I tell people that I've never owned a single Sega console because I preferred Nintendo.

The real reason: As an extremely sensitive child who was severely bullied by other kids (including cousins!), I hated how vicious and bullying Sega was toward Nintendo in their ads in the 80s and 90s.

[(Anonymous)]

I understand this. I never really vibed with bullying or mean ads.

[(Anonymous)]

As a SEGA kid, I have to say I put up with a lot of bullying from the Nintendo kids too. It was fair play.

Our game system was a gift from Santa (aka my parents, who could probably afford a SEGA and not a Nintendo and I now own a Switch 2 as an adult so I can see the price difference), but the fact that they cared to give us one at all is something that I treasure more than the system itself.

[(Anonymous)]

...Nintendo doesn't have feelings though. The console wars were brutal, but it was just two companies competing for consumer's attention. That's capitalism for ya.

(I thought some of the ads were fun, though. Some aged really badly.)

[nocowardsoul]

I always hated ads like that or "choosy moms choose Jif."

[(Anonymous)]

I’m glad for you that you truly have no clue what vicious bullying is. Even jokingly calling this bullying undermines real bullying, a reprehensible behavior that kills. A 35 year old marketing campaign showing that one console has more games than another isn’t bullying and never was.

[(Anonymous)]

... what's "vicious" about that ad? It's just pointing out that the Genesis has more games available for it than the SNES, which I assume was the truth at the time.

[(Anonymous)]

I can't say I remember these ads, but I do remember a SEGA baby doll ad that freaked me the fuck out. You can watch it if you want (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-r9SPKiv2o), but I do not recommend.

I do remember there were some political mudslinging ads of around that era that I thought were bad enough that they should have gotten someone sued.

[(Anonymous)]

I never saw those ads because in my country, ads that intentionally badmouth a specific rival company are prohibited.

If you're a food/cooking content creator, I expect you to do your homework about seed oils and not just listen to fearmongering TikToks and spread misinformation. I also expect you to come out and say there's no scientific evidence that they're inherently harmful, and not get all wishy-washy like ohhhh maybe they're not that bad but then who knows amirite you do you, viewers, etc. etc.

Grow a pair.

[(Anonymous)]

The issue is that a lot of cooking/food influencers really don’t know much about food and are busy getting sponsors to care about misinformation.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm happy if they just never mention any of that shit positive or negative and get on with the recipe. If they start doing nutrition misinformation or calling foods "naughty" or any of that bullshit, I never watch them again.

[(Anonymous)]

What even *is* the deal with seed oils? I fell down a rabbit hole years ago and I would always see these tradwife/right-leaning influencers constantly push that they're why young adults are so unhealthy and depressed. I don't have an opinion either way, but it seems simplistic to blame it on that when processed food in general is the real trash.

I think A Man on the Inside season 2 is far stronger than Season One.

I know that is not the conventional fandom wisdom. Sorry, guys, I love the college environment more than the old folks home.

Personally, I loved how Young Sheldon recontextualised the relationship between Sheldon, Mary, and their memory of the then unseen Cooper Senior, in The Big Bang Theory. It has added a real layer to both shows.

I wish Fandom Secrets commenters would spend as much time making constructive replies to the fun secrets as they do trying to think up pissy and demeaning comments to the ones they disagree with. You guys can be so unpleasant at times.

I can no longer read or hear the word "organic" without automatically thinking of Druski's skit about Erika Kirk-- oops, I mean conservative women in America.

Recovered people-pleasers, how did you work on establishing boundaries with people you love?

[(Anonymous)]

I have reached an embarrassingly-old age to have not learned this basic life skill, but alas, here we are. I have a major tendency to be a doormat/people pleaser. My general thing with people who push my boundaries is to just lie on the floor like a rug and let them walk all over me, and slowly build up resentment, until I cross the threshold to being fucking DONE, at which point I permanently ghost them.

This is obviously not ideal for myself or for the people I am spending time with, because I am unhappy and silently fuming for sometimes years without saying anything, and they have no idea that anything is wrong until I cut them off, at which point they are hurt and confused.

The thing is that my family and best friends aren't the type of people who annoy me, so I've gotten along ok, but now I have a boyfriend who I love but who is starting to really get under my skin, to the point that I honestly want to end this relationship, but I don't think this is worth ending it over.

But, like, how do I explain to him that I do not need or want him to police what I eat? He's not usually telling me not to eat something, it's more the opposite direction, where he's like OK IT'S TWELVE NOON WHAT'S FOR LUNCH? or YOU SHOULD HAVE SOME JUICE WITH BREAKFAST THIS MORNING or YOU CAN HAVE A NON-CAFFIENATED SODA THIS AFTERNOON.

And this is just so aggravating to me. I am obese. Trust me, I don't need someone to monitor and make sure I'm eating my meals. I'm eating plenty.

He also texts me stupid stuff at night, which sometimes wakes me up. I have my phone set so calls/texts from important people will come through while I'm asleep. Everyone else on my allowed list has the sense to not text me stupid shit at night, but he will send me links to YouTube shorts or articles he thinks I'm interested in. I put my phone so it just vibrates, but even the vibration wakes me up sometimes. I don't want to completely silence it or turn it off, because then I might miss something important from someone who actually needs something.

I don't want to hurt his feelings or make him mad, but damn. STOP SENDING ME DUMB SHIT WHEN I'M TRYING TO SLEEP. He also sends me texts throughout the day that are just like... random bullshit. Wow, that sounds so mean. But it's really irritating to get a text about something I don't care about every 30 to 45 minutes. It's hard for me to concentrate and focus on things, when I keep getting these texts. It's often more texts about food, not necessarily that I should eat, but "Oh look at this new food item that's coming out" or "I'm hungry and _____ sounds really good right now." Or more articles about video games or movies or something. And if I don't answer quickly enough, I get kind of guilt-trippy texts about me ignoring him.

I am just really getting fed up with it. Maybe this relationship just ain't it for me, but I have this same problem with people who are just friends. I still have a lot of guilt for cutting off a longterm friend because of this. So I've got to learn how to deal with this. How do I get past the crushing guilt and pain from hurting his feelings by saying, "Please chill out with the breakfast/lunch/dinner monitoring" or "Can you maybe consolidate texts into one instead of sending them all day and expecting an answer right away."
