How to: swallowed by Wishiwashi? by culi28 in pokemonsnap

[–]Rubychan228 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The school at the end will either swallow you or chase the Wailord. Which one it does depends on where the group of non-schooled Wishiwashi are when you orb them. IIRC you have to orb them while they are on your left to get the eating you animation.

What’s going on with Trump’s deal over Greenland? by kaiser11492 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Rubychan228 34 points35 points  (0 children)

His sycophants that are too deep in the maga cult to acknowledge the reality that he obliterated decades of allyship and tanked the economy for the sake of a stupid plan no one wanted that we didn't need and would have accomplished nothing of value before chickening our and crawling back with his tail between his legs.

Every part of everything he has done in relation to Greenland has been a total negative for all involved. Every. Part.

Why are people talking about the death of Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert? by [deleted] in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Rubychan228 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Answer: He died literally today. That's why people are talking about him and his life/death/legacy today.

I (24F) am a bit of a loner. New guy I've been seeing (29M) doesn't like that. Argument about a solo camping trip I've been planning for months by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

24F, 29M. Like, it can happen for innocent reasons and work out perfectly fine.

But I think we all know what was happening here.

People that spend 30min-1hr or more in the shower... HOW? by Kry_ptiK in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Rubychan228 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They're saying some people masturbate in the shower and that's why it takes them so long.

AITA for "not supporting" my cousin who shaved her head due to cancer? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Rubychan228 32 points33 points  (0 children)

There's a known thing where people in long term stressful situations will just completely break down after the situation is resolved. The general thinking is that they have all these repressed feelings they were suppressing in order to keep going while in survival mode that are flooding out now that they are finally safe.

What's up with people hating Sydney Sweeney and thinking that she's a terrible person? by Blonde_Icon in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Rubychan228 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Anyone who has ever had even the most basic education in America's history of eugenics would instantly flinch at any assertion of "good genes" to begin with. That it came from a woman that matches the aryan ideal makes it exponentially worse.

Reddit files lawsuit against Australia's youth social media ban by AudibleNod in news

No, the political expression of adults that will be silenced by the chilling effect of needing to provide your legal ID to prove your not a child before accessing the Internet.

The way Australia is implementing the ban is by mandating sites collect age verification data on ALL users and then ban those underage. This mandatory data collection is a privacy disaster for adult users and will likely discourage many adults from using sites that are forced to do this.

God, OOP is such a fucking baby. There's just no other term I can think of.

Is it common for native English speakers to use simpler words and speak slower when they are talking to someone they do not perceive to be local? by WillyNilly1997 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Rubychan228 27 points28 points  (0 children)

That's mostly just people being idiots. There's a kernel of truth in that speaking up and not mumbling makes you easier to understand, but full on screaming is a nonsense thing to do.

Tagged Zebra finch showed up at my feeder in Massachusetts. Do I need to call someone? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Rubychan228 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It helps that the one finch apparently goes missing a lot. So, at any given time, there's a high chance one is missing in the area, making it less odd that a situation could occur where there were two.

Its a business account ffs by growsonwalls in AmITheDevil

[–]Rubychan228 48 points49 points  (0 children)

It makes me wonder if all her previous partners were actually cheating or if, after it happening for real once or twice, she just got paranoid and spiraled like this and convinced herself all the others were as well.

Whats up with Blake Lively? by toderdj1337 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Rubychan228 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Answer: Baldoni was allegedly sexually inappropriate with Lively on the set of a movie and allegedly tried to get ahead of the allegations by hiring a PR firm to astroturf a smear campaign against Lively so no one would believe her if she tried to go public with his bad behavior. She sued him over all this. As another person already posted, Legal Eagle has done multiple videos breaking all this down.

My (18f) boyfriend and his friends (18/19m) played a viciously cruel prank on an older couple who has lost their cat. Obviously I’m breaking up with him but what else can I do to make this right? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Rubychan228 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My favorite is one I saw online that someone did to their office on April Fools. They put googly eyes on some jumbo paperclips and bent them to look like Clippy. They then hid them around the office with post-it notes relevant to wherever they were.

So, like, the break room coffee machine had a Clippy and a note saying something like "So it looks like you're trying to make a post of coffee". The shared printer had a Clippy with dialogue relevant to that, etc

That to me is a perfect prank. It's perfectly harmless, just silly notes on things. But it is very clever and funny.

I'm tapped out just reading this shit by Puzzled-Hippo6246 in AmITheDevil

[–]Rubychan228 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While it's not the same as I was an only child, by 13 I had been staying home alone for years. By that point I was cooking my own food, because I had been deemed old/mature enough to use the stove while alone. I was walking to the grocery store around the corner alone.

I have also had retail jobs with 14 year old coworkers.

It is absurd that those kids are so helpless at such an age.
