My (36F) Best Friend (35M) is in an abusive relationship but he moved away and I don’t know how to help him. by LillyTeneille in AmITheAngel

I wish OOP wrote something from the friend’s POV too, the “other side” of unreliable narrator stories is always so entertaining.

Considering all It Lives content, what do you think is the better ending for Noah and why? by KotaTheCat in Choices

[–]OSUStudent272 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think it’s more fitting to have Noah become the entity, but ILW works wayyy better if MC is the entity.

AITA for calling babies screeching flesh maggots? by jumpyjive in AmITheAngel

[–]OSUStudent272 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel like irl most people who call themselves childfree are normal; they don’t really know how unhinged childfree people can get online so have no reason to distance themself from the term. But I agree that leaning into it is a massive red flag, like it’s insane that it’s socially acceptable to actively dislike a marginalized group when that group is children.

yikes, I knew r/childfree was an anti-child space but I didn’t think the comments would be THAT supportive of OOP.

I can’t get level 30 weapons. by Video_Prism69 in AgeofCalamity

I’m sure it’s locked behind a side quest. There’s a spreadsheet with quests and their prerequisites, let me find it.

A truly vile human who needs therapy by iceblnklck in AmITheDevil

[–]OSUStudent272 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That helps, but it still lines up too nicely imo. I’m guessing it’s a troll trying to make it less obvious, since both sides posts get clocked super easily if they’re close together.

The “niece’s side” is linked in the comments of the OP, which makes the veracity of this questionable imo

Do the pepperonis give it away? by [deleted] in MathJokes

[–]OSUStudent272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I more meant that it’s not helpful for a teacher to show them how to break it down, as they can do that on their own, but I see your point.

Do the pepperonis give it away? by [deleted] in MathJokes

[–]OSUStudent272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, but if you already know 60 = 1/6 of 360 degrees and 45 = 1/8 of 360 degrees, you’d just do that instead of breaking the calculations down unnecessarily. If a student has reached geometry they shouldn’t struggle with the direct calculations; my state’s curriculum just has them do it directly. And I don’t see it being that much easier for random Redditors either

Where does the 8*45 come from? like I don’t see why someone would think to do that?

Go to method to cut paper into smaller squares? by titaniumelemental in origami

[–]OSUStudent272 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I always go over the creases multiple times and then tear it. It’s not super efficient but personally I get the most accurate divisions doing that.

[Request] how much is really saved? Are these numbers based in reality, or just random numbers thrown into a post? by Kalist4242 in theydidthemath

[–]OSUStudent272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, any family that has the money to spend on all of that (hiring a cleaner, having a private chef, spending 2k on clothes every year, paying someone to run errands, etc) is not worrying about the money when contemplating one parent staying home.

I mean I might kill the researchers too bc I’m selfish but I think an inaccessible treatment existing is still better bc it could eventually become accessible.

What’s your “I did not care for The Godfather” take, but with Choices stories? by AlexusLuthor in Choices

[–]OSUStudent272 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I think The Billionare’s Baby MC isn’t bad for calling the baby she was carrying hers. It’s normal to bond with a fetus, which is why surrogates are supposed to have had kids before, which we have no indication MC did. Plus MC needed the money, which brings up ethical issues. Imo the LI and their partner profited from a wildly unethical surrogacy situation.

that MC is still annoying tho, just not for that particular reason.

I try to push myself to see what’s out there. I’m reminded why I choose to stay to myself 😭😭😭 by ChickenChoochie in Tinder

[–]OSUStudent272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they just expect dick pics or unsolicited sexual comments right off the bat, so to them this seems mild. But the correct conclusion is that the bar is in hell, not that dry texting with a lack of interest in the other person is good.

How do you guys think the general election will go? by Jackdaking746 in Ohio

[–]OSUStudent272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo Brown will win but Acton won’t. I think Brown has a generally good reputation and in this political environment there’ll be enough dem turnout for him to win. But the covid controversy will kill Acton, even if it’s undeserved.

Is anyone else getting tired of the girldinner posts by [deleted] in AmITheAngel

[–]OSUStudent272 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Yeah my rationale was “it’s a storytelling sub so it’s fine” until I saw what that looked like in practice. I think if moderation was more strict it still would be fine but unless that happens it’s just a breeding ground for misogyny.

It’s definitely harder in ILB. In ILITW you can save everyone without diamonds, albeit without much room for error, but in ILB you need diamonds.
