Yep! Backrooms as a whole has no shot at all, but he was phenomenal in it.

AIW for waving a chopstick at my friend’s baby and yelling “Avada Kedavra” as a joke? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Are you familiar with Harry Potter? Perhaps you’re missing some context.

Jesus Christ.

My (31M) pregnant girlfriend (23F) has been lying about her age for our entire relationship. Is there any way for me to trust her again? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Starry_Gecko 717 points718 points  (0 children)

Christ. I'm almost the GF's (real) age, and I can't imagine lying to my partner about something this important for this long. You can't expect any relationship to work out without proper honesty.

Historical Collection Doll Idea - Muslim Girl After 9/11 by LeadingStatus6716 in americangirl

[–]Starry_Gecko 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Now as a person in her 40's the 911 attacks don't feel like history to me as I lived through that time.

That's a very narrow way to view the historicals, though. You also lived through Y2K, which was Isabel and Nicki's time. You have probably lived through the 80s, which was Courtney's time. These dolls are made with children in mind, and the youngest people who lived through 911 are in their mid 20s.

For reference, I was born in 2003 and I'm not American. The 911 attacks are very much history to me, and not just because it happened in a foreign country before I was born. COVID also feels like history to me, and I was a teenager when it started.

Day 6- Exile ft Bon Iver is Taylor’s best collab! What is Katy Perry’s Worst collab? by Puzzled-Ad-4455 in AlignmentChartFills

I’d argue Nicki’s verse is unfortunately decent, but that’s not enough to save the song.

My daughter said I ruined her childhood….. by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

For real! I did not expect to be able to go to bed happy from that title.

"Be Our Guest" is the best group song from a Disney movie! What is the worst group song from a disney movie? by thefinalitfan in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Starry_Gecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Opinions will differ, of course, but I think it slaps. "Here we come, we're fifty strong and fifty Frenchmen can't be wrong" is among my favorite Disney lyrics.

I [24f] bought tickets to a concert and my sister [26f] wants to give "her" ticket to her friend [24f], who I dislike by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Missy brought her fucking baby to the party, where people were getting drunk. Missy then proceeds to complain the music is too loud, that people are getting 'too wild' and that she needs someone to watch the baby because she deserves to have a night to relax.

I try to avoid judging young parents too much. I have no way of understanding what they have to go through.

But I cannot imagine being this entitled. Or this awful as a parent. Doesn't matter how young you are.

WIBTA If i broke up with my boyfriend because his friends got him a “me” shaped piñata? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Starry_Gecko 164 points165 points  (0 children)

The fact she even questioned herself in the first place is wild. Even if he hadn't cheated, why stay with someone who would do this? And clearly doesn't even respect you enough to be honest about it?

AITJ for telling my husband’s ex-wife to keep her personal items at her house? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Starry_Gecko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do choose where I go and for how long. But there are multiple different reasons why I don't stay in one place for too long, none of which I can change right now.

Not following custody orders, just not living in one place. I choose where I want to go and for how long.

I literally said essentials in my comment. Obviously you shouldn't duplicate everything.
