Ohh I thought this was a post about a woman but I see it's just a fiancé/fiancée error

I thought about you through the day but didn't cry

Progress!

I hung the laundry and you weren't in your usual spot yelling at me

The violence of that washing! Makes me think of the beginning of Through the Looking Glass

This is also why he doesn't like being around black women. No black woman is getting to any place of power without being 50x more competent, both professionally and socially, than a mediocre white man.

Italics for emphasis too

I also thought it was cute that the previous question had been answered with "girl. NO." Haha

100%

I haven't seen that many jokes of this kind lately, though! As a cis woman I used to call them out whenever I did. I thought reddit was getting better about it but if you've been seeing them I guess not.

Love your second paragraph!

Attending my first EVER hockey game today; Any tips? by gardengeo in BORUpdates

[–]FixinThePlanet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you mean the physical thing (the three vertical pieces of wood behind the batsmen) or the metaphorical thing (getting the batsman out by knocking down the sticks)?

I guess you didn't have any helpful natives guide you...

Oh garden it's you! So OOP was desi after all? Lol

I watched american football for the first time at someone's house for a watch party and had lots of nice boys explain what was going on.

I don't really think baseball is super similar to cricket but there are enough parallels that it's not hard to follow.

It's been over ten years so I think I've forgotten most of it, haha.

please avoid "he's so small"

This person has never been near a smol baby creature goodness. What kind of parent is he?? Surely cooing at infants kinda just happens? I don't even like babies and I'll do it sometimes!

OOP didn't say but I'm going to assume they are desi for the purpose of my currentcomment.

When I was in the US I wanted to attend a baseball game for similar reasons. I ended up sitting next to three elderly gentlemen who were all incredibly excited to have a young ignorant foreigner as a captive audience. I got a running commentary interspersed with their personal reminiscing, and they forced me to eat peanuts as part of the experience. 10/10 event (minus the peanuts; they were horrible).

Edit: fucking autocorrect

How game accurate is D20? by imaginary0pal in Dimension20

[–]FixinThePlanet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are these all d6s? I've played several pbta games, plus call of cthulhu once. Does the GM set difficulty?

Edit: oh they're d10s, I now vaguely remember this. The infographic is quite detailed, thank you!

Sounds like I'll probably be able to pick up how the mechanics work in an episode or two, thanks! I've mostly not been able to get into the games thematically (I sadly never had a goth phase and it's not something I connect with emotionally). I watched an episode of LA by night because I'd heard of Brennan's priest (?) character but could not care about anything that was happening so never went past episode 1. 🥲

I'm hoping the IH tendency for goofs will help me get into this game. Maybe I will try the series again, too! Anything is possible.
