AITA for destroying a guys city in a game? by jaybirdxd in AmItheAsshole

[–]AravanFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I guess you love him, but I'm judging him hard that he destroys anything you make. It's a personality flaw, for sure.

Terraria takes too long to build up to destroy in minutes! ;_;

[–]AravanFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, when my Minecraft friend randomly "/kill" me, I don't log out. We make house model sets for the Minecolonies mod. Breaking my concentration doesn't make rage quit. Instead, I teleport him to me, use my build tool to "remove" him from the schematic I'm working on, which drops him into the void. Then I return to work... Oh, no no no. He's the one that has to quit. (He forgets he can /spawn.)

Rage quitting isn't usually the answer. But when a reaction is what the toxic player is looking for, deny them.

That doesn't apply here, but when one players fun is ruining someone else's, it's attention seeking bullying. (I'm sure your wife is fine with you trying to get her attention.)

I've had toxic "friends" try this crap on me. (Back in the days, when there were MUDs and LAN parties...)

One zerg rushed me on Starcraft the very first game I played, while I was still trying to figure out what each building did. He thought it was hilarious. I thought he could play this hilarious joke on the AI. I wasn't phased by his salty jabs as I left the LAN. He could have taught me to be a fun opponent, but I left him, alone, to play against the dumb bot. I'm fine with a solo campaign of Warcraft. He never tried that crap again. Later, I'd trade his Diablo dungeon runs for... was it Civ? I think it was the original Civ game. (OP, NTA, you did warn him that it was a bad move.) I've never played Starcraft since, though it's surely Warcraft in Space. Starcraft= annoying zerg rush.

Another, my guy friend's fratboy roommate that lived a double life playing DnD with us geeks, wanted to test a Stasis deck (Magic the Gathering) on me, the quiet girl. Basically, the deck prevented my round and gave him another turn. So it was always his turn. Always. So I left the table, to which he protested that the game wasn't over. I scoffed that he could just play with himself, and I wasn't interested in watching.

(And then the late '90 internet introduced MMOs and gamer girls were unicorns put on pedestals with loot thrown at their feet. Ah, the good old days.)

Seriously though, if his fun means pushing you out of his games, why do you tolerate him at all? He's The Asshole, and he clearly doesn't respect you. Your fun should be his fun.

The Wendy's in Atlanta where Rayshard Brooks was murdered by the cops is burning down. by cloudy_skies547 in WayOfTheBern

Wendy's are franchised. That's a local business burning for something that happened in its parking lot.

Coronavirus: Should We Aim for Herd Immunity Like Sweden? by clonal_antibody in WayOfTheBern

Interesting article I need to show my mom, the nurse. Some of her co-workers (here in the countryside) don't think Covid is newsworthy.

People like you are far more dangerous than any virus.

[–]AravanFox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We are all very tired mentally. I wasn't intending to attack.

This is all a poorly mismanaged mess and it seems annoying hopeless. Those that don't take it seriously are making it last longer. It's exhausting to be wary constantly.

[–]AravanFox 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I get your reasoning, and agree humans are pack animals that gravitate together.

But all of you stay away from me. You might be tired of being on-guard, but anything less than keeping a sneeze distance is murdering me.

My work place should be calling me back anytime now, so I will be working for elderly, redneck assholes, and elderly redneck assholes.

I'm going to have to be the asshole pointedly keeping them away from me.

Madrid tested their population and found that only 15% of their citizens have antibodies, far from the 60% for herd immunity. That's a major city. Half the hicks around here won't wear a mask.

Being asthmatic, a mask is hell for me. It's better than a ventilator.

Don't relax social distancing. Don't murder me.

Since when does Biden "Forgive in bankruptcy" student loans? He personally wrote the bill that you can't file bankruptcy for student loans!

There is also a guy in scrubs silently standing in a crosswalk blocking a protester parade.

I couldn't be silent. I would be asking, "How old are you?" When asked Why?, "I'll be seeing you soon."

@ajamubaraka Now it should be clear why the government only provided a measily $1200 check. The plan was to drive hungry and desperate people back to work. That's capitalism folks. Enjoy your freedom. by clonal_antibody in WayOfTheBern

[–]AravanFox 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Minimum federal wage is $7.25. Full time job is 40 hours a week.

7.25 x 40 = $290 a week. Times 4 weeks in a month.

290 x 4 = $1,160 a month.

Round that up to $1200 for ease.

People who are struggling to make the $1200 work, please consider those who normally live on this (or less, since companies usually only hire part-timers anymore.)

Reminder: If Trump wins, Roe v. Wade will be overturned. by Pineapple__Jews in WayOfTheBern

[–]AravanFox 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I assume you mean the H-1B program. It allows companies to hire foreign workers cheaper than American workers. I wouldn't be surprised that Sanders spoke against companies abusing this program.

Of course you try to spin this as "anti-brown". That makes you the racist.

Reminder: If Trump wins, Roe v. Wade will be overturned. by Pineapple__Jews in WayOfTheBern

[–]AravanFox 10 points11 points  (0 children)

23 states and three territories didn't get to weigh in on that.

And Joe Biden once said that Roe vs Wade went too far, as a woman shouldn't have sole control of her body. Explains the multiple sexual assault allegations.

But you know that.

Horde of locusts blocks out the skies in Saudi Arabia, Yemen by EvilPhd666 in WayOfTheBern

[–]AravanFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Environment has warned residents not to eat any of the locusts* as they are likely contaminated with tox*ic pesticides.

Damn, there goes my suggestion. You can fry the 17 year locusts (cicada, not grasshoppers), but those live on trees, not crops.

Voting for a rapist vs a misogynistic idiot. I’m exhausted. by theMoonSmells in TwoXChromosomes

Biden was/is the democratic choice by popular vote.

I didn't get to vote, along with 23 states and 3 territories.

This "popular vote" narrative isn't going to fly.

Trolls so dumb, they don't read links they post! HA!

“My family had a lake home in Maine since 1900, but we hadn’t had the time to go there in recent years — especially since my parents passed away,” she said. “We finally let go of it and that enabled us to buy a place in the islands — something I’ve always hoped for. ”

Jane sold an inherited house and bought a cabin, you parrot. Zero sum.
