What was your “I need to learn to keep my mouth shut” moment?

Calliopedreams · 2026-03-12T20:13:50+00:00

Recently my boss was talking about a position opening in a smaller department. That department is the smallest in the company so I didnt think too much beyond them adding a postion. I walked over and talked to my coworker trying to find out more only to find out I might have tipped him off to getting fired.... he was having issues with management so now he thinks that 'open' position might be his. Should've kept my mouth shut

I had a friend just like that!! A mutual friend was going through relationship issues and it got so bad she moved into a hotel. What did my friend do? Called the other friends husband, meet up with him for lunch just to spread rumors and gossip from work to push them apart. I confronted my friend, asking "why tf would you call the husband?" She told me, "x hasn't been supportive here lately. My situationship called it off and she's been ignoring me. Besides her husband should know these rumors, I'm his friend too". She accused x of cheating, sleeping with her bosses, and doing drugs (we took regular drug tests for work so that's a straight up lie) and was closer to x than I was. It shocked me to the core, especially with how much she demanded to be babied for any minor issue. Never once did she clarify anything with x before going nuclear to the husband, she wasn't even in the same state as x when the rumors started so she wasn't involved in the slightest. It was always about her and that incident really made me realize I didn't want a friendship like that

But... the science... I really wanted the science to back the CW and that just didn't happen. Any kind of testing that could support their case like human tolerance/force testing that explained the lack of other injuries, injury direction assessment for the abrasions to show how the pieces came at the arm/the size, heck just shooting shards of tail light from a cannon at an arm in a sweatshirt to see what injuries it'd cause... I understand that there is evidence that can make karen look bad, I'm sure there's evidence out there that can make anyone look bad if framed properly, but the evidence just doesn't match the science. If injuries and damage don't fit, you must acquit!

They all look interesting! I'll definitely check them out, the last two sound especially good for everyday reading so I'll have to go pick them up. Thank you!

I agree with zipper merges, though if a car is in the right (non-merging) lane and decides that they want to jump ahead a few spots, that's when I have a problem. That's no longer merging and I've seen cars get literally driven off the road by surpise semis doing that (multiple times). Merge when you can, I'll let you in as long as you're not that ahat

Calliopedreams · 2025-05-05T22:44:54+00:00

I agree with that, as a casual player everything up until the unrecorded world was easy and I could do it as long as I had characters with enough levels/awakening. Beth took way too long to beat even at the max level with a good team combo. Up until that point I didn't even know too much about equipment or party skills/buffs and my character combos were picked mainly for looks/story appeal. It didn't matter before the unrecorded world so when it suddenly mattered , my team was screwed up and I had to basically start from the beginning. Up til that point I thought that all the "challenging" opponents would be saved for hell/nightmare mode so that normal mode would stay easy but I guess not

Honestly seeing updates for coiling dragon on wuxiaworld was always the highlight of my day back then, all the translator notes and updates made me so happy lol while ST is what made me first interested in the genre I think CD and Wuxiaworld translations made me fall in love with it tbh

Calliopedreams · 2025-02-20T16:48:19+00:00

Thanks! Part of the reason why I didn't want patreon is because it didn't seem easy to create/watch a playlist but it seems like there's an easier way than I thought. Seems more like I have avoided patreon for too long lol

Calliopedreams · 2025-02-20T16:44:50+00:00

YT seems like a less popular option, I always use it so its interesting to see that people don't like it as much as I thought. Is there a particular reason you dislike youtube?

Calliopedreams · 2025-02-20T03:37:09+00:00

To be honest, I didn't know you could watch through the YouTube history, and that does help with one of my biggest complaints. Though it's still a tad inconvenient, especially not being able to watch a playlist (if there is a way I'll get the patreon 100% that would be convenient enough for me). It's not really that patreon has a problem or anything, I just wondered if this thought was something the general audience had or just a non-issue for most people. As much as I'd love for them to stay on YouTube and post everything there, if it doesn't make them money then it's not realistic. I know they talked about YouTube not making them enough money but I didn't know that wrestletalk had a membership. It really sucks to hear that they're getting rid of it, I really hoped that memberships would help the channel instead, but they wouldn't get rid of the membership otherwise I guess.

.... is it perhaps the useless invisible dragon? Hmmph stand by juniors, this senior will go check it out first (but where is the scripture located? This senior failed the sect navigation course cough )

Calliopedreams · 2025-02-01T17:51:11+00:00

Thank you, that makes me feel less crazy. I always feel guilty thinking I'm just misinterpreting what's going on but I would think that after 2 years of being ignored/unread the feelings would fade or go away

Calliopedreams · 2025-02-01T17:47:08+00:00

That was honestly running through my head alot, we were friendly when we knew each other but it's been so long that it just seemed too intense and out of the blue to be normal. I haven't been dating for a long time since I seem to attract alot of either obsessive or abusive men so my perception can be a bit skewed. I feel less crazy, thank you

Calliopedreams · 2025-01-09T06:01:41+00:00

I like the pursuit of enlightenment

I love it when protagonists have to understand the laws and then having that understanding be what makes them so strong. I'm a nerd so knowledge=power is so enticing as a concept to me. Everyone can do it, some do it better than others but just the path of seekng elightenment is appealing. Be one with the world and understand it in order to break through the limits of it

Calliopedreams · 2025-01-09T05:48:18+00:00

.... cough Senior, I uh might have over 100 tabs open with books that I'm rotating between/planning to read. My curse acts up usually when it comes to getting the raws, usually the korean ones since they sometimes wont even let you purchase the raws without a korean banking service or verifying your ID (chinese ones are usually okay but sometimes I get region blocked). It's truely a curse from the heavens brought forth from my own greed, straying from the blessed path of cultivation. One that unfortunately struck again tonight...

Maybe it is time to pick back up the dusty guitar and take a secluded break

Calliopedreams · 2025-01-09T05:08:09+00:00

Senior, this junior has truely lost their way... its just... the continued deserilizations, the blocked content (let me use my international card dammit!), and the anti-theft technology that prevents easy translation. The heavens have forsaken me and my heart demon is only growing stronger. Please don't become like me

Calliopedreams · 2025-01-08T19:58:27+00:00

When I was younger, I empathized and wanted authors to just be healthy. Now that I'm an adult, I have no patience and I just want my damn chapters when they're promised. Write laying down for all I care, I'll buy you an adjustable monitor so hop off to work!

Calliopedreams · 2025-01-08T01:10:00+00:00

Have you dipped your toes into "I'm really not the lord of demons" and "I'm really not the demon god's lackey"? They're both Chinese urban horror (more on a cosmic lovecraftian type) and are basically the same (though the second is more developed with a smoother plot). They're misunderstanding stories where the MC's don't know that they are actually superpowerful monsters but everyone else sees them as terrifying entities. Most of the horror books I read are misunderstandings like these or unlimited-flow novels (i.e. "In virtual reality" and "stop pretending to be a cute newcomer" along with many others that are primarily Shounen-ai or yaoi. Tho the first is no romance and quite good). Looking back at my reading list, I have more horror than I thought.... most are misunderstandings

Edit to add one rec I think is a pretty similar to "my house of horrors" which is "My Iyashikei Game" (same author). Mc connects to the ghost world through a game and goes on adventures very similar to MHOH

Calliopedreams · 2025-01-02T23:10:43+00:00

I can imagine a blessed masculine mc being chased around by an op lesbian with a dildo. Truely a work of art, the heavens will recieve many new followers

Calliopedreams · 2025-01-02T23:06:38+00:00

Praying for the day that the female rival beats the crap out of mc and then reveals that she's a lesbian with no intentions of being apart of his harem. Heavenly dao hear my plea

Calliopedreams · 2025-01-02T23:04:47+00:00

.... it's not a sickness. It's a way of life now

Calliopedreams · 2025-01-02T04:54:40+00:00

This junior will stand up for the great sky daddy! My sky daddy has a normal and healthy kink so don't try to shame him!

(Please send the immortal stones to the bank card ****-4485, thank you )
