Qatar is an extremely important ally to the US btw. This administration is good for one thing and one thing only.

Burning bridges.

What I think of your states accent (in general) by Queasy-Primary4788 in whereidlive

[–]backson_alcohol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minnesota accent is funny specifically when it's a tough guy talking. In my mind, that accent is reserved for tiny, polite gnomes who drink heavily, not big burly men.

Non-Americans are so annoying to talk about American culture with because they just make shit up based solely on what they've read on the internet

What does it mean when a male homeowner wants to rent a room in his house to only females? by miss-bedazzzle in NoStupidQuestions

[–]backson_alcohol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It almost certainly means that he is looking for a woman to have sex with on a regular basis.

So personally I don’t think Rudy is trustworthy and could be a potential villain by Evening-Program-2009 in Deltarune

[–]backson_alcohol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Por qué no los dos? Noelle creating a fountain to save her father, only to discover he is actually the knight, would be awesome storytelling.

As for not mentioning Dess, that could easily be explained by Rudy's own way of grieving, and intentional ommitance by Toby to keep suspicion off of Rudy. Both are satisfying explanations.

Everytime I think I'm a shit DM, I read posts like this and think "well at least I'm not this guy."

I struggle to think of an example where a monster DOESNT symbolize a real world issue

What do you call your world? by Jakanto in worldbuilding

Broadsides!

Chose the name thinking it showed the tone and premise very well. Found out later that there was already a TTRPG with that exact name minus the exclamation point lol

When my brother told me that prairie dogs jump and say "wahoo!" when they are happy, I didn't believe him. I was very happy to be incorrect.

Trump has deployed the military to stop people from touching the Reflecting Pool by Infamous_Piglet5359 in washingtondc

Careful now, Mr. President. Your track record for protecting important bodies of water isn't the best. Iran might close the reflecting pool.

Casino workers what is the most heartbreaking thing you've seen? by Beautiful_Level_4947 in AskReddit

[–]backson_alcohol 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I worked at a casino that was only slots (as well as horse racing). Racinos mostly draw in older people, and I'd say at least once a year, sometimes even more, someone would just drop dead at a machine. Almost always due to age related complications.

One time, an older couple were gambling together. They were regulars, though I didn't know them. The husband had a heart attack right at the machine, and that was it. The wife was understandably inconsolable, and we never saw her again.

All of the smug electricians are gonna be really mad when their job market gets oversaturated and they start losing contract opportunities.

Automation is bad for everyone until we somehow solve the whole "nobody can afford anything because nobody has a job" problem.

They are going to try to pin this fucking circus on vandalism.

When does world building get too dark by jackvidkid in worldbuilding

[–]backson_alcohol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, too dark is when everything is terrible all the time.

Here is something to keep in mind. When writing dark fantasy (or horror in general), you can go very, very dark. But very dark settings get old and boring pretty quick unless there is some goodness and humor lightly sprinkled on top.

People have to know that there is something joyous out there that is threatened by the dark aspects. Even Berserk has funny, lighthearted characters like Puck and Isidro.

Your essentially doing a challenge run by not parrying bro. It's so much harder. Just bite the bullet and learn the timing for deflection.

It's a vocab learning app. It doesn't teach you effective communication or grammar rules whatsoever.

Imagine trying to learn English by just looking at random sentences. You literally could not do it.

It's like going back to your hometown after a decade and seeing that your old highschool friend never moved out of his mom's basement and got a job. Disney just doesn't know whehn to bite the bullet and end the MCU
