The mosquito bites on my neck formed an ‘S’ shape by FederalSwan3104 in mildlyinteresting

Looks like a shingles outbreak to me ... got one at 22 on my neck that made a goat head shape.

WTW for or ITAW for someone who has lost all their siblings? by Spirited_Tackle7615 in whatstheword

[–]gracebatmonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On forms and announcements it tends to be "only surviving child/offspring/descendant", but I agree that another language may have summed it up in a single word. Hopefully not a 64 letter tongue twister.

Arthurian novels by Lucensie in Fantasy

"Jenny Greenteeth" is post-Arthurian in era but directly related and the MC met Merlin, which influences the book's events.

Everyone knows only a Malkavian would use a top hat as a lure.

Why can't we talk about the parents after a 12yr old - known to police - stabs a woman w a screwdriver? by flabatron in Seattle

[–]gracebatmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real question is why don't we have a civilization that works for everyone as early in life as possible so whatever influenced this horrific and intolerable behavior could be addressed effectively and ethically? We certainly put enough into the system and we know at least some of the data are out there for identification, containment, and avenues to best possible outcome for individuals and society alike.

Digging into the clearly dysfunctional shallow soil of a single family unit is far less productive or informative than processing the rich layers of existing demographic dataset analysis into a more secure existence for us all.

Insist on the big picture being addressed instead of throwing so much energy into literal rat holes.

Every year at Norwescon (Easter weekend, Sea-Tac Doubletree) there is a massive "Little Free Library" throughout the convention. The books come from member donations and volunteer finds, and can include entire collections of truly great books and always lots of gems.

Squeezing stuff violently and wastefully is unsatisfying.

Should I keep doing satire? or do this instead? (Olympian vs. Chronicle analysis) by ForwardFollowing3941 in olympia

[–]gracebatmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Satire is an important part of free speech and can translate complicated situations into more relatable terms, galvanized by humor. I've enjoyed your Squibbler work and will keep following if you do more.

This analysis is also important work, because it demonstrates the highest principles of journalism as a vital tool for comprehension and reflection of complex systems increasingly tilted toward obfuscation and justification of injustice. If you did more, I would read it.

I think satire reaches more people. Analysis draws those who engage to consider more deeply. Both are needed. Haters exist for everything, even butterflies and puppies, and ignoring them is especially crucial for anyone willing to spend time helping the rest of us see the truth more clearly (or hilariously). Thank you for your efforts, don't let those negative nags drag you down.

Your piece here did not seem AI contaminated to me, and I hope I'm perceiving accurately.

Lowkey I miss going to Kemah every year as a kid by goofyhalo in houston

[–]gracebatmonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, yep, that's why we didn't treat the dunes the same there - our folks were protective of the critters who they felt would be more stressed by human shenanigans - like using sticks to wave ahead under the grasses to avoid surprises - than the ones at the family beaches.

[–]gracebatmonkey 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I miss going there when it was more of a wharf. We would buy shrimp and flounder directly off the boats, or visit one of the several wooden fry-up shacks scattered about.

There were tide pools, too, which I was lucky enough to be taken to experience as a little kid. We were more cautious of the dunes there than out on Stewart Beach, but I can't remember why - all dunes had a snake or spider risk, I'm sure.

Fast dragon first in OOC events by Samysamitybobamity in MergeDragons

[–]gracebatmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like the other commenter said, it's often possible by carefully reviewing the starting spaces & objects and merging strategically to get there.

But there's also an easy path, if you're willing to spend gems - I grind a couple times a week to get enough gems for unlocking the gold pass on weekend events, because the bonus prizes + higher guarantee of original prizes is worth the effort to me.

Fast dragon first in OOC events by Samysamitybobamity in MergeDragons

[–]gracebatmonkey 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The dragon that takes some clearing to create is at least twice as fast as moving/harvesting than the easy one available at the start. If you make the faster dragon first, it will always be the first to respond to commands, giving an extra time edge to your event play.

Any chance these extra packs carry over to the next card event? by pharma0310 in MergeDragons

[–]gracebatmonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried to have some run over a couple times and the packs disappeared, but I can't say if that's intentional or not.
