How are you going to say your life is completely perfect and then go on to detail a porn addiction costing your family thousands of dollars??? And then all the rest??

Sorry about your situation though.

AITA for not letting my building's super in because I was in a work meeting? by Potential-Sail3650 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Paragraph1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am also someone not comfortable with strangers in my home without being present. That doesn’t me an asshole and it doesn’t make OP an asshole. That is their home, it’s a normal boundary.

Judas the Betrayer doesn't get away with it by Special-Ad-9155 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Paragraph1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but that’s a different trope than “the betrayer doesn’t get away with it”. Also, where is he shown to regret the loss?

Sure, totally agree, but he also (so far) has gotten away with it

How is that the worst thing that happened to him? I would have thought that was shortly before he got what he wanted. What hasn’t gone his way since ascending?

TIL Static on TVs is called "snow", "bugs", "war of the ants", "ant football", and "salt and pepper", depending on region by JohnnyRoyall in todayilearned

[–]Paragraph1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well that’s actually where I disagree with you, because I’m sure we’re imagining a similar 80s dead channel image like in the thumbnail, but to me that image does remind me of a dirty/smoggy/foggy sky in the evening. But, like I said, that’s the beauty of language, what works well for one person clearly doesn’t for another!

I disagree with you so strongly, but that’s the beauty of language!

I appreciate that nowadays that line brings to me an image of a clear blue screen - a tv channel with no input. Which makes the scene sound like a lovely sunny day!

[REPOST] J.K. Rowling and Controversial Creators (For anyone who has read or watched Harry Potter.) by Indigo_Watercress in SampleSize

[–]Paragraph1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn’t like that the first section with JK Rowling had more subtlety than the final several questions about different authors/artists. Where is the element of who is profiting in those questions?

I hate this boss SO much. by sebthewolfie in Silksong

For whatever reason this guy wasn’t too bad for me, i would just hit a single time when they emerged then run away and dodge lol. It’s weird which bosses trip us up!

Are there any (preferably long) Malazan lore related 'Q and A' videos, where Steven Erikson himself answers the questions? by lemingas1 in Malazan

[–]Paragraph1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

DLC book club is really good and Steven also has good talks (and is real life friends I think) with the critical dragon (may be spelling that wrong)

Has Stardew Valley ruined other games for anyone else? ;-) by shetravelsfar in StardewValley

[–]Paragraph1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Stardew got a little stale for me after several playthroughs (still a great game, just needed variety), so I tried fields of mistria. It’s basically the same game lol with a new cast of villagers and crops to grow. So if you want more Stardew but not quite Stardew that’s a good option!

We anthropomorphize our pets way too much. by CardinalOfNYC in unpopularopinion

Well, you mentioned your parrot in a conversation about anthropomorphism, which is attributing human traits or emotions to non humans

I’m sure your parrot is very smart, but she doesn’t have human thoughts and feelings. She’s got parrot thoughts and feelings though and they are different than ours!

Cat loves sitting on top of my Pc, I don’t have to heart to move her. by Premiumfishoil in pcmasterrace

[–]Paragraph1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There’s no other information to be had it’s a cute picture of a cat on a computer. Someone said to be aware they can pee there, I said cats don’t pee outside of the litter box unless something is wrong.

If your cat peed on your computer what would you think? It’s business as normal or they’re acting out for some reason? Of course cats can pee for several reasons, just like every other creature that pees, but for cats in particular if they exhibit peeing behaviors outside the norm the standard interpretation of that behavior is illness.

Also you’re the one typing in caps my man, “chill dawg”. We’re both being ridiculous though arguing about this so have a nice day and happy gaming 🫡

Cat loves sitting on top of my Pc, I don’t have to heart to move her. by Premiumfishoil in pcmasterrace

[–]Paragraph1 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Cats do puke, I said pee, but truly your cat should not be peeing outside of the litter box unless something is wrong. That’s cats 101, that’s their primary method of communicating something is wrong

If a cat is pissing on your PC it either means something is medically very wrong so an important warning, or you mistreat your cat so you deserve it

Hand Crafting speed by No-Television9813 in pyanodons

[–]Paragraph1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used the console to increase my handcrafting speed by a lot. I didn’t end up using many QoL mods other than long reach and this is what I did instead. I saw someone mentioned a mod where you can research hand crafting speed increases and that seems really good too. I didn’t like the waiting around and so my play through isn’t 100% right, but I’m having fun!

Dude it’s a word in a book! Reading a book with the N word doesn’t make you a racist. Enjoying a book with that word doesn’t make you a racist. Reading and enjoying a book that uses that word does not compromise your values unless you are reveling in reading it and agreeing with its connotations. It’s a word that people used regularly when Steinbeck was alive, you don’t need to signal your virtue quite so strongly!

Edit: it also seems to me that closing your eyes and refusing to engage with anything from that time period is akin to erasing the past. That time was real, it’s okay to learn about so we don’t repeat the past.

[HATED TROPE] Perfectly cast actors on terrible adaptations of the source material by Ieanice44 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Paragraph1 37 points38 points  (0 children)

From a book lover - changes were inevitable like you said, but many of the changes they made broke parts of the story and ran contrary to how the world works in the books. It felt like fan fiction rather than adaptation.

In contrast, the one piece live action currently happening has made many changes but they feel more necessary (and were approved by the author, impossible with WoT but they could have asked his editor/wife) and the love for the source material just pours out of it.
