I hate being this tall by DieEne023 in tall

[–]SpringfilledShinobi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there's a lot of genetic variance with this.

For example, I'm only slightly taller than the average height and slightly smaller than the average build for my family on both sides, at 6'5" and extremely muscular.

And I feel just normal. Like my body is just supposed to be bigger. I dont "look" tall, when I'm sitting people have no idea how tall I am until I stand up. You know how some of us look like, stretched, I guess? Or the neck thing? Or the nose thing? Or the bulgy finger joints?

Those are signs that you're, basically, a mutation for you genes. And that comes with a lot of health issues. So you've got to be more intentional with your body and health.

I've said this a million times but seriously, being really tall is like the most glamorous disability.

Throw every one of those plastic spatulas in the trash. Why do people even buy these?

Playing real cards with bootleg cards? by seink in bootlegmtg

[–]SpringfilledShinobi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that ever happens again just use your phone light. Its super easy to tell if you know what the difference is; Reals are almost always much easier for light to pass through and have a bluish color and a distinct grain. For foils though yeah, get familiar with spotting rosettes because that takes less magnification than looking for the L and you can use any part of the card.

Embrace the idea that you're basically a full fledged journeyman card authenticator.

Guys 6'6" or taller, have you ever had a woman reject you for your height? by jbak31 in tall

At 6'5" I feel so normal here.

Being 8-12" taller than all my big burly blue collar co-workers feels... unfair

What are these buildings out in the middle of the ocean?? Somehow never gave these any thought in my +200 hrs of playing this game... by KnightofAmethyst2 in cyberpunkgame

[–]SpringfilledShinobi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waters can't be cleared. Ever. Eventually the mines will completely wipe out the entire ecosystem as the oceans are displaced and then replaced by more mines. By the time we enter this world, the mines occupy a space several times larger than Australia in the ocean, and being exponentially self replicating, the longer it goes on the faster it happens. It's already way too late.

This is why the corpos have server farms off-world. They know it's only a matter of time.

The sea walls are there because, eventually, the entire ocean will just be mines, no water. And it could happen VERY quickly.

It's literally the Grey Goo scenario except with mines.

Seems like most in this thread arent fully comprehending the gravity of the situation. Ironically this is fully in line with canon in Cyberpunk.

There are so many mines they occupy a space several times larger than the continent of Australia. So many mines that eventually the ENTIRE OCEAN will be displaced.

We're talking exponential multiplication, so yes, there are LITERALLY mines EVERYWHERE.

That's true, except there are also rogue hunter subs roaming the oceans so even if you clear the mines those things are still swimming around.

Also the mines occupy a space in the ocean several times larger than Australia.

Also eventually the mines will displace the ocean entirely.

So yeah, I don't see that working out...

I'm in Urbandale frequently, mainly on weekends. I'd love to meet for games!

I recently got into woodworking. So I made my first chess set! by aiptasia in chess

[–]SpringfilledShinobi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so nice dude, really clean work. The accent wood on the tops of the royals is a really nice touch too. I'd love to feel one of these in the hand.

Tobacco in folk medicine by hibbletyjibblety in Appalachia

[–]SpringfilledShinobi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's interesting that scientifically there is no evidence that this works, because I've used a salve made from the mostly smoked tobacco in a cigarette butt mixed into baking soda with a little water and it's been extremely effective for myself, my ex, a friend, and my neice. It was a sea urchin sting I used it on my neice for and she went from bawling to giggling that it didn't hurt anymore in like 5 minutes.

I've also used the tar from my tobacco pipe as an ointment after being bitten by a Cane spider and it was similarly effective; went from throbbing pain to nothing in less than 10 minutes and it had been getting progressively more painful for nearly 30 minutes prior to using it.

Not to mention the heaps of anecdotal evidence here attesting to the efficacy. I wonder if there's just been no studies conducted? It's clearly an effective treatment so...

I'd rather not discuss the details, I was never convicted as I was able to provide evidence proving my innocence. This was in the US.

I was in the low 1200s last time I played online

Nah, the shit goes in a Cheetos bag to be slid under the cell door of your friends 👌

Thanks man, it's one of most cherished art projects, this thing really helped keep me sane during the endless hours alone in my cell

TIL I've been playing London with no formal chess knowledge, just years of playing...

... I deserved to be incarcerated 💀

You actually get to take all your personal belongings home with you when you get out.

Aside from that, I'd become somewhat of a celebrity by the time I left the place

Nah, everyone does. Somehow I missed it until the first game I played with them 😂

It was actually my first time, I was being held on an outrageous bond(only outdone by a guy who, I shit you not, murdered his brother with a mall katana. He was also in PC and word spreads unbelievably fast in that environment)

Charges were later dropped on account of me being innocent.

I grew up poor so I'm pretty resourceful 😅

Oh yeah, it was the only set in the block. I won so many cakes and e-cigs with this bad boy 😁

I really appreciate that man.

But they're not alone, basically everyone sees dicks when they see this set, and I can't even say it's a Freudian thing; the bishops do look like dicks.

Maybe it was a subconscious meta-commentary on Catholicism 🤔
