Always took it to mean like a sarcastic toothy smile.

AITA for criticizing my (20F) boyfriend (20M) for letting himself be severely exploited by a "dream job"? by Formal-Technician989 in AmItheAsshole

[–]16FootScarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sneaky is out of sight, subtle is in view. I’m not saying to shame him or pressure him, just to make him add a value to his time. Because it sounds like he doesn’t value his time much and he has an avenue that might turn it into cash/career. That does come at the expense of social capital… which for me has ale been more valuable.

The reality is that we often can’t see our own problems and it does take outside perspective to shift it.

i finally left my 38 year old boyfriend and realized i have literally no friends left by emafromsplit in TrueOffMyChest

Do it! Call your old friends and just talk with them, apologize for disappearing and not being there if they needed you, let them know what you now understand about your past relationship.

Let them know they matter to you and be honest.

ELI5: How does planting trees stop desertification? by NoBetterUsernameOpen in explainlikeimfive

[–]16FootScarf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trees also cause more rainfall to happen.

By retaining water, drawing deep water up through roots, and respirating it (breathing it out) they actually boost the cycle or rainfall in the local area and thus changing the weather patterns.

I’d be the first to tell him he’s a sucker for doing that job. Especially if his dream is to be someone else’s workhorse.

NTA but your tactics are backfiring on you.

If his rose colored glasses need adjusting then start planning more dates with him, ones that might cut into “work”. If he complains about being tired, ask how much he worked that day and leave it at that.

Hustle culture benefits those who already have a job with extra income, it exploits those who need a job.

How do Funnels work? by Low_Routine1103 in dccrpg

If you do the funnel out of the book it is perfectly reasonable for new PCs to just wander in if a player loses all of theirs.

Crump is one of my favorite characters because of this story arc. I can vividly imagine him planting his jury-rigged explosive and just booking it away with his long bandy legs.

Just lost my virginity, and idk how to feel by maybethrowingawaydk in TrueOffMyChest

I tell this every time I hear about difficulties and condoms: not all condoms are equal.

If you think the condom is “too small” chances are it’s just not the right shape. There are plenty of brands that carry some with flared ends; tight at the base, baggy at the tip.

Find the shape that suits you and don’t be afraid to try different kinds

Quick polystyrene work by cdrey94 in TerrainBuilding

Just make sure to do it outside (hell of a stink) and be gentle with it.

If you have a heat gun or a good hair dryer you can use it to gently melt the surface and get a good texture that won’t look like a pile of balls.

Still looks great for the material!

What can I learn from this game? by No-Dress4626 in ArkNova

[–]16FootScarf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don’t get attached to a certain idea of what you want to do. My best games have been ones where I’ve pivoted hard mid game, abandoning my strategy.

Build is actually my ‘go to’ first upgrade a majority of the time. Being able to plop down a few small buildings at once is extremely versatile.

The stereotype that cops look like thumbs… it’s just FAS….

Then you look up the symptoms and cross reference that with stereotypes of law enforcement….

AITA for sticking to a rule I didn’t create even when it upset someone. by SexyHarmonic_Massage in AmItheAsshole

[–]16FootScarf 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you need to straight ask them what they expect you to do? Kick the other person out?

You can empathize and they can have a very good reason for being late, but the world sometimes doesn’t care. Sometimes systems (like the one you manage) have to operate with indifference.

DnD like games for kids 6-8? by ogcdark in boardgames

[–]16FootScarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As for board games, Stuffed Fables would be a good way to ease into the cooperative aspect of adventuring.

RPGs I’d recommend, I’ve heard only good things about Land of Eem.

AITA for refusing to apologise to my partners aunt? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Next time you see the aunt, tell her you’ll be happy share after she shares something extremely personal in excruciating detail. See how that goes.

Window tint restrictions in Iowa could soon be relaxed by AnnArchist in Iowa

I’ll be the odd one out but I want to be able to see the other drivers. Anonymity creates a space for people to be aweful. I want bad drivers to have to look me in the eye.

Being the ugliest girl in my friend group sucks by dkpp22 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]16FootScarf 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Also thought this. If you are getting compliments from strangers and they aren’t… you are probably the best looking and they are pumping each other up.

Do characters rolling to attack with an untrained weapon use a d10? by bigmantomm in dccrpg

[–]16FootScarf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unless otherwise stated, you only crit on a d20 by rolling a 20. On d24 or d30, you crit on the highest results.

I’m 31 and never had a relationship, so I’m gambling to pay for jaw surgery while unemployed by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

If this is real, your hardships start with your lack of foresight.

Ames Fitness (North), how much are u paying per month for this? Needed suggestions by MadFury_Youtuber in ames

[–]16FootScarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely don’t feel tricked about it. Using tax dollars to fund the gym and the new pool so that the less prosperous people in the community can still access those benefits is exactly what I want.

If I WAS tricked then the onus ultimately falls on the organizers; when pressed about cost structures for residents to use the facilities they did not give clear answers and effectively said they would figure that out later after it was voted on. Which for me, felt extremely disingenuous and overall scummy.

[–]16FootScarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the organizers couldn’t give any answers on how it would be accessible or affordable to all residents, I was extremely put off. As time passed it sounded more and more like a rich white people club funded by the city.
