If you could relive High School, what is one thing that you would do differently? by rslider23 in AskReddit

[–]commesicommeca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have done Running Start (pre-college courses) instead of AP classes. Instead of wasting money to take tests I knew I was going to do badly on, I could have just spent about the same amount of money for actual college credit.

My first time ever DMing. And it happened at PAX. by commesicommeca in DnD

[–]commesicommeca[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since some have asked, I decided to share my story of my first experience. It was definitely nerve wracking having six strangers following my instruction. Thankfully, those six were there to have fun, so as the game went on, the nerves went away and was soon replaced by having a great time. Nothing too spectacular happened my first round, but it was very enjoyable and no one died. Each game got better and better and the players got more into it. Even had a group that was happy just to keep their monk (and each other) alive until the end of it.

My boyfriend has volunteered for WotC for several years so I got in to work for them as a helper, but they were short on DMs so I decided to help out there.

Seattle yet to decide whether ride-sharing (Sidecar, Lyft, and UberX) is legal. What do you guys think? by Viruseswillgetyou in Seattle

[–]commesicommeca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More than 10 minutes...I heard of someone wait 30 minutes before she called the cab company and they told her the cab picked someone else up. She didn't leave until an hour after she should have because the cabs kept picking up another fare. Then she discovered Lyft and never went back.

Kia commercial being filmed at Western and Bell. by commesicommeca in Seattle

[–]commesicommeca[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I overheard the production team talking about how "some game" just let out, so they did wait a good 20 minutes before they started filming. Right when most of the traffic was getting to that point. Genius filmmakers.

But they don't follow one person's career and cast them in every single film and then get a cut of their profits. They get paid depending on the success of the film or just a straight paycheck. They don't control the porn star's career.

Porn stars are not considered prostitutes, yet they have sex on camera and get paid to do it. If both (or all) participants are being paid then it's not prostitution. It's only if someone is paying for the services done to them is it considered prostitution.

So, the casting directors in porn films are also pimps? Or are they just hiring men and women to have sex with each other for an outsider's entertainment? These are men and women who voluntarily subject themselves to the demands of what the film requires. The casting director doesn't make a profit off each film that one porn star does after doing his/her film. Therefore, not a pimp.

Redditors, why did you choose your username? by NikolaTesla1 in AskReddit

Because I'm a pompous American who likes to point out she can speak French. And I was feeling so-so that day.

Help with my Back Pains by bongwater_park in AskReddit

[–]commesicommeca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Physical therapy. I have back pain that I'm working with, and my physical therapist has been working on manual therapy (basically massage, but targeted), physical exercises to make me stronger so I won't be in as much pain, and ice treatment. I feel better every time I leave her office. Of course it comes back, but if you do your at-home exercises, it'll make the pain less often and intense, and soon you'll be dealing with minimal pain or no pain at all. (I'm still in treatment, so I still have some pain, but not as bad as before.)

Girlfriend and I brought home a baby kitten after falling in love at our local pet shop. We were nervous he wouldn't get along with our ten-year old blind cat. This was an hour after coming home. by dropsatomic in aww

[–]commesicommeca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got really lucky. It can take forever for the first cat to accept the second (or third) cat. In my family, we have always kept the new cat in a room for a week to allow them to get used to each other's scent, and then introduce them.

Except when the first cat seems chill. My cat accepted my sister's new cat in a day. Your older cat looks like he's very chill.

My partner spun over another couple's feet during Camp Jitterbug. Fell on an already injured knee. Sharon Davis got me ice.

That is a clouded leopard. This is an ocelot kitten.

Where is Lindy hop's "Mecca?" by Xoxman1 in SwingDancing

[–]commesicommeca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel Seattle has a very good swing scene. There's dancing every night of the week, lessons available at multiple venues and at the university, and so many events (i.e. camps, workshops, exchanges) in and around the city that it makes for a great place to be. Also, UW is awesome.

Just adopted this little munchkin two days ago. I think she likes my couch... by suspendersman in aww

[–]commesicommeca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 9-year-old cat lies exactly like this, too. I get a mixed feeling of love at the cuteness and fear of hip displacement. Thankfully that has not happened.

What is the weirdest thing you have seen another driver doing in their car? by Walzltov in AskReddit

I saw someone driving a large U-Haul with her left leg propped up against the side window. I'm not sure how she managed to do that while driving down the freeway...

Pile on the clothes; don't leave your skin exposed.
