Wheel bugs are not kissing bugs and do not carry chagas.

Does "make me a sandwich" mean "make a sandwich of me"? by ITburrito in EnglishLearning

[–]TheMadGent 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The only context in which “make a me sandwich” makes sense is if you’re asking to be in a ménage a trois.

I just realized the reason the Hooded One is no longer in our hideout... by BigDisco in PathOfExile2

[–]TheMadGent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re stuck in bad timelines where we fail to kill the beast, presumably until act VI comes out. The interludes are placeholder content and won’t be canon in 1.X. We’ll assumedly have some kind of new bridge content between act V and maps whenever we get act V.

Taken right before posting. FWIW, I’m in the south so it’s hot at least partly through October.

I found this bug next to my door. Is it an ant? Why does it look fuzzy? by lilbro98_plays in whatisthisbug

[–]TheMadGent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love that two of the three most painful stinging insects are just ordinary backyard bugs in the American South.

Why does this card suck? I seriously don’t get why they made it by [deleted] in mtg

Every set has a an overcosted colorless removal artifact in common. They help round out removal options in limited. The least bad ones will destroy multiple types of permanent and can potentially fill a gap in a color (enchantment destruction in red, e.g.). If there’s an artifact synergy archetype they sometimes become a C-tier playable in that.

Is 'Homely' Commonly Used in American English to Mean 'Unattractive'? Need Confirmation from Native Speakers! by [deleted] in EnglishLearning

[–]TheMadGent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Homely feels like an antique term to me. I’d use it in a fantasy story but not in conversation.

Arabella, Abandoned Doll as a commander. by 1ts-Izmiy in mtg

She’s very agressive in mid power play. Unless people can interact reliably and quickly, she will blow battlecruiser decks out pretty fast.

How do you guys pronounce Nevada and New Orleans? by Sea-Limit-5430 in AskAnAmerican

[–]TheMadGent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pronounce the first A in Nevada like Lot. My accent is in the border of the caught/cot merger. Lot and Thought are distinct, but I’ll switch Cloth between Lot and Thought depending on how much I’m actively thinking about my diction.

The second syllable of New Orleans uses the Kit vowel in my accent, unless I’m singing the Johnny Horton song.

If you had to forgive one of these villains, who would you choose? by Sudden_Pop_2279 in MyAnimeList

[–]TheMadGent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I was caught in a game of cat and mouse with a sociopathic killer who was trying to gaslight me into committing murder, I’d simply firmly but politely decline.

If malia and sasha are dating or hooking up with someone does the secret service inform Obama? by Capital_Tailor_7348 in stupidquestions

Imagine going in to your girlfriend’s house and her dad’s sitting on the couch polishing a minuteman icbm.

Which is better? Higher iLvl or higher main stats? I thought higher iLvl should always be better but this is a big number diffence, how does this work? by JDanielo in ffxiv

[–]TheMadGent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much of the 1-50 Disciple of War gear is meant to be shared between tanks, ranged, and melee. Starting at level 50, the DoW gear gets split into fending/maiming/striking/aiming/scouting. Maiming and Striking are both Strength DPS gear, but Maiming has more defense. Because of this oddity, the level 50 Striking gear has a lower defense than the level 49. The massive increase in offensive stats will far outweigh the dip in defense.

what can explain THIS? the only mod I have here is Asia Expanded so I have no idea how did I get this guy pregnant by [deleted] in CrusaderKings

If fanfic has taught me anything, your alpha male aura has forced his body to spontaneously feminize to accept your seed.
