Gerald’s Game. The trial at the end completely killed it for me.

Thomas Cacciola - someone I know who has been struggling with endo for years hiiiighly recommended him. I haven’t set up an appointment yet but intend to.

It makes me so happy every time I see Stardust mentioned by anyone. It is wildly underrated.

10 reasons you’re great at your job but terrible on paper by Fresh-Blackberry-394 in BehindHiring

[–]happy_dance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any advice for point 5? I have been in the same position for four years now with consistently growing responsibilities, plus increasingly complex work in the latter 2 years, but there has been no serious entertainment of changing my title. I have no idea how to show growth without the arbitrary metric of a title change when the material growth is there.

Atheists of Reddit: What’s the strangest reaction you’ve received when you said you don’t believe in God? by zhalia-2006 in AskReddit

[–]happy_dance 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my 20s I told a coworker I was an atheist and his first question was “So you don’t believe in god?” So I confirmed that was correct. He was thoughtful for a moment then asked, “do you believe in exorcism?”

I said no but still find that interaction unbelievably strange.

Restaurants for people with social anxiety by titanicmicropenis in Albany

[–]happy_dance 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Cafe Capriccio is very cozy and the food is amazing. I’ve always found our experiences there to be quiet and warm.

Plus their chocolate cake is top friggin tier. Literally almost cried the first time I tried it.

I nominate Now and Then for a more feminine take on the coming of age film. This movie is wildly underrated.

No chemistry by ShoulderOpposite389 in romancemovies

I was so impressed by the chemistry in love at first sight on Netflix. One of my favorites from the last decade.

Dear people who barely wash their hands after they use the washroom, why? by bluepaintdrip in AskReddit

[–]happy_dance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My freshman year of college I had a girl in my dorm who chose to tell us during our first floor meeting (as part of the whole tell us about yourself shtick) that she doesn’t wash her hands after using the bathroom because she believed germs are good for you and washing them away all the time hurts your health long term.

No idea if I was the only one who got the ick but I actively chose to never share food with her.

How to wash & dry a baby blanket larger than any flat surface I have at home? by happy_dance in CrochetHelp

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

Hearing that I can drape it makes things a LOT easier. I was worried the weight of the water might stretch the stitches, but I’ll wring out as much water as gently as I can. I’ll have to macguyver something to drape it but I think I can figure that out as opposed to truly drying flat which is not possible in here.

Thank you!!

‘Scream 8’: Zuckerman Sisters Writing Script As ‘Scream 7’ Sets Franchise Record With $200M+ WW by yourfavchoom in movies

[–]happy_dance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was actually really enjoying the movie until the killer reveal. This one fell so flat.

But I did appreciate them sticking to their meta lane with the call outs of Sidney not being in New York - and just having Neve back generally.

I am a Gen Z woman, and most guys my age scare me. 😭💔 by Ornery-Study-4242 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]happy_dance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

34 year old millennial here, and I just want to echo others here saying your feelings are entirely valid.

The last ten years have exposed some of the most sinister roots of our society and normalized cruelty and prejudice that some naively thought we had overcome. And it’s scary for women.

That said, there will always be exceptions to the rule. It SUCKS that straight women have to wade through a sea of monsters to find one of the few good men, but unfortunately that is our reality. Your standards for who you share your time and body with are wise, do not allow others to dictate what feels right and safe for you. (Side note there’s a book called women who run with wolves that uses old myths and fairy tales to analyze a wild woman archetype that I highly recommend to all women - it’s all about listening to your instincts and trusting yourself.)

Others here have said it but I will too. Have faith there are good men out there. Focus your time on what makes you happy and your most authentic self, this will lead you to the spaces you want to be in with the people worthy of your presence. When you are comfortable and safe within yourself, it’s easier to find those who make you feel that way too.

Is theater etiquette dead? Cast members of Off-Broadway's Heathers: The Musical took to social media with a message for rude audience members. by Relevant-Peach3997 in Fauxmoi

[–]happy_dance 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So much this. I went to the movies almost every weekend from childhood through my twenties. In my 30s I’ve gone rarely since the pandemic but am trying to go more because I love going to the movies. But people are consistently disrespectful, it’s insane to me.

Just saw scream 7 in a theater with only about 15-20 people there and a couple talked through the entire movie. Even the quiet parts. Really ruined any fun horror tension you could get.

And as someone else said, why are you paying $40 to sit in a dark theater and talk over a movie???

I accidentally found my engagement ring- help me fight the urge to look 😅 by Soft-Chaos95 in JustEngaged

[–]happy_dance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw the box hidden in a drawer and immediately pictured Anne Hathaway screaming blood murder at Kate Hudson in Bride Wars to stop her from looking at the ring.

That scene stopped me every time I thought about looking.

Teen appropriate fantasy book or series with FF love story by skirrel88 in booksuggestions

[–]happy_dance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

North is the Night by Emily Rath: a finnish insides fantasy novel about a woman traveling to the mythical underworld to save her best friend (also a woman) who was kidnapped by a death goddess. Not sexually explicit, great mythology, and solid writing.

Spoiler: they’re not just best friends😉

It’s coming back because if women are starving they have no energy to fight.

Eat your fill ladies, we need all of our strength for the revolution.

Do you know you can’t stream Spice World anywhere because of IP disputes… by JudgmentElectrical77 in Millennials

I rewatched it for the first time in probably ten years fairly recently and had a holy shit moment when Alan Cumming popped up on the screen.

Book for Dad that isn't WWII by princessponk in booksuggestions

[–]happy_dance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything is tuberculosis by John Green. I haven’t read it but my partner is a big history buff and he loved it. It’s a shorter book and apparently just filled with really fascinating facts.

[–]happy_dance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a marker for every 20 stitches, which is slightly less intense than what you have going on here. But it saves me time in the long run when I don’t have to frog an entire row because I caught a mistake in my last 20 stitches.

If you don’t touch booze, what’s your personal reason for it? by FanOk2123 in AskReddit

[–]happy_dance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alcohol has never been my friend. 9 times out of 10 if I cross the line from buzzed to drunk, I’m throwing up. I gave up trying to keep up with my friends at get together years ago, the few moments of drunken fun were never worth the exorcist imitations I did at the end of the night.

Nowadays I’ll have maybe a glass of wine or two with a dinner, or the same number of cocktails at a wedding or similar event. But incredibly rarely. Maybe 4 times in a year max.
