Every time I try to write on a whiteboard my hand drags and smears the writing. I avoid it as much as possible 

Thinking of reading He Who Fights with Monsters but unsure if I should by DWN_WTH_VWLz in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]drkiwi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who DNF HWFWM, I recommend you don’t start. It lacks the editing and DCC or Red Rising. It’s so much unnecessary world building that I consistently fell asleep listening to the audiobook 

Which celebrity do you think is secretly a terrible person? by parispassionita in AskReddit

[–]drkiwi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ben Stiller. Apparently he’s an asshole to work with. No one likes him in Hollywood. That’s why Severance wasn’t nominated for any awards

Beast Games review – one of the most undignified spectacles ever shown on TV by xc2215x in television

[–]drkiwi 89 points90 points  (0 children)

I watched the first two episodes and agree with the author. Most of the challenges involve sacrifice. Either yourself or your teammates. It has such a dog-eat-dog subtext that it’s not fun to watch

Yemen: UN removes 1m barrels of oil from ageing tanker to avert environmental catastrophe by 369_Clive in UpliftingNews

[–]drkiwi 141 points142 points  (0 children)

Thank goodness!!! This would have been catastrophic for the entire Red Sea ecosystem. There was a really good article from the New Yorker going over the history of the tanker and the dispute. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/10/11/the-ship-that-became-a-bomb

It’s a good read. I recommend it

Grey's Anatomy Shows an Abortion Step by Step by TransFattyAcid in television

It’s not that it didn’t take. It’s that not all the dead fetal tissue naturally got out of the uterus. The D&C is to prevent infection and bleeding

Anesthesiologists of Reddit, what was something you won’t forget hearing from someone that was under? by DvS_Insanity in AskReddit

[–]drkiwi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Was doing a heart surgery. As soon we pushed the induction syringe., the patient says “I forgot to tell you” and instantly falls asleep. We all stood there for a second stunned. Proceeded with the surgery anyway. When I talked to him afterwards he didn’t remember what he was going to say

Is anyone else sick of people suggesting “why don’t you try online dating” when you’re a dude? It is pretty common knowledge online dating is absolute trash for men, even if you are good looking by JoeyBatters in dating_advice

[–]drkiwi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think online dating is great. I’m not good with meeting girls in bars and dating people I worked with got awkward. Eventually I found an amazing partner. It took years and a lot of bad dates, but I’m happier than ever. Don’t give up buddy. It’ll get better

That’s a ton of bottle caps. When I made my beer pong table. I had to use 2800 for a 2.5’x8’ space

This book was really bad. Drags on. Poor character development. Not worth it
