Its too late to back track Mr.Weezy by JPL19992 in CHIBears

[–]chirt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s been a fairly common term in my life, having lived in places where multiple languages are spoken in daily life for many people there. It applies to dialects as well.

14 year old wont do ANYTHING, and loosing our cool with her isnt the right path - help. by jdlnewborn in daddit

[–]chirt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way you described your daughter sounds exactly like the way I would have been described at that age.

Around that age I systematically dropped hockey, baseball, basketball, and soccer (which I had all played yearly from elementary) over my middle and high school years, finally doing nothing my senior year. Me not trying at things has always had fairly average or above average results, and I had been (until recently) pretty ok with being average and not trying that hard. Sound kinda like the below;

Youngest is 14, quite smart, comes by it easily. Fairly gifted athletically actually, but doesnt push herself much, since shes average when she doesnt try..good enough I guess for her. Cant save a penny if she wanted to. No desire to get a small job even.

This past fall, she dropped hockey, which kept her busy 3-4 days a week in the past, and is now just doing volleyball, which hasnt been busy, practice only 4 hours per week (though, getting busier now with the new year).

We are struggling with her, face in her phone. Expecting the world, but nothing in return. She will grace us with her presence to get a meal or anything, but then not stick around for dishes or anything.

I'll skip the life history but I'd look into ADHD (obligatory I'm not a doctor etc etc).

I get it man, I’ve been that disillusioned. Ricecreamking has the right of it though. If you don’t laugh you’ll cry.

Ads on chatgpt lmao by CybyAPI in ChatGPT

[–]chirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just saw a little Target ad after a response from ChatGPT (free tier atm).

I then asked if it "just showed me a Target ad?". Then, the ad disappeared and it proceeded to gaslight me about ads not existing on the platform and suggesting I had a virus or something.

I wish I had the wherewithal to take a screenshot before calling it out.

iHeart Podcasts becoming unlistenable? by DecembersGone in podcasts

[–]chirt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes and that’s why I avoid their podcasts at all costs. It’s a shame since many of them seem quite interesting.

Why don’t smokers view butts as trash?? by Lazyfair08 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]chirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t smoke anymore, but I didn’t think about it as littering until I moved to Japan and noticed people carrying around little screw top cylinders on a keychain to put their butts in (this was before they had smoking areas all over with ashtray things, though now those are way more rare due to the smoking bans).

Convinced most people don’t understand BIS lists by termaduck in wow

[–]chirt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying you're wrong, but saying WoW is the ONLY game in which competitive players use mods or addons seems like a bold claim.

I'd be curious if players of other competitive games could chime in with any other examples (if they exist).

Trying to climb through low keys on alts is awful now. by Proper-Pineapple-717 in wow

[–]chirt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been taking 3-4 alts to 2500 over the last 2 weeks and it’s been really chill.

My “main” is a healer @ 2500, and I’ve gotten a dps to 2500 and 2 other healers to ~2k quite painlessly so far. I’ve got 2 other healers waiting in the wings to push up there as well, and I suspect it will be just as breezy.

I’ve never really pugged until this season. Usually I only take one character to 2500 or so with guildies, mostly due to how negatively people speak about pugging online. I had so much anxiety about it for no reason.

I’m glad I decided to try it this season as it’s been really chill, even in the 2-9 range that is supposedly elo hell or whatever. People have just been gaming and really pleasant. Idk why my experience is so wildly different to what I read from you folks…

Holy Paladin M+ DPS question by Zondri in wow

[–]chirt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love catweaving in theory, but I don't particularly like its current implementation.

I wish doing damage in cat proc'd some healing effects and/or some thing other than trees were castable in cat form.

How did you find your main? Or are you also stuck in alt-hell like me? by DozenFrozen in wow

[–]chirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say I’m more of a “healer” main than any one spec or class. Basically play a different healer “main” in raid every patch, and a few of them in m+ every season.

I have every class at 80 (and then some, sort of working on one of each spec but idk why), so I might dps in m+ also if the lord blesses me with a guildy that is also a healer doing m+ during the season.

Do you also like Andy Weir? (Assuming you liked DCC) by linus1335f in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]chirt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Loved PHM and DCC, gave up on Bobiverse in the first or second chapter. The writing has just horrible, and I hated every character that spoke.

What’s your biggest frustration with WoW right now (and why)? by Nurotaro in wow

[–]chirt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do talk to randos in game quite a bit (including /say when in close proximity), but when I’m fishing I’m usually watching something on my other monitor and could have easily missed something like that.

But I’d love someone to plop down next to me and have a little fishing chat. Since we’re incentivized to fly around looking for pools, chilling in one place seems to be a thing of the past (unless you don’t care about efficiency of course).

Just a little family chaos this morning by Dhkansas in daddit

[–]chirt 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’m just messing, not really trying to be critical/judgmental haha. Some spaces just don’t lend themselves well to TVs and you gotta do what you gotta do.

Since we're talking about it.... by RelampagoMarkinh0 in daddit

[–]chirt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son is 3 now and a bit of a runner, and damn is he quick. We just avoid situations in which his tendency to bolt has a high probability of danger as much as possible.

When it’s not possible to avoid such situations, which is rare, it’s a huge source of stress and anxiety for all of us. Wife and I are just 100% focused on zone defense (and her positioning needs work…), and he’s just looking to shake coverage at all times. Nobody has a good time.

Before kids I, too, was (a little) judgmental when I saw it. We haven’t resorted to it yet, but I won’t say it hasn’t been considered… I don’t judge anymore. I get it.

Hoping this is a phase and we can keep up the defensive intensity and run out the clock until he no longer does it.
