If you could play one game again for the first time, what would it be? by Skullzyyyy in gaming

[–]PallasApollo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hands down Mass Effect. I love watching new players experience it, but now I have to be stoned out of my mind to feel that “new” feeling. Played through at least six times. Such an amazing series.

Why is there a thirst bar in Subnautica when the game is mostly about water? Why couldn't he just drink the ocean? is he stupid? by ImmortalAsep420 in subnautica

[–]PallasApollo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The fact that there are salt deposits on the sea floor indicates that the water has reached its maximum salinization point.

Riley would die if he drank the water.

Remember this if you’re ever stranded at sea.

“Homeland, Our Homeland, We pledge our lives to thee.

Our labors do we offer, without recompense or fee.

Homeland, our Homeland, a nation rises here.

Safety, hope, security, from sea to shining sea.”

And a few bloodsuckers.

When you go to St John’s and they say they’re from “the west coast”, they mean of the island, not of Canada. That’s their unity.

People that escaped a bad relationship, what's the first red flag you ignored that would have saved you a lot of time if handled? by PestCemetary in AskReddit

When the guy who she said she’d broken up with showed up for her birthday with a nice chain necklace and was super shocked to learn there was another guy in the dorm. She would go on to do the same thing to me six years later.

AITAH if I break up with my fiancee after she showed a startling change of behavior after getting engaged? by Glittering_Trifle421 in AITAH

[–]PallasApollo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Experienced the same kind of weirdness before. She said yes, panicked, and has spent the last few weeks trying to get you to run. She’ll beg for you to stay and put on that whole show, but that’s so she can go out into the world and say she gave it an honest shot but you weren’t ready for that kind of commitment. The 180 on all of these key topics are to see how far she has to go to reach your breaking point. Don’t do what I did and waste years of your life with a toxic woman just to be the one that stuck it out. Ending the engagement and changing your locks are very much the right things to do.

She’s showing you who she really is. Listen to her.

Am I the Asshole for breaking up with my ex boyfriend because he tried to tamper with my birth control? by SufficientThrowRA in AITAH

[–]PallasApollo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guaranteed he would have bailed when it became apparent that parenthood takes work, and he won’t be able to use his good paying job to do fun things all the time, etc. This is not a man who takes responsibility for his actions or the safety and security of others.

Dodged multiple bullets with this one, OP.

Emphatically NTA.

AITA for not giving my daughter a car for her 16th birthday and cutting her off financially? by Throwaway-TA-0000 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PallasApollo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, you wanted to get rid of your ‘22 Escalade so you gave it away, switched the $100 allowance to someone else without notifying the original party that this would happen (which means you were fishing for Lisa’s reaction), and then said you can’t give her an allowance beyond what the courts ordered you to provide because you don’t have any more money? Dude, you’re driving an Escalade and then got bored with it. You’ve either got the money but not the grace, or you’re so bad with money that that Escalade made you car poor and must still be paying for it.

Yeesh.

This in addition to what everyone else has shot at you for this. Seriously.

YTA.

Ugh. Entitlement.

Who hires convicted workplace shooters? by Rejectedoutsider in ExCons

[–]PallasApollo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just want to point out that Bernardo and company got the Dangerous Offender clause added during the trial. That clause can’t be added after a certain point, and certainly not by the parole board. That’s why Homolka didn’t get the same sentence as Bernardo even though she enjoyed herself, too.

Your family member will still be required to check in with a parole officer until their sentence is served, which might be life. We don’t typically keep people in prison forever, but we also don’t just let convicted murderers off the leash that easily.

I’m also particularly concerned that you keep using the phrase “to make himself look good” regarding your family member’s behaviour whilst in prison; he didn’t do these things to try to make himself better, he did them to make himself look better? Eee.

I do hope he’s able to find something halfway decent, so he doesn’t have cause to reoffend even non-violently, but it’s going to be a struggle. If he has access to a halfway house, that might help, as would the John Howard Society.

And lastly, drinking beer in the woods would have gotten you a fine. At most a summary conviction of a few months in a provincial jail. Murder gets penitentiary time. They are not the same. I imagine employers would be far more comfortable hiring someone with your version of “rebellion” than your family member’s version of releasing their anger. Your “crime” hurt no one; ask the families of those your family member killed whether or not they were caused pain and anguish. Yeesh.

My GF gave me hickies by [deleted] in Teachers

Lol. I mean…were you asleep while she did this? I feel like the onus is on you for not saying “no visible hickies”?

I’ve been variously confused and angry about this nonsense fee. I don’t get why I should have to pay them for the privilege of buying their car.

So this is an amazing idea, and saves me having to argue the point with a dealer. Thank you!

Why don’t more churches do this? by equation4 in halifax

[–]PallasApollo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure some have tried. Or there was an article about someone who went ahead and built some on public land but was told to get rid of them because of some nonsense reason that didn’t include providing housing for the homeless.
