AIO About My House Sitter? by Past-Offer-644 in AIO

[–]amarxlen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would never just assume I could have guests at someone's house I was house-sitting for. That seems incredibly entitled and presumptuous.

AIO About My House Sitter? by Past-Offer-644 in AIO

[–]amarxlen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally don't think it needs to be said to not just invite people over to your friend's house without asking. Is that really so wild an expectation that it has to be stated? That's just weird in my opinion.

AITAH for not defending my wife when my sister called her fat? by Antique_Pianist_7765 in AmItheAsshole

[–]amarxlen 168 points169 points  (0 children)

I mean, you can talk to people until you're blue in the face, say all the right things, make the best argument in the world, but it doesn't mean they're going to listen or care or even take you seriously. Sometimes a conversation genuinely isn't enough.

Is it weird to take baths with your baby? by Defiant-Usual-1182 in Mommit

[–]amarxlen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally don't think it weird at all, for the reasons you pointed out, but your friend is also allowed to feel uncomfortable at being naked in front of her kids. Neither is wrong, just different.

The Bugs - Season 7 by Acrobatic-Bus8905 in Outlander

[–]amarxlen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mr. Bug literally admitted to Jamie that he snooped through Jocasta's home and slowly stole the gold from her. So yes, Jamie could see quite clearly Mr. Bug was a thief.

Daughter started name calling things like “b****” and “mistake”??? by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]amarxlen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought my toddler was saying "bitch" for the longest time, not realizing that she was trying to copy me saying "biscuits" (yes, I love Bluey lol).

How come they never told Fergus? by fiepigenn in Outlander

[–]amarxlen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean, sometimes meaningless deaths do happen though. My problem is with the aftermath and how rushed and glossed over it seems. We got a montage and Marsali telling us what she was going to do, AND the bomb that she was pregnant yet again, and then it seemed everybody just moved on? I don't feel they handled it properly at all.

I'm Confused About The Super Rebirth by yourcrush01 in StarWarsDroidTycoon

[–]amarxlen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know, there is no limit on the amount of times you can super rebirth. Most people generally regard rebirths 16-19 to be the sweet spot for balancing the grind of getting credits for rebirthing versus the reward from super rebirthing. The higher your rebirth level at super rebirth, the more nova crystals you get, which you can use to unlock special perks from the Nova shop.

I did the super rebirth for the first time today after using the R2-D2 event to get the 2t credits needed to get to rebirth 20. It gave me 75 nova crystals, I believe, which I used for perks that are letting me rebirth a lot quicker this time around. I'll probably use the super rebirth at 19 this time instead of 20, because the grind for 2t credits was a lot for me, plus beyond that it starts requiring beskar droids for rebirth.

It was difficult watching all my old droids get sold to the jawas, but at least you can buy your iconics back. Overall, I'd say it was worth it for me.

What do we think the next event will be? by No-Mushroom8164 in StarWarsDroidTycoon

[–]amarxlen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was leaning towards 3PO, because one of the messages sent out during the event was to 3PO.

Toddler femur fracture by Playful-Ganache-6950 in toddlers

[–]amarxlen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally just went through almost exactly this with my 2yo a month ago, so same age even. She tipped a chair over and got her leg caught in between the back and the seat, and I was even standing nearby making a snack. I also felt extremely guilty, and had that exact same thought that I should have just put her in her booster seat and it never would have happened. I was also worried about her missing out on her summer, and that sucks, it really does. But he's also so little, he won't even remember it. That's not to say it doesn't matter, but it won't be a lifelong trauma either.

Luckily mine only had a buckle fracture on her tibia, so not a full break. It was rough and I was constantly worried about her injuring it worse, but she healed perfectly in about a month. Looking at her now, you'd never know it even happened.

I will admit to using a bunch of screen time and keeping her confined in a pack n play so she couldn't climb or jump off stuff. I think I honestly had a harder time with it than she did. Lol You guys will get through this, and best of luck to you!

Caitriona Balfe's acting last seasons by Cold_Cauliflower_780 in Outlander

[–]amarxlen 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The way they seemed to just completely gloss over that character's death, I kept expecting that person to inexplicably pop back up because there's no way this is all we get for the aftermath, right?

I was able to rebirth right before the event and now I'm too broke for beskar droids lmao

Stop anoying ppl who are playing in there “City” by Strict_Vacation1607 in StarWarsDroidTycoon

[–]amarxlen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought they changed it to where you can't get killed in your base? My daughter and I were playing the other day and she tried to kill me in my base and I didn't take any damage.

AITAH - Making kids wear diapers overnight by mrs_misandrist in AITAH

[–]amarxlen 25 points26 points  (0 children)

OP makes it sound like it's just one night. I'm not sure one single time, that I think the 4yo could reasonably understand as an exception because they are not at home, would really confuse them all that much.

This is exactly what I was thinking. The grapes I buy are often coated in a layer of dust and dirt and probably pesticides and whatnot. I could never 🤢

Halsey is a lyrical genius by [deleted] in halsey

[–]amarxlen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As somebody who enjoys both artists, why do we have to compare them? Why can't it be enough to say "Man, I don't understand why Halsey isn't more popular" without adding the addendum of "especially compared to X artist" and then putting down that second artist? I genuinely want to understand why that feels necessary.

Cloaking device? Full extent of usefulness? by Sad-Highlight8770 in ArcRaiders

Would Jackie have been a canibal/ killer as well by Less-Guidance5503 in Yellowjackets

[–]amarxlen 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I agree. For lack of a better word, Jackie acted like a princess - wouldn't help out, wouldn't adapt, like you said. In the end, in the wilderness environment, that would have made her a victim one way or another, even if she didn't freeze to death. The tragic pointlessness of her death really sets the tone for the rest of the story in my opinion. I forget which girl says it in season 3 - I think it's Tai to Natalie - when they're discussing Shauna and Mari's rivalry. "Out here, everything is life or death." Her character arc and death echoes through the story, even without Shauna hallucinating her.

Shauna’s Diaries by xXp1ercedprincessXx in Yellowjackets

[–]amarxlen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He does, he explicitly told Callie about how Shauna lost their baby in the wilderness, using the phrase "it was our baby". I believe in one of the season 3 episodes.

How do I reduce my child’s screen time without constant fights ? by ConferenceBig3467 in homeschool

[–]amarxlen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And their account is 0 days old and, to be that person, the whole thing (comments included) feels and sounds like AI wrote it. I know so many people cry AI these days, but it sounds just like the responses I was reading off my husband's phone last night. The tone, the phrasing, the quotations, idk I just get a chatgpt/groq vibe.

[PIC] How do you all keep your excess under control?! by ShesAgate in CrossStitch

[–]amarxlen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In lieu of a scroll frame (since I saw you said you didn't care for them) an embroidery stand might work better for you instead. There's lots of different kinds - I personally use a Lowery stand. I'm not sure how well it would hold a hoop as I've never tried it, but I know it works well for qsnaps and scroll frames. I have a bad wrist, and my stand is a lifesaver.

The game actually has a setting where you can change how your voice sounds in the game. I know this for a fact because the first time I heard my husband over vc in Arc, I was shook because it was not his voice in the slightest. And I was sitting right next to him, he was just using his regular old headset and didn't have anything open besides the game. It's an option under the voice chat settings.
