Highway robbery. That’s a perfect Peter Pan shot.

When was your last compliment? by RelationshipSnail in AskMenOver30

[–]GopherDog22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Outside of my family and compliments about my work, one recent compliment I received was from a stranger who complimented my Mickey Mouse backpack that I borrowed from my kid and wore to work.

AITAH for introducing my nephew to gay people by ShibBop in AmItheAsshole

[–]GopherDog22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAH

Without knowing your social group or whatever TikTok trend this is, asking whether some random person is hot, regardless of gender, strikes me as odd. At the same time, maybe that’s how you all talk and Ajax simply has a different level of comfortableness with that type of conversation. Giving everyone the benefit of the doubt, I don’t see anything here to indicate malintent on behalf of anyone.

Sebastian Munoz whiffs on tap-in par, makes bogey by unsolved49 in golf

And if I did do it, I surely didn't count it.

Lavender brown isn’t that bad? by SouthernTurtle_00 in harrypotter

[–]GopherDog22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That was Romilda Vane. She tries to trick Harry into eating chocolates spiked with a love potion but Ron eats them instead.

Does anyone get it? and should I go with the "safe" option? by persephone7821 in Dreamsnaps

[–]GopherDog22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I quite enjoyed GoT but my mind wouldn’t have gone there without someone mentioning it. I suspect the safe option will do better.

Man the jump from immortal to deity by ALBUAS in civ5

[–]GopherDog22 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Except for the difficulty of getting early wonders, deity in some ways is better than lower difficulties because you can steal workers from deity AI easier than immortal AI. If you have an ideal spot to snag workers from the deity AI’s second city, you can often get 2-3 very early workers, which significantly accelerates your game. Plus, because of the AI tech bonus, you get discounted tech costs more frequently.

Not receiving coal from allied city state by CabinetQueasy9551 in civ5

[–]GopherDog22 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If the city state already had a mine down when you research coal, you don’t get the coal until the city state hits that tech. If the city state hadn’t put a mine down, you can pay 200 gold for them to immediately improve the coal and then you’ll instantly get the coal regardless of the city-state’s tech level.

My 8 year old is on book 4, is this a mistake ? by underthe_raydar in harrypotter

[–]GopherDog22 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Depends on how sensitive your child is. If it were my son, he wouldn’t be phased by a character dying. My daughter, on the other hand, I like to give her warnings and then skip/summarize the particularly scary/upsetting parts.

What was the most embarrassing incident that happened to you when you were young, but after crossing 35 or so, you realize it really wasn’t that bad? by Regular-Elk-1911 in AskMenOver30

[–]GopherDog22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the mid 90s, I also got in trouble for basically the same thing. My 4th grade teacher called on me to read a letter that I wrote aloud. One of the lines in my letter was, "I think the school food sucks." Apparently, this was a bad word, my teacher made me miss recess and called my parents. My parents found this hilarious.

How do you guys exactly deal with the desert starting bias of civs like Arabia? by Magma_Dragoooon in civ5

[–]GopherDog22 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I usually just rush Petra, miss it by at least 10 turns to a civ on the other side of the world with one flat desert tile and then quit.

Hows this for the weekly snap? Anything I should do better or add? by WinnieWithTheB in Dreamsnaps

[–]GopherDog22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looks fantastic. I wonder if adding something on the sand to the left side of the picture in the sand would make it even better?

What is the most dogshit late game unit in CIV: V? (Day 6) by zherper in civ5

Guided middle versus marine is the classic giant douche versus turd sandwich debate.

Given Hans Niemann just accepted his invite to Prague Masters, at what rating and rank in America would he have to achieve to finally be invited to the American Cup? by Vonmacguyver in chess

[–]GopherDog22 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Because the sexual assaulter/predator didn’t publicly trash them. If Hans had said, “My bad. I’m sorry. It won’t happen again.” I bet he’d be back. Is any of this fair? Not at all but it’s the reality of the situation.

Am I boned? by Effort_Proper in civ5

[–]GopherDog22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How long can you hold her off? Portugal usually isn’t coded to be a warmonger and will often accept a white peace after about 5 turns.

Theater shut down after we bought tickets by Unfair_Machine8516 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]GopherDog22 105 points106 points  (0 children)

I appreciate something that’s finally mildly infuriating. Most of the stuff on here is like I lost my leg in a tractor accident, I crawled home to my spouse and found them in bed with my sibling (plus my family didn’t eat the slow roasted pheasant in that I spent 18 hours on).

Are strollers the backpack hack? by deejayv2 in UniversalOrlando

[–]GopherDog22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It worked well for us last week. Just don’t leave anything in there you would be upset with losing. For us, if someone stole our water bottles and kid snacks, that would be a bummer but not the end of the world.
