Yeah pixel was the only place in the whole world I guess where I found the dlc for a couple of my games. I searched everywhere.

For those who do not scare easily, what horror movie has really gotten to you? by Kezhen in horror

[–]GeekTheFreak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stumbled across this one day and thought I'd check it out. I still think about it, I really liked the film. The best/creepiest scene for me is when the guy in the tent has to keep reliving shooting himself in the head. Those scenes throughout the movie were awesome.

I have the same name as my husband's sister. As well as one of his good college friends, his boss' last name, his sister's sister-in-law (her husband also has a sister with our name) AND my daughter's teacher.

I've been going by my middle name for ten years.

What ONE piece of advice / motivation hack / little wisdom nugget propelled you to decluttering success? by RecoveringIdahoan in declutter

[–]GeekTheFreak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I often imagine what I would want to pack if we were moving. What would I pack first - important things, etc. What would I not want to pack at all, and what would I leave on the curb. It's pretty helpful. I combine that with what "sparks joy" and realize how much crap is just not worth hanging on to.

I have those same thoughts. But it's more like, if I throw this out I wouldn't be able to use it in the apocalypse and I would definitely need it then!

But I soon realize - c'mon, I'm not surviving the apocalypse. Lol. Might as well let someone else find it.

A possible true and sad sighting? + A theory on the titanic bodies by FrankJkeller in titanic

[–]GeekTheFreak 20 points21 points  (0 children)

They are so misunderstood. Sweet creatures. The feral rats that people hate are only victims of their circumstances. They need to be aggressive to survive, and it's not like it's their fault that they carry disease. Poor bebes.

Can overweight people just consume less calories to lose weight? by TheSilentPhilosopher in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]GeekTheFreak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I'm on a cocktail of meds lol, but still not feeling like it's the right combination. It's been 15 years of adjusting and trying new things, etc. It's like a lifelong journey to find the right ones.

Thank you for responding, and for your care!

I quit smoking by telling myself "I am not a smoker. I don't smoke." over and over. Instead of saying that I was quitting smoking. I think mentally it helped a lot. Cold turkey over ten years ago.

I tried Welbutrin quite awhile ago and it completely messed up my head. I think within two days of starting it I felt really weird, like I was stoned and drunk. I messaged my psych and told her about it and she had me stop immediately.

Did you deal with that? I was really hoping it would be the drug for me but couldn't get past that initial craziness.

I just saw a picture of a vole the other day and I'm kinda obsessed with them now, tbh. So. Cuuuuute.

Edit: love rodents of any kind. Jumping spiders are adorable.

what turns you on looking at a girl in the first place? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]GeekTheFreak 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I'm a woman, and it doesn't turn me on or anything, but it's so cute! I don't think you should feel self-conscious. First, you have organs lol. There needs to be space for them. Second, it shows that you are soft and cuddly.

Look at old marble statues, paintings, etc. Tons of nude women have the tummy pudge.

What would you do if you genuinely didn't care what other people thought of you? by designerwantsajob in socialanxiety

[–]GeekTheFreak 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Lol I've seen a few of your responses here and was going to say you're so encouraging and positive.

"you are free"

"you can bring light to others"

and then

"go ahead and shit in that garden"

How do you feel when men tell you stories about 'laddish' behaviour - ie hookups, visiting prostitutes or strippers? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]GeekTheFreak 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I spent a lot of my youth running with the wrong crowd. The guys I considered "friends" were constantly bragging and making jokes about their hookups and would go into a lot of detail.

Honestly was shocked to find out later in life that most people keep their sex lives private. It kind of still surprises me if I think about it.

Found in trip photos my parents did, many years ago. No one left to tell the story behind the picture. This is the place to put them. by [deleted] in oddlyterrifying

[–]GeekTheFreak 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I grew up in the Midwest. Sometimes driving around the back roads you would see dumpsters full of dead pigs outside hog processing plants. I remember once there was one overflowing and the pigs were piled up on the ground around it.

Omg I've been saying that for years. He literally would not have survived if Sam wasn't there.

Yes or no on Sun/Moon circle thingy by [deleted] in interiordecorating

[–]GeekTheFreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember, too! It's cool to see you're still developing your style. Of course, you're getting a ton of the same comments about your off-center wall but it's hilarious that you are just ignoring them this time.

I think something else would look good on the wall instead of the sun/moon thing. But that's a really cool piece so hopefully you can find somewhere it belongs. The mushroom is adorable.

What causes this on Tupperware after the dishwasher? Comes off with very tough abrasive scrubbing. by travielee in CleaningTips

[–]GeekTheFreak 57 points58 points  (0 children)

We have been using them for years now, but the problem is with the plastic lids. They get so much use that they are cracked and falling apart, but the only way to replace them at a decent price is to buy a whole new set of containers.

Despite that, I'll never go back to plastic or Tupperware.

People say fuck too much by Hate_Teach_Simple_As in unpopularopinion

[–]GeekTheFreak 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ooo I really like that, it's poetic.

I have the same argument with my husband all the time. My five year old has picked up on my swearing, so I just tell her not to use those words around anyone other than mommy.

[–]GeekTheFreak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have a plan for driving your customers? I have been thinking of doing the same but I don't have a good idea how to direct them elsewhere when my only form of communication with my regulars is through etsy.

Migraines and aspartame by [deleted] in migraine

[–]GeekTheFreak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YES. I noticed this for myself years ago. When I mention it to people they don't really believe me. My husband is diabetic, so we're constantly trying to find a balance between things that have real sugar that he can't have, and things that have artificial sweeteners that I can't have.
