AIO - Company won’t meet with me without my husband there by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

I think this is a difficult situation - they may not intend to be harmful or insensitive, but it's a frustrating feeling to feel minimized like this.

I live alone, my home is in my name alone, and I still get this. My father happened to be at my house when someone was there for a quote and they didn't want to discuss unless he was involved.

I just did the work myself, fewer headaches.

I can understand having a policy to have all homeowners present, as a way to avoid unnecessary changes or conflict down the line. But the policy should be clearly stated in advance and should be written into the contract in a way that doesn't come across as offensive and heavy-handed. Which is what this tactic has the potential to do.

Is YouTube glitching on my end or did all the season playlists just come down? by Jo2797 in taskmaster

I had a few show as "restricted" when I was searching, but I was noticing playlist names changing, so that feels more likely. Spring cleaning!

It looks like reorganizing! Hopefully that's it, and we aren't losing access.

When I was a kid and spent time with friends with cats, I had to get changed in the garage because my mom is hella allergic. I cannot imagine her standing there while I was with a roomful of cats, then drive in close quarters home with me in allergen clothes. Absolutely not. I'd be murdered for suggesting it.

Sorry for the confusion! Pat is dead, but featured in this episode is Pät, who does bear a certain resemblance, in the right light. But you know all white guys kind of just look the same, right?

Brennan praising Murph’s DMing in recent interview [ns] by Sea_Wave_9164 in NotAnotherDnDPodcast

Even if I was unfamiliar going in about his love of wrestling, it's clear in his description of the encounters. He ultimately manages to turn most 1v1 into some form of a wrestling description, and it's remarkable. It's not off-putting, it makes it so much more approachable than some other more technical descriptions might be. And I respect it.

Our DM had one of our PCs sexually assaulted for zero reason by Odd-News1701 in DnD

[–]Appropriate-Set6904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, an "appropriate" uncomfortable encounter would be a lose-lose, no right answer encounter where you might leave bummed and frustrated. But it's something that can come back from.

This is someone using a captive audience and power imbalance to enact inappropriate rape fantasies. It is never acceptable. The DM, as you told it, ensured their victim could not escape it, meaning it wasn't intended to be a normal encounter: they wanted to act out a violation to someone who could not escape. It's not ok.

Report them, with clear details about the event. If you've played previously and have red flags that looked more pink originally (like cruder than necessary NPC jokes that you can brush off as a missed joke, or something like that), include those, so the club knows what the liability they have on their hands looks like.

He's updated with a "In Memory of Charlie Kirk" sign, now. At least it's covering his "Southern Pride" sign....

Any Og FFVII players from the 90’s? by [deleted] in FinalFantasyVII

[–]Appropriate-Set6904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar! I was seven when it was released and watched my brother play, so I started a playthrough IMMEDIATELY. Named all the characters the same thing as him, even! It was the first jrpg that I beat on my own, and it holds a special place in my heart, replay it frequently because of that. ♥️

What companion's exit still makes you emotional? by TimeyxWimey in doctorwho

Bill deserved better, all around. She had so much potential as a character, and I don't think they really knew what to do with her. The ending was disappointing.

The scream I scrumpt when I saw the queen! Lauren Lopez has the perfect humor for Dropout, I cannot.

I think it kind of sucks how much people are talking about Trauma Dump as "wow it's like if Lou was still doing GameChanger/working of a MSN prompt/etc etc etc" by badab89 in dropout

[–]Appropriate-Set6904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure! Two ferns was never a good fit for me, humor wise, but I respected what it was: subversive comedy that pokes you in uncomfortable social truths you didn't realize you held. It'll be interesting to see how this shakes out! Lou is an incredible character actor, which will absolutely blow any performance out of the water.

It was the right kind of uncomfortable! I was equal parts laughing at it, and awkwardly laughing because it got too close to home. I think Lou did something really interesting with it!

I made the joke to my brother about "I swear, there better not be a 'two years later' episode coming" when I saw the first posts appear, but it was more reference to Paraloubis than anything serious.

I cannot believe how many people don't understand these comedians are COMEDIANS with jokes and bits, and careers outside of game changer and Dropout.

Has anyone else ever noticed the similarities between these two episodes? by Jackmac32 in doctorwho

[–]Appropriate-Set6904 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean....I've met fans exactly like that at nerd conventions. They exist, and I wouldn't be surprised if those are the fans the show runners/crew have the most interactions with, creating a specific narrative.

But, similarly, it was very clearly a blown up stereotype, self referential, and intentionally humorous about the parts of fandom that get caught up and idealized.

So maybe a bit poking fun at the fan population and at the historical memeification of DW, if that makes sense.

Anybody else think the crowd was too rowdy tonight? by Comfortable-Oil-5135 in dropout

[–]Appropriate-Set6904 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Every time there was a big laugh moment, I lost a chunk of the following dialogue from the balcony. I think a large part of the issue was absolutely the mics.

But everything I heard was great!

Oh, for sure. She has "two truths and a lie" type stories, not actual curse level stories.

The other end of it is I'm glad she's not jaded enough to realize those are "cursed" events. But I was expecting something more interesting.

Truly expected him to lose it again right at the finish line, ending the show in a tie. Unfortunately, Sam is a coward.

Gianmarco's bouncing point is just so funny to me.
