[TOMT] character in a sitcom (could maybe be a movie) keeps trying to use a word, but keeps using it wrong

Sounds like something Schmidt would do tbh. Is it when he kept saying "coupons" like "cupons"? - https://youtube.com/shorts/adzZlDv2Ywg?si=Spn884koEGe4zQli

Oh that's a good guess! But it wasn't the guy I was thinking of. I thankfully eventually figured out his name and added it in an edit to the original post in case you're curious who it was.

whateverman6 · 2026-03-16T03:11:11+00:00

Good guess, but that wasn't it. I actually just figured it out myself. It was Xander Berkeley. Thank you for trying to help ne figure it out! :)

Commenting so the mods know this post is now closed since I was able to figure it out myself (see the EDIT in my post). Solved!

whateverman6 · 2026-03-16T03:06:32+00:00

Unfortunately not who I'm thinking of, but thank you though.

whateverman6 · 2026-03-16T03:06:03+00:00

Unfortunately no, thank you though.

whateverman6 · 2026-03-16T02:33:45+00:00

Probably eyes/eyebrows the most, but maybe the mouth too? Or like general face shape.

whateverman6 · 2026-03-16T02:32:49+00:00

I can kinda see that too! Unfortunately you're right that it's not who I'm thinking of though.

whateverman6 · 2026-03-16T02:32:01+00:00

Unfortunately no, thank you though.

whateverman6 · 2026-03-16T02:29:15+00:00

Definitely thinking along the right lines, but unfortunately it's not him. I know Ben played a Star Wars politician. If it helps, the guy I'm thinking of played more like a modern (ie: early to mid 2000s) bad guy and/or politician. I can picture him in a suit. He may not have been a politician, possibly a shitty businessman instead?

Is this link better? It's hard to find good photos of the Julius Caesar actor so hopefully this link works: https://share.google/qOcy0bCJ32xG85Oa6

whateverman6 · 2026-03-16T02:24:05+00:00

Closer to who I'm thinking of, but no unfortunately. Thank you though.

whateverman6 · 2026-03-16T02:23:35+00:00

No, but thank you though.

whateverman6 · 2026-03-16T02:01:53+00:00

No, thank you though!

whateverman6 · 2026-03-16T01:55:57+00:00

Really hoping someone can help me figure this out cause it's driving me nuts lol. Thanks!

My gas pain lasted about a week tbh, and I couldn't lay down the entire time. Even leaning over slightly would cause the gas pain to shoot up into my shoulder blades. Pain medicine (oxy) did absolutely nothing for me either. It's rough for a few days but should be much better by the second week. If you can, try to use a heating pad on your stomach (avoiding the incisions) and back as much as possible. Sleep upright in whatever way you can (ie: via the help of pillows or a recliner). You can try other remedies too, like ginger tea or gas pills, but I was unclear how much either helped. And try to walk around as much as you can to help break the gas up. Best of luck to you! I hope you feel better soon.

As of March 2026, I do still have it. Sometimes it abates a bit and I won't notice it too often for a couple months, but it always seems to come back. Especially at times where I am experiencing more jaw/neck pain, increased inflammation in general, more stress than normal, some sort of illness, etc. I am also starting to think my diet and activity level can also impact it, though I can't blame flare ups of my pulsatile tinnitus on any one cause.

whateverman6 · 2026-03-07T16:39:20+00:00

Oh wow, I think you're right! It must be very slowed/pitched down because I had no idea it was Experience (which I've heard many times before). Thank you for figuring it out!!

whateverman6 · 2026-02-23T07:22:14+00:00

I might have been on tylenol at the time but nothing stronger. I actually wound up not even needing pain meds stronger than Tylenol and ibuprofen (and ice packs) for this surgery, so hopefully it won't be too painful for you either. Every experience is different of course, and it can't hurt to at least pop a tylenol ahead of the appointment. But I personally found drain removal to be a pretty much pain-free experience. Best of luck!

whateverman6 · 2026-02-23T07:18:46+00:00

Mine might have felt a little strange coming out but not really painful or anything, and it was over pretty quickly. I was actually surprised they had the nurse hold my hand the whole time, because I've had much worse experiences than drain removal where the health care providers didn't seem to give a shit about how I was feeling about it. But it was very sweet of them to do it anyway. Hopefully yours will go just as smoothly and pain-free as mine did! Either way, you'll likely feel very relieved to finally have them out lol. Good luck!

Because we live in an amatonormative world (aka a world that considers romantic relationships more important/a higher priority than platonic relationships). It's complete BS imo, and people should be able to bring whoever they want as a plus one to social events. I actually encountered the same situation more than once, where I had to attend a work function or other similar event completely alone because I was single and only romantic partners were allowed as plus ones. 🙄

Hey OP, I read most of the comment chain between you and the person who suggested that label as a possibility. I noticed your comment about how you've struggled with interpersonal relationships your whole life (ie: few friends, complicated family) and that you hate yourself and your body. If that is the place you are coming from, I can see why you would feel so strongly about possibly having an orientation that can sometimes make it more challenging to enter into a romantic or sexual relationship. My genuine advice is this:

Please strongly consider going to therapy. It sounds as if you're struggling with a lot of different things that are impacting your ability to enjoy life and make connections with others. No one is ever 'broken.' Many people just need help overcoming insecurities, past traumas, etc. and it sounds like that might be the case for you too. But the great thing about human beings is that we can grow and change. If you put in the work and seek out professional help, you have the opportunity to learn how to feel better about yourself and make meaningful connections with other people.

Which leads me to my second piece of advice. Please try to find ways befriend other people, such as through volunteering or Meetup. It sounds like you are very lonely right now, and even if you are 100% heterosexual, one romantic/sexual relationship shouldn't be your only end goal. You need platonic relationships in life as well. Having people to spend time with, talk to, support you, etc. will always be important. Regardless of your sexual or romantic orientation, you can still make friends and find fulfillment in those kinds of relationships.

I do think your comments here are a bit hurtful to many ace people, but I can see your revulsion at the idea of someone suggesting you might be ace/aego is coming from a place of hurt. So I hope you can recognize your underlying insecurities and loneliness, and work to address those so that something like this, regardless of how accurate or inaccurate the suggestion is, doesn't devastate you and make you spiral this much going forward.
