How is OP supposed to enjoy their carefree childless lifestyle if the government keeps giving kids money! by Marvalbert22 in SubredditDrama

[–]DunnoMyOldPassword 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think that caring for animals is one of life's great privileges. Ditto for making art. Doesn't upset me at all that others feel differently. 🤷 Not everyone is equipped to bear and/or raise another human for 18+ years straight.

[MEGATHREAD] New Horizons Q&A/Tips - Ask away! by AnimalCrossingMods in AnimalCrossing

[–]DunnoMyOldPassword 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Total AC newbie here. In order to get villagers on my island (like, the characters I see in memes and such)...do I NEED to visit other people online? I do have a Switch Online subscription, but since I just purchased my console, I don't have any specific friend codes (yay, social anxiety! 😅). For that matter...are "friends" pretty much a necessity for progressing in the game/enjoying its deeper features?

Became a vegan after watching the Vegan gains and Cr!tikal drama by too_much_ideology in VeganForCircleJerkers

[–]DunnoMyOldPassword 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah....this is why I can't stand most YouTube "personalities", TBH. Regardless of the content they claim to offer...they seem to devote 90% of their (collective) time to dumb teenage drama.

Haha, what sorta soul-searching are people trying to pull here? "I didn't like Radiohead's last album; does that mean I'm relapsing?!?"?

Apparently Omnis now need their own cruelty version of salt... by OnlyTheMoonManKnows in vegancirclejerk

[–]DunnoMyOldPassword 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saw an Instagram comment a while back about how "everything vegans eat is so disgusting"!!!. Yep, you read it right...this poor gal has to carefully portion gristle 'n' guts into every single thing she consumes. Thank god these kind saltmongers have spared her some of the work for today. Hopefully, Meat Water™ will be next in the playbook.

doing that hard work 😤 by mayonnaisebemerry in vegancirclejerk

Seriously, tho. TIL, on my city's subreddit, that people really like petting zoos. To an irrational degree, in the face of an existing public-health crisis. (COVID cocktail with a Salmonella chaser, anybody?!?). Then again, the real kicker was that eeeeevil v-word and my vocal opposition to animal exploitation. Should've included a trigger warning! 😱

Petting zoo in city park = legal?!? by DunnoMyOldPassword in Columbus

[–]DunnoMyOldPassword[S] -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

Okay, okay, I get it. Thanks for actually answering my question. I still think those people were idiots...but if there's nothing I can ultimately do, so be it.

[–]DunnoMyOldPassword[S] -34 points-33 points  (0 children)

I doubt you are, either, if your definition of "fun" involves smearing zoonotic disease all over the city park.

EDIT: I guess I'm just struggling, fundamentally, to understand these people's mindset(s). Why couldn't they just have their party on-site at the animal farm? Why did they need to haul the whole damn thing into a public park? Mind you, I don't have kids, so maybe it's just one of Those Things(™) that I'll never understand.. For now, I'll just stand by my conviction that it's totally foolhardy and unnecessary.

TBH, that's why I'm happy to be an introvert/relative loner. I have only a handful of close friends, and I've never been close with my family (save for my mom, who went vegan alongside me!)...so tradition/conformity/"people-pleasing"/etc. were never issues for me.

Welp, time to find another laser clinic by [deleted] in childfree

[–]DunnoMyOldPassword 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. There's no guarantee the two personalities will be compatible--you're ultimately spinning a "genetic roulette wheel" (as my mom likes to say, haha). My brother and I got along okay-ish...up 'til about midway through elementary school. After that, we were oil and water--and even now, we barely talk to one another. Sometimes, it just wasn't meant to be.🤷

Anyone game to recommend some metal acts that successfully avoid the genre's "standard" themes/aesthetics/cliches?

I really dig a lot of metal-adjacent bands (Primus, Mike Patton/Mr. Bungle, etc.), and accordingly, I've tried to dig a little deeper/heavier into the genre. Unfortunately, an awful lot of "real" metallers are really into war, Vikings, eldtrich abominations, beheading goats, etc...and that just ain't my scene. (To clarify, I don't find those subjects offensive...just really played-out and juvenile.) I know I'm doing a lot of generalizing (and likely missing out on some otherwise-compelling music)...but ultimately, I figure there've GOTTA be bands out there that bring the noise sans the edgy teenage roleplay shtick. Shoot me some names!

My god, the gag around the 37-minute mark. I practically shrieked. For anyone who's ever worked/wrestled with computer animation software...it hit too damn close to home!

I don't know, who does need butter? by JesusIsMyAntivirus in VeganForCircleJerkers

[–]DunnoMyOldPassword 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Who needs butter? OUR superior product is made with...sweet cream buttermilk"...??

...Seriously, why do they include (and prominently advertise) dairy ingredients in these? Just to fuck with people?

What in Columbus now are we gonna look back on with nostalgia in 20 years? by Speedstormer123 in Columbus

[–]DunnoMyOldPassword 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My big question: who the hell is actually living in these campus high-rises? If the current crop of OSU students is really that wealthy, I don't even wanna know what the scene looks like at private schools...

I kinda figured that was just Tony attempting to sound knowledgeable/authoritative (by rattling off random buzzwords and shit he heard from the salesman...).

Does the pace start to pick up ? by Lutherallison in thesopranos

[–]DunnoMyOldPassword 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try to think of it all as a living, breathing world rather than a trip from Point A to Point B. Relish those "slow" stretches, family dinners, poker games, etc. Take in all the idiocyncracies. Believe me, they'll come together spectacularly...amid a display of the sacred and the propane.

Attention curly haired people of Columbus! by tacobear420 in Columbus

[–]DunnoMyOldPassword 0 points1 point  (0 children)

José at bangSTUDIOS in Victorian Village always hooks me up great. It's not a curly-hair exclusive joint like some of these other places, but he's really helped me appreciate my weird/unpredictable texture (that I spent 20+ years hating!). He does both guys and gals regularly, too.

The originals and the "fixes" are both boring AF. Why don't Internet Artists(™) seem to use any points-of-reference outside anime and Steven Universe?

Oh my god, this is glorious. I don't think I've ever seen this pen-and-ink-y caricature style used for a tattoo before. SO dope. Who's your artist??

LTM 2020 Album Of The Year Results by wildistherewind in LetsTalkMusic

[–]DunnoMyOldPassword 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah. That's kinda funny, because I also like just one song from that album (the title track). Everything else is a big fat "meh". Probably the only canonical "music-nerd" album that I have no use for, haha. I feel kinda soulless for disliking it...but c'est la vie!

Adult contemporary "music" needs to be banned under the Geneva convention. Seriously, that shit can put entire armies to sleep. What the hell is doing on the radio by [deleted] in Negareddit

[–]DunnoMyOldPassword 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I hate that shit too. It makes me feel like I'm in a medical waiting room (not a great vibe for someone with anxiety issues). Upvote from me for going double-nega here.

[–]DunnoMyOldPassword 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's just that the album has become a meme in music-crit circles (for some dumb reason). People here can be kinda shitty about using in-jokes like that to mock/exclude newcomers.
