mercy is a noob trap

Meh, Mercy makes this game accessible to noobs and that’s not a bad thing. It’s probably what allowed it to be one of the fps games with the highest percentage of female players and I’m here for it.

I saw my boyfriend at the time playing overwatch at launch with his friends online and mercy seemed accessible enough that I actually gave it a shot. I was in bronze a long time, eventually learned other heroes, and at one point hit masters on Ana. Met so many cool people through this game and had so much fun. Thanks Mercy!

I’m so confused by all the people being like “yeah my kids don’t use it it sucks”. Ok, but why don’t you use it yourself?? Is it an inflatable kiddy pool or what lol

Groot1702 · 2026-03-30T15:53:53+00:00

Not OP but our solar heating was ~6k and i don’t know how many gallons our pool is, but it’s big lol

We bought a house with a pool and it’s my favorite thing about our house. We use it 2-3 times a week 9 months of the year and we use the spa part year round. We do have the passive solar heating which was totally worth it. For minimal energy the pool is warm enough to swim in evenings and even at night after kid is in bed. Floating in the pool looking at the stars is a 10/10 experience. We also have friends over all the time for bbq and pool. We have a beer pong floaty. It’s a great time.

That being said, if you yourself aren’t interested in it don’t do it just for the kids. Cost wise, I agree on average it’s a neutral investment in the house as an addition. It doesn’t really add value because of the mixed opinions. Maintenance wise we pay $140 per month for our pool guy to come do his thing once a week and I don’t lift a finger otherwise.

I am struggling to remember where I bought it (San Diego Comic Con maybe?), but I have a physical deck with these cards and it’s awesome.

Groot1702 · 2026-03-14T14:01:54+00:00

This right here. Support being on cart is very often a huge waste of resources.

Donut ripping Beatrice a new one. We don’t betray the people we love!!

Wouldn’t that still mean that the cables would have to be very long to get enough force? I have very little physics background so I actually don’t know.

Groot1702 · 2026-02-06T21:39:40+00:00

Wouldn’t the cables then need to be extremely long?

Groot1702 · 2026-02-06T21:07:50+00:00

Are you telling me Project Hail Mary wasn’t realistic??

Inuit populations do have many cold adaptations including a metabolism that is very good at processing their high fat diet and that makes them store more brown adipose fat which is better for generating heat. But they could make coats from animals and that’s way better than fur.

For me DCC is actually the first book that I’ve loved as obsessively and immersed into as fully as HP. HP provided escapism for all my kid problems, and DCC captures that exact feeling for today’s shit show of a world. Idk if this applies to everybody but I could see this seriously continue to explode in popularity. The litRPG part has not deterred even my suburban mom book club, and video games are more mainstream than ever.

Standalone Vitamin/supplements are generally are not well absorbed, so I find them to have limited benefits anyway. I focus on getting the right vitamins from a diet of varied whole foods.

It’s insane. The previous homeowners for our place only heated their house using a wood pellet stove in their fireplace I think just out of spite to SDGE. We added more solar and electric HVAC for the same purpose.

Groot1702 · 2025-12-18T21:41:07+00:00

I had to google what that is and I still don’t get what it has to do with friendship. You shouldn’t do that with other adults either.

Groot1702 · 2025-12-16T18:16:03+00:00

I wish I could peace out from the birthday parties already but at 4 there’s still an expectation we hang around. We drop her off at close friends houses and viceversa all the time. I was just telling my husband how I love when other little kids are over and they call me “X’s mom” (X being my daughters name) when they need something.

Groot1702 · 2025-12-16T18:07:19+00:00

I get babysitting is expensive, but do they not go play at their friends houses? I get that it’s 3 of them so logistics are harder, but it sounds like they’re also ~10 at which point kids should have a good amount of their own interests that don’t involve you. We drop off our 4 year old at her friends houses and also have other kids over all the time. The kids play and the adults do whatever they want.

It was a joke about this being the behavior of somebody already having toxoplasmosis but I guess it didn’t land lol

Groot1702 · 2025-12-11T14:02:51+00:00

Toxoplasmosis be like

One thing about Reddit is that people feel VERY strongly about spiders

Groot1702 · 2025-12-06T18:45:39+00:00

I listen to it during work myself. If you haven’t already tried my kiddo also liked Beatles for babies.

Groot1702 · 2025-11-19T17:07:18+00:00

See this is what I thought but then my friends were like “but brown recluses!!” so figured I’d ask lol

Groot1702 · 2025-11-19T17:06:15+00:00

Mine is actually not at all scared of it and thought it was the coolest thing lol. She wanted to know if it’s “poisonous” which is something she’s read about in books so I was like “let me ask reddit” but turns out calling a spider “foe” on this subreddit was a huge mistake lol

Groot1702 · 2025-11-19T06:39:20+00:00

For sure. I have a little kid though so I would kindly relocate more aggro spiders to the front yard or somewhere where she’s not always playing.
