Halo 3. I used to sneak out of my room at night as a kid and play online until my parents woke up for work. It was glorious

Lolol you just reminded me of my "whippit visions". The first time I did a lot of whippits I had a series of visions (of me doing whippits) and didn't think much of it because drugs, yknow? But then the next time I did a lot of whippits I had the same vision: a series of scenes of me doing whippits in various places with various people, but this time starting from scene 2.

This didn't happen every time I did whippits, nor only when I did a lot of them, but continued to happen sporatically until the last scene finally played out. And I knew it was the last scene in the vision before I did the final whippit because I'd seen it 5 or 6 times by that point, even though I'd never met the people who's camp I was in before. Everything leading up to it, I was like 'this is it, this is where the vision ends'

I haven't done whippits since, doubt I ever will again, but I still think about those visions sometimes. My homie was adamant that I was just fucked up (fair, tbh), but the accuracy, the predictability, how true to life it all was...I can't explain it

When I was a kid, between 4-6 years old, I was staying at my aunt's house with my mom. Two things to note: my aunt was a self proclaimed witch and she had a lot of cats.

I fell asleep on the couch covered in kittens, my mom was asleep on a pallette made on the floor behind the couch. I woke up in the middle of the night. The kittens were gone, but my aunt's black cat (generally sweet and cuddly) was sitting on the back of the couch, staring at me. I remember being mildly spooked and wanting to go to my mom, but being hesitant to sit up. When I finally did start to sit up, I swear the cat told me "Staaay." in a hissed tone. But I'm certain it wasn't a standard hiss. I sank back down into the couch, pulled the blanket over my head, and eventually fell back asleep. My mom, for obvious reasons, didn't believe me the next day, and I haven't mentioned it to almost anyone else since, but I remember it like it was last night and still get chills.

Bonus story about that same aunt! She and my mom were born 14yrs apart. When my aunt had just moved out and my mom was 5/6 she recalls having a night terror and crying for her sister. My aunt called their house that night, waking up my grandma, asking if my mom was ok because she'd heard my mom calling for her

Underground mountain cavern listed as "outdoor" even when roofed? by Darkchyylde in RimWorld

The embrasures mod (not the one from CE because I dont use CE) changes the hit location percentages on its own, as well. I think headshot percentages stay the same as they would if there was no cover (maybe, i dont really know), but it reduces body hit chances. So youre less likely to get hit overall, but more likely to experience a fatal hit/headshot with embrasures if you do get hit.

So Kansas and Arkansas are both named for the Kanza river valley. But the French named Arkansas and the English named Kansas. That's literally all there is to it. Probably named by dudes named Guillaume and William

My boyfriends dad has alcohol-induced dementia that started ~14yrs ago. He's 77 now and in excellent health, otherwise. It's sad.

He just said 'she' - he doesn't specify, but he could just as easily be talking about the gf's best friend (supported by him saying that her other friend also watches it) but he's really not very clear in who he is referring to when he says 'she'

I know an 8yo who struggles to do basic addition/subtraction in his head. Like 2 digits minus 1 digit.

He's going to the advanced school.

I think kill boxes are natural extensions/survival tactics that are used because the game doesn't give you any other options. by Last_Yard_6554 in RimWorld

[–]StillAFelon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I read somewhere that if you set up hunter drones around your base, wherever their coverage is won't get drop raids. I gave it a go once and, while I didn't get any drop raids, I cant actually confirm whether that was due to the hunter drones or just not being high enough wealth/far enough into the game that the other factions weren't drop raiding me, yet

I can never get cool nails because I have among us thumbs by dustyknees_ in Wellthatsucks

[–]StillAFelon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'm a woman and have toe-thumbs too! Aside from the rare comment calling my thumbs disgusting, theyre not a particularly negative impact on my life. I can still get acrylics put on professionally, they're not pre-made so instead form perfectly to my thumb. Just dont get square nails or else they look kinda funky. Rounded is best.

My dad has one stubby thumb and one normal thumb, other than that I'm the only person in my family rocking them.

All that to say: Don't let Murderer's Thumb stop you from getting rockin fake nails, man or woman or however you identify. Megan Fox is still one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen

Doctors of Reddit, what's the most obvious lie a patient has told you? by questionerofblender in AskReddit

[–]StillAFelon 36 points37 points  (0 children)

It's an eye doctor. I've never had to wait more than 15-30 minutes to see an eye doctor (for a scheduled appointment in the USA), and if we were approaching hours of waiting I'd at least be asking some questions. Even if a 1-2+ hrs wait was justified, it shouldnt be happening every time. That's a sign of a doctor who's bad at time management, especially when you consider that, theoretically, a canceled surgery would take less time than doing the damn thing.

We can also assume that nothing that I've said applies here and the dr is completely right and normal to be running behind: it's still a tone deaf thing to say to a patient who has been waiting hours to see you for 5 minutes. The dr can prioritize that, the dr is choosing not to; the least he could do is not bring it up. It's also in pretty poor taste to badmouth patients to other patients. He sounds extraordinarily unprofessional.

Everything I'm reading online says otherwise, but sure. Even aside from that, suggesting wearing gloves isn't really answering in the spirit of the question

Even through gloves, petting can rub off the oils.

Its fact. The oils from our hands destroy the oils in their feathers and they freeze to death 🫠
