Had a math test and the answer came to the amount of apples you'd need to have to bake an apple pie and how many whole apples you'd need to buy for it. The answer was 2.4, so I said you'd need to buy 3 whole apples. Teacher marked it wrong because ''you have to round down when it's below .5". I told her you can't get 2.4 apples from only buying 2 apples. She told me my answer was wrong, it was supposed to be 2 and ''we're done discussing this.'' She was a shitty teacher regardless, but this instance nearly made my head explode.
I used to really dislike several of my teachers because they would use bullshit logic to cover up their mistakes, rather than accept it and fix them. Now as an adult I realize that this is just a large portion of the adult world, and teachers can be morons just like other adults.
@@aaronwolk998 my uncle once punched me hard in the mouth because I had the *audacity* to correctly answer a riddle that he read out of a decade old book while we were camping. He directly challenged me with it because I was reading instead of entertaining my jackass cousins, and he threw a goddamn tantrum because he couldn't prove he was better than me. He then claimed that I was wrong, and his side of the family either all accepted it as fact or just outright ignored my distress. I had to go to the campground's Ranger station to get first aid for my split lip and body nose. All because a 14 year old couldn't *possibly* know how to get a fox, a duck, and some grain across a river. That's like the oldest brain teaser in the freaking book!
13:20 That actually made me mad. I've had doctors do this to me because my pain disorder doesn't have many physical symptoms with the exception of swelling and changes in skin color. Many doctors think I'm lying or exaggerating, and some make me exercise in their presence because they think it'll help me. All it does is leave me in more pain than I was before. This is a pretty universal experience among young people or teenagers with chronic pain disorders. So maybe don't just assume that people are playing up their symptoms?
I'm in the same boat - doctors are under significant pressure to verify that their patients are not simply seeking (usually opioid) painkillers, damn junkies ruin it for those that are actually suffering. A physician that prescribes painkillers liberally opens themselves up to a host of lawsuits and/or loss of medical license.
Yeah I’m young and have chronic pain too, but I’ve been fortunate not to have been forced to exercise yet thanks to having a fierce mother with chronic pain who’d tell doctors off if they did something wrong to me. The worst experience I had was a doctor telling me I was essentially having pain because I was too lazy, even though I explained to him that the “laziness” came from exercise causing more pain and later depression from chronic pain and having to drop out of the sports I enjoyed so much. I ended up leaving that appointment in tears.
About half a year ago one of my siblings emptied a while pot of nuln oil into my $50+ Bluetooth speaker, staining my desk and the carpet, not to mention destroying the speaker. I don’t know when they did it during the day, or why. All I know is I was painting some models, went up for lunch, came back down and then noticed that my speaker desk and carpet were drenched in the black paint shade. And it was still wet, that stuff dries fast. So I know it had to have been done in the past 15-20 minutes at the very most, since it was a lot of liquid. Went up to confront them, no one confessed, and no one replaced anything. I had to go out and buy another bottle of nuln oil, and I’ve been down a speaker ever since. I’m still utterly livid about that.
When my brother was in 4th grade, his class did a little trivia game. For the question, Name a country from the southern hemisphere, he raised his hand and answered Australia. The teacher refused to believe that Australia was a country AND a continent and didn't give him points. I wasn't even there and I'M still salty about it.
@@magk2524 Well, for my several decades its been called the smallest continent and the largest island. Where did you get the info that australia is part of someone other country's continent???
The first one reminded me of a day in fourth grade. The teacher told us that the moon didn't rotate. I pointed out that this wasn't correct, because if it didn't rotate then one side of the planet would see the "front" of the moon but the other side of earth would see the "back" of the moon. The moon does rotate, but does so in such a way that one side always faces earth. It's all a matter of your point of reference. From the view of the earth, the moon doesn't rotate, but if viewed from outside the moon's orbit, it absolutely does. She kept on insisting that she was right. When I was in my late twenties I finally read an astronomy book that outlined my exact argument. Felt a huge sense of validation, but I'm still super salty about it.
When I read about this, years ago, I was blown away by the fact that what is basically a satellite only ever shows one face to earth, AND in its monthly rotations, OVERLOOKS every single part of the earth. And no one seems to find this weird. There is not one segment of earth the moon does not "clock" in its rotations around us.
The Moon is tidally locked to the Earth because of Earth's relatively immense gravity pulling on it. If the Earth were less massive or if the Moon was further away, we would be able to see the other side from Earth as it rotated.
@@CaptainMonkeyFez So, like two ice dancers holding each other's wrists and facing each other as they spin around a common central point, if their arms were longer they'd see the back of each other's heads??? I don't think it works like that.
@@Kayenne54 The Earth and Moon don't spin around a common central point, the Moon revolves around the Earth. And it's more like if the ice skaters were too far apart to touch, their spins would become asynchronous. Point being, if the influence of Earth's gravity was much weaker on the Moon, it wouldn't be tidally locked and wouldn't be forced to rotate in sync with its revolution around the Earth.
In eighth grade my English teacher (I was born and raised in a non English speaking country) was tossing random words at the class for the students to translate/explain the meaning of, and use it in a sentence. When it was my turn she asked me to explain what the word vain means and I went with the producing no result/useless definition and "The man fought to save his farm, but in the end it was all in vain". She immediately told me I was wrong and that "it means being superficial". I told her that word has more than one meaning, but she would not budge and she refused to look up the definition in the dictionary. I am positive she immediately realized her mistake but she was not about to lose face in front of the whole class by admitting it. She was a great teacher in general so it really caught me by surprise. Well over three decades later it still makes me salty every time I think about it.
something i’m still salty over is that a couple years ago someone who used to be my best friend (clearly not anymore) publicly harass me and deadname me over relationship drama he shoved himself in and tried to act like “the hero” in. no, all he did was make me lose over half of my friends and give me major trust issues and unresolved trauma. my ex didn’t even WANT him doing it. he just wanted some insufferable excuse to stroke his already gargantuan ego at the expense of someone else’s trauma. still want a way to get back at him.
My mom had a delusional episode when she had a UTI about 2 years ago. She went through episodes like that in the past when her kidneys started to fail so I knew I needed to get her help but she kept refusing it. Then she started ignoring me and told me I was annoying and I immediately knew something was very wrong. She would never talk to me like that. I look back on it now and laugh but, at the time, I thought she was dying again. I've saved that woman's life at least 5 times, and one of them was when I was 16 (kidney failure time) another when I was 18 (lack of oxygen and other things) and then again when I was 19 or 20 when the UTI happened. Maybe I didn't save her life that time but I like to think I did.
In response to "What are you still salty about. In elementary school we had recess and the lunch but we were only dismissed to lunch one class at a time depending on how well behaved we were. The staff was supposed to make sure everyone was quiet but would just stand in silence waiting for us to be silent which if you know anything about elementary students you know that won't work. My class was the worst out of all of us sometimes keeping us for half of lunch. There was one point when the vice principal went to review us, go over the rules again etc. I raised my hand to ask what if the staff doesn't do their job and kept it raised until she walked next to me, looked me dead in the eyes to say. "Is it kind to put your hand in someone's face?" Anything I said after meant nothing.
Man, that video game one _really_ depends on whether living the game is just as easy as playing it, or whether you actually have to do everything manually.
I would do hollow knight, there's a steel soul for a reason and I've beaten it. Even if some people clock it as difficult, once you know your stuff it's pretty easy and you can kill most bosses first try (unless it's Watcher Knights, but you don't need to kill the dreamers if you're going back to the real world eventually.)
@@demetria-n sure, you come back a month later with a bunch of microscopic pebbles and a really sharp needle. You can't use spells bc you are not made of void like the knight
@@blueee0088 I'm not sure size is important, but I'd still come back with a whole bunch of magical charms, some rare ore, a tear that makes me immune to acid, a charm that either unites me with void so I can use spells or a charm that gives me infinite soul, Salbura's luck, the crap I got from Sly, some complete maps, etc., etc. Lots of cool things, and who knows what geo would be worth IRL.
The question abt speaking all languages or playing all instruments is actually kinda the same. Arts like music are already a language in themselves and can express emotion to any person no matter the language, as long as they can perceive the piece.
Few yrs back i had a convo with a younger cousin that was just complaining about the amount of clothing weve destroyed from periods and her uncle (another cousin) cam outta nowhere, yelled at me for grooming her and told my cousin she should only talk to her father about that. Then we were separated and he wouldnt let her talk to me rest of the day. I talked to her father about it and he didnt give a crap. He told me “i dont have a period so it wouldnt be much if a conversation” My respect for her uncle plummeted into the negatives
this still makes me sad and mad to this day when i was about 9, i went to horse riding camp in germany, i speak german, but at that time it was not fluent at all. i was paired up with this 13-15 year old, and she was a very good rider and knew the entire stable very well. i told her im not the best at german, but she was always rude, and always asked me to help her get things, it was my first day. i didnt get a tour. there were 4 stables and 3 barns. i didnt know where anything was. i come back empty-handed, she sighs loudly, shoves me aside and says im practically useless. she always kept saying ' why are you even in germany? ', and that hurt. im german, raised in asia, i dont practice german that much. afterwards she complains about me. next, when we went riding, we used a saddle i wasnt familiar with, i use english saddles, they used western once. so i had trouble dismounting, and it was uncomfortable. when i took too long, she yanked me off. later at dinner she was complaining and shitting about me with her friends i know i wasnt a good partner but this really fucking stung my confidence in german kinda shattered ever since
I was quarantined from school for five school days and they called me up to the office it had me stay there for the rest of the day. They marked me absent almost all of those days and come to find out I wasn’t actually supposed to be quarantined and it was a mistake. I had done all my work during that time as well. They excused most of my absences but they still left absences on days that I did what I was supposed to do.
There was a certain video game I was really into as a teenager and there was a couple of characters in it with great chemistry. They were very cute, I shipped them very hard, and the game let me. HOWEVER. In a game with 3 possible routes, the developers neglected to mention until halfway through the DLC route, which was released a whole TWO WEEKS after the other 2 routes, that these 2 characters just so happen to be *cousins.* This is these characters can get *married* in this game. They can have 2 children together. And you neglected to mention that they were cousins for TWO AND A HALF ROUTES?!? I am mad. I am mad now, and I will be mad later, like the back of a baby dolphin, I am *salty.* Just so... much... *salt.*
I went to my grandma's pentecostal church, and someone proceeded to ask me "Did you chose to cut your hair?". Yes. I did. No my parents did not force me. I like to imagine them saying that to a cancer patient.
"You are teleported back to 2001 Terminator style (Butt ass naked), and end up in the middle of Times Square. What do you do or say to convince people you're not a stoned homeless person?" I'm fairly certain that the randomly appearing space time bubble that precedes my arrival would clue people in on that. On a side note, considering how packed Times square can get, that randomly appearing bubble is going to take a few people out.
In sixth grade, my uncle was dumb enough to go to jail and had to go to court, causing my grandparents, mom, and aunt to go to his court case on the night of my first concert. My aunt told me to stop holding a grudge cause he felt guilty. Good, not my fault you broke the law and are the golden child of my grandparents
16:55 Similar to the 80/20 rule. Basically 80% of the result comes from 20% of the cause. It's weird where you can find examples of it. 80% of crashes are caused by 20% of the bugs, 80% of complaints come from 20% of the customers, etc.
I had actually HAD a pair of soap shoes lol. But being poor I had gotten them from a Goodwill long after the Sonic Adventure craze was over. Eventually I also managed to get a Dreamcast and Sonic adventure, and by then I had long since used up the tread on the shoes and threw them out not knowing what I'd had. I always thought that plastic plate on the sides of the soles was just an added arch support, and infact those shoes WERE the only pair I'd been able to wear without my orthodics from a scooter accident. Had never tried to grind once.
Reese's Cups ... legit my mom got me some just a few weeks ago while I was on my period as a kind gesture. I ate one cup and gave the other to my mom because it tasted WAY different. Like, CLEARLY different. Kind of reminded me of the chocolate knock-off brands use, or like really cheap European chocolate. That's legit my favorite chocolate and it just tasted bleh. I had a friend say she's pretty sure chocolate is ruined because of a surgery she had [she noticed a taste change after] but I legitimately think that it is because chocolate is just ruined. I had heard in a video a few years ago that a lot of them are cutting Cacao completely out as best they can and making chocolate with vegetable oil and stuff to save money. And that the companies have been slowly transitioning. I even saw a survey that was talking about making the change and asking "So long as the taste doesn't change, would you care?" and I was like "Yes." because that could change other things, but it seems it's changing a lot. Like when people say "Coke Zero and Coke taste EXACTLY the same" they do not. They taste noticeably different. I imagine this "As long as the taste doesn't change" is the "So long as we TELL YOU it tastes the same" type ploy. -- Adding: I think that same thing or something else talked about how major companies like Mars Chocolates actually had a falling out with Cacao Farmers especially since a lot of consumers found out the majority of it is from abusive slave labor kind of like that of the diamond industry so they were trying to switch away from using any chocolate at all to A. punish the cacao industry for price changes and B. to appear to consumers like they were equally horrified and trying to move away from that. But ... this could be a totally different thing/a speculation I read so I'm adding it to the end.
For me Coke and Coke Zero DID taste the same for years. I've been almost exclusively drinking Coke Zero for 5 years now, and regular Coke is definitely sweeter, like now it tastes like a mouthful of sugar to me😅 As for the Reese's Cups, its entirely possible that the change in bean could be the cause - If they've gone with fair trade beans now then they will taste different due to slightly different growing conditions (much like how the location and growth of coffee beans has subtle effects on the flavour). Aside from this, anything from methods to the type of sweetener or fat included (whether its milk or a milk alternative) can change the flavour enough for it to be noticeable.
Coke and coke zero have always tastes the same to me. The only time coke tastes different is when it's an actual different flavor, like cherry coke or something.
I’m an over thinker. I was on a student trip up into the mountains of Greece with a bunch of students. We were all dressed nicely for a dinner with the local Greeks. In these mountain towns, most stores close by 4 pm, so we had only a cafe and a small jewelry shop open. Girl rips her dress in the back, and she runs over with my sister, who had told everyone that I had something for everything. I had a sewing kit and we pinned the dress shut in the meantime.
My friends told me that nobody likes me. They're better friends to me now and they have genuinely built up my self esteem with compliments but damn, there was no need for them to say that
20:23 P-trap. Shaped like a letter P on it's side. Used on sinks, floor drains and urinals. S-trap looks like the letter S. Siphons water away when water is rapidly added. Siphon is broken by air (which is why toilets cough at the end of the flush) also not supposed to be used by sinks as it lets gas through. This is why the toilet bowl is supposed to fill up as the tank fills up.
What am I still salty about? Three things from school, one from a carnival. Grade 6 music class, we had to write down words with different syllables. Everybody else was getting loads of praise from the teacher for 2, 3, or 4 syllable words, then I proudly told them I found a 5 syllable word, Macadamia. Zero fucks given from anybody, including the teacher. I barely even got acknowledged for my 5 syllable word. I was absolutely crushed. That same teacher was also the one who held everyone back during recess and lunch for a few people talking, which was supposed to make the rest of us peer pressure the talkers into behaving because their behaviour was getting everyone's lunchtime taken away. I was the unpopular, then-undiagnosed Autistic kid; the chatty clique weren't gonna give a crap that they were taking away MY lunchtime! All that did was make me hate that teacher and turn me off of music class for several years, which was extremely detrimental when at that time, I wanted to be a famous singer. Year 11 and 12 English teacher's favourite type of assignment was analysing newspaper articles and then writing an essay about them. To this day I could not tell you what I was doing wrong, but every single essay I produced came back labelled as summarising, not analysing. I even got one back at one point with a single paragraph circled with red pen, with red capital letters beside it saying "THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO BE DOING"; I couldn't see any difference between that paragraph and the rest of the damn essay. And this woman had the audacity to say to my parents' faces "Oh, I know she knows what she's doing". THE D'S ON MY SATS WOULD DISAGREE WITH YOU, LADY! I clearly hadn't the slightest CLUE! (unless she meant I knew what I was doing by deliberately misbehaving, which wasn't the case at all; I may have been a poor student who rarely turned in homework, but that was because I struggle with Executive Function and getting things done on time; nothing at all to do with misbehaving.) And any time I tried to ask her for help, she was nowhere to be found or too busy to help. Teddy Bear Picnic carnival, where they had a bunch of different contests during the day, culminating in a contest judging your teddy bears for various categories, including smallest bear. I brought along a teeny tiny teddy not much larger than my thumbnail specifically for that contest, and I entered using $2 of my allowance to enter(entry was a gold coin donation, and I think my allowance at that time was about $2 a week). About halfway through the day, a girl a few years younger than me won a small teddy the size of a fist. She proceeded to enter that brand new fist-sized bear into the contest for the title of smallest bear. The fist sized bear won, and I was physically restrained from going up there to protest because "you'll just be stealing her prize". B****, that was MY prize. That was stolen from ME. Not to mention, I WASTED my tiny allowance for the privilege of having that prize stolen from me! I know it's not a big thing, and everybody else involved has probably already forgotten about it, but that tiny grain of injustice still itches at the back of my mind sometimes.
the dermatologist melanoma story sounds a lot like she had a coworker who had melanoma and it looked like a bit on ink on the skin, and she got envious that the coworker got to "just collect more money from compensation"
For an April Fools joke, I so badly wanted to do a long con prank to my Trekkie roomie involving Tribbles, but alas those things were a little too expensive
I remember once my brother in law said something about a 40kg sword, and I was like “ I don’t know how much a sword is, but that is WAAAY off” my entire family then proceeded to all start howling with laughter at me for saying that a sword could weigh anything less than 20kg. That was like 15 years ago and I’m still mad at them about it. Now that I’m a history buff and know exactly how much real swords weigh, I’m even more mad about it.
A one handed sword can weigh anywhere between 0.5-1.5 kg or 1-3 lbs. Two handed sword are 1-3kg or 2-6 lbs. So there’s a huge range of how much they can weigh, but my family was still way off.
for the " whats your biggest weakness" dont say random crap, be honest. this question is mostly to see if you have some self reflecrion and insight. most of the time they dont even care what your weakness is, or even they will try and see if its something you are working on improving. when i went into an interview for my current job i said straight out thar im lazy, but also how that was a good thing. because im lazy i want to finish my wotk quickly, so i work at a very high pace to get done as quickly as possible, and it also means i can work verh well under pressure, and often will try and find inventive ways to make a task faster and easier. that answer was the sole reason i got the job instead of someone else. be honest, and know how to make your weaknessess work gor you!
0:00 In 5th grade, me and some of my friends went to a local museum for a Science Bowl. Our team was exactly 1 point away from tying for 3rd place. There were no prizes for runner-ups, and if we had gotten that extra point, it would have been the first time in years that our district won
I got a salt story of my own. There was this retro gaming shop I used to frequent when I was younger. One day I asked if they had any copies of Mega Man X3 for the PS1. The guy there said there was no version of X3 for the PS1 and that it was only a SNES game. Years later I get the X collection from that same store. Guess which version of X3 it had?
8:56 See, I would upgrade my mailbox (if my landlord would let me) except the only packages I ever get delivered I DO NOT want left out there. Either bring it to the door, or taking back to the depot for me to collect.
My teacher made my class tape our notebooks together in 7th grade. He also didn’t let us use pens or markers for our notes. That was so annoying and it was never worth it. Ruined taking notes for me for awhile. I’m still salty about it today and I’ll be salty about it for the rest of my life.
If I'm ever in the market for a new house, I'm going to buy a lot and hire my own contractors. That way I know I'm getting quality work. If I decided to go into one of those pre-built housing communities, I''ll want to look at what contractor they used to see if it was a case of 'low bidder wins' or 'we paid a little extra to get decent work.'. You can look online and see what other people have to say about the quality of the homes they build. Not worth the lower sale price, if you spend most of the first few years having to get someone to come out to fix shoddy work that never should have happened in the first place.
33:48 So this one's gonna sound weird as hell, but a few months before the big C started spreading, I started stocking up on antibacterial soap, hand sanitizer, and a couple if disposable masks. It was hilarious when it started and someone asked if I had a spare mask and I responded with "sure, you want a plain one or patterned? There's one with cats if you want that one"
Other thing I'm still salty about. I got detention for something i didn't do. And it was more than a one day detention. On a away school trip, we were sharing rooms. There was a curfew. They put tape as a way to know if you left. My room mate wanted something to drink. They literally had all day they could have gone. They went after it was curfew. I told them not to go. I even said I'll buy them whatever they want. tomorrow. Well we all got in trouble. Even my room mate that was sleeping. -_-
If i was transported back to when i was 15, that would only be two years ago. Early June 2020, three months into the pandemic. I would mostly keep a friend i'd made over the pandemic at arm's length, and not jump into a relationship just because another person in my friend group liked me romantically. both of these would save me a lot of trouble and mental health issues, especially with the friend.
Didn’t realize how long this comment would be so read if you want, little story of something that happened to me In 5th grade is the beginning of middle school where I go to. The rule was and still is that if a substitute teacher write down your name you get detention, no questions asked. Was not a problem for me because I’m fairly quiet in school and tend to be a good student in most of not all my classes. One day we have a substitute for history. She was walking down the rows of desks calling out our names and saying hello to us. She got to me, the 3rd person in the second row, and said hello. I said hi back. It was quiet since I had more social anxiety at the time, but I still said it. She then glared at me and basically shouted “I said hello.” in the kind of way where your parents would yell at you to go your room, which scared the crap out of me and everyone else in the room. I said hello back (a little louder that time) and she moved on. Some people after that didn’t say hello at all but she didn’t yell at them so whatever. Next day, a girl walks up to me when we’re getting ready to line up so we could go to lunch (idk why but they made us do that in 5th grade and only 5th grade). She told me that the history teacher needed me. I was suspicious because she had told me this before and the teacher didn’t need anything (basically she lied for absolutely no reason) but I went anyways and turns out she wasn’t lying. Turns out, the substitute wrote my name down for not saying hello, which ended in me getting my first detention. People then talked about the substitute for the next few days on how I’m fair she was because they found out about me getting detention (no idea how they found out now that I think about it) and it was super weird because not only my friends and sister in the class, but even my biggest bullies (also in the class) were talking about how unfair it was and for once half of my grade didn’t seem like a huge group of jerks. I did end up bringing a Rubin cube to detention that Friday though so in reality I cheated the system (in some sense) with no regrets. Edit: yeah this looked a lot shorter when I was writing it and also literally every other time I’ve told the story-
My dad is a plumber, I've worked with him for the last few years, I remember asking what a p-trap did and being absolutely fascinated by it. Now whenever someone asks what the p-trap does, I can pull out my plumber trivia and make myself sound like a genius.
I'm still salty about my teacher not letting me take my final because i was late . Not even a reduced time. I didn't get to take it at all. So i went from a possibly a range or a for sure B to passing by the skin of my teeth. I barely passed. I worked so hard that semester. actual tears from stress. It felt as bad as a gut punch. Maybe worse.
My first car was a beetle, I never really noticed the punching or anything. But I did notice that everyone turned I to a very angry driver when I passed them on the highway. I thought everyone just had road rage, but then I got a different car and realized that people just didn’t like being passed by a bug😂😂
Putting a bit of salt on cantaloupe actually makes it sweeter. I mean, don't DROWN the cantaloupe in salt, but just sprinkle a bit of salty goodness on there and bon appetit.
So- i had this HORRIBLE 5th grade math teacher, had favorites, yelled, really mean. Anyway- i used to sit with my best friend, and at the time, we weren’t talking but because we know each other she yelled at me to stop talking! My mouth wasn’t even moving either. And then i got in line. No noise in the classroom, silent, and she yelled that she would take away from my grade for talking???? Im still salty about it, my parents hate her, i hate her. Im still VERY salty.
Medic here, the UTI thing @24:44 is sooo true, many of my patients that's the first an most ez thing to test for an you can see a huge difference within a day or two once it passes
For the chocolate thing, it's because there's basically no pest control in the chocolate factories, and roaches will get ground up with the beans and cooked into the chocolate
With the car that had the alternator and battery put in, I would've had called a lawyer to sue their asses. So long as you don't touch those tools, they're evidence. As for McDonald's Pizza, you can find a location that still sells it. IIRC, the biggest issue with it and why it was canned was that a pizza isn't "fast" enough for "fast food". (most people start bitching if they have to wait 5-10 minutes, while a McPizza is an average of 15 to 20 minutes per pizza and they often only had enough room for two to four oven slots, so if 15+ people show up each wanting a McPizza....)
there was this girl in 4th grade who pretended like she was smart. she said 9*9 was 10 even tho i knew it was 81, claimed to know the square root of five, etc.
6th grade teacher told us that we were going to learn about flying mammals I said the bat and she replied with no a bat is a bird I will never forget that
I have one. My sister was a really good actor when she was 8. So we had a pretty big house, big enough that there were plenty of hiding spaces, but not so many that you couldn't guess where to look while playing hide'n'seek. So she would hide herself in some area in the house while me and my 2 siblings were all in the same room and start crying. Imagine a 1, 2, and 5 year old. watching spongebob and suddenly all scrambling to the back of the house, expecting to find her bleeding or something. (This was a common thing, getting hurt), only to find that their eldest sister laughing her head off. We fell for it every time.
for the question, just because you can speak every language doesn't mean you can understand them, unlike the instruments, as you do not need to know how to read music to play them, and it is a lot easear to learn how to read music then try to understand every language. however if being able to speak every language, allows you to understand them, then I would go with the language, however if that is not the case, then being able to play any instrument is better.
For the large amount snack: I was on a stream the other day and someone in chat had eaten 15 ENTIRE ORANGES in the span of 2 hours. Not even the small ones, full size ones. Throughout the day, they said that they had eaten a total of 25. I am incredibly concerned for them, and had to share.
My parents let my younger brother have a DS at a younger age than me, let him use my old brick phone and get his first smartphone at younger ages than I'd gotten either. I didn't mind, especially since my mum always asked beforehand if I'd be okay with it. However, Mum was not comfortable with me watching _The Dark Knight_ before and even after I'd turned 12 (its UK rating) because she thought Heath Ledger's Joker was too scary, and that the film should have been rated 15. Every time the matter came up, I felt annoyed and patronised, especially because I had already watched most or all of his scenes out of order/context on UA-cam, and just wanted to see the complete product. But because I couldn't just buy my own DVD, and have a very non-confrontational personality, I had to deal with it for years. It even became a running joke among my friends (one I was okay with, because the focus was Mum being overprotective rather than me being lame). _(I did _*_finally_*_ get to watch it at sixteen or seventeen, when it was on TV during New Year's. I asked Dad if I could _*_finally_*_ watch it, and he agreed. I can't remember if Mum was in the room when I asked, but I'm sure I watched it with her there.)_ Anyway, a few years later, my brother was round at a friend's house and mentioned on a phone call with Mum that they were about to watch _The Dark Knight._ I'd not spoken against, or had an issue with, him getting a DS and a phone and a smart phone at younger ages than me, but it infuriated me that he was going to see this film at a younger age than I finally did. I can't recall if he was fifteen or younger, but it's entirely plausible Mum overlooked her "that film should be a 15" mentality because we both agreed that my brother was less sensitive than me. Mum asked if I was okay with my brother watching it, and I said no, absolutely not, in a tone which implied that that should have been an stance beyond question. But of course, my brother ended up seeing the film. I don't recall if Mum just didn't push the issue because she couldn't do anything to stop him, or if she said he could watch it despite my objection. I understand Mum wanting to go against a film's rating, and wanting to protect a sensitive child from violent scenes. The issue is that I was a teenager, and developing a typical teenage boy thrill from violent media, so this wasn't something that was ever going to upset me. I'd already watched Joker scenes on UA-cam, and would never attribute "scary" with him. Intimidating (to other characters), maybe, but not scary. If Mum had been keeping me from a _Saw_ film, or just told me that I wasn't old enough to take in the complicated plot and thus might not enjoy it as much as I thought I would, I'd understand. But a guy shooting people and threatening them with a knife *was not scary to me.* Having since watched stuff like _Game of Thrones_ and _Deadwood_ as a family, I don't think it was an issue of her projecting her own squeamishness onto me. The only conclusion I can reach is that she thought lesser of me, and I still get annoyed whenever it's brought up. To be clear, I don't hate my mum or my brother. I just think that when I said I was ready, especially if I knew what was coming, she should have trusted my judgement of myself.

1:30 My parents are still salty about the photographer they paid to take pictures during their wedding. The photographer never gave them the photos and never found her after several attempts to contact her. Another instance was how during a trip, we left a camera on a van we had rented the night before. The next morning we called and asked about it but never gave us the camera back. They never answered us again. That camera had all of the pictures from their early years of their relationship as well as most of mine and my sister's baby pictures
My ex boyfriend told me that his cutting off contact with me while we were dating was my fault. He never spoke to me, cheated on me, and acted like I didn’t exist, all while we were dating.

Question @ 32:21 I’ve written 100+ (i lost count of how many there are…) books BY HAND (I used a few pencils depending on how often said pencil was lost, sharpened till it was a nub or cracked (wood or plastic mechanical ones … once I got the metal mechanical pencils I only had to worry about the lead running out… until one of the two jammed permanently after ~ 15 YEARS of DAILY use… the other one from that two pack is STILL going… I’m writing with it now!)

When I was in Elementary School, there was this annoying girl 2 grades ahead of me. I was a Pokemon card collector, but my favorite card was my Mega Blastoise EX I got. I tried to trade with that girl for a Mega Charizard Y EX and never got my Blastoise or the Charizard. I quit talking to her and she still had the guts to say she liked me.
Instrument. Music is a language everyone speaks, it calms the savage beast, and the universe is composed of mathematics that “sings” to each other. Several animals communicate through dance. Body language is also a form of communicating. The ability to play every instrument seems more beneficial to communicating with everyone in the universe than learning every language individually. Things get lost in translation all the time with verbal communication.
Im still salty about the time my mother pretended my tablet was stolen for several months(I was still young and was oblivious) of course my father believed this and gave me a good spankin, I found out because it was hidden in my mom and dad's room under a pile of clothes, and this was her story: "Your tablet was actually stolen, and I found it being sold when I was strollin around the city and bought it back", and of course oblivious me believed that
18:30 Fun fact is that something like this exists in Aviation. When flying a General Aviation plane like a cessna 172, and the seat properly adjusted, you can put your fist on the dash, and the horizon will touch the top of your hand. If this happens, you are probably in cruise flight. Climb is where the horizon touches the dash, and a 500fpm descent is about 2 fists above the dash.
Oh there is something I'm passionately salty about... This needs a major background explaining so pls bear with me... Idk how it is in other countries, but in my country you have final exams for every subject you're studying, and the importance/difficulty of the exam is based on the number of points you choose to study (for example, if you do 5 points math, you'll have more chance of getting in to a good university than if you did 4 or 3) And when you get to the exam, the teacher gives you a submission score that they think represents your abilities, and it has to be somewhat close to the score you'll get in the actual exam, or else you can file an appeal. They usually calculate the submission scores to make it easier on their choosing with your average scores in the exams in the past year, your behavior, homework, etc. The submission score is supposed to protect you, for example, if you get a submission score of 70, and you got 50 in the exam (which fails the exam) your final score will be an average of both scores so you'll get a passing 60 in the exam. So, I'm a competitive swimmer, and I train 10 times a week. I don't have time to do my homework so I don't, and I have a permission from the school to miss classes, not do my homework and to be late for classes. My school let me have this permission because it knows I have great abilities and can still get good grades. Now, throughout the year I get good grades in everything, except in math (in which I'm also at 5 points which is the hardest difficulty), I don't fail a lot but my scores aren't that high. Now, I told my teacher that my final exam will be good because I'll actually be studying for it for once and she submitted me on a score of 80. Which isn't that bad but it doesn't represent my abilities. Also, you can only appeal if you have a difference of 20 points or more between the submission score and the exam score, so I have to get a perfect 100 in order to appeal and even then, it might not be enough. Now, in the actual exam I got 96, which is pretty darn good and because I was submitted on 80, my actual final score is 88 which is kind of ridiculous that the submission score which is supposed to protect me from getting a bad score actually lowers my score by 8 points and possibly preventing me from studying things I'm interested in in uni.
I am a self confessed geek. My mother always told me to dumb myself down or nobody would marry me. ( I have 3 younger sisters who really are dumb - mother used to make me tutor them & do their homework for them.) She told everyone who would listen, that I was stupid. Her Nick name for me was "big & bloody stupid". At the end of grade 5 she tried to pull me out of school because "I was too stupid to learn anything".
When I was six years old my older brother stole my can of sprite that I got at some sports game. Whenever we get into fights now I still bring it up. I don’t know why but it still makes me mad.

For the April fools one: This isn't going to be an April Fool's prank specifically, but I've already gotten the things I need for this. When I move out of my parents' house, which should be before the end of the year, I will be hiding 400 tiny fingernail sized yellow ducks all over my parents' house. Even in places that they won't find for YEARS. And I will never tell them exactly how many there are. They will be finding the ducks. Forever. I will never be forgotten. Every time they open a cabinet or a closet, they will always be wondering how many ducks are hidden in it.

I wanted to answer the first question. When I was in 1st grade we where doing something with markers. I had my marker standing straight up. I was wrighting something with a pincel and my elbow knocked down the marker. I had to pull my card because my teacher thought I was playing with it. I think she got fierd because she stoped working at the school when I was in 5th. I'm starting middle school and I'm glad no one has to put up with her.
Issac Newton was actually kicked out when he was I think 8 when his mom married a preacher, he was the school bully and did not get very good grades, and as such, he was given some love by a Christian teacher there, who discovered that he was quite good at math and such. Ironic that the leader of a church messed up a life, and a Christian man helped him get back on track.
I always worried and overthought about all the ways people can kill you, it was a trauma/PTSD responce from my dad's abuse when I was younger, but, a few years ago, I happened to be looking up at the rooftops of stores we were passing by from the car window, on the way back from dinner with my grandma, and I saw two guys in full black uniform setting up a sniper rifle from one of the buildings we had to stop infront of for a red light... Needless to say, I panicked, HARD. I had started freaking out and yelling at my mom to drive, despite it being a red light, my poor grandma didn't know how to respond to that situation lol... but my grandma ended up calling me a few weeks later to explain what had happened turns out it was the police... someone dangerous was in a building (I believe she said it'd been a hotel?) and the police were readying up to shoot the suspect if necessary, because the guy refused to leave the building or cooperate. I still think back on that time sometimes and have panic attacks though, I never want to get caught in a situation like that again. Like I won't even board a plane without extreme anxiety, I saw a guy counting heads once on a plane flight just four years ago and nearly lost my shit over it because my immediate thought was "Oh god it's a terrorist, we're all going to die"... like jesus it was probably some dude telling his family how large the flight was, or something else completely unthreatening, I hate that my immediate responce to anything is the worst case scenario.
Not a weakness but when I started working at a school my boss asked me what I looked forward to the most and I said I couldn't wait to be entertained by the kids but in away that I think she got the impression I was gonna laugh at them. I mean I do sometimes in private they say the darndest things and I find it fascinating. That was what I meant I wanted to learn more and engage with my students but she defiantly heard it differently. I still have my job tho.
I’m not salty about it, but I might as well share this In second grade we had to draw our dream house on an island or something like that, and me, who has always been a good speller, spelled it island. Everyone else said it was wrong and that it was iland. I still find that funny to this day.
Im still salty about this one kid who would pick on me a lot but it wasnt too much to handle but one day he decided to say something about my mother. Now mind you my mother had als which is a illness that shuts down your muscles one by one. And he decided to say this "i bet your mom sinned a lot to have to deserve that deseise" and when we told someone what he said they just told him it isnt very nice to say that
in 7th grade the teacher came in with the graded tests from the day before and announced that "Heavy was the only on in class that got "giraffe" (in our language) spelled correctly"..... but that was probably done by mistake" Due to memory problems I have 5 memories readily available from my first 9 years in school........ it still hurts 40 years later, when I think about it. Like Bill Bur say, shove it down bundle it up, never let it out...
My greatest weakness working in public (which I have been working most of my adult life) well, I have three & strangely enough, one started right after getting over COVID. 1.) I DON'T like kids. 2.) I DON'T like seeing mothers with $500 shoes or a $2000 purse or $10,000 wedding rings but their kids are in dirty rags & look like they haven't eaten in a week or the kids are running around the store with no supervision (I know, I said I didn't like kids, but I don't like seeing kids mistreated or neglected) & finally (which just started after I had CoVID) the mere sight if poop, pee or vomit will automatically make me gag or worse. It's embarrassing.
Okay, but Captain Picard would be an excellent president. He is tough, intelligent, brave but also self-conscious of his shortcomings. He trusts his fellow officers and makes sure their opinion is heard. Not to mention all the Chateau Picard wine he has back in his vinyard in France.
in like the first grade i had a "best friend" who really liked the things i brought to school. i really liked those Lalaloopsy dolls at the time and my favorite one was Bea (basically a doll with orange hair that loved school) i brought it to school one day and she asked if she could take it home for a day. i was fine with it bc, being the first grader i was, thought there was no evil in the world. i told her i wanted it back the next day bc i loved that doll with my whole heart. i got it back a week or ywo later with smudges all over its face. never let her take another one of my dolls home again.. later that same year with the same friend, i had this really cute calculator that had rainbow buttons. she stole it. straight up hecking stole the thing. never got it back. im honestly shocked i even got my doll back but im still really salty that i never got to see that calculator again :(
31:22 I would go to Undertale, and deploy a 4-step process. STEP 1: exist in UT. this gives me save/load/reset/respawn powers. Can't canonically die in-game. I get to have save points whenever when I go back. STEP 2: meme around in waterfall. find the shrine, deploy dog, get dog residue, sell to temmies, more dog residue, cycle repeats, until I have boatloads of G. (gold.) STEP 3: get a pacifist ending. what I really collected was friendship, and now I'm going to bring the ENTIRE UNDERGROUND TO THE REAL WORLD. STEP 4: melt down the gold I got from step 2, and sell for epic amounts of cash. I become rich, have friends, respawn, and more.
10:46 It isn't just houses. Apartments,condos, if its a building to live in, its built / fixed up cheap ( the proper term escapes me) my family moved out of an Indiana apartment because our bathroom ceiling was basically a waterfall and it flooded our apartment. Owner/ landlord or whatever knew about this growing problem (started as a leak) for months and did nothing. We were in the wrong because Indiana law states a tenant can't skip rent for any reason. Doesn't matter if the building is filled with literal mustard gas. The waterfall situation was why we weren't paying anything. We moved to an apartment in Ohio and while some problems do get solved our kitchen floor is falling apart. Like, I could probably go and pick up a tile right now. Not to mention the floor was already crappily designed in the first place. My feet have gotten use to the pain but lets just say the floor is not flat it has a texture so to say. Imagine a floor like a checkerboard and all the red spaces are at a slightly higher incline than the black spaces. Not to mention our new place has no carpet at all. No soft surface to walk on. I advise wearing shoes in our place.
I remember those shopping buttons I had a couple of them but only used the tide one once. It was fine if they had the particular brand, scent, size you had set up but you still had to go online and change things if they didn't.

Had a math test and the answer came to the amount of apples you'd need to have to bake an apple pie and how many whole apples you'd need to buy for it. The answer was 2.4, so I said you'd need to buy 3 whole apples.
Teacher marked it wrong because ''you have to round down when it's below .5".
I told her you can't get 2.4 apples from only buying 2 apples. She told me my answer was wrong, it was supposed to be 2 and ''we're done discussing this.''
She was a shitty teacher regardless, but this instance nearly made my head explode.
What the teacher is proposing is making an apple out of thin air
If you do application problems, it might be a bad idea to use decimals.

I used to really dislike several of my teachers because they would use bullshit logic to cover up their mistakes, rather than accept it and fix them. Now as an adult I realize that this is just a large portion of the adult world, and teachers can be morons just like other adults.
@@aaronwolk998 my uncle once punched me hard in the mouth because I had the *audacity* to correctly answer a riddle that he read out of a decade old book while we were camping. He directly challenged me with it because I was reading instead of entertaining my jackass cousins, and he threw a goddamn tantrum because he couldn't prove he was better than me. He then claimed that I was wrong, and his side of the family either all accepted it as fact or just outright ignored my distress.
I had to go to the campground's Ranger station to get first aid for my split lip and body nose. All because a 14 year old couldn't *possibly* know how to get a fox, a duck, and some grain across a river. That's like the oldest brain teaser in the freaking book!
13:20 That actually made me mad. I've had doctors do this to me because my pain disorder doesn't have many physical symptoms with the exception of swelling and changes in skin color. Many doctors think I'm lying or exaggerating, and some make me exercise in their presence because they think it'll help me. All it does is leave me in more pain than I was before. This is a pretty universal experience among young people or teenagers with chronic pain disorders. So maybe don't just assume that people are playing up their symptoms?
I know that people with chronic pain have to fight for their diagnosis. I'm sorry you you have to live in a world where you have to go through that
I'm in the same boat - doctors are under significant pressure to verify that their patients are not simply seeking (usually opioid) painkillers, damn junkies ruin it for those that are actually suffering.
A physician that prescribes painkillers liberally opens themselves up to a host of lawsuits and/or loss of medical license.
Out of curiosity, what medical condition/pain disorder do you have? Don't feel obligated to respond; I'm just curious.
Yeah it made me feel upset too and I don't even have a chronic disorder
It sounded disregarding af.
Yeah I’m young and have chronic pain too, but I’ve been fortunate not to have been forced to exercise yet thanks to having a fierce mother with chronic pain who’d tell doctors off if they did something wrong to me. The worst experience I had was a doctor telling me I was essentially having pain because I was too lazy, even though I explained to him that the “laziness” came from exercise causing more pain and later depression from chronic pain and having to drop out of the sports I enjoyed so much. I ended up leaving that appointment in tears.
About half a year ago one of my siblings emptied a while pot of nuln oil into my $50+ Bluetooth speaker, staining my desk and the carpet, not to mention destroying the speaker.
I don’t know when they did it during the day, or why.
All I know is I was painting some models, went up for lunch, came back down and then noticed that my speaker desk and carpet were drenched in the black paint shade.
And it was still wet, that stuff dries fast.
So I know it had to have been done in the past 15-20 minutes at the very most, since it was a lot of liquid.
Went up to confront them, no one confessed, and no one replaced anything.
I had to go out and buy another bottle of nuln oil, and I’ve been down a speaker ever since.
I’m still utterly livid about that.
When my brother was in 4th grade, his class did a little trivia game. For the question, Name a country from the southern hemisphere, he raised his hand and answered Australia. The teacher refused to believe that Australia was a country AND a continent and didn't give him points. I wasn't even there and I'M still salty about it.

The first one reminded me of a day in fourth grade. The teacher told us that the moon didn't rotate. I pointed out that this wasn't correct, because if it didn't rotate then one side of the planet would see the "front" of the moon but the other side of earth would see the "back" of the moon. The moon does rotate, but does so in such a way that one side always faces earth. It's all a matter of your point of reference. From the view of the earth, the moon doesn't rotate, but if viewed from outside the moon's orbit, it absolutely does.
She kept on insisting that she was right. When I was in my late twenties I finally read an astronomy book that outlined my exact argument. Felt a huge sense of validation, but I'm still super salty about it.
When I read about this, years ago, I was blown away by the fact that what is basically a satellite only ever shows one face to earth, AND in its monthly rotations, OVERLOOKS every single part of the earth. And no one seems to find this weird. There is not one segment of earth the moon does not "clock" in its rotations around us.
The Moon is tidally locked to the Earth because of Earth's relatively immense gravity pulling on it. If the Earth were less massive or if the Moon was further away, we would be able to see the other side from Earth as it rotated.
@@CaptainMonkeyFez So, like two ice dancers holding each other's wrists and facing each other as they spin around a common central point, if their arms were longer they'd see the back of each other's heads??? I don't think it works like that.
@@Kayenne54 The Earth and Moon don't spin around a common central point, the Moon revolves around the Earth. And it's more like if the ice skaters were too far apart to touch, their spins would become asynchronous. Point being, if the influence of Earth's gravity was much weaker on the Moon, it wouldn't be tidally locked and wouldn't be forced to rotate in sync with its revolution around the Earth.
@@CaptainMonkeyFez Ahhh okay got it. Thanks.
In eighth grade my English teacher (I was born and raised in a non English speaking country) was tossing random words at the class for the students to translate/explain the meaning of, and use it in a sentence. When it was my turn she asked me to explain what the word vain means and I went with the producing no result/useless definition and "The man fought to save his farm, but in the end it was all in vain".
She immediately told me I was wrong and that "it means being superficial". I told her that word has more than one meaning, but she would not budge and she refused to look up the definition in the dictionary. I am positive she immediately realized her mistake but she was not about to lose face in front of the whole class by admitting it. She was a great teacher in general so it really caught me by surprise. Well over three decades later it still makes me salty every time I think about it.
something i’m still salty over is that a couple years ago someone who used to be my best friend (clearly not anymore) publicly harass me and deadname me over relationship drama he shoved himself in and tried to act like “the hero” in. no, all he did was make me lose over half of my friends and give me major trust issues and unresolved trauma. my ex didn’t even WANT him doing it. he just wanted some insufferable excuse to stroke his already gargantuan ego at the expense of someone else’s trauma. still want a way to get back at him.

My mom had a delusional episode when she had a UTI about 2 years ago. She went through episodes like that in the past when her kidneys started to fail so I knew I needed to get her help but she kept refusing it. Then she started ignoring me and told me I was annoying and I immediately knew something was very wrong. She would never talk to me like that. I look back on it now and laugh but, at the time, I thought she was dying again. I've saved that woman's life at least 5 times, and one of them was when I was 16 (kidney failure time) another when I was 18 (lack of oxygen and other things) and then again when I was 19 or 20 when the UTI happened. Maybe I didn't save her life that time but I like to think I did.

In elementary school we had recess and the lunch but we were only dismissed to lunch one class at a time depending on how well behaved we were.
The staff was supposed to make sure everyone was quiet but would just stand in silence waiting for us to be silent which if you know anything about elementary students you know that won't work. My class was the worst out of all of us sometimes keeping us for half of lunch.
There was one point when the vice principal went to review us, go over the rules again etc. I raised my hand to ask what if the staff doesn't do their job and kept it raised until she walked next to me, looked me dead in the eyes to say.

when i was about 9, i went to horse riding camp in germany, i speak german, but at that time it was not fluent at all. i was paired up with this 13-15 year old, and she was a very good rider and knew the entire stable very well. i told her im not the best at german, but she was always rude, and always asked me to help her get things, it was my first day. i didnt get a tour. there were 4 stables and 3 barns. i didnt know where anything was. i come back empty-handed, she sighs loudly, shoves me aside and says im practically useless. she always kept saying ' why are you even in germany? ', and that hurt. im german, raised in asia, i dont practice german that much. afterwards she complains about me. next, when we went riding, we used a saddle i wasnt familiar with, i use english saddles, they used western once. so i had trouble dismounting, and it was uncomfortable. when i took too long, she yanked me off.

There was a certain video game I was really into as a teenager and there was a couple of characters in it with great chemistry. They were very cute, I shipped them very hard, and the game let me. HOWEVER. In a game with 3 possible routes, the developers neglected to mention until halfway through the DLC route, which was released a whole TWO WEEKS after the other 2 routes, that these 2 characters just so happen to be *cousins.* This is these characters can get *married* in this game. They can have 2 children together. And you neglected to mention that they were cousins for TWO AND A HALF ROUTES?!? I am mad. I am mad now, and I will be mad later, like the back of a baby dolphin, I am *salty.* Just so... much... *salt.*
That's just pure cruelty... and rather weird
Do you remember the game?
@@Orfurgameing I do indeed. It was Fire Emblem: Fates

I went to my grandma's pentecostal church, and someone proceeded to ask me "Did you chose to cut your hair?".
Yes. I did. No my parents did not force me.
I like to imagine them saying that to a cancer patient.
Fish and chips. They just NEED salt.
"You are teleported back to 2001 Terminator style (Butt ass naked), and end up in the middle of Times Square. What do you do or say to convince people you're not a stoned homeless person?"
I'm fairly certain that the randomly appearing space time bubble that precedes my arrival would clue people in on that.
On a side note, considering how packed Times square can get, that randomly appearing bubble is going to take a few people out.
In sixth grade, my uncle was dumb enough to go to jail and had to go to court, causing my grandparents, mom, and aunt to go to his court case on the night of my first concert. My aunt told me to stop holding a grudge cause he felt guilty. Good, not my fault you broke the law and are the golden child of my grandparents
OK I can see why his parents went your aunt I assume was his wife again I can see why she had to be there but why did your mom also have to go
@@MsKaz1000 My aunt was his sister but idk why they went. It was during 6th grade
16:55 Similar to the 80/20 rule. Basically 80% of the result comes from 20% of the cause. It's weird where you can find examples of it. 80% of crashes are caused by 20% of the bugs, 80% of complaints come from 20% of the customers, etc.
I had actually HAD a pair of soap shoes lol. But being poor I had gotten them from a Goodwill long after the Sonic Adventure craze was over. Eventually I also managed to get a Dreamcast and Sonic adventure, and by then I had long since used up the tread on the shoes and threw them out not knowing what I'd had.
I always thought that plastic plate on the sides of the soles was just an added arch support, and infact those shoes WERE the only pair I'd been able to wear without my orthodics from a scooter accident. Had never tried to grind once.
Reese's Cups ... legit my mom got me some just a few weeks ago while I was on my period as a kind gesture. I ate one cup and gave the other to my mom because it tasted WAY different. Like, CLEARLY different. Kind of reminded me of the chocolate knock-off brands use, or like really cheap European chocolate.
That's legit my favorite chocolate and it just tasted bleh. I had a friend say she's pretty sure chocolate is ruined because of a surgery she had [she noticed a taste change after] but I legitimately think that it is because chocolate is just ruined.
I had heard in a video a few years ago that a lot of them are cutting Cacao completely out as best they can and making chocolate with vegetable oil and stuff to save money. And that the companies have been slowly transitioning. I even saw a survey that was talking about making the change and asking "So long as the taste doesn't change, would you care?" and I was like "Yes." because that could change other things, but it seems it's changing a lot. Like when people say "Coke Zero and Coke taste EXACTLY the same" they do not. They taste noticeably different. I imagine this "As long as the taste doesn't change" is the "So long as we TELL YOU it tastes the same" type ploy. -- Adding: I think that same thing or something else talked about how major companies like Mars Chocolates actually had a falling out with Cacao Farmers especially since a lot of consumers found out the majority of it is from abusive slave labor kind of like that of the diamond industry so they were trying to switch away from using any chocolate at all to A. punish the cacao industry for price changes and B. to appear to consumers like they were equally horrified and trying to move away from that. But ... this could be a totally different thing/a speculation I read so I'm adding it to the end.
For me Coke and Coke Zero DID taste the same for years. I've been almost exclusively drinking Coke Zero for 5 years now, and regular Coke is definitely sweeter, like now it tastes like a mouthful of sugar to me😅
As for the Reese's Cups, its entirely possible that the change in bean could be the cause - If they've gone with fair trade beans now then they will taste different due to slightly different growing conditions (much like how the location and growth of coffee beans has subtle effects on the flavour). Aside from this, anything from methods to the type of sweetener or fat included (whether its milk or a milk alternative) can change the flavour enough for it to be noticeable.
Coke and coke zero have always tastes the same to me. The only time coke tastes different is when it's an actual different flavor, like cherry coke or something.
I’m an over thinker. I was on a student trip up into the mountains of Greece with a bunch of students. We were all dressed nicely for a dinner with the local Greeks. In these mountain towns, most stores close by 4 pm, so we had only a cafe and a small jewelry shop open. Girl rips her dress in the back, and she runs over with my sister, who had told everyone that I had something for everything. I had a sewing kit and we pinned the dress shut in the meantime.
My friends told me that nobody likes me. They're better friends to me now and they have genuinely built up my self esteem with compliments but damn, there was no need for them to say that
Were you guys playing video games? Whatever is said during video games unless a compliment is never true.
20:23 P-trap. Shaped like a letter P on it's side. Used on sinks, floor drains and urinals. S-trap looks like the letter S. Siphons water away when water is rapidly added. Siphon is broken by air (which is why toilets cough at the end of the flush) also not supposed to be used by sinks as it lets gas through. This is why the toilet bowl is supposed to fill up as the tank fills up.
What am I still salty about? Three things from school, one from a carnival.
Grade 6 music class, we had to write down words with different syllables. Everybody else was getting loads of praise from the teacher for 2, 3, or 4 syllable words, then I proudly told them I found a 5 syllable word, Macadamia. Zero fucks given from anybody, including the teacher. I barely even got acknowledged for my 5 syllable word. I was absolutely crushed.
That same teacher was also the one who held everyone back during recess and lunch for a few people talking, which was supposed to make the rest of us peer pressure the talkers into behaving because their behaviour was getting everyone's lunchtime taken away. I was the unpopular, then-undiagnosed Autistic kid; the chatty clique weren't gonna give a crap that they were taking away MY lunchtime! All that did was make me hate that teacher and turn me off of music class for several years, which was extremely detrimental when at that time, I wanted to be a famous singer.
Year 11 and 12 English teacher's favourite type of assignment was analysing newspaper articles and then writing an essay about them. To this day I could not tell you what I was doing wrong, but every single essay I produced came back labelled as summarising, not analysing. I even got one back at one point with a single paragraph circled with red pen, with red capital letters beside it saying "THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO BE DOING"; I couldn't see any difference between that paragraph and the rest of the damn essay. And this woman had the audacity to say to my parents' faces "Oh, I know she knows what she's doing". THE D'S ON MY SATS WOULD DISAGREE WITH YOU, LADY! I clearly hadn't the slightest CLUE! (unless she meant I knew what I was doing by deliberately misbehaving, which wasn't the case at all; I may have been a poor student who rarely turned in homework, but that was because I struggle with Executive Function and getting things done on time; nothing at all to do with misbehaving.) And any time I tried to ask her for help, she was nowhere to be found or too busy to help.
Teddy Bear Picnic carnival, where they had a bunch of different contests during the day, culminating in a contest judging your teddy bears for various categories, including smallest bear. I brought along a teeny tiny teddy not much larger than my thumbnail specifically for that contest, and I entered using $2 of my allowance to enter(entry was a gold coin donation, and I think my allowance at that time was about $2 a week). About halfway through the day, a girl a few years younger than me won a small teddy the size of a fist. She proceeded to enter that brand new fist-sized bear into the contest for the title of smallest bear. The fist sized bear won, and I was physically restrained from going up there to protest because "you'll just be stealing her prize". B****, that was MY prize. That was stolen from ME. Not to mention, I WASTED my tiny allowance for the privilege of having that prize stolen from me! I know it's not a big thing, and everybody else involved has probably already forgotten about it, but that tiny grain of injustice still itches at the back of my mind sometimes.
As someone who has had melanoma, that lady trying to fake it makes me SO mad

For an April Fools joke, I so badly wanted to do a long con prank to my Trekkie roomie involving Tribbles, but alas those things were a little too expensive
I remember once my brother in law said something about a 40kg sword, and I was like “ I don’t know how much a sword is, but that is WAAAY off” my entire family then proceeded to all start howling with laughter at me for saying that a sword could weigh anything less than 20kg.
That was like 15 years ago and I’m still mad at them about it.
Now that I’m a history buff and know exactly how much real swords weigh, I’m even more mad about it.
How much does a sword weight?
A one handed sword can weigh anywhere between 0.5-1.5 kg or 1-3 lbs.
Two handed sword are 1-3kg or 2-6 lbs.
So there’s a huge range of how much they can weigh, but my family was still way off.
for the " whats your biggest weakness" dont say random crap, be honest. this question is mostly to see if you have some self reflecrion and insight. most of the time they dont even care what your weakness is, or even they will try and see if its something you are working on improving.

0:00 In 5th grade, me and some of my friends went to a local museum for a Science Bowl. Our team was exactly 1 point away from tying for 3rd place. There were no prizes for runner-ups, and if we had gotten that extra point, it would have been the first time in years that our district won
I got a salt story of my own. There was this retro gaming shop I used to frequent when I was younger. One day I asked if they had any copies of Mega Man X3 for the PS1. The guy there said there was no version of X3 for the PS1 and that it was only a SNES game. Years later I get the X collection from that same store. Guess which version of X3 it had?

My teacher made my class tape our notebooks together in 7th grade. He also didn’t let us use pens or markers for our notes. That was so annoying and it was never worth it. Ruined taking notes for me for awhile. I’m still salty about it today and I’ll be salty about it for the rest of my life.
If I'm ever in the market for a new house, I'm going to buy a lot and hire my own contractors. That way I know I'm getting quality work. If I decided to go into one of those pre-built housing communities, I''ll want to look at what contractor they used to see if it was a case of 'low bidder wins' or 'we paid a little extra to get decent work.'. You can look online and see what other people have to say about the quality of the homes they build. Not worth the lower sale price, if you spend most of the first few years having to get someone to come out to fix shoddy work that never should have happened in the first place.

So this one's gonna sound weird as hell, but a few months before the big C started spreading, I started stocking up on antibacterial soap, hand sanitizer, and a couple if disposable masks. It was hilarious when it started and someone asked if I had a spare mask and I responded with "sure, you want a plain one or patterned? There's one with cats if you want that one"
Other thing I'm still salty about.
I got detention for something i didn't do. And it was more than a one day detention. On a away school trip, we were sharing rooms. There was a curfew. They put tape as a way to know if you left. My room mate wanted something to drink. They literally had all day they could have gone. They went after it was curfew. I told them not to go. I even said I'll buy them whatever they want. tomorrow. Well we all got in trouble. Even my room mate that was sleeping. -_-
I wasn't allowed to go trick or treating or participate in anything Halloween related and I'm still salty about it
If i was transported back to when i was 15, that would only be two years ago. Early June 2020, three months into the pandemic. I would mostly keep a friend i'd made over the pandemic at arm's length, and not jump into a relationship just because another person in my friend group liked me romantically. both of these would save me a lot of trouble and mental health issues, especially with the friend.
Didn’t realize how long this comment would be so read if you want, little story of something that happened to me
In 5th grade is the beginning of middle school where I go to. The rule was and still is that if a substitute teacher write down your name you get detention, no questions asked. Was not a problem for me because I’m fairly quiet in school and tend to be a good student in most of not all my classes. One day we have a substitute for history. She was walking down the rows of desks calling out our names and saying hello to us. She got to me, the 3rd person in the second row, and said hello. I said hi back. It was quiet since I had more social anxiety at the time, but I still said it. She then glared at me and basically shouted “I said hello.” in the kind of way where your parents would yell at you to go your room, which scared the crap out of me and everyone else in the room. I said hello back (a little louder that time) and she moved on. Some people after that didn’t say hello at all but she didn’t yell at them so whatever. Next day, a girl walks up to me when we’re getting ready to line up so we could go to lunch (idk why but they made us do that in 5th grade and only 5th grade). She told me that the history teacher needed me. I was suspicious because she had told me this before and the teacher didn’t need anything (basically she lied for absolutely no reason) but I went anyways and turns out she wasn’t lying. Turns out, the substitute wrote my name down for not saying hello, which ended in me getting my first detention. People then talked about the substitute for the next few days on how I’m fair she was because they found out about me getting detention (no idea how they found out now that I think about it) and it was super weird because not only my friends and sister in the class, but even my biggest bullies (also in the class) were talking about how unfair it was and for once half of my grade didn’t seem like a huge group of jerks. I did end up bringing a Rubin cube to detention that Friday though so in reality I cheated the system (in some sense) with no regrets.
Edit: yeah this looked a lot shorter when I was writing it and also literally every other time I’ve told the story-
My dad is a plumber, I've worked with him for the last few years, I remember asking what a p-trap did and being absolutely fascinated by it. Now whenever someone asks what the p-trap does, I can pull out my plumber trivia and make myself sound like a genius.
I'm still salty about my teacher not letting me take my final because i was late . Not even a reduced time. I didn't get to take it at all. So i went from a possibly a range or a for sure B to passing by the skin of my teeth. I barely passed. I worked so hard that semester. actual tears from stress. It felt as bad as a gut punch. Maybe worse.
They sound aweful
My first car was a beetle, I never really noticed the punching or anything. But I did notice that everyone turned I to a very angry driver when I passed them on the highway. I thought everyone just had road rage, but then I got a different car and realized that people just didn’t like being passed by a bug😂😂
I love Beetles and I'm not even a car person
Putting a bit of salt on cantaloupe actually makes it sweeter. I mean, don't DROWN the cantaloupe in salt, but just sprinkle a bit of salty goodness on there and bon appetit.
So- i had this HORRIBLE 5th grade math teacher, had favorites, yelled, really mean. Anyway- i used to sit with my best friend, and at the time, we weren’t talking but because we know each other she yelled at me to stop talking! My mouth wasn’t even moving either. And then i got in line. No noise in the classroom, silent, and she yelled that she would take away from my grade for talking???? Im still salty about it, my parents hate her, i hate her. Im still VERY salty.

As for McDonald's Pizza, you can find a location that still sells it. IIRC, the biggest issue with it and why it was canned was that a pizza isn't "fast" enough for "fast food". (most people start bitching if they have to wait 5-10 minutes, while a McPizza is an average of 15 to 20 minutes per pizza and they often only had enough room for two to four oven slots, so if 15+ people show up each wanting a McPizza....)
there was this girl in 4th grade who pretended like she was smart. she said 9*9 was 10 even tho i knew it was 81, claimed to know the square root of five, etc.

As a middle school science teacher, this makes me sad.
Nnnnnnnhg
I have one.
My sister was a really good actor when she was 8. So we had a pretty big house, big enough that there were plenty of hiding spaces, but not so many that you couldn't guess where to look while playing hide'n'seek. So she would hide herself in some area in the house while me and my 2 siblings were all in the same room and start crying.
Imagine a 1, 2, and 5 year old. watching spongebob and suddenly all scrambling to the back of the house, expecting to find her bleeding or something. (This was a common thing, getting hurt), only to find that their eldest sister laughing her head off. We fell for it every time.
Did you forget a sentence or 2?
for the question, just because you can speak every language doesn't mean you can understand them, unlike the instruments, as you do not need to know how to read music to play them, and it is a lot easear to learn how to read music then try to understand every language. however if being able to speak every language, allows you to understand them, then I would go with the language, however if that is not the case, then being able to play any instrument is better.
For the large amount snack: I was on a stream the other day and someone in chat had eaten 15 ENTIRE ORANGES in the span of 2 hours. Not even the small ones, full size ones. Throughout the day, they said that they had eaten a total of 25. I am incredibly concerned for them, and had to share.

My parents let my younger brother have a DS at a younger age than me, let him use my old brick phone and get his first smartphone at younger ages than I'd gotten either. I didn't mind, especially since my mum always asked beforehand if I'd be okay with it.
However, Mum was not comfortable with me watching _The Dark Knight_ before and even after I'd turned 12 (its UK rating) because she thought Heath Ledger's Joker was too scary, and that the film should have been rated 15.
Every time the matter came up, I felt annoyed and patronised, especially because I had already watched most or all of his scenes out of order/context on UA-cam, and just wanted to see the complete product. But because I couldn't just buy my own DVD, and have a very non-confrontational personality, I had to deal with it for years. It even became a running joke among my friends (one I was okay with, because the focus was Mum being overprotective rather than me being lame).
_(I did _*_finally_*_ get to watch it at sixteen or seventeen, when it was on TV during New Year's. I asked Dad if I could _*_finally_*_ watch it, and he agreed. I can't remember if Mum was in the room when I asked, but I'm sure I watched it with her there.)_
Anyway, a few years later, my brother was round at a friend's house and mentioned on a phone call with Mum that they were about to watch _The Dark Knight._
I'd not spoken against, or had an issue with, him getting a DS and a phone and a smart phone at younger ages than me, but it infuriated me that he was going to see this film at a younger age than I finally did. I can't recall if he was fifteen or younger, but it's entirely plausible Mum overlooked her "that film should be a 15" mentality because we both agreed that my brother was less sensitive than me.
Mum asked if I was okay with my brother watching it, and I said no, absolutely not, in a tone which implied that that should have been an stance beyond question. But of course, my brother ended up seeing the film. I don't recall if Mum just didn't push the issue because she couldn't do anything to stop him, or if she said he could watch it despite my objection.
I understand Mum wanting to go against a film's rating, and wanting to protect a sensitive child from violent scenes. The issue is that I was a teenager, and developing a typical teenage boy thrill from violent media, so this wasn't something that was ever going to upset me. I'd already watched Joker scenes on UA-cam, and would never attribute "scary" with him. Intimidating (to other characters), maybe, but not scary.
If Mum had been keeping me from a _Saw_ film, or just told me that I wasn't old enough to take in the complicated plot and thus might not enjoy it as much as I thought I would, I'd understand. But a guy shooting people and threatening them with a knife *was not scary to me.*
Having since watched stuff like _Game of Thrones_ and _Deadwood_ as a family, I don't think it was an issue of her projecting her own squeamishness onto me. The only conclusion I can reach is that she thought lesser of me, and I still get annoyed whenever it's brought up.
To be clear, I don't hate my mum or my brother. I just think that when I said I was ready, especially if I knew what was coming, she should have trusted my judgement of myself.
Cordyceps will not hurt you, as a human. They're used as medicine and can be very expensive. Most common one is cordyceps militaris, which uses a certain kind of beetle as substrate.
1:30 My parents are still salty about the photographer they paid to take pictures during their wedding. The photographer never gave them the photos and never found her after several attempts to contact her.
Another instance was how during a trip, we left a camera on a van we had rented the night before. The next morning we called and asked about it but never gave us the camera back. They never answered us again. That camera had all of the pictures from their early years of their relationship as well as most of mine and my sister's baby pictures
My ex boyfriend told me that his cutting off contact with me while we were dating was my fault. He never spoke to me, cheated on me, and acted like I didn’t exist, all while we were dating. Everyone says I’m ‘dumb’ for being salty about it to this day, but I don’t care. My self-esteem went to shit because of him.

When I was in Elementary School, there was this annoying girl 2 grades ahead of me. I was a Pokemon card collector, but my favorite card was my Mega Blastoise EX I got. I tried to trade with that girl for a Mega Charizard Y EX and never got my Blastoise or the Charizard. I quit talking to her and she still had the guts to say she liked me.
Instrument. Music is a language everyone speaks, it calms the savage beast, and the universe is composed of mathematics that “sings” to each other. Several animals communicate through dance. Body language is also a form of communicating. The ability to play every instrument seems more beneficial to communicating with everyone in the universe than learning every language individually. Things get lost in translation all the time with verbal communication.
Im still salty about the time my mother pretended my tablet was stolen for several months(I was still young and was oblivious) of course my father believed this and gave me a good spankin, I found out because it was hidden in my mom and dad's room under a pile of clothes, and this was her story: "Your tablet was actually stolen, and I found it being sold when I was strollin around the city and bought it back", and of course oblivious me believed that
Two of my trucks were stolen seven years ago. I watched them drive away with the second one. To this day I’m still mad like it happened yesterday.
18:30 Fun fact is that something like this exists in Aviation. When flying a General Aviation plane like a cessna 172, and the seat properly adjusted, you can put your fist on the dash, and the horizon will touch the top of your hand. If this happens, you are probably in cruise flight.
Climb is where the horizon touches the dash, and a 500fpm descent is about 2 fists above the dash.
Oh there is something I'm passionately salty about...
This needs a major background explaining so pls bear with me...
Idk how it is in other countries, but in my country you have final exams for every subject you're studying, and the importance/difficulty of the exam is based on the number of points you choose to study (for example, if you do 5 points math, you'll have more chance of getting in to a good university than if you did 4 or 3)
And when you get to the exam, the teacher gives you a submission score that they think represents your abilities, and it has to be somewhat close to the score you'll get in the actual exam, or else you can file an appeal. They usually calculate the submission scores to make it easier on their choosing with your average scores in the exams in the past year, your behavior, homework, etc.
The submission score is supposed to protect you, for example, if you get a submission score of 70, and you got 50 in the exam (which fails the exam) your final score will be an average of both scores so you'll get a passing 60 in the exam.
So, I'm a competitive swimmer, and I train 10 times a week. I don't have time to do my homework so I don't, and I have a permission from the school to miss classes, not do my homework and to be late for classes. My school let me have this permission because it knows I have great abilities and can still get good grades.
Now, throughout the year I get good grades in everything, except in math (in which I'm also at 5 points which is the hardest difficulty), I don't fail a lot but my scores aren't that high. Now, I told my teacher that my final exam will be good because I'll actually be studying for it for once and she submitted me on a score of 80. Which isn't that bad but it doesn't represent my abilities. Also, you can only appeal if you have a difference of 20 points or more between the submission score and the exam score, so I have to get a perfect 100 in order to appeal and even then, it might not be enough.
Now, in the actual exam I got 96, which is pretty darn good and because I was submitted on 80, my actual final score is 88 which is kind of ridiculous that the submission score which is supposed to protect me from getting a bad score actually lowers my score by 8 points and possibly preventing me from studying things I'm interested in in uni.
I am a self confessed geek.
My mother always told me to dumb myself down or nobody would marry me. ( I have 3 younger sisters who really are dumb - mother used to make me tutor them & do their homework for them.)
She told everyone who would listen, that I was stupid. Her Nick name for me was "big & bloody stupid".
At the end of grade 5 she tried to pull me out of school because "I was too stupid to learn anything".
When I was six years old my older brother stole my can of sprite that I got at some sports game. Whenever we get into fights now I still bring it up. I don’t know why but it still makes me mad.
I tend to hold grudges a lot, but the biggest one is when my friend (who i should mention was my friend since 1st grade) didn't invite me for her birthday party but even invited MY OTHER FRIEND (which she met in 3rd grade in another school)

The wheel has been used since the dawn of man, and never once did anyone thought to change its shape without realizing it's a bad idea 5 minutes later.
For the April fools one:
This isn't going to be an April Fool's prank specifically, but I've already gotten the things I need for this. When I move out of my parents' house, which should be before the end of the year, I will be hiding 400 tiny fingernail sized yellow ducks all over my parents' house. Even in places that they won't find for YEARS. And I will never tell them exactly how many there are. They will be finding the ducks. Forever. I will never be forgotten. Every time they open a cabinet or a closet, they will always be wondering how many ducks are hidden in it.
One of the 'Couldn't be better ones' is Sharks themselves! They've not evolved AT ALL for over 400 years because they're just that perfectly adapted to where they live!
Keep cast iron clean, slightly greased to prevent rust and don't use metal to cook in it. Or TRY not to use metal utensils in it if you can
For the guy who chose to live in cookie clicker for a month, then keep everything: Returning with 25 quintillion cookies, a bunch of psychotic lovecraftian grandmas, and everything else that gives you is a surefire way to end the world.
I wanted to answer the first question.
When I was in 1st grade we where doing something with markers. I had my marker standing straight up. I was wrighting something with a pincel and my elbow knocked down the marker. I had to pull my card because my teacher thought I was playing with it. I think she got fierd because she stoped working at the school when I was in 5th. I'm starting middle school and I'm glad no one has to put up with her.
I was gonna correct your spelling mistakes, but then i remembered i dont care enough.
Issac Newton was actually kicked out when he was I think 8 when his mom married a preacher, he was the school bully and did not get very good grades, and as such, he was given some love by a Christian teacher there, who discovered that he was quite good at math and such. Ironic that the leader of a church messed up a life, and a Christian man helped him get back on track.
I always worried and overthought about all the ways people can kill you, it was a trauma/PTSD responce from my dad's abuse when I was younger, but, a few years ago, I happened to be looking up at the rooftops of stores we were passing by from the car window, on the way back from dinner with my grandma, and I saw two guys in full black uniform setting up a sniper rifle from one of the buildings we had to stop infront of for a red light...
Needless to say, I panicked, HARD. I had started freaking out and yelling at my mom to drive, despite it being a red light, my poor grandma didn't know how to respond to that situation lol... but my grandma ended up calling me a few weeks later to explain what had happened turns out it was the police... someone dangerous was in a building (I believe she said it'd been a hotel?) and the police were readying up to shoot the suspect if necessary, because the guy refused to leave the building or cooperate.
I still think back on that time sometimes and have panic attacks though, I never want to get caught in a situation like that again. Like I won't even board a plane without extreme anxiety, I saw a guy counting heads once on a plane flight just four years ago and nearly lost my shit over it because my immediate thought was "Oh god it's a terrorist, we're all going to die"... like jesus it was probably some dude telling his family how large the flight was, or something else completely unthreatening, I hate that my immediate responce to anything is the worst case scenario.
Tbh seeing someone visibly counting heads on a plane would freak me out to.
Not a weakness but when I started working at a school my boss asked me what I looked forward to the most and I said I couldn't wait to be entertained by the kids but in away that I think she got the impression I was gonna laugh at them. I mean I do sometimes in private they say the darndest things and I find it fascinating. That was what I meant I wanted to learn more and engage with my students but she defiantly heard it differently. I still have my job tho.
Go back 15 years? Get my blood pressure tested. Most of my failers in life have been a result of this directly or indirectly.
I’m not salty about it, but I might as well share this
In second grade we had to draw our dream house on an island or something like that, and me, who has always been a good speller, spelled it island. Everyone else said it was wrong and that it was iland. I still find that funny to this day.
Im still salty about this one kid who would pick on me a lot but it wasnt too much to handle but one day he decided to say something about my mother. Now mind you my mother had als which is a illness that shuts down your muscles one by one. And he decided to say this "i bet your mom sinned a lot to have to deserve that deseise" and when we told someone what he said they just told him it isnt very nice to say that
The dislike counter on UA-cam. I don't think I'll ever forgive them for that
Good, less T series type bullying
When I realized the saying was not “sho*t yourself,” but “suit yourself.”
in 7th grade the teacher came in with the graded tests from the day before and announced that "Heavy was the only on in class that got "giraffe" (in our language) spelled correctly"..... but that was probably done by mistake" Due to memory problems I have 5 memories readily available from my first 9 years in school........ it still hurts 40 years later, when I think about it.
Like Bill Bur say, shove it down bundle it up, never let it out...
My greatest weakness working in public (which I have been working most of my adult life) well, I have three & strangely enough, one started right after getting over COVID. 1.) I DON'T like kids. 2.) I DON'T like seeing mothers with $500 shoes or a $2000 purse or $10,000 wedding rings but their kids are in dirty rags & look like they haven't eaten in a week or the kids are running around the store with no supervision (I know, I said I didn't like kids, but I don't like seeing kids mistreated or neglected) & finally (which just started after I had CoVID) the mere sight if poop, pee or vomit will automatically make me gag or worse. It's embarrassing.
Okay, but Captain Picard would be an excellent president. He is tough, intelligent, brave but also self-conscious of his shortcomings. He trusts his fellow officers and makes sure their opinion is heard. Not to mention all the Chateau Picard wine he has back in his vinyard in France.
in like the first grade i had a "best friend" who really liked the things i brought to school. i really liked those Lalaloopsy dolls at the time and my favorite one was Bea (basically a doll with orange hair that loved school) i brought it to school one day and she asked if she could take it home for a day. i was fine with it bc, being the first grader i was, thought there was no evil in the world. i told her i wanted it back the next day bc i loved that doll with my whole heart. i got it back a week or ywo later with smudges all over its face. never let her take another one of my dolls home again.. later that same year with the same friend, i had this really cute calculator that had rainbow buttons. she stole it. straight up hecking stole the thing. never got it back. im honestly shocked i even got my doll back but im still really salty that i never got to see that calculator again :(
For the VR one: "I demand a character customization screen I can call up at any time, that can change my body however I want to change it."
Being sprayed in the face with a fire hose on the 4th of July when I was 8.
-So I *was* trying to start a fire but STILL

I would go to Undertale, and deploy a 4-step process.
STEP 1: exist in UT. this gives me save/load/reset/respawn powers. Can't canonically die in-game. I get to have save points whenever when I go back.
STEP 2: meme around in waterfall. find the shrine, deploy dog, get dog residue, sell to temmies, more dog residue, cycle repeats, until I have boatloads of G. (gold.)
STEP 3: get a pacifist ending. what I really collected was friendship, and now I'm going to bring the ENTIRE UNDERGROUND TO THE REAL WORLD.
STEP 4: melt down the gold I got from step 2, and sell for epic amounts of cash. I become rich, have friends, respawn, and more.
10:46 It isn't just houses. Apartments,condos, if its a building to live in, its built / fixed up cheap ( the proper term escapes me) my family moved out of an Indiana apartment because our bathroom ceiling was basically a waterfall and it flooded our apartment. Owner/ landlord or whatever knew about this growing problem (started as a leak) for months and did nothing. We were in the wrong because Indiana law states a tenant can't skip rent for any reason. Doesn't matter if the building is filled with literal mustard gas. The waterfall situation was why we weren't paying anything.
We moved to an apartment in Ohio and while some problems do get solved our kitchen floor is falling apart. Like, I could probably go and pick up a tile right now. Not to mention the floor was already crappily designed in the first place. My feet have gotten use to the pain but lets just say the floor is not flat it has a texture so to say. Imagine a floor like a checkerboard and all the red spaces are at a slightly higher incline than the black spaces. Not to mention our new place has no carpet at all. No soft surface to walk on. I advise wearing shoes in our place.
I remember those shopping buttons I had a couple of them but only used the tide one once. It was fine if they had the particular brand, scent, size you had set up but you still had to go online and change things if they didn't.
