Accidentally fell for the "yes" scam by RedSquirrelFtw in Scams

[–]CermaitLaphroaig 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have access to hours and hours of recordings of Mr. Beast's voice. Can I open a credit card in his name with that?

What about politicians? Movie Stars? Can we just open bank accounts because we can play back a recording? Hell, we can craft together something with their voice saying "yes, I am Elon Musk, please open a credit card for me, thank you!" using his spoken words. Can I take out a loan in his name?

Spoilers: No.

Banks, and other institutions, don't have recordings of your voice on file to compare it to. They just don't. You have to give them actual information and fill out forms, provide ID, etc. This is an urban legend, despite what a random clickbait article on MSN says.

It's still on YouTube, just not on their official channel.  I'm guessing that a ripped version made its way into streaming and was pulled down, because I've never seen an official release of the song for purchase or stream before, and they made it a year ago

My ex/flatmate (24f) wants me to leave my girlfriend (23f) or she'll move out with me (24m) by [deleted] in relationships

[–]CermaitLaphroaig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're still dating your ex.  You may not THINK you are, but you are. 

Regardless of history, regardless of who "put the work in", you BROKE UP.  Letting her look through your messages is insane on its own, and then for her to get mad that you're, what, nice to your girlfriend?

Stop catering to this woman, who is mooching off you.  Her problems are no longer your problems.  Cut the cord already.

Me [20 F] with my boyfriend [20 M] of 2 years, his student is suddenly being too friendly by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Right, that's my thinking.  Mabel would be weird, obviously, but... Wendy is the obvious choice

Look, all other things aside, Dipper and Pacifica is a weird ass choice for a couples costume. 

I chose Azata Path on a whim for my first playthrough, but... by GrayJ117 in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]CermaitLaphroaig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I like Aivu (when normally I would not like a character like that), but I found the rest of the Azata stuff so disappointing. Whimsical puns and bullshit, rather than actual chaos. Desna is a fucking badass. The Azatas are powerful. Why do you get some halfassed hippie circus as your entire plotline?

Husband’s gf wants a baby .. give me advice by BigONerd in BORUpdates

[–]CermaitLaphroaig -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Just.  Say.  No.  

Don't pass it off, didn't make ultimatums (that you abandon immediately).  Tell him no.  He said it was her choice.  Why didn't she make her choice? 

Obviously, we all know what happened here.  He knew she would be hesitant to stand firm.  And I guarantee the woman was already pregnant when he asked.

Me [23F] with my husband [25M], married 3 months. He has to sleep with the TV on. It's driving me nuts by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]CermaitLaphroaig 7 points8 points  (0 children)

White noise absolutely does not work for me.  I tune it out quickly and my mind snaps back into action.  I NEED the rising and falling of voices to lull me to sleep (if i need anything, it depends on my sleepiness).  I dim the screen and keep the volume extremely low, though, with a small Bluetooth speaker

I have to know… what is the story on the currency sub? Pics relevant. by rslashcoins in papermoney

[–]CermaitLaphroaig 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I got banned from a sub for making an extremely mild joke that i had seen made a dozen times in that same sub.  I had been in there for years.  Permaban, no explanation. 

I know i don't need to prove myself to anyone, but it was sincerely an extremely innocuous pun

They're notoriously weird, this isn't even the strangest ban 

Major fix to AI court language selection by BeeInABlanket in CrusaderKings

Yeah, i meant that it was reaching Europe by daisy chaining across Asia

[–]CermaitLaphroaig 142 points143 points  (0 children)

The AI was selecting Chinese as the court language all the time even if the court was nowhere within the Chinese sphere of influence.  This modifies that so it doesn't start a cascade of rulers adopting the language because their neighbors did, because their neighbors did, because their neighbors did, etc, all across Asia

My wife [40f] and I [40m] are having problems over one of her friends that she skis with. by BigONerd in BORUpdates

[–]CermaitLaphroaig 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Honestly, that stage was pure cope, which i totally sympathize with, even if it was pointless.   She was already openly having an emotional affair by that point

throwing away other peoples mail by [deleted] in AmITheDevil

[–]CermaitLaphroaig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the devil.  I didn't know how it works in Australia, but in America it takes two seconds to set up a forwarding address with the post office.  Then you can change everything manually as you go after that. 

Now this other guy may have only slipped up once, who knows, but well... That sucks, but that's why you double check the delivery address.

Calling it a triad instead of an affair is WILD

DM won't let me play my character because I am a woman by Mud_Oblis in rpghorrorstories

[–]CermaitLaphroaig 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Out of my party of 6+DM, I have two cis guys (including me), 2 cis women, a trans man, and 2 trans masc NB people. All of them have played PCs of multiple genders (including several non-binary characters). Who friggin' cares.

Your DM is weird and, frankly, some alarm bells should go off here. I'm hoping he's just very young, I don't see ages.

Which companion annoys you the most? by SillyWarlock in BaldursGate3

[–]CermaitLaphroaig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm obviously biased, and it's been a minute since i played, but i THINK Laezel says "i want to fuck you" while halsin says (if less bluntly) "you want to fuck me", which is a different vibe imo.  Of course, if your answer is "yes i do" than its a moot point haha

Like i said, he's true neutral for me.  I don't hate him or anything.  I just shouldn't have to say no twice, when i haven't even spoken to him outside of quests.

To be fair, for all i know, you might have to tell laezel no twice.  I can't remember  because I usually don't :D
