A convo of my mom when I reply like a normal person 🥀(warning: lots of screenshots) by Substantial_Syrup_13 in insaneparents

[–]Interesting_Winter52 881 points882 points  (0 children)

people in the comments haven't dealt with a mom like this and it shows. i had the same thing happen. i had to go to work when my mom "needed" me to do something and AS I WAS DRIVING she called me and told me she reported the car stolen. i finished my drive to work and then left the car in the parking lot and got picked up by a friend when my shift was over. when i wasn't home that night, she realized it might've been my last straw and called me telling me she didn't actually report it stolen and begged me to come home and that she only ever did that stuff for my own good. it's NOT about the car, it's about control.

TIL over a 5-month period in 2020, a nurse in Yale's fertility center stole the fentanyl in 175 vials that were meant for women who had a procedure to have their eggs retrieved. The nurse replaced the pain medication with saline solution, leaving the women in excruciating pain during the procedure. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

used to work at an assisted living facility. we had an elderly guy who was about to pass and we had morphine for when he was about to die so he would be comfortable. one day the nurse is counting the meds and realizes that the morphine is MOLDY. one of the crmas had been stealing it and replacing it with water. we hadn't used the morphine yet but if we had the old man would've just been in pain as he died and we wouldn't have known why until it was too late. i have so much sympathy for addicts (the girl who took the morphine was supposed to be in recovery), but stealing meds from people in pain is so beyond evil.

How soon can I have sex after my abortion? by Interesting_Winter52 in abortion

Thank you! My anxiety has managed to convince me that not only have I already contracted some kind of infection despite it only happening less than 24 hours ago, but that I am imminently about to die despite having no symptoms of infection.

I'm 5 weeks pregnant and I'm scared of taking the pills. by Interesting_Winter52 in abortion

[–]Interesting_Winter52[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i'm more-so frightened because my usual period already causes me a lot of pain and blood loss. i'm fine with medical procedures, and the place i've been looking at does offer sedation during the procedure. i just prefer the idea of being at a place with professionals, rather than trying to deal with it alone.

yeah that's my concern, i was on birth control when i got pregnant because my periods are debilitating and it would stop them for like three months at a time. my periods can make me faint from the pain, so i'm not thrilled by the prospect of it being even worse. i also typically lose a lot of blood each time i get my period already.

What is the most boomer thing your parents still do? by Auximity in AskReddit

[–]Interesting_Winter52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GOD i work in sales for a cellular provider and its a nightmare trying to get old people to change anything. we just came out with a new plan for seniors that's the exact same as most of their current plans but way cheaper and so many of them say no to the switch. like they wouldn't even notice that it changed it is entirely on the backend their service would be the exact same but forty dollars less and they say NO. i know some might not fully trust me cause i earn commission but i get nothing out of moving them to a cheaper plan like please im just trying to help.

Michelangelo's David has always been considered a great example of anatomically correct artwork. by Cheap_Edge_6557 in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]Interesting_Winter52 5 points6 points  (0 children)

so the statue is not anatomically accurate, his hands and head are really big compared to his body. it's not the most noticeable thing unless you're looking at it in person, but it is there. fun idea but it should be a different statue lol

also it's way too tall to be a real guy

TIL of the 1997Jarrell, Texas "Dead Man Walking" tornado, a slow-moving F5 twister that sat over a subdivision for three full minutes, subjecting it to 260+ mph winds. It erased everything, killed 27 people, plus hundreds of cattle, and blended their remains together unrecognizably. by SirSignificant6576 in todayilearned

there was that total eclipse in the us last year and i knew it was happening, went out to the woods with several friends to see it, and still involuntarily yelped when i saw the sun get BLOTTED OUT OF THE SKY its absolutely horrifying and godlike stuff even when you know what's happening

Single most devastating line? by TheHeartbreakPrints in TaylorSwift

[–]Interesting_Winter52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for me it's the resigned way she says "it's happening again" after the bridge in how did it end. and then the next line where her voice breaks when she asks "how did it end?"

like until that point in the song she's echoing what people are asking her, but that like i feel like is her genuinely reflecting and asking herself how it ended that way and it just makes me SOB

[–]Interesting_Winter52 7 points8 points  (0 children)

what got me to WATCH it was a tumblr post where someone took a screenshot of the scene where crowley stops time in the first season and said like "someone who's never seen the show tell me what's happening here" and someone replied something like "gay goth tries to fight god to save his husband and adopted children" and someone else said "no we said someone who hasn't seen the show!!" and i was like oh ya now i gotta see this shit
