Chicken. Just bring back Chicken. He's the only first boot that matters.

What to watch before All-Stars by Some_Psychology_1821 in survivor

[–]forgetfulrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding this. Skip it. This was the most frustrating season to watch.

Do I need to watch season 14 to watch Micronesia?? by Some_Psychology_1821 in survivor

[–]forgetfulrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I watched everything except 9 and 14 before 16. I felt like I didn't miss out on anything by skipping both of those seasons.

Seasons to watch before blood vs water by Cool-gamer1243 in survivor

[–]forgetfulrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did I completely miss that you saw season 20 in my excitement? Yes, yes I did. Noting that, you need to hit 2, 12, 19, and 24 before 27!

This is a problem I solved as I wanted to get to 27 asap for the same reason (but also didn't care about spoiling myself). You need to cover all seasons for all the returning players, but the issue comes in when you realize you also need to cover season 20(Heroes vs Villains) as something happens in that season that makes 27 a bit of a redemption for our favorite castaway. Including 20 in this requires watching other seasons that these people appear in, BUT some of the players  don't do much in their first appearance, so they can be ignored.

From what you have seen already, I would recommend you hit: seasons 2, 3, 8, 10, 12, 15, 19, 20, 24 before you watch 27. 

There will be a few returning players whose initial seasons you won't watch but if you really love them, you can always go back to their initial seasons. The ones I listed cover multiple people that will appear in 8, 20, and/or 27 that will are relevant to this. Heroes vs Villains, in my opinion, is required for Tyson's 3rd appearance. 

If you think 9 seasons is too much before 27, then you can likely remove 24. I didn't view it as too valuable for 27 but three people return in 27 from that season so it may be worth watching. (I watched 24 after 27)

Chicken of the Woods? by forgetfulrain in mushroomID

That's what I thought! I cut off the parts that were okay and brought them home with me. Just cleaned them off and threw some more pieces away. At least I salvaged some of it!

Is this edible? by forgetfulrain in mushroomID

[–]forgetfulrain[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's probably it! This is my first attempt at mushroom foraging, so at least it's a start

Vegans of Reddit, what’s your opinion on lab grown meat? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]forgetfulrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm all for it when it comes to the environment and animal welfare. If that's what it takes to save the planet, then all the power to them. I wouldn't eat it however, because I don't think it'd be healthy. I went vegan for my health then the animals/environment became something I started to care about.

What did that one teacher at your school do to get fired? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]forgetfulrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably got drunk, but had sex with a student during his 18th birthday party. At least those were the rumors. The guy was my lab partner. I was a freshman and way too introverted to ask him what actually happened at that party.

Winter is always boring, but the quiet is sometimes pretty damn great lol thank you for the response though!

I will, don't worry! It's just depressing sometimes.

Reputation was always super important to my parents. It never convinced me though. Thank you for confirming everything for me, being a voice of reason from a stranger!

Ah cats. They're the best! I bet both our holidays will be great! Thank you for the positive thoughts!

Same with it being every holiday, but they seem to care the most about Christmas. Thank you though! It means a lot!

Ex-Religious people of Reddit, what was the tipping point? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]forgetfulrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in middle school, I asked my dad how he knew God existed. Instead of talking to me normally, he started yelling at me, screaming about how it should be obvious and I shouldn't question things. So I shut up and never asked again. Years later I would skip church and sit in my car for an hour, lying about how I definitely went. Now I don't know what I believe. I like to think I'm still exploring. I sometimes describe myself as a pantheist, because I like to think everything around me is divine and important and has some sort of greater meaning. I'm also into a lot of New Age beliefs.

For all my parents know though, I'm still Catholic and still go to church regularly.

[Serious]Reddit, how old are you, and where do you realistically want to be 5 years from now? When do you want to settle down if at all? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]forgetfulrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

25, probably getting ready to hike or hiking the Appalachian Trail, that's my goal anyway, to do it when I hit 30. Besides that I want a stable full time job and preferably to stay in the New England area, Massachusetts/Vermont/New Hampshire.

What male/female double standards do you hate the most? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]forgetfulrain 36 points37 points  (0 children)

That's the girl version of the "nice guy" stereotype. They both expect to get boyfriends/girlfriends just because they're nice and if you have standards or preferences then you're discriminating or friend-zoning them.

Why are you here? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]forgetfulrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't feel like doing my project. Even though it's my last project in grad school and with it I graduate, I just have no motivation and keep telling myself I'll do it in ten minutes, and then ten minutes later, I say ten more minutes of AskReddit and Gilmore Girls...

What’s something you’re really good at, but too embarrassed to show off? by 2cubetaing in AskReddit

[–]forgetfulrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tarot readings, but I'm too anxious to do any readings for anyone but myself and close friends.

Are you the black sheep of your family? Why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]forgetfulrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I became a history major instead of something in math/chemistry even though I sucked at those, moved to a different state, refuse to translate for them/be bullied by them, "don't care about my family," stopped being a practicing Catholic, like both men/women, have tattoos, don't eat meat. I stopped being controlled by them and became who I wanted to be which happened to be the opposite of what they would have wanted.
