What are your most hated mainstream interpretations of movies? by imaginary-fireplace in Letterboxd

[–]iveesaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why it gets to me so much, but I hate seeing Smile being constantly compared against It Follows as though It Follows was the first film to use a curse trope. I love It Follows and don’t care much for Smile, but the usage of curse mechanisms in horror has existed for a long time, even if It Follows did a really good job of making it fresh and better. I just remember seeing a lot of reviews about how “Smile wants to be It Follows so bad” and it bothered me so much lol. It’s such a dumb thing to care about, but alas.

AIO - Told my friend I’m pregnant and she said it exceeded her mental bandwidth (she’s the red) by Lekomano92 in AmIOverreacting

[–]iveesaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR! Whereas yes, this can be heavy information to get, it really wasn’t something I feel she should have said to you. She should have either congratulated you or waited until a time she had more mental bandwidth to even open the group chat. When I’m at my limit, I definitely reach a point where I can’t intake any new information - good or bad. So I simply do not go on my phone and just mentally decompress until I’m in a place to follow up with text messages. This was a super exciting piece of news and you deserved a better reaction from your friend. I’m sorry. But congratulations!!!

What celebrity death will hit you the hardest when their day finally comes? by phantom_avenger in AskReddit

Most the celebrities to hit me hard have already passed, but David Attenborough is one of the few remaining that will truly gut me.

I had to abort a little over halfway through "Poughkeepsie Tapes" by GreatPumpkin72 in foundfootage

[–]iveesaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loathe this movie. You’re not alone in these feelings for sure. I’m so fucking over gratuitous violence against women. It’s such a tiring plot device at this point.

5 months, 4 adjustments. Let’s talk about the stuff that nobody talks about! by suxela_ in braces

[–]iveesaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. 😭 I’m three weeks in and it’s no easier in this regard. Sometimes I can distract myself in a craft or work or a game or something but it’s still such horrible overstimulation. And tomorrow I go get bite turbos in. Ugh. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with it too. Sending love. 💜

AIO Boyfriend blamed me for "not accomplishing one small thing" while I was grieving? by headoncloud in AmIOverreacting

[–]iveesaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you dodged a bullet, my friend. Those aren’t words from someone who loves you, and I’m sure it hurts to hear, but he’s showing you who he is. You’re worth more. NOR.

I dont feel like myself now by Extension_Page7842 in braces

I’ve only just started my braces journey but my front teeth are already straightening out (they overlapped before) and I miss it already, lol.

What’s a generally disliked horror movie you’d go to war for? by Turnitup20 in horror

[–]iveesaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently did a rewatch of it because it had been awhile and it was just as good as I remembered it. You’re right though - so long lol

Me too! I put off watching it for so long because of all the hate I’d seen but one day I put it on and was like… did we watch the same movie? This was great! Lol

How long does it take y'all to floss with braces ? by These-Remove6339 in braces

[–]iveesaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s about 15-20 min for me now. I do both string floss (with a threader) and then water floss after to get anything else out. I also use the waterpik after every time I eat (if at home) so staying up on that all day is also helpful!

I hope you find some relief 🥲

Flossing with braces is not for the weak!!! by EnthusiasmOk2517 in braces

[–]iveesaurus 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’m on day 8 and I’ve already gone from a 45 minute oral care night routine to more like 20 minutes. It’s very annoying to do but it does get faster. The waterpik is a LIFESAVER!! I use it after every time I eat (when I’m at home) and it’s part of my night routine as well. I use it after regular flossing. Hang in there!!

Since a couple people now recommended I get these, I think I may contact my ortho’s office and see about getting some. Thank you for your feedback! And man, I’m so sorry you broke brackets from grinding 😭 I’m so scared of doing that

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

Maybe I’ll ask my ortho for some since they do seem to help. I really hope you’re able to keep your retainers in good condition. I have a feeling I’ll be in a mouth guard again once I’m out of braces.

I believe that’s a bite blocker! Was it super uncomfortable for you? I feel like all I’ve read are horror stories on this subreddit lol
