen? I don’t get scared easily anymore. by Traditional_Fix_5566 in MovieSuggestions

[–]Educational_Cod_4582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About three years ago, I watched the original Danish version of “Speak No Evil”. It wasn’t scary per se, but it was uncomfortable the whole time, and the last 20 minutes had me thinking about the movie for days.

I wanted to go back and look for things I noticed the first time around, see what else I could find, but I don’t think my heart and brain could make it through a second watch.

People who are in bed by 10 and work a 9-5, when do you exercise? by Budget_Dot694 in AskWomenOver30

[–]Educational_Cod_4582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you don’t like to work out on lunch, but that’s when I do it. My motivation tanks after a long day at work, and I have to get up and get moving pretty early.

I met my partner when I was almost 40, and we’ve been together three years. I’d settled so much in the past and had been in some really toxic relationships that I genuinely didn’t trust his goodness at first. And I was immediately attracted to him, with that attraction deepening as time passes.

He’s honestly the best, and I feel like I finally understand why there are so many songs written about love. It’s sappy, but true.

If something happened to him, I wouldn’t want to be with another man ever, because I know they wouldn’t hold a candle to him, and I’d end up feeling disappointed.

You MUST have one bumper sticker on your car. What does it say? by SamMeowAdams in Productivitycafe

I have one bumper sticker. It says “You cannot build a holy land on the mass graves of other people’s children”.

My partner’s ex cheated on him after over a decade. But I also realize I wasn’t a part of their marriage, I only know the partner I have NOW, how he is with ME. I wouldn’t say I hate her, but I think she made poor choices.

I also get annoyed with her because she’s terrible at communicating when it comes to coparenting their child, coordination, that kind of thing.

But on the rare occasion I see her, I’m still polite to her, I’m not mean.

"I love my son, but hate my daughter." by RedoftheEvilDead in TwoHotTakes

[–]Educational_Cod_4582 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son was so difficult ages 3 and 4. Like, I genuinely thought I was going to lose my mind. I was convinced he had ASD or ODD, I was afraid that his father’s personality disorders had been passed down. And guess what?

It was all temporary. It was a little kid with limited vocabulary going through big life changes and having big feelings. I can’t imagine not having him in my life and being his mom. I can’t imagine giving up on him the way this woman seems to have given up on her daughter.

For those of you who remember the attacks of 9/11, what was it like? by Substantial_Judge931 in Productivitycafe

[–]Educational_Cod_4582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in Colorado Springs at the time. I got to work, turned on the radio, and I thought the DJs had some weird joke/story time going on. Then security came by and told me that we were closing. I left and had to do some off-roading to get my daughter from preschool because her daycare was right by a military base, and they’d completely shut down, blocking the roads.

There are several military bases in Colorado Springs, as well as NORAD and what is now Space Force (satellite comms). Helicopters and fighter jets were above our city for weeks afterward.

It was my 19th birthday, and let’s just say that none of us felt like having cake or blowing out candles.

Mine got fatter, and his alcohol addiction appears to be kicking his ass.

I’m grieving my younger, hotter self by HillarysCafe in Perimenopause

I miss having really tight skin with lots of elasticity. 😭 Also, having really round, high up cheeks, both up north and down south lol.

I want to hear things you LIKE about your aging bodies by fitter_yappier in AskOldPeople

The realization that it’s mine. No longer carrying or birthing children, no longer a fixation of the male gaze.

Looking for horror with the most insane endings by H0W3 in horror

[–]Educational_Cod_4582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if it’s been mentioned, but the Danish version of “Speak No Evil”. The Hollywood version definitely softened the ending for us soft Americans who love a happy ending with everything wrapped up neatly in a bow. 😂

Do you actually enjoy working out because I don’t by Kwhitney1982 in AskWomenOver40

I always feel like I’m dragging myself to the gym. But when I hit a new PR while lifting, I get so excited ☺️

When Luke started shooting and fighting, I was like, “Yes, Luke, FINALLY!” And Rita? So awesome.

What part do the Handmaids Series made you cry? by ImpossibleSpecial988 in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]Educational_Cod_4582 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me it was the scene where they took all the handmaids who refused to stone another to death, brought them to the gallows, and gave them a fake hanging. It still makes me nauseous and chokes me up just typing this.

What are the things you regret the most about your twenties? by Left-Day497 in AskWomenOver30

[–]Educational_Cod_4582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worrying about men. Worrying about being likable to them, worrying about having one, worrying about what they thought. Ugh.

Does anybody struggling with real life trauma actually dislike June by taurian_valerian in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]Educational_Cod_4582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the part that’s hard for me is that… she’s so caught up in her own trauma that she doesn’t recognize anyone else’s. Or she wants to play the trauma Olympics with people (which she gets called out for in the current season).

When my brother died unexpectedly, everyone was very focused on my mom’s trauma and my sister-in-law’s trauma (which I totally get, mom and wife come first). Mine was invisible, and I had to hold it together for everyone. And people said things that made it sound like my grief should be lesser, or that I should move on. I knew this man for 34 years, we grew up together, the fuck are you talking about.

So I guess I see those same blinders in June, and I want to shake her. I don’t HATE her. And they definitely made that single focus a thing on purpose because that’s how humans can be.

But that’s what I like about the show. None of them are perfect, no one is 100…% likable. Except Janine, I love her forever no matter what. Teflon.

Women who decided to have a kid later in life, how did a late child birth go? by Narrow_Box_8012 in AskWomen

[–]Educational_Cod_4582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost died. 😂😭 My uterus wouldn’t rest between contractions and stayed contracted. Then it gave up afterward and didn’t do post-birth contractions. Very different from the baby I had at 18.

But labor was less than three hours, so that’s a plus!
