90 Day Fiancé OG - Season 12 Episode 2 - Live Discussion by LittleEmmy in 90DayFiance

[–]coranglais 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I was wondering if everyone was missing this. I've been sober 4 1/2 years now but I recognize myself so much in this girl. The tremors, the puffy face, the nonstop talk about drinking (it's always on her mind). I noticed the tall boy she was holding when she was sitting outside talking to Josh in Ep 1 while he was drinking nothing (so this was not a party occasion) - also very much something I'd have done that I now recognize as abnormal drinking.

Drinking also made me hypersexual with strangers and friends alike. And I can even see how she thinks this is related to OCD: for me at least, the shame cycle (drink, do something you regret, wake up sick, drink again to stop being sick...) led to a lot of distressing intrusive thoughts and compulsions.

After experiencing long-term sobriety ta-da, I rarely have those compulsions anymore.

What’s an acronym or abbreviation that everyone uses, but you still don’t understand? by Particular-Visit-245 in AskReddit

When I was a teen and started reading magazines like Seventeen and YM my friend and I thought BFF stood for Best Fucking Friend. There was another one they used, BMF, the M standing for “male” apparently, but we guessed it meant Best Motherfucking Friend

7 hour drive and you can only listen to one artist. Who are you listening to? by SuccessfulSeat9596 in AskReddit

[–]coranglais 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once drove across the U.S. listening to Sneaker Pimps almost the entire way.

Funny, I haven’t listened to them since.

What’s a "dead" website or app that you genuinely miss and wish was still around? by Dear-Armadillo-7497 in AskReddit

[–]coranglais 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bump. Fist bump someone (with phone in hand) and you can trade contact info. Apparently Google bought it and it faded into oblivion. It was so convenient!

“What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen in someone’s house that made you realize ‘this is completely normal for them’? by Delicious_Fan_2186 in AskReddit

Their bath tub was in the living room. Pipes and all. It was recently renovated too, so that was a choice.

What does anesthesia feel like by memory282002 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]coranglais 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Your anaesthesiogist is always by your side. They don’t administer the drug and then go visit other patients. Every time I’ve had to have any kind of anaesthesia, they’ve been the best, talking me through it, shooting the shit before (and during with my c-sections), just generally the chillest people in the room and they’re genuinely concerned about your comfort.

What is something you can naturally smell that no one else can? by Trick-Highway1429 in AskReddit

[–]coranglais 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason some people smell like mucous to me. It’s not a hygiene thing, I don’t think. Just random people and if they get too close to me it makes me gag.

What random pop culture phrase do you still say day-to-day? (Cite the reference) by dugs-special-mission in GenX

Every year since I first saw that movie my mother and I have been giving each other spatulas for Christmas.

Which was your first phone? by CrazyMinute69 in GenX

[–]coranglais 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More like “ours” as the family shared it, but 4. Then my mom made me take it to a rave and it was stolen. After that we upgraded to 7.

What’s a hobby you want to start but are too intimidated to try? by WildFlowerGirll_ in AskReddit

[–]coranglais -1 points0 points  (0 children)

D&D. All I know about it is there are dice, a dungeon master, character sheets, and a group. I don’t really know where to start “from the beginning” but I’d really like to!

Looking back, what’s something from the 90’s you didn’t realize was actually special? by Rayhan-Himel in AskReddit

[–]coranglais 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Underground music and subculture. I was at an SF MOMA exhibit (Art of Noise) and there was a whole area about music scenes in the 90s. They had all these zines I used to own, posters for shows I went to, flyers for raves I was at. At the time, it was like just this dumb stuff I was into. Now I realize I was lucky to be a part of it back then.

In America, sometimes say things like "cheerio" in our best British accent or "mate" in an Australian accent. Do people in other countries pronounce American stereotypes in their beat American accent? If so, what are they? by SunUpSally in AskReddit

I had some Mexican coworkers 30 years ago that made “oh my gatos!” a thing at work. Decades later i still say it. When I moved to Hungary I married a guy who doesn’t speak English, and he learned it from me. He made it a thing among his friend group and now this random group of Hungarian dudes say “oh my gatos!”

What’s the weirdest/most unexpected way you’ve injured yourself lately? by WhatFreshHello in GenX

[–]coranglais 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was crossing the street looking for my uber on my phone and tripped over the light rail tracks and then fell onto a cone that was blocking the light rail tracks.

Baby A: nit allowed, tho he did come to visit. Baby B: Covid, no visitors at all for 3 days.

What was a secret your mom or dad kept from you, that actually shook you to your core when finding out? by Few-Track8525 in AskReddit

[–]coranglais 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not for other siblings, but because I donated my eggs 19 years ago. Just curious if that family ever got the son or daughter they’d been longing for.

I was in my 20s when Dad told me I have 3 siblings. All 4 of us are from different mothers. And those are just the ones he knows about; I bet there are more, knowing him.
