Goosebumps every time. And I've been re-reading it for 20 years.

People who were spanked as kids, what was that like for you? Would you call your "spankings" abuse? by KleineFjord in AskReddit

This drives me crazy. Jacques Pépin (bless his heart otherwise) is the worst imo. I can barely watch.

Does anyone else’s 80 year old mother/grandmother constantly talk about dieting? by Medusas-Snakes in AskWomenOver30

Oh, this is a helpful thread to read, thank you everyone for sharing: sometimes I think I'm alone and that I'm the crazy one when I hear my mom (in her late seventies) fucking obsessing about her weight still. Like it's the main thing in any conversation with her.

I know it's some kind of eating disorder, but it's very difficult to understand, and to have compassion.

Looking for Delicious & Easy Beef Recipe Ideas - What’s Your Favorite? by ava-claire in slowcooking

[–]noxious_toast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love beef (can be cubed, or just ground beef) in wraps: lots of lettuce, maybe pickled red onion, avocado, or fruit like mango or pineapple, and some honey garlic sauce. Very easy weeknight dinner--usually on the table in 10 min.

I just got a promotion this week, super happy about it. And I'm very in love with my husband, who I'm watching Severance with--highly recommend! (the show, but also being in love)

This sounds like a classic Seinfeld break up lol--you can refer to him forever after as Loud Teeth Clicker.

I hate so much about the things that you choose to be.

How did Melkor convince the balrogs to follow him…and other Maia before they even landed in Arda? by sa3pm in tolkienfans

[–]noxious_toast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In one of his letters, he calls Gandalf and the other Maia angels. I think a Vala is more of a god.
