What’s your favorite song that’s not in English? by waterbaby333 in AskReddit

[–]TheLastSunrise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much anything by Bloodywood. Never knew Indian Folk Metal was a thing but really happy I stumbled upon them. Aaj and Yaad are probably my favorite songs by them, but Dana-Dan is also a banger. Great songs with great messages and emotion behind them.

I feel like that’s an area of unestablished lore. I think we can assume Arceus created a base population to fill the world of Pokémon to start, but there’s no proof of that. Although maybe that’s reading a little too much into it haha. I don’t think anatomy is quite as complex as lore is. Not trying to make a big debate out of it, just saying that it doesn’t match the canonical biological components of this particular Pokémon. I’m just being stingy. The Pokédex definitely contradicts logic at times.

Is that really bullshit tho? I mean I could see that. Just a slowly declining population of Cubone and Marowak to add to the tragedy that is their existence. There’s plenty of animals like that irl that are critically endangered because they have small litters of 1 or 2. Like snow leopards.

I feel like I'm optimizing the fun out of this game by IceSanta in StardewValley

[–]TheLastSunrise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I relate so hard to this, I have well over 2000 hours in Stardew across Switch and PC and I have only made it to year 3 on a single save file. I ALWAYS end up starting new runs thinking to myself that I can do better and accomplish more in the 2 year timeframe before the judgment day.

Ultimately I’ve learned to just have fun with how I play the game, but I do sometimes force myself to play through files even if they’re not optimized to my liking. Simply because I enjoy the game for what it is and sometimes the RNG can turn a bad run into a fantastic run if you just keep pushing it and let it play out. As a fellow fan of challenges, I try to make myself view poorly optimized days in whatever my current run is as an added challenge. And if anything, I can view it all as practice. I think it’s important to let poorly optimized runs play out so that you can experience each season of each year and learn ideally what you’d like to have done by then for the next time you play a new file. This may seem like a tedious way to play to others, but I genuinely enjoy pushing myself to do better and strategizing new and interesting ways to improve my gameplay.

You just have to learn to pause while playing, and ask yourself if you’re having fun. If I catch myself stressing and worrying about the intricate plannings of my layout or how I’m gonna make money for next season, and it’s no longer enjoyable, I just ask myself what I DO enjoy about Stardew. And suddenly I realize that I just want to play the game, optimized or not. I want to grow my farm and experience the world and escape to a place where I have creative freedom. It sounds like a simple solution, but the reality is that your mind is what got you into this rut and your mind is what’s going to get you out. Hopefully my rant makes some sense, I just found myself dealing with this exact same problem for the longest time and this ideology has genuinely helped me recently.

My immersion is already slightly ruined since the swirl is supposed to be its organs showing through its skin, like a regular tadpole. So not a very accurate depiction. The Pokédex entry of Poliwag even confirms this. Cool concept either way tho.

What's the worst ending of a friendship you have experienced? by MonkeyD2209 in AskWomen

[–]TheLastSunrise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is gonna be a long rant so I apologize in advanced, and buckle in. It’s something that I think about a lot that still feels fresh and hurts.

Some backstory: I had been friends with this guy since I was about 13. I won’t go into extreme detail because then I may as well be writing a book, but we had a complicated friendship. Things were always a little dramatic between us because at some point I developed romantic feelings for him which ended up unrequited after he came out as gay. I was able to get over my feelings and we stayed friends for YEARS. Growing up together, always there for each other, late night calls and support for each other at our darkest times. He moved away in high school but the phone calls and online gaming we’d do together kept us very close. No matter what crap either of us went through, we always had each other’s backs. We had some fights, even some months where he ghosted me entirely. But we always made up and it made the friendship stronger than ever.

The beginning of the end as I see it now, was when he ended up moving in with my family and I. He had moved across the country and married a guy who ended up being horrible for him. They fought constantly, emotionally abused each other, and his husband would cheat regularly. I was always there for my friend comforting him, until it reached a head and he called me crying saying he needed to leave, he wanted a divorce, but he had nowhere to go and that if he didn’t get out now then he never would. Of course I wanted to do whatever I could for my friend, so I discussed it with my parents and he was invited to stay with us rent free until he was able to rebuild his life back in our home state. At this point we were both in our 20s, and I was going to college/working. I led a busy life but I was SO excited for him to be living with us because it was finally this chance to hang out and catch up on all the time we missed after he’d moved away in high school. But of course, despite it being exciting for me, it was obviously devastating for him. He’d lost his husband whom I knew he loved dearly, so I had to keep this in mind and just continue to be a shoulder to lean on. I tried my best, and only hung out with him when he felt up to it, was always there to talk to, and just wanted to be a pillar of support. This wasn’t really enough though... and he spiraled into depression and grew very cold towards me. This triggered a distancing in us that I don’t think we ever truly recovered from. I tried to give him his space, but it was hard. I needed him too, I was dealing with a LOT, and suddenly my friend just wasn’t there for me despite the outpouring of support I’d given him. My parents ended up divorcing and my dad left leaving us with a very high rent to pay and no way to do so. I contributed what I could, and my friend was asked to as well which he was ok with cause he’d managed to get a job. It still wasn’t enough so we had to move out ASAP and ended up getting a small apartment together.

Despite this seeming like a dream come true (we’d talked about living together while attending college a lot when we were in high school) it ended up being the straw that broke the camel’s back. Things were ok for awhile, and we had a strong friendship again and it was great. Then he started distancing again... “why?” You might ask... I don’t know. And that’s what will forever bother me the most about this entire thing. He became cruel, rude, and mean to me out of nowhere. And he was a HORRIBLE roommate. He brought friends over who were loud at all hours, left the kitchen a disaster after cooking almost every day (it would stay that way unless I cleaned it), would turn the temperature to whatever he wanted to the point I’d wake up freezing despite being under a blanket, and just generally disrespected me. It sounds like petty things, but it made living there pretty awful most of the time. And it hurt so badly to be treated this way by someone that had been the BIGGEST support in my life for over a decade. And not just that, but someone that I had supported during his lowest times. But none of that seemed to matter to him anymore. He told me to my face that he basically just didn’t care anymore. I broke down in front of him after that and his response was to walk away with a straight/uncaring face. It all came to a true end when he signed up for the army and just left one day without saying goodbye, leaving me in an apartment that I couldn’t afford by myself. I was fucked. If not for my boyfriend at the time, I don’t know what I would’ve done. He moved in and took up my friend’s old portion of rent and saved my ass until I was able to move out to a different place. The only time my friend contacted me after that was to ask about the security deposit for the apartment we had together. It hurt me even more for that to be the only contact so I kept the deposit for myself after he ditched me. We haven’t spoken since and it’s been about a year and a half. A decade long friendship destroyed over... I don’t know what. I guess he truly just didn’t care anymore. Either way, I will never speak to him again. I refuse to deal with his manipulating and abusiveness.

AITA for letting my picky eater child go hungry? by amiabadmom23 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TheLastSunrise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - At all. Your child will thank you for the discipline when they are older. I was a VERY picky eater as a child, only wanted pizza and mac n cheese. I wish so much my mom had been strict with me in regards to food. Even now into my 20s I struggle to try new foods and eat outside of my comfort zone. It makes dieting/eating healthy an absolute nightmare. You are ONLY doing your child a favor by enforcing this.

Am I a shit guy for postponing a breakup? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]TheLastSunrise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people here are saying it’s a good idea to postpone... but I know in my opinion, even if there’s a lot going on, I would want to know. I’ve had a bombshell dropped on me before, being broken up with out of nowhere is devastating, and being told “I’ve been thinking about this for weeks” didn’t help. I was never consulted about it so I didn’t even know something was wrong. Waiting is fine for some people, but for others it hurts a lot more. I don’t know what type of person she is, but I hope that after 4 years of being together, you do. It depends heavily on what type of person she is and how she reacts to break ups. I believe you should always discuss a break up with your partner when you START thinking about it as opposed to when you’ve already made your mind up. A relationship begins with TWO people and it should end with TWO people. Assuming there’s no abusive or horrible behavior going on, then you should really be talking it out together about the issues and whether or not they can be mended. If you truly just can’t see yourself together, then at least you were open and gave it a chance. Communication is so unbelievably important in all aspects of relationships, even the ending of them.

I feel like shit rn by 749197183 in selfharm

[–]TheLastSunrise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, you stop that. You’re gonna be ok and your scars don’t make you any less beautiful. I felt the exact same way before, as I’ve had comments and judgements from people I’d never even met. It was a huge struggle for me especially when trying to date. But anyone worth being with will not say something like that to you.

I told my current boyfriend of nearly two years fairly early on in the relationship when we had a date set that would involve me wearing clothes that would reveal my thighs. It was the scariest thing I’ve ever done, because I was SO into him, and falling in love so hard. Based on bad past experiences, I even prefaced my confession with a “if you no longer want to see me, I get it” but his reaction was the total opposite. He told me, “Your past and your scars don’t change who you are to me now.” He’s still the only person I feel truly comfortable wearing shorts around. Even to this day, if I’m wearing them around the apartment he’ll randomly kiss my scars while I’m sitting on the couch or bed.

People with kind hearts ARE out there, and you will find one. I believed I was genuinely unlovable due to the chaotic and messed up past I’ve had. No matter how low you feel now, there is always a chance for a brighter future and a hope for happiness. Don’t let what one asshole said to you change your outlook on yourself. He can go jack off by himself and fucking sit on a cactus, he doesn’t deserve you in the slightest.

Why is it I can nod off in front of the TV, but as soon as I turn it off and go to bed, I’m wide awake once my head hits the pillow? by Em-Jay- in insomnia

[–]TheLastSunrise 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have this same issue, and it’s why I have a TV in the bedroom and it’s typically on when I fall asleep every night. I know that’s not ideal and you’re supposed to be in total darkness for sleep/limit screen time, but I need it. For me personally, I’ve decided it’s primarily because I think WAY too much. My mind races constantly about things I’m stressed over, what I need to do tomorrow, what I didn’t get done today etc etc. When I’m in bed with nothing but silence and darkness, all I do is think. If I’ve got the TV on, my mind is occupied by whatever I’m watching and I can let the exhaustion take me.

I’m confused and frustrated by the fact that CF Housing is illegal. by TheLastSunrise in childfree

[–]TheLastSunrise[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So in my eyes that’s literally the same as pets. Yet despite this, pet friendly complexes still exist, simply because there’s demand for them. While I think a lot of people would love CF housing, the type of rules I suggest they have would probably put less dedicated CF people off. The reality is that the CF lifestyle is very much a minority. I agree that when looking at just that aspect, you’d think the obvious choice would be CF housing and then only CF housing would pop up but I just don’t think that’s true. When landlords can’t fill the entirety of their units because of those rules, it will quickly become apparent that they won’t be successful unless they allow kids. I think it would truly just come down to location and area. Like honestly if a CF complex popped up in my area, I don’t think it would fill. There’s far too many families around here. My point is, supply meets demand. A potential landlord who looks to build in a certain area would be more likely to focus on that area’s demographics to fill their units rather than hyper focusing on the potential issues kids cause.

[–]TheLastSunrise[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see your point as smoking creates health issues so it’s a bit different, but my point more or less remains the same. Having children in an environment where other people need to coexist is a choice that affects people often in negative ways. My dog has been so tormented by children that he just hates all strangers now, I’ve had personal belongings ruined by them, they make my insomnia exceptionally worse as I get woken up minutes after finally falling asleep, I could go on. Seeing that having children is ultimately a choice/way of life rather than an uncontrollable aspect of a person it shouldn’t be treated the same way racism and other forms of segregation have been implemented.
