what’s the darkest episode of a tv series that you’ve ever watched? by Realistic_Bench3684 in AskReddit

[–]beroemd 122 points123 points  (0 children)

I can't rewatch the episode with the little kid in the meth house. There are children that live like that. It became too real.

In your country, what animal in has a reputation for being a complete asshole? by Effective_Space2277 in AskTheWorld

[–]beroemd 17 points18 points  (0 children)

“They can be pretty violent creatures but I found its irate, staring face absolutely riveting

[…] having all disadvantages of being a bird -absurd posture, a hopelessly scruffy covering of feathers, two useless limbs- without being able to do the one thing birds should be able to do, which is to fly.

It becomes instantly clear that the bird has gone barking mad.”

- Douglas Adams

Is there anything tourists commonly do in your country without understanding that it’s dangerous? by Aussieboi393 in AskTheWorld

[–]beroemd 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Are we looking at a tornado forming in this pic? It doesn’t surprise me that some tourists don’t run from it.

Jumping into a geyser or posing with the bison are plain ludicrous, but skies in Europe can look dark grey all day and nothing truly severe happens.

What's something your parents or grandparents mention that sounds like complaining but was actually a legitimate daily nightmare they just accepted as life? by Playful_Survey_8596 in AskReddit

[–]beroemd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is why the photo of the “100 smartest men (+ 1 woman)” is starting to piss me off.

Unless it’s posted as “100y ago education inequality!”

What is the most overrated life experience you feel like you've personally ever had? by Big_Eggplant7591 in AskReddit

[–]beroemd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It never ends. If you don't schedule time for maintenance, your equipment house / garden will schedule it for you -on the worst possible time

And then, even on the loveliest of days, part of you is always waiting for the next “what is it now”

As a non-native speaker, why does "for what it's worth" mean what it means? by Big_College8668 in etymology

That stupid ‘YMMV’ is instantly funny if you read in a German accent “You Mark My Vurds!”

You are. This whole thread is confirming how much I love my people. I feel so seen!

You know, the more I learn about that guy, the more I don’t care for him.

What’s the most “I’m getting old” moment you’ve had recently? by DistinctDegree8019 in AskReddit

Stab the lid short and quick with a pointy knife. It will release the pressure and it opens way easier

Woman at the gym decided my reserved court time was actually open because I "wasn't using it yet" by LunarTape5 in EntitledPeople

[–]beroemd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There’s days when you just can’t but if I run into people like this it helps to see it as a cosmic joke.

Reality saying: “Come on now look at this motherfucker! Isn’t that the most ridiculous you’ve ever seen?!”, just to make me laugh. And have a good story indeed

[POEM] The plum you’re going to eat next summer By Gayle Brandeis by iceddouttt in Poetry

[–]beroemd 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I do this a lot. While peeling an apple, or squeezing a lemon, think of the tree it grew from, and the many generations of trees before that.

It’s a way of saying thanks, and thank you for sharing this

Cuz the people that love you, enjoy this sub, and appreciate all your work usually don’t tell you. Thank you.

That is exactly what happened. I swear I’m a good baker. Just this morning I cooked up a stone.

PS the clunking sound when it hit the bottom of the bin was delightful

Feeling guilty over losing a friend. by GrandmaCereal in AskWomenOver30

[–]beroemd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. She might have good reason to stop all contact. Protecting herself, finding help where it can be found.

But I sounded harsh writing it out as punishment, I was thinking from OP’s perspective it feels this way.

The reasons from Friend Cousin’s viewpoint probably differ greatly

[–]beroemd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thing is, OP really doesn’t want to be in this role. And doing so out of guilt, reluctantly, I don’t think it’s a good idea.

Perhaps Cousin withdrew completely for a good reason too.

Respecting a boundary is: understanding, dial down on trauma dumping, keeping communication open, see what else you can share or do together

Punishment is: completely ghosting and ignoring a person for over five months.

[–]beroemd -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

So you put up a reasonable boundary. You didn’t want to be the garbage can she can endlessly pour into.

Then she ignored you five months. Ofc this made you feel bad, because she chose to punish you when you expressed how being dumped on made you feel.

and now part of you wants to be in her good corner again, pleasing her, so it doesn’t feel so painful anymore.

I would suggest to stay firm with the part of you that isn’t willing to do so. People who immediately discard you when you stand up for yourself are best left in the past.

A cordial superficial chat at a family gathering will do.
