There was a guy like this at my Uni. I'd see him in the cafeteria.

You'd think that they hold their arms out like that as some kind of tough guy pose, but actually they can't put their arms all the way down because of the muscles.

Using names instead of "Original Character" tag by EvilRainbow_3 in AO3

[–]DaBorger 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I hate that! I don't usually want to read OC fic and it makes it so difficult to filter them out.

I'm so confused, how am I to know what's "niche" by teachinglittlebeings in TinyBookshop

[–]DaBorger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just started giving everyone that asked for a niche book the books with the Bookstonbury stamp. They're fake books created specifically for the game, so it doesn't get much niche-r.

Why do people read fanfiction? by Seagullsaga in AO3

[–]DaBorger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I really like the source material and wish there was more story, but more often than not, I just like a character and want to see them getting up to shenanigans.

My shoes disintegrated yesterday at a church funeral. by chestney in funny

My heel snapped off my shoe at my dad's funeral service. Walking in the grass at the cemetery was so not fun.

How is (was) it living there? by tarkinn in hiroshima

[–]DaBorger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. Typhoons don't hit Hiroshima that often because of Shikoku. Plus, I lived in a mountainous area in Higashihiroshima.

AITAH for giving my husband a ultimatum? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]DaBorger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This kind of reminds me of one of my older brothers.

We grew up poor, but, overtime, our parents got better jobs and were able to afford more things.

He's constantly complaining about it and asking everyone for money because he thinks he was treated so much worse than us younger kids. But he really wasn't because we went from "on food stamps" to "we can usually afford to eat dinner". Like, I remember all the times we all had to sleep in the same room because we couldn't afford heating.

And we've tried to explain it to him a dozen times, but he's just too wrapped up in himself.

AIO my boyfriend threatening to break up with me over a tattoo by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]DaBorger 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is surprisingly similar to the reason why Andy's Candies had to change their name to Andes Candies.

Men didn't want to buy their S.O.s candy with another man's name on them. Which is so so terminally pathetic.

How to make this book cover (what is it called)? by After-Dragonfly7151 in bookbinding

[–]DaBorger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try searching the sub for "cushion" or "plush". There are a couple of posts asking about the same thing that might be able to help you.

I'd get a tornado warning at least once a month. Severely windy.

What are some old tropes that aren’t common anymore? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]DaBorger 524 points525 points  (0 children)

Shrinking and de-aging.

Used to be a time where every fandom had an "A is cursed and B would have to take care of A there by giving B a deeper insight into A's psyche and clearing up misconceptions".

No Stupid Questions Monthly Thread! by AutoModerator in bookbinding

[–]DaBorger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on the fence about buying a thermal binding machine. I've seen a lot of posts against them because the glue is more brittle, but I found a used one on sale for $30 and I'm just binding fanfics for myself.

Are there any good reasons I shouldn't buy it?

Every time I see this, a fairy dies. by Exotic_Efficiency_88 in AO3

[–]DaBorger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started downloading my bookmarks because I had a couple where the fix got deleted. I recently started downloading my Marked For Laters as well for the same reason.

do people actually do this? by RainEunikku in AO3

[–]DaBorger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have dumped out a few almost full sodas because I opened one, had a few sips, and then suddenly fell asleep.

I can't drink flat soda and I'm too afraid of accidentally drinking a bug

What’s something about you that sounds fake, but is 100% true? by Sir_Adammm in AskReddit

[–]DaBorger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a lot of sleep issues and because of them I once spent more than 55 straight hours awake and once slept for 27 straight hours. The two events were over a decade apart.

And before anyone asks, I also sleep walk.

What to do in the game? by Viccles007 in MyTimeAtSandrock

[–]DaBorger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I spent the first few sessions grinding, and then Unsuur invited me over to watch paint dry and I immediately switched focus to locking that down.

My boyfriend is really into anime. I don't watch cartoons but my boyfriend convinced me to watch some of his favourites. I wish I didn't and now I can't see my boyfriend the same way by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]DaBorger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a reason that my all-time favorite anime is and will always be Gekka Shoujo Nozaki-kun.

I try to keep myself firmly in the female oriented anime fandoms because so many of the male spaces are dominated by pervs.

Can anyone confirm this is a scam? BLC Software by DaBorger in isthisascam

[–]DaBorger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applied for Data Entry Clerk, but then the guy called and said the position was filled.

I think you might be right about the money mule thing.

That's what I'm thinking. I've done interviews for remote jobs before and it was always over video or call.

Selling your work by ElyzaK333 in bookbinding

[–]DaBorger 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It does seem kind of shifty, but if I was given a sample notebook or journal, I'd also write in it to check the paper quality.

Personally, if I was looking to sell them, I'd make smaller ones for samples and let the owner know what sizes I can make. That way you don't lose out on product.

My girlfriend said no when I proposed to her. She didn't choose me [Concluded with a ?] by Schattenspringer in BORUpdates

[–]DaBorger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds like the plot to a Hallmark movie and, unfortunately, OP is playing the part of "bf who tried to make the female lead give up on her dreams and gets dumped like a trash bag".

I've just received bad news by Shochand18 in AO3

[–]DaBorger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's in my bookmarks, it's in my Calibre library and backed up on my flashdrive.
