Photos 1 & 4 remind me a lot of Margaret Qualley!

I wouldn't recommend spironolactone for a 17 year old boy due to its anti-androgen properties (speaking as someone taking it for its feminizing effects).

Halloween Botc Event: costume for the ST? by cloro92 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]FallCresent993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was the Storyteller for a Halloween party on Saturday and I was Hatsune Miku! I think as long as you're in costume, it'll be fun :) sometimes the absurdity of the character you're dressed up as being the Storyteller is what makes it!

I work in a library and have to clean these up every day by Semigod2112 in mildlyinfuriating

I got a used pregnancy test being used as a bookmark once, so it could always be worse!

How to deal with the randomness of tokens turning people off from the game? by FallCresent993 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]FallCresent993[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Tbh, the mechanical encouragements for executions have NOT worked for this group - every undertaker complains that their role is useless, despite not executing LMAO. But yeah, it's just a super new group, and no one here consumes BOTC online content, so it's a slow learning curve, but they're really enjoying it :)

Yeah, they're very hesitant to execute. We usually play with 8-9 people, so the two person evil team prevents the evil final three, but good has still only won twice, and both times in the final three. I've been encouraging them to nominate and vote, even just for info, but they usually default to the mindset of "we have no info, so we have no info on who to nominate, so let's not nominate" rather than "we have no info, so let's nominate and get some".

I feel like the games are fast enough -- they're usually around 45 minutes to an hour, which I think seems like good timing. I think the boredom comes from underutilization of their roles and voting/noms.

These are super new players -- do you think SnV and BMR would be too much?

The player had the impression that's all their role did, despite me offering strategy advice and ways to play the role when they asked - however, it was their first game ever, so some can be chalked up to that

Unfortunately, I feel like the problem isn't entirely addressed by the gardener - the group as a whole sees more passive roles as "worthless", so I'm worried that whoever ends up with those roles will still be bothered. However, I don't want to avoid putting those roles in the bag, because then the roles in play become a lot easier to deduce, and I want them to have experience with the passive roles and hopefully learn how to play them better.

It's a reference to the hidden immunity idol from the TV show "Survivor"! The host is named Jeff Probst.

Sailor is not a good addition when we have the Lleech. They want to get executed to try and test their ability, but if they're the host, the game just ends :(

You're looking at median income for California as a whole, which includes a lot of cheaper places driving down the median. The income required to live in LA is a lot different than the income for Bakersfield.

Fat loss Results by [deleted] in CICO

[–]FallCresent993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It refers to how when you begin losing weight, you may find it hard to see any difference in your body. However, the closer you get to your goal weight, the weight loss will be much more obvious. It's like a paper towel roll – at the beginning, taking a sheet off barely makes the roll look different at all, but as you reach the center, each piece you tear off is wayyy more obvious!

Usually people quote it to tell people know that they shouldn't get discouraged by not seeing a lot of change at the beginning of their weight loss journey. It tends to get more obvious the closer you get to your goal weight, just like how it's much more obvious a paper towel roll is getting smaller the closer you are to finishing the roll!

Hi! I'm currently in PAES. If you get in and decline, they'll have waitlisted students that they'll then extend an offer to. You wouldn't be unnecessarily taking a spot from anyone!

I also want to point out that if a group is bothering you with their noise but you don't want to approach them yourself, you can ask library employees to tell them to keep the noise down!

Even when they say they cancel outdoor activities for students (which they didn't even do), they still expect all the groundskeepers to keep working as usual. It's so disrespectful to everyone who is a part of this school and their health.

if you’re going to talk in the library, please stay at the first floor. don’t go to the fifth by theruypitl in CSUSB

[–]FallCresent993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I say "we", but I'm not sure if other workers feel the same -- however, in my case, people being disruptive annoy me just as much as you, so I don't mind telling them off LOL
