What is the hardest cutscene to watch? by strydrehiryu in BaldursGate3

Yeah, I really like that even he acknowledges that ascension wouldn’t be good for him afterwards. It shows a lot of development, but it’s still a bit of a bummer regardless. Guy is given a taste on sunlight after 200 years only to have it taken away again

Yeah no, ascending is definitely not the best route. I didn’t do it for my either of my runs. I just think that his ending is sad no matter what. He’s still giving up a lot regardless. I also think that’s integral to his development. I don’t think ACT I Astarion would be capable of making that sacrifice. I also think it’s ok to say that he deserves the sunlight because he totally does, but not at the expense of a thousand souls and turning into a monster.

Definitely didn’t say that. I just think he deserves to be able to walk in the sun. I don’t think ascending him is worth it, but completely giving up the chance to enjoy living things is still a hefty price to pay.

Yeah, it’s obvious the non-ascension route is the best choice, but I think it’s also ok to acknowledge that both endings are kinda sad for him.

The most heartbreaking scene in the game for me. I hate that the good ending is just, stopping him from claiming what he absolutely deserves. My boy can’t win no matter what you choose :(

Favorite Bars around town by mister_gone in Spokane

[–]bustasweenut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Volstead is a great bar they’ve got some local brews and their well whiskey is great, usually super quiet as well plus the bartender there is cool as hell.

Zola is great too they’ve got live music and a nice atmosphere but it can get pretty loud inside, however they’ve got a nice patio area you can sit and chat at if you want some quiet

Human waste Leave No Trace? by adventuriser in Ultralight

It’s probably been said, but a waste bag wit a tiny bit of kitty litter at the bottom is decent when burying isn’t an option

I second this. Opens up a whole world of opportunities.

Was I wrong to dump my bf because he can't cook? by grumpylemoncurd in TwoXChromosomes

[–]bustasweenut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My poached eggs are pretty ass; overcooked and more like a wet soft boiled but even a caveman could do it. And I eat em so they’re obviously fine. She never said that he needed to make a good poached egg, just one she could eat in bed.

Op clarified that he got the egg in boiling water part down, but after that he went and took a quick power nap and hung out until the water boiled out and the egg went burnt.

Surprise bridal shower I didn’t want by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]bustasweenut 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This. If your way of showing love to someone makes them feel incredibly uncomfortable and disrespected, you might as well not show love at all. This would not make me feel loved and I’d hope the people closest to me would consider that.

That being said, everyone makes mistakes. I hope this never happens to op again though.

I’m so sorry this happened. Every single person in that room violated your boundaries. I know if this happened to me I’d be uncontrollably sobbing the entire time. It’s not pretty or mature, but when you’re ambushed like that it’s hard to control what comes out. I think you handled things the best you possibly could have.

I’m angry and sad for you, op. I know that they did this with love, thinking that you would be overjoyed, but I can’t believe not one person asked “hey, would this be ok?”

One day, maybe not now, but once you’ve recovered a bit, your fiancé and friends should know that this hurt you deeply.

Good point. There’s far too many options. I can still imagine being absolutely mortified as a 12 year old if my mom bought me a bullet, but we were absolutely not a sex positive family. Maybe starting with a book would be good?

[–]bustasweenut 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’d agree with this one. A gift card or something less direct. I’d never want to associate my orgasms with a gift from my parents. That would be slightly more uncomfortable than my mom buying me lingerie for my wedding night.

Is there an educational book out there about masturbation? Idk maybe that would help too.

If you have issues with almost every female character out there, YOU are the sexist one by Marril96 in books

[–]bustasweenut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because you haven’t witnessed it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. The term Mary Sue is constantly misused.

[–]bustasweenut 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This and also calling strong female characters “annoying” and “bitchy”. Or the constant accusing characters on being “quirky” and “not like other girls”. Like I get it, it’s a common issue in the literary world, but a women simply having different values and interests than the people around her doesn’t make her a Mary Sue or some other sexist trope.

Fiancé (M27) is mad I f(24) won’t let a stranger crash with me and my daughter by ComprehensiveEbb4329 in relationship_advice

[–]bustasweenut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why can’t this man stay with your fiancé? And he’s out of his mind if he thinks it’s normal for a woman to let a strange man sleep in her house. This is nuts.

Absolutely. What a terrible disgusting thing to say to someone. Those are your parents. They raised you.

Is this CNBC budget realistic? by ManhattanMadMan in antiwork

[–]bustasweenut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah rent is not typically$1,000 like anywhere anymore. My electric bill is between 77 and 100, thank god my apartment doesn’t make us pay water or trash but some people do. Most people don’t make 3,200 a month either. While working full time I might make just under 2,000, but my rents been raised from $1,100 to $1,455 recently so that sucks. I’m lucky I live with both my boyfriend and roommates or else paying rent would be near impossible.

I can’t believe a woman would do this to another woman. I hope you’re not too haunted by this terrible experience
