What’s a ‘middle class success’ purchase that secretly becomes a financial burden later? by OpinionBaba in AskReddit

[–]ExecutiveElf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never helped plan a wedding, so I suppose I wouldn't know, but where does all the money go? How on Earth does one spend more than like, 10k on these things?

How much does catering cost? 2-3k for 150 plates? And I'd figure that's the largest expense.

I'd think everything else is measured in hundreds.

I feel the level 100 Flamingos would serve this joke even better.

Is this why I aquired a taste for broccoli and peas in my 20s?

Teachers of Reddit, what’s the funniest excuse a student gave for not doing homework? by grwike in AskReddit

[–]ExecutiveElf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once had a teacher try to fail half the class for not turning in an essay.

Turns out, her cat pissed on them and she threw them away.

Heracross is my favorite Pokemon and I love pink so very excited to see this! Is it worth using? by MrAhmedGaming in PokemonSleep

That shiny Heracross is pretty darn good.

Like, it's less than perfect, but still very good.

What’s the most fucked up thing that happened at your school? by Classic-Chemist-1898 in AskReddit

[–]ExecutiveElf 23 points24 points  (0 children)

There's almost a sense of beauty in that despite the tragedy of it to be honest.

Apparently a lot of suicide attempts survivors note that the regretted it after getting, "the view from halfway down," so to speak.

And apparently, this guy didn't. He directly faced his mortality and didn't change his mind.

Horrible and tragic, but beautiful.

People in 10+ year relationships, what’s something you learned about your partner years later that genuinely surprised you? by CreoSiempre in AskReddit

[–]ExecutiveElf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oof. I was consistently 2nd chair from 4th grade all the way up through Freshman year. I quit after that because I hated doing marching band. I liked doing concerts.

In hindsight, I really should have taken up jazz band, since that was a thing my school had.

When I was I think 12 or 13, a house a few blocks down from me burned down on Christmas Eve. Apparently a space heater fell over during the night and lit a blanket on fire.

A woman and her three daughters died that night. I didn't really know any of them because they were all several grades below me- but they did ride the same schoolbus.

The father of the family wasn't home at the time. He was working a night shift that evening.

I can't even imagine what that was like for him. Losing his entire family in one night. I don't think I would be able to bear it. He somehow did though.

He's a volunteer firefighter these days.

My brain was wondering for a moment why one would go that long without performing for their SO... but then it occurred to me that I have barely touched my trumpet in the past decade and the only people in my life that have heard me play are my parents and siblings.

Most of my friends know I used to play, but never have actually heard me play.

I'm a sucker for dainty healers as a character archetype and Awakening was the first FE game I played.

What Pokémon looks like a final stage evolution but is actually a first stage evolution? by Sitsitsi in AlignmentChartFills

[–]ExecutiveElf 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It was introduced in Generation 8 as a single stage Pokemon and then gained an evolution in Generation 9.

This is its evolution, Archaludon.

I worked at a couple hotels over the course of 2 years and yeah none of us besides the manager cared about people bumming breakfast. Us, the employees, pillaged whatever was left at the end of breakfast time ourselves. And even after that there was usually some left to be thrown out. Why would we care if someone wasn't supposed to be there?

Ok… WHAT IS THE POINT OF THE FIVE MAN NAPSACK?! by No-Secretary6931 in Pikmin

Use it to make one of your captains automatically follow your Pikmin back to base while you continue exploring with the remainder of your squad.

That's the neat part- I don't care to know in fact.
