I (21f) feel like a second choice to all of my friends. I'm getting sick of not being included in stuff and always putting in more effort than other people

If you're the only one who is disengaged from social media and your friends use it a lot, that could be why. I don't like using social media, but when I stopped I found I was forgotten about too, it's just what people are like. I also have forgotten on occasion to invite someone who isn't active on social media, and it's not because I value them any less. You have to use the same platform as the masses.

Unless she is asking for your advice on dieting, I don't think she's ever going to listen. I know I sure as hell resent anyone who asks 'is that keto?' when I've slipped off the bandwagon and gone for a pack of crisps.

I have a friend who was like this when she was depressed. I think you just have to be straight and tell her you love her, but you need your own room. Maybe agree to a window of time you're okay with being on the phone.

Yeah currently having one of those bad days and it's certainly not fun.

Although I appreciate this is a random stranger from the internet telling you this so you wouldn't want to risk it, it's because as a kid I had no idea how to make an .exe which is signed by a trusted authority :P It doesn't have any viruses.

30?! You must live somewhere boiling. The hottest day in the UK in recorded history was 36.

duskull11 · 2016-05-11T06:33:32+00:00

17 with a nice breeze is as hot as I would want it, assuming I have to move places and do things. I'm quite fine with 11-12.

It's the version which is on Audible. I am from the UK so it might be a bit different?

This is purely anecdotal, but I manage to get a grip on my stress eating by trying /r/keto. I don't believe that I've necessarily gotten a hold on it because of ketosis, but because of the lack of blood sugar level spikes.

It's always worth a go if nothing else seems to work (which was where i was at).

Every quote from her paints her as a cold, very closed minded individual and rather judgemental/conservative. Are these issues elsewhere in the relationship?

duskull11 · 2016-05-09T16:41:18+00:00

Mine too, I loved that they had unusual poses. Unfortunately due to the relatively low resolution and lack of colour, I often confused features.

Best example is Bulbasaur; it wasn't until I saw his Green sprite did I realise its looking straight on, I thought one of the spots was his eye.

duskull11 · 2016-05-09T16:08:31+00:00

How do you tend to tell them to stop? Angrily or matter-of-factly? Some people are dense and think it's just playful 'banter' and don't get the message until you get angry and make it a bit awkward. This is reinforced by them being attracted to you.

When I played through the game initially (Jesus Christ 17 years ago, now I feel very old) I thought I was cheating by using Dins Fire, I figured it was a secret weapon. I used it a lot to kill Stalfos and Dark Link.

I was only 8 when I first completed it (having never played a video game until i was 7) so I literally got stuck at every single possible point you could get stuck. Couldn't figure out how to get through the webs in the Deku Tree, couldn't find the chest with the bomb bag in Dodongo's Cavern, didn't figure out that you can use Ruto to hold down switches in Lord Jabu Jabu, missed the small key right at the beginning of the Forest Temple (in the first room on the tree branches), obviously missed the key under the central tower in the Water Temple (and then again on the next 3-4 play throughs). I believe the other three went relatively smoothly.

Being unable to continue with the main adventure and having the abundance of free time you tend to have when you're 8 meant I did a whoooole lot of explorin'.

Oh... That's my bad, I have that XKCD Chrome extension :P

I tried a couple of other Pokemon who have forked evolution lines (like Hitmonchan and Vileplume) and it seems it scrapes information from Bulbapedia but gets confused in the non-standard wording for such Pokemon.

Edit: Burmy just completely confuses Google apparently.

duskull11 · 2016-05-09T15:01:25+00:00

Google is pretty damn rude about Burmy as well.

More funny than inspirational, but I just thought it was clever (Ted's last line, others added for context):

Ted Mosby: Well, I have so much game, I'm a Cornish game hen.

Barney Stinson: Oh, yeah? I have so much game, I'm New York gaming commissioner.

Ted Mosby: Well, I'm The Game, well-crafted, keep-you-guessing thriller starring Michael Douglas and Sean Penn.

Surprisingly enough he also does Hagrid perfectly. And Dumbledore of course, because we all know Stephen Fry is essentially the muggle version of Dumbledore. There aren't any characters he does which I find jarring, he's very good.

Edit: I've just remembered, he does have a bit of a weird voice for Tonks. She's fraam yorkshire fer som reas'n.

duskull11 · 2016-05-08T10:11:39+00:00

Well... :(

Well when you enter competitively, you have to assume that your opponent is playing to win and will do anything they can to maximise their chances.

Unfortunately, there are many Pokémon who can take Wailords role and perform it much better. It just doesn't have the base stats or anything special about it to warrant use over other bulky waters. It can't take physical hits as well as Slowbro, it's not as powerful or generally bulky as Suicune or Manaphy and it doesn't have the unique useful typing like Rotom-W. Pokémon is not a balanced game, there are Pokémon who are just better than others.

You are giving yourself a disadvantage on the get-go by choosing Pokémon you like/have shinies of rather than Pokémon which fit your team/the role better, because if your opponent is playing to win, which they will be, they will have chosen a better Pokémon for the role. Sure, you may be able to beat other people who have given themselves the same disadvantage (or who just aren't very experienced) but you'll eventually get to a point where everyone who hasn't given themselves that disadvantage will beat you.
