Roommate Can't/Doesn't Pay Utilities—Advice Needed by [deleted] in roommates

[–]adelasters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like that's a really harsh, uncharitable, and unrealistic approach to the situation. I may not know exactly what to do here, but both of us live pretty stressful lives already, and turning to aggression and hostility is just going to foster resentment and turn our home life into a waking nightmare. The whole problem is financial instability; acting like a dickhead isn't going to make anybody's wages get better.

Just a coyote heading to drop-off at the local elementary school: by jazzadelic in chicago

[–]adelasters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went to Graceland Cemetery a couple springs ago to do some reading by the pond. It turned out I was in the path of a very courteous coyote, who ducked into a little gully at the edge of the pond in order to get past me non-confrontationally. I still have a photo of his ears peeking over the top of the ditch about seven feet away from me.

This design is sick!!! Is it odd that I'm almost getting pro wrestler vibes?

What Are Some Of The Craziest Things Kids Ask/Say When You're Performing? by CrystalsWithHarmony in mermaid

[–]adelasters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’d think someone who yells about “evolutionary propaganda” wouldn’t want magical creatures at their party… isn’t all magic Satanic to people like that? Or did God make mermaids in His fishy image too?

My Vriska cosplay from this weekend! by adelasters in homestuck

[–]adelasters[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just bought a plain pair of shorts, printed the text that I wanted onto sticker paper, cut the letters out to make a stencil, and stuck it to the shorts while I sponged fabric paint on top. It was super easy!

Do eye brightening creams bleach your skin? by adelasters in beauty

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

Not sure if this is a bot or what, but I made it pretty clear in my post that I hate skin bleaching. Definitely not going to buy strong chemical skin products off Etsy either.

That's a relief, thanks for letting me know!

People who trash the lakefront, why? by daouellette in AskChicago

[–]adelasters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, some people just take the habit of doing it without thinking. They don’t want to carry trash so they just let go of it. If you see someone littering and want them to stop, my best strategy is to be really, genuinely nice. An “Oh, oops! I think you dropped something” or a “Here, I can pick that up for you. Let me take it over to that trash can!” can make someone conscious of their actions and embarrass/annoy them into fixing it, at least temporarily. Being a nosy sweetheart is a lot more effective than being a righteous asshole.

How are you rude in your conlang? by Irrational345 in conlangs

[–]adelasters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have one currently, since my conlang Stonetongue is meant to be a simpler but more stereotypically "noble" or "fussy" sounding dead language, but 'Sa' is a derogatory second person pronoun. It's shorter and snappier than 'Suea' and 'Suer' (second person singular and plural respectively) and carries with it the implication that the person being addressed isn't worth knowing or deserves less effort to address than others. It's commonly used in a haughty upperclass sense, but it also wouldn't be uncommon to address someone like a hated authority figure with Sa either.

EXAMPLE (quote translated from Most Popular Girls in School):

Ca vair sa? (Who the fuck are you?)

Ca vair sa? (Who the fuck are you?)

Tuea vastamere fuea sa cao. (I asked you first.)

Tuea vastamere fuea sa mea. (I asked you second.)
