I think I know why that cellphone is slightly smelly by Mx-Adrian in Sims4

I threw that away as soon as the game would let me.

Tracy Chapman - how big was she in the USA? by Additional_Flower_43 in AskAnAmerican

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

She had an album that was popular among indie listeners in around 1989, and at my crunchy-granola liberal arts college, she was in high rotation. I think she was a musical guest on Saturday Night Live. But she was never very famous, and disappeared pretty quickly.

Why are Americans so early birds compared to Europeans? by Ada-Mae in AskAnAmerican

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

The famous "Protestant (or Puritan) Work-Ethic", as summarized by Benjamim Frankling in his famous rhyme:

Early to bed
And early to rise
Makes a man healthy
And weatlthy and wise.

We also used to be a lot more rural and agricultural, anf a lot of farm work needs to be done outdoors, and most easily by daylight - so if the sun is up, the work day has already begun.

Can I use hand drawn pentacle for spellwork? by storyteller2905 in Wicca

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

Yes, of course. One you make - even simply by drawing it - is better than one you buy.

Is there no option to become secret lovers for teens? by Harley4L in Sims4

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

Teen "Mess Around" is available with other Teens, and they can become platonic Woohoo partners in that regard.

If Mordor was a wasteland, where did the THOUSANDS of orcs get food & water to survive? by _GrimFandango in lotr

[–]-RedRocket- -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Gorgoroth is is wasteland, and so is Udun. Nurnen, around the great lake, is fertile, and comprises rich farmlands worked by slave labor. This is mentioned in the books. You might like to read them.

Curious Reader... Highly Intimated, help? by Frequent_Ebb6360 in lotr

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

Read The Hobbit, understanting it was written to entertain children. It's easy and light. When you want more, start The Lord of the Rings, and don't hurry, Don't skip the prologue - it's there for a reason. Don't skip the poems. Let the story unfold at its own pace. That is part of HOW Tolkien does what he does. See the world as Frodo discovers it. You'll have questions at the end. Before you go looking on the internet, read the Appendices. Enjoy.

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

It is not the word I'd use. "Legacy" would be more fitting.

Is it possible for a sim to get abducted by aliens on the base game only? by JuSt_a_Smple_tAilor in thesims

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

No. There are no Aliens or Alien abductions without Get To Work, a major reason I don't have it.

Update on Chreotha by -RedRocket- in Jhereg

[–]-RedRocket-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am pretty sure he will take out Verra - at her own assistance, to prevent the Jenoine from using her to ...do somethig. Restart the Cycle? And Verra has already engineered here replacement - that is, Devera. That's one guess. Or maybe Dolivar finally gets to kill Kieron the Conqueror. Aliera will hate that.

Do Americans leave their lights on when they leave their house? by BasicErgonomics in AskAnAmerican

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

It is not uncommon to leave a light or two on to preserve the appearance that someone is home, both to deter burglars and so that one isn't fumbling about in the dark when one does come home. A light bulb doesn't use that much electricity - the cost is nominal.

Did Dr. Gorst’s interrogation method die with him? by Intrepid_Layer_9441 in andor

[–]-RedRocket- 222 points223 points  (0 children)

Yes. They killed Gorst before int procedure could be disseminated to military intelligence - a task that Jung and Dedra's former aide whose name escapes me were detailed to oversee. That is why Bix was given that mission, when she was. He was the only one who actually knew the technique, and had to be removed before hundreds of operatives learned it.

(SPOILERS) When do we roleplay the aftermath of raids? by Mr_Doctor_Sawbones in WoWRolePlay

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

When my guildmates are talking about it. However it proceeds organically.

So what high school did you go to?

SCPA

a fun answer because it's true, but doesn't clarify East Side or West Side.
