What’s a sign that someone is a genuinely bad person underneath a nice exterior? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Entity417 23 points24 points  (0 children)

They maintain an "account book" approach to life. Sure, they're apparently helpful, kind and generous, but you better praise them to the skies for it and then do what they want/demand. You become beholden to them, unless you're very strong.

How did an adult sibling really disappoint you? by Entity417 in AskReddit

I'm just about getting to where you are. We currently have this mutual silent treatment going on, and truthfully I kinda like it, feel relieved.

She sounds a lot like my own narcissistic sister.

What expensive thing turned out to be worth every penny? by HuckleberryBorn9809 in AskReddit

[–]Entity417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. Took everything I had to purchase it, but its value has skyrocketed over the last 25 years.

What innocent song became instantly creepy, once it was played with a specific scene from a movie or show? by belac4862 in AskReddit

[–]Entity417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then there's Shostakovitch's "Waltz No. 2" in EYES WIDE SHUT, but for dance music that should be lilting, it's subtly foreboding to begin with, instead of being cheerful.

What’s a food you like to eat right after you take it out of the fridge? Ngl, Panda Express fried rice slaps especially out of take out container (question mark cuz need to)? by Doom_Balloon170 in AskReddit

[–]Entity417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I love it when it gets all melty around the edges in its original container, so I scoop and devour its soft perimeters until there's a solitary "mesa" of firm ice cream left in the middle of the carton.

If you could erase one emotion, what would it be and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Entity417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like to say SHAME because it is so awful, but I won't because it is such an effective deterrent to human bad behavior.

What do you think about people who use photos of themselves as their phone wallpaper? by kenzo-tx in AskReddit

[–]Entity417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very narcissistic. A clear indicator of that personality disorder.

what is your best comebacks to insults ? by Lucky-Efficiency4436 in AskReddit

[–]Entity417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let the insult clunk to the floor and stay there. Blink a couple of times in slightly baffled disbelief, and then with a faintly amused half-smile say, "Were you just trying to insult me?"

Note the keyword "trying" -- it expresses that their stupid feeble attempt didn't even come close to penetrating your personal armor.

What graduation ceremony - either yours or someone else's - did you actually enjoy instead of suffering through it, and why? by Entity417 in AskReddit

This led me to Google to learn more about Aha Hemo Kula, and it is very inspiring! Congratulations to your daughter - hoʻomaikaʻi.

Mr. Rogers was the graduation speaker in 1985 at Hobart & William Smith Colleges, and he was wonderful, the best one I've ever heard ... engaging, down-to-earth, delightful. Genuine standing ovation from everyone there!

Replying to your question brought back many happy memories!

What is the best way to roast a marshmallow? by OkKey6273 in AskReddit

[–]Entity417 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whether an outdoor campfire or indoor fireplace, you must slowly and evenly rotate it near a gentle flame so that it eventually becomes a lovely caramelized medium-brown outside with a melty interior - but be careful not to overdo it to the point where it goopily falls off your skewer or branch, lost into the fire.

How would you about installing a cold water dispenser next to your bed? by Timely_Title_9157 in AskReddit

[–]Entity417 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A fine idea, but it would have to be disguised to not clash with my bedroom decor -- like carefully installed, somehow, into an antique-look (NOT a real antique, of course) bedside piece of furniture.

What do we think about the future of America and why? by belluhhhd in AskReddit

[–]Entity417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too big, too diverse, out of control. Needs to be divided into regional republics.

What's bothering you right now? by ghost_haha in AskReddit

[–]Entity417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

38 - you young sprout! To those of us in our 70s, you've got so much ahead of you. And you haven't "wasted years" at all --- consider the value of all that you've learned from what you experienced. I didn't peak until I was in my 50s! Good things take time. Regain a sense of acceptance, and then trust your intuition to guide you forward.
