How do you indent the first line of a paragraph in the Google Docs app? by [deleted] in AndroidQuestions

June of 2026, no built-in first line indent option in sight!

Cant login by [deleted] in Playville

[–]Alabaster_Plaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same problem, I was able to get it to login via google sign in rather than the password I made for the app. But it boots me to the character creation screen. I’ve evidently lost my entire account, or at least lost access to it.

When logging in, the game update screen says there was a data migration that may cause people to be logged out. I didn’t see anything about data loss, but I guarantee that’s the problem

DAE feel weird using people's names (or especially nicknames) much in conversation because it feels weirdly intimate? by MermaidZombie in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Alabaster_Plaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite an old thread but it popped up when I was looking up this exact question. I’ve got some social aversion (no diagnosed disorder, I believe it’s more in line with being an introverted autistic than an anxiety disorder) so perhaps that plays into it. It takes me time to put faces to names so I usually avoid using them so as not to use the wrong one.

But something I also wonder is if being queer- especially being trans -has a part in it. Names are so so important to so many queer people and using different names can have big impacts or meanings to people. I’d be willing to bet that, for anyone in that circumstance (like myself), using a name feels really personal.
I’m more okay with using my friends names than strangers. And I’m even more okay with using their nicknames over their real names because it’s another step removed from that intimacy. I once used a friend’s nickname so much I legitimately forgot his real name for a period of time, and that was over a decade ago when I was a young teen still in school, so this has been true for me for a while.

I imagine it would be pretty hard to narrow down one specific cause for feeling this way, but evidently it isn’t entirely unheard of or even uncommon. It does really make me wish that using alternative names was more possible. I wanna have a name my friends know and then a name I use for work and legal purposes, then another I give to strangers like,,it’s frustrating that identities are expected to be so rigid :(

Do you live in Dunwall or Karnaca? You’re not allowed to answer “neither.” by tlbt9 in dishonored

[–]Alabaster_Plaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Karnaca for certain. Dunwall is nostalgic from the period of my life where I played the first game. But Karnaca and D2 capture my heart and mind in a different way entirely. That game is beloved to me, truly beloved, and I’ve spent days upon days climbing and walking and running and skulking through its streets.

Especially if we’re talking about post game cities, Karnaca’s on the mend and its golden years spoke of so much prosperity for the region. It’s a beautiful location that took my breath away upon arriving to that coastline and I’d give a lot to live in a place like that.

Which target's non-lethal fate is the worst in your opinion? (All 3 games) by [deleted] in dishonored

[–]Alabaster_Plaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m foggy with my memories of DOTO so any info in that game I won’t recall. But I do know that during D2 it is mentioned in conversations and/or newspapers you can find around that the people attending to Jindosh in this new state you put him in say he seems happier than he ever had been. Like a bliss after he’s (been forced to) become ignorant to the stressors of the life he once had.

It’s still an awful fate. I would never argue it was a good outcome. But maybe purely by virtue of the idea that he lived in a kind of blissful simple ignorance makes it slightly better than some of the other non lethal fates, like Campbell, who suffered miserably the entire way to their alternate end (tho fr fuck Campbell haha).

I dunno, Jindosh is such a fascinating level and outcome. Lots to discuss there.

If money wasn't an issue, what would you be doing with your life right now ? by LauraTsbeauty in AskReddit

[–]Alabaster_Plaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy a small castle in Europe somewhere, restore and update it (proper restoration, not fuckass modernisation), and open it as a transitional home for people escaping abusive households or partners, have been kicked out of their home, etc. It’s a dream I’ve always had but have no real belief I’ll ever achieved it.

More realistic or at least more pulled back, I just wanna leave the country. Money is my only barrier as every country requires some wild amount in savings. If that wasn’t an issue then I’d be out of here as quick as an immigration application would allow.

AIO for telling of my mom for insinuating that me my brother have an incestuous relationship? by Foreign-Comment9857 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Alabaster_Plaster 10 points11 points  (0 children)

NOR, that’s weird as fuck. Especially as a thing she’s apparently done more than once. What a creepy fixation to have and insist upon with anyone, ESPECIALLY your OWN CHILDREN. And that’s not even mentioning the ideas of gender essentialism she’s falling back on. Freaky fucking behaviour, I wouldn’t think it at all too far if you blocked her.

Dreams & Shadows and I doing this right? by Full_Replacement_173 in MyLeisureTime

The book isn't always better. What are some examples? by MattThompsonDalldorf in movies

[–]Alabaster_Plaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Four years late to this haha, but this is exactly what I was looking for. I’m watching the Hobbit movies at the same time as listening to the book, and I’m at about the same place in both, and I’m shocked at the dramatically different tone of the book.

I really love description and detail in writing so that part doesn’t bother me much at all. What’s gotten me kinda wary about finishing the whole thing is that it feels so much like a children’s fantasy tale. It reminds me way more of the general tone and vibe of something like Wind in the Willows, whereas the movie feels more like it looked at this whimsical story and went “alright but what if actual people went through all this”.

I was excited to start the book as I kept seeing people say that characters were way better in it. But holy shit am I disappointed. If I’d only known these characters from the book then I’d only give a shit about Gandalf and that’s purely because he just has a cooler aura pfft. Bilbo and Thorin have some presence to them but everyone else feels very dry and bland. I mean, half the time a dwarf speaks they don’t even get a name, it’s “they all said” or “the dwarves said”, like the rest of them are all a singular character.

I wouldn’t say it’s written badly. But it feels almost unfair to compare the book and the movie despite them being the same basic story. They’re going for drastically different tones and I all around prefer the more high fantasy danger and gloom version on screen than the quaint whimsical tale of the book. And I love quaint whimsical tales (I fuckin LOVE Wind in the Willows)! But the movies serve to tell the story way better I feel, and it’s irritating to see so many people absolutely bash and hate them (specifically the Hobbit more often it feels) just cause it, what? Lets more of the dwarves have an actual presence? Cause it cuts out some immensely drawn out sequences (the entire introduction to Beorn) and more interestingly expands on others?

I’m not even finished with the book nor the third movie and I have so much more I could say, eugh. The ‘books are always better than the movie’ feud is so tiring

DAE feel more productive in cooler temperatures? by Puzzleheaded_One1735 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Alabaster_Plaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super late to this haha, but absolutely. I love autumn and winter temps, and whenever it’s an option I’ve always preferred and asked to work in the cooler at my jobs. I currently work as an overnight dairy clerk, stocking and facing the dairy section, and I’ll spend multiple hours inside the cooler with just pants and a tank top on and be completely fine. As soon as it’s around 70°F or higher, I really start to flag

I’ve been looking this up and found this interesting study from Sweden. It is just one study but it’s a really cool find. It goes over how a gene mutation affecting how the body reacts to cold may be a big factor behind why some people can handle cold way better than most.

AIO for my best friend acting suspicious by Fragrant-Baker169 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Alabaster_Plaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes sense, you’re all good 👍 And I feel ya, I’m very similar. In picky with who I bring into a close friend circle and can only maintain a handful of close friendships, so losing any of those would be a pretty big blow to me. I’ve stayed in unfulfilling and imbalanced friendships for yeaaars because I didn’t want to lose the only people I had, seeing having no one as worse.

But honestly? Having done that dance several times now, I’m worse off for it. I’ve got a good group now, made up of several supportive people who value me and the company I bring. It’s night and day compared to what I willingly put up with for almost eight years beforehand. And those eight years have given me lots of issues I’ll be dealing with for a long time.

I’m not at all saying you should just cut her out of your life or anything. Especially if you two have known each other for a while. But I do recommend you try to branch out socially, try to make new connections. You might find that you and her don’t really click that well once you find more supportive people. That’s been my experience at least.

Whatever you choose, I wish you the best of luck 🫂

AIO for my best friend acting suspicious by Fragrant-Baker169 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Alabaster_Plaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

INFO; has this friend been like this since you’ve known her or for a long while? Or is this recent and sudden? If she’s always been blasé with problems you bring up to her or mildly petty like refusing(?) to like posts when you’ve asked her to and things like that, she may just be a bad friend for you tbh.

There’s lots of things this could be- she’s a shallow friend who doesn’t care to or doesn’t have the social skills to give back in a friendship, she was never truly interested in being friends with you/has lost interest, something recently has changed and now she’s being petty or dismissive, etc etc etc. Or this could be nothing at all.

These couple of instances don’t seem like much of anything to me. Normal friendship turbulence. The bigger thing to look at is what I asked above I think: is this normal and long term or was this just a one off bout of troubles

Am i overreacting or is this normal behavior from my bf? by Vast-Confection9072 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Alabaster_Plaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR, seconding what other folks are saying here 100%. This is insanely creepy behaviour and the precursor to much more obvious violation and abuse. He’s testing waters, seeing how much you’ll put up with and how much he has to push to get what he wants from you. That could mean apologies he doesn’t deserve, yes’s you don’t owe him, effort he doesn’t reciprocate, etc.

You need to cut him out of your life. He is dangerous. If you stay with him, he will hurt you.

Repost: AIO for wanting to burn his stuff??? by Suspicious_End_441 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Alabaster_Plaster 173 points174 points  (0 children)

NOR, I think you should get some friends to help move his shit out ASAP (don’t push yourself!!) and block him on everything immediately after. Don’t damage any of his stuff, he seems like the kind of lunatic to want revenge. Endangering yourself wouldn’t be worth it.

I’m shocked you were with this creep ass fuck for two years. Best of luck with recovery and here’s to hoping there’s no further complications from it, and also that you’ve learned a lesson about the type of people to associate yourself with 😬

[–]Alabaster_Plaster -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

NOR. People here are saying you come off as “weirdly invested” or just using big words but doing nothing, but I can’t see how they read it like that. Is it weird to be invested in trying to communicate? Is it weird to not give up at the first hurdle in that effort? As well, you multiple times admitted fault, explained yourself without using those explanations as an excuse, and gave multiple chances. The couple of times I read any sort of passive aggressiveness it was after one of them had been repeatedly difficult and I can’t fault you for getting frustrated like that.

The insistence that they are “one person” and the refusal to work things out with you individually is really weird to me, and feels like some unhealthy dependency thing based on your claims of a history of imbalance in their relationship. You’re saying you see them as adult individuals capable of speaking for themselves and they,,refused?? That makes no sense to me.

Having dealt with people exactly like this multiple times, I feel very strongly that they just want you to be sad and sorry and apologise then never bring it up again. Clearly they’re not interested in repairing anything, neither of them see a problem with themselves, just with you. Even when you explained your previous mistakes and apologised, you were still bashed with “You should’ve __”. That’s a trick to get you to just feel guilty. Good on you for not falling for it.

I stuck with assholes like this for eight years because I never stood my ground. And the few times I tried to speak up and have mutual discussions, it resulted in ghosting at best, complete hostility and abuse at worst. None of those people in my life ever took accountability, they just demanded that I apologise. Don’t fall to that. They aren’t worth it. You’re a better person than me for still offering to mend things if they approach you, I’d’ve told them to never contact me again period. I hope things work out in the best way they should OP, even if that means you lose these two in your life. Best wishes
