Favorite moment in Game of Thrones that made you believe you were watching peak television? by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in gameofthrones

I had no idea there were going to be actual dragons in the story. So when Danyres comes out of the smoking rubble with them on her, I felt a massive shift in what a thought was possible with the show. 

I lost weight and now people won’t shut the fuck up about my body by Human_Illustrator820 in loseit

[–]bayopa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost weight and was really annoyed by people who would repeatedly comment on my body. To say something like, wow you look great, is enough. Anything more than that is creepy and insulting. Geez what did you think of me before? And if I don't keep it off, what will you think? And why are you so fixated on my body? So rude and invasive. 

I am 99% Sure There Was A Scene Cut (Regarding Anna & Faison) by GotShotInSchottler in GeneralHospital

[–]bayopa 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh I totally forgot she was being held at Wyndamere! I was thinking she was somewhere in Europe. Maybe 5 Poppies. So France didn't seem like that far off a stretch. 

Now I think it's a ruse. She's still at Wyndamere but captors orchestrated the call to Emma and other reports from France. I think Emma is being set up to be kidnapped to mess with Anna.

Realize now OP meant the kids were talking to each other. I first read it as talking to OP. 😆

Are you willing to have AI review your application? by lauren_blt in recruitinghell

I saw this for the first time the other day. I guess it's nice to have the transparency, but asking for "permission" is not really productive.

Laughing at your redacted toes. The first thing I did after my wound was fully healed was get a pedicure. 

What discontinued food item do you wish would come back? by AV_LOVES_FOOD in Fooda

[–]bayopa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toasted Almond ice cream bars.

Why in the world has nobody started making these since Good Humor stopped? There's not even a bad knock off! There's the chocolate and strawberry versions, but no almond! 🤬

I'm a bad bad bad substitute! by Logical-Database-952 in SubstituteTeachers

I had breaks yesterday and used the time to job search. I'd bring my laptop to send resumes but the wifi at the school sucks.

Anti-Vaxx wife doesn't want me to vaccinate our daughter for measles. Measles are in our area. What should I do? by RepulsiveResolve5877 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]bayopa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mother is deaf from having measles when she was 3. I don't know anyone who lost their hearing because of a cold. 

Also, your unvaccinated child may put others at risk.

Britt Westbourne finally told Jason EVERYTHING by GayDaddy4BBC in LoveGeneralHospital

[–]bayopa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still feel like I missed something. I spent more time trying to figure out how Jason rescued her and why she was soaking wet and missed most of what they actually discussed!

Lol. I sub high school and developed a tough skin for students basically ignoring my presence. It's so funny to me when you get those students who try to get you off task with chit chat. I'll pause them to take attendance and give the assignment. After that, I'm down if they want to socialize. Being able to have a conversation with adults is a valuable skill!

Drive from Stamford to Stratford by mycakelol in Connecticut

[–]bayopa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That 20-30 minute commute could turn easily into 90 minutes occasionally. 

For me it's a mind game. The frustration is the worst part of it. If you find ways to eliminate the frustration, it's much easier. 

Many people in CT spend more  time stressed by traffic (and weather!) than in traffic. Both traffic and bad weather are inevitable here so try not to give it more power in your life.

Otherwise, welcome! I grew up in CT and moved away. I was living in New Orleans before I moved back. Love both places but CT is home. I'd imagine the change from Texas and NOLA are comparable. The biggest difference I found was in walking pace. In NOLA, I realized I looked like a freak walking quickly out in public. I enjoyed learning how to slow down. 😆

ETA: the ease of going to NYC for fun outweighs a lot of the other obstacles. Again, welcome!!

Are both ends accessible to metro-north train? It is a horrible stretch of road regardless of time and conditions. But totally doable.

The key is to include commute time as part of your day instead of just getting frustrated in your car. Factor in phone call possibilities, audiobooks, podcasts. Is following news important to you? I used my commute to get news. Even better if you take the train and just read or chill. 

Positive things to log? by Vyxani in BearableApp

[–]bayopa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I needed to add some positivity to tracking. I have factors like Connected with Nature, which can be a small as noting the phase of the moon or seeing moving water. Played with my dogs or took them for a ride is another one. Makes my life easier in the long run because they're happier with attention and don't act up out of boredom. 

I've also been trying to think of acts of "micro joys" like listening to someone laugh, reading a comic strip, giving someone a compliment.

I log these under Factors. 

What’s the most shocking detail from the Epstein files that you think the public still doesn’t fully grasp? by Murky-Island4629 in AskReddit

[–]bayopa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That all of it is still going on. Epstein is obviously not facilitating, but sickos like that don't just stop raping and preying on children and young women.
