Good lord yes, I had a mouse problem a few years ago- I store everything, especially cereal, into glass/hard plastic containers. You will not know horror until you’re halfway through your cinnamon toast crunch and suddenly see the big, chew-y hole you didn’t notice in the corner of the box ;-;

I will say, as a Brazilian, it was extremely wholesome to watch the Brazil subreddit team up with the Argentina subreddit to keep both flags up. Iirc, they even put a world cup trophy between both flags, as though sharing the trophy together.

This reminds me of my one and only 4DX experience, which was to see...Winchester. The horror movie about that big mansion in California with doors that go nowhere.

HA, the only reason my partner didn’t miss it is because I was sitting next to him, insisting he throw himself into the pit. Ok, so my reason was because I thought a funny dying animation would happen BUUUT, I guess it all turned out for the best? 

Yeah this was a bizarre take to me- I felt the impact as an American, in the 4th grade, in Argentina of all places. My friends would follow me around the playground to make sure the “terrorists didn’t get me”. It happened to be a year I had to follow my mom into the embassy a lot, and the air was SO sombre but united;…

This is amazing to me- I actually, randomly, do have a copy of 1995’s Tokimeki Memorial: Forever With You on PS1. For a few years I got mysterious packages from Japan with videogames in them (long story), and that was one of the titles I got. My Japanese is woefully rudimentary so I gave up after 10 minutes and…

I agree- big reader here, but outside of very specific artbooks and Essential novels, I’ve moved to digital. I can’t afford spaces big enough to house the collection I used to have, and besides, clutter makes me nervous!

holy moly Fashion SWAT, the beacon of my middle school years and 3am nights, laughing so hard I’d choke. Honestly that and the slender man stuff was the only stuff I accessed, which considering my age, was a miracle. 

I agree here, but sorry friend, can’t live without my dishwasher! I went a solid 25 years of hand dishwashing at home until I moved to the US, where those appliances are more ubiquitous. I am NEVER going back, my executive dysfunction thanks me (same goes for dryers! 25 years of air-drying and fretting over rain?…

Mine is Melissa Joan Hart as Clarissa (Explains it all)- as an adult I love off-beat styles like that and am looking for similar pieces for my wardrobe!

I thought she was great in Speak- it was a similar performance to Twilight but those choices work and make sense in the former, as opposed to the latter. The book was especially harrowing to read, just a quick (((TW))) for everyone, it’s about a girl becoming selectively mute after a sexual assault.

I seriously only go into neopets to play Pyramids every few weeks (if anyone knows somewhere I can play the literal same game, please hit me up). So I really appreciate this breakdown, it’s amazing what the community has had to deal with, jesus.

How are the games themselves looking so good after being in that environment? I actually don’t have any trouble believing someone would treat a precious collection like this- hoarder mentality, when left unchecked, looks so gruesome. But the cases only look like they have a lil bit of debris on them! How are they not…

I miss forums so much, damn. My favorite discussion/game forums went to discord and while I’ll go there occasionally, it’s really not the same. Sigh. 

This one continues to baffle me too- I’m on a sub for driving and we get so many teenagers asking how to get their license (with no details of what country/state/province they’re asking from, natch). I’m just bemused thinking that as young people who grew up on the internet, isn’t googling the first thing one does…

My mom, a retired nurse, still remembers being baffled at the amount of doctors she knew who did cocaine on the side. She could get the ones who smoked or were alcoholics to some extent- they’re more socially acceptable vices and so many medical personnel are stressed to the point of “do as I say not as I do”. But she…

Agreed- I made around 52k in DC in 2016, which is argued as a slightly cheaper city than NYC (sure but, BARELY any better). Lived without a car too, of course, with our metro/trains/available cabs and ubers- and could I do it? absolutely, I wasn’t in the poorhouse or anything... but it was definitely stressful and…

It’s plain racism, I know this. I just can’t wrap my brain around it- I was a teacher’s assistant for a while, and nothing in god’s green earth could ever posses me to lay a single finger on a kid (excluding the ones who demanded hugs, miss those lil kindergarten bugs).

How they presented themselves was NONE of my…

It’s the reason I have the PS1 theme on my PS4, I just can’t live without that amazing startup sound! 

A lot of my church friends switched to Anglican when they got the chance (or married into it)- it was the other major Church in our mid-sized Argentine town and pretty popular . I always liked their priest, he was so jovial compared to the dour dude we had.
