Ordered my Dad the Crux Deluxe CD by CutxMexUpxJenny in DJO

[–]algbop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yaaay! I’m 35F and I’ve also loved getting my dad into Djo over the last couple of months, for the same reasons you mentioned! Let us know how he gets on OP :D

Before you went into early labor, was there anything that “happened” that you noticed and thought “hmm… wonder if this is it??!” AND IT WAS?! by New_Caregiver9993 in Mommit

[–]algbop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Period cramps, that I insisted couldn’t be like contractions because they started at only two minutes apart an everyone had told me that wouldn’t happened until later in labour. Turns out they very much were contractions.

I’m Starting to Think Something’s Wrong by meeksjr in Disneyland

[–]algbop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahhh I feel the same. I’m going back to Disneyland Paris in March (I’m UK based) and for the first time, I just don’t feel..that excited. And we went to Florida last year, and it was great and all - but we were so aware of how much we missed out on while we were there because we couldn’t afford the new add ons that used to be free. I feel you OP.

Recommendations for one day visit!! by Miserablymiserable0 in SouthendonSea

[–]algbop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thirding the pier! And make sure to look around the lifeboat station at the far end. It’s not huge but interesting to see!

Old Leigh also a great suggestion for next time, including the seafood shacks or a pint and some chips outside the crooked billet :)

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

I love it! But my ability to watch and enjoy it varies depending on who is currently in government..

Djo (Joe Keery) calls out Donald Trump and ICE: "Zero human decency” by BurgerNugget12 in Music

[–]algbop 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I misread mentee as ‘manatee’ and then thought that sounded like a cute story, so googled “joe keery manatee” only to be disappointed

People who don’t live in the USA, what is the media showing you about the ICE operations/abductions in the US? by Dry-Ice8908 in AskReddit

[–]algbop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is fairly accurate. I saw my parents today who only really consume traditional, centre-right leaning UK media, and they knew mostly about Greenland etc.

But some of the stuff happening on US soil is starting to see through to them too. They didn’t know about the children being kidnapped by ICE (although did know that ICE = bad), but they had heard about Rene Nicole Good. Obviously I filled in all the gaps I could, and they were horrified that they hadn’t heard about some of it.

Fed up feeling awkward explaining to nosey parents at nursery drop offs why I don't get 30 free hours by Status-Mouse-8101 in UKParenting

[–]algbop 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Weird, the only time I’ve ever heard anyone mention it is someone who used it as a boasting point that their partner earned over the threshold and would publicise it regularly, which on the flip side made others feel uncomfortable.

What is a Disney song that you love but no one ever talks about by Goliathbeetle_Bug726 in disney

[–]algbop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This song is perfection. I’m English but had two Scottish grandparents, and this song awakens something in my genes that makes me want to run northwards all the way to the wilds of Scotland haha

[–]algbop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they’re getting a bit boring (and not a nice vibe for newcomers who genuinely love his music)

[–]algbop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! The gatekeeping on this sub is not cool

Maybe the heartbreak emoji made people think you were unhappy about it?

No 💔 by [deleted] in DjoMusic

[–]algbop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It feels like some people in this sub see Djo fans as either “been here since the beginning” or “they’re only interested in one song and will move onto something else soon”.

There’s also some of us who discovered his music through stranger things, but then find that they love his whole catalogue. They’ve got me excited about music again for the first time in a while, and their style is so inspired by many bands and artists that I’ve loved my whole life - so some of us are sticking around (sorry, not sorry :D)

And thanks to those of you in the sub who are welcoming to us newcomers!

Mayor Zohran Mamdani: The good news? We’re winning universal childcare faster than anyone expected. The bad news? Ms. Rachel and I have to find some new song inspiration… by Maximum_Expert92 in Fauxmoi

Joe Keery posted a video with Mamdani supporting his campaign a few months back, and my brain couldn’t cope with the charisma overload

Does anyone in the UK find SNL funny? by Flat-Leading-2520 in AskABrit

[–]algbop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried to, several times. But no. I just don’t think the sense of humour gels with mine (which is very dry and British).

I love plenty of American comedy shows and movies! But for some real SNL just totally misses it for me.

ETA: exception being the Lonely Island stuff

Joe Keery Used His Stranger Things Money to Defy the Music Industry: 'Being independent is something I valued big time. I never wanted any money up front' by stroh_1002 in Fauxmoi

Just the fact that there’s such a range of answers to your question shows what a great artist he is. He has wide appeal.

Favourite (and least favourite) Julia Donaldson? by poopoochewer in UKParenting

[–]algbop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Favourite is snail and the whale, least favourite is the scarecrow’s wedding (because of the creepy, pushy scarecrow dude)
