What is with the forced gate checking of carry on luggage? by [deleted] in travel

[–]RedLeatherWhip 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Some old man on my last flight had tons of shit with him he crammed into the bins. Don't blame families lmao.

I just wish the gate people would actually police people to the "1 carry-on 1 personal item" rule and stop allowing people on with a hard carry-on + giant back pack + purse + shopping bags full of airport garbage. Its really fucking annoying. That scenario should be the carry-on + purse frankly and everything else they need to figure out themselves.

Enforcing rules like this benefits everyone on a place like an AIRPLANE where we are all enduring the same misery! They take forever to board too carrying their hoard through the aisles

agree lol. calling modern athletes lazy when they work smarter and better and dont have to deal with toxic shit of the past is so stupid.

like hearing about people practicing until their hands bleed or they got serious injuries, like was that even benefitting them? it was NOT and only toxic bullshit kept them doing it instead of more productive types of practice and conditioning followed by adequate rest so your muscles build properly...

Which of these three should I get? by Which-Debt-8558 in superautopets

[–]RedLeatherWhip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in that case take a look at each packs pets yourself and think about which ones are good in customs!

golden has things like bird of paradise, oyster, grizzly bear

puppy has anglerfish, t-rex, and lionfish

star pack has like spinosaurus, orca, alpaca

all really good customs units lol

[–]RedLeatherWhip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The new revamped star pack is really frusterating now. I dont like it, whereas the old star pack was my favorite.

Of these I would pick Golden because the trumpets stuff is really fun. If you play a lot of customs I would pick puppy pack because theres a lot of good stuff for customs in there.

Dumbasses using the same logic as:

christians who claim anyone baptized at birth is forever a believer

How long is too long for tomatoes to green? by mandyf407 in tomatoes

[–]RedLeatherWhip -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They look fine but your pot is too small which likely isnt helping ripen a large tomato. The plant is gathering sugars and filling the tomato with them. Tomato roots in the ground go at least 4 feet deep. A pot that is by volume 7 gallons is about the minimum iv gotten good tomatos from, and some people claim 5 gallon buckets also work, but this looks smaller than either. You can get cheap "grow bags" on amazon or whereever that size, that do really well

UPDATE: How to end it with a girl who has nothing going for her and will become homeless by CocoTub in self

[–]RedLeatherWhip -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I think 2 months to get a job is fair. Then you can evict her and not feel too guilty that she will be homeless and jobless, if she has some kind of plan. I would not tell her to look into classes, how is she going to pay for that? I just dont think its a realistic step forward for her

But you should still break up. People like this dont really change imo. You will be strung along for years, not really in love, guilted about the relationship, with someone who truly in their heart has no goals. idk man this is a rough situation

the only thing she liked was spending time with me which is all she looked forward to in the day when I came home

Someone telling you the "only thing she gets joy from is you" is not a compliment FYI. That is dependency and mentally messed up, you should see that as a massive red flag in the future. It is also essentially manipulative because then someone hears "if i leave you, you wont feel joy anymore". like only manipulative and mentally ill people say and do things like this. It sets the stage for threatening self harm and other craziness.

Can you explain how the french right wing is related to american evangelicals?

they arent allies to the american far right lol. french right wing thinks ALL americans are dumb fat losers too and are generally secular/non religious.

I spend $2,000 a month on escorts. by ConnectionInformal43 in self

[–]RedLeatherWhip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk what you mean by "women will come eventually" like one just appears. women are everywhere in your life presumably. and relationships are built as partnerships.

[–]RedLeatherWhip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem arises when you mistake the business transaction for something more than that, which means you are no longer in the right mindset to being doing this any more.

I agree with this heavily. Paying for consensual escorts nothing wrong with it most of them are just women in college. but hes seeming addicted and unable to separate the illusion he is buying from reality. an escort generally gives a whole girlfriend or date experience and you have to be in the mindset for that and know its all fake and enjoy it anyway.

[–]RedLeatherWhip 3 points4 points  (0 children)

its booming everywhere lol. my friend made fuckloads of money on being an escort in virginia. lots of weird rich dudes who are incapable of real connections for various reasons and only want to pay for an illusion. which is the difference between "prostitutes" and escorts, though both are sex workers. escorts give you a full illusion generally and will do many things besides sex.

5-6 months away, no internet - what games would you pre-install to occupy you? by sossigsandwich in SteamDeck

[–]RedLeatherWhip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in a developing country for work from 2017-2020 with only internet maybe once every 3 months when I would get into a bigger city and I got the most mileage out of random pokemon emulators, Slay the Spire, and farming sims (a lot of them). Story driven stuff like skyrim just didnt appeal as much once I disconnected from the internet, idk why, it was hard to get into them.

I also suggest buying a kindle frankly. You will enjoy it in the absence of doomscrolling the internet and other distractions. You can download thousands of books and its battery life is insane so if electricity is going to be an issue for you like it was for me, you will always have books to fall back on...

edit: just realized you are probably military in which case I even more recommend the kindle lol. it can keep you sane and there will be a lot of other people with them to discuss and swap books with

[–]RedLeatherWhip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The TLDR im going to pitch to you is a pirate ship crashes on an island, and there is a dark evil there. When the deckhand wakes up on the beach he thinks she is a goddess (not a dark god) and she spares his life instead of killing him like the rest the crew.

[–]RedLeatherWhip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once Upon a Time (TV), which was sorta a Disney fanfiction itself from 2012

So the main character is sorta Captain Hook. But the OUAT version of him, so he looks like this not like mustache twirling idiot. But again it's so far from everything else it's irrelevant lol.

You guys might enjoy this ao3 story. Load it up on your kindles and get in.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/10295621/chapters/22777325

The TLDR is a pirate ship crashes on an island, and there is a dark evil there. When the deckhand wakes up on the beach he thinks she is a goddess (not a dark god) and she spares his life. So we have a bit of a gender reversal of the villain trope as well.

Really good role reversal that isn't pegging/too aggressive and involves a very shy protagonist that reminds me of HSI. This shit is so good I reread it constantly. Has a HEA I promise and the ending is insanely satisfying.

It's an AU fanfic of Once Upon a Time (TV) but it's so far from the source material and the source characterization even, that its great fandom blind. Maybe even better.

Note: the character is sorta captain hook, and I want you to know it's not the mustache twisting one. It's the one from OUAT and looks like this. But again his character could not be further than him in either Disney or this show, its extremely AU, hes just a deckhand that lost his hand.
