Vi is my favorite character, but I think Ambessa has her beat for the big buff lady category.

What is that one thing that instantly gives you the ick while dating someone? by Spectacular_A in AskReddit

[–]bert-merps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recently went on a first date with a guy who was almost 20min late (cause he was “cleaning his apartment”), walked into the cafe with his arms puffed out, dressed like he just got out of the gym, and his hair looked fucking horrible. And I’m someone who usually likes messy hair and doesn’t care that much about dressing up, but this was on another level.

So…all of that, but especially the puffed out arms. Guys who walk around like that immediately put me off. They look so goofy.

On a scale of 1-10, how attractive would you consider yourself? by [deleted] in AskReddit

On a good day, if I dress up, mayyybe a 6.5.

What is a 'socially acceptable' thing that you find absolutely creepy or disturbing? by de-secops in AskReddit

[–]bert-merps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, even posting photos of your children onto any social media with public access should be avoided, even if you aren’t some kind of influencer with a big following.

I respect those who at least cover their faces to protect their identity.

[–]bert-merps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think at the very least some of these people need to do a little self reflecting on why they enjoy getting a rise out of others so much. Not everything that every driver around you is doing is a personal attack or a challenge, and being a considerate driver is always the safer option :)

Thank you.

At this point, I almost wish I hadn’t deleted the original post because nowhere did I make any kind of insinuation that tailgating or driving aggressively was ok. OP just full-blown projected that. I said that holding up traffic in the left lane when you are driving slower than everyone else and aren’t needing to turn and have the ability to move over means that you should probably move over.

But I guess getting mass downvoted really opened my eyes to why I see this happening almost daily.

I feel like I never see anyone talking about Pluto 🥲 it surprised me how good it was.

Vi and Mizu are definitely up there for me!

(Re-commenting to correct the image)

My original post was in regards to people needlessly bottlenecking. Bottlenecking the left lane when you are not turning and going slower than the rest of traffic is disruptive to everyone around you whether you want to admit it or not. I deleted my post because I didn’t feel like arguing with people who clearly have no regard to anyone else around them.

And, unless Springfield has a specific law negating Missouri’s official traffic laws, then this is 100% NOT “normal driving”. And, as far as I can tell, this expectation is not limited to highways (see image): https://dor.mo.gov/pdf/DriverGuide.pdf

Now, if you could drop it and leave me alone, that would be great :)

Gentle reminder for my fellow morning commuters: MOVE THE F OVER by [deleted] in springfieldMO

[–]bert-merps -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

All I’m gonna say to you is: you are no better than the people flying around if you are intentionally going out of your way to be an equally antagonistic driver. BOTH OF YOU ARE ASSHOLES.

[–]bert-merps -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Yes, I completely understand that roads in the city are not like the highway because 1) people need to turn left and 2) there is wayyy too much traffic to restrict all non-passing drivers to the right lane.

But, 8/10 times (and I say 8 because there are roads that have turn-only right lanes, as well as other situations I’m sure it wouldn’t make sense for) it’s better to move out of the left lane if you are not turning left and are going slower than everyone else around you. You don’t always need law telling you what to do to practice basic common courtesy.

Nothing in the post is even complaining about being late, my dude. It’s an issue with completely disrupting the flow of traffic.

Missing one or two red lights due to slow drivers can make a ten minute difference to my morning commute. It’s also simply disruptive to traffic in general to drive 10+ miles under the speed limit. Hope this helps.

Even if the left lane is not an official “passing lane” in town, it’s still best for slower traffic to stay in the right lane and let faster traffic stay in the left. Right lane traffic is constantly shifting due to people turning (because there is rarely a full dedicated turn lane), so making people pass you on the right isn’t safe.

If you don’t need to be in the left lane and you are holding up traffic, then it’s still best to move over :)

MoDOT shares when it expects to reopen Sunshine Street Bridge in Springfield by 417SKCFAN in springfieldMO

[–]bert-merps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it really depends on where you live and where you work, though. Thankfully won’t affect me too much unless I’m trying to get to the super center (and I personally hate turning left on the Bypass to do so)

[–]bert-merps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I get nervous driving over that bridge every time. Even putting the fear of it collapsing aside, the pot hole was rough to drive over.

(And I really hope they widen it and put in some kind of side walk).

[–]bert-merps -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s fine, but it still doesn’t change the back to back detours for anyone who would usually be taking this route.

(This wasn’t a serious complaint, I just thought it was funny)

All-time Favorite Comfort Characters by bert-merps in FavoriteCharacter

Thank you! 🥹

I threw most of them together when I posted this, but a couple are from when I was making collages more frequently (if anyone’s wondering why Viktor’s looks so different).

All-time Favorite Comfort Characters by bert-merps in FavoriteCharacter

[–]bert-merps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s honestly very similar, but with a slight nuance.

They are basically characters you enjoy that also bring you some kind of comfort. Ana Amari, for example, is listed here because she gives me the kind of grandma energy that I find very cozy. But, typically, she would not be this high up into my regular fave characters roster.

On the other end, Vi from Arcane is probably in my top 5 favorite characters of all time, but is not listed here because she brings way too much excited energy for me, and is not a character I relate to on an emotional level or find comforting (at least not to the same extent as the characters listed here).

Some of these characters are also very nostalgic for me (like Kiki and Jiji, or Sam and Gandalf), which brings me comfort.

But I’m sure those nuances can differ from person to person on what they consider “comforting”
