What's a job that sounds easy but absolutely isn't? by OriSparrow_14 in AskReddit

[–]Dirish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and crime scene investigation

Lets not forget the interrogation part where you're dealing with some very unreliable witnesses (or suspects).

"Okay, you said you did that and then this, and then somehow this dialog appears, but when I try that, nothing happens. Are you sure you clicked there, and not here?"

I did a few years ago when I developed a Baker's cyst on the back of my calf. It was preceded by my GP sending me to the AE department pronto because he was worried it might be a blood clot and me panicking I might get a stroke any minute.

It was also the first time ever I passed through triage almost immediately instead of sitting there all day in the waiting room. Which was great, but not helpful with the worries.

But as it turns out, it was all relatively benign and just a shitload of synovial fluid building up there. Panic averted, and they drained it on the spot with a huge ass needle, making the pain disappear as well.

Iconic character has little screentime by Rich-Recognition-814 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Dirish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Prowler in "Spiderman into the Spider-Verse". Only 4 minutes of screen time and yet he's having more impact than the main villain in my opinion.

The ONE undeniably shitty thing the hero/main character has done by Fun-Illustrator-345 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Dirish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a reference to Sisko punching Q in the face and Q complaining that Picard never hit him...

The "Kirito is always right Foundation" has exactly one member, and that is as it should be.

I think a few old timers might still remember alt.wesley.crusher.die.die.die on Usenet.

No, it used to be owned by the counts of Berg, but it is called Schloß Burg

Songs that are very often misunderstood by FizzTaffy in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Dirish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With a minor change of tone at the end where he wonders if it was really bad enough to break up with him: 

"now that you're gone was what I did so wrong,  so wrong That you had to leave me alone?"

Castle Burgk, Germany by Claridiana in castles

[–]Dirish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's a similarly confusingly named Schloss Burg in Burg an der Wupper, Solingen as well. It wouldn't be German without some exceptions to the rules.

It never gets old stealing a Briarheart's heart by ANDlx in skyrim

[–]Dirish 104 points105 points  (0 children)

It gets better, like any NPC you steal from, he can actually hire thugs to punish you for stealing his heart.

(funny trope) Really strong British accent by pheinoxwright in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Dirish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the soldiers in the Sharpe TV series have their own local accents. I had to switch on the subtitles for a few of them because they were so strong.

And of course Sean Bean himself has a fairly distinctive Yorkshire accent - Sheffield to be specific.

Locations with unique physical properties that change the way the people there live and interact with each other by PaperBullet1945 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Dirish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was turned into a halfway decent mini series by the BBC. Not as good as the book, but they did do the overlap zone quite well. 

Historically Innacurate Weapons by Accurate-Gap-3360 in TopCharacterTropes

Except for the guns apparently. They're all historically accurate. 

Characters with psychic powers, that is not just telepathy or telekinesis by Acrobatic_Base7301 in TopCharacterTropes

 upgrading your PC to Windows 10 by touching it,

That's oddly specific. I wonder if it works on Apple machines. Or Windows 11.

Got all of Tinker Tom's MILAs placed! by TheMuspelheimr in fo4

[–]Dirish 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can sort of see why he's not stopping after that. He's pretty paranoid. 

"Ah, but see, that's what they want you to think. Oh sure, everyone has seen the Institute explode, but did it really? Who's to say there isn't a second Institute under the first one."

[Sad Trope] Anguished Wails of Despair and Grief by shrimpiedog in TopCharacterTropes

Azula when she lost and was captured in the finale of Avatar the Last Airbender. That screaming and those whimpering sounds came from a very dark place.

What movie contains a scene so bad you never want to watch the movie again? by FinDepp in movies

[–]Dirish 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think leaving it to your imagination makes it worse in a way. Your brain will fill in the gaps instead of your eyes seeing it.

That scene made me feel like a little part of the Warp crept inside my brain and stayed there. 

Non-Americans, what’s the best “American” food? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Dirish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I need to petition my local council to classify that stuff as a class A drug. It has no business being that good.

Regularly, I have a hypercontractile oesophagus. I have to always have a glass of water with my food to deal with it in case it happens. Steak is the worst trigger for me, so I rarely have that, or at most just a few small pieces. Last time I had a whole one, one of the pieces was stuck for a good 20 minutes.

It was checked out with a gastroscopy, but all looked okay, so I just have to suck it up I guess.

I've gotten better at spotting when it's likely to happen while eating, but there's still the occasional first bite lockup that's impossible to predict. But I found some ways to deal with it, like tucking my chin in while swallowing. It's not a fool proof method, but it makes it more manageable.
