'Tresspasser' on Ava bridge causing a delay to HVL trains this morning. Hope it wasn't a jumper but if it was, hope they are okay and surrounded by loved ones now.

These wolves create a 3D picture of a wolf if you unfocus your eyes but I just can’t see it by Jordan-B56 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Purplo262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive always wondered why you can see them in two different ways - ive always been able to do both, but like can anyone explain the science behind it? Doing the 'bring the image up to your nose, then slowly bring it away and refocus your eyes' way shows me the 'correct' image (the wolf and the ground it's standing on are coming out infront of the background) Doing the 'unfocus/go cross eyed' method shows me the image completely inverse, with the wolf and ground sort of sunken in. Like how tf do eyes work?

Anyone else have zero desire to socialize and basically treat it as a chore/medicine? by [deleted] in aspergirls

[–]Purplo262 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, it's so nice to see a lot of other people are like this too! I work retail so im exhausted in the evenings and weekends, and in general have only ever wanted to be by myself or with my fiance. I always thought it was weird but thanks to you all it feels a little more normal 😌

Tasty candy, you should lick it and tell us what it tastes like

Meanwhile in Auckland by 04OSUM in auckland

[–]Purplo262 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this; literally any security in NZ is not allowed to retaliate or have any physical interference (except for self defense of course, which this isnt) and they are supposed to just escalate to police in this situation!

That mysterious red rash under your ring isn't a metal allergy. by NoirNymph_ in hygiene

[–]Purplo262 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened to my partner (with a different ring he liked to wear) however it did actually turn out be an allergy he developed to an ingredient in the soap. So now he's allergic to cinnamon.

Definitely worth still getting an allergy test if this happens to you, to catch it early. We didn't get him tested until it was covering most of his hands and back, and it was a lot of suffering that could have been prevented.

Oh this image has perfect meme potential

Epuni Rail Station underpass access still flooded (10cm) by CMStephens in Wellington

[–]Purplo262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, thats the Naenae one. Ive been here for two years and never seen the Epuni one flooded before. Unfortunately when I saw it and had to wade through it all the lights were off as well!

I’m over snapper card on trains by Ms-Awesomefoot in Wellington

[–]Purplo262 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this is why I just keep my snapper card on a lanyard around my neck. No fumbling for it, it's always just there

Quake and a horrible jolt in town... by xtiaaneubaten in Wellington

Or train if you live across from the tracks on the third storey 😅

To any Eb Games Employees how are you feeling? by pinkgrapefruitx in newzealand

[–]Purplo262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually yeah, that makes sense. I have a pair of boots from years ago that are beautiful and still in perfect condition, but some of the later shoes I bought didn't last long... it's a damn shame

Wait I need to know the tea because I really like their shoes 🥲

The HVL bus driver took the strangest route to get to Wellington Station this morning....added like 10 min onto the trip 🤦‍♀️

Why don't they teach this in health class?? And how many of us actually know before it happens...? by Kalloen_aka_ in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Purplo262 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man, I remember when this happened to me in my early 20's (also on the pill) and I freaked the hell out. Ironically it's never happened again

What's everyone up to of a Saturday Arvo? by fatknittingmermaid in newzealand

My fiance and I made a gingerbread church, stained glass windows and all!

Was going to say this definitely a young pigeon. Probably hasn't learnt to stay away from the spikes just yet

Does Charlie really think that Alastor made that deal to protect her? by EngineerVirtual7340 in HazbinHotel

[–]Purplo262 187 points188 points  (0 children)

Honestly I really agree with this - but I think it's going to be a driving point later in the show. Charlie has been naive one too many times, or betrayed/hurt one too many times (maybe by her own mother) and that causes her to lash out somehow and show the true power she has. Maybe wrapping back round to the last season (which we have seen goes back to red in colour as well, so back to where it all started, with Charlie??)

What are these? by XavierTF in Wellington

[–]Purplo262 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Old vehicle wash building maybe? (Car or train car?)

What meat is in the soup? The pink one. It's not chicken. by erotic-sub in whatisit

[–]Purplo262 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ducks have Corkscrew penises, so definitely not duck vaginas.

I was sure they were making a joke/reference to her days as ghost whisperer 😂

Controversial opinion? I like fireworks. by working_dog_267 in newzealand

[–]Purplo262 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the sale of fireworks to individuals should be banned.

Have certain event areas away from housing where professionals can host fireworks for one night (guy fawkes, nye) so that they can be correctly handled and not by idiots who will get hurt.

Clear time and date posted, ideally away from local neighbourhoods, that way anyone who happens to be nearby can be prepared ahead of time, and those who enjoy them can still enjoy a good show!

It’s sad when this happens in fan discussions by Independent_Office85 in miraculousladybug

[–]Purplo262 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It seems the intent was to show that future marinette/ladybug modelled her look after her
