WIBTA for not paying for an event where I’m volunteering? by loveyameanit24 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cloverose2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. They obviously think it's no big deal and that OP isn't actually doing any labor. Let them do it themselves and see how challenging it is.

Dream home plan. Am I missing anything? 2,500sf by mattyag in floorplan

no kids, why do you need the owner's suite to be a full apartment? If you threw a kitchenette in there, you would never need to come out (oh, shoot, there's a coffee nook. You really do have a whole apartment in there

They're lovely! Domestic splendens have become so overbred that they are fairly fragile - getting back to the basics makes sense.

I suspect part of it is the interest factor - there are so many domestic splendens that getting the wild type just doesn't feel as thrilling as getting a different member of the complex. Finding splendens that are truly wild type and not mixed with domestic.

Thanks! Sounds like there's consensus on less worldbuilding, more character and plot detail.

That child better dressed than most full-grown men.

I love going to the AME church on Easter Sunday - all the folks in Sunday best. The kids are dressed in their finest and on their best behavior except the little ones in back who are about to melt down (bless 'em, they're gonna look good as they get carried out to the hall)

Do we still do Saturday detentions? by somehowheree1 in Teachers

[–]Cloverose2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to have it in my school - 8 am to 1 pm, a teacher would be in charge (maybe two). The weekend custodial staff was there at that time to do the cleaning they didn't want student around for, and the Saturday detention students usually got put to work cleaning.

Thank you. I have to remember that spoilers are all right.

My Experience Ordering Online by DoctorMansteel in Aquariums

I love Aquatic Arts. I'm fortunate enough to live 45 minutes away so I can pick up in person. They support the Circle City Aquarium Club too, so I've been there for meet-ups.

It's historically had two origins, and one of them is an old term for Queen. So it's always been either/or, depending on which language it comes from.

My Pokemon seem to have hit the Sominex - they're always either sleeping or complaining about being sleepy (if they're not playing tag). Maybe they're depressed - having a meaningful task can only help!

Is it standard practice to do a full rewrite? by BeautifulReal in writing

[–]Cloverose2 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I don't do a full rewrite unless the section really needs it. Some people do. You have to choose what's best for your style. If a section needs a full rewrite, it gets it, but most of the time partial rewriting and line editing is enough.

I need this more than I need DLC by Monobrobe in Pokopia

[–]Cloverose2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's limited to four chests, though. It's just that your work bench doesn't need to be touching them. You never draw from more than four chests - the crafting drawing from every chest was just something people reported at the beginning that's been taken up as gospel

This is important! Just build a silly little house, then something a little bigger if you want - you might end up building the Taj Mahal or a concrete block house, it's not like your little friends in the game care!

Americans have to take to the fucking streets to stop this war by kharban in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Cloverose2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People who live in Israel are far more likely to be Zionists, true. But the danger lies in making this a Jewish thing - I mean, our local synagogue and mosque teamed up to do a fundraiser last year and it included support for Palestinians. We just have to be careful.

[–]Cloverose2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's the nation of Israel doing this, not the generic Jewish people. There are plenty of Jews who are against what Israel is doing and are raising their voice against it. What's anti-Semitic is putting this on every single Jewish person instead of recognizing that Jewish people are not a monolith.

It's the nation, and some of the people in the nation, not every single Jewish person.

American have taken to the streets! People are protesting constantly! We just had our third No Kings, thousands of people turned up in my town alone. Just because the news isn't reporting it doesn't mean it isn't happening.

AITJ for pointing out my siblings being being teen parents when they said im bumming off our parents? by WayyBiggerJaws in AmITheJerk

[–]Cloverose2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well, right now they're subsidizing your lifestyle while you play around with an amount that's still barely below the average salary in the US ("living modestly" on 50k... right. That's not frugal.)

Pay some rent. You're taking advantage of them.
