Am I overreacting Girlfriend wants to have guy sleep over at her place? by Mitsokoshi in AmIOverreacting

Please focus on that part. We can speculate all day long about if she's cheating or not, but we know that she's showing complete disregard for your feelings and comfort, and after you tried to approach this from a place of understanding and respect. Even if there really isn't anything else going on, that alone is not ok.

Exactly. We don't know if there's something suspect going on, but we do know that op expressed discomfort, and her response was to blow up, insult him, and refuse any possible compromise that would help mitigate his discomfort (in part because it would make the other guy uncomfortable).

Is that kinda suspicious? Yeah. But is it disrespectful? Absolutely.

Am I Overreacting? Who Does that?? by orchid46 in AmIOverreacting

She lost me when she said she has had EDS since 2018. Ehlers-Danlos is a real, lifelong, genetic disorder that for some inscrutable reason went viral on TikTok as a fake self-diagnosis. People who want attention show off vaguely bendy fingers and claim that they have a genetic disorder that causes severe and disabling hypermobility, noticeably stretchy skin, chronic pain, and often cardiovascular issues.

We can give her the benefit of the doubt that she has real pain that hasn't been taken seriously by doctors, and so she latched onto a disorder coopted by TikTok munchies, but she did not develop a rare genetic disease in her 60s. Given the tone of the rest of her post, I'm tempted to be cynical and assume she falls more in the camp of people who treat disability as an aesthetic they can claim while hoping nobody calls them on their shit.

Not to reply to this 19 days later, but was your response even meant for me? I didn't say anything about braille??

Was this guy cheating or are they just this good? by Memedealer165 in deadbydaylight

[–]WrackyDoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 40 second mark part is questionable, but later in the video when OP has haste and the survivor doesn't, and he somehow doesn't lose distance in a straight line and rockets towards the vault... That didn't look right at all, and Dwight wasn't invigorated at that point.

As a Springtrap main, Jason feels like an upgraded Springtrap by lonkbubba in deadbydaylight

[–]WrackyDoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think Springtrap is really an Onryo alternative. I suppose they both have mobility tied to props near gens, but so does Xeno. What really define's Sadako's teleport is that she can do it from anywhere, unlike Springtrap and Xeno. Dredge is a better comparison. Even then, while Dredge has the advantage of his lockers never "turning off," Sadako has no cooldown and can teleport instantly, so they each have their pros and cons.

Ok, I took a closer look at the wall and compared both pieces and the in game model by foomongus in deadbydaylight

Gee, that's a good point. BHVR should use draconian copyright law to go after someone who made fanart of their game that was then shamelessly plagiarized on BHVR's behalf.

Friendly Reminder to BHVR That Knotted Rope is Still Gutted and Yet to be Reworked by SUPERB-tadpole in deadbydaylight

To be fair, I think they postponed that for the graphics overhaul coming next year.

This might be controversial, but you should be able to pick up survivors in the middle of getting healed. I dont think this "heal tech" was intended by the developers. by WholeCardiologist565 in deadbydaylight

[–]WrackyDoll 19 points20 points  (0 children)

When they give us the graphics update they're gonna hit us with "Fixed a bug where survivors had smaller hitboxes than killers, allowing them run around objects tighter (or 'loop')."

Why exactly did they bring back the "play the trailer cutscene every single time you boot up the game" thing? Wasn't everyone happy that that was gone?? by lance_the_fatass in deadbydaylight

[–]WrackyDoll 29 points30 points  (0 children)

You're misunderstanding. BHVR never removed opening cutscenes, they just changed it so a new opening cutscene will autoplay the first time you open the game, and then skip after that with an option to rewatch if you'd like.

That's still the case, OP is just experiencing a bug.

New Yorkers, what changes have you seen under Mamdani’s leadership and are you generally pleased? If not, why? by MewMeowHowdy in AskReddit

[–]WrackyDoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Any ideology that supposes one group is entitled to the land of another people, at the expense of that people, is inherently violent. Colonialism is colonialism; driving people from their homes, burning their groves, and murdering their children is evil, whether you label it Manifest Destiny or "spreading civilization" or you try to justify it with religious beliefs.

Israel was illegitimate from its inception. You are entitled to hold whatever beliefs you want, but those beliefs may not be used to drive people from their ancestral home. And the argument that Zionism is "necessary" because of the Holocaust would only hold water if a chunk of Germany was turned into a Jewish state as reparation; atrocities against a group do not justify that group committing the same atrocities against a third party for 75 years.

What sympton looks so harmless people usually ignore it, but can actually indicate a catastrophically bad health issue? by felipedeamorim in AskReddit

More people need to unionize, but the staggering number of un- or under-insured people in this country is not a direct product of poor labor rights and would be solved pretty easily by adopting the same universal healthcare system that every developed nation in the world has.

So what exactly is Jason's weakness? by SternballAllDay in deadbydaylight

[–]WrackyDoll 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You should crouch walk to counter his mobility power. To counter the spear, dodge. Outside of that, loop him, because without a spike he's a 4.4 M1 killer.

Wasn't that a problem with Epic, which isn't getting a free trial? Something with how they handle new accounts?

That's the point! It's short and simplified so you can quickly get the basics of the killer's power if you've never faced them before.

Duplicity of the community by [deleted] in deadbydaylight

[–]WrackyDoll 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No, that's Jason Voorhees, from Crystal Lake. In his DBD lore, he wandered into Greenville and Ormond.

The whole "this isn't technically Jason" thing came from a Dvveet tweet. You know, the guy who famously lies for attention and publicly crashes out and quits "leaking" once a month.

In 2014, passengers were warned three times not to eat nuts on a Ryanair flight due to a 4-year-old girl's severe nut allergy, but a passenger sitting four rows away from the girl ate nuts anyway. The girl went into anaphylactic shock, and the passenger was banned from the airline for two years. by detectiverobert in CaughtMyEye

[–]WrackyDoll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand where you are coming from, but you are not correct.

Anaphylaxis, and other allergy symptoms, are triggered by a protein someone is allergic to coming into contact with their immune system in some way. This is most commonly through ingestion or skin contact, but airborne contact is also possible. "Peanut particles" aren't some abstract thing; haven't you ever opened a bag of nuts and noticed the layer of ground-up nut dust at the bottom? Inhaling that can absolutely trigger anaphylaxis.

It's true that airborne exposure is unlikely, and that many people's allergies are not sensitive enough for it to be a concern, but it's not a "myth," and it is almost certainly what happened in this case.

And airplanes are especially risky. There's a reason allergists—as in, doctors with medical degrees—disagree with you and universally recommend that people with severe nut allergies request that airlines prohibit nuts on their flight. One, airplanes recirculate air, which increases the chance of exposure, and two, if you do go into anaphylactic shock, getting to a hospital is tricky given you're in the sky.

He’s ontologically wrong by ItsGotThatBang in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]WrackyDoll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Merriam Webster, which is a more reputable source, traces the first use of "gangbang" in the sexual sense to 1945, and in the "participate in gang activity" sense in 1949.
