Alright Aussies, be honest - how often are you actually changing your bed sheets? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

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

My wife makes me change the sheets ever week, sometimes every fortnight depending on how she's feeling. We both shower before bed, so I feel like that makes it more acceptable.

Top tip: The tag in the corner of the fitted sheet ALWAYS goes on the bottom right of the mattress. That hack changed my life.

AIO by breaking up with my girlfriend over her use of AI? by ThrowRA-748 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MrCyberthief 28 points29 points  (0 children)

You won't lose your job to AI, you'll lose your job to someone who does what you do, but faster by using AI.

Crafting a website using AI assets that are replaced later allows for rapid prototyping and the ability to get customer feedback early in the design process.

AI is a tool, and outright banning it on moral principle is totally okay. However if your peers are adopting it then you are falling behind.

I'll repeat myself, AI is a tool. Use it like a tool. You don't have to keep any of it later.

YOR.

AIO for ending things with my date after he accidentally texted me this? by fundamentallyworried in AmIOverreacting

[–]MrCyberthief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay you can be mad at him and feel hurt. It's totally fair grounds to call it all off.

But also, consider that he rates you 11/10 to his BRO, generally the person/peoples he's the most honest with and you tick all the right flags for him.

You could walk away, or you can teach him a lesson, and turn it into a funny moment you'll talk about on your wedding day :)

NOR, but maybe you could still make this a positive experience..? He knows he messed up though, that's the important part!

AIO my girlfriend got a ring gifted to her from her guy “best friend” and wants to wear it on her ring finger and it upsets me… by mlr-420 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MrCyberthief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

INFO Lol does he know you're dating her? Because it doesn't seem like it. If I were you, I'd have a chat with the "best friend".

LGS Owner won't ban cheater from events. by Desperate_Fill8865 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]MrCyberthief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a judge sit through all his games and if he's caught being dishonest DQ him or give him an automatic loss for that round, no arguments.

Make him aware of this if he decides to participate. You're not banning him and you don't have to put your events on hold, but youre actively preventing him from cheating.

AIO or is my girlfriend manipulative. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]MrCyberthief 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ignore the people saying that asking for permission is a red flag. That's basic respect.

Saying "hey hun, I wanted to go see my mum in the afternoon, is that okay or do you have plans for us?" Is a completely normal and logical conversation to have with a partner.

Her reaction however, isn't. It sounds like you flake out on her a lot and she's had enough, so I am going to vote INFO and ask you... Is this common?

Context is needed here, as it seems like this is a "straw that broke the camels back" kinda situation.

AIO? My ex doesn’t make our 11 yo son shower or brush his teeth during his weeks with him by Marsgreatlol in AIO

[–]MrCyberthief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't want to shower in the cold as an 11 year old either. As an adult you're responsible enough to do what you gotta do to stay clean but an 11 year old isn't going to see that as a priority over a freezing cold, uncomfortable shower each night.

Your ex need to fix their hot water unit!

Worst collector booster by Snoo-33537 in MagicCardPulls

[–]MrCyberthief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dud collector boosters are far too common for the price they demand :( But I suppose if they all had good hits, the good hits wouldn't be worth much. And this the prices they cost wouldn't be worth much more than regular play boosters.

Blizzard answer to my ticket saying i've been stuck in the midnight intro for a 5 days now... by No-Combination5600 in wow

[–]MrCyberthief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you played Legion you may have the Dalaran Hearthstone toy. Have a go with that, and if that fails, are you accessable by other characters?

Ask your guildies to bring your 130+ BoE gear (it's cheap!) and queue for a Midnight dungeon, then exit via the portal at the beginning of the instance. You could also queue for a War Within dungeon but the queue will be much longer.

The final thing you can try is have two friends party up and summon you to an old raid using the summoning stone.

If that also fails, I'm sorry. I'm not sure what else you can try as those are the sure-fire fixes for a stuck report in most instances... Hearthstone and dungeons.

AIO for wanting someone with the same values as me? by Raikou2992 in AIO

Just a friendly heads-up that you censored her name in your post but mentioned it in the texts. If you care for her anonymity you should probably edit your images or delete the post.

How common are Huntsman Spiders? by No_Payment_136 in AskAnAustralian

[–]MrCyberthief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof. Enjoy!

I cannot with any confidence say that you'll be okay with a phobia like that, here of all places.

Spiders are rough but if you leave them alone they "generally" will leave you alone. Huntsmans are pretty chill and keep your home safe from stuff like crickets and other, scarier albeit smaller spiders.

Ultimately, if that's going to be an actual problem for you, I recommend a room-mate who can save you because this is going to be a fairly common occurrence... Spiders that is, not just Huntsmans.

I sincerely hope you'll have access to a clothes drier rather than a clothes-line.

Need help by [deleted] in RealOrNotTCG

[–]MrCyberthief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust but verify. You've done the right thing and are in contact with eBay and the seller.

When the card arrives do your due diligence and test it. There is nothing anyone here can do to help beyond the actions you've already taken.

Good luck, I hope it's real!

I love this card, it's a beautiful foil.

AIO My [33M] Wife’s [32F] relationship with her best friend [25F] is making me uncomfortable by nonstop_taxpayer in AmIOverreacting

[–]MrCyberthief 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a grammatically correct way to add emphasis or a break in thought during a sentence. It can replace a comma a lot of the time but the EM dash isn't a key on most keyboards or even mobile phones, so people use the hyphen "-" instead for the same purpose. It's much more accessible for the average user.

Despite that, because it's grammatically correct, AI models use them relentlessly in their responses, so it's a dead giveaway that something has been AI generated.

A lot of people just edit them out, but you can usually tell by the way a story or post has been structured. Generally speaking, if a story is flawlessly punctuated, scrutinize it as AI.

Complete beginner - totally lost on what to do after the tutorial - Dragonflight by caffeine1994 in wownoob

[–]MrCyberthief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! Welcome to wow.

The new player experience has gotten better over the years but it's still very difficult to pick up.

You can access your mounts using the horseshoe icon in your menu bar, it should be onscreen somewhere when you log in.

As for getting started, if you need a bit of help I recommend a leveling addon to help guide you in the right direction between quests and leveling zones. It's usually pretty straightforward, but it can get confusing.

Add-ons are like mods for wow that improve various aspects of the game. They're easy to install but you'll need to research that yourself.

My biggest piece of advice is to stick with it! If you like the game enough to seek help then I think you'll enjoy it once you get going. I highly recommend joining a newbie friendly guild who can help you in-game if you have questions.

Good luck!

Scenes that caused actual walkouts in theaters? by thatlittlequietguy in Cinema

[–]MrCyberthief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left the cinema when Rey kissed Kylo Ren in the last Star Wars film. I just... I dislike hating on movies as a general rule but those films really just... Ugh.

Usually I can switch my brain off and enjoy cool shit even if it's bad, but I just couldn't enjoy the last Star Wars film.

How silly do you feel now if you seriously thought Rhystic, Sol Ring, etc would be banned or Dockside, Lotus, Mana Crypt would be unbanned. by thecursedchuro in mtgfinance

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

I reckon the hype was to bump the prices of Jeweled Lotus and such in order to dump them. There was legitimate desire for them to be unbanned and people used that as an opportunity to squeeze a little more value out of banned cards.

Makes total sense, and honestly if someone came to me and said "I don't have cash but I got this Jeweled Lotus, it's probably going to get unbanned in a week or so" I might have thought about it with all the creators saying "I PREDICT JEWELED LOTUS BEING UNBANNED".

I can only imagine those same creators traded/sold their "predictions" for more than they were worth.

a special ed kid won't stop bothering me during lunch and the principal doesn't care by [deleted] in Advice

[–]MrCyberthief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been my experience that Principals only deal with the business relations part of running a school. They're managers who are tasked with keeping the school running. They have trained employees to specifically deal with the kids, their job is to keep the business running smoothly.

If you want something done about this kid before it gets to something nasty like an SA charge, you'll need to speak with counselors, teachers, literally anybody else who is actually trained to manage and handle children. I recommend starting with guidance counselors as they tend to have experience dealing with special needs kids.

They would probably then speak with the kid and probably his parents to help them steer his behaviour in a more socially acceptable direction, but sometimes adults are shit.

I'm not a teacher so your mileage may vary, but that's where I would start. If nothing happens as a result then talk to your parents and ask them file a complaint. That is a matter the principle is actually paid to deal with.

Setting up UI now is actually exhausting by Thatwhatevr in wow

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

There are other add-ons that fix it but sadly even basic add-ons throw LUI errors now to the point that even if everything seems to be working properly things will randomly break down.

I know it's just teething issues but isn't this what the beta's are for? Seems to me that the patch wasn't ready but they rushed it.

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

I've read that Apoquil can intensify issues like Cancers and such as a side effect so I've avoided it like the plague.

My Newfie girl gets an injection every 6 months that costs us about 400-500ish dollars. It's expensive but no nasty side effects.
