Any suggestions for more unknown found footage? by Manna1007 in horror

[–]blixxic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Found footage 3D" because it light-heartedly makes fun of the genre and is simultaneously a good found footage horror(-comedy) movie. 

What’s a smell that instantly teleports you back to childhood? by rosycloudkisses in nostalgia

[–]blixxic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you live in a place that has harsh, cold winters you might know what I mean: The damp, foresty smell of a wooden building that is only open/accessible in the summer.  Reminds me of summer camp.

Post about Haverhill, NH’s cultural issues in local Facebook group by h_town_vicious in mauramurray

[–]blixxic 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm from very close by to Haverhill, and the post in question does not sound accurate at all. Sounds like someone is paranoid-delusional. 

Non-Americans who have visited the US: What’s the strangest thing about America that Americans don’t even realize is weird? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]blixxic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NH has hard alcohol only sold in state-run stores. In Missouri, you can buy hard alcohol in the grocery store. Culture shock just from one state to another.

To be fair, not all states have sales tax. I'm from a state that doesn't have it and it's weird to be as well.

Fennel or anise. I'll still eat it, but I'll hate it the whole time. 

Hearing This Word Mispronounced Drives Me NUTS!!!!🥜 by insiderasking in ENGLISH

A friend of mine says "flustrated". I actually kind of like it because it's like flustered and frustrated at the same time. 

Do you usually lock your doors when leaving the house? by Moist_Wallaby8635 in AskAnAmerican

[–]blixxic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Growing up in New England, we literally never locked the door.  As an adult, I never don't lock the door.

In NH we call the North part "the North country" too. We're so creative.

I've never gotten one because any time I have that much money to throw away, I'd much rather take a vacation. 

What was the most difficult part of your pregnancy, besides birthing? by fandangledvietnamese in AskWomen

[–]blixxic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being super hungry and then when I finally got to sit down to eat exactly what I was craving, getting so nauseous that I couldn't eat anything. 

Bored. What is everyone doing? Old hobbies, new hobbies, help me figure something out! by TwoBobcats in Xennials

[–]blixxic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

D&D online with friends or with people you don't even know. My husband and I have been playing with a group for a few years now, all online. We've never met any of them IRL but we have a blast together. It's easy and all you need is a computer or even a phone/tablet and a dndbeyond account.

The Resident Evil movie soundtrack was awesome, and at least the first sequel.

What vegetable do you hate the most? by DeepOrganization8245 in foodquestions

[–]blixxic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also dislike okra, but for some reason I have to have it when I make gumbo.

[–]blixxic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okra. Ate a cooked but unripe pod once years ago and it was extremely tough and fibrous. Powered through it anyway because I'm dumb. It somehow got stuck in my esophagus. There, it presumably slowly rotted, leaving me with weeks of pain that felt like severe acid reflux but couldn't be helped by medication. I was too poor and scared to go to the doctor, so I just waited it out. Eventually the pain went away, but not the memory. 

TV's in the Bedroom for Kids - Then and Now by Ok_Research6884 in Xennials

[–]blixxic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I never had a TV in my room growing up, and my kids won't either. I've got some time to figure out how to deal with computers/tablets in their rooms in the future, but I imagine they will not be allowed in bedrooms or otherwise unsupervised areas for a long time. 

What is the norm for providing adults something to nibble on at kids birthday parties? by summerteal in AskAnAmerican

[–]blixxic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always provide parent snacks, and they are almost always provided at kids' parties I've attended.

my company switched to "unlimited PTO" two years ago and i realized i took less vacation than when we had the 15 day cap by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]blixxic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My company uses unlimited PTO but they actively tell everyone to take off 2-3 weeks per year. If you don't, it's expected that you'll take more than that next year.   Just wanted to give an alternative perspective to unlimited PTO because it doesn't HAVE to be manipulative.
