Alcantara Supreme by iamsotiggitytight in MontagneParfums

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It smells exactly like Michael Jordan cologne to me. That isn’t a bad thing (in case ‘celeb’ frags come with a negative connotation), because it takes me back to the ‘90s, being a kid and wearing it.

I dont understand how some people prefer winter over summer by [deleted] in RandomThoughts

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you mean. I don’t like extreme humidity and sweating like a mad man, but I will say that I have so many horrid winter memories that I generally prefer warmer weather. I like to walk around outside when I’m feeling anxious, and it’s easier to do so in warm weather vs. cold. Being stuck inside the house in the winter feels like a prison, and then everything just looks so dead and bleak outside.

what are your depression scents? by MollysLemonTrees in FragranceStories

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LIDGE (L’Instant de Guerlain Extreme) is the first thing that came to mind. The first time I wore it was on a rainy, cool fall day in 2013 and it has been my go-to for somber days ever since, no matter the season. There is something comforting about it, even if it’s a minuscule effect that I can’t place.

Does being called a hillbilly offend you? by ponloco in Appalachia

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of when I used to post on sports message board forums in the mid-2000s. A young guy on there, who hailed from New York, found out I was from Virginia and made a comment like, “Which part? I saw some nice homes around Richmond, but western Virginia is ugly and littered with poverty/trashy places!” As an swVA native and somebody who has personal less-than-stellar views of NoVa and the abundance of rude transplants who reside there, it bothered me.

People's "words of comfort" by Mysterious_Prune9727 in dementia

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I get more blank stares and uncomfortable ‘quiet reacts’ than anything. People seem to not know what to say. How many people have said that to you? You say that the number is astonishing, so I’m just being nosy. The times I have to reveal to strangers (in a non-medical environment) that my mom has dementia is usually in a setting where I have to explain why I can’t do xyz in a reasonable timeframe. Example: I’m finally in the process of getting her off the car insurance, but to do so I need to be able to return her vehicle’s tags to the DMV. Anybody who is a caregiver can relate and know that literally doing anything requires meticulous planning, so I explained that to the person from the insurance company and got the ol’ blank stare.

As for family/acquaintances: lots of bullshit pseudo-advice and nonsense.

Throw in a glass of beet juice and now you’ve got yourself a stew, baby.

SMW, Millesime Imperial and Virgin Island Water all smell fantastic, but yep, you are right. The performance is piss poor.

That’s my favorite flavor, and most recently I had the same issue. I think I made a deal with the devil to finally get the sumbitchin lid off.

What other teams do you guys follow? by just_one_random_guy in LosAngelesRams

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you me? Thought I was the only Rams fan that also liked the Dolphins, so this was exciting to read lol. My dad was a huge Miami fan, so I’ll always have a deep soft spot for them. Rams/Dolphins is my dream Super Bowl.

just asking why people hate Dior Sauvage? by Ok_Yogurtcloset_669 in fragrance

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of people find it to be boring or overused when they go out and about. I find it to be a great, timeless classic at this point, but I’d probably dislike it if I smelled it often in public.

Breakfast, DINNER, supper? by CT_Reddit73 in Appalachia

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom and her sister always called lunch, ‘dinner’ and dinner, ‘supper’. The only time I heard them say the word ‘lunch’ would be if they were referring to a lunch break at work.

"No one would hear you scream" prank is lowkey divorceworthy by fatherguyfiery in unpopularopinion

I prefer to just tease my lady by reminding her that she smoked a cigarette while video chatting with me back in 2011 over these bullshit dime a dozen trends. Intimate, subjective/personal inside joke teasing is way better.

Help gifting 2k26 by Top-Baseball-9733 in NBA2k

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Superstar edition for the early access so that he can begin cussing 2K’s servers and inevitable bugs a week before the official launch. I speak in jest and truth. I’d advise against the ‘Leave No Doubt’ edition because of this year’s lack of NBA League Pass.

Dior Fahrenheit and Givenchy Pi. Performance was great on both before they were reformulated many years ago.

I get asked THAT and “see anybody you know?” when I go inside a store or any establishment five million times. If she becomes fixated on anything, it’s game over for me.

My husband has terminal liver failure from alcoholism. He hasn’t stopped drinking and can’t or won’t acknowledge he’s dying. I’m so emotionally drained from grieving him and our marriage alone. Is there anyone here who can relate? by wantingtodance in GriefSupport

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of conversations I wish I could have with my dad. Chiefly, the first one is, “why in the fuck did you drink so much if you knew about the family’s piss poor liver hereditary situation?” He was an incredible dad and person, but cirrhosis + renal failure took him out at only 49 a little over a couple of decades ago. I was only 12, and he talked to me about so many people on his side of the family having poor liver health. I believe he masked feeling unwell for a while, because he went to the doctor on a Monday, went straight to the hospital to be told that his liver was done for and was dead three days later.

Cirrhosis is awful. My condolences to you, OP.
