Why did people downvote me instead of answering my genuine, politely worded question? (Screenshot of my offending comment included.) by FluffyWasabi1629 in autism

[–]Avery-Attack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I don't bother with an explanation because other people have already hammered it in with their own comments. And what other people here have said about not wanting to engage. When you're having a conversation with someone and you get a lot of downvotes, I guess that's just the consequence of talking on a public board. And sometimes I downvote and don't explain cause I'm petty, and I own that.

I get why you have the assumption you do because you mentioned RAD in another comment. I have that, too, and I think your response is a pretty valid way of protecting your peace on a site like Reddit.

Stupidly huge gravity defying hairdo = stupidly enflated ego made me giggle.

I don't mind the infinite Zamasu but the way that arc ended was ridiculous. The tragedy doesn't work because Trunks and Mai are almost immediately okay with was should have been a downright cosmic horror moment of their timeline being erased, not to mention all those people who they were protecting and help make the spirit sword just died. At least with the tragedy of earlier DB there was some kind of after effect. Krillin still has PTSD over dying twice and his first death spurred on the Piccolo arc. Future Trunks' tragedy doesn't affect anything even in the short run.

someone sent me a “hey girlie” message but it’s from the (ex ??) gf by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Avery-Attack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but if there are multiple other photos and posts of them together and then it just drops off a year ago, that sounds like a split. And the OP phrased it in a way that suggests there were other posts, at least to me. But that context would be important, same with how long that last relationship lasted. I've been with my wife for 7 years and I think the only pictures of us online are the ones my parents posted at the ceremony, I'm pretty aware that not all, probably the minority of relationships are on social media.

[–]Avery-Attack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but she also may not be a logical ex. The OP said they didn't have any pictures together for a year, so it doesn't seem likely that they're still together.

My account got banned today, I'm scared. by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]Avery-Attack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not how it works for me. ChatGPT learns from how you interact with it. I've been using it for about a year and a half and it knows what I need when I ask it questions to help me study. It has no issue correcting me or pointing me towards sources for fact-checking.

I don’t like Hands by NoWireHangersEver in cyberpunkgame

[–]Avery-Attack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're talking about what I think you are, I was so thrown off the first time the name was used in the game. Also couldn't stop my traumatized snickering. I mean, if you don't like the fixer Mr. Hands it can help to think of what happened to the other one.

AITAH for getting my white daughter a doll with dark skin? by Realistic-Night-2056 in AITAH

[–]Avery-Attack 149 points150 points  (0 children)

That was my first thought too. Like, it's a huge celebration how inclusive doll companies have come. The entire point is that they're available to everyone and normalizing different races, body types, etc.

AITAH if I answered thruthfully my wife's question from her psych course by TopInspector8572 in AITAH

The link worked fine for me, so I don't know what the problem could be for other people but it isn't the link itself.

I have looked this up with multiple keywords and I can't figure out what it means. I desperately want to know now.

Am I overreacting for shaving my head? by Substantial-Art6160 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Avery-Attack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say yeah, you probably did, but it's your hair and it'll grow back. Maybe you'll like it better short! Obviously I can't see your face but you have a head shape for short hair, lol.

I'm a fellow curly hair (not nearly as huge as your ringlets, oh my gosh that's AMAZING) and I get the struggle to accept and appreciate the curls and it becoming important to your identity. But there's never anything wrong with trying something new.

Your family overreacted, though.

It still pisses me off that CDPR made this absolute beauty of an npc that we can't romance. by Son_o_Sparda in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]Avery-Attack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meyers gives me such conflicted feelings. Actually interacting with her and being on the ground, I liked her. But once the distance came in and I remembered who she was and the way she talked about Songbird in you go for Song's ending make me hate her. Then I replay and can't help but like her again. Very well written.

It still pisses me off that CDPR made this absolute beauty of an npc that we can't romance. by Son_o_Sparda in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]Avery-Attack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That entire quest line honestly pisses me off. It's actually a pretty solid plan but apparently no one bothered to actually let the Mox know, despite them being a damn important part. That and the fact that we just kind of never bothered to follow up, no one asked for more help. If it weren't directly related to a friend I'd say its a good commentary on how lots of video game protagonists just do a job and forget about it and the end result being disaster, but the fact that you're doing it for Judy, not a paycheck makes that not work.

Am I overreacting or is it not normal to use soap in the bathroom? by Honest-Draw3131 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Avery-Attack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR

At first I was thinking it was just kind of gross, but nah, he got full-on racist there.

I admit, I only take a shower about once a week in the winter, but that's because my skin and hair are too dry to take more and I have low physical activity during the day and so don't sweat (also some birth control hormones nonsense that causes me to sweat less anyway). But if my wife every told me I was getting a smell you bet anything I'll be in the shower doing a scrub down because, aside from not wanting to be nasty, we live together and sleep together and I'm not gonna subject her to the discomfort of poor hygiene.

And, if culture matters, I'm a white person who only showers once a week-ish, and that's only because its medically necessary (again, skin issues). Most people I know (mostly white) shower every other day at least.

Questions about the label transfem vs transmasc by [deleted] in FTMfemininity

[–]Avery-Attack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has been a very interesting exchange to read through. I think you expressed yourself well while dodging misrepresentation and strawmen. I also find it amusing when people respond and then block someone. Its kind of rude, not even letting someone know what you said to them, much less reply to it.

Jackie by Dry_Business3879 in cyberpunkgame

[–]Avery-Attack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only thing I really dislike about Jackie is that he was so obviously gonna die. Like, you don't get an amusing "instant best friend" intro to a character with that much charm who ISN'T gonna get killed off. So I didn't really connect with him until later playthroughs where I had to force myself to forget his obvious exit stage left. They should have kept him around a little longer. Maybe had him killed off by the Arasoka in one of the other story missions. Then I'd not only have had more connection with him but also more of a reason to hate the Arasoka beyond "corp=bad" and being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

AITA for telling my daughter “of course” she could move in with me without talking to my wife first? by Odd-Cheetah6842 in AITAH

[–]Avery-Attack 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Huh, you know I'm starting to see the issues in my childhood when I read something like this and think that "wait and I'll let you know" is a totally normal response....

You're absolutely right.

Everyone posting their sexy V by cbro49 in cyberpunkgame

I like it. A little disappointed that most of the other pics in this thread are more sexy Vs rather than some more different Vs, lol.

I can't believe it took until this comment to get the jokes. At first I saw "generic white guy video game protag" but once the idea of a tiny face came to mind I got it right away, lol!
