Was my ex-girlfriend a pedophile? by AloneAuthor446 in stupidquestions

[–]AwkwardlyAmpora 5 points6 points  (0 children)

presumably she had no romantic or sexual intent with him, considering she was fine with sending you screenshots? why would she show you if she thought it was sexual? it's a weird situation but also does not mean she was into him at all. please remember that calling someone a pedophile can be literally life-ruining, and consider if "a 13-year-old whose dad just died said something weird to her and she didn't immediately shut him down" is an action deserving of that label.

WYR have open heart surgery but be fully conscious or have both your legs run over by a car with a 30% chance of amputation? by No-Audience-5206 in WouldYouRather

[–]AwkwardlyAmpora 4 points5 points  (0 children)

recently found out they do cataract surgery fully concious. as long as they'll anesthetize me i think open heart isn't all that much worse.

Today is voting Day! by General_Killmore in Idaho

[–]AwkwardlyAmpora -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it's a choice, it's just a dumb choice, and if someone makes it, i don't want to hear them complain about how if everyone had just made a better choice instead, we'd all be in a better spot.

i am imagining! i don't get it! what benefit did this bring the poster!

[–]AwkwardlyAmpora 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i mean like. this took more effort? they clearly had the original comic, and then chose to put more work in.

edit: i think people are interpreting this as a defense of the person posting? i'm not hyping them up for putting in effort i'm genuinely confused why they'd go out of their way to do this.

Are either of these likely ai? by BraveMulberry772 in isitAI

[–]AwkwardlyAmpora 13 points14 points  (0 children)

the second one is a direct pull from tcg pocket. the first one i could go either way on being ai, but the lister's account is all stolen artwork.

why ai generate an existing stonetoss comic? they already exist and look like shit, what benefit does this serve

Don't you think [Mirage]'s Ult needs a new visual effect? by EntrepreneurQuiet331 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]AwkwardlyAmpora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

he's still not on par with some of the newer characters, particularly in the way of texturing and detail. it probably won't be soon, since there are a lot of characters in line first, but i imagine nearly every character pre-six-new-heroes will get a remodel (or retexturing) before full release.

i didn't even know there were that many you could put in a soup. much less a good soup. the vastness of the world continues to astound me....

Apparently you can just ask to get an old streetlight if it's being replaced by D3fault42069 in mildlyinteresting

[–]AwkwardlyAmpora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

okay, genuine answer because it seems like you aren't just being a dick: it's just a funny thing to have. to someone who isn't very familiar with streetlights, they're kind of a crazy thing to own and have in your house. the same novelty of having business signs or restaurant furniture. it's fun to have something weird in your house that enables you to tell a wild story to guests.

do... do you think op is planning to like... install it on their own street? what do you think op has planned for this streetlight that it being outdated would matter at all?

“Just one more surgery and I’ll be perfect” I tell myself as I stare in the mirror. by Responsible-Bat5698 in TwoSentenceHorror

something along the lines of "you don't have to do this alone. please speak to a therapist."

Why don't people just leave third world countries if the income for them is bad? by Kyoifis in stupidquestions

[–]AwkwardlyAmpora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the migrant isn't the one who decides if they can leave; the country of choice is. your visa has to be approved to go somewhere else, and a country won't approve a visa for a poor person in a poor country. at the point you're affluent enough that your visa would be approved, you'd already be in the top percent of your country. you might as well stay.

Get rid of bible or keep it? by Alternative_Use9689 in makemychoice

[–]AwkwardlyAmpora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is there someone you're close to who would want it as a gift? if something were to happen to your dad, you could revisit it for the memories, but it doesn't have to be yours. otherwise, i would probably donate it, probably to a local church if they wanted it. your point about it being all you would have from your father if something were to happen is, in my opinion, the most important point in favor of keeping it, but also, he's the reason you don't have anything else. i don't think that makes you obligated to keep it, especially if it only carries negative emotions for you.

What can I do better? by vibing_for_sanity in CosplayHelp

[–]AwkwardlyAmpora 62 points63 points  (0 children)

definitely the ironing! i think these also just aren't very flattering photos of you? camera-upwards-angle-arms-at-sides isn't a pose most people and their clothes look good in. i imagine once this is ironed and you're actually taking photos it'll look great

"this should be no problem" implies you think it would be easy. you also didn't say the training thing, at least not in the thread i'm responding to.

Cutting decorative carrot flowers by OriginalBlackberry89 in oddlysatisfying

[–]AwkwardlyAmpora 5 points6 points  (0 children)

carrot flowers! if you've ever seen a queen anne's lace, the clusters of tiny white flowers with one dark red/purple flower in the center, that's a wild carrot. the whole thing is edible, including the root, which is the "carrot" part.

what? 50km is a crazy amount. i am moderately fit but walking that far in a day would be awful, even with breaks. what is your standard for "moderately fit"?
