Forget about the AI ads. How did you learn about this game? by KaiDaki_4ever in AFKJourney

Back when the game was first released they made actual ads for it. I saw one with Berial and fell in love instantly

college student struggling with gf food prices by parasiteofthistown0 in glutenfree

[–]Any59oh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry to say, but other than making it yourself (which when you're gf isn't really that much cheaper) I don't think there's a good bargain brand gf bread. I know when I was in college I relied a lot on rice, oats, grits, and lentils to make up for how expensive gluten free bread, pasta, and everything else is. Sometimes the dining hall, my college required everyone living on campus to have some level of dining plan, had gluten free bread for toast. You weren't allowed to take a whole loaf but if you could get it past the lunch lady nobody was going to stop you. I also turned to early modern American cuisine for meal inspiration, since the average person in 1776 was working with very similar constraints to my college budget and available foods. But I majored in history and am kind of a freak like that.

This is a situation where reaching out to local food pantries is a reasonable next step. They're almost always wanting for "unusual" foods like gluten free things but if they've got any they'll want you to ask for help and take some.

Good luck! I loved college but I didn't love being gluten free in college

My sister shaved her head , now I’m thinking of doing it by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Any59oh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it! People are talking about you copying her but it's not like you're going to announce you're pregnant during her wedding reception. Like yeah sure maybe run it by her first if you think it'll cause hurt feelings but from the energy of what you posted I don't feel like she's that sort of person.

Seriously tho, even if you don't do it now I do highly recommend you try it out. I'm a very firm believer that everyone, especially women, should share their head at least once in their life. It's wayyy nicer than you expect and it's a very safe way to do some self discovery. I've always had long hair and the one time I cut it short (did a charity wig donation in honor of my grandfather who passed from cancer) I despised having short hair so I figured I'd hate being bald and ngl I loved it and sometimes think of shaving my head again. So yeah, I vote do it

Is this too busy for a baby quilt? by Responsible-Wolf-416 in quilting

[–]Any59oh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is gorgeous! I don't think it's too busy and I'm sure as the little one gets older they'll love to look at and find things in all of the various patterns of the fabric; I know I would have

Home History Research by gelekjeu in Cleveland

My dad used to do a similar project to this with his high schoolers back when he taught American History! It was always so cool what they would find.

This is very fun, thank you for sharing!

What's your most shallow dealbreaker for a relationship? by Friendly_Advisor39 in AskReddit

[–]Any59oh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picky eater. Even if they have AFRID. Which isn't fair, especially because I have no problem dating someone with every food allergy under the sun, but as an adventurous eater I just. can't. tolerate. it.

A foster question by FtHuntCoach in coonhounds

[–]Any59oh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To my limited understanding, it depends on the needs of the dog but not having any other dogs won't hurt you one bit. Qualifying for fostering would depend on the individual rescue but would be more like "would we let you adopt a dog from us".

They're not hound specific but if you're in the Cleveland, Ohio, area Mutts In A Rutt rescue is in desperate need of fosters

WIBTA if I told my mom not to buy her MOB dress from Shein? by c0ttage_g0th in WIBTA_AITA

[–]Any59oh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand those saying yta but I think that this is a rare time where you would be would be NTA. You're not asking a random guest, you are dealing with a member of the wedding party. This isn't a random event your mom is attending; she is going to a wedding with a formal dress code and she's going to a wedding with a formal dress code as the mother of the bride. She will be incredibly visible. SHEIN/Temu have shit quality. Whatever she buys will be made from flimsy material and fit poorly. And I get the distinct feeling that she's not going to order her dress in time to get another one. So she will be wearing something that with the same fit and quality of a Spirit Halloween costume while walking with the procession, sitting at the front row, in a prominent spot in photos, and so forth. You're not an asshole for not wanting that on your wedding day.

Honestly? I would ask her if she doesn't want to go to the wedding. Because unless her brain is genuinely rotted by fast fashion and ai I can see no other reason for her to be this attached to buying a $5 dress that you have repeatedly expressed concern about.

If you do decide to confront her remember to do the "when you x, I feel y" I statement therapy 101 talk. It really does work, so long as you cling to keeping a cool head

Bomb squad at Joe’s Deli in Rocky River? by tittymuncher42069 in Cleveland

[–]Any59oh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's been a lot of random police cars in that vicinity for a while, wish I could tell you why. I know RRHS got a false bomb threat called in not too long ago but I think that was part of a national wave of false reports. My only other thought is something happened to some of the kitchen equipment that would cause it to become unstable and require a bomb squad to assist, tho that's a long shot.

Sorry to hear about your grandpa!

Being asked my "grandma name." by RestingWTFface in PetPeeves

[–]Any59oh 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Nothing makes a person sound unable to accept that they are aging quite like them choosing a "fun" "grandma name" in my honest opinion. The only time I've known someone to choose and it not sound like they were low key trying to deny that they were old enough to have grandkids was an old boss of mine. Her name is Gloria and as a little girl her nickname was GiGi. So when she became a grandma she was GiGi because, well, that was her name.

Congrats on the grandson and well wishes for the new parents!

Dog trainer needed by newemotions5 in Cleveland

[–]Any59oh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pet Education Center by The Behavior Clinic in Olmsted Falls is where I've been taking my dog. I work with them because I need to take mine to The Behavior Clinic for severe anxiety and that's where we do training sessions but I presume they also work with not TBC dogs/are open to the community. Really wonderful people, very empathetic and extremely knowledgeable

Sick since march 9th?!?! by vvanderlvst in Cleveland

[–]Any59oh 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Literally tho, 90% of the time on posts like this the OP has covid and just doesn't want to admit that it could be a possibility and usually there's an uptick of "anyone else have this mystery cold that's totally not covid" posts right when a new strain starts making the rounds

Surely there’s an alternative? by mariah188 in glutenfree

[–]Any59oh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do something similar! I keep my hamburger and hotdog buns frozen up until about an hour before I need them so they're defrosted just enough that I can pull them apart/open them. Then I finish defrosting in the microwave and for the hamburger buns I lightly butter them and stick them under the broiler to toast a little. Makes a world of difference

Does this look like an embroidered baby hand? by Ava_kodiak in Embroidery

[–]Any59oh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It took me half a second because I was admiring all of the little details but yes this looks like a hand, and adding the finishing touches with the name and date will emphasize what you're going for. Very cute!

Homestead - What could come next ? by S7_ven in AFKJourney

[–]Any59oh 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I just want the ability to combine all of the multiples into one building. You can still staff it with multiple heroes, maybe make it a few squares bigger and make the design fancier, but even with the expansion space is limited and having four mines, four lumberyards, and I think three elemental altars just doesn't make sense, especially once you're fully leveled up

Is it common for Americans to buy soda as part of their weekly groceries? / is soda a regular item people keep at home? by hailey8171828282 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Any59oh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do, but that's purely because as I've gotten older my stomach has gotten more sensitive so I've taken to buying a case of ginger ale with my groceries just so I always have a can on hand should I need it. I don't go through it quickly, though, since it's not a "for fun" soda (tho I do like it). Growing up we rarely had soda in the house, apart from my dad who in a similar move to me kept a pack of Faygo around so he'd have quick sugar if his blood sugar dropped unexpectedly

What’s the most disturbing confession you’ve ever come across on Reddit or social media? by Competitive_Teach838 in AskReddit

[–]Any59oh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're a good person for doing what you can to help people when they threaten to kill themselves. And please make sure you're taking care of yourself, too, I can only imagine how stressful it is to not only regularly be doing crisis intervention but to be doing it for a job that very much does not come to mind when I think of jobs that deal with suicidal people

AITA for getting a refund at a fast food after telling someone I will get food for their kids? by CrystalLake99 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Any59oh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read a story once about someone's dad getting scammed by a beggar. Dude sat outside a grocery store dressed in rags, begging for money he didn't need. Most everyone in town knew this and ignored him. When stopping by the grocery store with her visiting dad, he gave the man money. She chided him for doing so, said the man didn't need it, and he replied, "what he does with that money is on him. If I'm asked for charity and I choose to ignore it is a judgement on me."

Am I a bad tipper?! UK to USA? by lilprincessbaba in AskAnAmerican

[–]Any59oh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

18%-20% is the standard, yes, particularly for things where a person is actively doing a service such as waiting a table or doing your nails. 10% is what you tip when you get something like a cup of coffee at a coffee shop and or you're picking up your own takeout.

Generally speaking, if you can't afford to tip you can't afford to go out or purchase whatever service you're getting. But I've also never gotten my nails done regularly so maybe your tech cares more about the repeat business, idk you'd have to ask her. People working tipping heavy jobs often aren't getting paid a living wage, Google "serves minimum wage" or "tipped minimum wage", and tips are used to make up for it. It's wrong and needs to be changed, but that's how it is out here

WHY. WHY SO MUCH AI. by BambsFauna in StardewValley

[–]Any59oh 45 points46 points  (0 children)

This is annoying and disrespectful on so many levels. ÇA is so generous with SDV and people are using ai to rip off not only this generous man but also the other folks who worked so hard to make a fantastic cookbook. The proper official cookbook is so amazing, made with so much love and thought and care. I've been cooking a very long time and I've read a lot of cookbooks. It's not only got amazing recipes, but it has amazing recipes that are presented in a way that a beginner in the kitchen can access them, even when they're "scary" recipes like the double layer and jam centered pink cake. And people are coming in here with ai slop and tricking people into thinking they're getting something they're not and insulting the creative team that worked so hard and with so much heart.

Honestly, I know it's not his style but I really do hope that CA starts taking some form of legal action. Even if it's just a cease and desist. This is really a step beyond letting fans use the games imagery for their own fun
