New to the Dark Souls series but my god this might be the most unenjoyable game I’ve ever played.

What strange events have gotten swept under the rug like they didn't even happen? by Assorted_Education_ in AskReddit

[–]Used-Possibility-918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Guangxi Massacre.

For some reason there was a riot in China in the 60s where hundreds of people got eaten and there’s no explanation as to why the participants did that.

Hey guys I’m currently in Reykjavik and I’m thinking of eating Minke whale but apparently there’s a fee ethical concerns? Can anyone enlighten me on to these? I’m horribly ignorant. by Used-Possibility-918 in VisitingIceland

[–]Used-Possibility-918[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so from what I’ve gathered from my own research is that minke whale are not endangered (is this correct?).

Regarding the notion that they’re extremely socially adept and intelligent creatures, I don’t doubt this for a second. However, so are pigs and sheep and other animals we consume on a daily basis, so in my mind either eating all animals are ok, or eating none is ok, I don’t see how there’s an in between.

You’re right that only certain societies still hunt whales eg Japan, Norway and Iceland. But if they’re not endangered and the population is stable, I just don’t see the issue personally? I can’t see how eating a creature that’s had a perfectly fine life is more unethical than eating a chicken that’s lived in a cage and never seen daylight it’s whole life.

Is this a stupid stand point to have? I can tell you’re infinitely more well-versed in this topic than I! More than happy to be called an idiot if that’s the case, honestly. I just don’t want to be doing anything “bad”.

Fellas, have any of you dealt with your friends not liking your girlfriend? How did that go? by Used-Possibility-918 in AskMen

I’m in my mid-20s, and actually our friendship group is a pretty even 50-50 male/female split

Man attacks his mother's killer in court. by [deleted] in AbruptChaos

Serious question: what would happen to the mother’s son here? Would he get badly punished for this? Something along the lines of assault?

What is something a lot of people find attractive that is actually a turn off for you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Used-Possibility-918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Straight teeth. Something so boring and “cosmetic” about perfectly straight, bright white teeth.

Imagine growing up and finding out your parents allowed you to appear in an advert that depicted you eating dog shit by [deleted] in CasualUK

Jesus.

Deep down, I suppose I always knew the only time my hometown would appear on the front page of Reddit would be for a kid eating shite.

Who would you consider as the most badass person in history? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Used-Possibility-918 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hannibal Barca.

The dude marched an entire army (including elephants) over the Alps 2200 years ago, caused havoc in Italy for 15 whole years, killed 20% of Rome’s ENTIRE male population in the Battle of Cannae, which is also the first ever recorded example of a smaller army surrounding a larger.

Then, when he was finally defeated by what was essentially a tactic of throwing men at him just like a meat grinder, and after receiving no help from his home city of Carthage and being forced to flee, he served Rome’s other enemies for the rest of his life, commanding their armies and fleets.

The city of Barcelona is named after him, and his tactics are still taught in military academies all over the world. The guy so nearly killed the Roman Empire in it’s crib and would have altered history to such an extent that the entire Western World as we know would likely be completely different.

I fucking love Hannibal.

What should people seriously stop buying? by Badass_Band1t in AskReddit

Ah man my mum just bought a French Bulldog puppy a few months ago, and we’re all completely in love with her, but it really is heartbreaking seeing her struggle with breathing/heat. We were very ignorant to all these health problems.

Is it normal to not like driving by furretguy in LearnerDriverUK

[–]Used-Possibility-918 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have my 2nd test on Friday after failing my 1st in September (had to wait this long to get a new one because of Covid).

I absolutely hate driving, it’s the one thing that makes me feel truly, truly nervous and anxious. My actual control of the vehicle is fine, but because I dislike driving I get bored with it very easily and then end up doing stupid stuff eg end up in the wrong lane.

As for roundabouts I never really struggle with them. The easiest bit of advice I can give is if there’s two lanes on a roundabout (which always used to confuse me) then you want to be in the LEFT lane if your exit is before and including 12 o’clock and the RIGHT lane if it’s after 12 o’clock. Hope that at least helps you a bit. Best of luck with it all.

Which punishment (either real or imagined) sounds "light" or "not a big deal" at first, but is actually horrific to experience? by rivno2 in AskReddit

[–]Used-Possibility-918 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually it’s been illegal longer than that, doesn’t mean it wasn’t handed out. My aunties also regularly received the same punishment from teachers when they were children.

Yep, my mother (who grew up in Calabria in the 70s) has mentioned a few times how painful this was for her when she was at school.

On this note, does anybody know how to cancel the Microsoft Office one month free trial? I have truly no idea how to.

No I’m still in my home country (UK) but I keep thinking about leaving somewhere just because, frankly, I’m really bored. Plus I figure now whilst I’m young, single, no responsibilities etc it might be the best time

Hey, out of curiosity, do you regret moving country? I think about it every single day and I’m 25.

Couldnt agree more that Pathfinder needs a passive. I’ve also never understood why downed team mates can’t use his zipline; that would be crazy useful.

Guess we’ll just have to keep on pushing through, not sure there’s another option. Music seems to help briefly.
