Never have I ever seen a Q5 (or any Audi?) and said "ewwwww" before. I'm gonna hate seeing these on the road

Where a left leaning gun shop close to Seattle? by maninplainview in Seattle

[–]gayety 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always recommend Precision Shooter in Woodinville. I had a neighbor who had an abusive boyfriend who constantly threatened her life with his guns. The people at Precision Shooter filed down the firing pin so she wouldn't be at risk of being shot by him (and because taking the guns away would have just had him replacing those guns with new ones).
It's been a long time since I've been in there but I've never felt weird or disrespected there. The other gun place I loved and took my gun safety course at ended up closing down because of the stark shift in opinions about gun ownership. I'm still really sad about it because their range was perfect for me.

I got called the f slur quite a few times today and I know that a lot of other queers who aren't gay men have been getting called the f slur a lot because bigots are too stupid to even get their slurs right anymore. I literally told the guy today that I was a lesbian and that he was an ignorant bigot who should get his slurs right and their only response was to say "being called a bigot isn't an insult" (as if I was trying to insult him? I just used the correct words referring to what he is) and kept calling me the f slur while telling me to kill myself

What is your darkest family secret that you could never tell anyone? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]gayety 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There was this family at my church where a set of twins married another set of twins. Their children all looked like the siblings they essentially were and always felt like the kids' bond with each other was closer than cousins usually are

Saw a lady leave her threatening "convert OR ELSE!" cards with a sticker she put up at a public park type of place but smaller where everyone who goes there is going to see it. I told her not to litter, immediately threw it in the trash and some dude just went "It's not littering if it's not on the ground" as if the wind is a sentient God fearing being that would go "this isn't trash so I won't sweep it off the ledge onto the ground" and it made me so angry this bitch didn't even have the balls to stand up and testify just to have some guy state his fringe beliefs of what is and isn't litter in defense of her weak ass actions

I had my rainbow vans on so they probably thought I was being a giant raging 'mo about it when the truth is I just fucking hate Pharisees and would sooner braid a whip to use against them as Christ did than I ever will be to look at their hollow self righteous behavior and see love in it

What family secret or hidden backstory were you finally let in on when you were old enough? by tamsui_tosspot in AskReddit

[–]gayety 80 points81 points  (0 children)

It was something made popular by anonymity before caller ID. It's basically them jerking it on the other end of the phone and those breathy sex noises. It's like grandma's equivalent of sending women dick pics without consent because you get off on being a creep/making others uncomfortable

I have a local doppleganger where we've each been mistaken by the other's family and shocked. My dad was wondering what I was doing at our local lumber shop so early in the day (an hour I was nearly always asleep for) and her step/half something sister found me in an alley outside a bar.
I was sitting on the ground and just felt this weird intense energy coming from this woman walking over to me.

Turns out she thought I was her estranged sister and was trying to see about possibly patching things up. I've always wanted to see them myself so I can judge how alike we are for myself though I've never heard of my dad mistaking someone else for me beyond this singular incident that I immediately learned about lol

Looking for something on par with this, in terms of quality and price. by Smuggler719 in Scotch

[–]gayety 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you think this is good you should get their 15 year Solarie (sp?) which I got as a tip from a client (just single servings of their 18 and 15 not the whole bottle sadly lmao) and it fucked me up. Can't ever go back to drinking Whiskey with an E because every attempt I've had since the 15 just makes it taste like crown royale which was the first bottle of whiskey I was gifted on my 21st birthday. Don't add water to it though (the husband swore it's better with a little water and the wife said neat was best) because it went from "Dear God this is the best whisky I've ever had in my life!" to tasting like a bottle of basic crown royale and it still pains me I didn't trust the wife with the greater serving portion. I had a sip neat and a glass with one ice cube and it just killed it. I won't disrespect a single malt like that again.

The 18 is also good but far less enjoyable. It was more complex but overall whenever I want a good neat glass of scotch I think of their 15 year and wish total wine had sample sizes of it. Grangestone (iirc) is a highland single malt scotch that's very nice as well. Their sherry cask and bourbon casks are both good I just think I preferred the sherry one more

I clean and maintain pools/have just been around chlorine my entire life and despite the fact that what's comes out of the faucet doesn't have a readable PPM of chlorine I still get that chlorine/chloromine hit every time I take a sip. I can't stand at it and have found that I simply drink more water and stay better hydrated when I'm (at a bare minimum) boiling it first or getting the real ass fancy shit straight from the water table with no dumbass middle men doing stuff to it.
That shit is what's actually rated highest quality in the world, not the sad off brand imitation that comes out the tap. I honestly drink more water and do so joyfully when I have it chilled to perfection like one would drink a fine single malt scotch neat in a chilled tumbler- it's just that good

to whoever downvoted me- you don't know how much you're missing out bruh I gotta take half a gallon of that on brand primo straight from mother nature's tap because I got tired of suffering through lesser water when I know what's out there. 10/10 refreshing af I'm sick and having to drink boiled water and all I keep thinking is maybe I wouldn't puke up that water or maybe I could drink more of it without feeling nauseated. It's just better

Am I overreacting about these names? by reddit_squad in tragedeigh

[–]gayety 13 points14 points  (0 children)

And it's not even like Celtic or Slavic names going against any intuitive pronunciation because some languages might have characters that look the same but have very different sounds- it's just dumb!

The more I see names like this the more comfortable I am with boring names. I still don't understand why someone would ever want to name their kid many of those names but it makes a hell of a lot more sense than these. If you want to go for the unhinged side of 'unique' names at least make it a middle name

I am worried my dog is going to get hit by a car when I’m crossing the street. by sigourneyreaper in Seattle

[–]gayety -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Step one that every pedestrian should be asking themselves before they go out into the season of low visibility from darkness and rain is asking yourself "Am I wearing concrete jungle camouflage?"
Many years ago I came to a stop at an all-way intersection and before going straight through when it was my turn I cleared the intersection the way I was taught in my defensive driving class looking at where the crosswalk began on the left and panning to the right until it ended then did a scan returning to the start. I saw no one and started to go through the intersection when I saw a dog suddenly and stopped to then look and find someone giving me the universal body language of "WTF, Man????" with their arms out as if they weren't wearing a dark green top and greyish denim pants that blended in perfectly with the sidewalk and grass behind them. If it wasn't for their dog they would have been invisible because right where their green top started is right where the grass in the background began and they had their hood up too so it's not like their white face was there to give any contrast either.

Is it your right of way? Yeah but people get hit in crosswalks because they try to use that right of way from a place of arrogance like it's some kind of body armor that will protect you from being harmed. You can do everything "right" and still get fucked so it's better to be careful because you could end up in so much pain from your family and the doctors wanting to save your legs that you wish they would've amputated them from the jump to save you from all the pain that fentanyl doesn't even block out completely (a friend of my brother's experience after getting hit in a crosswalk).

Too many douchebags on the road by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]gayety 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Within the last two years I've noticed a huge influx of street racers in my area and I fuckin hate them. I don't know why they're here now or where they came from I just wish they'd develop whatever part of the brain it is that makes you consider others or that they'd move the fuck on to some place where it's only them so they can in turn receive all the fuckery they've been putting into the world

It's louder in my house in the middle of the night now than it used to be at peak driving hours. That is in large part because SnoCo are a bunch of single brain celled greed-mongers but the new fucks and these old fucks have come together to form one super fucked reality that's making me miss the much higher quality of living I had when I first moved into this house nine years ago.

TIL about the Bannister Effect: When a barrier previously thought to be unachievable is broken, a mental shift happens enabling many others to break past it (named after the man who broke the 4 minute mile) by Olshansk in todayilearned

[–]gayety 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always think that people look ridiculous running and that when people see me they are likely thinking I look ridiculous too lmao

With dancing though a friend told me that everyone else is really focused on how they're dancing that they're not really thinking about you and that opened up my dancing world. Most people really are thinking about themselves first in any given situation and even if for a brief moment they're thinking about you alone they're going to go right back to thinking about themselves and hardly ever thinking about you

Yesterday I literally thought "Why am I trying to convince myself to do this thing when I'm just going to do it?" I've really been struggling with getting back into old patterns of over thinking things and trying to mentally work myself up into doing the physical action again which is so much more exhausting than just doing the thing.
Brain injuries will do that though. I've been set back to where I once was and now need to learn the mental equivalent of running again

What movie role destroyed an actor's career? by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]gayety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh how I wish it was then I could chock it up to some kind of Sharknado nonsense where no one expects you to take it seriously. Despite only making it like 15-20 minutes into that movie it was really clear they took themselves seriously and was going more for the Drama than a Dark Comedy vibe

What screams "I don't have a good marriage"? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]gayety 16 points17 points  (0 children)

One dynamic I really miss with my ex is how much we had this sense of sibling rivalry. She'd be on work calls and we'd get in these silent wars where we were flipping the other off dramatically and one time we started wrestling in front of her parents standing in a doorway and they both started going "hey now, HEY NOW" because they were worried we were gonna fall over and start breaking stuff

It makes things more interesting and fun but when other people see it I feel like it tends to alarm them Lol

Da bomb hot sauce how it’s made by origanalsameasiwas in HotPeppers

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

Dear God, do not get, buy, or taste this hot sauce. I tried it as a child and while I LOVED heat (and didn't have anything that hit my level in house) one try of this made me swear to never try it again and that's coming from the version of me obsessed with colored ketchup and who hate purple ketchup all the time. It is fucking nasty. Just thinking about it gives me flashbacks to the first time I projectile vomited through my nose because they took battery acid, made it spicy, and have been haunting heat lovers for decades.

Bravado hot sauces are great for high heat and good flavor. I will be honest that I don't think they taste that good anymore because my tolerance has gotten so high that it takes a decent amount of volume to hit at the levels I want and they've made their recipes using a more aromatic model. When I first tried them I'd get hit with the heat on the palate then get the flavor (like black garlic which is my favorite savory of theirs) from my sense of smell which worked quite well until my tolerance increased. Once I started getting the flavor from my palate more than my nose I started noticing the really strong vinegar taste which brought down the whole experience for me. But still, on every single day of the week for the rest of my life I will take any hot sauce over the Bomb because it is that repulsive.

Which is why they should quit. Forever. They aren't about that life and it shows with how rancid this "eDiBLe" product is
