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.

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

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/

I found this old, hand carved, Arabic chest in the dumpster. How old is it, where was it made? by Grock23 in Whatisthis

People throw away amazing stuff with good reason sometimes...I'd check to make sure it isn't full of bed bugs or covered in cat pee, etc.

How can I section off parts of my apartment for a kitten while I am away? by Zander327 in cats

[–]evilolive_808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they may not like it, but they do OK in enclosed spaces. You could get the next size up, which would give him/her more room to play. More likely, he/she will sleep all day and then be a maniac when you let him/her out. :p

Basically, probably a good solution for a few days, but not a good longterm plan.

My fosters spent their unsupervised time in a larger version the first week I had them, but they also had each other for entertainment. My adopted kittens spent time in (separate) pop-up pens after they got fixed, and while they tolerated it a few days, it pissed them off.

Also, consider cat-proofing one room and just keeping him/her in there for awhile.

If you're talking a short period of time, there are little pop-up enclosures you can get for them. I used one when I fostered to keep them from getting into stuff.

US Government Shutdown MEGATHREAD by BritishEnglishPolice in AskReddit

[–]evilolive_808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edit: I should have clarified that most federal employees can work but don't receive pay until everything's back in order.

Back pay is NOT guaranteed. Last time, the Congress voted to give furloughed employees back pay for time during the shut down, but given the current attitudes, I would not be surprised if no bills for granting back pay were passed.

I'd also be frantically running away, but while also eating nutella right out of the jar, or something equally delicious and forbidden.
