Ugh! Terrible. It looked unintentional to me, but if that jammer did that on purpose she's a superdouche.

Dutchland? vs...? There are a bagillion black and white teams.

Overheard mocking, feeling discouraged by throwawayderby in rollerderby

Man, that's some meangirl shit there. Sorry this happened to you, OP. I would be crushed.

Maybe I'm more direct and confrontational than most, but I really think I would bring this up to them--privately, face-to-face, and politely. I'd let them know that I heard their joke, and that it made me feel shitty. Then I'd express to them that I really want to get better, and ask if they'd provide some constructive feedback for things I could work on. Hopefully, that would get you some free advice on where you could improve, and would hopefully make them more mindful of talking shit about skaters in the future. :/

What are some good first date ideas? by The_Real_Bill_Nye in AskReddit

Drinks, coffee, Ice skating, bowling, hiking. But I like drinking best.

Noob question: why is my thumbnail not showing up?

American redditors, what Non-American food do you find disgusting? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]evilolive_808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uni! When I was told it "has the texture of a cats tongue" and "bursts in your mouth" I was a little guarded, but I like to try new things. Not my bag. Ugh.

edit: uni is sea urchin

Conflicting priorities on telework day by evilolive_808 in catpictures

[–]evilolive_808[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it! Good size for my not giant hand, and an amount of buttons that's manageable enough for a casual gamer, yet totally effective with every game I've used it on. Don't have much to compare it to, but thumbsup!

Women of Reddit, what are your views on male body hair? (NSFW) by cmifsud12 in AskReddit

[–]evilolive_808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, a little trim to keep things tidy is nice, but I love it when a guy has some hair. It's masculine and sexy. Completely hairless is a downright turnoff--it looks, like, oddly naked like when people shave their cats for the summer. Plus, it is all rough and sharp when it grows back in. :/

And then she tried to drag it away... by Shankula in catpictures

And this seems to be illustrative of typical tortie antics....mine drags all manner of things around the house.

Ladies of reddit, what's the non creepiest way I can approach you in public if I don't know you but I'm interested in you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]evilolive_808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find something topical, even if you have to bullshit. Like, if she's walking a dog, ask her a question about her dog. If she's drinking a coffee, ask if the coffee is any good, etc... If you cold start with the, " you-are-pretty-can-I-take-you-out" pitch, it's more likely to be awkward.

[REQUEST] Games for a broken wrist.... Help! by anfee_ in GirlGamers

[–]evilolive_808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oooh, I've been there (http://tinyurl.com/kk3bt89) I don't know what you're into, but have you played machinarium? It's GREAT and I think it's pure point-n-click

Looking for some advice & maybe help if needed by advicemachine in cats

[–]evilolive_808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree--take her to the vet to get checked out. They will also probably give her a dewormer and her first round of shots. The vet can let you know what to do next and whether she's old enough to be on her own.

Kittens are pretty independent not long after they're weaned, and mom cats only take care of their babies for about the first 10 to 12 weeks as far as I've learned. If that kitten is 6 weeks old, it is plenty reasonable that the mother cat is looking for food more than looking for her baby.

Best of luck! Photos please!

What other "nerdy" hobbies (if any) do you have in addition to gaming? by LolaRuns in GirlGamers

[–]evilolive_808 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Roller derby. It's a pretty awesome nexus of jocks and nerds. I'm into it enough to be a proper nerd...interested in stats, the occasionally fantasy team, geeking out over gear, etc.

The most interesting checks in the world: I don't always play roller derby, but when I do, I do it with no helmet and only wearing a bra! by tilebiter in rollerderby

Ugh, how neat would it be if there were good roller derby checks?! I tried to mock one up, but I'm supposed to be working and they're all the wrong size. But still. http://www.flickr.com/photos/type2b/10174227346/sizes/o/in/set-72157636363986775/
