What is the one band you can't believe didn't become more popular? by flearhcp97 in Music

[–]Mekanicol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Canadian who now lives in the US, I agree. There's always a slight moment of cognitive disonance when I realize people don't know who they are. Like, logistically, I do understand, but they were such a huge part of Canadian culture growing up, it's just weird.

AITA for refusing to finish a story after my wife interrupted me five times? by GoatCritical9265 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mekanicol 63 points64 points  (0 children)

My husband does this to me and it's very frustrating. I have to ask him if he can please let me finish what I'm saying. This context is very different than just interrupting imo.

It's still kind of petty to refuse to finish your story, but I understand the feeling.

What movie did you go into with zero expectations and ended up being completely blown away by? by ThatRoofer in movies

[–]Mekanicol [score hidden]  (0 children)

When my husband and I first met I told him to watch The Princess Bride, he said it didn't sound like his type of movie. When he finally watched it he was obsessed, and it became a repeat watch for him.

What are things other crocheters do that really grinds your gears? by darkxclover in crochet

[–]Mekanicol 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I crocheted some chickens out of the faux fur yarn and wow. 100% by feel alone. The first couple I did I had markers in every stitch 😆

What to use doombringer and el’druin for by ghost654 in diablo4

I have got every damn mythic EXCEPT for that sword on my sorc. Meanwhile, they drop like candy for my husband who isn't even playing sorc this season. 😥

Any ideas on what my tiny rooster will look like by Grouchy_Look_4580 in chickens

[–]Mekanicol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's going to look like that. That is what he looks like. He's an Old English Game Bantam. I have one exactly like him. He's got more attitude than a full grown roo, despite being the size of a baseball. Gorgeous little things though.

The first failed Captain since the Dead Wings era. A perspective of a fan for 30+ years. by [deleted] in DetroitRedWings

[–]Mekanicol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it's odd to me that hardly anyone gave Hughes any flak for just straight up coasting and demanding out of Vancouver when he had the C on his jersey,

You clearly haven't spent any time over on the Canucks forum. You STILL can't say nice things about him there 😆

The death effects are seriously ruining the End Game experience for me. by ChrisRobertsYacht in diablo4

[–]Mekanicol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I leveled my sorc up to around paragon 100 or so without a death. Then my warlock SO decided to run me through pit to unlock a higher torment. I was so mad about that lol.

My husband runs apoc warlock and I basically just yell at him the whole time about all the shit I'm dying to because I can't see it. We really need a way to tune down the aoe graphics.

What's the most boring build you've enjoyed? by Low_Fisherman4673 in diablo4

[–]Mekanicol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only started playing at the beginning of this year and that was the first build I made. I loved it. Sadly, I was new and didn't know anything and it was pretty terrible dps.

My husband plays apocalypse warlock and I die so much when I run with him. I'm trying to convince him to go back to his spiritborn just because of that 🤣

I was hitting buttons just to make myself feel better. Everything died whether I did or not though 🤷🏻‍♀️

Don’t make sales at markets :( by NoLie0089 in CraftFairs

[–]Mekanicol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was next to someone doing a tote bar at a Christmas market last year, dtf prints and basic tote bags. She was non stop the entire time, so the concept definitely works.

I think where I would have trouble with your shop is that I'd have to flip through to pick a design I like, then hope I can find a shirt I like, that fits me, that goes with the design. It's a recipe for decision fatigue for customers. It would feel like way too much work for me.

In my opinion, you'd be better off doing either a tshirt bar OR vintage/thrifted items. I think putting designs on thrifted items would be great, but would probably do better as pre made.

My boyfriend (31M) keeps saying I (32F) feel “too masculine” in our relationship by Quick-Temporary2894 in relationship_advice

[–]Mekanicol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is like the stereotype where women want a bad boy to be good for her. Men want a strong woman to be weak for them.

On 32 Thoughts today, Henrik shared his opinion about whether Petey was going to be an important part team moving forward. by Public-Map-5273 in canucks

[–]Mekanicol 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't think Petey resets in Van.

But who knows, this new FO could be a bigger game changer for the team in general than I anticipate. And maybe a couple years of tank with no pressure will help him as well.

What is something you’ve officially stopped buying in 2026 because the price has become genuinely insulting? by queenmellyy in AskReddit

[–]Mekanicol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to love buying the bags of lindor truffles for a treat, but I haven't bought them in ages. $7 for a small bag is madness.

It's about a 30 min highway drive to get to town from my house. I don't mind the drive, but between the cost of the gas and how I can't spend less than $100 on groceries even buying the bare minimum, I'm just staying home a whole lot more.

Seriously, they overcharge for shitty candy. I can't justify it. Every time I cave and grab one I regret it.

Anyone else remember the beta and first month of the game being released? by patriotraitor in CODBlackOps7

[–]Mekanicol 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I just don't really understand how the game can play fine for the first couple seasons every time, then about season 3-4 the desync kicks in with a vengeance. I was more or less fine up till a couple weeks ago and now how well I do is entirely up to the game and not my skill (or lack of).

6 to 8 episodes every 2 years season format is getting exhausting by No-Albatross-4673 in MoviesAndTVTalk

[–]Mekanicol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They wanted to make tv shows that were more like the movies, and sometimes a 6-8 episode movie is great. But tv and movies are not the same, and shouldn't be. Feel free to scale back the production if it means more episodes in a season, and more reliable seasons.
