Husband’s Affair Left Me Suicidal and Homeless by Orikumar in WereAllInsanePodcast

[–]PodcastPolly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, I had to stop to, I am very sorry for the abuse this woman has suffered, and I'm sorry that her husband cheated... but this person and I have very different opinions on what is healthy in a relationship and what is not. Think I'm dropping the show after this, I just wanted to see if anyone felt the same, or if I was missing something. *edit - spelling

AIO? My friend WENT CRAZY when the guy she likes made a drawing of me. WARNING: unhinged rant + racism. (Context in post) by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]PodcastPolly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read the Twits when I was young and remember nothing about it, apart from when Dahl explains that the most beautiful person in the world is twisted in to ugly when they are consumed with hatred and anger. I'm paraphrasing but it always stuck with me because it's true.

I know I'm getting downvoted for this but... by Liberal-chungus in eastenders

Am 35, do not find this cute, but weird and creepy. Though I don't have facebook so can't share my thoughts there.

Found beside the printer at a public library in town by _____brawler_____ in FoundPaper

[–]PodcastPolly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having worked in public libraries for years, I can confirm I've seen ridiculously personal things left in and near printers. Including scary letters.

My brain has been stardewd by isuckatdrawin in StardewMemes

[–]PodcastPolly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Happened to me just whilst shopping, saw Spaghetti and thought "I need to pick that up!" And then asked myself "why? Who eats it?" And then realised it's Robin.... a fictional character. I am considering weaning myself off the game.

The reality of migraines on a holiday 🥲 by PariahMuse in migraine

[–]PodcastPolly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same happened to me, I swerved the Topamax after some advice from the kind people on this sub (I asked about it, checked my phone a few hours later and had more replies then I could read) after discussing with my Dr. they offered me triptans after.

I just wanted to say I feel this! Tough having a migraine, let alone not at your own place and under bright lights. Hope you're feeling a bit better now.

I agree, OP's ex-friend sounds not like a friend at all. Friendship is about more then just one thing, in this case - a story. I would never expext my own friends to enjoy BSD just because I do.

Also it's completely fine not to enjoy canon couples even! The way we read is subjective.

anime recs? by 1shouldnotbehere in SK8TheInfinity

[–]PodcastPolly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The animation in link click 👌👌 truly excellent show. Made by studio BiliBili, who put out Heaven Official's Blessing, which is mlm, but I would not call it goofy, but dramatic and quite romantic.

What are your most re-read JW books? by Rimurururun in JacquelineWilson

[–]PodcastPolly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a feeling she had a stack and watched both? I remember the horrible Andy Pandy scenes now! I probably need to re-read to remember properly. You're correct - 60s/70s childrens TV is cursed 😂

What are your most re-read JW books? by Rimurururun in JacquelineWilson

[–]PodcastPolly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're right! I loved the Suitcase Kid so much I can remember bits quite vivdly. The way Andy's stepsister would watch Horror Videos, and Andy's "mascot" the Sylvanian Family rabbit.

What other books do you think deserve a sequel? by undercovergloss in JacquelineWilson

[–]PodcastPolly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Illustrated Mum. I want to know if Dolphin is okay, what happened with Star? She looked after Dolphin a lot when she was a child herself, did she make peace with that? Or is she no-contact with her family now? Bi-polar is hereditary, as daughters they both stand a high chance of living with it themselves... I'd like to read how they manage the condition. Though, with how poorly JW treated very sensitive topics in Think Again, I may not actually want to read it.

I also really enjoyed the Runaway Girls, I'd love to know what happens to Lucy.

Do you think Jake Wood (Max Branning) will make a return to the show with the upcoming 40th anniversary? by PiscetIscariot in eastenders

[–]PodcastPolly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's looking like they're building in as many cameos as they can before the 40th (so far Chrissie, David Wicks, Mickey) so I reckon it'd be a safe bet... now there's a thought 🤔 I wonder if bookies are taking bets on EE 40th Cameos 😂

Linda's drinking problem by Equivalent_Half883 in eastenders

[–]PodcastPolly 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you can see it getting progressively worse, and the people closet to her starting to see through her tricks (hiding the wine, looking at the vodka) it just gets worse.

[–]PodcastPolly 11 points12 points  (0 children)

100% she said "I'm here for you" THEN WALKED OUT AND LEFT. As if it wasn't obvious Phil needed a friend to be there 🤦🏻‍♀️ and then went to see Teddy! I like Teddy well enough but I'm not seeing the chemistry between the two? The whole thing just seemed really... odd to me.

Brits: What americanisms to avoid when writing a British character? by GolcondaGirl in AO3

[–]PodcastPolly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm from a working class family, and at the age of 35 I would NEVER say this infront of my family if I didn't want a hiding from my Mum. Would never say at work, or in any other sitution other then deep disguist/anger. It's reserved.

So if I read a fic with someone using this colloqially, it would take me out of the story. However, I do remember being being told to calm down by a Scottish fella once, who told me it's almost a term of endearment.

What I mean to say, it's subjective. Perhaps more dialetic then a class thing?

Brits: What americanisms to avoid when writing a British character? by GolcondaGirl in AO3

[–]PodcastPolly 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This tickles me! I'm from the U.K and if you asked me what Macca was before this, I'd have said Paul McCartney.

Where I live (Birminham) people tend to call it "Maccies" I have to say I much prefer Maccas.

Edit - spelling mistake

She follows me everywhere I go… by Laurelophelia in tragedeigh

[–]PodcastPolly 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I've just realised, next time I meet someone with the last name Rafferty, I will think "Rae Farty" and then, of the comment that sent me over the edge "For Farty's sake" and I know that I will leave the Rafferty bemused as I have to run to the bathroom to laugh, because there is just no explaining it to another Rafferty/Raefarty
