The mom of my best friend ( whom I consider a very close one also and a very good role for all the nearly 20 years I’ve known her ) once told me I have an “adorable wrinkle in my nose when I laugh”. It took me so off guard so much because I have a very hard time finding anything to like myself about. It really made me happy to hear someone tell me a nice feature about myself as I can’t find any myself. I’ve often seen her being a very big advocate for making others feel good about themselves and she’s always looking for features in people. Christy, thank you so much and I love you my friend. I hope to have as beautiful of a heart for others as you someday.
What may be the worst part of Starbucks coffee is that it's over roasted, giving it a burnt taste. I'd rather just get my own and use a coffee maker, but I sometimes treat myself to the local coffee shop.
The worst part is honestly how there is a complete lack of maintenance on any of their Machines - at least if it's a licensed store (kroger or target locations) IDK how the corporate (stand alone / not in a grocery store) stores go about getting their machines service done, but we would constantly have our machines breaking down at my two different locations... In different towns... Years apart in my employment and they both had the same issues with the machines: - Constantly breaking down - Steam wand always breaking (so no hot drinks for the most part) - Grounds drawers flooding I also continuously had an issue of my managers over ordering beans, leaving them to EXPIRE, and then using them. Like??? disgusting lol Also the cleaning was subpar unless it was inspection day - and trust me I tried. I was constantly sweeping / mopping, but because no one else would do it and I couldn't stay over super late (first round because I was a minor and had a cap on my hours, second round because well... I hated the place lol) I struggled with the upkeep.
10:45 I developed a phobia about banks, debt, and spending money. I couldn't get therapy because the thought of spending money on therapy caused panic attacks. It took three years before I got enough money in the bank to soothe my fears and get therapy (which was all paid for by insurance)
The best umbrellas are the newer kind that are inside out when not in use. Push up to open, they invert to look like a normal umbrella. Thus, if they get blown inside out by the wind, they don't break -- they just close.
16:38 John was a shy kid, but the school dance was coming up, so he decided to open up and ask someone to go. He decided to call his friend Mary. So, he waits, and waits, and waits. Finally, she answers, and she agrees to go. John and Mary decide to get a dress and tuxedo, and there is a long line at the clothing store. So they wait, and wait, and wait. Finally, they get their tuxedo and dress. Then they decide to get a corsage. So John calls a company that sells them. He waits, and waits, and waits, and finally he is able to order a corsage. To be fancy, they decide to call a limo. So John calls a limo company. He waits, and waits, and waits, and finally he is able to get a limo. The night of the dance comes, so John and Mary wait for the limo. So they wait, and wait, and wait, and finally the limo comes and picks them up. They arrive at school, and there is a long line to get inside. So they wait, and wait, and wait, and finally they get inside the school. Once they are inside, John and Mary have to use the bathroom. There is a line at the bathrooms. So they wait, and wait, and wait. Finally, they are able to use the bathroom. After she uses the bathroom, Mary gets thirsty and goes to get some punch. She goes to the punch table, and she’s relieved to find out… There is no punch line! :)
Movies I never get tired of: Blazing Saddles, Cabin in the Woods, Hook, Akira if we're counting anime movies. My dad's favorite dad joke is whenever we pass a cemetery, he says "people are just dying to get in there"
8:00 Pizza pie definitely doesn't imply Chicago style. I lived in NY until I was around 5 and it was called a pie there. When I moved out to California my mom called a pizza place and ordered a large cheese pie and they asked her if she knew she was calling a pizza place.
The single trope that will turn me off of any story, be it in movie form, tv show form, books, etc., is blackmail. I'm not talking about digging up old misdeeds; I'm talking about threatening to display a situation out of context to the world (with no wrongdoings having actually occurred) that would ruin someone in the eyes of their social circle or more. I hate blackmail as a whole but that specific flavor has made me drop many things
Not recieved, but the wierdest compliment I heard was "you know that feelimg when ypu really really need to pee, and you finally do, and it feels great? That's what you feel like to me."
20:48 The optimum hand drying method is paper towel after air blow dryer. Air blower can get large bits of water, but not small bits. And paper towel can get small bits of water, but not large bits.
The problem with trying to get off of Starbucks for me, is not that there isn’t other places with coffee that’s just as good if not better. The problem is when I go to one of those other places, the menu is so goddamn, confusing and vague that I don’t really know what I’m ordering until I ask questions. Starbucks has it all in groups. Everyone else just seems to be like, “here’s our specials, I hope you like one of them.” I’ve been doing a lot less since I can make my own frappes at home.
I would not go back in time to change anything. I went through some rough patches, but life is ok(ish) right now and a lot of things (and people) wouldn't be with me right now if things hadn't been like that. I appreciate them too much to change time.
The weirdest, but best compliment I’ve ever been given came from a close friend of mine. The friend group was just all sitting in a kind of lopsided circle. I had my hair, which is very long and dark, down over my shoulders and was wearing a sleeveless black dress and I think leather boots. We were all just talking, and then she pauses just to tell me, “You look like a depressed deep water nymph.” She genuinely meant it as a compliment and that’s how I took it. Like, I wasn’t originally going for that, but you can bet your ass I walked a little taller after she said that. My friends tend to say that kind of stuff in regards to my clothing. Though, it was kind of bothering me one day because it felt more like I was being made fun of. I was trying to explain that, but couldn’t find the right words to. So then another friend, who I didn’t even realize was listening, paused in playing her bass and said, “Maybe if you guys actually told them that they look nice instead of only making jokes about it, they wouldn’t feel insecure about it.” I friggin love my friend group-
Most poorly designed stuff that we put up with stay that way, because implementing a better design would be more expensive to do. Companies don’t wanna make things more expensive for themselves, they just want to make it more expensive for you without you noticing.
5:22 I think every Amnesia's storyline boils down to You're the BBEG, You regret being the BBEG, Take something that makes you forget you're the BBEG, Undo your actions from when you were the BBEG.
The person adjacent to me in art class told me that I had very feminine lips, I was questioning my identity at the time and now I'm pretty sure I'm trans so that comment has really stuck with me
Video game insurance and CD/DVD insurance is strange. However, it's probably in response to scammers buying up games, copying the software, then damage the original so they can return it. It's in the same category of people buying a new microwave, then trying to return the old broken one in the 'new' packaging claiming "it came out of the box damaged.". Just about anything you buy nowadays that has electrical/electronic components will pop up the product insurance screen. I've seen it come up on everything from electric toothbrushes to a cheap curling iron.
The weirdest compliment I think I got was from my elementary school music teacher. I get dimples when I smile, and she seemed to kinda just go overboard? She would always tell me how much she loved them, I think she said she wished she had them, and made a joke about plucking off mine... which I got but didn't get? I don't think she was ever inappropriate, never touched me, but I was a really shy kid and generally didn't like a lot of attention because I was also often a target for bullies, so I tended to be careful about smiling around her until I graduated.
1:33 So there was this test of Brain Skills I took in highschool; as of age 18, I was in the _Top 1% NATIONWIDE_ for Spatial Reasoning skills. I could kinda tell in the test too; Most questions were tough, some were near impossible, but some I was like "Oh the answer is just that. That's easy." I get ot from my dad.
28:56 my couch doesn’t. Cause there’s an air vent right there and if the couch touched the wall, 1 leg would be right on the grate and that’s dangerous.
0:06 Wearing my Lagerstein hat to Alestorm (Captain Obvious, yarr!), Younger than me kid said i was a pirate, and got a hi pirate from his class on the train 13:12 Don Mateo, hands down.

If there's a trope that makes me loose interest than its the "uncomfortable" atmosphere I saw it on sone movies and TV shows and I immediately lost interest. A tiny bit is ok but too much makes it boring to me because it feels like they are trying to make me feel uncomfortable.
Man people compliment voice somewhat frequently, but back in the day the go to question was if i was a phone sex line operator. Now that that is pretty much dead it's voice acting.
If I could time travel, I'd go back to 1492 and sink the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria before they could "discover" the Americas. Yes, it would drastically change history, and that's the point.
Trainspotting is the movie I watched over and over again. I ruined 2 vhs tapes watching that movie. I finally bought the dvd (back then dvds cost more)
I'd go back to one specific date. April 18, 1998. I'd stop my male genetic donor from marrying my gold digging stepmother. My dad is a real pos, but no one deserves my stepmother!
Apple don't provide any better value then any similarly priced option. Most people who buy apple products however, by the cheapest apple product in comparison to the cheapest windows laptop ignoring the several hundred pound price discrepancy. Of course the thing that costs a 1000 quid is better then the thing that costs 200.
I am from a colder climate. the people saying that there are no bugs here are stupid and wrong. I absolutely love the weird bugs I find here. than again, my country pretty much is just a really cold swamp that we dried up a lot

"You are extremely easy to lean against" as a compliment.

Cheesecake.
Idk why its called a cake, even though it's actually a pie.

8:20 so many traumatic memories from that one.....
Favorite joke:
"How are you?"
"Alright, you?"
"All-left."
19:40 the visors in my Mercedes are even worse They don't swing to the side, so they only work if the sun is directly in front of me.
5:55 - Would be nice, but I don't have a local coffee shop. Starbucks, dunkin, Mcdonalds... fast food, really.

I'm pretty sure video game insurance is meant to be what Gamestop tries to sell you every time you buy a game there.
11:15 - When I was younger I thought sharp canines were cool because I wanted to be a wolf. So that would have been a compliment.
mine was ''you're so good at being single, you make it look easy (in a good way)'' bro..? WHAT GOOD WAY?
The weirdest compliment I think I got was from my elementary school music teacher. I get dimples when I smile, and she seemed to kinda just go overboard?

Weird movie: The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds.
Saw it a bazillion years ago & the "huh?" has stuck with me.

Sadly, physically
Hobo with a Shotgun is a trip. Not a great one, but a trip
It's good for the kind of movie it's trying to be.
6:55 - I subscribed to Harry Potter Loot crate. It took 4 months to get 1 box.
24:20 blasphemy. It's not unusual is a banger.
15:42 An animated movie like The Prince of Egypt or Toy Story.
Prince of Egypt is so underrated.
10:25 "Ah, they go to therapy."

23:44 Blashyrkh (Mighty Ravendark)- Immortal except its about Pandas.
26:44 Definitely Autopsy. WHO ON GODS GREEN LAND GAVE THE T-1000 A SCALPEL AND JOHN CONNORS FOSTER MOTHER A NURSE UNIFORM?
I hate that I only get compliments on my attire.
That just means you have great taste.
21:41 I'd go back to 1980 and buy a 20 year old classic muscle car for $500.
The songs chosen for the Hell question… ppl just hate joy apparently.

Weirdest movie... "Salo." No, I will not explain. I can't. I won't. You must experience it for yourself.
Trainspotting is the movie I watched over and over again. I ruined 2 vhs tapes watching that movie. I finally bought the dvd (back then dvds cost more)

I was told I look like Anne frank… I don’t I’m just Italian
I am from a colder climate. the people saying that there are no bugs here are stupid and wrong. I absolutely love the weird bugs I find here. than again, my country pretty much is just a really cold swamp that we dried up a lot
