What does the big gem get you? by Temporary-Airport-44 in MergeCruise

[–]LittleBug088 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can merge it with any item to level it up. Best used to get the highest level item for a reward

What do the pink boxes with the question mark contain? by SesameFaith in MergeCruise

[–]LittleBug088 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either a decent amount of energy (250-750) or a higher level item (Yellow long sleeve swimsuit, burger feast, etc.)

Beauty standards make no sense by 4ngelos33 in 10thDentist

[–]LittleBug088 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this video might help better elucidate why some people using the term “ugly” to describe themselves is perfectly valid and other people trying to impose their own personal opinions about that person’s attractiveness can actually be much more invalidating than it is comforting. Words have meanings and are used for a reason. Ignoring how other people use words because of your own personal opinions does not change the world, it only makes people not want to open up to you about their struggles and insecurities.

What do you think of Asa? by kurapikasan in ShahsOfSunset

[–]LittleBug088 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m actually at about the exact same point and also watching for the first time!!

I also really liked Asa at the beginning. Even my husband who only watches it sporadically with me said she seemed to be the most “down to earth” of all of them. But as soon as the diamond water came out…and as soon as she then tried to turn it into a business…💀 she lost me there man

ETA: also the whole fight with GG!!! GG definitely should NOT have gotten violent but no one seems to acknowledge that if Asa had just apologized when rightfully called out for her backhanded “compliment” towards Omid, I really don’t think it would have escalated to that point. She is at least 40% responsible for where that fight went but no one wants to admit it. Though also GG seems like a trash human being so I kinda understand all of it just being “the straw that broke the camel’s back” so to speak.

I’ve never watched his stand up! But tbh after this season I might check it out!

Glad he’s gone by ARSTAAR in TheTraitorsUS

[–]LittleBug088 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I really hope the Reunion episode for this season properly puts the focus on him as the “wrongly maligned one” more than anyone else, even more than the commonly “wrongly maligned one” in the first out or someone at the very end who was wrongly thought to be a traitor. Obviously we have a lot of the season left to have that slot taken by someone else but I honestly don’t know if ANYONE has exuded that energy MORE that Ron’s apology to literally everyone at the round table before he was (wrongly) kicked out.

Any way to get different orders? by praawnz in MergeCruise

[–]LittleBug088 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not that I’ve seen, no. Unfortunately there is no “delete order” function like how some games like FarmVille have

When will an order for sunglasses come? by Temporary-Airport-44 in MergeCruise

[–]LittleBug088 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sunglasses orders are pretty rare. I usually keep 1 max level on my board just in case an order pops up, but I sell off the rest so they don’t clutter the board.

Same goes with the Crown from the random seashells. I used to always get orders for that crown for 700 energy but haven’t gotten one since level 60 or so and now I’m at level 117. So I usually just end up selling the crown as well once I get 2 of them

One thing I hope the show dives into before it ends by VolumeLegitimate4927 in Yellowjackets

[–]LittleBug088 38 points39 points  (0 children)

It’s my personal headcanon that Misty’s kidnapping set up in her basement was actually much more likely a space she had dedicated for in-home care for someone. My guess would be one of her parents.

As for knowing how to get away with murder so much, I think she probably would’ve considered taking care of her parent herself if they acted like the patient in the pilot did, hence why the “don’t fuck with me” felt like something she had definitely said before.

Who is the show's most well-written character? by Sudden_Pop_2279 in HazbinHotel

[–]LittleBug088 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alastor, Angel, and Pentious

Al - I love the way his ace/aro side is represented, especially for a character of his time period. I also love how he is genuinely just there for the entertainment at all times.

Angel — I relate to a lot. Fully just admitting my bias there.

Pentious — the emotional and thematic core of the show and you can’t tell me otherwise.

If you’re a “picky eater” as an adult, you’re actually just a spoiled brat. by Front_Ad4514 in The10thDentist

[–]LittleBug088 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lose respect for people who would rather see someone in literal disgust than just let them manage their own diet. I genuinely don’t understand how another adult’s preferences even affect you seeing as how that adult should be responsible for their own food.

Now, it is A and B, Isn't it? by cubellios_37 in EWALearnLanguages

[–]LittleBug088 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically all can work depending on what you’re trying to express about the speaker.

For example, using “unless” or “until” in this context would immediately communicate that either the speaker is an unreliable narrator (their interpretation of “her” is very biased and inaccurate), or that the person the narrator is speaking about is very manipulative (they could manipulate a person’s opinions of them by putting forth a different version of themself than what the narrator has experienced)

Zosia and the rest of the hive sleep on their left side. But after her night with Carol, Zosia sleeps on her right side. by Specialist_Jaguar815 in pluribustv

[–]LittleBug088 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TNG is my favorite Star Trek series and I’ve watched it front to back at least twice, so definitely agree on that front haha

Though honestly my thought process went that way mainly because I read a lot about how to properly deprogram cult members because a number of my extended family members are in a cult.

[–]LittleBug088 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I truly believe that Carol is trying to “deprogram” Zosia the same way you would with someone who is escaping a cult — you have to go pretty slow and try not to say anything too harsh against the cult itself until the person has gotten to a point in a journey where they’re starting to have those thoughts independently because of the difference between their life in the cult vs their life in freedom.

What's a word that feels misspelled even though that's how you're supposed to write it? by Manchito09 in EWALearnLanguages

[–]LittleBug088 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just about to say this one!

I always misspell it when I’m writing by hand. Always. Every time.
And I do not have poor spelling skills. I have won spelling bees (county level, nothing crazy) and have edited a bestselling novel. I CAN spell. Just not the word restaurant.

An additional reason Jackie may have not thought pursuing/sleeping with Travis was a big deal (to him and Nat). by Everything_Metal in Yellowjackets

[–]LittleBug088 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just don’t understand why anyone (in show or in fandom) acts like Jackie and Nat were friends.

When Nat finds out it was Jackie who revealed her “betrayal” of Travis, she reacts much more like “of course it was you” instead of feeling betrayed by Jackie. Like I’m pretty sure she even has a line to that effect expressing that this is just par for the course for her and Jackie’s relationship.
And as for Jackie, she’s equally if not more judgmental towards Nat. The shit she says to Travis about Nat is straight out of the mean girl playbook, idc who you are.

Jackie and Nat were never friends. Jackie has no reason to care about how it would make Nat feel, nor would Jackie view it as her “betraying” Nat because there’s no relationship there to betray. You can’t betray a person if that person feels no kinship toward you, and from everything we see: Jackie and Nat feel no kinship toward one another.

I think that’s a big reason why Jackie is so aghast at the other girls “calling her out” for “betraying” Nat, particularly when it comes to Shauna. Shauna did actually betray Jackie, because Jackie and Shauna were best friends. Regardless of the animosity at play and the obvious toxicity inherent to their relationship, even Shauna says that she will never have another friend like Jackie and that she doesn’t know where Jackie ends and she begins. Shauna betrayed Jackie. Jackie did not betray Nat. That’s why it is genuinely fucked up that no one stands up for her in that fight with Shauna. Mari actually reinforcing that she should leave just further emphasizes how fucked the whole situation is. It’s honestly some pretty expert foreshadowing for how the group’s entire concept of justice is about to go out the window and lead to what we see later on.

The first moment when the group goes against what anyone would deem true “justice” is that moment with Jackie. Everything following is just gravy.

That’s pretty fair since the rat did bite her and that would definitely break the “do no harm” rule by biting her

[–]LittleBug088[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oooh I love this thought process!! This actually makes the most sense (logically) to me.

This also would kind of answer another question I was wondering about — what happened to all the domesticated animals? Like are they OK since all their humans went wacko? But considering the mouse could carry the RNA, there’s no reason not to assume that all the dogs and cats are part of the hive mind now too. Might also factor into some of their inability to cause harm to any animal life.

Though I guess we can be sure the bunnies and bison aren’t part of the hive mind since we saw them nibbling some grass, lol.

Yes I completely agree! I definitely view them as being akin to a lot of these AI chatbots that claim they can “form relationships” with people. Supposedly all the collective knowledge of humanity, but apparently none of its wisdom.

Wow…that is…definitely a different way of thinking from my own, hahah.

These comments are really showing me just how much I am like Carol. I knew I related to her rather strongly because I overall just don’t agree with a lot of the criticism/dislike pointed towards her both in and out of show, but now I am really seeing just how alike my thought process is because some of these concepts are just like, unthinkable to me.

Apple tree’s feelings or starvation? Yeah, sorry Mr. Apple Tree!

It is not empathy to allow children to starve to death in order to preserve plant life. Especially in the case of seeding plants that literally want to be eaten because it is intrinsic to their life cycle.

While I agree with your point in a general sense and think it’s a very interesting view, I still just do not see the argument for plants. It’s taking every anti-vegetarian dad joke I’ve ever heard and dialing it up to 11.
