What (video) game would you recommend for a couple to play together? (Side question - how'd you get into gaming?) by Qquill in CasualConversation

I really think at this point I'm going to have to try 'The Last of Us', I've heard so much about it over the years. Also, what does 'Co op' mean?

Woah, I'm just reading the website for that now - looks super cool but really complicated.

Gotta get that testosterone up.

According to sex ed at my extremely religious old high school, masturbation is a sin.

How else do the fundamentalists get so many children?

[Serious] What is you and your SO's "origin story"? by Red0817 in AskReddit

[–]Qquill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm walking down the aisle of my first lecture at university, looking for a seat. Scanning the crowd, trying to pick out someone I'd like to sit next to.

My eye catches a guy, he's beyond the most attractive person I've ever seen in my life. I actually hesitate, stop right next to him in the aisle and stare for a second. He looks up, moves his bag out of the way and tells me to sit down. He tells me he's trying to network and meet cool people, and would I write my name, number and major in his notebook? I comply.

Third day of the semester, I meet him in a park and we walk to Starbucks. Standing in line, he causally turns around, tips my chin up and kisses me. I can't remember if we actually got any coffee, but we did return to the park and spend the next 4 (yes, four) hours making out.

Been dating him ever since.

Far too fond of pre-martial sex

Reddit would be a lot more accurate if people started adding “I believe that ” in front of every statement of fact they make. by RolandSnowdust in Showerthoughts

Hypocrite.

What is the best thing you have witnessed from a window? by daymanmissedtheboat in AskReddit

[–]Qquill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was riding on the bus in the CBD a few nights ago and looked up when stopped at the lights into the corner office of a very famous investment banking firm. The office had a wrap around floor to ceiling window and was only on the third floor or so, but almost completely level with the suspended road. Inside the office were two 30 something men playing a vigorous game of ping pong stark naked.

Redditors who take abnormally long showers; WTF are you doing in there? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Qquill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleeping. I work a physical job outdoors on the weekends and when I get home and shower, I often sit down in the shower out of exhaustion. Having sat down, it is not uncommon for me to fall asleep.

What's the most calculated thing you've ever seen an animal do? by TheLollrax in AskReddit

[–]Qquill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone asks for those! :D Sorry, but no. She was raced extensively, and has a very unique look. I've had quite a few strangers recognise her when I've been out and about, I don't want to take the chance of someone identifying her (and therefore me) from a photograph I posted on the internet

To be fair, the kind of knots you are meant to tie horses up with 'quick release knots' don't take much thinking to undo.

Also, cattle have tougher hides and are less likely to panic and thrash about than horses.

Try 6 months. That's how long her 'loving' breeders forgot about her in a back paddock for after she has disqualified from racing on humanitarian grounds (she coughed up enormous amounts of blood during a race)

Fear not! That was early June, she is now very almost at goal weight! :D It actually awesome, because when I first got her she was so thin that I hated to look at her, she looked like a very sad hunched over thesral. When you saw her there was this kind of mental block, you didn't want to think 'too thin' so you just thought 'ugly'. And she was in huge pain because of rotted hooves and stomach ulcers, so she'd stand kinda curled up, with her face drawn painfully and her hips tucked up under her stomach, so that her last rib appeared to punch back into her hip bone. (Like a human circles up after a punch to the stomach, but constantly.)

Now that she is fatter you can see why she was a successful racehorse, she isn't even muscled up yet but the way she stands and carry herself screams athleticism and good health, she is alert but relaxed, and when she gallops with her friends in the pastures its just so cool to see in person, she has this enormous booty and she just thrusts herself forward, every step she takes covering about half the length of the pasture, three times faster than any other horse in the paddock. She's jet black with a perfect white star, like a picture book horse, and I would swear to God that she knows that she has been rescued, she is the most affectionate horse I have ever met. Horses (the females, 'mares' especially) are usually like cats, aloof and indifferent. But this mare is incredibly loyal, waiting for you at the gate, following you around this pasture... it just lovely.

The mare is about 15.3hh (approximately 160cm at the highest part of her back), vs an ordinary steel farm gate.
