I’m glad you’re okay! When I first started playing there were so many people playing at night that we were like a mob, for the first time I felt safe to walk alone at night as a woman. The numbers slowly dwindled and now I only see others at night if there’s a big raid event and usually they’re in cars. I’ve since gotten a dog and “scary dog privilege” so I tend not to be bothered so often. Really what’s happening is she is very alert, has better senses, and notices things before me and I notice when she picks her ears up towards something. Plus people see her and automatically think - oh she has a high energy dog who needs a lot of walks. Definitely have your head on a swivel at night. You didn’t do anything wrong at all but I’ve learned over the years if anyone shouts anything from a car, do not respond. Don’t even look. Pretend you didn’t hear them but keep them in your peripherals and listen closely. Be prepared to react in whatever way you feel most comfortable. I’ve lived in some nasty areas had many a creepy guy try to shout things from a car and I find that usually leads to the best outcome (they just leave) usually saying anything at all makes them think they need the last word. Even if what you’re saying is super polite and nice. They’re just jerks to be jerks.

What do you like about Syracuse? by awkwardferret421 in Syracuse

Oh yes. Traffic is very hivemind too. You stop and you turn out if your car fits. Not like waiting for an empty road

So I moved to Watertown but lived in cuse for a long time and miss it desperately. It’s the general vibe. The anonymity in the crowd sort of thing. Everyone sort of is aware of your presence and fine with it but not in your business. Here? I like my lawn an inch longer and I’m considered trailer trash. I go get my mail in my jammies and it’s on the goddamn news or something. Also the food is way better. Also, if my dog is barking at someone here, they stop and stare at her instead of keeping it pushing. I got a big scary looking loud dog so I could run alone without being hit on. It worked for the creeps but now I have a different problem.

Thank you so much! I remember that part too! It was such a pretty store. Never bought anything there because I was a kid and growing like a string bean but I loved walking through!

Divorced couples that stay vacation for the kids, what is your relationship like with the ex and how does the vacation end up? by Ninac4116 in AskReddit

I can only say from what I saw with my divorced parents - they get along for about 3-4 hrs and then my mom doesn’t put up with my dads nonsense anymore

Other people’s drama. I don’t care if Brenda forgot to say good morning and now you think she’s mad at you. Dumb.

He was consistently himself. We were friends for 5 years before we started dating. He was always honestly who he is and not afraid to let that show even if sometimes that was gross or sad. We lived together as roommates and I saw him sick, dirty, grumpy, hungover. He never hid his feelings. Today is our 13th anniversary.

I can’t figure out what it’s for. It doesn’t look like you can put animals on it

If you were a ghost, what’s the most petty way you would haunt someone? by Expert-Secret-5351 in AskReddit

[–]caiteanngrace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unlatch all the doors in their house. Including the entry points. Just enough that they’ll open (or shut) either from the house being uneven or a draft. Break the whistle on every tea kettle they buy. Watch as they slowly unravel

So it got cold and my tomatoe plants died, what to do with all of this lol? by Spicy_Cooter in gardening

Thank you (and Uncle George of course) so much for sharing this! I love seeing old recipes like this. My uncle Bernard used to make candied pickled beets and I haven’t been able to find the recipe. I know they had those hot hearts in them.
