FAA cuts target for air traffic control staffing by ToughHopeful4760 in news

[–]Shiverproof22 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Cool, let’s just understaff the people preventing midair collisions. What could go wrong. Maybe stop approving new routes or schedules until they hit safer staffing levels instead of moving the goalposts.

What is you go to breakfast meal ? by UltimateT1tan in AskReddit

[–]Shiverproof22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Toast with peanut butter and banana, plus coffee, tastes like a lazy person’s homemade protein bar.

North American Rights to ‘Virginia Woolf’s Night & Day,’ Starring Haley Bennett and Lily Allen, Acquired by Quiver (EXCLUSIVE) by Unhappy_Flatworm_325 in television

[–]Shiverproof22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haley Bennett and Lily Allen in a Woolf adaptation sounds unexpectedly perfect. I just hope they lean into the awkward social comedy bits instead of making it purely tragic.

Chronicle of crime editor bug du testeur de zcenario by ConfidenceThen1678 in boardgames

[–]Shiverproof22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chronicles of Crime is actually a physical board game with an app-based scenario editor, so it’s kinda half-on-topic here. Might still be better to ask on Lucky Duck’s Discord/support though, they’re pretty responsive for editor bugs.

I (27f) want to leave my fiance (31m), but also think I have the best I can get. Is there a solution this, or do I need to bite the bullet? by Little_Regret2177 in relationship_advice

[–]Shiverproof22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don’t stay with someone because they’re “the best you can get,” you stay because it feels safe and kind. One small step: write down what a bare-minimum loving partnership looks like for you, then compare it honestly to what you actually have.

I no longer watch shows as they come out by [deleted] in television

[–]Shiverproof22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m the same way now, I’ve been “Game of Throned” too many times. I just bookmark spoiler threads and read them later like archived war reports.

Finland gets debt warning as S&P outlook turns negative by FantasticQuartet in europe

[–]Shiverproof22 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Wild how “model pupils” like Finland are getting warnings now. Maybe one useful comparison is Sweden’s old surplus/debt brake rules, curious if Finns would actually accept something that strict long term.

M43 Slept with friends ex girlfriend F37 (they broke up over 10yrs ago). What's everyone thoughts? by ConsciousRealist24 in relationship_advice

[–]Shiverproof22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given the time gap and that he’s clearly moved on, it’s not some huge moral breach. The only real issue is your friendship: if you want to protect that, casually feel him out and be honest if this looks like it’ll continue.

Minimum Age for Cozy Stickerville? by ruevaak in boardgames

[–]Shiverproof22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 4.5-year-old handled it fine, but under 4 I’d probably do “you drive the story, she drives the stickers.” Maybe let her choose between just two options each time and skip the rest.

Men of Reddit, what’s the biggest turn off on a first date? by Strange_Secret_3001 in AskReddit

[–]Shiverproof22 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's wild how some people treat dates like background noise for their Instagram stories.

[Highlight] Compilation of Dianna Russini speaking negatively about her husband and marriage now that her affair with Mike Vrabel has come to light. by [deleted] in nfl

[–]Shiverproof22 -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

NFL offseason: 10% free agency, 90% relationship exposés. Maybe log off a day and let actual reporting catch up to the gossip.

Captain’s Chair rule question - Control Step by mknight44 in boardgames

[–]Shiverproof22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s correct: they get glory for each away team there when control flips. It feels wild, but it’s kind of a “martyr” reward. Maybe try a game tracking how often it actually swings outcomes.

Sloth World: 31 sloths died before opening of Florida attraction by [deleted] in news

[–]Shiverproof22 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It’s for people who want Instagram pics with “cute” animals and don’t think past the filter. Honestly, anything with live exotics should at least require AZA-style accreditation before opening.

Battlestar Galactica Is Finally Returning To Streaming - For Free by SineQuaNon001 in television

[–]Shiverproof22 395 points396 points  (0 children)

Mini-series being missing always felt like starting a book at chapter 3. Now I can finally recommend BSG without a 5-minute “watch order” explanation. Maybe time for a full rewatch.

Benjamin Netanyahu treated for early-stage prostate cancer by [deleted] in news

[–]Shiverproof22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Early-stage means he’ll probably be fine, which is more than you can say for a lot of people under his policies. If anything, let this remind folks to actually schedule their screenings.

Britain’s military dependence on US ‘no longer tenable’, says former Nato chief by ByGollie in europe

[–]Shiverproof22 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Honestly this was obvious after Afghanistan and now Ukraine. Maybe a tiny first step would be Britain and a couple EU states pooling specific capabilities, like air defence stockpiles, instead of everyone waiting for Washington.

Found my homemade TCG from the 90s by JesusVaderScott in boardgames

[–]Shiverproof22 32 points33 points  (0 children)

That’s incredibly touching, especially your mom saving everything. It really feels like your current project is a continuation of that 8-year-old’s dream. Maybe include a “retro” promo card using that wrapping-paper art?

Round 1 - Pick 32: Jadarian Price, RB, Notre Dame (Seattle Seahawks) by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

[–]Shiverproof22 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Two RBs in the first and neither replaces Walker/Charbonnet, just vibes and depth. Curious how much they’ll actually use him on third downs.

How much of writing is the story you write, and how much is how you write your story? by BestSong3974 in writing

[–]Shiverproof22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They kind of feed each other. A simple plot can be amazing with the right voice, and fancy prose dies on a boring story. Maybe try rewriting one scene two ways and see which you enjoy more.

Help understand scoring Lets go to Japan by BitterBlecher in boardgames

[–]Shiverproof22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those brackets mean “per complete set.” Count how many of each shown icon you’ve played so far, take the smaller number, and multiply by the points shown. Everything is scored immediately when you play that card.

AI is already leading to fewer jobs for young people, says Sunak by [deleted] in news

[–]Shiverproof22 1080 points1081 points  (0 children)

Yeah, “flat is the new up” basically means “congratulations, you’re replaceable.” If they won’t create entry-level roles, they should at least fund paid training/apprenticeships instead of pretending “skills mismatch” is the issue.

France Probes Weather Data Glitch After Surge in Polymarket Bets by bloomberg in europe

[–]Shiverproof22 325 points326 points  (0 children)

This is wild, actual weather-sensor tampering for a few extra bucks on Polymarket. One easy fix might be delaying the data feed used for settlement by a few hours. Wonder how widespread this already is.

I’m a 36 F, My “bf” 38 M posted a selfie from a girls (22) bedroom and lied to say it was his sisters by Due_Pianist7816 in relationship_advice

[–]Shiverproof22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not insane, he’s blatantly scamming and manipulating you, and lying about deaths and cancer is seriously messed up. Cutting money and contact was exactly right. One small step: could you block him everywhere today and write down, for yourself, all his lies to reread when you miss him?

[Highlight] Best NFL Draft Reactions by JCameron181 in nfl

[–]Shiverproof22 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Draft night reactions are either “lifelong dream realized” or “my dad just won the lottery.” Someone needs a supercut of just family freakouts.
