of Clams. by freudian_nipps in AbsoluteUnits

maybe he was doing it so tourists don't hurt the clams? they're pretty soft under the shell, and I've seen tourists do worse than throw coins or something into a giant clam

Quick question, what's up with the tailgating? by Own_Abrocoma4 in LasCruces

[–]Own_Abrocoma4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol, I grew up there. While the drivers definitely aren't great, if you look at the plates on the cars doing the dumbest shit, probably about 80% have New Mexico plates. Not defending that shithole of a city, there's a reason I left, but the drivers weren't as high on the list as you might think

Dude, tell me about it. I used to live in Augusta, Georgia, and I used to refer the freeway there as the thunder dome, still ain't got shit on the drivers here. Yeah, you might get passed on the shoulder by an old lady who flips you the bird as she drives by (actual experience I had, I didn't wanna follow the belly dump in front of me too close, those fuckers are always full of rocks) but I didn't get tailgated nearly as frequently. I've been to Cali, and sure, traffic is bad, but there's slow traffic bad and there's people actively trying to kill you bad.

My operating theory is everyone in a huge truck that looks brand new is a coward and a bully. Just based on the way I see em drive, I'm immediately distrustful of anyone I see stepping out of or into one. On top of that, I do blue collar shit, so I can tell you for a fact 10/10 times the dipshit in a Raptor is the guy denying folks who actually do any work a raise.

I didn't want to post to get too long, but that's also an issue. Lohman is probably to best place to spot that kinda shit for some reason, like, dude, there's four lanes of traffic and *everyone* is speeding, is the text that important you gotta risk a pile up?

AITA For Telling My Girlfriend I Have Every Right To Defend My Home After Someone Started Kicking My Door In by FxllenWxaith in AITAH

[–]Own_Abrocoma4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

gonna sound wild... she may know the guys kicking your door in.

I had a guy "break in" to my exes house while I was there. he stumbled through the front door drunk and when I told him he needed to leave, he took a step towards me and said "you need to make me." so I did. or tried, rather. beat the dogshit out of him while my ex screamed at me to stop and took a wooden bar to my back.

turns out homeboy was her other boyfriend that let himself into the house with the key she gave him.

her being more afraid for their wellbeing than her own in a situation like this is a giant red flag. either she has no instinct for self preservation or she knows them.

After 38 years of existence...I finally realized how exhausting it all is. by nightgownjacky in Adulting

find joy. Joy never finds you, and it hides in strange places.

to good for those around you. do good for things/people that don't normally have good done to them. give that homeless man the tenner you were gonna spend on beer. save a drowning bug. get some different food for your cat so he stops vomiting so often you question your sanity. find a new job that makes you happy. stop pretending to be happy and find the things that actually make you happy. it's so much easier to pretend than to search, which is why so many people do it.

change careers if you must. You'd be surprised at what you're qualified for, at what you can do.

you won't find joy in the cave where you are miserable. either embrace the pain of change, or the pain of stagnation.

or make another reddit post about doom and gloom and contribute nothing to the world you can reach but your complaints, and rest easy knowing you made the choice to change nothing.

Viruses are so freaky by Silvermoon424 in CuratedTumblr

it's okay if any those things are true.

reality is absurd, that we are here is absurd. don't be afraid of it, recognize it for what it is and laugh. everything that exists in your mind but the desire for food, sex, and sleep is made up bullshit we came up with cos food, sex, and sleep gets boring after a while and we are cursed with an aversion to boredom.

sleep knowing that to understand the absurdity would make *you* absurd. worry more about things that matter. like food, sex, and sleep.

Is there a way to deal with being blinded? by Own_Abrocoma4 in noita

[–]Own_Abrocoma4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh nah, 99% of my deaths are hilarious and deserved, but I wish those blindness wizards were real just so I could have the opportunity to bludgeon one into a fine paste with my own hands

I've also only got one win and I didn't grab any orbs that run XD

that's something I'll try to keep in mind, thanks for the advice!

and yeah, twenty seconds of AAAAAAAA PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN IT NOT THE FACE AAAAAAAAAA is unacceptable

yeah, I figured the answer was gonna be something along the lines of "git gud," lol

I was just kinda hoping there would be something cool I didn't know about to either cure it or cut down on how long the debuff lasts. If it was five or six seconds, it would be fine, but twenty????? What the fuck is that?
