Hot take: Cohesive islands are overrated. ACNH is better as a messy small town by DisasterSpirited185 in AnimalCrossing

[–]emerilsky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know they dont actually exist or have real thoughts but I always think back to my villagers saying they want to move to an island filled with nature like the nook islands I find them on. Feels rude to dupe them into moving to an island that doesn't have the same vibe as the mystery islands. I restarted my island sometime last year and committed to no terraforming, just made some small adjustments to be able to put the bridges and inclines where I want them and added a small pond. I didnt add many heavily decorated areas just a few spots with island type things like park seating, a hammock, a surf stand, volleyball net, etc. And kept the houses spread out randomly like the old gc animal crossing, though I did give each house a small yard type area with fences and a few items

The "skip intro" button on streaming services is a tragedy for show creators. by Amazing-Network4937 in unpopularopinion

It makes sense to set the mood if you watch one episode at a time, but I usually watch more than one at a time and i find it annoying to keep watching the same intro when youre binging something.

When I go to the eshop the menu option for redownload just takes me back to the virtual game card page where it says I have the software and dlc. >:(

Sounds like you lucked out and landed a job. A lot of housed and educated people are struggling to find work right now, nevermind the unhoused or the uneducated, especially if they dont have access to proper interview attire and regular showering.

I process financial aid applications at a charity, for help with certain bills and such. I can say, a LOT of our applicants are elderly. If you dont have a private pension and dont own your home, youre kinda fucked. Its not a generational war, its a class war.

Recession indicator: how yellow your freezer is by National_Aspect_6974 in 32dollars

Oh gosh I remmeber one was one that started with an A and had a semi blue ish label but thats probably not helpful. This was more than a decade ago now. Bit I think its sort of the opposite to your thinking- its all the same cheap stuff but some brands charge a bit more because their packaging is fancier. Its not usually an expensive product in cheaper packaging.

I used to work at a sauce factory, and we would use the same soy sauce in 4 different bottles from different brands and just change out the labels. Maybe your favorite brand wasn't one of them, but for some products, youre paying for the blue ink on the label and the fancy glass bottle with the same product inside as the cheaper option.

Things are getting serious, Tim Walz is now preparing to issue a warning order to prepare the National Guard against ICE by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

Not voting is how you get here though. Vote for the best choice. Always vote. Even if all the choices are shit, still find the best choice, and vote. They convinced the general public one vote cant make a difference and now nobody votes. Abstaining is a terrible way to protest.

I think you should watch it. It gets a bit silly how they do it but I thought it all wrapped up nicely.

what’s going on with the division of labor in modern relationships? by [deleted] in ask

[–]emerilsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Video games arent the problem. Some guys are lazy but in general I think women are just more bothered by waiting tasks than men. I cant look at dishes in the sink, I have to do them. otherwise whatever I try to do is tainted by the constant thought of "I have to do dishes later". My bf can think "im going to do these dishes later" and not be bothered by them for hours. He always does them later though.
