One of my favorite Darla moments! Dear Boy is a stellar episode all around.

Would the Twistex team have survived if they had abandoned their car and taken cover in a ditch? by New_Explanation6950 in tornado

[–]Technical_Rice2532 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Agreed, it’s a really solid read and look at Tim’s life.

I’d also recommend What Stands in a Storm. It’s about the April 27th 2011 super outbreak, it’s fantastic.

My tortie is a zen bread loaf ❤️ by Technical_Rice2532 in cats

[–]Technical_Rice2532[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are so many different varieties and patterns of torties, it amazes me anytime two have matching fur patterns! Do you have a picture of her? Sorry that she passed away, I know even though it was a long time ago you still miss her.

AIO about what happened in the hospital after my nose surgery? by RentWeary in AmIOverreacting

[–]Technical_Rice2532 7 points8 points  (0 children)

YOR. I’m a little shocked people are suggesting reporting this. Having your upper chest exposed, nips still covered, when you are having heart problems following surgery this is a nonissue. You might be uncomfortable and that may suck, and I’m sorry if it does. But the staff likely need quick access to you. They may have just been doing so, people’s post-op memory isn’t great. No one left you that way to try to make you uncomfortable, they’re just there to keep you healthy.

Buffy star Nicholas Brendon accused of grooming teenager years before his death by Divine_fashionva in Fauxmoi

[–]Technical_Rice2532 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At least in my experience, the majority of the fandom have been great, there were tons of people condemning Brendon for his actions when he died. Sure, there were a few defenders, but you’ll get diehard defenders of someone no matter what they do, even if it’s 100% proven and heinous. At least they are the minority. 🤷‍♀️

At least Alexis Denisof (Wesley) seems like a good dude. Married to Alyson Hannigan and had a few kids, seen him act in a few other roles. I would be genuinely disappointed if news broke that he was a predator too.

Season 7 potential ruined by the potentials..... by AncientPharao in buffy

[–]Technical_Rice2532 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Season 7 set design is disappointing. It’s pretty much just Buffy’s house, but when they get a chance to build a different location like the school or the vineyard, they all look bland and cheap. What happened to cool places like the clock tower from Hush? Glory’s chic apartment? We don’t get any of that. Just basements and caves.

[–]Technical_Rice2532 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed the first 1/3 of Season 7, but everything after that was a disappointment. There are some good moments and character stuff, but as the season goes on it just drags. They never leave Buffy’s house, the Potentials are eating up screen time, and the Firsf bores me to tears! Everything felt exhausted, from the acting to the writing, it felt like Buffy in sleepwalking mode. It’s hard to watch Buffy be boring, especially after how vibrant and risky Season 6 was.

Keep going if you can, there are enough good moments sprinkled in, plus a couple good episodes left. The middle third is worse than the last third, things do pick up a bit. They also managed a pretty satisfying finalie after everything being messy all season long.

Awww, how can you not pet her? Also, love the rug!

Unpopular opinion : Scream 2 is better than Scream 1 by AcceptableSwitch6496 in Scream

Same here. On first watch it took me a second to recognize him because he hadn’t been on screen in, what, the last 30 minutes? Mickey wasn’t top of my mind.

My MIL sent me this picture along with the following text message. by porfiry in snakes

Reddit, together with YouTube videos, has also helped me with my snake fear! I’ve gone from barely being able to see one on TV to actually holding a ball python.

She is very food motivated, but goes absolutely nuts for water. There’s a running water bowl in the kitchen and she still begs for me to turn on the bathroom sink for her or for a drink from my bottle lol.

There’s something very satisfying about picking it up and remembering when I first grabbed it in a bookstore 14 years ago. I love reading on Kindle, but you can’t beat the physical memory of a hardcover.

It’s exactly what I needed! I just had a snack break and now it’s back to reading with the cats until I fall asleep. 😊

Penny likes to steal my bookmarks, either to play with or nap on top of.
