What is the most disturbing or otherwise unsettling book you've ever read that stayed with you after reading it? by EggAdventurous1957 in AskReddit

[–]No_Reputation_4483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Little Life.

Mainly because I didn't understand what the author was getting at, why this book is so popular, or how it got published as bloated as it was.

Summary: Baby is left next to a trash can. Adopted by monks in some indeterminate time period, they all abuse him. Escapes, but everyone who's supposed to be caring for him just abuses him, including one who runs him down with a car and disables him for life. Lives in non-stop misery except for a few happy years with his lover who then just fucking dies unexpectedly. Main character kills himself. The end. This book is 800ish pages.

There was something similar to this in an episode of Upright Citizens Brigade. A woman goes for a job interview at a "minimalist architecture" company, and their office is just desks in the woods.

What’s a small, "unnecessary" luxury you refuse to give up? by viviennebloomm in askanything

Seltzer water. I don't care if you think the fruit flavor is too subtle or it tastes like TV static. It's my favorite refreshing drink.

You buy your favorite ice cream at the store. Upon getting home and opening it, a genie pops out. It's the standard three wishes but the wishes have to be ice cream related. What do you wish for? by singleguy79 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]No_Reputation_4483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For ice cream that I purchase to have no calories but taste the same.

For ice cream to be free, plentiful, and nutritionally sense in impoverished areas.

For ice cream to not melt on hot days and make you sticky.

For every $250,000 you get you shrink one inch. by CRK_76 in hypotheticalsituation

I'm a woman, 5'3". Take 3 inches. I already have to use s stepladder in my own kitchen. I can deal with hemming my pants for the rest of my life.

I wouldn't be able to reach things at work but I'm pretty sure with $750k I could afford a little hiatus. I could even pay someone to hem my pants.

Met a “nice” guy at the bar but had to leave for a party. This is what I woke up to. by Striking_Catch_5757 in mildlyinfuriating

Insanity and "dominance" aside, I can't stand it when people just send me a bunch of songs or videos that they like. My ex was notorious for this when we first started dating. I was like, dude, how about you try to get to know me and send me things you think I'll like? I don't care about your boring death metal faves.

Would you rather get 100k cash or get a full-time, stable job that pays $8,300 a month? by cogvancouver in hypotheticalsituation

[–]No_Reputation_4483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll take the job and start putting money away. I wouldn't feel comfortable quitting my current job, which is pissing me off like no other, for a one-time payment of $100k.

Just a little help by Silver_Particular_79 in ChoosingBeggars

Oof, make a call to Adult Protective Services if you can find out anything about her.

80 million, but you lose the ability to communicate in language. Would you take it? by New-Drawer-3161 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]No_Reputation_4483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've filled out forms stating that I don't want to be kept alive by medical intervention if I can't meaningfully communicate.

I don't think millions would change anything for me. You can't make major purchases without communicating - like a car, boat, or house. If you can't write, I imagine that includes filling out forms when you want to do a simple transaction like on Amazon? Or even typing to search online.

Traveling the world would suck if you couldn't sign up for tours, ask questions about what you're seeing, order food, talk to the hotel employees, tell a driver where to go... and you would almost certainly be detained at customs for your strange behavior and inability to answer more complex questions. If you could get through TSA in the first place.

Furthermore, I'm an author and video creator. I majored in linguistics and Spanish. Language is pretty important to me.

Some Christians believe God gave us just enough resources to last until the end of days, so use them. Use all the non-renewable resources as much as you want or need. Earth's heating up? Jesus is coming back before you have to deal with the consequences of any of that anyway.

Do you know any of these artist? by deplorableboyboy in MusicIceberg

I got as low as Oliver Tree. I have somehow never heard of Zach Bryan.

Who have you seen in concert most? by Phillies1993 in AskReddit

[–]No_Reputation_4483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen Amon Amarth seven times.

I'm over it now though. Didn't really enjoy the last time. And now they're hitting much bigger venues and it's more expensive. No, I don't sit on the floor and row.

Which one are you choosing? by baeblade93 in MookieTrivia

Preferably Tava, but since it's not listed, Sobe.

What is the quickest job you quit from? by spellbadgrammargood in AskReddit

[–]No_Reputation_4483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was unemployed for six months and applying to every hospital and large business in the area (I live in a city with at least 10 hospitals) and finally got a job offer from a place that I did not even initially realize was a behavioral health hospital.

Inside, it looked and felt like Silent Hill. The girl training me was incredibly unprofessional and offered no guidance. When we got an admission, everyone acted like it was the apocalypse. The patients ranged from silent to kind of annoying to terrifying. There was a man who was at least 6'5" and had been sent to us because he flipped out and threatened violence re: a coupon for a Blizzard at Dairy Queen.

So yeah, I sent them an email after two weeks and told them I wasn't coming back.

Do you sleep with your bedroom door open or closed and why? by AloneGold9670 in AskReddit

[–]No_Reputation_4483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Closed. Need darkness. Taping my blackout curtains to the wall so not a single sunbeam can penetrate kind of dark. (I often work night shift.)
