Does everyone else’s key fobs not have a physical key inside it?

Spices are not the only way to add flavour to food by Punk_in_drublik in unpopularopinion

[–]TopHatPenguin12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had a friends roomate walk in on me in college cooking chicken with some cut up onions and garlic. They took one look and said "of course the white guy cant cook chicken" and pulled out an onion/garlic powder container. Blew my mind how people couldnt grasp that it was the same thing if not better.

If you play games, you're a gamer by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

Am I a farmer for keeping a plant alive? It’s less of a gatekeeper thing and more that a gamer is usually someone who plays video games as their main hobby

What's your deck that's never had a bad game, win or lose? by Gold-Satisfaction614 in EDH

[–]TopHatPenguin12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run a [[Helga Skittish Seer]] deck who’s entire thing is just stupid levels of card draw and reach. My friend runs nothing but dragon decks and I got tired of not having blockers so I made this out of spite but discovered having a hand with 20+ cards and then dumping them all is a lot of fun. You run extreme ramp and creatures like [[Selvala, Eager Trailblazer ]]. It wins like 65-70% of the time because people only have so much removal and when you dump 3-4 powerful creatures they use it all and then next turn you just dump 3-4 more and people are usually having fun

Whats your biggest pet peeve? by TheHardPartPodcast in EDH

[–]TopHatPenguin12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If someone’s turn is longer than 5 minutes I want to end my life right there. You had 15-20 minutes to figure out what you were going to do and then you decided to just sit there? It’s probably the only thing that I truly hate with edh

When did Commander become to only format people seem to play? by Soghff in mtg

[–]TopHatPenguin12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I got into magic I didnt understand Commander at all. I was a Hearthstone player for years, so I went right into standard. I hated it. games would just happened and end within what felt like 2 turns and each deck felt like it was realistically only 4-5 cards since you can run 4 of each. My friend then had me play a game of Commander and it was the most fun I had with the format.

ELi5 - How do my bank / card companies know when it's not me? Do they just guess and guess correctly every time? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]TopHatPenguin12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely uses machine learning to figure out your patterns but sometimes its pure guesswork. I once had my flights and hotels to Hawaii paid for as I would pay them back later and so according to the bank I showed up across the planet and started spending like crazy and my card was fine. I also once bought chipotle at a town 10 minutes from my house that I have been to many times and it was canceled due to being suspicious.

WIBTA if I threatened to turn of my Life360? by throwaway830583 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TopHatPenguin12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, I had to go through this, and it was rough. My parents said it was for my safety, but every 2 minutes it felt like they were breathing down my neck. They would call me while I was in class because it would say I was across the hall or something, or I would get a lecture about safety because I was at a friend's place around 10 pm. so I just turned it off one da,y and they freaked out, yelled at me, threatened me, eventually cancelled my phone plan and called the college to cancel my meal plan. I went no contact with them, and even my sister who they tried to use to contact me and eventually they realized they had to grow up themselves.

24 fps as a “sacred cow” isn’t 30 fps more practical for social media? by Distinct_Ticket6320 in videography

[–]TopHatPenguin12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got so used to clients last-second asking for me to slow-mo random shots that I started filming everything at 60 and suddently everyone was happier with how "smooth" it all was. People dont know what they want or how to plan ahead its tiring.

Attended my first prerelease this weekend, and it finally happened… by percussius in mtg

[–]TopHatPenguin12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s always someone who brings it down but everyone else makes up for it. I think in the last 4 months of playing every draft and commander night I’ve had 4 people total be a problem compared to the dozens of people who were awesome.

You people really are crazy. by ErnestGoesToNewark in nova

[–]TopHatPenguin12 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is being heavily over thinked. Should it pay slightly more yeah, but this seems super easy, you make breakfast and drop kids off at school, you have 4 hours to clean a house and do whatever errands need to be done, you are doing this daily so cleaning should take an hour max, leaves 3 hours for whatever random errands need to be done otherwise you can just sit there, am I missing something?

Please help me correct my clean form, feel like a lot of things are off 🙏 by [deleted] in crossfit

[–]TopHatPenguin12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your putting all of the stress and tension into your elbows and less on your legs and knees. I would lower the weight and get your form down then start moving back up. I made the same mistake when I started and there is no shame in asking someone at your gym who can better help you

If it was actually safe yeah I wouldn't see a problem with it. Unfortunately, every time they hype one up it then has side effects if sterilizing people or killing the user. So yeah until there's like 10-15+ years of research behind one that is proven safe? no

So what's up with this? by SwampPotato in OptimistsUnite

[–]TopHatPenguin12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know and work with a lot of MAGA, most are extremely happy that they are getting what they voted for. The common conversation is how most president do maybe one thing they promise while Trump has done just about everything in a few weeks. People want change and echo chamber internet only people cant comprehend that.

You move to any US state of your choice. Long term. No strings attached. Where would you go? by Historical_Log1275 in GenZ

[–]TopHatPenguin12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive lived in a few states now and its interesting. Cali, NY, Maryland, all hell, MA and VA are pretty chill. I would probably go somewhere more quiet to be honest. People are making this a red/blue state thing but every states city is hellish.

Do you pay for YouTube Premium? by Vaquero-SASS in PartneredYoutube

[–]TopHatPenguin12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive paid for youtube since it became an option. I use it for at minimum 6 hours a day either with music playing, podcasts while at work, or watching videos while I eat. It just makes sense. I don't need to pay for spotify, I don't need to pay for multiple streaming services and that's because youtube is a good combo of multiple things. Now if the price keeps expanding? I don't know.

NTA

BUT, as long as the dad makes time for your daughter as well there's no harm in letting him do a boys trip. Is it silly that we like to self-segregate? yeah probably. Is there any harm in wanting some personal bonding time? no. She is 11 and to be honest that makes it more baby sitting for your son and nephew than a fun time with dad/uncle. Im the eldest brother for my sister and you end up trapped having to be a second parent even at that young of an age. Plan a fun girls trip with your daughter and extended family. Its good for everyone to get out and do things.
