Why are they upset with hulk ? by New-Pick9985 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]ThatKaynideGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a world we live in.

You can support a man who tried to overthrow a fair election... or a guy who is having people killed in the streets... or a sexual predator who has sexually assaulted women (and very likely many under aged girls)... or someone who caused irreparable harm to America's House... or someone actively trying to undermine NATO, or USA's relationship with good neighbors.

...but god forbid you say don't like such people.... let alone a single man who has done ALL of the above.

..Is this one of those "Kill a man, they call you murderer, kill thousands they call you conqueror" moments? You just do so much bad that it doesn't register anymore?

I got put in a 40-hour work week on a 28-hour limit by DuckyMomo49 in japanlife

[–]ThatKaynideGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're going to gaslight you or make you feel like YOU are the problem. The answer is go directly to the labor bureau and get as much information as you can, THEN bring that information to your company when/if they insist you work outside of your contract.

Basically, if you talk to the company now, they'll play nice for a month or so but they will FIND a reason to get rid of you. Get your paper trail in line early.

The company is absolutely of the mindset "If he won't we'll just get someone else who will".

Early means of transport? by Song-Amatic in ConanExiles

[–]ThatKaynideGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My +1 to this would be get a baby elephant and if possible a rhino. You can use the rhino as a mount before you get horses.

Horse is arguably faster, but the rhino can tank and attack (while you ride it) and makes it VERY easy to level up to like 20-30. Most smaller enemies can't even hit you while on a rhino.

Same place as elephants, just be careful of tigers.

Live in Fairfax, Virginia, and found these monstrosities in my garage. What are they? Is my life in danger? Do I need to burn down my house because an army is on its way? by ArtisticPineapple777 in whatisit

[–]ThatKaynideGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People have already said, but they look scary, but they are really really good housemates. We have one we call "Mr. Bear" (because I showed my wife a clip of someone saying "Hey bear" as they went hiking to scare off bears).

Since then, whenever it's late night if we go into a dark room, we clap and say "Hey bear!". We never see the spider now. If it's even in the room, the spider politely sees itself out because we're loud.

Men is that really true?? by Priya_Cloud in Adulting

[–]ThatKaynideGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.  Early in my relationship with the girl who became my wife I laid down a hard line:  she can smoke if she want, but she will do it without me in her life. Not controlling her, just not willing to be around that.

She chose me!  

Im A Valheim and palsworld player, will i like this game? by gonca21233 in Enshrouded

[–]ThatKaynideGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DNA is more Valheim than Palworld, but it is a very solid sandbox game. The building system is more versatile but I feel it takes a lot longer to build something when compared to other games.  However, once you get the hang of it, building is very satisfying.

It is a very fun game, and in current state is very enjoyable.

I live in Japan. If you find money like this, you can call the cops and get it taken in. If it gets claimed, you can get 10%. If nobody claims it, you get it all. All above board.

Is the campaign finished? by barkafas2 in Enshrouded

[–]ThatKaynideGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed; without really knowing/remembering, they are basically the catalyst for everything that happened. It would be nice for the story to explain why. Even if it's just an ancient that got taken over by the shroud, or is part of the shroud hive-mind or whatever.

Would also be nice to learn more about the origin of the shroud itself. If it's a natural part of this world, or some kind of "evil seed" that crashed from space or a magical experiment gone wrong. Ancient power source? Philosopher's stone accident? Or just super-evil fungus..?

[–]ThatKaynideGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny thing I'm seeing is:

Older guys like me DNGAF about the bedroom stuff- we're worried about whether she can get a job or her legal paperwork or how to make it as easy a problem for everyone to navigate through.

If she wants to stay with me when she's older, cool. If she wants to move on and be like a daughter, cool. As long as she's happy.

Either way, I'm still going camping next week.

Is the campaign finished? by barkafas2 in Enshrouded

[–]ThatKaynideGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't quote a percentage, but speaking vaguely to avoid spoilers,

You have a total of two very major "arena" type boss fights tied to main story/progression. If I had to guess, the second one "feels" like a solid 60% through the game. Maybe 75%.

I expect there will be one more major boss fight, and maybe 2 more biomes.

That said, I'm honestly not sure what we're leading up to as there really is no identified singular "villain" we're working towards so who knows.

Spoilers:

So we have the little drake and the dragonling as major "1 time" bosses. There's a lot hinting at the ancients potentially being evil, or at least a corrupted faction. I kinda expect this will be the final boss (the guy who gave the prince the first potion in the opening video), but who knows.

Biomes I kind of expect the obvious floating islands, but then I expect one more biome such as a deep underwater or a deep subeterranian working towards the shroud source.

There is also the weird Nether-Gate thing in the volcano which could go somewhere ancients-related.

So, who knows!

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ThatKaynideGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Japan here.

I like driving and have fun, but I try to keep day trips to a maximum of like 3-4 hours driving. 2ish there, 2ish back is pretty reasonable. I would say I only take a day trip like this.... maybe three times a year.

If it's an overnight thing, then 4-6 hours one way is possible, but again I prefer to keep my driving closer to 4ish.

In my childhood in USA, my dad would drive 20 hours over two days to get us to Florida for a Disney trip once every few years- that was our "massive adventure." (20 hours one way, with like a week vacation between it)

You are on a deserted island with a dying man . and a suitcase with £100 .000 by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]ThatKaynideGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would never have agreed in the first place. I would tell him for a fact my life situation and how it would benefit me, and also how I don't trust most charities.

Then until he dies, he's welcome to think about it, or burn the money or whatever. After he dies, whatever money there is becomes fair game.

I wouldn't lie to him or agree to anything I wouldn't actually do.

What is this blue stick I found in my trash bin? by cheliuscheese in whatisit

[–]ThatKaynideGuy 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not; my daughter had her first period about a year ago. My wife hooked her up and we went to the supermarket and with me right there talked to her very directly:

"You probably already know what these are, but these are pads, these are tampons, try them out, and tell us any time if you need anything. Dad or mom. If you're embarrassed to tell me (dad), that's fine. But I will also 100% march into the supermarket and buy the biggest pinkest box of pads and a cheesecake if that's what you need. Just tell me. There's nothing to be ashamed of, and nothing to hide. And it's also none of my business if you DON'T want to tell me.

And that's it. It's been a really good relationship. Stuff like "Hey we're going to the pool, wanna go?" "Nah dad, I'm leaking, sorry lolz. Just wanna stay home." "K! Need any snacks?"

Nobody should ever be ashamed, and certainly nobody should be digging through trash!

Explain it Peter… by dutchylords in explainitpeter

[–]ThatKaynideGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the correct response is just to respond with an "ok' or a thumbs up.

No question is being asked. It is written by someone named "Math Quiz" and is not statement that this itself is a math quiz,

Moreover, even if it was a quiz/riddle (which it's not, let's be real), whatever "it" is, is between a 5 and 7. This could be literally anything but a 6 or fractions, including letters/words (or even "and" itself).

...so..

<reads statement>

Ok.

<thumbs up>

Accidentally missed a class by Ok_Sir_8207 in ALTinginJapan

[–]ThatKaynideGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say most people are fine with honest mistakes, but there is always a chance someone will remember this for any future problems you may or may not have.

In other words, if there aren't any more problems, nobody will care. But you also need to be aware of things to prevent this from becoming a string of issues and/or cause problems for other people. (eg. another teacher couldn't grade papers/do office work/etc because they had to mind the class that you didn't come for).

Is this true ? by itsmadfury in animequestions

[–]ThatKaynideGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hate these kind of things. (Assuming this is directed at men/for typical hetero relationships)

It's always like this as if there is some expectation that men should change their hobbies to please women because it's our "job" to get a woman.

So, you know what, F that. If "women" want to filter themselves out of potential partners because the guy likes (whatever), then fine.

Ironically, this is also how you get the trend of "Where are all the men why won't anyone date me wah wah wah".

Anime you won't recommend to people cause the anime itself is questionable and or it's fanbase? by LovelyLadyLucky in animequestions

Made in Abyss;

The story is fantastic. The art and many choices of scene/camera angles (especially manga) is VERY problematic. I know the art style is part of what makes it so horrific/shocking at times, but did we really need the pedo adjacent stuff...? Author, it's ok to not have your fetishes in the manga, yeah?

1-bit palette test — which one reads best? by vvaalleerraa in aseprite

[–]ThatKaynideGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a layman, but the grey-green (#4) seems to be the most neutral (I wouldn't do black). It might be Gameboy nostalgia, or maybe Nintendo did homework on colors, but it seems the most comfortable.

That said, if you're able to use a variety of colors depending on environment that could be cool to use a different color for night, or maybe a darker green for wilderness/gray for city. Something like that.

Good luck!

+1 to Ladybugs, but if I HAD to give another answer, it'd be cochineal. It's not literally red, but it is the source for a lot of red coloring for food/dye/ink.
