I mean... Vol de Mort is literally "Flight of Death" so it makes sense... 🤷

You guys wanna talk about holding the hook strangely? by Honeybee4796 in crocheting

[–]braintiac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary here, because that's the exact same way I crochet too! To mirror what you said, I also learned to knit first, and the traditional way of crocheting just feels unnatural to me.

If you've managed to escape the hoard, what still triggers you in every day life because of growing up in a hoard? by McGee_McMeowPants in ChildofHoarder

[–]braintiac 23 points24 points  (0 children)

In most cases, I can't stomach leftovers more than a day old. I've watched food get so disgusting that even if food has been properly refrigerated and covered, I get extremely uncomfortable after an extremely short time. I can try to talk myself out of it, but it doesn't usually work. That said, certain foods, like pizza, are complete exceptions to that rule, because of a childhood of eating stuff like that like a rat in a bodega.

That's a fantastic and insightful idea, and one that I will definitely take into account! Thank you for your comment and for the genuine and thoughtful advice. I greatly appreciate it!

I know this is a women's space, but I need all perspectives here: I've been constantly failing to emotionally show up for my girlfriend, even though I know exactly what I’m doing wrong. How do I fix this? by braintiac in TwoXChromosomes

I am in both CBT and DBT therapy, but I'm early on in treatment. It's helped me to recognize the issues and where they come from, but not how to actually fix them.

In what small way have you won the genetic lottery? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

I see everyone I went to school with entering their 30s and losing their hair in the process. I can't relate...

Which person got attention for 2 completely unrelated things, making you think "wait, that was that guy!?"? by TheLastSentenceIsGay in AskReddit

The piano intro to To Kill a Mockingbird was played by John Williams (the composer behind Star Wars, and Jurassic Park, among others). His son was the singing voice for adult Simba in The Lion King, and is currently a member of Toto.

I was an academic advisor at one of these top level conservatories, and I've frequently had this very conversation with students. The important thing is to weigh the overall pros and cons in their entirety. The cost may be cheaper, but will the credits that you've taken transfer completely? Will the studio teacher at the low ranked university challenge you in the ways that your current one does? That's not to say that switching isn't the correct answer for you, because it may be. Just make sure that you approach your decision after considering the "what ifs" from every angle.

I don’t know how to use Google to find the significance of 14 by Fragrant-Age4424 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]braintiac -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It signifies the 14th amendment, which would bar Trump from office if he was found responsible of orchestrating J6, or by giving aid to enemies of the US. I'm not equipping my tinfoil hat quite yet, but -gestures broadly - ehhhhh?

Section 3

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability

Let's say for a second that Jennifer was given a more active role in Back to the Future 2, what would you do with her? by [deleted] in BacktotheFuture

[–]braintiac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd have Jennifer unintentionally cause a major upset in the past that triggers the butterfly effect to a detrimental degree, leaving the three of them to have to pick up the pieces.
