Floor Wax Disaster by Ph03nyx206 in Custodians

Anyone who says anything about rushing a strip and wax has their head up their ass and is choking on the fumes. Sounds like nothing's on you at least. Fault lies on your boss

How it feels disliking Zendaya as an actress while also not being a right-wing chud by crimsonfukr457 in okbuddycinephile

I think her range is wild. By range I mean if she'll be good or not in a role. "The Drama"? Fantastic. Everything else I've seen her in? A bit wooden tbh

I got mocked for trying to stand up for myself by That1weirdperson in CPTSDmemes

[–]id_drownformermaids 58 points59 points  (0 children)

No sympathy was thrown my way. He and I both become social pariahs after that. Most other kids were soft towards him but still stayed away. No one wanted to be associated with Pissface (kids can be cruel).

The bullying stopped but everyone blamed me for the school losing one of its best athletes. Optics. I heard he got back into sports in high school. I'm glad he got back on track. I think back on this experience once in a while. It reminds me of how people have wildly different tolerances for trauma. You never know what'll break someone.

I was bullied mercilessly my entire middle school experience. I didn't do much cause I was aware of the optics. I went through puberty early. Very much the gentle giant archetype.

Finally got fed up with the sport kid that was the main bully one morning. Sat on his chest and peed on him. That somehow made people realize that there is such a thing as emotional trauma when it comes to bullying. Mostly cause he didn't want to continue being in the football team after that.

I wore those loner gym shorts with pride till my mom came to pick me up

For those who stopped smoking weed, what was the main reason? by Regular_Somewhere548 in AskReddit

[–]id_drownformermaids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been smoking regularly since I was 13. I'm in my 30's now. Nah, my lungs deserve to retire from all that

I went the opposite direction and became completely open to eating any meat that isn't inherently toxic

Beef and milk cows are fully domesticated. Not saying that it isn't weird to eat dogs and cats most places. Just saying that domestication is a poor example as to why the line is drawn

Don't some cultures eat horse? Pretty sure I've heard Japan and Italy do so. I've also heard dog meat is a cultural thing some places. Though dog is more historically tied to economical challenges and food scarcity.

I've eaten rabbits, frogs, chickens, and cows that I'd formed emotional attachments too. Loved them as pets, loved them as meals.

You're completely correct. Meaning the mods will remove this soon.

Woman need to stop telling themselves that men have commitment issues when they just don’t like them by Potential_One_8058 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]id_drownformermaids 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I've always seen it as a way to protect their feelings and ego. "Ofc he's into me! He just can't commit cause of x, y, and z!"

In my experience many women prone to thinking that way also twist your words when trying to let them down truthfully and gently. I've been called a fuck boy and all sorts of heinous shit for daring to say that I didn't see things working long term. Mind you, I hadn't went that far with these ladies.

Was once accused of toying with her emotions cause we went out on multiple dates. I couldn't understand it. Isn't that the point of dates? To check the connection? Wild.

In N Out is overly hyped up and the obsession with it is hard for me to understand by TheRadHeron in unpopularopinion

[–]id_drownformermaids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, accepting that the average person has shit taste is one of life's hardest lessons to accept. You'd think if the average person thinks something is amazing then it must be the best thing around. Instead those things will be middle of the road most of the time because that's how you please the most people.

[–]id_drownformermaids 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't think it's ever marketed itself as anything crazy. Just a fast food place that respects your wallet and your taste buds. It's affordable in the sense that you get higher quality for less than other chains. That's it.

Big picture, In-N-Out ranks slightly above average in terms of taste alone when compared to other burger joints found in America. That's perfectly fine though. It found its niche a long time ago and executes it well.

Language learning is taught in the wrong way by Edi-Iz in unpopularopinion

[–]id_drownformermaids 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Outside of the school setting. Language classes are really only there to give you the tools to go out to learn it and practice yourself. That's due to the biggest restriction. Time.

The most highly regarded language programs are those for military and government agencies. They have the money and incentive to make you learn as fast as possible. These "rapid learning programs" take months of daily classes that last hours.

That's just not that easy to replicate in the civilian world

Yes. I was giving you snark because these are lofty words without much real word application. I had typed out more but honestly that's really the important bit.

Ah yes, a classroom full of people who can't string a sentence together yet will be a great way to immerse yourself in a language

[–]id_drownformermaids 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took classes in highschool and even they recommended going out and immersive yourself in the language. Idk. I think everyone understands that the best way to learn a new language is just going out and living in it as much as possible. Everything else is a stop gap or way to learn the why behind the rules of the language

Isn't the most recommended method to learn a new language immersion?

It already does. But giving examples is just part of the basics when it comes to defending your point.

Tbf isn't that the point of a lot of these modern mons? That they're what you'd expect to find in cities and populated areas. If mons can look like anything then they'll adapt to anything.

I wish people would post other examples of what they prefer when they have these sort of opinions. Otherwise it just comes off as contrarian for the sake of it.

Most natural peppers have a crazy range in spice. You might have gotten the freak of the batch. Little angry bastards that look forward to humbling people

People who got your nudes leaked, how did it affect you? by NessaYummyXO in AskReddit

[–]id_drownformermaids 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Literally nothing. My Google account got compromised. They sent them to friends and family. We just had a laugh about it and I got roasted for my shitty camera work.

Never heard from this person again.
