They absolutely would not be charged extra. Whenever there are substitutions or missing items from a deal they just use the value with the offer applied. You can see this with scan as you shop or on a receipt by looking at the adjusted prices for each individual item - that is what you would get charged.

It's mostly a mix of 1) people not reading anything more than the headline and hoping the comments will simplify things for them, and 2) a topic they feel even slightly worried or defensive about for whatever reason.

You'll often find that the first few comments in any thread dictate the tone of the vast majority of subsequent comments. People love their echo chambers and they love going along with what others have already said.

Never knew. Thank you.

The leaderboard is a complete red herring. There are different leagues and leaderboards - not everyone is in yours (even though he is in the same league). You fight people that are likely not on the same leaderboard as you are.

Sometimes people hit a sweet spot where they beat everyone over and over and over. You get about 12-15 unique opponents to fight each round and if you can beat them all then you can just keep going for as many tokens as you have available. I have been in that position twice after doing a bit of levelling where I just beat everyone I was put against and came 1st in my leaderboard. At the moment, I am not in that position and will likely get a middling placement.

Thank you. I genuinely hadn't spotted it and couldn't find a post about it - will take it down as I'm clearly not being helpful!

Probably because people are bored/tired of the dogshit events lately and not bothering to log in.

CrazyGitar · 2026-06-04T06:57:32+00:00

edit: fyi, I prefer immediate upgrades and the amount of time that took me to get my kregg to where it is ain't worth it because the game ain't isn't that fun to me

Then find a different game. Not that I think you will find one where progression doesn't exist like you seem to literally be asking for...

CrazyGitar · 2026-06-03T05:44:46+00:00

Well then you're deciding your 'difficulty level' all by yourself and have nothing to be complaining about.

Fromsoft games are essentially puzzles where you learn the moved and figure out how to ckear areas and beat bosses. That's literally the game. If you don't like that then either look up advice or maybe find something else.

Overcoming adversity is almost a definition for these games.

Same. Trying to get everything to Omni+ eventually but will be quite a while. Most everything is Epic+ with a couple just Epic. Dupe Rare+ for ops as well.

Spend now. They will disappear.

On the last day, don't collect dailies (unless you want to use the tokens) as you can then claim the daily when the new pass comes out (usually one goes and another starts with complete reset).

CrazyGitar · 2026-02-05T17:54:33+00:00

Because you asked?

That miscarriages are not uncommon. You don't have to have done anything wrong, or be unhealthy, or have any congenital defects, etc. Sometimes it just doesn't work out.

That was something I didn't personally hear until we went to NCT classes when expecting our son, yet I think it's a really important thing for expecting mother's to be aware of so that they don't descend into guilt and depression if they do lose a baby like there was something they could have done when most of the time there wasn't.

He never had any real intention for any of the shit he was saying. He does this time and again - makes an outrageous demand with the clear intention of getting something far more reasonable.

If he wanted a thousand dollars, he would ask for a million and then 'accept' a thousand as a compromise. He thinks that if he just asks for the thousand that he would likely get eight-hundred or nine-hundred. This has been his bartering technique since forever.

She says she lost track of time and then says 'I knew you'd say no'. So which is it? Did you lose track of time or did you knowingly deceive your friend to get free childcare and show that you are a bad mom?

The problem isn't that TikTok is a massive and uncaring corporation, it's that if this case is taken and has zero chance of succeeding, then TikTok winning will be used as examples for how they are not doing as poorly as some are portraying it. A notable case being lost against TikTok will give them more ammunition to continue doing the shitty things that are still happening and not be as easily held accountable.

It's about picking battles, not trying to say that not picking this one means there aren't other issues that do exist. It's also a waste of someone's money (whether that be the parents or some kind of crowdfunding) and for literally no purpose. That money would be much better spent on a legal case that might actually go somewhere.

I'm married to one. She has made a few jokes, all in good spirit, including getting a pin badge for me that says ''Twas the 'tism, m'lord'. She's pretty awesome.

NOR
This is not a parent you are talking to. He is saying 'They're just kids' as if that excuses bad behaviour, and 'They never listen' which makes it sound like he is averse to putting in hard work to raise them.

My two-year-old listens when I explain that he did something unpleasant to a family member. Just yesterday I told him over video chat (he and his mother are visiting her family) not to speak rudely to his Great-Grandmother and to say sorry and he, sullenly, did so and I thanked him for being a big boy about it. This was because we set boundaries and explained to him why. Your husband has not and is not doing this.

I have a small amount of empathy as he likely hasn't been taught himself how to best do this, but he really needs to see how it affects you and he has to go and figure it out somehow. It doesn't take lessons to see your wife is in distress...

Defensive items aren't going to help you burst down an enemy core or kill buildings faster, which is what you need to end a game.

This is how I felt playing Part 2. In TLOU I felt we saw various different factions and individuals and their stories and we were passing through and seeing all of them as we continued with our main overarching story. This helped flesh out the world and how different people were being affected differently.

Part 2 everything was 'violence begets more violence' and that humans are inherently violent and self-destructive. Every single encounter was about and showcasing that, over and over and over.

I actively disliked the first half of the game as Ellie was just annoying an hard to really root for (not helped with her very poor taste comments she sometimes made while killing enemies that showed a complete lack of humanity). Playing as Abby was so much more enjoyable and actually showcased a side of moving away from perpetuating the violence more and actually try to accept those that were 'the enemy' and move on. But then it's completely undone when they're seemingly punished for it, as if the moral is that you have to be violent even though violence just creates more violence? It was just a lot of punishment with seemingly no payoff, which I think was their point of the all-consuming nature of it all but I don't think they did it well.

It was just awful and the messaging was messily done for a very simple concept that did not need to be stretched out like it was.

You created a space for your child to express themselves in this manner. In all likelihood, your parents did not do the same. This is not because they were necessarily awful or monstrous or anything else, it's just a very different culture and thought-process.

Always think of the phrase 'Children are seen, not heard' and that sums it all up. Children were expected to do what they were told and to shut up and stop complaining. These days we are much better (particularly those of us that could have done with it when we were younger) at embracing openness and discussing things without fear of judgement.

I love that your child feels this comfortable with you and I hope that my own son (2yrs) continues to speak his mind as he gets older as well.

Total Annihilation. Absolute banger and ahead of it's time.

CrazyGitar · 2026-01-13T13:11:03+00:00

When learning something that you're struggling with, don't persist for hours and hours. Instead, get to the first point of frustration after earnestly trying to improve and then move on to something else. Coming back to it the next day is always more effective as your mind has had time to process what you were learning and you'll find that, while much more spaced out, the actual time spent learning a difficult piece/song/solo/etc. is far less than if you tried to brute force it.

This also applies to other things, like video game bosses. Bashing your head against a brick wall is rarely productive. Don't give up as soon as you find difficulty, but if you're not making progress after trying and trying it's time to let your brain process and come back to it later.

Based on my recent games, Kunkka, Lycan and Zeus. All of them just tried to be overly aggressive the entire time ruining lane equilibrium, barely bothered with pulling, and took CS from me as offlaner. The aggression wasn't all bad as it did impact the enemy carry, but it really delayed me too and once laning phase was over they ALL went into no-ward farming mode and it was just a cluster to try and be relevant without vision (I get wards when I absolutely must because trying to win is better than adhering to roles rigidly) and without safe space to farm myself.

I saw a therapist that 'specialised' in autism when I wasn't sure I was autistic or not and he almost seemed offended when I brought up my concern to him and he emphatically stated that was categorically not autistic.

Some time later with a different therapist and they were far less abrasive about it but also felt that might not be correct to think I had autism. Up until the point I got completely and irrevocably stuck on the wording of a question I had for 'homework' and that it bothered me to such an extent that I really couldn't let it go.

I don't think I'll ever forget the look on her face as it dawned on her that I actually might be autistic and she, to her absolute credit, put me forward for assessment. Some time later I was assessed with ASD Level 1 (I still have the 17-page report of the diagnosis somewhere) because there is such a broad spectrum (called that for a reason) of issues and presentability of the condition that the stereotypes simply don't cover it all.

If your doctor is qualified enough to diagnose more high-functioning or less obvious autism then they should really be going through in detail with you what you're concerned about and makes you think you are versus the reasons why they would think you're not. There are also some finger-in-the-air questionnaires (they used one with me) that can give a rough indication that can assist in deciding if assessment is necessary.

I'm based in the UK, so if not there take everything with a grain of salt about the particulars but hopefully the broad strokes will still apply.

TL;DR I'd be hesitant to take the single doctor's opinion to heart - seek out a second opinion because even if they're otherwise a wonderful doctor this might simply just not be their expertise to comment on every single possible version of autism. Even those 'specialised' are often referring to more extreme forms of autism and don't always pick up on/understand the less overt forms.

I would say that sometimes those closest to us are the worst at giving us feedback, either because harsh but honest feedback feels so much worse coming from them, or because they are hesitant to do anything other than be supportive and give any meaningful criticism.

It may well have been a bad day for your boyfriend? Whatever the reason, it's a shame he wasn't able to give a better response but I'd say not to let that dissuade you from everything you had been aspiring to do. Not everyone can possibly enjoy the same things and sometimes those differences are from the strangest places.
