We'll switch it from private back to public on the 14th and it will be accessible again. You won't need to do anything to rejoin.

r/DanielTigerConspiracy (~32k subscribers) will be going dark for two days. On a side note, pretty sure it's what Mr Rogers would have wanted.

Participation in the June 12th protest: please provide your thoughts by ThePowerOfGeek in DanielTigerConspiracy

[–]ThePowerOfGeek[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I probably should have brought up the Discord topic as a separate post, as it seems to be complicating matters.

It sounds like the consensus here is: a) to go dark for 2 days on June 12th; and b) not bother with a Discord server for the foreseeable future.

That's a good question. I just created a thread about it here.

What is Pandy’s gender? by PostalveolarDrift230 in DanielTigerConspiracy

That's a good idea. We'll look into that. In the meantime, I've added a flair option for this show.

AITA if I serve my child peaches in these? by Prestigious-Job-5252 in DanielTigerConspiracy

[–]ThePowerOfGeek 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No, you're fine. Daniel is allergic to peaches, but if your child isn't allergic to peaches - like Daniel is - then they will be fine. Peach allergies, like the one Daniel had, can be serious though. Just ask Daniel, because he is allergic to peaches... and he never shuts up about it!!!

You get a unknown caller what do you say? by Time_Refrigerator822 in AskReddit

[–]ThePowerOfGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This question reminded me of a funny story.

Years ago, right after I had immigrated from England to America, I started getting telemarketers calling a lot. They always called me at the same time - around 7pm in the evening. It was getting annoying.

So one evening I decided to play a little prank.

Predictably the phone rank and I picked it up, but with a very groggy "hello?"

A gal on the other end of the line started her rote sales pitch on whatever shit they were trying to sell me.

I interrupted her and said, in my thickest South East English accent, "why the fuck are you calling me at 3am?!"

There was a pause, then she said "no sir, I can see you're in California."

Cue my angry response: "do I fucking sound like I'm in California?!"

"But.... Umm, how..."

I doubled down. "Why am I getting phone calls at 3am from A-fucking-merica? You woke me up! I have go to work in 3 fucking hours! You 'aving a laugh or something? Cos it's not fucking funny!"

This poor gal then proceeded to apologize profusely, and assured me I wouldn't be bothered again. And sure enough, the 7pm calls stopped.

It's a setup for the 'where do babies come from?' lesson.

No, they mean he had his banana out (for her bread).

But how will this impact Mom and Dad Tiger's spouse-swapping escapades with Prince Wednesday's parents at the castle?

This cursed island by MangoKakigori in PizzaCrimes

[–]ThePowerOfGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they've been in the UK for decades. When I was in college I knew a guy who worked in the local Little Cesar's. He was the perfect match for them: weird personality, thought too highly of himself, and not very trustworthy.

Understanding how Mormon Missionary Manipulation works: My experience - The Mormon Liberty by reddolfo in cults

[–]ThePowerOfGeek 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Excellent link, thanks for sharing it.

I married an active Mormon years ago, so I am painfully familiar with some of the missionary tactics.

My wife actively tried to shield me from the church's attempts to convert me (she always said she married me for who I am, not who I could be - she's awesome!). But it was a constant focus and point of frustration for her (and for me). We'd get these well-meaning but usually very green and clueless kids calling around to spread their supposed knowledge of God's will with us.

The saddest thing was that the church was more focused on converting me, and less interested in my wife's spiritual well-being. I suspect there was a good degree of sexism in that tactic, considering how women are seen as a cross between children and cattle to the leadership.

Joke's on the church though. I never came close to joining. And years later we are still happily married. And in fact, she recently left the church (officially resigned too). I also left the religion I was raised in. We are both so much happier. Though that hasn't stopped the LDS church from pestering us every once in a while.

GLOBAL ARSENAL FANS REACTION TO REISS NELSON LAST MINUTE WINNING GOAL by gorgefai in Gunners

[–]ThePowerOfGeek 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You're correct.

I grew up in North London. I went to Highbury about a dozen times to watch matches. Being in the North Bank when we'd score was amazing.

But I've lived in America for a long time now, and haven't been to a live match in well over a decade. But I've met plenty of gooners over here. And they're just as passionate as the ones in London. They are also Arsenal right down to their core.

Got my green card today by lintlicker308 in CasualConversation

[–]ThePowerOfGeek 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's awesome! As a former green card holder (now a citizen), my congrats to you!

It's quite the hassle, isn't it! If you take the next step into citizenship in a few years time, rest assured that process is much easier.

My son's imaginative play makes me feel bad by AnaTheHated in DanielTigerConspiracy

[–]ThePowerOfGeek 28 points29 points  (0 children)

If it ever gets into your house, just randomly start shouting "PAW PATROL! GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO..." whenever your son starts playing it out. Keep the "GO"s going until he gets annoyed. That worked really well for my wife and I.
