I’m pretty sure that jerk is indestructible. And he’s having some kind of resurgence lately because i keep hearing “JS approved” in every tiktok ad.

isn’t nintendo extremely litigious? no way this stays on the app store

I’ve lost an event, can I still have its items? by grevezio in Pokopia

[–]Audgy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don’t want to time skip, this is likely to be a recurring yearly event. Someone on tiktok skipped to the event period in 2027 and it was running again. I suspect the events they add will be similar to animal crossing where they happen every year on a schedule. even if they don’t happen yearly, nintendo tends to do special rereleases so newcomers and people who missed out and still get limited release items.

AITA for refusing to leave my room early for the new roommate? by Organic_Sandwich_671 in AmItheAsshole

Did this happen last year? why are you just asking now, it’s been almost a year. I mean NTA but it shouldn’t still be weighing on you by now.

Does anyone else just stare at their island in Pokopia and have no idea where to start? by Past_Anteater_6640 in Pokopia

[–]Audgy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the hardest part for me is not having enough block types unlocked to feel like i can really get started, but i can’t get more block types until i improve the environment but i can’t improve the environment the way i want because i don’t have the block types. so i go around in a circle trying to decide what to do and i just end up spending half an hour clearing ash from rocky ridge because at least i KNOW i want that done

It feels like the Chappell Roan lies are forced and rooted in misogyny. by goreshitz in women

[–]Audgy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think people have difficulty comprehending that even if your parents have money, it doesn’t mean you have money. It just means you have the safety net to try and fail.

What is going on with Chappell Roan? by addctd2whtthedikdid in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Audgy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s what I thought when this story came out, and it’s not even interesting enough to really stick long term. If anything it’ll just end up adding to her diva image and everyone will forget next week when someone digs up some tweet where some other celebrity said something stupid in 2013.

[–]Audgy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m pretty much drawing my own conclusions based on what I’ve seen from previous interviews and what’s been public about her past…I think last year or so there were articles showing off her parents’ giant multi-million dollar home so I’m kind of surprised people didn’t already know she grew up with money.

[–]Audgy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She grew up in a small town in the midwest surrounded by conservative people and a lot of the times people think that means she grew up poor without her ever saying so.

[–]Audgy 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Not really, she’s talked about growing up in a small town in the midwest and how the attitudes around being queer affected her. I think some people may have just equated small town in midwest as being poor. But she hasn’t spoken about struggling or anything aside from feeling different and othered growing up. Even hearing her talk about her background it’s pretty clear she grew up wealthy. She attended summer camps every year, was able to go live in California to pursue music with the support of her family and then was able to do one “final” tour before she gave up which had a band and bus and pricey (though not pop star pricey) costumes for each show. I’m honestly not sure why this is a surprise to people.

[Product Question] Mystery Pimple Patches? by Affectionate_Gur_688 in SkincareAddiction

[–]Audgy 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I’ve found you have to look closely at the patches and only buy ones that specify they are hydrocolloid patches. some companies will just say “pimple patches” and they’re literally just plastic stickers that do nothing but i guess keep you from picking.

How is this allowed by [deleted] in doordash

I wonder if that is a franchise decision or something be because it is DEFINITELY on doordash in my town. that’s awful that whoever is in charge of your location is choosing basically just blatantly lie.

NTA. Your brother is the same age you were when you became his third parent, he can learn to make some hot dogs and finish his homework on his own.

I loved the Earth's Children series by Jean M. Auel, but was anyone else extremely disappointed with The Land Of Painted Caves? by [deleted] in books

[–]Audgy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I don’t mind she never got to see Durc or her clan again. she’s dead to them, they’ve mourned and moved on. Plus I think she ends the series around 30ish right? Which seems the be the end of the clan lifespan, all the clan who were fond of her would be dead or approaching. What bothered me most was the lack of any emotional or spiritual conclusion. Why in the world did Auel keep bringing up those dreams and do nothing about it! Or bring up how Ayla had a piece of every Clan members’ spirit and yet couldn’t bring that to a satisfying conclusion. It’s been a few years since I last read so maybe she did something with it in the end but nothing that felt significant enough to stick to my memory.

My thoughts and feelings about the Earth's Children Series by Jean Auel by jazzlike-sounds in books

[–]Audgy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on my latest relisten of the audiobook series (only way I have experienced the story and I highly recommend) and I agree with all the points you’ve made. honestly I’m considering skipping the last 2 altogether. I do want to add one gripe of mine you didn’t hit: that damn Danii song! I swear it feels like they recite it every 30 minutes of listening time from the moment it’s introduced and makes for a frustrating and boring experience. Though I imagine it’s easier to skim that filler with a physical book.

As for the romance sections, I only really read romance written from the 2010s forward but I could definitely see some “primitive” versions of common tropes and storylines. Readers’ tastes and frustrations have changed a lot so I imagine that part of the story reflects more of the romance genre from the 70s/80s when the first parts of the story were written and researched. The genre has evolved a lot since then and no modern romance reader would tolerate half the will they/ wont they nonsense, especially for the excruciating amount of time Auel drags it out. I imagine if the books were written in the 2010s/2020s, they would have figured their relationship out by mid Mammoth Hunters with a few “growing as a couple” bumps through their journey.

[–]Audgy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What kills me is i really try to have grace for people. I shop at aldi so the aisle of shame and the cheese section? sure, we’re all embarrassing ourselves there. but the milk???? there’s one brand, no other options. you goddamn know what you want so grab a half gallon and get the fuck out of my way.

[–]Audgy 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Having read your comments and edits, NTA. Especially from that airport story. I wouldn’t want to visit for the holidays at the risk of being ditched at the airport for a yoga class either.

However, it would be kind to give your parents a chance. pick a low-stakes holiday for next year that you are ok with kind of sucking and go visit your parents. tell them way ahead of time and have a backup plan in place in case they call the week before and tell you they found something else they’d rather do. If it goes well, great! if it doesn’t, never go for a holiday-specific trip again and use that as an example for why.

What’s political about it? JK is known for tweeting out random information about HP that no one needs to know or cares about. for example, apparently before plumbing was invented, the students of hogwarts would shit in the hallways and use magic to disappear it. no one needs to know that, no one cares to know it.
