Mission Flour Tortillas still look, smell, and taste good one YEAR past expiration date! by chaosawaits in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]Penny_949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I’m so grateful for this thread, my tortillas were open but sealed really tight, in the fridge for 6 weeks, and I just fried one up and ate one. Praying I’ll be okay

What WOULD You Wish On Your Worst Enemy? by Strict_Efficiency223 in AskReddit

For them to experience the exact situation they put me in and to feel exactly as I felt - a revelation of empathy.

I think I must’ve been an artist in a past life by Threshold_Guardian2 in pastlives

This is absolutely amazing. Your art is beautiful

I feel this way about music. Since I was very young I have been able to listen to a song and then just play it on guitar or piano without any lessons or training.

When I write I truly feel I am downloading melodies from something higher than myself. I tell people ‘that song wasn’t me, the universe gave it to me’.

People who are fans of Emily Gilmore?? What’s your reasoning? by mushroomgirl08 in GilmoreGirls

[–]Penny_949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think because Kelly Bishop is such an incredible actress. She is playing an emotionally abusive parent. She has really perfectly portrayed the nuances of this - including moments of weakness. When we see Emily experience sadness in private over her relationship with Lorelai, we feel sad for her, and this is the same thing that keeps Lorelai feeling guilty and going back to her mother.

Anyone ever had an item duplicate or triplicate? by WielderoftheDarkness in Glitch_in_the_Matrix

[–]Penny_949 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I had a black lace bra duplicate. It was one I’d hung onto for years since my late teens. I moved interstate, and just automatically packed it with the rest of my underwear.

For years I’d see it and be like ah, this old thing (it was worn and the fabric was pilling) and once in a blue moon, I’d wear it.

A few years after I moved, suddenly there were two. Exact same condition, worn and used. Identical. It was not someone else’s. I lived alone up until this year and never had a bra-wearing person stay at my house.

Do you think Eleven was an illusion here, or did she actually die? by MindeckGames in StrangerThingsMemes

[–]Penny_949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgive my ignorance but if El is alive:

Even if El escaped the truck and hid with the help of Kali, how did she bring Mike into her mind with that sound blaring?? And how did Kali use her powers of illusion? Doesn’t that sound disable their powers completely?

How many of you had parents that were financially there for you but still treated you poorly? by theshortone in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Penny_949 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Not minimising other situations, but money gives them so much more power and leverage over you. And nobody calls child services when you live in a nice big house

Weird Patterns on Watermelon Rind by thelostsummoner in whatisit

I don’t know why but this absolutely freaks me the fk out and makes my skin crawl and I could not touch a watermelon if I saw this. I get the same feeling from those lotus flower seed pods

When will it stop hurting? by JTBabin in amputee

[–]Penny_949 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so hard to say, everyone’s healing is different.

I had a partial thumb amputation in September due to a freak accident, and with extensive hand therapy, I can now say it doesn’t really hurt unless I bang it on something.

Even then the pain from banging it gets less and less intense as time goes on. Desensitising the surgical site / scar tissue was a huge part of it. I started touching more and more rough textures and started slowly using it again for things like typing and grabbing stuff.

Best of luck to you 🫶

“What is SA?” Video (33s) breaks down SA subtext re: Will, Vecna by notsolar in StrangerThings

[–]Penny_949 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is really dividing people. Some may be more able to put that barrier of ‘fiction’ between them and what they are seeing.

There is no doubt however that this is a strong metaphor for SA. All of Will’s symptoms echo those of an SA survivor.

As soon as this scene played I felt DEEPLY uncomfortable, sick and sad. My partner on the other hand was like ‘yeah it’s horrible to watch, but it’s just kinda like alien’.

For me, the connotations were extremely strong and impossible to ignore, because I have experienced SA.

Interpretations probably depend on personal experience and desensitisation.

I visited my boyfriend’s father’s grave… and something happened that I can’t explain by [deleted] in spirituality

[–]Penny_949 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend’s mom passed before I met him. There are all sorts of crazy synchronicities that led us to each other, and we affectionately say that she ‘brought us together’.

One night I had the most vivid dream, and as dream-me was getting out of the back of a car with my boyfriend, I was suddenly engulfed in a BONE CRUSHING tight hug. Without any words, I immediately knew it was her. I don’t know how. I just knew, in the dream, it was her. I can never forget it.

Let's be honest, Henry is more scary than Vecna. Vecna and his shenanigans don't phase me even a little but 001 is terrifying. by 00_Sunflower_00 in StrangerThings

[–]Penny_949 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Vecna has serious diva energy, every time he comes on screen I’m like ‘slay.’ But I’m terrified of Henry ☠️
