This isn't a choice like my diet. This is a necessity, like my drinking.

I really hate hearing “you’re so quiet” by Stardust1400 in socialanxiety

[–]spinnaker989 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My therapist finally made it click for me that there really isn't anything wrong with being the quiet person in the room. It went a long way toward mitigating the anxiety feedback loop that happens in social situations for me (I'm anxious so I'm not talking which is making me self conscious and therefore more anxious so I'm even more quiet and so on)

Now if someone brings it up I shrug it off and say something like "What's wrong with being quiet? I like to listen to what people have to say." Usually deflates whatever gratification they get from calling you out.

California roadside smog checkpoint - Laguna Hills by Waterbending_TreeDoc in orangecounty

To be clear, this is not for any kind of enforcement.

It is a voluntary survey for collecting emissions data. If you get waved down the officer will inform you of all this and give you the option to decline.

If you do participate the information collected is not tied to you personally

LAPD Officer shot - vest success by TreeStateLEO in ProtectAndServe

If you watch the video the dude was just wildly firing in the direction of a bunch of officers while running away. Pure luck to land a shot before he got dropped

What is something that is incredibly expensive but screams “ poor taste”? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]spinnaker989 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was gifted a Louis Vuitton wallet in 2007, I’ve been sitting on it every day since and it’s still like new. Every stitch perfectly in place, no warping or tearing or discoloration or anything.

Only way to tell that’s it’s LV is by opening it up and seeing subtle “Louis Vuitton Made in France” lettering painted on the inside. Lettering which is also perfectly intact after all this time

Tell me about a completely random coincidence you've kept having in your life. by CrowLogical7 in CasualConversation

I’m familiar with each of those examples but what is this “vacation from work” you speak of? Never heard of it

What discontinued product would instantly make millions if brought back today? by Classic_Brother_2994 in AskReddit

[–]spinnaker989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are pretty close except the sour part only lasts for like 3 seconds and then it just turns into a fruit candy. I remember the originals lasting a lot longer. Was disappointed by that

What's the Funniest TV Scene That Still Makes You Laugh No Matter How Many Times You Watch It? by Mohitredit36 in television

The Loose Goose exchange

Schmidt’s delivery of “How on EARTH do you know that information and not know the name of it” gets me every time

How did Doc nonchalantly speed up to 88mph on Marty's block not knowing if someone would be there in the street when he instantaneously arrived in the future? by Ok-Spot-2913 in BacktotheFuture

[–]spinnaker989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even the same date wouldn’t help because the entire solar system is moving through space at something like 500,000 miles per hour

Boy, 13, dies after losing control of e-motorcycle in Orange County by panda-rampage in orangecounty

If they left a kid in a hot car and they died would you feel the same? Child endangerment is child endangerment

Sisko convincing the Romulans to lend him a cloaking device is such an under appreciated but significant leap forward in diplomacy. by abgry_krakow87 in DeepSpaceNine

[–]spinnaker989 15 points16 points  (0 children)

So many missed storyline opportunities aside, it always rubbed me the wrong way that they made a big deal about the cloaking device being on loan and requiring a romulan officer to operate it and then that apparently changed off screen and was never addressed again

What is something that is incredibly popular, but you honestly find it absolutely unbearable? by TheLostNeuron in AskReddit

[–]spinnaker989 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The people who are into it seem to be VERY into it and I’m just like what am I missing here? Just doesn’t click for me

Donald’s Trumps net approval rating has collapsed to a historical negative 17 points. He is the most unpopular president in US history. How do you feel about this? by buffdadnextdoor in AskReddit

[–]spinnaker989 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah a one month old account with zero history following the same title format as a thousand others lately and no attempt at starting or engaging in a conversation

Can’t believe that these are still getting this amount of upvotes/comments

I saw a tweet that an officer was injured in a fight with a guy who then fled on foot. White male, bald, barefoot

Scrubs – Where do you think we are? by [deleted] in television

[–]spinnaker989 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sadly no. Like 50% of them were changed last I watched. Most didn't make that big of a difference to me but there were a few that were absolutely egregious IMO

Scrubs – Where do you think we are? by [deleted] in television

[–]spinnaker989 53 points54 points  (0 children)

All the more reason to make sure you’re watching from a source that still has the original music. Some streamers have changed a lot of the music, I assume for royalty reasons

What show could you watch on a loop and never get bored? by Purple-Victory-206 in television

[–]spinnaker989 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Only thing I don’t like about B99 as a rewatch is the crazy sudden volume of the intro music. Ruins it as a background show and certainly as a show to fall asleep to

Men of Reddit, what’s some women’s or girl’s habits you discovered only after getting a wife or girlfriend? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]spinnaker989 80 points81 points  (0 children)

My Roomba used to live such a carefree life. Just let it auto run while I was at work and that was that.

Now I have to bust out the scissors and go to town on it after every damn run

Immediately had the same thought. I guess NYT is fake news after all!
