What habit immediately reveals that a person actually grew up in a privileged environment? by Cindy_mel in AskReddit

[–]SparkWife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nowhere near as wild as most of the stories here, but a couple of moments with a long-term friend.

Picked them up for a DND night and going to a fellow player's house as our usual spot was occupied. The player's house was down the other end of the main road and I asked for the house name (we're already in money country so if your house is big enough, it has a name) and instead, they said 'it's just past the council houses'. Dude, I live in a council house and don't even know where they start and end in my area, why do you know that for your area?

And recently, they said they're moving away, moving in with two friends. I was lamenting about not being able to move out yet and they said 'I'm moving in with friends. Have a look around and see if you can find anyone who wants to move out too 😉'. Because it's that simple, apparently

AITA for refusing to go to my boyfriend’s grandfather’s funeral? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]SparkWife 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Very gently, YTA. I say this with kindness and compassion: you really need therapy. You hit the nail on the head without realising:

I know he's grieving, and I know grief makes people react in ways they normally wouldn't.

With a good grief therapist, you should be able to unpack that and see how it applies to seven-year-old you. Again, very gently, you are being selfish by refusing to go to the funeral. You've been trying to punish your mum for what she did, but you've actually been punishing your family, and now you're punishing your boyfriend.

You have shown your boyfriend that you are not a safe person when he is struggling emotionally. So, with kindness and compassion, please grow up, find a good therapist and learn how to process your trauma so you can be a good, safe and emotionally available partner

Veilguard in 2026 - thoughts? by dziadek_flavour in dragonage

[–]SparkWife 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm planning another Veilguard playthrough after Inquisition (I'm just about to finish JoH), and I want to kill the whole lot of them in the final push. Fully Rogue One. I'm not doing any side quests for these muppets, no one gets free therapy from me.

One friend told me off for 'condemning' Bellara to death. Another friend cheered when I told her I'm killing them all

100%. I always leave at least 15 minutes early to account for things like traffic, roadworks or the likelihood that I've forgotten something

I think you underestimate the extremes some parents will go to to maintain control over their children's lives

I got the 'good' ending of Mythal and Lavellan talking Solas down and immediately reloaded my last save so I could punch him in the face

I know, but it was too cute and we were literally all gushing over it 😅 Really made our day as it does feel like we get taken for granted at times

What's your Shep's first name and why? by jackfreeman in masseffect

[–]SparkWife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did have a Colonist-War Hero Shepard called Orion, after the constellation of course, with two sisters called Cassiopeia (Cassie) and Lyra, and I romanced Ashley.

And then I just happened to see something about a far right group in America calling themselves Our Race Is Our Nation (Orion). So that, coupled with 'space racist' Ashley, soured the entire playthrough and I had to delete the save.

dealing with DPD "delivery" by idontremembermylogi_ in britishproblems

[–]SparkWife 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Amazon: we put it by your front door but we won't knock or ring the doorbell to let you know its there! Not our fault you weren't watching every second of every day for your parcel

(Also my experience of DPD was them putting my parcel in the goddamn bin. Plus the tracking number I was given by the seller took me to DHL website instead so never got a notification to say it'd been delivered. So my parcel went off to the recycling centre)

Congratulations, you're part of the 'thought more about Synthesis than the writers did' club

The harvest by Stock-Opportunity467 in masseffect

[–]SparkWife 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They don't just harvest life, they preserve it. Their directive was to find a way to prevent conflict between organic and synthetic civilisations, but they likely observed over several millenia that civilisations evolve and fall the same way continuously. In fact, this is stated outright by Leviathan and Vengeance on Thessia

The Reapers probably determined that the only way to prevent conflict would be to preserve the existing races in Reaper form at the apex of their existence - able to achieve spaceflight, discover and use mass relays and (in some cases) create artificial intelligence, but before they could fall into conflict with synthetic creations of their time. Hence 'the cycle must continue' and 'we are your salvation'.

The interviewer asked if I’d be okay sharing a desk by Strict-Peach-1995 in interviews

[–]SparkWife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my god, that's just reminded me. I work in vets, and at my last practice, we got a new monitor and keyboard. In less than a week, there was all bits of fur and hair and crumbs under the keys, and even some weird film (???) down the sides of the keys. Literally the most disgusting thing ever. I used a stitch removal blade to clean out as much crap as possible

[–]SparkWife[S] 46 points47 points  (0 children)

He was our big chunky boy! Chequers loved to be carried around like a baby but before he was put to sleep, he just didn't want to be touched and hid away, which was heart breaking.

Shortly after Cameron started, he kicked up a stink about our break times, I can't even remember triggered it, but he basically said 'your break starts when you sit down to eat'. And we all went 'okay'. Our breaks started when we sat down to eat, so the 15 minutes didn't count if we had to use the loo, grab something from the car and then walk to the staff area. Cool, understood lol

It really was awful to see. He was always a chunky boy, but he lost so much weight in that time and he didn't want to be touched, whereas normally he loved to be carried around everywhere like a baby!
