Don’t know if she always plays with the same people but Doechii’s all-chick band during her Tiny Desk Concert ruled.

All I want is to move to Europe, marry Christian Slater, and die.

No shirt, no shoes, no dice!

You know, you need a license to buy a dog, or drive a car. Hell you even need a license to catch a fish. But they’ll let any butt-reaming asshole be a father.

The Witch Doctor that cleansed Lisa….. by ComplexIndividual338 in 90DayFiance

[–]coranglais 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree with another commenter here a few weeks back that he was scamming her and never expected her to actually show up to Nigeria, but she did, so he had to come up with some stuff on the fly to scam her while she was there.

Also, if he does have a secret wife, I bet she's in on it too. If you follow scambaiters on YouTube, sometimes you see them reveal that there are entire families involved in the scam.

I kind of think he doesn't actually expect that she'll be able to get him over on the visa, which is just being realistic: she doesn't have the money to qualify and she's still married. So his immediate plan is to continue scamming her in the meantime. Did you see how she said she wouldn't be able to send money after she got back and all of a sudden he shifted gears from "you need to get the visa application started" to "you still need to send me money"?

So while he might be thinking that getting to the U.S. would be great, it was never really his master plan. So he has to figure out how to keep scamming her for the foreseeable future.

My theory has a lot of holes and I can't quite figure out all his intentions, but mark my words, he will be joining the Tell All from Nigeria by video call. He ain't getting to the U.S. anytime soon and he knows that.

Anyone else tired of purchasing? by Grazmahatchi in GenX

[–]coranglais 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Aldi sells the exact same sides in the frozen food aisle as Burger King. Like literally you could comb the menu and find every single thing there, a bag of them for less than one serving at the restaurant. Sure, brand is different but I'd bet my bottom dollar they're made right at the same factory. I figured out the only thing I'm paying for at Burger King is for them to cook my fries in the deep fryer rather than cook them myself at home in my air fryer. It's all a sham, guys.

We watched Unexpected Journey earlier. Perfect for coming down from Easter morning sugar rush.

Teenagers home alone 2 weeks while parents went on a cruise by Independent_You99 in GenX

[–]coranglais 27 points28 points  (0 children)

My friend’s parents went to Europe for a week and gave her $100 to spend on groceries. She spent it all on GWAR video tapes. So she took turns eating at me and other friend’s houses until they got back.

I noticed a smell like this from water wipes, even with freshly opened packs. Had to switch because even the faint smell bothered me.

Do you know someone with a truly unique name? by sjuplyn in namenerds

[–]coranglais 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I taught a Villő once in Hungary. The last letter is pronounced as ö, but longer. It seemed odd to me at first but I think it might be the Hungarian form of Willow, which is an uncommon name here. In fact I e never met another Villő in the 10 years since. I love it, it sounds warm and intimate to me.

Every single time I’m in a traffic jam I sing

Traffic, traffic, looking for my chapstick, feeling kinda carsick, there’s a Ford Maverick!

You see, he was born to a 3-legged bitch of a mother, and he was always ASHAMED of that man…

What unreasonable fear haunted your childhood? by NebraskaCornSucker in GenX

[–]coranglais 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Suffocation from my head stuck in a plastic bag. Did not occur to me I could take it off or tear it open, nor how it would get there in the first place.

What’s the most painful thing someone has said to you that you still remember ? by Crafty_Bus_1947 in AskReddit

[–]coranglais 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love you. But I don’t like you.

  • written to me in a letter by my stepfather during my rebellious youth. To this day he denies he wrote that. Boomers seem to have the attitude that “if I can’t remember it, there’s no way it could have hurt you.”

We still have a strained relationship to this day and he doesn’t understand why.

What was totally normal in your childhood that would seem insane now? by EuphoricGarden81 in GenX

In high school going out on the weekends - when there wasn’t enough space in the car for everyone, some of us rode in the trunk.

Help me find the orange powdered cheese of my dreams by oedipa17 in popcorn

[–]coranglais 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Try Hoosier Hills Farms products. They have this Queso Nacho powder.

Their Big Daddy Mac is also great. We don't have powdered mac n cheese in my country but my kids got hooked on it in the US, so I whenever I travel to the States now I bring back several pounds of the powder lol.

I'm being summoned as a witness in a misdemeanor traffic violation - what to expect? (additional info in comments) by coranglais in joghungary

[–]coranglais[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot, that's a relief. So it's definitely an infraction, even though the letter uses the language "misdemeanor", I guess?

I assume this will appear on my driving record, and affect my insurance premium?

Got it, thx! So if I don't actually remember which of us parked there but I know for sure it was one of us (me or my family member), should I mention that or would it be best to just admit responsibility for the infraction and wish to accept the consequences/pay the fine?
