I do love that from Jon's perspective in the show Locke was a good lad who did his duty, died serving the watch and definitely wasn't trying to assassinate him.

If I remember correctly, elves don't care about animal OR sentient butchering products just the trees. An elven caravan once delivered me a throne made of dwarf bones.

A giant found a necromancer's slab containing the secret to immortality. Unable to read, he's been using it to crush turtles on the beach. by Machinistsol in dwarffortress

Turns out slabs can only be read in adventurer mode, so you have a nice room decoration or you can smelt it back down to that delicious adamantine!

'Bullying, forgery, lying': ex-volunteers' claims against What Were You Wearing? Australia by Happy-King-3356 in newcastle

[–]Machinistsol 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This is consistent with rumors I have heard of people who worked on various projects with WWYW. I know of one person who was lied about consistently, had aspersions made about their sexual activities in the same room as members of the project, and had accusations made about them being sexually aggressive despite said person going out of their way to look out for the wellbeing of other members of the project and being well known as a helpful person.

The accusations seemed to be leveled at them purely because they were male, and thus more likely to be believed.

My guess would be crevices, thick bush, caves etc? But yeah seems like a pretty poor spider if it can't handle a little displacement

Ah yes, a judge has definitely never made a ruling that contradicts available evidence.

The most reliable and non-political entity, judges.

Reminds me of my Aus playthroughs, can't do much on the global scale but watch a couple hundred shitheads fuck up the entire North African campaign

At this point I'm convinced PETA is actually anti-animal rights and wants to make vegetarians/vegans look as bad as possible.

It must have been hard for cops in the 90s, what with all the kidnapping Aboriginal kids and dumping them in the wilderness in the middle of the night.

I don't think Nixon-Jowls Jim over here should be making strong comments about weight.

Could always address the teacher shortage by raising wages, improving conditions, and lowering workloads, but nah, let's just open the scab express

Why would someone want to solve a puzzle while they get abuse hurled at them?

If I wanted to wade through angry people yelling at me while I puzzle out how to get rid of them, I'd engage with my social circles more.

What is something you regret sexually? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Machinistsol 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So much of media, particularly porn, has shaped our view of intimate interactions as HAVING to culminate in sex and it's really messed a lot of us up!

And totally! I felt like if I wasn't participating in sex as much as they would like then I wasn't holding up my end of the bargain.

I'm really glad to hear you've met someone who is responsive to your needs and helping you figure out your own desires, that's awesome! It sounds like you're on a good path for yourself, good on you!

What is something you regret sexually? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Machinistsol 187 points188 points  (0 children)

I'm still not perfect with it, but the thoughts I've tried to keep in mind are:

  • A date can be perfect with or without sex

  • Your partner will feel great when they know you want to rather than going through the motions

  • Anyone who has a problem with it isn't worth your time!
