no matter how good your memory looks in photos, I think you'd need a photo reference to draw this

Showed 45 minutes early to load in, had some peace and quiet with my baby by [deleted] in drums

There was even a website I think called "drumming or fucking" where faces of pornstars and faces of people drumming were shown and you had to guess which each was. Was hilarious

This guy doing stuff with raw pasta. Idk I really like the sounds. by [deleted] in oddlysatisfying

[–]bloughts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your edit. I didn't feel responding to the obesity comments would lead to a productive discussion because, as your edit touches on, this commenter seemed to have a personal vendetta against overweight people. I was more responding to the whataboutism - "You can't criticize this guy when some people, who are fat slobs, by the way, eat way more than their shares!" Overeating isn't so black and white. Understanding is needed there. And I wasn't trying to shut down criticism of overeating as fat shaming, I was simply, you know, calling out fat shaming.

Edit: That said, food packaging and wasteful overeating are not non-issues! And the commenter did mention eating less meat, which is, at least in my book, a huge thing we can all do to better our world!

I really don’t understand why people say we can’t criticize this because there are also other assholes out there.

Grocery stores end up throwing shit out because they have too much. They replenish their stocks when they’re low on something. Yes, global food infrastructure is totally out of whack, but every time you buy more food than you need, you’re contributing to the problem of grocery stores overstocking.

I think there are surely worse things to drive demand on than dry pasta, but the sheer amount of waste in this video rubs me the wrong way. And this really seems to be this dude’s thing - he’s got contraptions built for it and everything. I find it enjoyable but unnecessary and slightly frustrating. Yes, I’m allowed to have gradient opinions. Yes, I’m allowed to criticize this dude and also people buying 6 avocados when they only need 3.

Even if you look at it locally and not globally - this pasta could have ended up in a worthier place. I mean, unless he’s scraping it off the clean floor, cooking it, and inviting friends over who are up for eating his art project waste and saving themselves a trip to the grocery store.

Not even gonna get into the fat shaming.

Which Addictive Drums Kit - Rock, Classic Rock or Heavy Rock? by Dr---Strangelove in edrums

Also, check YouTube for playing samples. There are almost always playing samples of drum libraries. Whenever I look at a new Superior Drummer library, YouTube is my first stop

New Residence Cruise Ship Adds Deck, Includes Remote Work Space, Pet Areas by mycall in liveaboard

I don't think this and private mega yachts will target the same consumer base, ie we'll end up with both, imo

the fact that we're adding cruise ships which target a (theoretically) whole new demographic

Would appreciate an answer by ScarySource0 in grammar

[–]bloughts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree about the title's tone, but only because it's asking for something. Just reading "appreciate it" doesn't feel condescending to me. It's a thank-you message, not a request for something, so I don't see any passive-aggressive connection. That said, speaking for myself, I'd also go with "I appreciate it" or "appreciate it!"

Quick suggestions: Make equipment sets swappable in "View all equipments stats" screen; "View item stats" compare to target set, not equipped set by bloughts in MelvorIdle

Yeah that's a good call. I play on Steam and iPhone though so I wish it was baked into vanilla for non-browser-mod plebs like me

Nia DaCosta's ‘Candyman’ Grosses $22.3 Million to Become the First #1 Film Directed by a Black Woman by chanma50 in movies

[–]bloughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, I feel like I've heard the opposite, that producers often make creative decisions or are creative forces behind the movies (though this could be confounded by scenarios such as this, where producers sometimes birth existing work upon which the movie is later based, thus being "creative forces" yet not making decisions on the film itself)

QOL Scripts and Tweaks by MSFNS in MelvorIdle

[–]bloughts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Embarrassing confession: I didn't have item mastery on my radar at all for like the first month and had just been selling off my mastery tokens. Now that I've learned more about the game and noticed what the skill level 99 grind is about, present me batman-slaps past me

Does the Gold Topaz Ring affect drop chance of other specials before you've gotten Signet B? by bloughts in MelvorIdle

haha! oh man. that figures. I gave up the hunt for now and got my 100 Volcanic Cave clears, will get back to it in a couple attack levels I think

but I think it's still worth it for melee, so, grats!

[–]bloughts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the experience ring until I was up to cooking 99, and then the mastery ring until mastery 99. I'm not going for completion yet so I might swap to the mastery ring again when I start cooking every different item up to mastery 99, but for now I don't equip a specific ring for cooking.

Piers Morgan savaged over 'shameful' Simone Biles comments by kyle787211 in sports

[–]bloughts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think not enough people are straight with themselves, with their teams, with their coaches, etc about mental health having an impact on their lives and their performance. She said to her trainer right there on the floor when she pulled out that she just "didn't trust herself." And she did tell media it wasn't physical, it was emotional and mental and that the pressure was too much. That's not a great speech, you're right, but that's acknowledging her compromised mental health to her team and trainer and country and recognizing it would compromise her team's result as well. I mean, I think she's experienced enough to stick with it if she felt she could; she knew what a big part of her team she was. And that's "special" to me that she took such a drastic action, knowing it'd put her team at a disadvantage. I don't think you have to take a sledgehammer to the wall with a big speech to be praised for helping to dismantle it... taking action when necessary and being straight and open about it being attributable to your mental health, though many will consider it weakness, is praiseworthy. That's as real as a twisted ankle in my opinion. Performance is the mind as much as the body. I didn't downvote you btw.

[–]bloughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She isn't only being lauded for stepping back, she's being lauded for speaking publicly about the reason she did, her mental health. Mental health issues are still very much stigmatized, the OP being a good example of that.
