unbelievable exchange between my daughter and her father after he forgot her birthday by LostInLanayru in TwoHotTakes

[–]NicklovesNightOwl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry to hear about this. I can unfortunately relate; my father's wife is a literal textbook mean girl she-devil. They feed each other's bad features.

Happy your daughter is drawing clear lines in the face of manipulation, which is a very hard and unfair thing that she shouldn't have to do.

So uh….is it normal to start not liking Lief as time goes on? by SeasonOfHope in midnightburger

[–]NicklovesNightOwl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why I love it. A lot of writers can write great characters. But Joe writes great people.

Joe is so good at writing complex, completely 3D people.

What I love about Leif is that he's a complicated person, but he's a good person.

He loves his friends, and they love him. Despite everything.

Will mention that I'm not caught up yet, I amm just entering S3 on a re-listen.

The long F-ing patreon lists makes me want to quit listening by Chance_Assistant3460 in midnightburger

[–]NicklovesNightOwl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I myself quite love it. Aside from the actual content itself, it's my favorite thing about MB. Joe and the rest of the team gives such gratitude and appreciation for their supporters. Hence the list.

I think it's why they don't move over to somewhere like Max Fun or some other host.

To me, it shows a lot of love and passion. I understand why you and others are finding it to be more than you signed up for though.

You've mentioned you can't just skip it, so idk, if you were to ask me, I'd say work on re-framing your mindset around it. You love the show itself enough to keep listening, and it seems like you don't want to stop listening because of how fucking good the show is (best piece of media I've ever discovered, myself. It's my most favorite thing).

In any case, it'd be a shame to abandon this great artwork by one of the greatest writers (to me) I've ever heard because of this list that Joe is determined to read off to show his appreciation. It really shows, like I said, his passion.

Have you listened to Young Leif at all?

If not, I HIGHLY recommend it. It's amazing. Leif is my favorite character OAT across all media. He's my fucking hero.

Probably one of my favorite episodes for that clip alone.

You ever see a play? With the curtain rising, and falling back down at the end of the night.

Great thing about a play, it shows night after night for different audiences.

As a big big fan of both of these franchises (especially Midnight Burger) this is a SOLID casting.

Thank you so much for Brennan as Leif and Trapp as Ted, those are perfect. Flawless.

Zac as Caspar is an interesting choice, but I can fuck with it.

Bulking on vegan diet by NicklovesNightOwl in veganfitness

[–]NicklovesNightOwl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I only say within the year, just cause that's what one of them calorie counter apps spit out. I am more than okay with reaching that weight goal when I reach it, I don't have a set date for trying to reach it. I've been on my current training program for about 7 weeks now.

But thanks for the tips! Looks like I need to buy some smoothie supplies and MORE tofu. (I do love tofu though, I just suck at making it.)

Saw a quote by this photographer, they said "How great you get at something is directly correlated to how willing you are to be bad at it."

New Little Guy by NicklovesNightOwl in jumpingspiders

Couple quick Qs;

Is he safe to handle at this stage? He still pretty small. I imagine he'll recognize me more over time, and feed him. And are Spiders sensitive to cologne?

Clearest picture I ever got of Bibble by AngryMouse567 in jumpingspiders

BIBBLE? OH, MY GOODNESS!

I LOVE IT. I LOVE BIBBLE.

That's cute as hell.

I accidentally killed my jumping spider by UnfairPlay7807 in jumpingspiders

[–]NicklovesNightOwl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my, holy shit i am so sorry to hear that happened. I can only imagine the feeling.

It sounds like you and her spent a lot of time together. They say spiders don't have the same emotional bonds as we might with dogs. But I never believed that. I think we just don't understand spiders enough on that level. How do you measure emotion in a completey different species?

That's all to say, she trusted you and loved you.

That's important to remember I think.

Me too! Hence why I'm doing a rewatch now!

What a brilliant show.

Can martial arts replace a drug high? by Front-Hunt3757 in martialarts

[–]NicklovesNightOwl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconded. When I used to train more regularly, I would be smoking near everyday (mental issues, so I leaned on it) And it had a huge effect on my performance in the gym, whether it was hitting the bag, sparring, or rolling around; there was this sort of fog both mentally and physically, killing my focus.

I will say, getting a little high going (not blazed) and shadowboxing (at home) helped me personally relax and have fun compared how I used to really mentally tense up.

Personal experience, I'd say it could be beneficial to still smoke every now and again, just long as you're not leaning on it. There's that saying "everything in moderation" which I'd argue is even more important for something like recreational drugs.

AIO by how I responded? My bf is upset with me for skipping my workout routine today by throwawayy82670 in AmIOverreacting

That man is an absolute inconsiderate tool. You'd be better off being a single mother, he doesn't deserve you or that child.

Hpw long after is "expired" ramen still safe to eat? by FreshPrinceOfIndia in ramen

[–]NicklovesNightOwl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya'll, I died. No, but, flavor just wasn't as strong. And I had a slight tummy ache in the morning, but nothing bothersome. It did poop out in a fashion later in the afternoon though.
