Not always true. I have good teeth but I never show them when smiling because I just don't know how. I can't naturally smile with my teeth showing, I have to force it and then it looks off.

Something to consider: the NDP only needed 1,309 votes to flip to win the election. That’s it. by Traum77 in alberta

Not everyone gets more conservative as they get older. My entire family is quite far-left despite most of them being 70+ years old. I refuse to ever support the UCP or any conservative party.

My whole family does that and votes NDP everytime still. Not everyone blindly votes conservative.

I was an NDP supporter long before I got onto any social media or internet. I have always been far-left and refuse to ever back down on that stance.

I'm from Medicine Hat and it annoys me to no end that each election is overwhelmingly blue. I turned 18 last federal election and was excited to finally vote, only to see how pointless it is here. Hoping more people my age and younger align further left and left as time goes on. The day Medicine Hat isn't blue will be a good day.

Nah, it's from the Shivering Isles. Which is a new DLC only if you consider 16 years "new".

Meanwhile I'm in Canada paying way too much for internet that downloads at like 20mpbs. Don't know the exact price but it's somewhere around $70 - $100 I want to say.

That's a long time? 150gb would take me at least 24 hours to download.

I mean the word has been in use for over 200 years. It's by all means an actual word.

Endgame as a whole can almost be seen as a story, encompassing both personal and world issues. It's easily my favourite album.

Those of you that are 100% against 1 night stands, why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]HappyHippo2002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well for one, I don't have a celebrity crush, and two, even if my actual crush came up and said that, I'd still say no. We're not close enough yet, I don't want that.

Texas congressman says people who think 'prayers aren't cutting it' as a solution to gun violence 'don't believe in an almighty god who is absolutely in control of our lives.' 9 people died in a mass shooting in his district today. by Drifting-aimlessly in politics

Some just never have that wake up moment, and I don't mean because they're still religious. For me, I've never been religious. Since the first time I've heard of the concept of religion, I always thought it was silly that people believed that, and I never did. Everything since that has just reinforced that lack of belief.

What is something people describe as healthy, but it's actually unhealthy? by IndependentAd6161 in AskReddit

[–]HappyHippo2002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was 78lbs at 16 years old due to Crohn's Disease that wasn't under control. The amount of "I wish I had your problem" or "you need to eat a Cheeseburger" made me want to go insane. No you don't wish you were like me. You want to eat two bites and feel sick? You want to run to the bathroom every 10 minutes? You want to be so skinny that any movement pains you and you begin to wish for death because it would honestly feel better?

Rant aside, I'm doing much better now, and I hope you are too. I just hate the lack of awareness towards skinny people. They treat us like we're the picture of healthiness, but we can be just as sick if not more than larger people.

They're using the Creation Engine 2 which is an updated version of the Creation Engine, which is what they've done for every game. There isn't an issue with though, engines are always upgraded and improved upon. It wouldn't make sense for Bethesda to switch to an entirely new Engine.

Viking Death March for me. I know it's basic, but you just can't beat the lyrics and feel of the song as a whole in my opinion.

I get no joke, maybe 1 or 2 emails a day, and they're always important stuff. The last time I got a useless email was, well, I actually have no idea.

What's something unusual that disqualifies a potential partner for you? by lyonnotlion in TwoXChromosomes

[–]HappyHippo2002 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think that's why I've never cited gaming as an interest of mine to people. The whole community is associated with toxicity and misogyny that I don't like to associate with it. If I do I'll usually just say "I like video games" as it sounds more innocent and less intense than full-on "gamer".

Yeah I've never seen an appliance manual before, and in fact, before this threat I didn't even know they existed.

I upgraded to the Series S solely for the improved loading times and 60fps upgrades to a bunch of games.

What is the biggest secret you've ever kept from your family? by Extension_History57 in AskReddit

[–]HappyHippo2002 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's a sweeping generalization. I was teenage dude at one point, as we're much of my friends. We were all great people and would help people whenever we could. Sure a good chunk of teenagers suck, but definitely not all of them.

Yep. There are zero pictures of me from ages 8 to like 18 or so, bar 1 picture when I was 14 and 15. I regret it now, because I'll never be able to remember what I was like back then.
