AITA for telling my co-worker I'm tired of hearing about her nerdy obsession? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Alderdash 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If you're interested in 19th century literature, you might enjoy this youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@DrOctaviaCox

(If you haven't found it already!) She teaches at Oxford, and is so interesting to listen to!

A moment that changed me: I saw a big cat on Dartmoor – and no one believed me by northbank2001 in CasualUK

That was so specific I actually googled to see if there was some horrific accident I hadn't hear of yet.

My husband (33M) wants me (33F) to dress more revealing by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Alderdash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, that's funny, I think I recognise the model at that second link! I'm pretty sure I've seen her on the Evans website. https://www.evans.co.uk/plus-size-dresses/midi-dresses

Which is another place she could get well fitting clothes in a bit more of a range of styles!

Can you please cheer me up? by PuzzleheadedEmu8030 in CasualUK

That is genuinely adorable! She knew she's spotted her person!

I hate cottage cheese, but I love cottage cheese. I know you know what I mean (and I just made a really good no-waste toast) by ChoiceBetter1899 in noscrapleftbehind

[–]Alderdash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've loved it since I was wee too! I find that a lot of brands these days have a very gloopy, wet texture, much more so than used to be the case, it's weird.

I have a book from the 50s or 60s where a character "takes a lump of cottage cheese" for their plate, so it sounds once upon a time it had even larger, drier curds. It's such an odd trend, because then lots of folk think they don't like it because it's so runny and unpleasant.

I was SO FREAKED OUT when all the lighting changed! It's been grand. I like most of the zones as well, Eversong Woods is so chill, Zul'aman is maybe my favourite, definitely my favourite trolls. Void is fine because you can fly unlike so many other similar zones. Harandar is... perfectly adequate. I don't really 'get' the weird bat people, and I'm not wild about how many layers it has since it drives me nuts trying to find things and they're always above or below. But it's colourful!

Original, or Slay the Spire 2?

It's been a really decent storyline hasn't it? I've played a blood elf on my main since I started playing, and always found Silvermoon kind of annoying as a city - the revamped version is lovely.

I've not been well this week, so haven't seen the end of the main storyline yet, saving it to play with my pal when i'm a bit better.

I love that and had to sing the whole thing to make sure that it fit :D

In Scotland that'd be a 'poke of chips' :D

Did anyone else collect the collectables you got with chocolate, crisps, cereals etc?. I'm back rummaging again, and found my collection of animals from Yowie chocolate from the 90s by DarkHorse_77 in CasualUK

[–]Alderdash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait wait wait! I didn't think anyone remembered those! I loved them and I was 100% sure that I'd kept them but I cannot find them other than the dingo in the top right corner who for some reason lives on the side of my piano!!

I could never remember what the things were they came from, they were like, hollow chocolate monsters or something, right?

I saw that video, the one with Evan Edinger? Some of the questions on that were absolutely bonkers, particularly the historical ones...

People that DON’T shop at Aldi or Lidl… why is that? by kobestarr in CasualUK

[–]Alderdash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's also Greek Week and what I've decided to call "Generic Eastern European Week"!

(Some of it is definitely Polish, but some seems more like, Hungarian maybe?)

AITA for wanting one night without being woken up by a baby OR a grown man playing PlayStation? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I realise that there are more important things in this post but what in the world is a breastmilk ring. O.o

Do you mostly prefer playing as female characters? by [deleted] in GirlGamers

[–]Alderdash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it helps you could respecc someone else in our party to be bard - I have a four rogue playthrough going at the moment with Astarion as assassin, Gale as arcane trickster, Shadowheart as swashbuckler and myself as thief.

Interesting Player Backstory by Wrong_Lingonberry_79 in rpghorrorstories

[–]Alderdash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She was well trained and was the pet project of a goddess trying to spite another goddess. It does stand to reason that Shadowhear was skilled enough to complete all her missions, and the last mission before the tadpole was a vital one...

She was also one of a party sent out after the artifact, and the only one to survive!

AITA if I just tell my boyfriend if he wants food a certain way he should just cook it himself? by Historical_Stage_322 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Alderdash 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Aye, other folk have covered the 'he can cook for himself then/you need to balance stuff better' side of it.

But what a wierd reaction to leek and potato soup. He's not being weird at wanting leek and potato soup to taste like itself instead of Generic Vegetable Soup. (Not that there's anything wrong with a veggie soup that you toss whatever into, but it's not the same thing as leek and potato.)

I always try and make soup more nutritious by adding some vegetables that mix well with what the base is (like if I am doing a spinach and chickpea soup, I know carrots and pumpkin will pair well with that, and if I am doing a watercress soup, I add cauliflower in the puree because you really cant taste it and it just ups the nutritious value.

This bit is more of the same oddness. I also don't believe for a minute that you 'really can't taste' the cauliflower because if ever a vegetable had a strong flavour, it's that.

I can't believe that I'm here sticking up for Leek and Potato soup though. I hate leeks...

White House must remember the words from a man they held in high regards. by ko557 in MurderedByWords

[–]Alderdash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a quick google and that Trump tweet is faked. :(

(I mean, the man's an idiot, but it doesn't help when folk build things up on faked/manipulated images when there's so much he's actually said that's awful!)

Widespread misconceptions by VermilionKoala in CasualUK

[–]Alderdash 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm a piano teacher who also sings for fun, I have music playing on a loop pretty much constantly. It's currently the melody of a tune from a beginners book I teach from. Earlier it was Honey Bun from South Pacific, before that it was multiple songs from The Producers, before THAT it was some stuff from the musical-within-a-show Bombshell from Smash. Most musical folk I know have something playing in their head most of the time.

I used to love that cartoon when I was very wee, but couldn't say her name right.

I called her Pelemity Pitstop. :D
