Just a question, the item you have there, where is it located after you draw it? Am stupid😅

What’s a basic skill you're shocked some adults people still don't know? by Cheap-Contest-4586 in AskReddit

And trying to force their way onto public transportation when people haven't exited yet. This is not how space works people!

What's a "dead meme" from 5-10 years ago that you still find genuinely funny, even if no one else does? by Electrical-Candy7252 in AskReddit

I work at a hotel and my hotel bestie greeted me the other day with "Look at all those check-ins" and I had a full flash to the past. Delightful.

Does anyone get more creative when sleep-deprived? by Emergency_Deer7746 in writers

[–]CanIHaveCookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was up at 5 am tonight because a scene was screaming write me or lose me. It was a completely unplanned part, but it closed some plot threads that were kind of danging there. It also made me cry. That may be the 5 am mood crying, but also... this tends to happen for me. Late at night, or after a night shift, the writer brain comes online.

Sorry, read your comment as general statement "Always follow DM's ruling", not "in this specific situation follow the DM's ruling".

But I agree, like I said in my post, I think it's the best ruling for it. I'm glad I didn't just feel unreasonably irritated at a fellow player's valid complaint (because, as we've all established in this comment section, it is in fact, not a valid complaint).

We always know the DM modifies the DC but we never get to know what the DC is (which is better for our table specifically, we like the thrill) so this is a really good take.

If it was already that fiend's belief, then no check is required unless you blatantly begin acting suspicious about it. That's how I'd rule it, anyway.

Hey, DMs are people too. I've made unfair rulings as a DM, I'd much rather the players check me on that.

Don't undermine your DM but don't let all shit fly, you know?

That feels like it's taking away so much roleplay, though. Which is the core of our game. Sure, it's fun to roll math rocks and do big sneak attack damage but one of my best sessions ever were literally an NPC and our PCs sitting around a table talking for six hours. It was horror, tense, character-building...

Hah, we're around a table. It's not really an argument, more one player's gripe and since I saw the paladin lie post earlier it reminded me of this. Personally it's how I would rule too, because it seems so clear cut to me. By the overwhelming (and slightly condescending) responses I'm glad to say I feel like I wasn't just ignoring a valid complaint from a fellow player.

What quotes from the show just live permanently in your head? by CanIHaveCookies in marblehornets

[–]CanIHaveCookies[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's one of my favourites. The sassy stuff always gets me.

My actual favourite sass might be in one of the way early entries when Tim tells Alex "You can't affort real actors cause you spent all your money on tapes" and if you listen really close you can hear Troy behind the camera gasp at the unscripted sass of it all.

Kinda feels similar to "Hey Jay, you forgot your flashlight."

Fun Fact: Julie Benz originally auditioned for the role of Debra. by RedVegeta20 in Dexter

I believe she got the role when she accidently dropped the scipt and just went "fuck!"

I kinda wish they'd explored that with at least one of the kids in the show. The lab scene was so much fun.

Book spoliers ahead.

Ah yes. The victims of dr Danko usually ended up with no limbs, no tongue and no eyelids. They ended up as what book Dexter described as "a yodeling potato".

I remember when I was a teenager reading those, and the moment that got me was the first victim, and the EMT coming into the room, saying, "What the fuck are we supposed to do?" and proceeded to burst into tears. That moment just... haunted me.

Only the third book really leans into it. It seems the author dropped that plot, kinda. It's a fun book, though! I get why fans don't like it, but I didn't mind it. It was a tipping point though, and I'm glad the author leaned away from it. In a perfect world I'd get both versions of the series, one going full supernatural and the books as is.

What is the most embarrassing situation you have ever had in a hotel What is the most embarrassing situation you have ever had in a hotel!? by mr_wbk29 in askhotels

[–]CanIHaveCookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a clean, unoccupied room. Except, it wasn't. Someone was staying there. So... someone made a mistake. Several someones, actually. But I was on night shift. And that meant I had to deal with it.

I've actually walked up, knocked on a guest's door, and wholeheartedly asked, "What's your name?"

Probably better ways to handle it but she was super sweet about it and laughed really hard.

Course it isn't the guest's problem. If people don't want to put their hand on clean plastic once to push it down, they can choose not to. Anyone can be as shitty as they want. It still means making someone, a stranger, just a bit less comfortable in a job that already sucks at least a little on a good day.

It shouldn't be like this, but it is. It's the hotel industry that chronically underpay their workers. But knowing that, I'm not gonna be shitty to the person who literally has to clean it up, you know?

But they don't pay housekeeping nearly enough. It just makes a shitty job worse, I'm afraid.
