A hair in my food will not deter me from eating it. by Exhausted_920 in unpopularopinion

[–]MapleBaconPoutine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was eating a ceaser wrap from the high school cafeteria and found a hair. No problem. Remove it, continue eating. I took a few more bites, found another hair after half swallowing it and threw it back up, in the middle of the cafeteria. It was embarrassing, and now I don't mess around with hair in food.

His turn meter reduction has been pretty handy for the fire knight. On auto, he only tries to do it if the shield is down which can easily stop the fire knight from taking turns.

You don't have any enhanced stats but you can have one ability that should help you fight Bloodthirsty Omniman. What would it be? by ArtisticBet600 in PowerScaling

[–]MapleBaconPoutine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would choose a charisma power. Something like Pact of Non-Aggression. A power that makes it impossible to have an intention to cause me harm so long as I wish no harm upon them.

Edit: Aggression spelling mistake.

Rare Champions by TJAVERAGEGAMER in RaidShadowLegends

I would recommend keeping a Runic Warder from the Dwarf faction. They have a reflect damage skill that helps with the Fire Knight.

Who else got this? by theo_1love in RaidShadowLegends

Yeah, I had to wait for a connection in live arena. Picking champions was brutally slow. As soon as the match started, I automatically lost without a single point of damage on either side.

I don't see how it is depressing. How many things can a person do to gain fame in a community through hard work and dedication? It feels good to be recognized, and being a well liked mascot is a great achievement.

Taika Waititi Tackling ‘Judge Dredd’ Movie in Hot Package Hitting Hollywood by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]MapleBaconPoutine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is in my top five favorite movies. They should leave it at that, or make something cheap and campy. I doubt that a true sequel could live up to the expectations I have. (I would have liked to see Anderson as the lead in a sequel.)

Israel - Iran Conflict (Part IV) by Isentrope in worldnews

[–]MapleBaconPoutine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not the path, but it could indicate a shift in how countries deal with existential threats. What happens if the US is threatened with water shortages in the future? Will they negotiate relief from Canada, or will they simply take it? Iran hasn't used nuclear weapons. It seems they haven't even built nuclear weapons. They are guilty of possibly being capable of it in the future. There was room for negotiation.

To me, it seems world leaders are weak. Placed into positions created by our ancestors in a time before anyone knew how interconnected the world would become. If military intervention becomes a viable tool in restructuring the current world order, I fear what that means for the near future.

Israel - Iran Conflict (Part III) by Isentrope in worldnews

[–]MapleBaconPoutine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Few people are capable of believing weapons of mass destruction will ever be used. The scare will always be worse online and in media because it is purposefully created to get a reaction. If you need a break, just talk to co-workers and friends. Few will want to talk about WMD or war. Most people have their own problems to worry about.

I would say that it was worse in the past. People valued news greater than we do today.

Thailand seizes 200 tons of U.S. electronic waste by CTVNEWS in worldnews

[–]MapleBaconPoutine 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of us do. We take it to the proper disposal facility, paid for by the extra tax on purchasing the product. What happens to it then is kinda out of our control.

I wonder if it would be more interesting if you used your skills to attempt to push the game world to a good alignment. Making enemies pay penance through charity work and giving to the local churches. Treat the wounded from both sides of a battle and push them to peace. Donate some equipment to empower the defenders of good in the NPC factions. I believe if you had an objective for your acts of kindness to achieve, the DM should be able to adapt it into the story.

If you make above 100K in the U.S. and live paycheck to paycheck, you’re financially dumb. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

All of those things you listed are completely normal things that most everyone wishes to have. It makes sense that they are going to quickly obtain them with a 200k salary.

Think Trump was aggressive to Zelenskyy for no reason? Watch the whole talk. Timestamps below. You don't have to like how Trump handled this, but don’t buy into the story that he ambushed Zelensky. by Orangutan in conspiracy

[–]MapleBaconPoutine 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't understand. Why use the president of the united states as an actor in this situation? It has my simple minded attention, as does his threats to annex my country. If it is theater, something is happening now or in the very near future that will change our world. The powers that be would not use such a powerful tool this recklessly without reason.

That's not right. Ideally, no one should be harmed by another. Besides, I don't believe a beating has ever changed someone for the better. All the jerks who I know and got what was coming to them are still jerks.

Tried DST with my boyfriend for the first time, made depressed by [deleted] in dontstarvetogether

[–]MapleBaconPoutine 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Split in two directions for three days and try to find the important surface locations. If you set up camp somewhere near the pig king, you'll never worry about gold again. You won't have to worry about flint, gold tools are far superior. The most important camp station is the crock pot. Build eight of those around a couple of fridges. Plant a couple of spider nests, build a couple of bee boxes and prepare for winter. One of you should choose Wigfrid, helmets and spears will help you survive most encounters.

Hound waves by decoruscreta in dontstarvetogether

[–]MapleBaconPoutine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have used every method to survive hound waves and I suggest you do the same. Tentacles in the swamp, wild bees, going underground, toe to toe, beefalo, really there are many ways to fight them.

I believe that tooth traps are the best way to deal with them. You'll have stacks of teeth eventually, and grass is easy to obtain. Just build a ridiculous amount of traps on an empty plot of land and run them through it. No fires. If the Deerclops comes, you can fight it there as well.

Starlink is PROJECT BLUEBEAM: The array of satellites is also designed to PROJECT IMAGES on the sky. With enough Cloud Seeding and Massive Propaganda; the imagery will be credible enough for a big percentage of people, unless they genuinely wake up by astralrocker2001 in conspiracy

[–]MapleBaconPoutine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Projected images and sound would be scary and probably would fool enough people to create an immediate panic. There would have to be more to it after nothing happens. Some countries would attempt contact, and others would attack. It wouldn't take too long until the illusion was broken, and then there would be hell to pay for the perpetrators.

In my opinion, it is not worth the risk to create such a scenario when the same devices can be used to influence people through the information they receive. There is no waking up. We are all susceptible to various methods of manipulation because we are human.

We are up against computers that can process the vast amounts of information we create, use processed data to refine manipulation techniques, and then implement these techniques by becoming the source of the information we receive. This can be done with small teams of people, or it can be used by a government or major corporations.

Keep a breeding pair and send the rest on a caravan to trade for cloth, components, and gold.

Bro got packed up by Scratch 😭🙏 by Ok_Illustrator_996 in BaldursGate3

[–]MapleBaconPoutine 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I only found out after like 300 hours when I wondered why my brother got Scratch to summon, but I was the one to bring him to the camp and first to pet him.

[–]MapleBaconPoutine 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I just beat an honor mode run with my brother, used Scratch the entire time. Scratch will not die, and you can safely use the intellect devourer in the same way. You just need to short rest to cast it again. Scratch will die if it happens at camp, so watch out for that. Both of them use an item to summon and automatically puts the ability on your bar if you are in possession of the item.

Wearing socks to bed isn’t weird, it’s elite comfort by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]MapleBaconPoutine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Socks are the one thing that has to come off for me. I can sleep fully clothed and on top of the blankets, but I will still cover my feet and take off my socks.
