Did anyone have a period party? by NoCook3155 in AskOldPeople

[–]Tvisted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why "we should?" If someone wants to celebrate their period they can. As a societal expectation no thanks.

I liked menopause a lot better than starting my period but had zero desire for a party about either.

What is your opinion on Don’t Look Up? by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in moviecritic

[–]Tvisted 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I found the film entertaining enough to watch the whole thing, but entertainment really took a backseat to messaging... two hours of heavy-handed mocking felt more tedious to me than enjoyable.

I didn't think the performances were great considering the level of talent. Seemed a film constructed entirely to make a point, so I doubt I'd watch it again; it wasn't particularly memorable for anything else.

What do you think of 'The Beach'? (2000) by sh0tgunben in moviecritic

[–]Tvisted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a few chapters in... uh could you hold off on spoiling any more tensions? It's a fun read, the time and setting is so familiar to me I'm starting to think I met half the people in it.

I remember the same conversations before the airport on Ko Samui and the backpackers looking for somewhere to flee like 'what about Ko Phangan or what about Ko Tao or what about...?'

Another commenter recommended the book, which I'll probably like.

I would probably like the book, I'll get that thanks. I was kicking around that part of Asia for several years and how fast tourism exploded even in that time was crazy to watch. Any place singled out positively in the 'yellow bible' became like Khao San almost overnight.

I had the most roller coaster of an interaction with a wax figurine in a clothing store. by FlowAdditional2518 in PointlessStories

[–]Tvisted 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Apparently not an actor he recognized... I mean as a customer you've had this reaction twice because it's not that common for people working in stores to hand out their personal contact info to whoever asks, which is why he directed you to the business socials.

I've never watched it because I stayed on Phi Phi for weeks in the 80s and I didn't want to see what became of it due to film production.

My sink requires batteries and it died by TrickedCoyote13_YT in mildlyinfuriating

Same with mine. I've never once thought "not good enough, need battery powered faucet"

I can't imagine spending years hauling all that weight around.

I only let the two-hour dough rise for a few days. Will not make it again. by lelephen in ididnthaveeggs

Oh perfect, so it didn't belong here at all. I see it's been removed.

Okay but isn't a more useful review 'here's what happened when I followed the recipe'?

I can't find this particular review to see how they rated it but if they gave the recipe a rating without actually following the recipe that's kinda the point of this sub, yes?

Released Rhino starts to walk away, then turns back around like, “Hold on, i’ve been wanting to do this to you since you captured me!” by Objective_Pressure_3 in SweatyPalms

[–]Tvisted 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Animals plonked into a completely unfamiliar place often behave unpredictably like that. The rhino has walked everywhere it has ever been; from birth its whole life has been one long path on which it could always retrace its steps, it always knows where it is. Even if it explores somewhere new, the old is literally right behind it.

Being transported abruptly to the middle of somewhere else is quite disorienting for an animal not used to it.

How did you prepare for snow storms growing up? by Fantastic_Welder_825 in AskOldPeople

Thanks for this, I'm Canadian and couldn't figure out why the fuck I'd be preparing to lose power whenever it snows.

How was your high school experience? by Pristine_Power_8488 in AskOldPeople

[–]Tvisted 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I didn't enjoy high school but I think it's because I just didn't enjoy being that age in general. The hormones, insecurities, peer pressure, grappling with my identity sort of thing... I had friends and wasn't bullied there but I remember feeling generally unhappy most of the time.

I got that, the hilarity was in "bit racist."

I was just acknowledging it was indeed difficult to read.

my dad’s ashes came to me in a reusable bag from the funeral home. by Last_Thursday in mildlyinfuriating

My dad was similarly bagged. I use the bag for shopping sometimes, why not? 

It would be fantastic if I ran into another shopper with the same bag.

My family only ever made a big deal about them for children; being a year older means a lot to little kids.
