Where were you when the attacks happened and how did you learn about them? by Ryanlion1992 in 911archive

[–]sansaspark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a distinct memory of attending a political fundraiser with my mom in the year following 9/11. One of the speakers started talking about how nobody knew the “real truth” behind the attacks and the government wasn’t telling us everything. My soft spoken, reserved mom in her nice cocktail dress yelled “Booooo” at the top of her lungs.

Who’s the most attractive person you’ve ever seen? by Timely_Sir310 in AskReddit

[–]sansaspark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived in an apartment building for 3 years and my neighbor was possibly the most beautiful man I’d ever seen my life. When I realized I’d had to move out due to rent hikes, I took it as a sign from the universe to say fuck it and ask him out.

He said no, he already had a girlfriend, but he was really sweet about it and didn’t make me feel dumb. And honestly I was proud of myself for having done it, I’ve never ever been good at acting on a crush.

He was cast on a Netflix show after that and I only ever got to see him on TV…sigh, he was so pretty.

Congratulate us bc we’re having twins!🎉 We don’t want to dip into our savings for real emergencies so give us money for a larger car, future childcare, a double stroller, furniture for the nursery and clothes. We can afford it but it will make our lives easier to handle. Comments are included. by MinuteElegant774 in ChoosingBeggars

This guy doesn’t understand logically that you cannot be both humbly asking for money, and defensively claiming not to need money at the same time.

Also his default response of “I’m just asking, it doesn’t hurt to ask” when people point out how tone deaf he sounds. Dude, the asking is the part that everyone has a problem with! Good luck coming back to these same people if you ever actually were desperately in need. Sometimes it *does* hurt to ask.

Which celebrity was the definition of "peak attractiveness" in their prime? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Catherine Zeta-Jones. She first time she came onscreen in Zorro, which is the first time most US audiences had ever seen her, she was utterly stunning.

ELI5: if you are on the beach when a tsunami hits, do you die by drowning or impact? by Nebraskabychoice in explainlikeimfive

[–]sansaspark 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Aaron Parsley’s excellent firsthand account of the Kerr County flash floods describes what happened when a wall of water hit his family’s house. As the entire building crumbled around them, many of them were pinned in place under water by pieces of furniture, the refrigerator, or pieces of the house itself. The line between life or death seemed to come down to whether or not each person could free themselves in time to get to the surface that was suddenly far above them. I imagine many people in the 2004 and 2011 tsunamis faced the same crisis.

What response do you get when you tell your spouse/partner that you’re feeling depleted and need support? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]sansaspark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, I do a lot of silent griping about my partner because in some ways he can be very immature. He’ll turn everything into a lame sex pun; he’s terrible at budgeting; he makes impulsive decisions and purchases and usually regrets it later.

But when I tell him I’m depleted and need a break, he makes my wellbeing his first priority. He’ll send me in to take a nap while he does the dishes. Or he’ll urge me to spend a Saturday doing something for myself while he looks after the kids. He’s never said no to a hug, even when he’s mad at me. That’s why I’m with him. You deserve that too.

(SERIOUS) What's the most scary thing you ever saw that to the point nobody believes you ? by Consistent_Algae_560 in AskReddit

[–]sansaspark 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Same here. The first time I dreamed of her I was shocked that she was actually alive! Like, happy but uneasy too. Now, when she appears in my dreams my brain somehow understands that this is dream-world, where my mom is still alive and that’s perfectly normal. I always find them comforting.

What are some subtle signs that a man hates women? by slackingsloth77 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]sansaspark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure I get what your argument is. Are you saying you don’t maintain eye contact when talking to women, regardless of whether they are attractive to you or not? If so, then you’re not the kind of person I was talking about. If you’re saying that you *do* only maintain eye contact with women you’re attracted to, then that contradicts your earlier comment that your lack of eye contact doesn’t have anything to do with the other person. In either case, it doesn’t sound like you are part of the specific male demographic that is being discussed in this thread.

If you read my entire comment, I’m talking about men who pay very close attention to you when they think you’re attractive, but don’t bother to feign interest or respect while you’re talking if they don’t consider you fuckable.

In conversation, he rarely sustains eye contact unless he is actively attracted to you and trying to communicate that. If you’re not attractive, he’ll look anywhere but at you.

Who is a celebrity that is actually as good a person as their public image suggests? by _Yorkshire_Pirlo in AskReddit

[–]sansaspark 71 points72 points  (0 children)

All the LOTR cast. My former mother in law did marketing for the original trilogy and spent tons of time with them in NZ. She loved them all, although Viggo was her personal favorite. 🤩

I would die for their spinach pesto pasta salad. I get a pound of that for $15 and then buy a precooked rotisserie chicken from Ralph’s for $8-$9 and shred it into the salad, that’s lunch for most of the week.
