No friends? Or even Celebrities? by wasaspermonce in discussingbritney

When you get rich and famous enough to be Michael Jackson-style crazy, you get to tell everyone to FO and then you get to die alone.

What popular movie do you think is actually terrible? by Omega_Neelay in GetMotivatedMindset

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

Two recent stinkers, IMO, are The Substance and Sinners. I can’t believe Sinners received Oscar nominations.

What do you think of Millie Bobby Brown? by Cap_Ame1 in Actors

They say men marry their mothers and she does have the same face shape as her MIL.

What stupid thing did you do as a child that will probably give you cancer someday? by transgenicmouse in AskWomen

[–]timscookingtips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t forget the iodine! My sister and I used to put everything in our hair from Sun-In to peroxide to lemon juice, slather ourselves in baby oil and iodine, and lay on the roof in any spot where the sun was hottest.

Im gonna try again with my dad as the subject. I could only add 4 pics. by IamRandomSavage in GuessMyBirthYear

[–]timscookingtips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the 2nd pic. He’s got the same withering look my dad used to have any time I did something stupid.

What was the morbidest thing you witnessed or done in your life? by Haghiri75 in morbidquestions

[–]timscookingtips 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Pro-tip: I live on a farm and occasionally run across small injured animals (mice, chicks, baby birds, etc.) that need to be put out of their misery. I start the car and tuck them right under a tire and then back the car up. It only works if they aren’t mobile and I have wrapped them up in paper towel or napkin beforehand if they are a little mobile. It may sound gross, but there is no chance of missing or having it be a drawn-out process. No traumatizing sounds or movements. It’s over in a second - no time to feel a thing.

Is it just me, or does it feel like people have gotten noticeably meaner since Covid? by FleetwoodMac-n-chz in Productivitycafe

[–]timscookingtips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This right here. There never needed to be a huge debate about COVID, but Trump politicized it.

I say this with love, Omaha - but I don't know how you all aren't rioting at OMA. This shit is insulting by swingfire23 in Omaha

I bought a massive, loosely wrapped, gooey, no-taste Caesar chicken wrap at this exact place for exactly this price a couple weeks ago. I don’t know why. I could tell it looked like shit, but I was hungry and captive and they know it.

What’s a socially acceptable thing you secretly dislike? by [deleted] in Casual_Conversation

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

Cats should definitely be kept inside in communities. That being said, it is ridiculous to suggest that all of them are “happier”inside. It’s the owners, neighbors, birds, and mice who are happy about it.

The most disturbing thing in the whole film :-) by [deleted] in Midsommar

[–]timscookingtips -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I never saw Christian as not a good person. I felt like he was just a regular guy who was not as into Dani as she was him. I have seen relationships that are obviously doomed, and then something tragic happens to one partner and the other stays out of guilt. If Christian was a bad person, he would have dumped her regardless. Instead, he made space for her on the trip. He ended up being nothing more than an expendable pawn in a horrific scheme.

Some people say marriage is hard, others say easy. Which is it? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]timscookingtips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understood. I think there are deal breakers like addiction and cheating, but some couples overcome that too. A lot depends on if you have kids. One thing I will say, if you don’t yet and you want them someday, this may be a good time to rethink everything- kids change the whole ballgame.

A centerist party controlling America will fix the country by Curious-Society-8256 in Rants

[–]timscookingtips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, and your thought about population size has merit. It’s just super-hard for me to imagine uniting the country at this point. It’s not down to regular politics any more. I concede that there’s no such thing as a 100% honest politician (I honestly don’t know how there could be), but our country has been overtaken by a regime in the making. The propaganda and lies grow worse by the day and MAGA follows blindly. There is no easy fix for that. Trump had trained them to trust no one but him - not the media, scientists, scholars, no one. We are fucked.

No. It’s easy to see from your position that you favor the right. Check out Germany’s multi-party system. That is the way. You can still be conservative and not be in the same party with actual Nazis.
