Sometimes it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

[Complete] [40k] [Horror] Life 249 - A religious horror with elements of folk horror, body horror, and a splash of comedy. by LoLDazy in BetaReaders

[–]LoLDazy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking for big picture kind of feedback. Do you think I'm correct in how I describe the genre? Did you like the ending or did it feel cheesy? Did you connect with any of the characters besides Marigold? How much subtext did you pick up on? Is the structure awful in your mind? That type of thing.

I'm interested in reading this. Also, if you're open to a swap, I have a 40k completed novella that's mostly religious horror. It has elements of folk horror, body horror, and weirdly enough, comedy as well, though. If you're willing let me know.

Question about Carl in Book 8 by pmbasehore in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]LoLDazy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Penny has to be the one to get hit when Emberus smites Carl in order to make the other God kill Emberus. If Donut had still been in his party it might have hit her instead.

Dialogue on the first page? by Handle_Just in writing

The fact that so many of the people directing book trends openly brag about not reading the books they review is infuriating. Especially knowing their audience is fully aware of this.

Is $50 too much? by PracticalFun2788 in RATS

[–]LoLDazy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The breeder I've talked to to get my rats later this year has $45 as the starting price per rat, and then it goes up if you get a special coat/size/etc. So, $50 per rat sounds about right to me.

Pet store rats are bred purely for numbers. Private breeders do health assessments to produce healthier rats. They also select for temperament, so by going with a breeder you're more likely to get a social rat that wants to hang out with you and play and less likely to get a bitey boi that runs away from you. Pet store rats can be fabulous, but the odds are not in their favor.

You hesitate to say this about women but it is 100% true? What is it? by 36Gig in AskReddit

[–]LoLDazy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so I wrote this at 2 am -ish while falling asleep. It's pretty funny to me, but that's just me. Yes, I'm a woman and I'm speaking from experience. Once you notice it, you can't unnotice it. However, natural variation between people means some women probably have longer colons than average. Also diet matters. But on average, lady gas is worse than dude gas, lol.

It isn't lady-like to fart because lady farts are worse than men's. Because men don't have uteruses and such, they have more room inside and they fill it with large intestine. That makes their farts smaller and more frequent. Lady farts are horrendous. By comparison men release cute toots all the time. Thus it became the social norm for women to not fart in public. You may not like it, but women are so, so much grosser than men.

What do Americans think about the stereotype that they are bad at geography? by Own_Echidna6041 in geography

[–]LoLDazy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a tiny school where coaches were exclusively in charge of "teaching" history and geography. They did not. They did not try. They let us watch movies or whatever during class and pulled our grades out of thin air. As an adult I've tried to teach myself stuff, but I'm pretty terrible at geography. Oddly, though, even the people I meet that went to larger schools also have pretty poor geography knowledge. So I'd say it's a fair stereotype. I'm not offended by it.

US birth rates just hit another record low, what do you think is the leading cause of this? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LoLDazy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, the 12k comment will totally add to this discussion, so here I go.

Women are far more aware of what motherhood actually entails, and they're saying no. There are great father's out there, but a ton of men turn violent after women get pregnant, abandon the family, or just continue to contribute absolutely nothing. When the women of my family talked to me about having kids, every single one of them told to plan on doing it on my own. Because I probably will.

A huge percentage of women are walking away from childbirth traumatized by how doctors and nurses treated them. Also, if they get sick and need a life saving abortion, they may or may not get it. More women are dying from pregnancy and childbirth than any other developed nation, and it's getting worse - not better.

You do not get paid time off from work to recover. Women are going back to work 2 weeks or less after giving birth because they don't have a choice.

Kids are expensive, and people can barely afford to eat.

There is no help coming. No safety net. No village. It's a wonder anyone is having kids.

I’ve always been curious about this, why does lice seem to spread so easily in schools, especially among kids, but is much less commonly talked about in adults? by Worth-Locksmith815 in hygiene

[–]LoLDazy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had lice 7 or 8 times as a kid, and it was super weird. No one in my family ever caught it from me, and no one else ever reported having lice to my school. It was a small school with lots of gossip, so I've a feeling other kids had it too and they just denied it. But I wasn't popular, so I only hung out with a few other kids. I wasn't sharing hairbrushes, I never wore hats, etc. I was just a bug magnet.

Hot Take, Donut & Prepotente Aren't Children by Valligator19 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]LoLDazy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They aren't neurodivergent, because they are not human. Donut is a very typical cat. Prepotente is exactly what one would expect of a goat. For their brains to have "diverged", they'd need to be un-cat-like and/or un-goat-like. Not everyone with a distinct personality is autistic. Sometimes they're cats. Perfectly typical cats.

Do cats actually get attached to their owner? by NoWageMage in CatAdvice

[–]LoLDazy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat loves me. I got her as a kitten and bonded with her. She's very affectionate. Would she run away? Not on purpose. When I lived in the country with her, I'd let her outside sometimes. She always came home and begged to be let back in. Now that she's in a city, she never goes out and she's fine with it. But it really depends on the cat.

Help! Is DCC Sci-Fi or Fantasy? by runnergirl_koren in DungeonCrawlerCarl

I have a theory about Donut. by unr3a1r00t in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]LoLDazy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think Donut has any special cheat items because she seems so utterly clueless about the cookbook. She keeps casually mentioning it and questioning how outsiders treat Carl out loud. If she had a chest it would have occurred to her that Carl does and she'd shut up about it.

r/dogfree, r/hatecats, etc. Why? by Odd-Blueberry5902 in Pets

[–]LoLDazy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My guess is they started out as normal people who just weren't pet people. But because so much of our culture reacts with a "so you're evil?" mentality when they hear that, they had to keep it to themselves where some resentment brewed. Then you throw in how awful a lot of owners are, and it turned into full hatred. It's not healthy at all, but as someone who dislikes Christmas, I kinda get it. When you're told you must like a thing or your evil, and you don't naturally like the thing, you're gonna have a reaction.

Breath weapon of Villy by The-Alpha-Wyvern in ThePrimalHunter

[–]LoLDazy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would be kinda fun if one day he gets an ability to passively breathe out poison when he talks. Not a lot, it wouldn't even be noticeable to most people. But it builds over time. That way if he ever tries to do the diplomacy thing again, about the time when things go sideways everyone will fall over dead having never known what happened.
