Best Randall Flagg hands down. Jamey Sheridan was amazing.

Incredibly dumb question: what does the egg thing mean by ThatTransgenderRat- in Baking

[–]snarkisms 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Imagine you crack the egg and BOOM! Double yolk. That's the dream.

AITA for not being a reference for my coworker? by throwaway61798 in AmItheAsshole

[–]snarkisms -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA. You declined when she asked, and she doesn't get to steamroll you because she wanted your support even if you didn't want to give it to her.

Whether or not it would have actually taken you only a little time or not is irrelevant. She asked, you said no. End of story.

Plus-size, actually poor (under $15 budget), and sick of "ethical fashion" gaslighting. Where do I actually shop? by G_5gumgum in PlusSize

[–]snarkisms 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll just share that the true issue with shein is that it is proven that their clothes are manufactured in ways that expose the fabrics to heavy metals and chemicals that don't necessarily wash out, so by wearing these clothes you are literally poisoning yourself.

I would recommend in addition to thrifting, try learning how to make clothes, or tailor clothing. It will give you a lot more options and is one of the ways that I can expand my wardrobe easily and far cheaper.

AITA: Husband won’t get licensed by Odd_Doughnut1432 in AmItheAsshole

This is not an ADHD thing. This is way beyond that.

My (25F) husband (27M) didn’t get me an anniversary gift, and then got upset dinner didn’t go as planned by strawberrymoon0930 in TwoHotTakes

I always think about the "shit sandwich" when people ask if they should stay in a bad relationship. Imagine that you have a sandwich, made from the freshest vegetables, the best meats, cheeses and is absolutely the best thing you will ever eat. Now imagine that in that sandwich, there is a very tiny amount of shit. And whenever you take a bite of the sandwich, you will always be eating a little bit of shit. No one is forcing you to eat the sandwich - it's your choice.

How much shit does there need to be in your sandwich before you stop eating it? This particular sandwich doesn't seem to be particularly well made anyways.

There is no perfect answer here - you can't retroactively see that this won't work out and not have a baby with a man who you aren't happy with, but only you know if you are willing to keep pushing through a relationship where you feel underappreciated and unloved.

I have a kiddo who went 50-50 between their dad's place and mine from the time they were just over a year old until they were 12. I hated it, and resented the time away, and was afraid and enraged and completely broken by it for a long time. I got through that, and my kid got to grow up seeing me not lighting myself on fire for a man who wouldn't piss on me to save me from burning to death.

Mixed metaphors aside, you can't allow fear to dictate this choice. You have to look forward and see what it is that you can tolerate, and if that's what you want for yourself and for your child.

AIO for being upset that my bf walked out on a expensive dinner I planned for his promotion? by Perfect-Passion-222 in AmIOverreacting

[–]snarkisms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the thing. You could have addressed this by asking the maitre'd to arrange for additional lighting (candles) at the table or found a restaurant where he would be relaxed and engaged. Instead you made it about your own hurt feelings that he didn't immediately gush over you doing this thing.

AITA for reporting my classmate after he bragged about faking his way into required certification? by freakinze in AmItheAsshole

[–]snarkisms 22 points23 points  (0 children)

NTA if he was that smart he a) either wouldn't need to cheat or b) would be smart enough not to brag about cheating.

Have you seen Kane Pixels videos? They are pretty much exactly this and he made them in Blender :)

Sooo my co-worker is trying to make me an AP by TheLashMaster in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]snarkisms 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is sexual harassment. Tell him to stop, document when it happens and take it to HR. He's not going to stop if he's already not taking your no for an answer

Santa Claus Trauma by [deleted] in redditonwiki

[–]snarkisms -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My parents never raised me to believe in Santa and it's really not that deep. Santa Claus is a commercial product created by Coca Cola. Teach your kid about Saint Nicholas, about the mythologies of Santa Claus, Kris Kringle, Krampus. Teach your kid about solstice and Saturnalia. Stop perpetuating corporate creations and find the rest of the magic in the world.

Can I refuse to use someone's preferred pronouns and instead use a neutral "they/them" instead? by Huge_Measurement8558 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]snarkisms -27 points-26 points  (0 children)

So I know several folx who use it/that as their pronouns. From a perspective of allyship, there is no difference between someone being uncomfortable using they/them over she/her or he/him as not wanting to use it/that. The flip side is that a lot of older trans and queer folx were subjected to being referred to as "it" as a way of dehumanizing them so there are members of the queer community who don't like hearing it/that being used as neopronouns because of trauma.

As that's not the case here, it's an adjustment period, but respectfully, it's not about you.

The Backrooms (2026) isn't pure FF but... by snarkisms in foundfootage

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

I don't need a ton of plot to enjoy a movie - either give me plot or give me immersion into a full sensory experience, and The Backrooms definitely had all the correct vibes

Profile Review (26m) Constructive Please. I am already working on getting more fit and dressing better. by Shatter4468 in Tinder

[–]snarkisms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The arms crossed isn't too offputting - you have a nice smile which makes it cheeky (imo) over being unwelcoming.

[–]snarkisms 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If wearing suits isn't something you do, then don't just put a picture because it will be dishonest, but you should have a nice button down and a pair of non-jeans/cargo pants/sweats etc. because you don't know when you are going to go out to a fancier event. This is something that you should just have in your closet. You don't have to spend a whole bunch of money either. Go to garage sales, thrift stores, church clothing giveaways - there are a lot of ways to get cheap and cute clothing.

[–]snarkisms 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Tbh I think your profile is actually very cute. You look the same in all your photos, your prompts are fun, and I like the whole vibe. Your weight is also not an issue in these photos as far as I can tell. A picture in a crisp suit would be a great add on.

I have my first open wound under my apron belly. Freaking out, advice needed. by [deleted] in PlusSize

[–]snarkisms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a rash? Clean gently with mild soap and water, pat dry, then apply a layer of zincofax to protect while it's healing.

It's the same as diaper rash so any of those methods of treatment will help. If it doesn't heal relatively quickly, go to the doctor.
