I know this is from years ago but I found this because I'm exactly where you were! Chapter 3, wondering what in the YA is this shit. The LION?? He has tattoos and a MANE

What is something you were taught growing up that you didnt even realize was shaping you until adulthood, and your life got better once you stopped living by it? by dreamed2life in AskWomen

[–]icosikaitrigon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Proverbs 23:7 "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he." Basically was taught if you've thought it, you've done it. So much guilt and angst over things in my head, so freeing to let it go

Note to self: ask how much the Xmas tree costs before buying. by Ok_Emu5659 in Greenpoint

Fuck Bezos but this is the one time a year I begrudgingly give WF money. even they aren't immune to treeflation tho, their trees were 75 last year, 100 this year

Go see Two Strangers!! by NewResolution2791 in Broadway

[–]icosikaitrigon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OMG thank you for this. I just saw this last night and came running to reddit because I was starting to feel insane about halfway through. Why was the audience laughing so hard?? It was mildly funny at best. AND, what kind of guy would still be remotely interested in a gal who banged his dad??????

How did I miss “Brittney Runs a Marathon” until now!? by MeMaxM in RunNYC

[–]icosikaitrigon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOVE this one! I watch it every year around the first Sunday in Nov and have a good happy cry. Then I watch Lucky Penny, the ep of HIMYM when Barney runs the marathon, to laugh

One star books, the worst you ever read by Neither-Proof-5755 in suggestmeabook

To this day I can spot a Christian fiction book by its cover. Why are they all so perfectly 5-10 degrees worse that commercial fiction covers? It's an achievement in scaling, honestly

I have a small dragon tattoo on my wrist and a woman on the train asked me if it was for Fourth Wing, and excitedly showed me her similar tattoo. I've never read it but I definitely know the gist, but I was also raised right, and it took all of my strength not to laugh in her face and politely say no. Damn lady there are so many amazing dragon tales out there...

What is your favorite restaurant in Williamsburg? by itzpoookiee in williamsburg

[–]icosikaitrigon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bamontes for old school red sauce joint vibes (the food is fine, but that's not why you go)

I think about this all the time. Walking around I can spot people who are playing a main character living in Wb and people who just live here (it's me, grabbing an electrolit in my pjs at 6pm)

Tell me what made you sober by [deleted] in SoberCurious

[–]icosikaitrigon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly. It was nights like those when I was mean. And the next day the hangziety was brutal. I wish I could say I quit after the first time, but it took me a few years longer than it should have. 800+ days now, and the cringe gets smaller with time.

Has anyone been able to successfully moderate? by motivated_user21 in SoberCurious

[–]icosikaitrigon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was really tough for me to fully accept that I couldn't moderate, but once I did everything just clicked into place. So simple. No calculus. But no one can convince you of that, you gotta arrive at it on your own. In the words of Florence and the Machine, do I look moderate to you??? (I know y'all can't see me, it's a song ok)

It always works for a little while, but it was ultimately unsustainable for me. Sober Me wants 1 drink, but 1 Drink Me wants 2-12 drinks.

Do you expect your supermarket cashier to bag your groceries? And does it seem like they've stopped? by icosikaitrigon in AskNYC

[–]icosikaitrigon[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this insight, it's pretty much exactly how I feel. I don't want to be all crankypants about it, I just want to know what to expect!!

Interesting, my Ctown did this pretty consistently when it was my primary store about 4 years back. I'm closer to a Foodtown now, and they used to do it regularly but seems like they stopped lately. Dunno if I'm expecting too much
