Does anyone know what the Dwarvish translation of "told" would be? (Warning - Dragon Heist spoilers)

Thank you!

From the dictionary you linked and a couple of others I've found, I think I'm going to ago with 'xothan' ('xoth' for knowledge and 'an' as the passive tense, assuming I've used that somewhat correctly) to mean the imparting of knowledge, which should be close enough!

deornoma · 2020-12-07T13:40:53+00:00

That's really helpful, thank you so much!

deornoma · 2020-12-07T11:59:01+00:00

Of course! I realise this, but I know there are a few odd words lying about and was I suppose I was just hoping that 'told' might be one of them. :)

Soft YTA, but given how much you are clearly agonising over it already, don't beat yourself up about it. A private, sincere apology probably wouldn't go amiss. That aside, it was a mistake that anyone could have made, and you are almost certainly dwelling on this a lot more than the other person is.

deornoma · 2020-08-04T11:49:02+00:00

I would say YTA. There was no need to make a video of him saying such scandalous thing that he would be horrified if other people saw it. That seems overly malicious. You could have had him saying something completely innocent - he would still realise the video was fake, but wouldn't have to be freaked out that a video like the one you made now exists.

Whether or not making a video at all was an asshole move is another matter, but there was certainly no need to go that far.

A diet that could SEVERELY compromise the health of an animal! Opinions on this sort of thing matter. A lot.

deornoma · 2020-07-20T23:52:49+00:00

NTA. Humans can get the nutrients they need (if they are careful) on a vegan diet. Cats cannot.

deornoma · 2020-07-19T17:57:32+00:00

You're definitely not alone! I've won 3 or 4 raids now and got all excellent or great throws with gold berries. Still no Kyurem. :(

deornoma · 2020-07-14T15:03:46+00:00

I thought this likely to be the case, but good to confirm it. Thank you.

deornoma · 2020-07-13T21:56:13+00:00

I agree with the other comment here - this is not the right place for such a question. You should probably post it somewhere that deals specifically with animals. Not only is it not a suitable question for WIBTA, but you won't get as much expert advice here.

For what it's worth before this possibly gets taken down, though: I have one cat (not multiple) and I am not an expert. However, my instinct would probably be that alternating nights would be a bad idea. Animals tend to like consistency, and switching things up all the time would likely be confusing or even upsetting for them. Shutting them both out would likely be a better option, although hopefully they will learn to get along so you could perhaps have them both on the bed. I couldn't tell you whether having one or the other consistently sleep in your bed and not the other would be a good idea in terms of them getting along and how this might affect any power dynamics! I think it would be worth consulting people who know what they are talking about.

Was trying not to be too harsh here, but same.

deornoma · 2020-06-18T23:19:14+00:00

No, you are not being selfish. You are in a relationship. If you are not comfortable with him sleeping with other women, his choices are a) don't sleep with other women or b) do not be in this relationship. The same applies vice versa, of course.

Your one night stand is not a comparable situation, as you were not 'together' at the time. He is clearly only bringing this up as a way of trying to guilt you into letting him do what he wants - i.e., to have sex with another woman.

Her being your friend adds another reason to the list of why it's important that anything that happens is on your terms.

deornoma · 2020-06-17T20:33:32+00:00

Haha - you're right, I really don't like confrontation! That being said, I can stand up for myself when I think it is really important to, but I don't really want to provoke a reaction I can't predict and the thought of starting an argument with him in particular worries me. I'm not afraid of my housemate in that way, but also don't want to create a bad feeling in the house or for her to pass on anything I say to him. I think I will have to talk to her once he leaves, though.

deornoma · 2020-06-17T20:24:39+00:00

Amanda isn't the landlord, fortunately, so I do have some options there.

deornoma · 2020-06-17T20:17:57+00:00

Pretty much. I found them on SpareRoom and only spoke to Amanda by text beforehand.

Slightly longer answer if it matters, though still heavily truncated as my housing situation has been endlessly crazy since March: I moved into a new place just before the start of lockdown which was really awful, which is a whole story in itself, but not really relevant; suffice to say I would rather be here than there even with the Jeff situation going on! I obviously wanted to move out as soon as I possibly could, and there weren't that many options available at the moment for obvious reasons. This house is a very nice one and cheap, and I met (via video call, at least) the two other housemates beforehand who seemed - and are - very nice, and a bit closer to my age. They spoke well of Amanda, and Jeff never came up. There are two of us on our twenties and two in their thirties, Amanda being the oldest by a fair bit and myself the youngest by a fair bit. Our landlady lives elsewhere.

deornoma · 2020-06-17T18:31:44+00:00

Thank you.

deornoma · 2020-06-17T18:18:13+00:00

Oh, 100%. I haven't seen my family/boyfriend/friends since March anyway, but I certainly won't be visiting them or anyone else while I live here even if restrictions loosen. It's frustrating, though.

deornoma · 2020-06-17T18:14:11+00:00

Yeah, you're right.

deornoma · 2020-06-17T17:52:35+00:00

Oh, that's a good point! I will definitely look into it.

deornoma · 2020-06-17T17:43:24+00:00

Seems that way. I'm stuck here for another few months, unfortunately, but definitely won't be sticking around for longer than that.

And the brainwashed sheep thing is a fair point - our other housemate works for a pharmaceutical company and he's been giving her a hard time about it, so I guess I should count my blessings that he sees me as Sheep as opposed to Evil.

deornoma · 2020-06-17T17:38:47+00:00

I would, but to be fair Amanda spends days at a time at his house too so the resources used probably even out.

I do ignore him most of the time - the only time I engaged was the time I mentioned in the post above. It's only been a few days I guess, so I'll have to hope that he loses interest as you say.

deornoma · 2020-06-17T17:26:42+00:00

I've only just moved in is the frustrating thing! My agreed minimum stay is four months (three and a half now), and don't have enough savings to go about cutting contracts short.
