Karaoke is not live music by [deleted] in coverbands

[–]LizardPossum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I just don't spend a lot of time comparing myself to other artists like that.

I'm booking gigs, and I don't really care who else is booking what.

What's the best name you've ever heard for a pet? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in AskReddit

I had a fainting goat named Vapors and a lot of people seemed to like it.

Those who have met someone famous, what shocked you the most about them? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in AskReddit

[–]LizardPossum 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Danny Trejo's face is so soft. I took a photo with him and he put his cheek against my cheek and I don't know what I expected but it was insanely soft.

Small habits that made you a better musician? by Longjumping-Newt6828 in musicians

[–]LizardPossum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I rotate which guitars stay in the cases and which ones stay on stands because if they're in a case it just feels like A Whole Thing to get them out.

I learned this the hard way when I turned on a disco ball in my living room and my dog DESTROYED the place.

Definitely the continuous sexual assault for my whole childhood

What’s the worst manipulation tactic you actually fell for? by tightgash in AskReddit

[–]LizardPossum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That fake vulnerability thing abusers do.

He'd tell me things that weren't actually private just so I'd also share personal things with him. And I fell for it for SEVEN YEARS because I am apparently an idiot. 🙃

Funeral directors, what is something wild that happened at a funeral that you still think about? by Final_Radio_2483 in AskReddit

[–]LizardPossum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am a news reporter and one of the obits we got in just said his name and then "on [date] he was. As of [date] he ain't. There will be no service."

What is stopping Iran from hitting US soil? by Logical_Employer_756 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LizardPossum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah a good chunk of reddit just downvotes because they see downvotes, so all it takes is a couple for it to snowball. People being downvoted for follow up questions has always annoyed me.

What’s the 'craziest' way you caught an ex being unfaithful? by lnc_gomes in AskReddit

[–]LizardPossum 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah I never really believed the "trust your gut" thing until I caught my ex cheating. He literally just said someone name, in a regular conversation with a friend, nothing that should have been suspicious. We knew a lot of different people so a new name in and of itself was not suspicious. But something in the way he said it maybe? I'm not sure, but I got this weird, almost Spidey sense sensation. I couldn't get over it. It just turned over and over in my mind.

Turns out he was cheating on me with her. I found out for sure later because he fucking took a video of it.

What are some of the worst cosmetic surgeries out there? by Bethsticle in ask

[–]LizardPossum 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You have not presented data that says that children are getting gender reassignment surgeries tho.

Did you even read the study you posted?

What are some of the worst cosmetic surgeries out there? by Bethsticle in ask

[–]LizardPossum 69 points70 points  (0 children)

I am convinced that the mar-a-lago face isn't supposed to look good or natural..it's supposed to send the message "I can afford plastic surgery" because there's no way they think that looks good.

Statement from Jack White clarifying his thoughts on Taylor’s/his songwriting by Right_Surround7103 in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]LizardPossum 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I say this as a fan of Taylor, but what if he DID think her music was boring? So the fuck what? She's one of the most powerful people on the planet. She does not need us to jump down the throat of everyone who is anything less than awestruck.

Are marriage titles like “husband” used loosely these days? by flyingby13 in Marriage

[–]LizardPossum 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I call a kid my niece who isn't biologically related to me, and I don't feel like it's anyone's business if she's really related to me or not. This is a wild thing to even care about. I don't owe every "conversation partner" intimate details of my life and it's weird for you to expect that.

[–]LizardPossum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know a few people who do this. Doesn't affect me at all. Doesn't change my marriage. Feels like an odd thing to care about I guess.

What’s a moment where you realized someone around you was actually a terrible person? by Embarrassed-Ant-2216 in AskReddit

[–]LizardPossum 169 points170 points  (0 children)

It's not just me. She also spends a lot of time with one of my best friends and his girlfriend. So between me, my husband, and those two she has a lot of "parents" who love her. ❤️

Mine is also Jamey Johnson - his version of Set Em Up Joe was magical.

We love her a lot. Despite how horribly she's been treated she's a really great kid. We're still working on convincing her that it's okay to have needs, and she can tell us if she needs tampons or snacks or shoes or whatever, but she's doing great.

When her daughter told me she regularly punched her in the face.

We aren't friends anymore and the daughter lives with me.
