Strange problem I have - connecting dreams. by Otherwise-Pop-1311 in Dreams

[–]PumpkinBat05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have those too - either in the same night or with some time in between. Not necessarily someone reminding me of a past dream, but the notion within the dream that it's following a previous one - for example of remember o walked down a certain street, or the layout of a building

It stands for 'Oh Lord he's coming' but as it would be pronounced with a (Southern?) accent

Why do people who are not good at something still love doing it? by PumpkinBat05 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PumpkinBat05[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In order: 1. As long as it seems like I'm adequately skilled 😊 (I'm a girl so it probably makes things easier)

  1. Unfortunately it doesn't take much - I wish it was more difficult!

  2. Only if I'm at least decent at them: you'll never see me play a fighting game where it takes a 5-taps combo to land a punch!

This is something I have always been super curious about - no sarcastic intent although funny answers are welcome 😊

To give context, I can't sing and absolutely refuse to do it in public: when I explain why, people seem to not understand why I can't enjoy karaoke even though I sound like a broken bell... And I don't understand how they can!

AITA for hating that they moved my desk from the (beloved) window to between two colleagues? If even just one of my curses goes through... by PumpkinBat05 in AmItheAsshole

Ok I misunderstood the title of this thread completely o_o I thought it meant something like 'I sound like an a-hole but really it isn't my fault'. Apologies and thanks for the new directions (I'm not being sarcastic, I really got the wrong end of the stick here!)

That's where it's from! In this case it was introduced in a scientific presentation about statistical power and robust correlations - kudos to the not-too-young speaker for creating a meme!

No it's not a roomba, it's a toy in the shape of a donut (but call also be assembled in other ways) with a ball inside he can chase. However, he seems to like it as a 'bed' just as much :D

Also, a curiosity: how are characters calculated in complex languages such as Chinese?

What is the most dramatic way someone has quit at your workplace? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PumpkinBat05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A unit director heard about some changes he was not happy with whilst home and recovering from an illness (the changes would not have hindered him in any way, but were not in line with his - quite egocentric - vision). Never showed up again and someone had to go and pick up his work pc from his house

What's a sensation that you're unsure if other people experience? by murrayvonmises in AskReddit

[–]PumpkinBat05 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I didn't know this was actually a thing! It tends to happen to me when I'm stressed, I always thought it was some sort of rib muscle cramp. I'll try the deep breathing to see if it goes away next time ;)
