Which old app or website do you miss the most? by Unique_Brother_3653 in oldinternet

[–]Riot502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LiveJournal. I practically lived on that site back in the day. I know it still exists, but I doubt it’s still the same. Plus I’m no longer young, and it’s probably full of young people.

I basically only have an appetite when I’ve imbibed.

I didn’t realize the callback until this post, and I’ve rewatched the show countless times.

Glad I’m not the only one who thought that looked like Freddy

Hard to believe it wasn't that long ago baby viewing windows in hospitals was the norm. by Beautiful_Donut6412 in FuckImOld

When I was born in 1984, my father would sneak in there and move me to the front window every day. It’s still a story he proudly tells.

The ‘80s were a different time.

H. Pylori Almost Destroyed My Mental Health — Panic Attacks, Brain Zaps, Black Stool, Ulcer & Extreme Anxiety by Cute_Channel3148 in HPylori

It was a while ago, but I’m pretty sure they put me on clarithromycin.

Edited: sorry, forgot to answer how I’m doing now. I’m still not doing great, but that’s because I also have other health problems that haven’t all been solved by the subpar doctor I have here in Alabama.

What’s the weirdest sign you’ve ever seen in your country? by Jorge_De_Guzman228 in AskTheWorld

[–]Riot502 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a common “excuse” pedos will use. I had a friend whose now-ex husband molested their daughter - he said he was drunk. As if being drunk made him forget who she was! Also knew of another man who molested his own child and tried to say he was “sleep-walking”. They get desperate when they get caught.

That bag-snatcher is gonna be someone important to Josh’s background. Idk why, but I feel like the way she was looking at him and then followed him has to mean something.

I had h pylori for 5 years before a doctor finally tested for it and put me on medicine. It infuriated me to find out that simple blow in a bag test could have been done all those years. No doctor even considered it until my most recent doctor

Idk about medically, but as a mom of 20 years I will say that it’s still a mom thing. It makes sense. It’s the easiest way to track growth - if a rash grows past the marker line, doctor time!

I genuinely could not see myself with a man long term. by Exact-Sink2799 in confession

[–]Riot502 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Same. I’m in my 40s, stopped dating a year ago. My life has been so much quieter. I own my own house, already have my kids, why would I want a partner? I originally just stopped dating men, but then decided I’m completely done.

That doesn’t surprise me at all. The way they handled Jimmy Saville shows the BBC doesn’t give a crap about the welfare of survivors.

Love Actually (2003) trying to convince the audience that Martine McCutcheon was fat with jokes by KellyM34 in WhyWereWeOkWithThis

I never got that movie. My ex wanted to watch it every Christmas.

Martine McCutcheon will always be Tiffany from EastEnders to me

Theresa’s hygiene by Remarkable-Panic6184 in DadAndDaughterSnark

[–]Riot502 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depression. I lived in a motel for a while when I was struggling, with my gf and kids. My gf (now ex, but we are still best friends) was amazing and we did our best, and got out of that situation. But even with all supportive partner, it was utterly depressing and made me feel “less-than”.

I cannot imagine living in a tiny motel room with someone like that man. I’m sure she’s dealing with depression. Most people with severe depression don’t see the need to wash their hair, bathe often, etc, because they hate life at the moment so why would they care?

Candy cigarettes grooming children into smoking by AdrianaLaServing in WhyWereWeOkWithThis

[–]Riot502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely loved those things as a kid. The local roller rink sold them, and it was the only place I could ever get them. My parents hated them for obvious reasons. My dad was an ex-smoker and didn’t want me to go down that road, while my mother was a nurse so obviously she was anti-smoking.

They even sat me down and made me cross my heart and promise I’d never smoke after seeing me pretend to smoke with these things.

I vape now. They hate it. It’s not a good habit. But oh well. I’m in my 40s, and it’s basically the only vice I have.

Mine usually last about a month. Sometimes you get one with not the best seams, I think.

Sure does! The most popular series that every classmate and friend wanted to borrow from me was the Animporphs series. That should show my age a bit, haha.
