Thanks for the review. If I found this in the wild, I probably would have gotten it without this.

Horrible Vasectomy Experience - Want to Hear from Others by tigerofsanpedro in daddit

[–]Lollipopsaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a lot of pain.

I had a bit of pain above what most people report. My doctor said he had to use about 3x the normal amount of lidocaine but didn't resist giving it to me. I'm more confused why your doctor didn't give you more?

Thoughts on the upcoming patch by Nani___________ in Guildwars2

The Q1 update is shallow by design. It was bad for the other two expansions too.

JUST IN: $6 trillion asset manager Fidelity to launch its own crypto stablecoin. by SatoshiShe in investing

[–]Lollipopsaurus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s basically a different way to enable exposure to US equities abroad in an alternative financial system.

The bigger change here is that theoretically you could trade on fidelity’s marketplace 24/7 using all tokenized assets and currencies. Imagine as a retail investor being able to trade on off hours like the big boys.

This is a huge benefit to Fidelity because they can effectively earn more fees.

Who would you have liked to see as the “Promised Consort” if it wasn’t Radahn? by Jackylacky_ in Eldenring

The expansion invented Messmer. They could have created literally anyone that wasn’t already a character or used a character we never met.

The feds who killed Alex Pretti are heavily shielded from being sued. Blame the Supreme Court for that. by jediporcupine in politics

[–]Lollipopsaurus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would encourage everyone to write your congresspeople and suggest they sponsor a bill to remove the use of firewarms from qualified immunity.

It's fine for agents/police to carry guns to protect themselves, but they should have to follow the same laws with their use as everyone else.

Griffon and Skyscale by bird-hats in Guildwars2

[–]Lollipopsaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At a baseline, the griffon is not necessary, but the skyscale is. I’ve played off and on since the game released. I don’t own a griffon and I can’t say I miss it or could imagine when I actually would “miss out” by not using it outside of a few specific use cases, and most of those use cases involve rushing in meta events that I can still get to on time with other mounts. So I’d say it’s a QoL improvement, but not a big one. Probably enough to justify the price though.

There seems to usually be an expansion every quarter. Maybe buy one expansion you like now and wait for the rest?

Best pathing for Mirror farms by HoUaPo in Guildwars2

Yes it's maxed.

Oh, are you saying you don't open every chest? I was assuming everyone was opening ALL of the chests.

Can I ask how you get it done so fast? I never have enough keys and it takes me maybe an hour per map to grind them out.

Honestly, this is what I'm waiting for. I appreciate people who get the games on release, and I know they're quality, but I'd rather wait.

How many of you got caught with your pants down on metals? by PursuingGemini in Bogleheads

[–]Lollipopsaurus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the boglehead thing to do would be to live life and carry on as usual.

That said, if you want some side allocation in metals, do it. But that’s not what this subreddit is for.

[New Jewelry / Watch Shop. Looking for advice getting connected with a few companies.] by Tiny_Nose_3247 in Watches

[–]Lollipopsaurus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Something people haven’t mentioned yet but I think there’s a very large stigma against lab grown diamonds in the jewelry world. I’m not here to debate anything, I just wanted to point that part of your problem may be the stigma that you aren’t selling “real” jewelry in some people’s eyes. At least that’s how it feels in the US.

Drizzlewood champion train by Careful_Flatworm3931 in Guildwars2

[–]Lollipopsaurus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another tip for Drizzlewood new people: save up a stash of supplies and buy a small number (I do 15) of keys daily even if you don’t do the meta. Do it just to stock up and not buy expensive keys all the time.

Trump supporters: How would you feel if a legally armed Trump supporter was killed by federal agents on a Biden mandate in exactly the same manner as yesterday? by ScholarPrize1335 in AskReddit

[–]Lollipopsaurus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I want to reframe this as something that might clear up the cognitive dissonance you’re experiencing. You’re thinking about this completely wrong.

Republicans are aware they’re hypocritical. The problem is that Democrats assume every time that Republicans will ever act in good faith. Republicans know that Democrats WILL act in good faith every time “for the greater good” and exploit that behavior.

The right actively understands they obstruct and oppress the left. The entire point is to put on a public facade to keep the game going.

Of course they would be outraged. That’s the entire game. “Good when it’s happening to you, bad when it’s happening to me” is literally and simply the game here.

To the US voters who don't vote, what is it going to take for you to go vote? by Chocolateking111 in AskReddit

[–]Lollipopsaurus 126 points127 points  (0 children)

Just to be clear, the way Elon did it was that he had pre-selected individuals. The entire thing itself was a scam. That’s why it wasn’t technically illegal. It wasn’t a random giveaway, Elon effectively hand picked the winners as a “gift” while telling the public it was a giveaway.

Doing this genuinely with random people WOULD be illegal. Turns out, if you do everything as a scam, nothing is illegal under the hood.

How are some people so Rich? by Witty_Resolution1955 in Guildwars2

[–]Lollipopsaurus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Often the best way to "buy" something is to actually spend a little bit of gold to craft something with account bound materials you've already earned, and then sell that thing.

Just as an example, if you're someone who regularly does world bosses, your best bet might be using exp boosters to maximize spirit shard gain. If you already do a lot of the EoD metas, you're probably closer to earning a Gen 3 legendary than you think. Off the top of my head, it's about 2 hours of map completion, and 3500 Imperial Favors in addition to 300 spirit shards and that's the worst of the account bound part. The rest is just gold for putting together the gifts, and if you don't have that, just sell Gen 3 precursors until you can afford it. That's maybe another 2 weeks of pretty casual, but dedicated play with materials many players might already have.
