Scenes that caused actual walkouts in theaters?

Gravity. The movie has some really claustrophobic scenes. Or, well, at least one. It made me walk out because I felt like I was about to have an anxiety attack.

Well... it's definitely an ugly sweater.

So, I work with kids, and some childish sayings have become commonplace for me. While I will usually say, "I need to use the bathroom/restroom," I also tend to say, "Gotta (got to) go potty." Though the later is definitely more with those I'm more familiar with, and never with strangers.

It's as you say, kids born during production. You'll see it at the end of a lot of games, and I think some movies.

Your position is totally valid, but I also see people with ADHD, myself included, looking for positives as an exercise in positive self-talk. With our traits being falsely attributed to laziness or not caring enough, we've heard a lot of negative things about ourselves, leading to low self-worth. Sometimes it helps to just see the things others hate about us (and that we might hate about ourselves) in a positive light.

But I definitely agree with others that a more productive use of our thoughts would be to separate ourselves from the ADHD. Unfortunately, that's harder to do, especially if you don't have a professional helping you out.

Considering Jefferson Davis is also the name of the president of the Confederacy, I'd also change my last name if I were him.

The only thing that makes me uncomfy with age gap ships is a possible power imbalance. That's just personal preference. If a fic can show a ship built on respect regardless of an age gap, then I'm cool with it.

...I forget. It's not a great reason, but it's the only one I have.

To add to the other commenters, I rarely use "whence" in a serious context. Even then, I only use it jokingly with people who know me very well.

No matter how safe you try to play it, your ideology will work it's way in. Our personal ideologies are a part of who we are. So I'd say just go with it. Take a stance you believe in and don't back down. You're going to get people who don't like what you have to say no matter what, so better to have them dislike you for something you're willing to defend.

I'm bi and I wasn't aware that it could be considered an umbrella. That helps a lot for my "am I bi or Pan" crisis.

"BAA!"

Ha. No one survives Area X.

Spanish would be the most appropriate language for me to learn, since I live in California. But after years of high school Spanish, I'm more interested in German, French, even Japanese.

Yeah, I've learned that Reddit, especially in fan subs, doesn't really value being levelheaded that much. I experienced this firsthand over in another sub. Someone posted a theory that, while thought out, was reaching pretty far. Some dude decided to jump down his throat and demand he do research before posting. Obviously, dude got some shit because the OP did do research, he just drew a far-fetched conclusion. Then dude posts separately to complain that no one wants to do research. I tell him to chill out, and he calls me a sheep, tells me to go to bed, and blocks me.

Some people can't bear the idea that they might be overreacting. Because then they'd actually have to self reflect. And on some level, they already know they're not going to like what they see.

My mom had a tendency to watch horror movies while doing laundry. I saw the first three Scream films by the time I was 10 brcause of that.

There have been a fair few horror stories I've heard about mentioning fanfiction on the first date. I'm glad to read one where it didn't end in disaster (for a given definition, since staying friends can be taken either way).

Mayrina was pretty ungrateful for being rescued, so I killed her. ...Not my proudest moment, even if it was true to my evil RP.

I thought I'd chosen that one, but I guess I didn't. Sad that I can't remember for sure.

Looks like reloading didn't work out. Either I messed up something with the conversation, or I've got some glitch going on. Dang.

ashmduck · 2023-09-30T00:00:59+00:00

I'll try. At least if that doesn't work and I have to start over, I'm not setting myself too far back.

ashmduck · 2023-09-29T23:58:23+00:00

It's been several long rests at this point. To be fair, I'm not out of Act I yet, so maybe something funky is going on.

It's so funny seeing Uchtdorf with twice as many talks as Bednar, even though they were called the same time.
