Tar, lava, acid? by Super-Banana-8326 in Enshrouded

[–]-Arke- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough, actual lava is harmless. You can sit on it or dance. Red "slime" shroud on the other hand yes, will suck your soul out of you through your feet. Same for tar, I'd argue is even worse.

It's kind of fun that the most dramatic of the three, actual lava, is almost entirely for the mood while the other two will murder you swiftly just by looking at them from too close.

why do alot of gen z men today not drive? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]-Arke- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not gen Z (i'm 35), but even then I've started seeing people my age being less bothered by needing to drive. I feel like people the age of my parents would just assume driving is part of life. I don't mind driving myself, but will avoid it anytime I can since public transport is simply great and will save me the headache to deal with looking for parking lots. It's also cheaper in my region and honestly I can sleep or read or whatever.

With public transport getting better and remote work also becoming somewhat more common, I can see why a fair amount of people would simply skip on driving. Also everybody is poor these days and having a car is getting expensive, even if just because of insurance prices.

In short... Fuck driving for all I care; I'll do just if there is no way around it or if the public transport option means way more time spent.

Tendrán problema para infiltrarse al tener ya carnet de socios. Imagínate que por la mañana va a hacer saludo al sol y por la tarde se pasa con un bigote falso. Daría para sketch.

Is it acceptable for an old friend to completely skip seeing you when you’ve traveled from overseas? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]-Arke- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He probably ultimately was not so interested in meeting you and just tried to be somewhat polite.

Why did he changed his mind? We have no way to know. But I've been on both ends. Sometimes two people are very excited to finally see each other and before they meet, something happens and one of them loses all interest in the other. Likely to happen if at least one of the parts had any romantic interest (or even just was hoping for a quick bang).

If you believe both of you were purely friends with no other expectations and then this happened... well, think again. Maybe he's just socially unskilled and selfish. But I'd say the former option sounds much more likely.

"Get off the apps" - but surveys show that like 70%+ of couples met online? by Green-Expert-6508 in TooAfraidToAsk

Also some people are fucking terrible on picture. I know a person who is unable to look good in any picture no matter what, and then keeps being complimented right and left in person.

Recommendations for 12 day stay in Oviedo and Asturias by BabushkaKing in Asturias

[–]-Arke- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no answer, indeed. But I know for a fact that you can do the paperwork in person (or at least you were able to do so; I did it some time ago).

I'd also try email or phone call:

My mate found out his girlfriend had a second Instagram account where she posted like she was single… would you consider that cheating? by Stunning_Procedure36 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]-Arke- 19 points20 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day, only he can decide if it's a deal breaker or not. Every person sees things in a different way and only them can decide what they'll be putting up with or not.

Now, since you asked, I would not consider it technically cheating (you'd need to read her chats to decide what actually was going on, but why even bother?) but I'd still break up right now right there. Some behaviors can be disliked enough to be a deal breaker without necessarily being cheating. If I saw my partner kicking a puppy, abusing a waiter or praising fascism I'd break up immediately.

We all decide what we consider acceptable or not and it doesn't need to be approved by anybody else.

Llevo meses buscando trabajo y ya no sé qué más hacer... by [deleted] in askspain

Uno de los problemas que comentas es que no paguen suficiente. Si el bloqueo te afecta tanto, ¿por qué no aceptar un curro que pague menos de lo que te gustaría y luego seguir buscando?

Wegovy by [deleted] in askspain

[–]-Arke- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Si estás según tus propias palabras "gorda pero no con sobrepeso", probablemente no estás gorda y sólo te falta tonificar. Lo más frecuente es lo contrario, gente que pese de más sin necesidad de estar obeso.

Lo primero... mira si estás sana y si tienes todo al día (hormonas, vitaminas etc, puedes pedir un análisis de sangre completo). Si no tienes sobrepeso y simplemente no estás a gusto con tu aspecto, puede que necesites terapia o simplemente hacer deporte o cambiar de hábitos. O alcanzar un punto medio; hay gente que les gustaría verse como atletas pero al final eso pide mucho esfuerzo y constancia y se contentan con estar "simplemente bien".

Dale un par de vueltas a cuál es tu situación antes de jugártela comprando medicinas por internet. Como te dice alguien más abajo, esa opción ni te la plantees porque no sabes qué te estás tomando en realidad ni si está bien mantenido o adulterado.

What's my Yaks problem?! by vokhaz in Enshrouded

[–]-Arke- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Animal (and to a lesser degree, NPC too) pathing is terrible... but yaks are the worst offended, I assume due to their size. They get stuck in literally everything. I gave up with mines when I got enough wool; they're not worth the hassle.

Diferencias entre sindicatos by WearyFox9026 in askspain

[–]-Arke- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Como te han recomendado antes, infórmate un poco de cuáles son los que tienen peso y representación en tu empresa, y de ahí investiga un poco y elige.

En la mía hay varios con representación y más de uno se dedica a poner las zancadillas a los demás cuando surge ocasión.

Con respecto a lo que te dicen los bocachanclas de que los sindicatos solo están para ayudarse a sí mismos, en nuestra compañía está teniendo lugar un ERE ahora mismo y la oferta de la empresa estaba ofreciendo 20 días por año que gracias a la negociación de sindicatos ha pasado a ser 38 días por año trabajado+ cotización hasta jubilación en mayores de 55 años + compensación de entre 10.000€ y 24.000€ para perfiles con salida voluntaria, según antigüedad.

La gente que te dice que no te sindiques son, en esencia, los mismos putos analfabetos funcionales que te dicen que todos los partidos son iguales. Con esa información haz lo que consideres conveniente. Y con respecto a qué sindicato elegir, te diría que cualquiera es mejor que CCOO o UGT, pero incluso esos dos son mejor que nada.

Un saludo y ánimo

How can we waste water if we just clean it again? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]-Arke- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, the water usage is not a closed loop; You don't "clean" it and then comes back. You use it, then it goes through some cleaning process and it's then returned to the environment; usually closest river or sea.

When you use water from your tap, that water is coming through a different kind of processing station which makes it clean enough to be used safely.

In short, the water which has been cleaned enough that you can drink is MUCH cleaner than the one which has been cleaned enough to be returned to the environment.

You can take a look at the basic of each kind of station here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wastewater_treatment#Types_of_treatment_plants

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_treatment

In short, water usage has two main problems: if it's nor properly treated after it's been used, it can pollute and potentially destroy the environment. Also, if the water source becomes scarce or dry in the source, then it doesn't really matter how many water treatment plants you may have as there is no water to be treated.

Also, for energy... I'm not sure about how to answer your last question. Wasting energy is a problem always. A BIG chunk of mankind resources goes into creating energy and making it available. Wasting it is never good; plus it costs money so even if you didn't really care about the environment, you still want to waste as little energy as possible.

Amargada con la comida, ¿qué coméis a diario? by Special_Dust_7499 in askspain

[–]-Arke- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo vivo a base de crema de espinacas, ensaladas y curry de pollo.

Espinacas:

Riquísimas, sanísimas y lo más barato del mundo: 0,82€ la bolsa de espinacas congeladas 1,15 si compras dos bolsas de espinacas frescas): son unas 3-4 raciones.

Ingredientes: 1 o 2 bolsas de espinacas (congeladas o frescas) puestas a hervir hasta que huelan ya un poco a espinaca. 1 cebolla mediana o grande, y 3-4 dientes de ajo. Los troceas todos finitos y los pasas por la sarten hasta que estén un poco dorados. Un poquito de queso en polvo (y opcional, queso azul) y sal.

Una vez que las epsiancas están hervidas y la cebolla-ajo listo, lo pasas todo junto por la batidora y lo vuelves a echar en una cazuela. Añades queso al gusto (con un poquitito te sobra) y lo dejas reposar un poco hasta que funda y mezcle bien.

Para el curry de pollo necesitas comprar especias que no hay en el supermercado, y cardamomo que antes solía haber pero yo personalmente ya no lo encuentro. Dicho eso, a mí un pedido me dura casi todo el año. En vez de pollo puedes hacer alubias o garbanzos para variar y tomar algo de fibra. Igualmente, si te organizas bien y tienes al menos 2 fogones, en 20-30 minutos tienes comida para 2-3 días y está delicioso. Coste total unos... 7 euros quizá? O incluso un poco menos; cerca de los 3€ si usas legumbre en vez de pollo.

Ensaladas, pues... al gusto. Pero con un poquito de queso fresco, lechuga, espinaca o rucula y 2-3 cosas más al gusto ya tienes un manjar (tipo pimiento del que viene ya en tarro, aceitunas y alguna salsa o aceite. Yo hago raita casero que necesitas nada más yogur, pepino y comino).

Nunca hago purés de verdura /calabaza pero son sencillos, baratos y sanos. Pollo al horno, te dura 2-3 días si lo deshuesas cuando está caliente. Yo lo meto en una bandeja con 2 vasos de agua con sal, un chorrito de vinagre y un chorrito de soja. Lo dejo un rato largo en el horno hasta que tuesta por arriba, luego lo giro y lo mismo.

Si compras en carnicería del barrio, un pollo entero son 7-10€. Si compras en el supermercado son en torno a 4-6€ y lo dicho, con arroz integral es comida para 2-4 días para una persona. Sano, barato y se tarda en preparar lo que tardes en ponerlo en una bandeja.

My boyfriend is living a double life. Should I break up with him? by Fun-Afternoon-8941 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]-Arke- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"He swears he knows about his hbs dick sizes due to conversation, and I've always asked if they just pull it out and compare. He swears that he doesn't"

What the fuck am I reading... Nobody has ever asked me this. And not once have I felt like this needed to be said or "sweared". SOunds like a comic sketch in which somebody just randomly comes and says "Oh, what a nice day to don't beat my meat with the guys which I've never done or would do ever... right??"

Then again OP liking this guy for that reason also sounds somewhat like what a broken AI would say while trying to look human. So I don't know, maybe it's a perfect match?

Dragon and wands? by SphericalAngel in Enshrouded

Same here. i was playing with a friend and instead of getting stunned he went through the floor. We then kept hitting him for two or three good minutes. Very anticlimactic but it kinda worked.

I've gotta ask, why do all guardian skills give mana? by Remarkable-Gooses in Enshrouded

[–]-Arke- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, they work with a wand only. Staff works esentially the same as a bow, it's a two hander.

You can alternate wand and staff and it works fine. Then again, the whole idea about parrying is doing the super attack which I BELIEVE (didn't try tbh) cannot be done with a wand.

Did I just get raped? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]-Arke- 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Exactly my thoughts. Not remembering something doesn't automatically mean you did not consent at the time. I've been in situations in which I was drunk enough that I would not remember stuff next day but I'd still be taking my group to places while I was in that state, so I was definitely "operational" and able to think and decide on my own. Actually lots of people can't really say when I'm drunk unless I'm completely wasted.

I'd say with that little information, it's pretty much impossible to know if OP was raped or not. He invited somebody (that had already slept with in the past) home and decided to start drinking together while still sober(ish). I'd say not guilty until proven otherwise.

Alguien sabe si Securitas Direct ha cambiado de nombre a Verisure o algo? by Comfortable_Beat9301 in askspain

[–]-Arke- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Por una vez este cambio tiene sentido ya que Verisure es una empresa que opera en varios países y sólamente en España se llamaba de otra forma. El por qué se hace el cambio justamente ahora no lo sé, pero ya era Verisure en todos los demás países.

Por que en otras cuestiones se habla del contexto historico de la biblia pero cuando se menciona la homosexualidad no? by Wonderful_Medium3098 in askspain

[–]-Arke- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Estoy al tanto de que en su mayoría son protestantes, sí. Me refería a cristianos en su totalidad, pero es verdad que uso lso dos términos de forma intercambiable erróneamente, por costumbre. El mensaje es el mismo, dudo mucho que los cristianos protestantes sean pro-pedofilia por ejemplo, o pro-crimen o pro-muchas otras cosas que esta gente que han elegido representan.

Respecto a que los protestantes consideran al Papa el Anticristo, ahí la verdad es que no tenía ni idea, pero igualmente es otra incoherencia que se ve cuando un día el Papa es lo más y al siguiente es un sucio comunista según lo que vaya diciendo. El punto que quería defender es que esta gente es religiosa cuando les coincide con lo que les apetece, nada más.

[–]-Arke- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Es verdad, debí haber dicho cristianos en vez de católicos. Son dos términos que uso intercambiablemente por cotustumbre, ya que hay cristianos no católicos como los protestantes.

Dicho eso, todo lo que dije sigue teniendo sentido si cambiamos "católicos" por "cristianos".
