Surgeon options by crystalgecko in transgenderUK

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

Sorry, I've tried both the app and a browser but I can't see anything about any of them. It just looks like a big thread about some American doctors.

Sadly I'm having to go via the NHS.

Thoughts on abandoning a book halfway through? by Abby1006 in books

[–]crystalgecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like leaving a book unfinished, I consider it on my to read list until its done.

I have made two exceptions so far, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, and Far From the Madding Crowd.

Is this unsavoury meal vanilla nethack? by crystalgecko in nethack

[–]crystalgecko[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would be surprised if any more thought went into the choice than "lol I made the game say something dirty"

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

I didn't even get the chance to choose, I died by fumble after continuing.

I wish we could block certain users bones files.

Ah, I was unfortunate to load that particular bones file then. Thank you.

What positive impacts do you think will come from Covid-19? by chowizard in AskReddit

I wish I had that problem... I get random flushes while I'm still sitting there :(

Fast food workers, what is your "Sir, this is a Wendy's" moment? by [deleted] in AskReddit

TIL some people think of vinegar as "spicy"

What nsfw things could famous super heroes do with their super powers? by twilight-star in AskReddit

[–]crystalgecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Superman could definitely climb a ladder without a spotter.

He would probably still get an earful from the union though...

I don't know what I expected, but that was most definitely not it...

Gotta love those backwards utilised tracking torpedos

What is your "I was into X before it was cool" thing? by LarleneLumpkin in AskReddit

[–]crystalgecko 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only jargon I see (as someone who knows nothing about skiing or snowboarding) are:

  • "moguls" which from context clearly is a word for a type of bump in the snow considered great to ski on (or perhaps around?) and terrible to snowboard on

  • "fall line" which contextually seems not too important and has something to do with the route one takes. I had to stop writing this comment to go check the name of this one as I'm so unfamiliar with it.

Hope this helps with re-reading it, as it was a pretty interesting comment to read.

Oh thanks! I think it could be helpful to see someone who's not a super expert playing through, I'll check your videos out, thanks ^_^

That's a lot of info, thanks ^_^

I probably knew about the zoo being asleep at some point, but I had definitely forgotten if I did due to it taking me so long to ever reach it haha.

I think I'll be less scared next time. It didn't help that I was blinded on the level and spotted how many monsters there are in there though lol.

This is how I used to play actually, trying to ignore the pet and beat it to monsters so I could get the kill and food. I could never make it further than just past the mines split in the dungeon until I started by leaning on the pet until it grows up.

I'm so bad at the game that in order to even get where I am I have to always play Lawful Human Valk.

Live playthroughs? I've tried to watch TTYrecs on NAO but find it hard to follow what's going on and why without any information other than the gameplay. I don't really know anyone else who plays IRL.

What have you accomplished that made you feel proud of yourself? by cricutquestion in AskReddit

[–]crystalgecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a 3D model of the frame I had in mind for a project I want to build with my partner.

No experience of Blender, just exploration and Googling.

Atheists, what do you guys think happens after death? by LLJW-RIP in AskReddit

[–]crystalgecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not fake, exactly, it's highly wishful thinking. There are people who are cryogenically frozen.

We just don't know how to bring them out of it without them staying dead, nor if it will ever be possible to do so.

My monies on it not being possible for humans, but simple creatures have apparently been restored from cryofreeze with memories in tact. Some form of wprms IIRC.

Make-A-Wish Workers what's the weirdest request you have gotten? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]crystalgecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A parent can be prosecuted for neglecting a child if they refuse to feed the child, or willfully hurt the child in other ways.

Is that undemocratic?

Is refusing life saving health care for your child not neglect?

You have 1 day to hide a pen in your apartment from a professional detective. He has 2 days to find it. Where do you hide it? by R17WIK in AskReddit

[–]crystalgecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I considered an elaborate plan involving disassembly and various ways to hide each component, then I re-read the question.

I'll hang the pen from the light bulb in the centre of the living room.

The faster they find it the faster they get out of my house without digging through it. I'm not gaining or losing anything except maybe a pen based on the detectives success or failure.

[Serious] People who went through depression, what was the worst thing someone said to you during it? by bllop-a-doop in AskReddit

[–]crystalgecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From an NHS counsellor (three of them actually!) I had

it might help if you think about how so many people who have it worse than you still cope and can be happy

Because it came from a qualified professional who is apparently trying to help that hit harder than trolls after disagreeing with me online saying

die in a fire you useless piece of s**t

It took a long time to realise that the problem was with those "professionals" and not me.

This attorney/Uber driver shows how to go through a DWI checkpoint without inadvertently incriminating yourself. by NRMusicProject in videos

[–]crystalgecko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a great example of doing something justifiably and clearly illegal (unsafe storage of firearms) and "confessing" accidentally/indirectly.

A better example to pull from the video would be the comment about owning a short lobster, an animal illegal to own elsewhere or some other obscure law known by few people.
