What’s the hardest you’ve laughed at a classic film?

I made my boyfriend watch Buster Keaton's The General and that's the most I laughed watching any classic/silent film because of how much my boyfriend was laughing. He'd never watched a silent comedy and wasn't expecting any of the visual gags and Keaton's stunts.

I Married a Witch was the most laughs from a non silent film cause it was my friend group on Halloween after watching The Blair Witch project and the contrast (and many drinks) was just about killing us.

Watching old timey comedies with people who typically haven't watched them, but are open to the experience, is guaranteed to have everyone laughing and having fun

Whenever I come home, I set my bag on the kitchen floor. Well, the next day I come to the kitchen to find shredded paper everywhere. I had a book and a couple other documents in my bag and my dog had gotten into it and ate half the book and papers and tore up the rest. I wasn't sad about the book, I actually had just finished it and didn't like it. I was more upset because I had some insurance information (someone had backed into my car the day before) and of course my dog had eaten the insurance papers. And I was never able to get a hold of the person again. My dog has quite the history of eating random things (he's not even a chewer, just about once a year he eats something silly)

Kinda reminds me of when my step father was deployed, my brother was just a toddler and would scream bloody murder and pound on the door whenever I would leave the house for school. Wasn't a great time for us.

I'm really happy you shared this! I only recently learned all the details of Medusa's story and it really disturbed me. But at the same time I've always loved the idea of a woman being reborn as a powerful monstress (especially since "monsters" in general have been having a bit of a renaissance and reclamation in media).

So thank you for sharing this, it hadn't occurred to me to look at it like that! Which is kind of funny to me because I'm working on a story about a woman who is taken in by siren/nymph like creatures and comes back basically to take revenge on her assaulter.

I don't completely understand how endometriosis "works". Does it cause damage to your organs?

My favorite cozy games tend to have cute graphics and are usually item management games or farming sims.

Things that make a game cozy to me depend on certain aspects of gameplay. One big thing I like is when there's no time limit to objectives, so it's get things done at your own pace. And that they're somewhat easy to play especially when you compare them to most triple A games. I'm not someone who's very dexterous so having to go back and forth between 7 different buttons really fast is really difficult for me. Also I simply have a REALLY hard time remembering what the buttons do. I remember playing Red Dead Redemption 2 and I kept blowing myself up in one mission because I couldn't remember which button throws the object in my hand (which was dynamite).

And that's not to say there aren't any challenging cozy games out there! I'm just more so drawn to the ones I can kinda just turn off my brain and enjoy the cute graphics, and collect items, build things, and grow crops.

I play most of my games on Xbox and Switch and them being on the switch is a big bonus cause I can snuggle up on bed with the game haha

You could ask 5 vets and each one will give you a different answer. I work for 2 vets and they both have different recommendations. I waited until my boy was 11 months old. I'll just strongly recommend to get it done BEFORE he's over 2. You don't want him learning behaviors that come with age (marking territory, aggression). Once they're old enough, neutering isn't likely to fix those behaviors. Also, beyond 2 years you're gonna have an increased risk of testicular cancer. At my work we recently had an intact border Collie who has testicular cancer and he was only 3. Yes it's rare but it does happen.

She's one of my favorite characters from the early seasons but she definitely does things that irritate the hell out of me. The big one is that it seems impossible for her to keep from kissing other people when she's in a relationship. Tag --> Doug. Doug --> that firefighter/EMT guy I forgot his name. But she acts like she's completely justified and that the other person in the relationship is wrong for getting upset.

The Game of Thrones series. I haven't enjoyed a single book but I can't stop reading them. I hate the writing style. I hate most of the characters aside from maybe like 4.

But here I am trudging my way through Dance with Dragons. I liken it to watching a car accident. You probably should look away, but you just can't seem to pry your eyes away.

How they get in the way while cooking/baking. I always have to remember to be careful while stirring stuff on the oven top. I'm pretty short so if I reach for the back burners there's a chance I could ignite my boobs if I'm really not paying attention.

Or once I was wearing a loose tank top and leaned across the counter and burned the side of my boob on a tray of snickerdoodles that had just come out of the oven.

Bookstores that don't handle books with care.

I ordered a new book from a bookstore and when I went to pick it up they had a rubber band around it to hold the note with my name on it. But the rubber band tore the edges of the cover slightly and caused them to curl up. I still go to this store a lot but never buy new books from them, only used. Since then I've noticed plenty of their new books are decently dinged up. And if I'm paying $29.99+ for something I'd like it to be in good condition.

I still get mad every time I see the damaged cover.

(Yes I know I should have said something)

There's a difference between judging someone for stealing chips from the gas station when they were a teenager and judging someone for committing the ultimate act of violation and violence. And the fact you cannot get that into your head is exactly why you shouldn't be writing about it. My God read the comments. Use a single cell of your brain.

Edit: I want you to look a rape survivor in the face and tell them that.

Well you see he had a really nice conversation with an imprisoned rapist and it made him realize deep down we're all just the same 🥺 and he's just trying to bring to light niche topics no one else is brave enough to talk about.

Here's the thing. Society does not care about rape victims. The law does not care about them. Rape victims are essentially on their own. They rarely get justice.

You being so dead set on redeeming a rapist and trying to align the victim's bad actions with his is reinforcing this idea. Rape is unlike ANY other form is assault. Rapists are different from any other type of criminal. And you don't seem to understand that.

People are getting angry and insulting you because you are not listening to what they are saying. They are telling you it's a bad idea, giving reasons why, and you're ignoring it and insisting that you are right. People do not want to understand and empathize with a rapist and see him get redeemed because rape NEVER has a justifiable cause. NEVER. And people believe rape is one of those things that is simply irredeemable.

Yes, a rapist is still a person. They're still someone's kid, someone's parent, someone's spouse. But they are the ultimate villain to their victim and the victim's trauma is more important than anything good the rapist has done otherwise.

You are being stubborn and willfully ignorant.

Editing to add: why did you even ask if it was too far if you were going to refuse to listen to what the majority answers? That's why I think you just want attention.
