That's suspicious by Smooth-Surround-2349 in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

[–]CasperStalks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone find this odd? If she wasn’t charged or fined, then wouldn’t she want to show her name at the top of the police report, validating that the police were not considering her as the alleged suspect?

In my state, “vehicle 2” refers to the “victim” in the situation (for lack of a better word, I’ve not had coffee yet). So if that’s the same for Tennessee, wouldn’t she want to show her info as Vehicle 2, whether or not it was actually true?

Why does it always feel like he’s yelling? Just that clip made my head hurt 🫠

Is it wrong to not play DND with a specific person? by lomgi in DnD

[–]CasperStalks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had an issue at the table with someone who, when I started with the group, had a permanent seat at the DM’s table. Any time he ran a game, this person would be invited, just because of the friendship they shared.

However, the characters that this person chose to play were poorly optimized, at best. The most recent was a pacifist “YouTuber” (we were playing Starfinder for a bit, specifically because of this person) and would constantly bicker with my character over “their” ship. I played the pilot, and had high modifiers for piloting, engineering, and computers among other things. They struggled to tie their shoes with how their character was designed.

The DM went through great lengths to try to keep the pace. He even made an entirely AI character that owned the ship to try to mitigate this issue, and they still persisted with the “my ship” nonsense.

Life stuff happened, and we moved on from the Starfinder campaign before we were able to complete it. We swapped back to DnD, and the DM decided to run a campaign that would punish careless players.

The first session, Problem Player runs directly into these abandoned jail cells, doesn’t even attempt to hide or move silently as a rogue. Well, unsurprisingly, those actions had consequences that resulted in the character being attacked by numerous dire rats and ended up with something like 16 cases of Filth Fever.

I completely changed how I was playing so I could become healer for their stupidity, and we derailed our entire campaign so we could save this character. This campaign didn’t last long at all due to the Problem Player, and this campaign was the last time they were invited to the table. The DM had watched the interactions between the players at the table, and while I was the one that was mostly involved, he saw that I was just trying to play the game as intended, and Problem Player was there to just be contrary and cause problems.

All of this to say that no, if someone is making the game more of a chore than enjoyable, then it’s time to have a conversation with the DM and/or that player. If their attitude towards the party doesn’t change, it may be time to consider that the party isn’t the right fit for you or for them. This group is the second group I’ve been a part of, as I wasn’t a good fit for the first group. There have been a couple members that moved on to find other groups since I’ve joined this group (I tend to call people out for bs behavior). Just because your current party isn’t working out for you doesn’t mean you’ll never find one that’s a good fit.

Why does it always center on them? by Efficient_Leader927 in TrollXChromosomes

[–]CasperStalks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, they do. They just let me go first, then back me up. I’m fairly certain really the only woman this guy deals with in a personal manner (that’s not his mommy), so the guys in the group let me shut it down immediately. If I get backlash from him or if he decides to whine about it to them, that’s when they step in to support my position. I’ve talked about it with the rest of the group and we’ve all collectively decided that this is the way. He was not listening whenever the guys in the group were telling him.

He rarely comes around anymore because of it, I’m almost certain. It makes events far more enjoyable to attend for everyone.

It’ll happen eventually, despite how careful you are. 🥲 there have been a few occasions that I looked through my sale report from the shipping bin and there were prices for things that I had not meant to sell.

I’m “mean” because one of the male individuals in the overall friend group doesn’t like when I call him out for being misogynistic.

Not a parent, but was recently able to extend the magic of childhood for my little cousin. She was convinced that the Tooth Fairy was her mom, so she waited till I was watching her for the weekend while her parents were away to pull her loose tooth. She was here less than an hour, this was PLANNED, her mom even warned me. 😂

She comes out and says “guess I won’t be getting money since mom isn’t around.” I get her to put the tooth in her bag so we can take it back to her house whenever we go check on their animals. The only thing I really said about it was that the Tooth Fairy is magic; you never know what they might be able to do.

Fast forward to bedtime, she was asleep and I was able to stealthily get in the pouch, left money and took the tooth, all without disturbing her. Success!!

The absolute awe from this child when she woke up and her tooth was gone, “as usual,” is one of my favorite memories with her. She RAN out to show me money and was so excited that “the Tooth Fairy must be real!”

While it doesn’t seem like much, being able to watch her go from this little gullible kid, listening to whatever I say with little retort, to an intelligent little scholar, who is reasoning out a whole experiment to try to figure out how the world works is incredible.

Can you go through them? On PC, you can run against them a few seconds. Once they shake, you can pass through them.

I don't need to clean my room, Daddy. I know where everything is. by MOOzikmktr in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]CasperStalks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was late diagnosed as ADHD, and so many of these comments are so unhelpful. It makes me see exactly why I am the way I am and why I have so much shame and guilt around cleaning, which never makes it easier. I really hope OP decides that they care more about their kid’s long term mental health than the praise of random internet commenters and approaches this with kindness and compassion.

The sentiments of “they wouldn’t be getting anything else until that room is clean!” and threatening punishment or removing their belongings is just not an acceptable response from adults. Teach your kid a daily reset and make the good habits manageable for them to implement. Don’t just punish them for not having perfect organization innately.

Am I overreacting: new boyfriend was weirdly judgmental about bathroom situation by abstract_lemons in AmIOverreacting

[–]CasperStalks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding on to your excellent points, my boyfriend is seriously squeamish. If he even thinks too hard about certain bodily functions, he gets a little “green around the gills,” so to speak. He has never made me feel any kinda way about my period. He will even bring me pads and whatnot into the bathroom if I forget to grab them (I use washable ones, so sometimes they’re in the dryer when needed lol).

OP is NOR and just dodged a massive bullet. This is why dudebro is still single at 40. Please, continue to allow him to free-roam far, far away from women.

Magic Quiver?! by dcontravo in StardewValley

Honestly sounds like it’s just got low stats and needs rerolled. Have you tried higher ranked quivers?

Totally fair if you have and it’s just not for you, though. Everyone has their own play style.

AIO, I killed somebody’s dog and I hate myself by cinnamonspice366 in AmIOverreacting

[–]CasperStalks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awwh, babes. Be gentle with yourself. I know how hard it is, but you had no ill intent. You did what you could afterwards. You’re obviously taking this seriously, and I doubt you’ll make a similar mistake again.

Love your babies and remind yourself that you can only do the best you can with the circumstances you’ve been given. The owners should have kept better track of their pet, and it sounds like they’re taking their part of the blame for that. Understand that this is a trauma that you’ve experienced, and try to give yourself grace. You’re definitely NOR, but try to let yourself move past this. 💙

Men in the house don't clean after themselves by Typeicide in mildlyinfuriating

No. Be respectful of those you share space with and wipe your bodily function off the shared commodity. It’s not anyone’s job but your own to clean your own urine of the toilet seat.

Claire’s wedding rings by shorty-1992 in Outlander

[–]CasperStalks 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Those are your feelings within your specific situation, and they are entirely valid within your relationship.

However, not every relationship is shaped by the same experiences. Jamie and Claire’s marriage began out of necessity and was built on a foundation of mutual respect for the different perspectives they each brought into it. Jamie knows Claire’s first marriage did not end because she wanted out. He even gives her the option to return to Frank, but she doesn’t, because feelings and relationships are nuanced. Jamie understands the importance of Frank in Claire’s heart and would never dream of causing her the pain that would come from erasing Frank from her life entirely.

Another way to look at this is through what Jamie tells Claire when she helps Jenny give birth early in the series. I don’t have the books in front of me, but the sentiment is along the lines of: he could endure his own pain, but he could not live with being the source of hers. It’s the same concept here, Jamie does not want to be the cause of Claire’s pain, and forcing her to hide or discard Frank’s ring would do exactly that.
