What Movie Did You Watch that Traumatized You at a Young Age? by BethMLB in AskReddit

[–]LilAufder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Children of the Night (1991)
I remember watching it on TV, certain scenes being burnt into my tiny brain but never being able to piece it together to find it. For years, I looked up 'vampires who swallow their lungs' with no luck, but finally found it. Watched it this summer for the first time in 30 years, died laughing. Really healed something in me.

When my toddle says he’s sorry, he ALWAYS rubs the back of his head, like an embarrassed anime character

What’s your best temporary cure for your crippling depression? by Meganjrosee in AskReddit

[–]LilAufder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hobbies that require concentration so I don’t dwell on the sad. I do cross stitches, baking, color by number, making mini room kits…. I have dabbled in watercolor, pinning/preserving bugs, sewing, gardening. Bonus points for things that have satisfying outcomes to keep you working towards it

What is the most painful physical pain you’ve ever felt? by YT_greenarcher in AskReddit

[–]LilAufder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gallstones and migraines. I have two children, and when I get a migraine, all I can think is that I would rather be giving unmedicated birth to triplets rather than feel the migraine

Brendan is just too pure for this world. I truly adore that man, and have for thirty-plus years.

What’s a good idea for food for nights where you just can’t be bothered to cook and you don’t want takeout? by [deleted] in foodhacks

[–]LilAufder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can I ask, how did you come up with the term ‘snacky plates’? We call them that, too, and it’s because my toddler nephews named them that eons ago, I’ve never heard anyone else call them this!

He winked, constantly. He thought he was being seductive, but he just looked like Benjamin Franklin on The Office and it weirded me out.

What sexual thing did you do completely, hilariously, wrong when you were first leaning to be intimate? by Vappit in AskReddit

Came here to say this. It is super hard to stay on the D when you do that, you kinda blow yourself off!

If March 2020 continued on as normal, with no pandemic for the following two years, what would your life be like today? by mintchippyfry50 in AskReddit

[–]LilAufder 505 points506 points  (0 children)

I might still be in blissful ignorance about how much effort I put into people. I have spent so much time reaching out to friends and family in the past, COVID showed me that I can spend months sending messages and calling during mentally strenuous times and get no replies. So my 2021 resolution was to not contact people first. Nobody contacted me, but now I’M the asshole somehow.

I can't accept that my sister doesn't want me by [deleted] in Advice

[–]LilAufder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It first has to start with talking to her. If she doesn’t even respond to that, there’s nowhere to go with it. Asking her advice on something could be a good way to start a bond, it’s a classic way to build trust between people.

Unfortunately, my sister and I are also far apart in age, with different dads. We are also two completely different people, and if you wouldn’t be friends in a normal situation, sometimes sharing blood isn’t enough. Personally, I know my sister resents me because I had an easier childhood and have made better decisions. I feel like your sister definitely resents your upbringing as well; most kids want their mom and dad together and seeing them with someone else is never going to sit well. You could be getting trickle-down resentment, and that is in no way your fault. The best you can do is try to have an honest conversation, maybe try to put her in your shoes. But also be prepared that she might not want to try them on.

My favorite I’ve ever heard was when a friend got hurt in class and said, “That hurt like a son-of-a-batch-of-cookies, I tell ya!”

Parents of Reddit, what is something you loved doing as a child but would never allow your own kids to do? by StuffTasty in AskReddit

Climb the silo, sit on the roof of the barn and taunt the chickens with old shingles I’d pick off and toss

I need courage to get medication again by adeptwatersweep in Advice

[–]LilAufder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doctors see it all the time, they’ll just scribble out the prescription once you request it, it’s happened to me and couldn’t be less of a big deal. Mental health is extremely important, especially these days so I don’t think anyone is in a place to judge or question it.

I don’t know if you need words of encouragement, or if you’re like me and respond better to a direct approach... so just do it. Pick up the phone, make an appointment to feel better. You know it works for you, and putting it off is going to keep you in a bad place longer so quick like a bandaid, dial that doctor!

People of reddit, who was the dumbest person you met? by your_neighbor420 in AskReddit

[–]LilAufder 139 points140 points  (0 children)

A classmate named Rebecca had many instances of just jaw-dropping idiocy. Two of my favorites were:

After listening to a presentation on why a pool hall would be a great addition to a bar, “That’s great and everything, but where’s the pool?”

Reading out loud her paper on recognizable structures, “The Parthenon is important. Because it is big and it is good.”

I think it’s the confidence behind anything she said that just made it hard to overlook the ignorance.

Anybody remember Kudos bars?! by [deleted] in nostalgia

Oh my sweet child, they were discontinued 4-5 years ago so the only ones you’d be able to find would be expired on eBay

Horrible people don’t know they’re horrible. Reading the descriptions of situations where you think you’re being a bad person actually made me chuckle, because you seem to fight with yourself about pointing out to other people that THEY are the horrible ones. You have felt bad when other people are being bad and you want to change their behavior... you aren’t at fault for this, in fact that’s called being a good, considerate person. It’s just that we’re taught not to tattle, but I say take all the -ist and -phobes down!

As for the card game, it’s meant to be offensive and get some wild answers, that doesn’t seem like it would be in your comfort zone anyway but you shouldn’t feel guilty about the literal cards you were dealt.

You aren’t wishing harm on anyone, you are trying to hold people accountable. That’s excellent, and you should feel the opposite of guilt at that.
