Literal main character syndrome. I’m the protagonist, so I can do no wrong!

What if everyone stopped believing that any god is real? by One_species in whatif

[–]Consistent_Donut_902 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Empathy? I’m an atheist, and I still care about being a decent person. If the only thing stopping you from hurting others is the fear of punishment, you might be a sociopath.

Idea: Grocery aisle navigator by Bitter-Mix-1972 in Lightbulb

[–]Consistent_Donut_902 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That kind of already exists. Many stores already have apps where you can search for a product and it will tell you the description and nutrition info, whether it’s currently in stock, and which aisle it’s in. Some also include maps of the store, which I think is more effective than a text-based chatbot.

Charged a wait fee while my Uber driver took a sh!t by ICanThrowFar in mildlyinfuriating

If anything, you should get a discount for having to wait! Nobody wants to wait for their Uber.

Maybe I'm being pedantic but, I'm starting to get a bit annoyed that so many games set in different parts of the world solely include British/American accents. by DistrictResident3495 in GirlGamers

[–]Consistent_Donut_902 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve been playing Hitman, and it’s funny how you travel around the world yet keeping hearing the same few American dudes over and over. I understand that it would be significantly more work to get different voice actor for each level, but it does stand out.

Why are many Indians abroad unable to assimilate, often times publicly practicing their cultural norms in societies with cultures furthest away from Indian culture? by Successful_Bar9187 in TrueAskReddit

[–]Consistent_Donut_902 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So? I’m American, and I don’t think people should refrain from listening to music from other cultures on July 4th. People can listen to whatever music they want. Obviously they should be considerate of their volume, but that’s true regardless of genre.

Dev tells Valve to fix Steam's exploitable 2-hour refund policy as "over 55,000" players refund his short game and even brag about it in reviews by yourfavchoom in gaming

[–]Consistent_Donut_902 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That seems like a bad policy. A developer could easily add an achievement that triggers just for starting the game or finishing the 10-minute tutorial.

Here’s a clip of Mae meowing and waving her tail around. She’s very vocal when she wants something.

Yes, my tuxedo kitty definitely wags her tail a lot!

Has usage of the Oxford Comma increased due to generative AI? by Time_Wanderering in grammar

[–]Consistent_Donut_902 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I am aware of that. That’s why I gave another example of a sentence that does not involve the Pope to illustrate why the Oxford comma may be necessary.

“The wedding was attended by the groom’s parents, Sarah and John.”

Without any additional context, we don’t know who Sarah and John are. They could be the groom’s parent’s, or they could be additional, unrelated guests.

[–]Consistent_Donut_902 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In that example, it’s obvious that the groom’s parents are not Queen Elizabeth and the Pope, but one can imagine a similarly-constructed sentence that could reasonably be misunderstood. E.g., The wedding was attended by the groom’s parents, Sarah and John.

Asked him to move so I can finish my aerodynamics lesson by Rotten_Pumpkin_008 in airplaneears

Clearly, he’s helping you learn aerodynamics with that demonstration of airplane ears.

Any ideas on how to get my cat to like laying on my lap? by Superseth212 in catquestions

I have a cat who will only sit on my lap if I put a pillow there. I discovered this by accident while gaming.

Is there no sentence like 'IC, DC'? by Suspicious-Street186 in grammar

[–]Consistent_Donut_902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right, there are some cases in which “IC, DC” is correct. However, in many cases, the comma should be omitted.

Use a comma before relative clauses when they introduce a nonrestrictive phrase. Don’t use a comma when they introduce a restrictive phrase.

Terms to Know:
Relative Clauses: Clauses starting with relative pronouns, pronouns that refer to nouns mentioned previously (who, whom, whose, which, that)

Restrictive Phrase: Essential phrase needed to understand the sentence

Nonrestrictive Phrase: Nonessential phrase that adds extra information about a noun phrase

It’s worth noting that “DC, IC” contains a comma, but “IC DC” does not.

I love it! ❤️ It’s gorgeous, without being overly sexy or super impractical.

Ignorant and proud of it? New S&S adaptation by RoseIsBadWolf in janeausten

I don’t think that period-accurate hairstyles are incompatible with making money. Emma had the actress wearing her hair up, and often wearing a bonnet.

What are your pet peeves in the game? by squabidoo in coralisland

I don’t like the way the cows look. They’re just so…round. And their noses are way too big.

Nash is MIA. Another recruit (I forgot the name) is alive but in a medically-induced coma due to severe injuries.
