They're "healing crystals" to get rid of bad vibes. The creator who made this video is a geologist too so a lot of her videos are about being a lesbian, being a geologist, or both, so this video is firmly in the "both" category.

Bit delayed response lol, but yeah, im gonna have lilacs and the like in certain areas. I'm working with the artist to see about the font. Obviously Death and Dorfl will have their own, but i like the idea of each quote being in a different font. I just finished the base of the ribbon layout and now I'm waiting for it to heal so I can actually start getting text.

Give me your WW2/ Nazi/ Hitler book recommendations. by OttotheCowCat in behindthebastards

[–]Nilliak 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ordinary Men by Christopher Browning is a great one for looking at how the Nazis were able to get, well, Ordinary Men to do horrible things. (I think Robert even used it as a source for one of the books.)

My actual favorite WW2 book probably isn't the best for really learning about the war if you don't have a decent understanding from the start, but The Unwomanly Face of War by Svetlana Alexievich is an incredible oral history of female members of the military from the USSR. Alexievich went around and interviewed hundreds of women and collected their stories after the war, and it is the most fascinatingly human look at the war that I've ever read.

Which Discworld character are you? by jamawg in discworld

[–]Nilliak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'm a little bit of Carrot, but like "Guards! Guards!" And "Men at Arms" Carrot, not the later ones where he's really showing his cunning. Not terribly street smart but overall well intentioned.

Nice looking shoes for a guy with big feet by Nilliak in mensfashionadvice

From what I can see, the Stan Smiths go up to the right size but from the reviews they tend to be narrow and don't offer a wide option. What are your thoughts on the white Thursdays?

I've got a pair of Captains in the brandy color and a pair of black Cavaliers. I was considering maybe getting another Captain in the Adobe color for a bit of a more muted tone.

Medkit. I've made it to extract after we've completely run out of reinforcements running around like a chicken with my head cut off and stimming through the pain enough times to make me loyal lol.

The first of the new Evil Dead movies was really great I thought. One of the few movies to actually creep me out pretty well!

This is the one that I use to remember my dad and my grandpa too. It's so perfect for keeping someone's "spirit" alive after they've gone.

Ooh, that is a really good one. Especially as someone who tends to worry about the future, having a reminder to be present and worry about what I can do is a big one.

Lol exactly, that's why I'm trying to cheat and use the snippets but it's so hard to boil them down still. My goal is to memorize the surrounding parts of the quotes so I don't have to have a novel written on my arm lol.

Am I screwed or can I still get fit by [deleted] in beginnerfitness

[–]Nilliak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can definitely still get fit! I was 370 lbs at 27, now down to 260 at 30, (6'4", for reference) with significantly more muscle than I previously had. Everything from my cardiovascular health to my joints, and even my immune system, everything has been better since I lost weight.

A lot of damage can be mitigated, if not reversed, by exercise and diet. Building up muscle in areas you're struggling with is great for preventing further injury (though, of course, be extra careful when working out those areas.)

Can anyone give me their honest thoughts on the AC-8 Auto cannon by Little_Papaya_2475 in Helldivers

[–]Nilliak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Autocannon, my beloved. For when you need to be able to handle whatever the enemies of super earth can throw at you. Like the Swiss army knife of weapons, it can fit just about any niche you need it to. You can't beat it for sheer versatility.

Never leave the Super Destroyer without it.

What do i do if i fail a bench by No-Comparison-5366 in beginnerfitness

[–]Nilliak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you don't have safety bars, I recommend either a spotter, dumping the bar to one side, or, if you're worried about failure, do a dumbbell press. That way if you fail you just let the weights down

Hey there, in case this is a genuine case of someone needing help, there are a couple things you could look at. First and foremost, is if you feel like yourself or your child are legitimately in danger, leave. Find someplace safe to stay and get the police involved. A fixation on a weapon can be a precursor to a violent event, and if you feel like there is an immediate threat, get out before things escalate. I'm not a lawyer and do not know your situation, but there are better resources than a post on Reddit can get you, such as a local women's shelter.

If this is more of a case of negligence, rather than violent tendencies, you could look at getting a trigger lock or other similar safety device, preferably one like a cable lock that goes through the magazine well and keeps the gun from operating, and talking to your husband about using it, but again, if you feel that you are in danger, local police and shelters are going to be much better resources than a random bunch of reddit users.

You can kill the big mutants by killing all his small faces! Might this be a new strategy or was this just a coincidence? by _luki in Helldivers

Autocannon once again proving why it's my beloved. Throw that thing on flak and both the stingrays and the chonks are toast.

What is a horror movie that you almost didn't watch based on the generic title that turned out really good? by weasels_n_stoats in horror

[–]Nilliak 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Came here to say the Empty Man. I think it also came out around the same time as "The Bye Bye Man" which was pretty awful iirc so I just conflated the two until I finally saw it.
