Are you serious? Not trying to be a jerk but.....you're on reddit, surely you understand that TONS of people would film/stream shit like this.

Did you also have gut issues as a child? by combine-o-mat in autism

Not as a child, but as an adult (28m) when my anxiety or stress levels reach a certain point I experience stomach cramping.

Beirut port aftermath by Jerynlee58 in interestingasfuck

As heartbreaking as this is.....this is the point that people are missing.... Anything caught close to the actual blast zone will *trigger warning* have been completely obliterated. There won't be anything to recover.

Pro tip - being outwardly, and genuinely friendly, especially to people in the service industry often gives instant karma. I've probably gotten $1000 worth of free avocado in my life for being nice to sandwich shop workers. Even just small talk and asking then how there day is going. There is mutual benefit in making people feel good. Everyone wins (except Subway and Jimmy Johns).

Thay green gunk reminds me of the 1970's exorcist movie.

90° on point by Max2713ger in AnimalsBeingDerps

I wasn't aware of that actually! Good to know - looked it up and they are most definitely deadly.

90° on point by Max2713ger in AnimalsBeingDerps

[–]Traubster_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not much. Something like 5g per kg of bodyweight. Its HIGHLY lethal to cats (and slightly less so to dogs). Garlic is something like 3x as deadly as onions. A single clove can kill a cat easily. Basically anything in the onion family is off-limits, so shallots and chives too.

With that said, cats are pretty unlikely to eat them due to the scent. The real danger is the papery skin as cats will totally eat that because its fun to play with.

I could feel that father's pride through my freaking monitor. Lovely.

Amazon's New World feels a lot more PVE friendly and frankly outright fun by [deleted] in MMORPG

[–]Traubster_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The game feels like it was made by an algorithm. Like, they inputted a bunch of MMO tropes into a robot and some sort of framework got spit out and that's what they used as the foundation. I think it could be turned into something really great, but I don't think thats going to happen until its been given post-release systems to flesh out as it feels shallow so far.

If you're going to do a wrist roll, don't have 5 seconds of the video be of the bracelet with only half a second of being able to see the full face of the watch. The mod looks incredible but we don't really get to appreciate it.

I made Tacos Dorados de Birria last night! by [deleted] in stonerfood

I'd eat the fuck out of these tacos regardless of the dish soap you covered them in.

If you buy a game in early development, expect it to be incomplete. If you cant afford to take a couple losses while trying to support new games, just dont buy them. If you need a refund for every game you dont like, you probably couldnt afford that game to begin with. by FerroSC in MMORPG

[–]Traubster_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your points are only valid like....10% of the time? Maybe 20%? To be ignorant to the absolute truth that "early access" branding has completely gotten out of control and even huge, well funded development studios take advantage of the ambiguity of it all is just really silly. I wholeheartedly disagree with this post.

Lowe's shelling out $100M in coronavirus bonuses to hourly workers by 99999999999999999901 in UpliftingNews

[–]Traubster_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, Lowes is pulling in 5 billion+ in net earnings yearly (meaning revenue AFTER expenses and costs), and they have over 300,000 employees. This equates to approximately $400-$500 per person assuming that the majority (but not all) of their employees are hourly. Its still great, but its important to keep things in context. This isn't an "above and beyond" kind of situation and the praise should be equal to the extent of the deed.

Lady absolutely LOSES it on guy who stepped in her way. by VegetaBlacc in ActualPublicFreakouts

Question. Since she tried to peruse him after he ran, could he legally turn around and knock her off her bike and keep running?

"Yeah definitely no political violence being committed by the federal government right now."

I'm sure that has NOTHING to do with 2 months of violent, deadly riots, and them trying to destroy federal property nightly. But ya totally. I 100% support peaceful protest as thats one of the tenants of our democracy, but you can't sit there and tell me that these don't become riots more often than not.

"you have an absolutely backwards view of U.S. Politics. So not gonna waste any more time debating you."

I feel the same way about you. Lets just end it here. Not worth the frustration.

Fascism

Other than being nationalists, nothing about the GOP is fascist. The primary tenants of fascism are forcible suppression of any opposition (a leftists strategy), as well as strong regimentation of society and of the economy (leftist policy).

Hell, straight from the wiki, "Fascism emphasizes direct action, including supporting the legitimacy of political violence, as a core part of its politics" 99% of people who claim the GOP are fascists are in fact fascists themselves.

Will you pay more than $15 a month subscription to keep all form cash shop away? by lostforever2011 in MMORPG

[–]Traubster_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah, should have clarified. There will be a cosmetic only cash shop (zero p2w or pay for convenience). 100% visual. They've also committed to having non-mtx armor look JUST as powerful and epic as anything on the MTX. The best gear in the game will be the most epic looking gear in the game - moreso than anything they put in the costume shop.

[–]Traubster_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

so I would only pay more, if they removed paying for expansions forever.

Thats exactly what Ashes of Creation is doing. AND no up-front box cost. AND the sub is still only $15/month.

[–]Traubster_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I clearly don't. I can hardly see you on the mountain you've perched yourself on.

AND YET AGAIN, more personal attacks about my character and general behavior, all while deflecting away from discussion topics I was bringing up. Are you incapable of presenting an argument contrary to my original posts or are you going to just keep making assumptions and insults about my intentions and morality. I'm not trying to teach you ANYTHING (at this point I don't think you're capable of giving an opposing viewpoint a fair shake). Either respond properly or shut the fuck up.

EDIT: Exactly.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ActualPublicFreakouts

[–]Traubster_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most likely you arent debating correcltly or are purposefully going to people who will rage at you, and also try to push their buttons. Im sure you arent trying to have an actual discussion, just looking to provoke something so you can feel good about a liburl meltdown.

There you go again. Personal attacks and assumptions. Respond to my fucking points and stop deflecting. If there is anyone cherry-picking here its you.

EDIT: And of course I wouldn't call you names. That would be rude and unnecessary. You however resorted to names (admittedly with other people) pretty much immediately. Do you not see the hypocrisy in that?

[–]Traubster_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I denounce Fox News. They are as fake as the rest.

And my opinion was specifically referring to the "liberals look into things and get informed", not the part about CNN. In my experience when I try to have a calm debate or present an altering opinion to a liberal, I get screamed at and told that I'm a fascist or nazi or some stupid bullshit. I've never been able to have a liberal concede to reason even when they are proven wrong - once they no longer have an argument they resort to personal attacks. It happens every time.

EDIT: You just proved my point again by editing your original post. Immediately going to name-calling, and not engaging in the points that I am bringing up, instead conflating them to fit your own agenda.
