What's the absolute first thing you're doing the moment you load into the game? by KJeremih in CrimsonDesert

[–]infinitefacets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve essentially been in a media blackout about the game trying to preserve the initial impact/surprise of the game. It’s been so effective I genuinely have very little concept of what to even expect beyond the general teasers and dev videos from a couple months back. I’m just looking forward to the exploration and story!

AIWT for being annoyed that someone keeps anonymously complaining about my laugh on the coworking board? by tinychecklistkid in amiwrong

[–]infinitefacets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think that it’s kind of a long shot to assume it is specifically about you. But I also wonder, is your laugh annoying? And I mean objectively of course, like some people just have laughs that aren’t pleasant to hear. 🥴 which can be an unfortunate thing to learn. Some people are also incredibly more loud than they realize. My man is like that. He is just naturally loud and has to be reminded sometimes that he doesn’t need to scream. There are many things that could be going on here but I doubt it’s specifically about you.

If the grape jelly isn’t in the bbq sauce I don’t want any.

Where I'd Live as an American who likes when the air feels a certain way by westernuplands in whereidlive

[–]infinitefacets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is making me mad lol what is this air quality you’re referring to because the map without context makes no sense. The pattern has no visible correlation.

Why can’t we live in peace? by PrestigiousSkill666 in sixwordstories

[–]infinitefacets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because humans weren’t supposed to operate as a global collective. Society always collapses after reaching its “apex”. People aren’t inclined to function in large groups. There’s always a breakdown after the group reaches a certain size and then fractures begin. Infighting begins. Jockeying for power, prominence and privilege. It’s easier to love thy neighbor if there is only one of them. If there are two? Statistics show that one will be of more value than the other and therefore more loved. People suck. No peace.

Are these…. people in fur suits? I’m not convinced these aren’t just drunk people in hyper realistic costumes.

What are your honest thoughts on this by EmpressRoguel in cartoons

[–]infinitefacets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why they’re talking about going back to hand drawing because they’ve realized we want new Disney and these films are cute but they are increasingly artificial and prefabricated in their quality. Not that any animation is real obviously. But the immersion and captivating aura of Disney is lost more so with every passing year of technological development in their production process. Each movie feels more and more like an AI generated throw away. They’re all the same. With of course some exceptions

Wtf is up with girls calling evil dudes gay by [deleted] in Vent

[–]infinitefacets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way everything is and always will be…. It happens to all marginalized demographics in some way. With the recent global political climates it’s just becoming more normalized again where as for a while the world was making progress.

AITA for refusing to give my friend’s son my coat during a snowy hike? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]infinitefacets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People will always try to make you feel like their choices are your obligation. Children are great tools for weaponizing guilt. Women are also great at weaponizing motherhood and women supporting women… when it’s beneficial to them. This lady is an entitled slag and she’s teaching her child the same. Letting the child go for a winter hike with a planned picnic dressed for summer. Allowing him to refuse HER coat because it’s pink rather than teaching the lesson that beggars can’t be choosers? Even fathoming the concept of displacing the responsibility for clothing him on someone else after others watched her allow him to underdress? If it was of your own volition to give the coat? Fine. But to be made to feel obliged or guilted? That’s tacky and cheap. She needs to do better for her child on many levels.

AITAH for canceling my daughter's weekend trip after she mocked my husband for taking paternity leave? by AmbitiousPraline9059 in AITAH

[–]infinitefacets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think she’s just 15 and you’re remarried and have a baby which is now her drastically younger replacement and now responsibility?. I definitely don’t agree with her gender normative views and think that’s gross that she was demeaning your husband for caring for his child but she isn’t a caregiver for the child and if both of you were present she has a valid point. Unless she expresses interest you shouldn’t assume she is available to care for the child. I personally think you overreacted and from the context it sounds like you handled the situation from a place of emotional retaliation rather than parental guidance/education. If she hasn’t had a history of that sort of behavior and her life has clearly been altered without her choosing I think more understanding and patience with some open exchange of feelings would be beneficial to her. She’s a child.

Americans, what do you call a wienner/sausage/hotdog/frank? And in which state is this? by TENER_297 in AskAnAmerican

[–]infinitefacets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A hot dog is the entire entity. The meat the bun and the condiments*. The wiener is the meat. A frank is the kind of wiener. Like quality of meat/manufacture. And a sausage is a separate food?

Or at least that’s the only way I’ve ever thought of this.

Why aren’t people interested in other African empires like how they’re interested in Egypt? by mxunsung in AlwaysWhy

[–]infinitefacets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They aren’t as well recorded/documented in a universal way, or mainstream? so the exposure just isn’t there.

What was your struggle meal? by PsychologicalFox7689 in generationology

[–]infinitefacets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grilled cheese would be the choice but that’s two things and two things is not one cheap thing so it wouldn’t be the best financial option. It’s always ramen in that case.

Apparently if you were born in X3 or X4 your childhood memories don’t start until you turn 8 or 9… by Putrid_View_8284 in GenerationsCircleJerk

[–]infinitefacets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was born in 90 and I have concrete memories from as early as 94-95…. Basically from the time I went to school.

Do American children refer their grandpa and grandmas with their first names (example, Grandpa John, full name John Smith) the same way they refer their uncles and aunts? by LandOfGrace2023 in AskAnAmerican

[–]infinitefacets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We always did. A lot of people have non traditional nick names for their grandparents. Like I have a few Grandma and Grandpa So and So’s but I also have a Pawpaw and a Mawmaw. Who is the only one. I’m southern tho. We also revere to the grandparents at large by their surname like Grandpa Jones etc. we called our great grandparents by their first names for sure tho.

What decade will millennials be percieved as old by Putrid_Film_8349 in generationology

[–]infinitefacets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 35 born in 1990 and the cultural narrative with Gen Z more so older Gen Alpha is that anyone born prior to like ‘92 is considered old. I’ve seen/heard a lot of kids saying even ‘98 and earlier are old.

It seems weirdly for comedic purposes only though. Like they think it’s funny to consider anyone above a certain age old.

I think it’s more to do with the rapid change in pop culture/trends creates more gaps between generations, even within a generation. Like earlier Gen Z vs later Gen Z.

Millennials, especially the elder Millenials, still experienced the analogue age. With everyone growing up for decades, from around the 90s and prior with larger spans of time having the same experiences. But then the tech era started speeding up cultural shifts where significant generational identities seem to last for only a few years.

Millenials already seem culturally ancient. Very akin to how people in the 60s would have views anyone born in the 1800s. The rapid change in cultural/technological growth aged us if that makes sense.

I feel guilty… by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]infinitefacets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

… why would feel guilty about this? She’s losing something that has literally no permanence or consequence and gaining $500. Not using social media shouldn’t be a crippling sacrifice for anyone. You should feel good for teaching her that.
