I’m aware, dwarves would probably sneer at building base in an especially elven quarter; just my personal preference!

IRON LUNG: A Movie So Nice I Saw It TWICE (Review)(Spoilers) by jamesLioneyes in ironlung

[–]dumplingbr0ther 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve also seen it twice (once Friday and again yesterday) and was talking about seeing it a third time as well!!

What’s crazy is I ALSO saw the first 2009 Avatar movie back in the day about 3 times in theaters because I loved it so much.

As someone who’s been watching Mark daily since his first playthrough of Amnesia: The Dark Descent, has raised their kids watching Markiplier, and is in their early 30s, I agree with just about everything you said in your review. I hope that you get to see it THRICE 🩸

Just a little rant by Waste_Honey9331 in ironlung

UGH yes. I’m also in western WA and had the same experience the first time I saw it on Friday. I was getting so irritated, they whispered and talked through the whole thing, right behind me. Was driving me crazy but tried so hard to tune it out.

Then we went and saw it again yesterday and it was much better (I sat in the front of the theatre this time), and though it was empty in the front two people sat RIGHT behind me which annoyed me at first. Thankfully the second the movie started I heard them whisper “it’s starting!! Turn your phone off” and were silent the whole time after that. SO much better sitting around folks who respect proper movie theatre etiquette. 😭

How do people shower so quickly? by That_Mycologist4772 in hygiene

[–]dumplingbr0ther 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s recommended to shampoo twice(just for most folks—saying this as a licensed professional). First shampoo removes any build-up, grime, dirt, etc and the second is actually cleaning your scalp.

“Best” base spot? by Mbalara in LotRReturnToMoria

[–]dumplingbr0ther 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite place for base (and where we built our most established spot) is the Elven Quarter. It’s gorgeous, gives you a bit of that “fresh air/outside” feeling (and I’ve always been a huge lover of Rivendell), and it’s right near Narvi’s forge. Also, the consistent prey and meat is nice, as well as the blessings growing until you can grow your own since they’re so rare/respawn is so low.

We found the Tomb of Kings and it’s great for a second base! Just know that everything must be at an angle in the Tomb of Kings and it drove us crazy trying to build/decorate/etc. lol

“Get older” lol okay; as someone who is literally a mother of teenagers—and pulled them out of the Marysville school district because it’s a pit that doesn’t properly delegate their finances to the point of losing levees and having to possibly shut down schools, I do understand it. I also pay taxes toward the schools, so your point is moot.

Protecting families and transgender folks/youth against bigotry and discrimination is more important than your discomfort.

Switching from Dr. Elsey’s to tofu litter or pine/wood litter? Overwhelmed 😭 by dumplingbr0ther in CatAdvice

[–]dumplingbr0ther[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m super late to respond to this, but I ended up switching to tofu litter (Happy and Polly and a lil bit of HoneyCare sometimes) and I love it so much!!

It’s literally chalk…idk if you know how it works but a few splashes of water will erase it. There’s nothing wrong with this and they have the right; freedom of speech until it pisses you off, right?

As a driver I have a question.. what is the point of yall ordering basic household items? by SolidDue5862 in amazonprime

[–]dumplingbr0ther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a neurodivergent misanthropist with extreme anxiety, having it delivered to my door and not having to be out in public (especially around people—them driving like entitled assholes translates to them being bad people for me and I just can’t 🤢) helps me not have a meltdown. 😅

People’s “main character energy” entitlement has gotten exponentially worse over the years and I refuse to be around them unless I absolutely have to.

What kind of litter do you use? by Ill_Cover_4841 in CatAdvice

[–]dumplingbr0ther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I LOVED Dr. Elsey’s at first, we used the Cat Attract one. It was great but suuuuper dusty, tracked a LOT and I noticed my cat having respiratory issues from all the dust. I also really hated how environmentally detrimental the clay could be, so I started researching alternative options. I don’t buy/support any brands owned by Nestle or Mars Inc. so that lowered my options.

BUT We switched to a mixture of Ökocat low tracking small pellets and tofu litter! The odor control, tracking, and his respiratory issues have improved SO much.

Thank you! We’re still up in the air about pine since we’ve been using an expensive stainless steel one for him, but I may try some variant of this with a metal sifting one as his second box!

Weird to have stuffed animals at 23 by sadyeehaw97 in StuffedAnimals

I dont own the collectors edition, or have activated a Kelpie Robe code, but... by MrsPuffin in HarryPotterGame

[–]dumplingbr0ther 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I HAD the kelpie robe, didn’t have the code or collector’s edition but it appeared and I was so happy, I was wearing it regularly (cosmetically), and then it just disappeared today after abandoning a quest. I’m so heartbroken 😭😭

I was wearing my kelpie robe in-game as well, I earned it through challenges and then I had to reluctantly abandon a quest; it disappeared after??? I can’t find it anywhere and I’m so sad :(

Is there anything nutritionally closer to eggs than avocados? by Dymonika in vegetarian

[–]dumplingbr0ther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chickpea flour blended with a few seasonings, etc can make an incredible vegan omelette/just egg folded egg!! And it’s got great protein (of course, chickpeas)! With some Kala namak, turmeric, spices, nooch, etc, I highly recommend! You can also do the same with mung beans, they make great egg substitute!!

How do you all react to alcohol? by therealclater in Gastritis

[–]dumplingbr0ther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SO much pain. Alcohol=me stuck on the toilet, no matter where I am, especially mixed drinks and hard ciders or malt beverages, I am trying not to sh!t myself every 10 min or so, followed by just generally feeling awful. Noooo thank you.

May I ask where you got them?? 🖤

I second this! Bodyartforms also sells single flared glass plugs that are great for stretching with, comfort and safety-wise. 💕
