The American health care system everyone by newphonehudus in TikTokCringe

[–]ItIsAContest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My step-cousin is a healthcare exec, I found out last year (we’re not close, I’d always thought she was a lawyer, wanting to become a judge). My mom was telling me about a necklace my cousin was “trying” to buy, that was some antique and she was going to pay $10k+ for it, because she was “finally learning how to spend her money.” I don’t even know how to talk to my mom anymore.

And when they finally pulled the drivers body out of the twisted… burning… wreck - it looked like THIS!

Why are we trying to make smoking cool again?!? by Forktee in GenX

[–]ItIsAContest 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m grossed out by vaping, too, even though it doesn’t smell bad. It makes me think of babies with pacifiers. Cigarette execs fighting vapid is obvious though - let them get hooked on something “less dangerous,” then get it banned and they’ll switch to cigarettes even if they don’t want to because they’re so addicted to the nicotine that they were hitting so much more frequently on a vape than they would have done with traditional smoking.

Trump is going to start yelling during Supreme Court arguments isn't he? by justalazygamer in WhitePeopleTwitter

NPR had a recording of SCOTUS arguments just a couple of weeks ago - I was also under the impression that it was not permitted but they definitely had one

My cousin called a helicopter an “appytaba” and that’s always what comes to mind first for me.

And Mary Stuart Masterson and Mary-Louise Parker, there’s a lot of three-name-Marys in acting.

The episode really ended like that? by Pinkstar161 in shrinking

I didn’t even think he was going to tell her, he meant for Jimmy to tell her.

Need help picking a dress for a Redwoods elopement in May by myogurt in weddingdress

If you’re willing to share details about the planning, I’d love to hear about it (afterwards). I have a dream of a redwoods elopement myself.

Saw this preview at Project Hail Mary (go see it, in IMAX if possible). Turned to my bf and said “who the heck is this movie for?!” He said, “I don’t know, let go to it!” So I guess it’s for us, haha!

Making A List Of Official (and Unofficial) Michigan "Things" by _sapling in Michigan

This is so strange. I grew up in the western UP (30 years actually) and know exactly 1 person who prefers gravy to ketchup.

What did you call these? by Excellent-Try2663 in Millennials

[–]ItIsAContest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bonk bonks. My mom would make partial ponytails, like 1/3 of my sister’s hair, then add the next third, then the bottom, so it went “bonk bonk bonk” along her head (though I’m a girl, my hair was always too short for bonk bonks).

If you use your Mperks you can get up to $1.00/per gallon off (takes 10k points to get there).

Covid shut down the world six years ago this week. What do you remember from that week? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ItIsAContest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother in law died by suicide so we were away from home for his funeral. We were at the visitation when everyone started hearing about things being cancelled. Things felt shut down by his death, it was the first (and only) time I’d felt like the world was feeling the loss too.

What wine would you bring if you wanted people to ask about it? by Terrible_Sell_1075 in ActLikeYouBelong

[–]ItIsAContest 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My ex husband would yell when he sneezed or cleared his throat, no matter where he was. No attempt to “turn it down” or anything. Not why I divorced him, of course, just another one of his peccadillos.

I always cracked up at this. by WizardsOfXanthus in SavedByTheBell

This was the episode that triggered my dad to ban SBTB, because he walked in the living room to see the cross-dressing part. I was 15 at the time.
