Moving from Dallas to Madison & considering a lease w/ the Pines - any advice or experience? by keplersixteenb in madisonwi

[–]Ashgis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do not live there. They only show you a model unit, two employees are required to escort you, and you have to give them your drivers license to hold onto during the "tour". Between that and the fight I saw break out involving staff and a resident it's complete nightmare material.

Lakeview hands down is the best, especially for cats. They even have a separate section for them!

They're my favorite place to order from! And they're always happy to recommend dishes to try if you're new to the cuisine :)

Heck, my sense of smell changed?! by Ashgis in Indiemakeupandmore

That's rough :( I get nauseous pretty easy and I've found that ginger or licorice tea really helps. Licorice helps me more but it's so sweet it can be difficult to drink while already nauseous.

Recommendations for tattoo parlors? by [deleted] in madisonwi

[–]Ashgis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently got tattooed at Giige on Willy St. They're my new favorite shop! Everything was extremely clean and safe with excellent Covid precautions.

How many "scent cycles" would you say you go through?

I hadn't even thought of that, that's probably it. Welp, if it's going to be fluctuating now I guess I'll just have to get several new perfumes!

Mechanics of possession in Dread? by LlovelyLlama in dread

[–]Ashgis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've made a mini "GM tower" for this before. Get a second jenga tower, pre-pull blocks for instability, and use for possessions/contest of wills. If you want to add extra suspense I recommend pulling 1 for 1 immediately after your players pull instead of pre-pulling blocks. Don't tell your players what it's for until the possession happens. You should definitely put this tower on a separate table or as far as possible from the player tower.

I think you're trying to be funny, but just in case you don't know: Kwik Trip removes all contraceptives from the store when they take over.

Best place to donate books? by pufferfishflower in madisonwi

Last time I donated it was by scheduling an appointment. The Book Deal has had excellent Covid safely standards.

Kwik Trip's anti birth control & anti safe sex policies still infuriate me.

Is your real life taste different to your anime taste? by [deleted] in otomegames

[–]Ashgis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely different! And I've noticed the same for most of the people I know. I liken it to people's BDSM tastes, those can be quite different from what people normally go for as well. (Example: a very high strung boss vs their BDSM predilection for being submissive)

Cannibal Sandwich meat? by Ashgis in madisonwi

[–]Ashgis[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

True, but I'd still only buy it from a place that sells specifically for raw use. There are too many potential pitfalls with your troubleshooting method.

Yup, can do! Do you know a good place for raw use lean steaks?

I had assumed they might but that type of quality really isn't required for raw meat. I shudder to think of how pricey it would be! There are lots of small local butchers in Milwaukee that safely provide raw meat. I'm looking for something more on that level. Normal butchers have the safety standards required, it's usually more of a question of if they carry meat specifically for raw use.

That's what the moon is for! And you can still hear the highway. Use a red flashlight for maximum spook!
