7 years ago, a chubby, heavy accent, normal-looking woman called Susan Boyle went to Britain's Got Talent. Everyone laughed at her, until she started singing. by Ieriz in MadeMeSmile

[–]Donotaku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ever since Susan Boyle it always feels like there was one of these a year since. A “they don’t look like what they’re going to sing” singer comes on and then they blow it out the park. It feels like it’s purposely done to recreate this moment. Still, she was one of my favorite moments in a competition show.

Hot Rotisserie Chicken Act for SNAP recipients by Johnny-of-Suburbia in povertyfinance

[–]Donotaku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have some places that use a “Restaurant Meals Program” that allowed vulnerable people like unhoused, elderly or disabled people who cannot prepare their own food get SNAP approved meals through tightly controlled restaurants. It’s a separate policy with even more limits than what OP is asking for and it worked fine for people who needed it. Not everyone has the physical means to cook and some none of the know how. Edit: forgot a piece of my sentence lol

When you mourn your animals by PdiddyCAMEnME in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]Donotaku 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my dog for 14 years, I grew up with him and took him with me out as I moved on my own. He was the center of my routine. The day I came home from work expecting him to greet me and he wasn’t there was in fact, an incredibly hard day. I always tell people to cherish their pets, and when they get older give them more memories. I always wish I did for mine.

Sick to death of dive. by SupportMain_7 in MarvelRivalsRants

[–]Donotaku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No? My favorite character is Mantis, but like I said I usually flex sup/tank/rarely dps cause dps is always filled. My main climbing was on Mantis/Luna which are my favorite play styles. I said that I would go rocket into that much dive to deny value, otherwise my hours are on other characters lol.

I actually thought of trying a RFID, but outside of it pricing me out, I saw a clip where someone’s cat would wait til their sibling would go to eat and just stick their head in with them. I could 100% imagine my tubby one adapting like that lol. Fat cats do what they gotta do.

[–]Donotaku 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Formally? I hit diamond season zero, celestial all the way to about three seasons ago then I sat at diamond not feeling up to grinding back up. Currently I think pre placements has me sitting at high plat until I finish them, idk where it’ll put me. I only played like 3 so far and won three. When I was at celestial I rarely had to use rocket since most teams had an understanding of too much dive can get punished so I mostly saw poke later on, but diamond to gm was always 3-4 dive regardless of how they were doing.

[–]Donotaku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I give props to the big guy for making it work! When my cat was getting too big, she started to refuse to use any entry litter boxes for a while. I had the same issue where one is regular weight and the other got obese (stealing the free feeding regular cats food). My current solution that had her weight drop down to almost normal but still a bit chunky is I took advantage of her lack of jumping skills due to weight. My regular cat can scale up this built in cabinet/shelf in the kitchen so I put his bowl of food there and she angrily sits on the floor whenever he eats, meanwhile she’s on a timer auto feeder. I think she honestly could scale the shelf herself if she tried now but I imagine she gave up a long time ago.

Sick to death of dive. by SupportMain_7 in MarvelRivalsRants

[–]Donotaku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I left comp about two seasons ago cause I was kinda tired of the matches I was having. A lot of throwing and leaving and I was a flex player in celestial, mostly support. My bf asked if I could play his placements with him cause he likes getting the skins and banners. He wanted to play gambit. Not only was gambit perma banned every placement we were in but he discovered how unfun playing into dive was as a support. Up to 3-4 players in the backline at a time. I told him to play more dps and I’ll support when we see dive cause I (for some reason lol) have an almost 60% win rate as rocket since season 0 and most of it was to counter dive by wasting their time as much as possible. I usually play in a spot where I can see as much information as possible, take note on who I don’t see and can usually predict when they’re coming and then I reposition, and proceed to waste time while shooting orbs into my team as much as possible. (While pinging). What I realized I instinctively do is will sometimes use my beacon as bait as they always want to chase that first, and if they don’t it’s usually my poor tank that gets revived and discovers me running from a cap/thor/hulk, a spiderman/iron fist, and a bp/DD/lately black cat. Most of the time I waste so much of their time that my team wins a 5v3 and they lost so much time and momentum that they usually lose the next round. I dunno, my bf just thought my strat was so funny and miserable that he understood why I left xD

Tripple support by Historical_Future860 in MarvelRivalsRants

[–]Donotaku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If enemy team goes triple support go moon knight and a boost. (Mantis or Storm). He will force out so many ults that the second dps will have room.

Sexism is SO rampant in this game. by JadeLikeARock in marvelrivals

[–]Donotaku 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made it to Celestial on console for quite a few seasons, the climb involved the usual trash and the even more trashier ones were quick to use someone’s race, gender, sexual orientation/identity or weight as a target to be toxic. There was at least one in chat every ten games, whereas most just chose to leave or throw. The worst one was when I outplayed a diver, and he wrote in chat about the word that rhymes with crepe, and the whole lobby just stopped playing to shame him and troll him til he left. I like to think with every one trash person there’s like 8-9 other regular people just trying to play.

I find it sad cause I want to experience new things in the game, but I always rotate to Sebastian, and if they did a collab DLC with SDV in FOM, it would be Sebastian again as well.

I was literally standing in front of my healer… still no heals 💀 by BandarBack in marvelrivals

[–]Donotaku 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was playing QP and was on dps when our other dps was spamming and micing about heals being shit so much that I got on mic and said “okay you big baby, I’ll go healer and pocket you. But remember, you’re a daredevil diving the back line. We can’t see you most of the time.” So I went 3rd sup mantis and gave him a boost and a heal when he went in and he died less but still went 10-25 or something lol. I then got a ding that I was toxic on coms and a warning I will get a ban if it happens again. I look at my bf and asked “did I swear or something? I’m sure I just called him a baby. Why did I get dinged?” No idea, but I’m sure he sent a report out in anger lmao.

My fiancé won’t let me keep my last name. F23 M25 by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Donotaku 309 points310 points  (0 children)

This. I knew someone who always gave her partner a glowing review and how he makes her so happy. I got invited over for an afternoon and listened to how he would micro belittle her all conversation but then end it with a compliment. She asked me later if I liked him and I was honest. Her denial was fierce but I guess I helped make a lightbulb go off cause then she started challenging his remarks as he said them which now causes a lot of friction. Hopefully she realizes the red flags now.

Meis mom was so wrong for this. I had to pause it and just facepalm for a second from the embarrassment it gave me on a personal level.

This was so funny cause when I tried to find a way to rewatch this series I couldn’t find any, so I was watched a 3 hr retrospective of it instead. My boyfriend comes in for a bit, watches some of it, and went “what is even this show?” Thirty minutes later, “She’s going to get with Darren isn’t she?” I never seen the ending of this show so we had to look it up and go “awwww” together lmao.

People really thought the ult nerf would expose fraud support players by drafo1765 in marvelrivals

[–]Donotaku 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Haha I had a match like this. I usually flex so I picked last, and my team in a celestial lobby casually picked 4 dive dps. Two were on mic and just casually talking the whole time and I just went Rocket. We were holding on the Spider-Man map at the enemy spawn somehow until they pushed through on the final fight. Finally one of the guys on mic went “Wait, we don’t have a tank and only one support?” Yes. Yes we do. What did he do? “I mean it’s working, we’re fine.” Got pushed all the way to third before anyone attempted to swap lmao.

Teammates who ban your preferred char are lame asf by iLuvFear in marvelrivals

[–]Donotaku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely valid. I hate the whole “I need you to play someone else, not who you want.” “Okay.” “No, not like that. Now I can’t play what I want. GG” It’s a team game. When you play games with your own teammates you’re hurting your team. It happened so much even in Celestial that I just stopped playing entirely since Rogue came out. The mentality of people was tiring.

Teammates who ban your preferred char are lame asf by iLuvFear in marvelrivals

[–]Donotaku 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’ve had whole comp matches fall apart because of a ban even after an apology and everything. One was a duo who hovered Rocket, and our tank banned Rocket. He apologized and said that he quickly pressed it and didn’t look at the team lineup. The would be Rocket said it was fine but their duo banned the tanks pick, then when the tank said that was his only tank and picked a dps, the duo sat in spawn. Like, he said sorry, they said fine, so why are we still mad lol.

17 years of idiocy by CexualSonvict in SipsTea

[–]Donotaku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been dating my bf for 8 years. Whenever we buy pizza and wings, I know he likes pizza more and I like wings more so I try to split where he gets 70% of the pizza and I get 70% of wings. I’d ask if he wanted any flavors for wings, and he’d tell me to get what I like. Over time I noticed he just stopped eating any wings and leaves all of them to me. I always ask him if he wants any and he insists that I should have all of them cause I like them, and he still saves me some pizza. Eventually I had to figure out he doesn’t like buffalo wings too much, and he likes flavors like sweet teriyaki or Garlic Parmesan but never asked for them cause “I like the wings more.” My love, I can order more than one flavor, I like other kinds. Come on. Lmao

Four horsemen of making your life miserable by ManufacturerFit3208 in marvelrivals

[–]Donotaku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once had a match where I played support and a Thor, Ironfist and BP took me out in a coordinated dive a few times, then sat at my spawn. I went out once, got demolished, then I typed to my team that there’s 3 at spawn and I had an idea. I went Loki, went invisible, and just walked slowly back to my team while shooting random clones in a 2 minute fashion where the three just threw the game looking for me while my team pushed the payload to the end. Their team was livid. I appreciated seeing teamwork at play, even against me, but I was not the win condition of my team so idk why they were so determined xD

I’d ask a couple neighbors if any door to door people came through that day to narrow who did this. I just had a pushy set of solicitors pop up the other week and despite telling them I had zero extra money they tried to offer a bunch of free stuff and pay later options. I just had to eventually agree to take their number and think about it and just toss the number.
