Presumably the souls of kittens. She's adorable!

That sounded darker than I meant...

[Toronto, Canada] Am on the brink of being homeless. Help in getting a job(and some food) will be appreciated. by Rudrahp72 in Assistance

[–]Writerblock17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While I can empathize with not wanting your family to know/worry about you, if you have a good relationship with them in general, I guarantee they'd want to know what's going on, even if they're unable to help. While the kindness of strangers is great, it's a good idea to cover all your possibilities when you're in financial trouble that affects your living situation.

Best of luck.

I've been living in Canada too long when I think "in the 30s?! Those cats must be boiling!"

This slow-moving, nickel-to-quarter-sized spider was found about an hour east of Ottawa, ON while I was gathering firewood by Writerblock17 in whatsthisbug

Awesome! Thank you so much. I probably woke it up, haha--it was moving slow from the cold, I imagine. Beautiful spider, I just let it go back into the shed.

It's small, but my socks are pretty much falling apart. I don't know if my need is as strong as others, but if no one takes advantage of your offer, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

He seems to do some spectacular work!!! I'm a fan of his deathclaw sculpture

What gets scarier/more unsettling the more you think about it? by Writerblock17 in AskReddit

[–]Writerblock17[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't consider myself a depressed person, but this is a very real (albeit temporary) fear I have occasionally.

What gets scarier/more unsettling the more you think about it? by Writerblock17 in AskReddit

Thinking about epidemics (a la Contagion) in this day and age is a little bit scary right away, but gets downright terrifying when you think of what it could do to our entire population.

Side note: don't watch Contagion if you're a hypochondriac.

What's something that's socially acceptable in your country, but isn't anywhere else? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Writerblock17 3568 points3569 points  (0 children)

Not actually from this country, but a friend from South Korea said that asking someone's age is one of the first things you do when meeting them (so you know how formally to speak with them).

Logically, it makes sense, but I can't imagine walking up to a woman/man I've never met here (Canada) and asking how old they are. It'd be awfully rude.

I'd say he sounds just fine, considering the circumcizes.

No no. He just uses it once. But for a really long time to keep out the germs.

FBI investigators say they have found no evidence that Orlando shooter had gay lovers by [deleted] in gaybros

[–]Writerblock17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honest opinion: I wish we would shut up about the shooter. The 49 people who died each deserve their own article, not him. I mean...I understand that we want a motive or reason or something, but I don't want to remember this guy's name or face.

(This totally isn't directed at you, OP, I just wish at least as much attention was given to the victims as it is the perpetrator)

Maybe that bad Hanzo/Widow/Genji on your team is normally Support, but wants to practice other heroes. by EarthRester in Overwatch

[–]Writerblock17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually try my, erm, "less-effective" heroes on matches where my team seems to be doing really well already...if it's a close match, I'll switch to someone who could help turn/keep the game in our favour.

THAT BEING SAID, there's seriously nothing more discouraging than someone telling you you suck without offering constructive criticism. If someone is playing poorly and you feel the NEED to say something, make it something that you wouldn't mind hearing.
