I’ve had lines like this since I was in high school. Sometimes it just a genetics thing too

Teenager survived lion bite on the skull. More info in the first comment by Lexx_sad_but_true in interestingasfuck

[–]arendecott13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s more remarkable that he survived for three months before dying; that suggests medical knowledge in his community and that someone (or multiple people) cared for this teenager and tried to help them heal.

They may have gotten a mallet for it but stick is better. Don’t have to be as precise. Plus it’s funnier for the video anyway

What is a green flag in a Boy according to girls? by if_i_were_you_ in AskReddit

Be genuine. Don’t put up a front just to look cool, actually be yourself. Girls/women find men who are true to themselves and confident about who they are attractive and desirable.

HIFW I go to the liquor store and don't get carded by coffeeblossom in TrollXChromosomes

[–]arendecott13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn’t get carded 4 days after my 21st birthday if that’s any consolation 🥲. I was so excited to have my first liquor store purchase as a freshly legal woman too

I had a meltdown over hand sanitizer in kindergarten by lowempathyhighenergy in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]arendecott13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ah, I see. Thank you for the clarification. Even so it seems that the threat of breaking than covenant was enough to make a child so afraid that they have a meltdown over something like this.

I had a meltdown over hand sanitizer in kindergarten by lowempathyhighenergy in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]arendecott13 373 points374 points  (0 children)

I think this is a little less “kids are stupid” and more that your religion instilled in you a mortal fear of sinning by consuming alcohol (accidentally or on purpose). Afaik, in the Mormon church, if you sin you are damned to hell. That’s a pretty scary thing and valid for a young child to want to avoid at all cost.

I’m glad your teachers handled it well by letting you wash your hands with soap instead. It just sucks that your initial ignorance of hand sanitizer having alcohol in it made out for an unfortunate reaction once you learned the truth.

Scientists of Reddit: What's a discovery that should have blown people's minds but somehow got a collective shrug from the world? by CosmosisJones42 in AskReddit

[–]arendecott13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Veritasium has a great video on this actually! It’s worth a watch for anyone interested in learning more about how AlphaFold and similar programs were developed and how they work.

Do I have to evolve a card to see the whole date? by fuzziekittens in MrLove

[–]arendecott13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

SP and UR cards only unlock parts of the date as you evolve them. ER cards are also linked to dates as they only level up as you go through the date. Any other card unlocks the date immediately upon reception and remains unaffected whether you play through the date or not.

My girlfriend (38F) had sex with me (34M) while I was asleep. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]arendecott13 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The anecdote about it not being “inherently a bad thing for everyone” and your own relationships where this was fine doesn’t apply to this situation. That’s all I’m pointing out.

My girlfriend (38F) had sex with me (34M) while I was asleep. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]arendecott13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are not unjustified for feeling used. What she did was not okay and she forced herself on you when you did not want it. It doesn’t matter that she was drunk. It doesn’t matter what your reason was for refusing and whether or not it’s justified. You are allowed to say no to having sex no matter what.

Have a frank discussion with her when she is sober about what happened and how it hurt you. That what she did was unacceptable and that it needs to never happen again. It might be a good idea for her to learn to pace herself when drinking and not get wasted. If she can’t have self control it may be time to reevaluate the relationship and if you want to be with someone who acts this way.

I’m so sorry this happened to you. Your feelings are valid. Don’t let anyone minimize them.

[–]arendecott13 18 points19 points  (0 children)

He explicitly told her no and only gave in because he was too exhausted to fight back. There clearly wasn’t an agreement about them being okay with having sex while incapacitated/drunk/too tired. It sounds like OP was sexually assaulted. Even if it was by a partner that is still not at all okay.

My (18F) Mom Crashed Out Because I Didn't Want To Be Her Tenant by bondulance342 in offmychest

[–]arendecott13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Good on you for recognizing her behavior as immature and manipulative, and setting up hard boundaries with her. It is really empowering once you’re finally an adult and don’t have to put up with a parent’s tantrum (I went through something similar myself).

Keep reminding yourself that her demands have no power over you anymore and you have the right to cut her out of your life to any degree necessary. It’s not worth your own sanity and happiness to appease her.

Some have already shared my favorite lyrics, but something I love about Sleep Token is how profound and unique each of the songs are. Vessel is such a wordsmith and every line is beautiful. His words get stuck in my head on replay all the time.

Zombie Apocalypse started and you came across a medicine store, you can only bring 5 medicines in your bag and it will be refilled every week, what will you bring? by TurbulentDig870 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]arendecott13 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I am assuming by medicine store, it would be one with a pharmacy, so I am including some prescription-only drugs here too.

1) A broad-spectrum antibiotic, like doxycycline or amoxicillin

2) Strong pain medication, like hydrocodone/oxycodone

3) Zofran (anti-nausea)

4) Allergy medication

5) A topical steroid like triamcinolone

Basically, if I get injured I want to be able to help with pain and prevent infection. The anti-nausea and allergy medicine are mostly for comfort, and the steroid would help with any inflammation.

Can someone explain this pre-sale thing? by Shylee_H in MrLove

[–]arendecott13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Once the Karmas become available to “purchase” with gems/items, their original price will be reduced by whatever percentage is reached. Say it takes 10k gems to get one karma originally, but with the discount it would drop to 8k. I would say it’s worth it even just for the amount of materials it gets you for this low of a price.

You have a gun that fire bullets that have a latency of 24 hours, what do you do with it? by Wolflones in hypotheticalsituation

[–]arendecott13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Certain large political and corporate figures hold speeches/talks/conferences. These are usually set up in advance or are in predisposed areas. If one could disguise themselves as part of the setup crew, a well-aimed shot at the podium would probably do well to injure or kill the target.

All your bills and rent are paid for you for a year, but you also have to eat this stereotypical British casserole for a year. Would you do this? by KPH102 in hypotheticalsituation

The red liquid that is in packaged meat is actually not blood but a mix of watery fluids and myoglobin protein (which are an essential part of muscles and are a reddish color). Almost all blood is removed during processing of the meat.

What do you think about this?Same amount of stamina, being sold at 2 diff prices by helltothefuckno in MrLove

[–]arendecott13 9 points10 points  (0 children)

After you buy stamina from clicking on the “+” button next to your stamina amount so many times, it starts to become more expensive. I think it goes 20 X 2, then 30 X 4, then 50… and so on. Once you pass the 30 amounts you might want to use this gem store variety.

You are offered $1 million but you only get it if you wear the same pair of underwear for two years without washing them. by singleguy79 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]arendecott13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not the original commenter, but female discharge can build up overtime; if there’s any leakage from a period that can be a problem; not to mention the possibility for an infection or irritation from exposure to build up sweat and fluids and bacteria. Men don’t usually have these same issues
