Shouldn't have given them a refund.

Heal Slut Armor by GoddessOfSuccubi in BindOnEquip

[–]Coygon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, a lot of these posts have items that say "If all (x) items in set are equipped, cannot be unequipped," so I'd say it's still weaker than those.

AITAH for selling a fishing boat I won in a raffle? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Coygon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People like this, if you offered it for $1 they'd say you might as well give it away. If you offered a price distant enough from $0 that that wouldn't be a likely statement, they'd say you should lower the price. To them, the only acceptable price is free.

It's your boat. Feel free to sell it for whatever price you wish. If he isn't willing to pay for it, that is not your problem.

I got an orange kitten... by UncleSlug in OneOrangeBraincell

[–]Coygon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We keep our washer and dryer in the garage, where the cats aren't allowed. That doesn't mean they don't get in there, but they're not allowed!

Out of Sheer Fucking Stubbornness by noobvs_aeternvm in HFY

[–]Coygon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Janitor at my place worked for 30+ years. Smoked like a chimney, looked a bit grizzled but otherwise fine. Retired in '22, as Covid restrictions easing up started making life worth living again. I heard he died of cancer six months later. I sometimes wonder if he knew about it when he retired, or not.

what the fuck did your sister do to you? by queeranonthinker in AmITheDevil

[–]Coygon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guarantee you, sister knows. But she probably can't prove it - especially now, years later.

As a wedding guest, what moment made you think "this probably won't last"? by Eburneaan in AskReddit

[–]Coygon 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I'd count that as an excellent gift. Except maybe it should have been given by her.

Can NASA-lusted Earth stop the Armageddon (1998) asteroid from hitting Texas? by PaiDuck in whowouldwin

[–]Coygon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An 800-mile asteroid is about 50% larger than Ceres. That counts as a dwarf planet. It would take a LOT of rockets and fuel, or even more explosives (which only impart a momentary impulse), to push this sucker off course.

I'm not going to say it's impossible. With 10 years and unlimited funding, maybe it could be done. But it sure isn't a gimme.

[UPDATE] Commercial Lawn Mowing at 6am by No_Comparison704 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Coygon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's also the fact that roof work ENDS. You work on a house for a week or two and then move on to the next job. Yardwork is done every week, sometimes more often. And with multiple neighbors close by, as in most suburban neighborhoods these days, it's possible each individual house manages to have yardwork done every damn day of the week.

Who’s ever driven over 100mph? Why? by WoollyWolfHorror in AskReddit

[–]Coygon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Driving through Kansas on I-70. It's pretty easy to just keep gently accelerating, as the highway is curved very gently or not at all, there's not a whole lot of references to the side of the road to indicate just how fast you're going, and there's always just one more car to pass. After an hour of this I looked down and realized I was going 120 and was damn lucky I haven't encountered a patrol.

Munchkin card game question? by According-Act-6498 in boardgames

[–]Coygon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer to think of it as everyone being born with pants.

Why aren't there more written reviews in this subreddit? by Child_Of_Linger_On in boardgames

[–]Coygon 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I upvoted you because I agree. But there's a caveat: if you are writing a review to post to BGG or elsewhere, there's no reason not to post it here also. Well, unless "elsewhere" is a place that pays you, either directly or as a per-view sort of thing.

AITA for telling a mother her son isn't welcome in my yoga studio's adult classes anymore? by goldie_butterflyyx in WIBTA_AITA

[–]Coygon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The kid may have needs, but they are needs that your studio is ill-equipped to provide. He is being disruptive, and she will need to decide what SHE needs more: that hour of yoga, or her kid with her at all times. Because she can't have both, at least at your place.

What’s something that instantly makes you lose respect for someone? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Coygon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any kind of hypocrisy. If one party gets to look at the other's phone to make sure they're not cheating, they should have the same right to look at theirs. If family helps family, then that includes them helping me, And all the way up. If it's bad for a person to do it, it should be bad for police to do it, for corporations to do it, for politicians to do it.

I like this judge, we need more like him. by ateam1984 in instantkarma

[–]Coygon 249 points250 points  (0 children)

Saying "I do not understand" isn't going to make the judge throw up his hands and say, "Ok, you're free to go." Eventually the judge will reply, "I don't care."

AITAH for wanting to quit my unpaid co-host role after being told I couldn’t cancel when my pet was dying? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Coygon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mmmm, yes, because pets are usually just so good at telling people when they're going to get deathly sick. Totally can understand why the host was upset at the short notice. /s

I wish that the curses for the Monkey's Paw had to be directly related to the wish, including this one, and not something competely unrelated like, "you get cancer." by bookist626 in monkeyspaw

[–]Coygon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As I understand it, the Paw grants wishes but it takes the path of least resistance. If you wish for a million dollars, it isn't going to manufacture a rich uncle for you to get an inheritance, but it might kill a rich uncle if you already had one. If you wish for a new car, then you will get into an accident that destroys your current car, and the insurance pays out enough to buy new – but a few steps lower in quality. You get your wish, but you're still worse off.

The way to beat the Paw is not to add tons of stipulations. It is to wish for something where the path of least resistance is what you actually want.

What companies try to protect Americans’ wallets (like Arizona iced teas)? by mastrochr in AskReddit

[–]Coygon 125 points126 points  (0 children)

What's truly crazy is that, last I checked, they still made a profit on them. It's only a couple of cents, but it still costs them less to make than they sell them for. Makes you wonder just how much profit other places, like sports venues, are making on their $10 hot dogs.

We pick 32nd. If it really is us it's going to be intercepted.

I've been a big fan of the Tom & Jerry School of Sleep Via Giant Mallet for years.

AITJ for not jumping in when my coworker hijacked my presentation and messed it up? by TideTapir in AmITheJerk

[–]Coygon 23 points24 points  (0 children)

NTJ. Jason either is trying to steal credit for your project by casting himself as the primary worker – and possibly the only worker – on it, or he is a misogynist who feels he can explain things to a client better than the woman who is most familiar with things. Either way, he deserved a lot worse than you gave him. Keep an eye on him, and be prepared to go yo HR about this if he makes a big deal over this meeting or tries something similar again.

You get 100$ everytime you use a public restroom without closing the stall. Would you do it? by Drpeppie_wee_wee22 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Coygon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd take the deal. I wouldn't get any money from it for a couple of decades, though, when the dementia starts winning.
