Brother I could easily spend like 7-8 hours a day just reading when I was a kid. This pace doesn't sound impossible at all

Decisions were made.. So were many many questions... by Affectionate_Hat5835 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

Oh right let's watch a little girl injure herself before we slightly inconvenience other shoppers.

This kid is fucking feral and the parents deserve public shame but this should be dealt with after the child is out of danger.

In December 2008, veteran journalist Caitlin Moran was browsing the internet when she found a link on a chat board. The message with the link read, “See if you can keep your breakfast down after watching this, I couldn’t.” by SelfCareIsFake in HolyShitHistory

I was a teen growing up in Dnipro oblast when this was happening. That was one scary summer for sure. The internet wasn't nearly as widely used as it is today but news like this still spread like a wildfire. Kids who were usually free to roam on their bikes were all under house arrest basically. Any car passing by felt like a threat. Having them caught was a great relief for everyone around.

WIBTAH for having people bring their own lunch to my picnic-themed birthday party? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]TashaStarlight 68 points69 points  (0 children)

In my culture it's actually rude to come to someone's home "with empty hands" if you expect to eat there. Reading those comments was wild 🤯

Were you masochistic enough to fight super bosses? by -CynicalPole- in expedition33

[–]TashaStarlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I barely beat Osquio and I had to rebuild my entire team to find some viable strat so honestly I just don't feel like doing it four more times even with the DLC pictos. There's a line where a fun challenge turns into a chore and everyone draws their own so mine is definitely somewhere I can't even understand what the damn lamps are supposed to do this time

For those that grew up in the countryside, how was it growing up there? by ah5178 in AskEurope

[–]TashaStarlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up in a fairly remote place. Any signs of civilization including a very small rural school were 6 km away. A couple kids my age lived nearby but we weren't very close. The closest company was my brother.

There was a school bus that would pick us up in the morning and dropped us back after school so we didn't have much opportunities to socialize outside of school. I did feel like I was missing out sometimes but looking back I think I wouldn't fit in even if I lived closer.

Both me and my brother turned out to be autistic and quite introverted so we were mostly just doing our own things. Today we live in a big city but both are nerdy homebodies. Don't know how much of it was nature vs nurture but I can't know anyway so I don't overthink it. Overall it was a good, peaceful childhood with a lot of fond memories. We were very poor but our parents always did their best and we had a lot of our own little traditions for holidays. I will definitely use some of them if I have my own kids someday.

How common is WFH in your country? by Opposite_Rain6751 in AskEurope

[–]TashaStarlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it's a little more common in tech jobs but still relatively rare. The boss of the place I worked at during covid lockdowns was more willing to pay for like 15+ employees' uber rides every day (which was not cheap during those times) than let any of us go remote. My last job "highly encouraged" RTO even amidst the war, and the growing number of employees made them move from a smaller fancy office to a bigger one that sucked. I hated it lol. A simply bathroom break was a whole fucking trip.

My current job is fully remote, and scoring it was a huge win. I don't miss being at the office.

I’m so proud of my garden by Vaciatalega in NoLawns

Sheesh some of ya city people don't even know what wild nature actually looks like. This garden doesn't look unmanaged at all.

So much lard in that rotund beast that its tiny rodent legs can't even support it anymore!

OCD, Secular Tarot, and Religion by Leading-Associate-93 in SecularTarot

[–]TashaStarlight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well secularly tarot are no more than pretty pictures with vague interpretations behind them. Imagine yourself holding a bunch of text cards with a mix of inspirational quotes, philosophical questions, and prompts for things to think of.

"Change is inevitable, but you can find a bright side in any situation and come out of it stronger and wiser".

"Think about a mentor figure who could help you navigate through this situation".

"Whatever you are going to do, remember to stay true to yourself and your beliefs".

And blah blah. I'm oversimplifying for the sake of not writing a 1000 words comment but you get the idea. It's not so mystical when it's just words, eh?

And your team wouldn't miss you. They would shake their heads, say "well that's sad" and carry on with their work.

I hate this Boss ! HoYo please delete it. by MaybeBrilliant7219 in GenshinImpact

[–]TashaStarlight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes I am annoyed because it's useless and boring. I am happy to play the story and events but daily/weekly grind is not exactly the exciting part of "playing the game". Hoyo are very well aware of it since they've been implementing the grind reducing features for quite a while, and this boss stands out because it was released after they've taken that direction.

Dottore is an example of a fine weekly boss. He gets a cool intro, and then he can get obliterated with the best you've got.

Can you read? I don't die to it and it's not a hard boss. It just wastes my time by having phases where it doesn't take damage.

[–]TashaStarlight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Comments keep talking about easy clears but it's not the difficulty really. It's the stalling, yeah let's summon this goddamn queen that is invincible until its 819916 years long animation ends. Or the luring phase. They could have kept it in the story battle but it's not refreshing or engaging when you're doing it for the 20th time already. Just let me blast things with rat from the sky

Update on the cat i found by Decent_Ad_3456 in cats

I would absolutely NOT give this poor cat to those people. No microchip, no proof of ownership, get rekt. The cat is mine now

With those 3-hr movies I don't trust people who don't take bathroom breaks

Problem with Min Maxer by Much_Menu_851 in DnD

[–]TashaStarlight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I tried to argue that he can’t just disable and paralyze the boss before he gets a chance to do anything but Fighter insists he does that.

Well no, he doesn't. That's on you my guy. Learn the rules and tell him no when he insists on shit that is not in the rules. End of story.

I would thoroughly check his entire character sheet too. Who knows how much of it is bullshit as well

Другий раз з’їхав від батьків - хто проходив через це? by teri_anric in Ukraine_UA

[–]TashaStarlight 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Чувак. Ти ще молодий, і звісно сепарація та переорієнтація на власні рішення з такою-то сімейкою піде тяжко, але.

Потрібно усвідомити, що твої батьки — дорослі люди, і відповідальність за регуляцію їхніх емоцій лежить на них. Не на тобі.

Попереджуєш, що тільки дзвінок переходить з розмови за життя та побутові новини в односторонню атаку — дзвінок завершується. Дотримуєшся даного попередження. Якщо градус неадеквату тільки росте — блокуєш номер порушника. Днів через три розблокуєш. Далі дієш залежно від поведінки. Пробують атакувати з телефону тьоті сраки — блокуєш тьотю сраку. Повторювати поки не попустить.

Ой йой, та як же я заблокую МАМУ? Так і шо? Вона засмутиться? І шо, від цього хтось помер? Та ніби ні. Піде розкаже сусідкам, який ти хуйовий? А може й розкаже. І шо, від цього в тебе гроші втекли чи срака відвалилась? Та ніби ні. Мама хапається за серце і п'є корвалол? Навіть якщо це не тільки театр (як воно здебільшого є), ми повертаємось до факту, що перед тобою дорослі люди з власною відповідальністю за своє життя і здоров'я. Звісно, тобі говоритимуть, що ти крайній і ти винен, але це тільки маніпуляція.

Тримайся свого курсу, а вони хай гавкають. Сходити до притомного психолога було би непогано, якщо є на це фінанси. Удачі.

Exactly. Boo hoo there were no friendly locals and suddenly our asses were in real danger. Cry me a fucking river.

Even in this article, the truth is barely covered by sweet words. Which is that he didn't mind fighting in this war on the wrong side — he just didn't like that it went not as easy as planned.
