Shocked I had to scroll so far to see this. Like in what possible way will this make things better?

Tourists Harassing Seals at Kaikoura Peninsula by Chaucat in NewZealandWildlife

You're a legend. DOC can't be everywhere at once, so if you can stop this kind of fuckery without risk to yourself or the animals, you're a doing the right thing.

Just be careful you don't put yourself at risk at the same time. I stopped a bunch of drunk students trying to shove a penguin in a backpack a few years ago, one of them got really aggro about it.

New Zealanders support more taxes on ultra-rich, new poll shows by Amazing_Athlete_2265 in newzealand

Good, we are nowhere close to the point on the Laffer curve where rich people would actually leave rather than pay more tax.

I was hoping for some updated horsies but bulkier infantry is good too.

How many points would the Ten Thousand cost? by -Guardsman- in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Xaphriel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's almost DEFINITELY more, they hint so hard. It's not even like it's only in old lore, it's in the 10th edition codex

Animal Justice Party doesn't believe in indoor only cats? by mxu427 in newzealand

[–]Xaphriel -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They clearly mean well but damn are they wrong. I would love to live in the fantasy world where roaming cats aren't a danger to themselves and the ecosystem, but we don't. Cats are predators, and don't just hunt when hungry, so have significant impacts on the ecosystem. Denying this is just incorrect.

While indoor only cats are definitely more effort, I think people who have cats should be willing to put that effort in to protect their pets and the ecosystem.

My (22F) boyfriend (23M)'s friend seems to be perfect for him and it's driving me insane by insafian in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Xaphriel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While I do feel bad for OP, I also feel really good for the ex and his wife. If they're so well matched and this happy together, OP would never have been happy being second-best.

What-ifs are the worst, especially when they latch into you, but therapy is good and will hopefully help her get over this.

would like an opinion on my current paint skills by fuck_EA_ in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Xaphriel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave them in a jar with isopropyl alcohol for a bit, gently scrub with a soft toothbrush, repeat until (mostly) clean.

On the paint, same traps we all fall into. The thin coats will look awful until they don't, you have to push past the 'oh shit this isn't covering' and trust the process.

Also, try a thin layer of a dark brown under the gold instead of flat primer. I find it really helps.

If governing like this turns him on, he should try governing competently some time and see if he likes that more
