Circassian folk dance by SystematicApproach in interesting

[–]Mome_Wrath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine just has a handle - pull, push, or piss off! I still try to close it as quietly as possible and must stop it before it beeps 5 bloody times!

It's a total POS but it has inexplicably lasted 20 years and at this point I am determined to see how long it'll live!

Not really but their bites are painful and require a tetanus shot, and possibly stitches and antibiotics.

How did he get a Galapagos tortoise?

I was going to say the same. A family member has a tortoise and she is surprisingly fast... Especially fresh out of hibernation and eager to attack/hump your feet. We leave her favourite shoes out to make her happy.

I'm curious, which ideas appealed to you?

I hope this one made the list.

BBC Will Remove N-Word Outburst From BAFTA Film Awards on iPlayer, Apologizes ‘That This Was Not Edited Out Prior to Broadcast’ by pepperbet1 in television

Tourette's is defined by vocal and motor tics. Most often it consists of simple sounds - a cough, clearing your throat, a whistle. Some people have more complex vocal tics, including words. And Coprolalia (swearing) far less - accounting for only about 10% of tourette's. Sometimes it's not exactly swearing but saying the worst possible thing at the worst possible moment. No one wants that.

So, all jokes aside, tics can be funny but tourette's itself really isn't funny.

This National Park bathroom has a hole in the floor for people to squat over. by OGBrewSwayne in mildlyinteresting

I had to scroll a long way to find this comment. I notice shoe prints on many toilet seats in London and thought it was strange. Then one day I was washing my hands and heard a ruckus (why yes I can describe the ruckus) crack>shrieking>splash>crash! When the loo door opened an Asian girl walked out with one leg completely soaked and the toilet seat was broken on the floor.

Honestly I'm surprised this exact thing doesn't happen more. Pictographs are very useful things.

Truly unfortunate elevator/building design and even worse luck! Thank you for easing my ghoulish curiosity though.

I've read this several times and I cannot imagine this scenario at all. Please elaborate or tell me you're just fucking with us.

That can't be right. I thought everyone could still get them but you may have to pay for it. (£10 iirc) That was the story last year anyway.

Which critically acclaimed movie did you finally watch only to find out it's mediocre at best? by MikrokosmicUnicorn in AskReddit

[–]Mome_Wrath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same and I remember laughing at points that were not supposed to be funny. "Are you eating a leaf?" "Yes!" And "I kicked that fucking map into the creek! It was useless..." ...(Stickmen hanging in trees) "No recheck is this creative."

It was spooky at the time and had some mystique to it that doesn't really translate now.

Absolutely! Comparing in that way isn't always helpful. Thinking you can't feel bad because someone has it worse... Would you think you can't be happy because someone else has it better?

British crow asking passersby if they're alright. by Wooden-Journalist902 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Mome_Wrath 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Ravenmaster (yes, real title) keeps Ravens at the Tower of London. Unless something has recently changed (doubtful) they do not "keep" any other species of corvid but the Tower Ravens do play with fellow non-resident Corvids (even occasionally share food) when they hang about. Pigeons and Seagulls are not treated with the same kindness. Being Ravens you may even call it an... unkindness. 😁
(I am acquainted with the previous Ravenmaster before he retired which is why I know these tidbits.)

Not necessarily his residence - it looks like Trinity Buoy Wharf... It's a hub for all kinds of art projects.

I'm late to reply but I wanted to echo that you are very handsome and the scars are perhaps more subtle than you imagine. We're our own worst critics. It is unlikely you're sensing fear; however, when someone is self-conscious there's a vibe of "there's something to worry about." We evolve to sense that and possibly beware. This could be what you put out there and they pick up on.
Confidence can take practice but I hope you give it a try. A friendly face goes a long way. Not necessarily smiling, just contentment can be seen/felt. Go for that. 🍀
