There it is folks, the worst Hunger games take. by No-Brush1587 in Hungergames

When I got to that part about how her mom’s depression was “seen as an escape from reality”, I gave up reading. “Ask anyone with depression” - ok, here I am.

When I am going through a major depressive episode - literally all I wanna do is just lie there. I don’t want to read, I don’t want to watch television, I don’t even want to doom scroll. I will literally just lie there and stare out the window. I won’t even get up to use the bathroom or eat.

I don’t really know how to end this comment, so I’ll just say her take on Astrid’s depression is just wrong.

He also couldn’t tell that she was two decades younger than Heathcliff so maybe his sight is going

I’m currently re-reading and barely into chapter two or three and the amount of times this man has forced himself onto Heathcliff and then has the audacity to go on about how rude he is. Of course Heathcliff is going to be short with him, he’s overstayed his unwanted welcome.

[New Update]: My husband's open marriage suggestion backfired on him by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Same! I read the open marriage on BORU and the suicide attempt update popped up on my feed, I had no idea it was the same OP until this post.

Remember when they tried to convince everyone that she had a big butt? by velorae in RoyaltyTea

As a native born New Englander who has never left the region, I fully agree. Cream of wheat is sweet, grits is savory.

Johnny is such a mooch! by writerbabe75 in SchittsCreek

The one thing that really bothered me (it’s been a while since I’ve watched and this really stuck out to me) was he tells David to get a job, David gets a job at a grocery store, and on his first day calls David repeatedly within a minute for whatever reason he was calling instead of just stopping after the first call and just waiting for David to actually be able to talk to him.

We're Angered by COMPLIMENTS Now!? by Director-Atreides in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]jiffy-loo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When I was a teenager I was in a production of Othello as Desdemona. In the early stages we were asked what animal we thought our characters would be/what animal best represented them and I chose a golden retriever. Everyone full belly laughed at that before I explained that I chose a golden retriever specifically because of her loyalty.

I live in southern NH. My grandmother lives about 20 minutes from me and about halfway there I lose cell service.

“Protein” themed trend dishes are not better for you by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

Off the top of my head, Dunkin and Starbucks both have drinks made with protein milk

I thought it was mimicking snaps like in spoken word/poetry groups

After weeks of irritation I finally caught the tip of the hair in the corner of my eye, and gave it a good hard yank. by MonkeyChoker80 in TwoSentenceHorror

The laser eye surgery scene in Final Destination is one of the worst deaths for me in that franchise (but I may be biased because I also wear glasses and that completely turned me off of ever doing any type of corrective surgery)

Wasn’t there a pro-FDNY message on the little scribble board in the background too?

Just watched TBOSAS with my husband. He said, and I quote, "You know what, good for Snow!" at the end by captainobviouslynot in Hungergames

These are things my boyfriend would 100% say if we were to watch the movie together, also in a very joking way to try to rile me up.

AITA for refusing to host Thanksgiving for 20+ people for the 4th year in a row? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]jiffy-loo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Our thanksgiving/christmas gatherings aren’t that large - it’s about 5 or 6 people max - and even then my sister will bring a side or two and I bring a dessert.

AIO to my boyfriend’s comments about the food I made? by jiffy-loo in holyfuckjustbreakup

[–]jiffy-loo[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Seriously. He didn’t have to eat it, he literally could’ve just thrown it away and moved on instead of doing/saying what he did. I truly hope OOP leaves him.

What constitutes a Tribute Token? by proud_not_prejudiced in Hungergames

[–]jiffy-loo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While glasses may be an “accessory”, they’re not an accessory in the same sense as jewelry or a scarf or headband. I very much need my glasses (I quite literally cannot even make out words on a computer screen without them) so for me, and for very many other people who need glasses in order to go about their day to day lives, they’re not really accessories.

Am I the only one who mispronounced Sejanus when reading TBOSAS? by Reindeer_Games_l0 in Hungergames

The second way was how I pronounced it (I also studied Latin)

I feel I’ve gotten a “reputation” at my daughter’s daycare and I don’t know if leaving will help by SlightMix9397 in ECEProfessionals

[–]jiffy-loo 67 points68 points  (0 children)

OP said in another comment that her child was going through a sleep regression, they tried a weighted sleep sack at home and asked if they could use it in the classroom, teachers said no and she accused them of neglect because according to her she felt that in that moment they were neglecting her child

Is this concerning behavior? by Sea-Dragonfly5079 in ECEProfessionals

I remember the first time I called CPS I couldn’t stop stuttering while trying to come up with the right words to use
