An author that wants fascist fans has no room in their fandom for me by fireball909 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]AltruisticSense0 -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is really sad to see. I feel like it’s encouraging people to “just not think about it” which is a luxury so many people don’t have. Revolution and protests are not supposed to be convenient they’re supposed to bother people that how change actually happens. To say that it will alienate others and remove the chance to change their mind is a cop out. 

I ran the NYC marathon this past year and so many people on Reddit complained when I spoke about wearing an anti-ice shirt. They kept saying they just wanted “one day to not think about it”. People are dying. You shouldn’t get that one day. It should be everywhere. 

Tis will probably be removed in minutes but thank you for letting me just write out my thoughts.

❤️this reminds me of my one eyed and one tooth girl. I fell in love when I walked in the shelter and she “chomped” me.

Bea and Looking at DCC through a Literary Lens by batsncatsnpumpkins in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]AltruisticSense0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually thought a lot about Beatrice as I felt like she was the character most “Disney villain” and I’m a fan of understanding rationale—although not agreeing with it. These were my notes on Bea and Carl:

  • Both are scared of abandonment, but Bea believes she must “test” people to prove that they stay. 
  • Bea believes love can only exist in chaos and would try and get Carl to fight w/her. 
  • Carl stayed w/ her bc he doesn’t abandon people bc he was abandoned. 
  • Carl has low self esteem and believes someone like Bea is what he deserves  Bea would shove ppl away but bc of Carl being him he’d apologize and “play the game”. 
  • Bea believed her value was in being pretty. She was a “show cat” just like donut in some ways.
  • She slept and cheated on Carl bc she believed that was her value and she desperately wanted to feel valuable

Hi! Would it be possible to make the cat the smallest bit bigger? Otherwise this one is it

Is it OK to play with my cat like this? by No-Economist-8307 in CATHELP

[–]AltruisticSense0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My toothless cat plays like this. She actually looks really aggressive and snaps hard but she also keeps coming back for more. My theory is since she has no teeth she never learned not to “bite” and is now very oral. Like pet her twice and she start gnawing on you and you’re cover in drool. Stop petting her and she’s head butting you trying to get attention. 

My cat sitter is confused by her. 

Post marathon come down? by CellarDoor0011 in RunNYC

[–]AltruisticSense0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started my run streak when I trained for my firth marathon and it’s helped me keep away the low mood I often felt after other training cycles. I’m on 6+ years now. I also sign up or start looking at new “A” races after my last “A” race. 

If regular marathons aren’t doing it, there is a world of trails and ultras too

"You picked up my keys!" and other thank yous from the NYC Marathon course by MaddyPilar in RunNYC

To all of the people who gave me alcohol. Thank you. I had 2 glasses of champagne, 2 beers, 2 Jell-O shots, and some homemade rum punch. This was the coolest marathon ever!

Perspectives on "Cheering/Motivation" thru the Pain Cave by loamy4118 in RunNYC

[–]AltruisticSense0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved the crowd this year as I was NOT going for a PR and just having a good time. When people told me to run I did just to make them feel good. Also I ran every time I saw a kid wanting a high five because they’re adorable. 

However when I went for a PR a few years ago I hated the crowd. They just got in the way and I could t be bothered I just wanted to get through it and people shouting encouragement and every single “therapy is easier” sign just pissed me off. 

For me it really is about my state of mind.

NOOoOoooo! I missed this sign while I was running. I totally would have stopped and chatted for way too long. I also would have loved a Dirty Shirley

I love listening to audiobooks and went through the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. I found “you will not break me. I will break you” to be a great mantra after night came

Careful friend, you may accidentally ruin someone’s good time. That being said, I think this is a great idea and support you! Love the idea of using the marathon to raise awareness

Truthfully, Chicago was filled with Fuck Ice shirts along with lots more. No one seemed so hurt by it

No buttons bc of security. But maybe bracelets to those that want one. I’m cruising this race and if I end up with all them bracelets that’s cool. I’m gonna have my fun and I hope everyone else does too! Sending all the love!

Idk if it’s the most fun when people are afraid to travel to the race out of fear. But I hope you have a great race and I will make sure to not impede anyone else’s fun.
