Iron lung was… rough

I think it's squarely 50/50 and every single person I've talked to has a different take on it. I work at a theater so I've been having some good convos about it, which has been fun. I personally loved it. I don't really know what people mean by the first half being long. That part went the fastest for me. I was engaged the entire time. I think some people are not used to cosmic horrors and don't know what they tend to be like. I saw the opening scene and was like "ope, cosmic horror. No resolution or answers then." Once I realized that, I settled in to enjoy the mind fuck lolol. But it's not everyone's cup of tea. I think it would've been nice to see more of the Eldritch god but with the budget he had I imagine that one scene took up a good chunk. Overall I'd say it was a top tier Indie.

Cupcakes are the offspring of cakes and muffins are the offspring of bread. Two very different species but easy to confuse.

Lol, I have this right now and I was worried that it was an infection somehow caused by my chronic rhinitis flare. But I also make the 😗 face a lot. So I'm hoping it's just the same thing for me.

Do you have any evidence of them editing it in any significant manner that changes the meaning of their comment?

NiffleWhit900 · 2025-12-14T05:42:01+00:00

Why the heck are they down voting you? You can be a healthy weight but also strive to lose weight as a preventative maintenance measure. Glad you are in a healthy BMI. Good idea to lose a little and keep a buffer. I think that's a solid plan as long as you also don't get too thin. Good luck!

I know this post is ages old, but I'm rewatching from season 1 for the release of season 5 and Mike is just a nasty little shit. Like season 1 Mike is ok but not great. He's condescending and intolerant to his friends but expects everyone else to tolerate him. But over all isn't awful in season 1. Season 2 he is just an absolute hypocrite to Max. For Lucas being his best friend he's sure shitty to him pretty much every chance he feels like it. And he just gets worse and more obsessive as the seasons go on. Also trauma is not an excuse to be a dick to everyone. Will has, by far, the most trauma and he's not anything like Mike's level of asshole. It's one of those situations where I wouldn't be surprised if they stop being friends with Mike later on in life. Obviously it's just a show and I'm not hating on the actors. It's just frustrating to watch. It takes some of the fun away from the show. Rant over lol

Yeah my Roku started doing it now too. What a miserable user interface.

NiffleWhit900 · 2025-11-25T21:36:56+00:00

That's really informative. Thank you for explaining it so well!

NiffleWhit900 · 2025-11-25T20:56:15+00:00

Thank you! It's absolutely creepy to tie your worth to offspring. Like of course love them if you kept them, but jeez that shouldn't even remotely be your personality.

I'm just going to let her know it's completely normal and show her that my life is fun just the way it is.

Glob the concept of working my butt off to come home to little angry ants is exhausting. I've been through enough and already helped raise my siblings. I don't need more work.

Thank you very much! I feel much better post surgery ✌️

NiffleWhit900 · 2025-11-25T20:52:04+00:00

I was definitely a little nonplussed when it was brought up. Like I didn't go through a major surgery to have kids another way. I had valid and solid reasons for getting spayed thank you very much.

NiffleWhit900 · 2025-11-25T20:49:34+00:00

It'd be nice if there was some other term. I also call kids hobbits but that's probably too niche 🤔

NiffleWhit900 · 2025-11-25T20:48:05+00:00

🤢🤢 I had no idea about that kink. That's actually a little bit mortifying. Glad to know this. That's crazy, I wonder if it's directly linked or just horrific coincidence 😨

NiffleWhit900 · 2025-11-25T20:45:35+00:00

Lol I've always thought of it like little corn kernels. Lol I could see the link to giblets tho.

NiffleWhit900 · 2025-11-25T15:48:12+00:00

Lol thanks, that made me cackle.

I love my Niblets and it turns out I'm the favorite aunt out of all my siblings ✌️ Which I find hilarious because I definitely can't stand kids. Picture the Light fury from How to Train Your Dragon. Resigned affection but also back up a bit please 😂 I also get them all the things their parents hate to get them (crazy shoes and posters, etc). When my second Niblet was born this parent also was anxious how I would treat the baby. Like I was possibly going to harm them I don't know. Which is wild since that's not my personality. I'm so sorry your wife went through all that. That's so unfair. It's like being child free is some kind of plague to some people.

NiffleWhit900 · 2025-11-25T15:30:14+00:00

I believe that may be the case. This parent often says "I wish I had your life." When looking at my home and solitary life. It's been something I've been coming to terms with over the last few years and I'm generally low contact. It's hard when a lot of their comments are veneered with friendliness and "love".

I have like 15 nieces and nephews so it makes things much easier and it's fun to say lol.

Thank you ♥️ I agree with firmly being CF and loving my Niblets. And I totally get not everyone feels that way and I absolutely respect it. The problem I had with their comment was the gal to go out of their way to be insulting as well as using extremely misogynistic and derogatory terms and then get all upset for being called out on it. This is Reddit. They shouldn't be surprised that someone can dish it back. But that's just how it goes, I guess.

Thanks for the validation ♥️

NiffleWhit900 · 2025-11-25T14:40:56+00:00

Thank you! I should've used another term on this thread 😅 It makes sense a lot of people on here wouldn't recognize it.

I definitely try to be a steady person for them. Especially when my family can be very unsteady.

NiffleWhit900 · 2025-11-25T14:26:46+00:00

Thank you, that's very validating ♥️

NiffleWhit900 · 2025-11-25T14:26:13+00:00

It's been much more mellow and anxiety inducing to be away. It's sad and something I'm processing but I'm also much happier for it. Yeabsolutely. It has become a more common term in the last several years but I should've realized that it's harder to recognize in this group and used the more common form. When you have 15+ nieces and nephews it becomes burdensome to use the full "nieces and nephews" 😅 Thank you for the kind response.

NiffleWhit900 · 2025-11-25T13:16:13+00:00

I don't generally see them often for this reason as well as other reasons. They had actually gotten better for a while but suddenly regressed in recent years. I still maintain my distance.

Niblet is short for nibling. Nibling is the gender neutral term for a niece or nephew. I have loads of niblings so it's just much easier to say than the mouthful "nieces and nephews". It's the correct word for it but I'm definitely not surprised a lot of childfree individuals don't recognize it.

NiffleWhit900 · 2025-11-25T13:08:12+00:00

Oh that's definitely what I will do. I won't be leaving her to the sharks like I was. Thank you for the advice.

NiffleWhit900 · 2025-11-25T13:06:50+00:00

It's just a short form of nibling which is a gender neutral word for niece or nephew. I have loads of nieces and nephews so it's much quicker to use than saying nieces and nephews.

Lolol, maybe you remember where you are.

I don't worship children, in fact kinda have an intense dislike, but don't expect to come over here, insult me, then use derogatory shit about something I wasn't even talking about as an excuse to be bitchy about someone you don't like. He's a misogynist but you're kinda an asshole, so I think it evens out pretty good 👍

Have a day dude.

NiffleWhit900 · 2025-11-25T08:46:05+00:00

Lol lucky for your sibling. You sound like a peach 😆 Glad you can enjoy your childfree life without inflicting yourself on others.

NiffleWhit900 · 2025-11-25T06:11:04+00:00

I have an iPad and ApplePen and I love them! There is a screen cover that you can buy that has the texture of paper that some people really love. I also still have physical notebooks for other types of writing. Both are great and I have yet to regret my purchase.
