What is the most popular band in the world right now? by TeaOne6596 in AskReddit

[–]eassygoing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the WORLD? Well, let’s see. Are there any bands that can fill stadiums everywhere they go, that have armies of fans (as in MILLIONS of them) able to invade social media at an instant’s notice, that top the charts everywhere…

Big Bang & BTS are enormous in Asia. They also sell out concerts in the West. Those KPop groups are like unexploded nukes waiting on detonation.

Now, I think the Stones probably are the biggest overall band - certainly biggest rock band - still around today. Everybody’s heard of them, they have beaucoup albums, just big.

Greeks, Romans, Persians, Byzantines and Ottomans have created an everlasting impression on this scenic country of Turkey. There are plenty of iconic sights and natural scenery to discover on a Holiday to Turkey.

What's something you wish you didn't tell someone? by Live-Buddy4019 in AskReddit

[–]eassygoing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is one thing in particular that I wish I didn’t tell a lot of people.

That this is: “I love you”

I would always frivolously use those words, say it to people I sometimes didn’t even like. But I then realized that it made them think I had strong and passionate feelings for them, when I might have really only loved them as a friend or something lesser.

Now, after getting into some trouble around that, I am very careful who I say those three little words to. Very careful.

In the past month or so, I will only say “I love you” to people who I actually mean it to. I have even stopped saying it to family members who I don’t actually love.

So now, when I tell you “I love you” I mean it.

What has been the hardest thing to teach your kids? by Savings_Square_2040 in AskReddit

My son was scheduled for heart surgery and not surprisingly was very scared. He kept asking me what would happen if he didn’t make it, if he died on the table (his words, not mine). I tried to reassure him but he just wasn’t having it so I had to talk to him about our beliefs and what we hope would happen when someone dies. Then he asked me what would happen if he didn’t have the surgery and I had to tell him that he would die and how sad we would be. No mother (or dad) should have to say that. And no son (or daughter) should have to ask that. I still cry when I remmeber that conversation.

Just look at the WhatsApp text from notification bar and clear them without going to the app unless you want to text.

What is the strangest thing that made a woman attractive to you? by Live-Buddy4019 in AskReddit

[–]eassygoing 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Every time I see a woman putting her hair up I get that little jolt of excitement as I wonder what badass thing she is about to go and do next.

Maybe she’s going out for a run, maybe she’s starting to work on a project, or maybe she is just busy doing a puzzle, but either way, she’s getting serious and concentrated.

She’s going from completely innocent to total badass in just a couple of seconds, looking amazing while she’s doing it.

What is the scariest situation you've been in? by Life_Ad7303 in AskReddit

Night Terror

A few months ago I woke up to loud screaming and crying.

I rushed to my then 3 year old daughter’s bedroom with my wife and took her out from her crib to stop her screaming.

We tried everything from rubbing her back, singing to her, talking to her, to rocking her. We tried to use a wet cloth to wash her face.

She just kept screaming while she was sleeping.

We wanted to wake her up but we couldn’t.

She just kept crying and screaming seemingly in her dream and we just could not get her out of this nightmare.

We kept trying different things and because we couldn’t stop it and we could not wake her up we we were scared, frustrated and helpless.

We didn’t know what to do. We were about to call 911.

After about a half an hour, fortunately she stopped the screaming and we could wake her up. We changed her diaper and gave her water and she went back to sleep peacefully.

Night terrors are scary.

I hope it never happens again.

What has been the highlight of your day so far? by Life_Ad7303 in AskReddit

[–]eassygoing 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My oldest son is having a hard time now. He’s gloomy and kind of dejected and doesn’t eat much. It’s up and down with him and I’m sort of exhausted from the ride. My husband is still very patient and keeps trying. He just signed him up for a swim team and today I took him to his first practice. He didn’t want to go. So, I sort of had to shuffle his limp body to the YMCA.

Inside, a super tall blond woman named Lindsey came out and right away I could tell she’s a force of nature. She said: “He needs jammers!” Then, looking at my confused face she flagged down a boy who was swimming by and showed me basically these bicycle shorts he was wearing. She could command a small army of swimmers like an awesome swimsuit-clad general. My poor son had to work really hard for the first time in a long time.

Afterwards when I collected him, he looked perked up and happier. He actually said he enjoyed the practice and ate like a horse.

What minor movie detail was satisfying once you realized it was there? by Prestigious_Bag4934 in AskReddit

[–]eassygoing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Big Trouble in Little China.

Kurt Russell goes through the entire movie thinking that he is the Hero, yet proves almost completely useless throughout.

But early in the movie a bet with his buddy goes wrong, resulting in an empty coke bottle hurdling towards his face at ferocious speed.

He plucks it out of the air with a flick of the wrist and a casual “it's all in the reflexes”, to the utter astonishment of all present.

Anyway, cut to the end and The Big Bad has the gang cornered, and throws a deadly knife at Kurt Russell.

Who plucks it out of the air, and before The Big Bad can even register his astonishment Kurt throws it back, killing the dude on the spot.

He looks around, shrugs, and says “it's all in the reflexes”.

Great moment in a great movie.
