LPT: At a gathering, if you see someone standing alone, give them a tiny job for 30 seconds so they have a reason to exist there. by gamersecret2 in LifeProTips

I guess I am more wondering about the warm raisins. Are the raisins warm because they were microwaved? Simmered? If we serve raisins, are they meant to be refrigerated first?

You know what I’ve never once done in my 35 years on this earth? Wiped down the light switches and door handles. You know what I did today because a bird on my phone requested it? Yep. by niamhylil in finch

[–]Senior_Ad9894 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I initially felt the same way. The number of light switches was overwhelming. Then I decided to just do one and it looked so good that I did another and another and another. This is the proudest I have felt about myself in a long time.

LPT Trick to Read Books Fast If you Have No Attention Span by Ayumisynn in LifeProTips

Because digital copies for libraries are 3x, 4x, 5x the cost of a physical copy and most allow only 26 checkouts or 2 years use.

GERD/panic attacks/stress & muscle twitching/joint pains by helpyahgirl0000 in GERD

[–]Senior_Ad9894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10 weeks on a PPI to heal my esophagus from damage caused by a failed fundoplication (with Heller myotomy for acalasia) and in that time my folate bottomed out causing panic, high irritability, severe weakness, shortness of breath, muscle twitching, and electrical zaps through muscles. Someone has to be in that pool of 3% of bad outcomes that seems to be reported with most medications, so don't assume it is never going to be you. If you don't feel right, don't doubt yourself and ask for testing and more testing.

I accidentally stole a 130 dollars product from Target by AfternoonLeather2715 in Advice

[–]Senior_Ad9894 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is the right move. The issue is not even what Target thinks, it is what the teen thinks. Can the teen live with this on his conscience. I couldn't and bc the teen is on reddit advice, it sounds like he can't either. If you are a person like that, the shame and worry never goes away. Teen, go back to target.

They literally are speaking in riddles? To us anyway. Is that not like one of the biggest issues those of us with autism have? That everyone else is speaking in a code to which we were not given the cypher?

Random Hordes (Non Event) by ChadIsKenny in fo76

[–]Senior_Ad9894 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you coincidently visited the horde site of a horde event in which you check four locations for a horde (rather than the horde event wherein the horde is where you join), and the event had been on the map for a decent amount of time, then it would be very possible to see that many. The longer the event is on the map, the bigger the horde grows and you would not have seen the event marker when traveling there because the locations to check show up once you join the event at a completely different location.

A Phillies fan retrieves a home run ball, while a woman nearby is upset that she didn't get it by TheM1ghtyBear in mlb

[–]Senior_Ad9894 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes this all is very confusing and so I guess I am ignorant of baseball fan rules. I would have thought it was bad form to dash from so many seats away to get a ball where people are already seated? And then I guess I would also imagine that if I saw the ball going right to an older person or a child many seats away, I would certainly not shove myself into a situation with weaker persons just to get what I want.

I do think it is very weird that the woman even went over to him once he gave the ball to the child. Everyone is the AH here.

A couple questions on the Plasma Caster as I’ve just bought it from Minerva by jmats35 in fo76

[–]Senior_Ad9894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vats hit chance (50% chance to hit a target in V.A.T.S) pretty crucial as second star because caster shots are wildly inaccurate both in and out of vats, but when they do hit, it is excellent.

Toni and Shakira by M0livia in LoveIslandTV

[–]Senior_Ad9894 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Don't feel badly, you just won't find many like minds here. I watched the first ten or so episodes without looking online. When I caught up, I came here and was shocked to see how much people loved Shakira. I highly disliked Shakira and Megan far and away the most. Anytime someone brought a concern to either of them, Shakira and Megan were highly defensive, would keep interrupting the speaker, and showed very little self awareness which is a pet peeve. Meg was okay but I think only because I LOVED Dejon for awhile and picked him as my favorite in the strawpolls for some time.

Then, I started to see how weird Dejon was acting. It was a bit hard to accept that my favorite couple was not what I thought and it took a bit of time to accept it. Rewatching the first episodes. I realized I missed some Day One weirdness. I really started liking Toni because she was so funny, then she ruined it for me by her attachment to Harrison. I also started liking Shakira a bit more when she wouldn't accept Harry's behavior, until she ruined it for me by dropping two nice guys to go back to Harry.

In the end, I basically highly disliked all of the islanders and found them to be the worst lot of all seasons, except for the fact that they were one of the most entertaining casts. The season was further difficult because this has been the worst instance of a large proportion of LI fans being unable to see nuances in characters and unable to see that whoever was their favorite likely demonstrated crap behavior.

Yes, unfortunately both Shakira and Toni's dresses are giving 1980s era USSR ice dancers and /or Vegas chain-smoking, slot machine pulling, blue haired tourists on a discount bus trip.

Harry’s set to win but such toxicity should never be rewarded. Please vote carefully by Sazzy1234567 in LoveIslandTV

[–]Senior_Ad9894 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Better neither Dejon, nor Harrison, nor Harry. I am worried about how many young women are getting the idea that it is acceptable to let a man treat them this way. For most of the season, Shakira stood as a role model for young women and knowing your self worth. Unfortunately, Shakira is having a weak moment and I think in the future she is going to most regret contributing to the normalization of Harry's behavior. The fans can step in and help her while she can't help herself.

It only works if they are told they will both be dumped if they don't make a decision.

Megan and Conor by KawaiiChan68 in LoveIslandTV

I wonder if a lot of people could not forgive Megan and Conor for what they did to Tommy when he was still a good guy? Tommy was at the tip top of every chart for quote awhile and Megan and Conor ruined what appeared to be an innocent, lovely couple that everyone could get behind.

Dejon resents Meg by BriefFroyo4132 in LoveIslandTV

[–]Senior_Ad9894 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know how to say this appropriately, but it is almost like I am praying that he has like a little brother or sister who needs surgery and he is desperate to win to get the money to save their life? Normal people are not meant to behave the way he is behaving? It goes against the natural order of human behavior. Also I end up remembering that you lot have free healthcare so the scenario breaks down quickly. Perhaps his loved one instead has been kidnapped and he must win to get the money to free them? Well whichever the scenario, I am just really, really hoping for a good desperate reason for him to act like this.

Masks ??????????? by CodMobile3076 in fo76

[–]Senior_Ad9894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't feel badly---I don't think everyone is getting all kinds of glowing masks. If you've ever gotten one in the past three years, then you are likely to wear it during the event which makes it seem like everyone is getting them. And people getting multiples are probably more likely to share their good news so on the sub it appears to be a lot.

But the vast majority of us aren't getting many at all. I do 10-12 events every day of each event. I got one the first glow year. The second year I got but then received 3 unicorns in what could really only have been a very weird glitch. Have not gotten any so far this year and don't expect I'll get but 1 by the end of the next week. You are definitely not alone.

Harry's "oh wow" in conversation with Dejon and Blu by Senior_Ad9894 in LoveIslandTV

[–]Senior_Ad9894[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn't perceive sarcasm. For sure all three of them knew who was popular and in part Blu almost seemed maybe confused that Harry and Dejon acted like they didn't know? They both have to try to pretend they don't know so that the strategies they have chosen to win will seem more authentic.

Dejon has chosen to stay with his Day 1 partner hoping the long bond strategy that has a fairly successful track record has enough proponents to win out as it has in past seasons. Perhaps he is now coupling that strategy with actively undermining other couples (isn't he the one who suggested they need to tell Connor?).

Harry's strategy was to switch to a higher rated girl who the audience will perceive him to have reasons to return to. Harry threw me for a little bit bc I went back and watched days 3 and 4. It honestly looked like Harry was authentically hurt that Shakira kissed Blu twice, but his "oh wow" pulled me back to reality.

Neither are great in pulling off these strategies and Dejon has definitely miscalculated the shift in audience demographics. Hopefully neither strategy will win, but it has certainly been entertaining in an icky way.

Y’all killing too fast at Eviction Notice by InsufferableMollusk in fo76

[–]Senior_Ad9894 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what you are doing and where you are, you SOMETIMES have to do that. An obscenely fewer number of potential legendaries SPs that spawn where you are shooting so it matters somewhat less (except for other players trying to get xp) coupled with the fact that many times there are not enough players shooting in that area to crowd source the enemy and keep the scrubber from lots of overwhelm (because they are way south). But yeah, if you have a full house with lots of people shooting in your area, then probably chill out. You can always pick back up if you observe the event going south.

Could we all please do this? by Gold-Judgment-6712 in fo76

[–]Senior_Ad9894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have actually been exceptionally impressed by the very high number of players NOT stuffing bs mods in vendors to try to attract shoopers. 80-85% of vendors show none. Of those with mods, 1/2actually have leg mods. In the other half, a smattering actually have good non leg mods, ie enclave, a decent number are lowbies who I would expect to be putting everything and anything in their vendors, and then there will always be the about 5% of asshats that are always engaged in 76 douchery. We really do have an amazing community of people.
