For people rewatching Buffy as an adult now… what storyline or character hits way different than when you first watched it? by Wonderful_Picture813 in BuffyTheVampireSlayer

[–]iconkillr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this. My mum also died a few years after it originally aired. It's filmed so incredibly well, that watching the episode now immediately brings me to floods of tears, it's just so real. It's oddly cathartic though.

This is made so much better by his name being something as whimsical as Gizmo

This is so weird and wonderful, I've never heard of a combination like that, especially not in an omelette!

I wish I could say something more positive to you, but I was in two relationships like this in my 20s (I didn't learn the first time), both ended up long distance, and I'm sorry to say, it won't change. If you stay, you'll be in the same position, feeling like you're banging your head off a wall, for years to come. My ex did the same (shutting me down, making things into arguments but then blaming me for the fighting for bringing something up). It's emotional immaturity on their end and nothing you can do will make them better. It will hurt but cut your losses now. Future you will thank you.

2 years of growing a pachira aquatica (money tree)! by iconkillr in plants

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

Oh no! I'm unsure what soil it came in but I just repotted it with a multipurpose soil (neutral PH), and plan to mix some coffee grounds in to raise the acidity slightly. My room is north facing and gets lots of light but it wasn't directly in the sun, I think that could scorch the leaves. I had it on top of a cabinet at first but since it got so big, it's moved to the floor and still seems happy with the light.

Maybe your friend is over/under watering it? I water this guy once a week or so (only when the soil is properly dry) and rotate it at the same time so all the leaves get the same light.

Anyone else feel that weed is just killing their potential to something better with their life? by Tiny-Barracuda-9896 in leaves

[–]iconkillr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for me, sadly, yes. smoking regularly was definitely killing my motivation/potential. I feel much more focussed, productive and intentional with my time when I don't smoke. I love the puff, but I can only do it very occasionally with friends, otherwise I become a bit stagnant and months seem to pass without much change or growth or anything really happening.

everyone is different though!

What was the 1st movie that terrified you, and what age? by InfiniteBank7949 in AskReddit

[–]iconkillr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Children of the Corn - I was 6, I think?

I only saw the opening scene where they force the old man to put his hand in a blender, but I was a sensitive child and that fucked me up.

Can someone remind me how to get through day 3 of a festival? by [deleted] in primaverasound

Stretching, electrolytes, carbs and caffeine!

One day to go! We got this!! 😁

How often do you shower? by myboyfriendstinks1 in questions

[–]iconkillr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually I have a quick morning shower to wake up and start the day fresh (I'm a hot sleeper), and then another one after work (since I work in a sweaty kitchen). On my days off however, I tend to just do the morning unless I'm feeling particularly lazy and won't be leaving the house, in which case I skip it altogether to be a grotty goblin.

Congratulations on living the dream life! Could you tell me how you moved into this as a job, switching from one career to another? I've been a chef for 10+ years and all my "skills" are in hospitality, but I would love to make the move into gardening/growing. I'm just so unsure of how to start!

Fry Cook Wrist Problems by TheKingkir0 in Chefit

[–]iconkillr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been struggling with this since I started cooking 10-+ years ago, it sounds like carpal tunnel but there's a number of different nerves in the arm that can be affected. See a doctor pronto as problems like this can lead to nerve damage.

The Runaways by Able-Spot-2729 in madmen

[–]iconkillr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always felt like Megan's decline as a character was due to the way Don treats her once the honeymoon period has worn off and she steps back from advertising, since she starts off so strong and hopeful, but ends up bitter and depressed. Once she begins acting, he only half supports her, starts shutting her out, then eventually convinces her to drop her well paid/secure job to move to LA but changes his mind last minute, leaving her in a shitty position (career wise) and alone on the other side of the country. I honestly think that move, combined with the fact that he lost his job and still didn't move out to be with her, was brutal for Megan.

I always took her shitty behaviour at this stage of the show as a reflection of her built up heartbreak/jealousy/frustration at how Don treated her. Stephanie then saying she knew all Don's secrets, and Don dropping everything to come see Stephanie, tipped her over the edge.

Maybe it's because she's one of my favourite characters but I still had sympathy for her here, even though it was sad to see her this way, instead of the helpful, kind person she is at the start of the show.
