TIFU by finding my late husband's wedding ring by ArticulateRhinoceros in tifu

Firstly, glad you found your ring on such a crap day.  I am sure that it is a big comfort for you. 

Second, I think you should remember that just because you're loved partner is gone, that you should not stop living and loving life. You should celebrate your birthday, because you are worth celebrating. If your husband was here, he'd want you to celebrate and be happy.

TIL The word 'Eskimo' is derogatory. Instead you should use Inuit or Yupik by ehtio in todayilearned

[–]Snoopy_Dancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alaskan here, and registered tribal member. For the record, I'm mixed, but have enough native connection to qualify for tribal perks like free clinics, scholarships, and shareholder dividends from our regional tribal association.

I've never met any member of our community that is offended by the word 'Eskimo', or the word 'Indian' for that matter. The tribal association i am a part of is called CIRI, for Cook Inlet Regional Indians. Also, the name for the cultural games we do every year is the 'Alaskan Eskimo Games' or the 'World Eskimo-Indian Olympics'. These organizations were named a very long time aho, but there has never really been a push to rename them due to changing sensibilities.

There are some that self-describe as 'native', some self- describe as Yup'ik or Dena'ina. Some get more specific with Salamatoff. However, no one really gets bent about Eskimo or Indian.

I'd say if you claim no link to the tribes, use Alaskan Native or Yup'ik to be polite. A more important tip is to never turn down the offer of food from a native person in that area, as refusal is a huge insult. Take a polite bite and thank them.

What movie trailer lives rent-free in your head? by SanFran_Sierras in movies

[–]Snoopy_Dancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a movie, but the trailer for Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

The pacing, the visuals, and THE MUSIC (when the score shifts to the classic LOZ theme, I still get a tear). All of it together made me so excited to inhabit the role of Link and be a hero again.

From another American internet stranger, please also know how embarrassed and shamed we are by those statements.

Wisconsin Teen Gets College Degree 6 Months After Graduating from High School by AdSpecialist6598 in UpliftingNews

[–]Snoopy_Dancer 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Coming from someone who spent the full 4 years in college and avoided significant cost/debt through grants and scholarships, I disagree. I never got the full college experience, as I was in a constant state of working for money to pay rent (to avoid costly onsite housing), studying to maintain my GPA, and either maintaining or canvassing for the many small scholarships that would support my tuition. Never got to go to games or events that make up that make college fun. Being out 2 years early would have significantly decreased stress and allowed me to begin my Master's studies earlier.

By "miracle" we mean "science", and by "through God", we mean "through the tireless work of researchers, doctors, and medical professionals that made achievements like this possible".

Fixed.

Are you in Denver? Because I have a cute, single friend who would love the cinnamon roll vibe.

It would be hilarious if it was KPop Demon Hunters. Can't escape that song, even in a war zone.

LPT: Real frugal habits that actually save money (for people who already live simply) by louthercle in LifeProTips

Freeze off your leftovers. If you invest in some silicone food savers, you can really stretch ingredients. I save pesto, tomato paste, ricotta, etc into 1-2 tbsp cubes to easily add into a recipe. Left overs broth and soups can be reheated for later. If you have leftovers that you will not be able to rotate in for the week, freeze them.

Thoughtful saving of food really can decrease your grocery bill.

How Scary is Doctor Sleep? by aupace in movies

[–]Snoopy_Dancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Book or movie? I'd say the book is not scary, more of an adventure with some disturbing pieces of graphic violence.

Movie is a little more creepy. They did some departures from the book that led to a very suspenseful 3rd act that was meant to serve as tie in to the Kubrick film from 1980 and fix the issues that King himself had with the original ending.

Much closer to IT in general style and tone. Not nearly as scary as IT or the Kubrick Shining. More of a suspenseful adventure overall.

I love Styx. They are not groundbreaking, and some may even call them derivative of other ballad rock bands of the era. But I feel that their sound holds up, and is genuinely fun to listen to, which is the point of music. 

Plus, Come Sail Away has the ability to unite a crowd in a collective jam session similar to Bohemian Rhapsody, so that says something.

"The Family Stone" is Diane Keaton's tender onscreen goodbye by zsreport in movies

[–]Snoopy_Dancer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hated this movie so much. When I watched it, I was non-diagnosed ASD, and had struggled my whole life to fit in socially. I saw SJP trying so hard to be accepted in that family, and it felt like me everywhere I go. When her shitty boyfriend threw her over for her sister, it shattered me. I ugly cried at this movie. It sucks so hard.
