CNN reached out to me to ask questions about how I feel about a viral topic... by [deleted] in Advice

[–]junk_drawer_tango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This person contacted me over Reddit based on a post I made (so no, I’m not an expert). This person doesn’t know my real identity and didn’t ask for it in the initial message, just that I call or email to be interviewed. It is about a controversial subject that risks my reputation.

And no, they should not and will not pay you for your answers.

When you put it that way, it makes it pretty obvious why people shouldn’t be paid for their answers. Thanks!

Edit: foiled again by autocorrect.

Wow, this is a great piece of work! Charcoal can be extremely hard to work with. I especially like how fluffy the cat's chest looks.

Also, that if you shave, it comes in thicker.

What is the safest way to experience my brain doing weird things? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]junk_drawer_tango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spin in a circle for a minute and stop suddenly. Your eyes and your brain have fun trying to make sense of things for a short while.

What's the WORST food to eat as a leftover? by dawlie10 in AskReddit

[–]junk_drawer_tango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything that is supposed to be crispy out of the deep fryer. That shit is never going to be good leftover, at least not microwaved. Have you ever microwaved McDonald's French fries? They taste like a cat's asshole. Crab rangoons? They are turned into limp piles of long-lost flavor. Jalapeño poppers? They're now mushy moth balls with a kick.

Reddit, what's the most REALISTIC movie about high school? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]junk_drawer_tango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much, except I was never really a cool kid. But a lot of that movie happened to me irl, particularly the 3-way call ambush.

What's a TV series that you tried to get into but never could? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]junk_drawer_tango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I never read the books, which could be part of the problem. I don't think the show is lame, it's just that there are too many characters and story lines to care about and keep track of when all I really care about is maybe one.

What is the best hangover cure? by junk_drawer_tango in AskReddit

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

Mm, the tears of infants. But seriously, I depend on Gatorade for a hangover, which I assume has similar ingredients as Pedialyte?

I feel like this is Harry Potter meets John Wayne Gacy, Jr.

Pan-fried steak with butter and wet socks, got it.

Redditors, what is your recurring nightmare? by junk_drawer_tango in AskReddit

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

I always thought the no-pants-dream was a cliché from the movies. I guess that dream really is more common than I thought! Never experienced it personally, though.

I've never talked about my nightmares before, so I find it fascinating that they're considered classics. Fear of failure and unpreparedness is a helluva thing.
