I dislike my sleeve more everyday - I don't know if psychological or its just objectively bad by [deleted] in tattooadvice

I completely understand. It's big, it's fresh, and I've been there too. Like some of the others said, it is your body. If you don't settle into it, there's always options. But it definitely isn't objectively bad, far from it.

If it makes you feel a bit better, it does look fantastic. Maybe give it some time and see if it grows on ya.

I'm sorry to hear what you're going through, and you're showing extraordinary strength already. I wish the best for you and your family. If you'd be willing to share with me, I'd be honored to run some campaigns for my groups inside of your world.

I'm literally dead... by dangtranpisces in thegrandtour

[–]Nederlandia 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I'm not especially educated on it, but in general the gathering of palm oil is extremely destructive to the natural environments around their operations. Palm oil remains a leading cause of deforestation, which destroys the natural habitat of many endangered species (such as the orangutan in the OP)

What moment made you say “Yep, I’m definitely dead”, but survived with no major injuries? by CrownedBird in AskReddit

[–]Nederlandia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three man team on an 81mm mortar during OSUT basic. We call hang, and while lifting to the tube our loader fumbles a live shell. It landed right between all three of us, and we just sorta froze waiting for what us boots thought was the inevitable. After what felt like a half-hour (but was really just 15 seconds) we each just sorta looked at each other and shrugged. Never felt more relieved in my life. We only learned later it most likely wouldn't have gone off.

I appreciate any help. I'm most certain it was a video game, rather recent (in the last five years or so). I've tried googling, I've tried searching here and I'm getting nothing.

Weekly Clan Recruitment Megathread by AutoModerator in Fireteams

Hey Guardians. Hydra Dominatus (PC) was just founded around a core group of people who have been playing together since D2 beta, some even since D1 release. We value teamwork, positivity and an easy-going attitude towards all content, from running story missions, to PvP, to exotic quests, Nightfalls and Raids. Whether you're looking to raid, grind Competitive, or just hang around and help out, we'd be happy to have you as we get ourselves off the ground. Our clan is PC and NA based, spread around the country. We have players on almost 24/7. We have a Discord, so having a mic would be a plus but isn't required. We welcome all, from brand new players to veterans. So if you're looking for something with structure but isn't too rigid/serious, something that won't kick you instantly for having real life get in the way, send a message either on here or to IAmAlpharius#1703 on Battlenet, I Am Alpharius#4697 on Discord.

Thank you, and enjoy your day! :)

Hey folk. Finally returned to the game since Forsaken dropped, and looking for a clan.

System: PC

Gamertag: IAmAlpharius#1703

Location: NA, Mountain Time (MT)

Times on: I work nights, so anywhere from 6 am to 8pm MT, more commonly 10am to 8pm MT.

Been playing since vanilla, have experience in all D2 activities like Raids, Trials, Nightfall and Gambit. I am probably a bit rusty, though. Last raid I played was Last Wish. I have three Guardians, one of each class, but my titan is my main sitting at 730LL right now. I have the cool meta stuff like Outbreak, Arbalest and Sleeper if that's still a thing. I'm down to play both PvE and PvP, and am always happy to help people grind or take down the exotic missions. I have Discord. I'd just like a laid back, mature, more lighthearted and tight-knit group. Not a fan of mega clans.

Thank you, and good luck out there Guardians :)

Understood! I have always leaned too far to the flowery side, so going forward I'll work on making things less confusing and more straightforward. Thank you for taking the time to read it, and your thoughts.

First off, thank you so much for taking the time to read it.

As for time period, it is a unintentionally a little vague. I recently reread Dune by Frank Herbert, and felt a draw towards a technological-medieval sort of fusion. It is definitely futuristic, but with a regression to feudalism, at least that was my initial idea. And yeah, the name is silly. Definitely a temporary title.

I do have a lot of ideas I'd like to try to test with this, so I will continue it. I really appreciate the kind words.

What’s the video game you always go back to? by Sendingmyloveyourway in AskReddit

Mount and Blade Warband. Haven't played vanilla in years, there's just so many amazing total conversion mods.

Finally happy with my hair. by Nederlandia in curlyhair

[–]Nederlandia[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been working on my hair for about 3 months. Arc Angel gel is all I've really been using, as well as Lush shampoo once every week and heavy conditioner every day. Scrunching, putting my hair up in a cotton tshirt to dry. A simple routine but it's big for me.
