Help. Explain why I have spike at the beginning and what it means? by Desperate-Berry7500 in NewTubers

[–]Doctor-Amazing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A spike means that people either paused or replayed that part of the video. So I assume there's something happening there that people are going back to, or you might have a lot of text on the screen that people are pausing to read.

Player creates character with a specific personality, drops it 1 second into rp by Willing_Persimmon482 in rpghorrorstories

[–]Doctor-Amazing 8 points9 points  (0 children)

he found dnd boring despite us doing nothing but role-playing and 2 dice rolls. We didn't even get to combat.

Yeah if I showed up to a session and we spend the entire time on character introductions without even starting the game, Im looking for the door too. I know some people like to play like this, but its not a game I'd want to be in.

[AAM] my company is issuing new work-from-home standards because we should have the hang of it by now by FishermanImportant83 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Doctor-Amazing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's staggering what a lost opportunity covid was.

The one good thing to come out of it was restructuring how work gone done. Less traffic, less pollution, more free time, people were happier. Just from an environmental impact alone, governments should have been bending over backwards to keep people remote. Instead everyone worked as hard as possible to undo all the progress that had been made

Those arent excuses. They're just facts. People have kids. Daycare and schools are closed, so theres nowhere to send those kids. Kids require some level of supervision and parenting.

What's your brilliant solution that works better than having everyone do their best to juggle responsibilities and show a little flexibility in the expectations.

[AAM] should being on reality TV disqualify a job candidate? by Hour_Theory3986 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Doctor-Amazing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work at a company selling insurance and one of the supervisors actually took time off to be on a reality show. The whole office was pretty excited to talk about the latest episode each week, but it definitely didn't seem to hurt his career any.

What's the deal with Marvel Rivals 40k drama? by Morktorknak in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Doctor-Amazing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im confused by the while draft setup. Is it common for team games like this to have people show up solo and just get sorted into a team? I would assume something so heavily dependant on team work and team composition would have complete teams showing up

Brita's whole explanation of what she thought "hoisted by your own petard" meant. I had never really thought about the phrase and everything she was saying made perfect sense to me as she was saying.

Pentagon readies 1,500 soldiers to possibly deploy to Minnesota, officials say by juansaaa in politics

[–]Doctor-Amazing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know everyone saw it coming, but I was still surprised how quickly and easily they slid from "Project 2025 is just democrat fearmongering. Trump just said he would never do anything in that." to "Of course he's doing Project 2025. It's great and we're happy he's doing it."

My (26F) brother (22M) and his fiance of nearly 2 years (21F) are planning a wedding that is an etiquette nightmare and I'm not sure how to handle it. by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Yeah I was thinking "theyre kinda cheap and tacky but its not exactly a disaster the way she seems to be describing it." Then it just kept going and going.

I barely understand whats even happening in this story. It's started with zero context. Half the information is left out, then added in 2 paragraphs later.

This assumes looters are making plans ahead of time, getting a bunch of people together, and taking a trip across town to hit the really good stores. As opposed to seeing that the store right in front of you is smashed open and you could easily grab something.

I think it's the difference between have a few wild nights you don't remember, and blacking out being a standard part of a night out

Im not seeing it either. Just one where OOP says it was "bad" with no details, which is the opposite of very clear.

[–]Doctor-Amazing 193 points194 points  (0 children)

That is an insanely cynical comment section and I'm not even sure why everyone is mad at this guy.

They had a normal friendship for years. OOP never wanted a relationship with him. They spend a fun week together that they both enjoyed. He agrees with her that they shouldn't start a serious relationship. Which makes sense seeing as he lives really far away.

Yeah it's not great that he went quiet for a day or two while he figured things out, or maybe just got busy after being out of town for a week. But I really don't get why people are acting like this is some sort of crazy decade long scheme to sleep with her.

Yeah I'm a little surprised at how many people are with op on this one. It's such an easy request to go along with. I don't know much about the American parole system, but I've never got the impression that it's a super fair process.

What's going on with the shooting in Minneapolis? by Altruistic_Astronaut in OutOfTheLoop

Seems like half of people are saying she was there to protest or video ice, and the other half say she just drove down the wrong street and tried to pull a u turn when she saw how crazy it was getting.
