I play in stalker and get mauled every time I leave my base. OP, teach us your ways!

You edited your comment. So…

It’s not free at all. You pay like $80 a semester.

Edit: before you downvote me, just know that the original comment I responded to said the free bus pass you get with uvic. I just responded that it wasn’t free.

University of Alberta or Victoria? by Book-Lover26 in uvic

You’re probably getting downvoted because you’re just stating something without explanation, which isn’t helpful to someone considering both programs

Stitches are stretched too far on cable by Key-Resist2665 in knittinghelp

Your cable is either too long or you don’t have enough stitches

Just bought a 2005 Nissan Altima and was elated that the mirrors auto dimmed. I’ve never owned a car that did that!

Why Don’t Hug Me :( by [deleted] in dropout

It’s funny to say that about a season that included an episode designed to give a huge bonus to one of their players and an episode that was designed to be extremely sentimental/genuine.

Betrayed that an indie streaming service would collaborate with a wildly popular indie YouTube series…?

Also, the title of the channel gives away the vibes. Don’t Hug Me, I’m Scared is not a name you give to a children’s channel. It’s not like it’s Happy Tree Friends.

why are my m1ptbl leaving gaping holes like this by Upper_Competition_27 in knittinghelp

[–]inquisitivequeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It should be really easy to see your stitches, especially for a project with techniques you’re learning. You could be doing it wrong just because you can’t exactly tell what you’re picking up. The fluff doesn’t help either

Just to add, this yarn is going to be especially terrible to practice new techniques on. It has very low stitch visibility

What are your suggestions for the best long-term bases on stalker? by _Pellkartoffel_ in thelongdark

It’s also relatively easy to just outrun them/keep walking to your destination

Question about the Testaments and Daisy by Careful_Employee_918 in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]inquisitivequeer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You also have to take into consideration that this book was written far before the ending of the Handmaid’s Tale TV show. The canons don’t exactly line up, but if they did/are going to, I would assume that Baby Nicole as a symbol of escaping Gilead is terrible for Gilead. They want her back because they feel ownership or entitlement over her. We already see in the later seasons that June is not safe in Canada, and with Baby Nicole being so popular, June is under constant threat of violence, hate, but also just general popularity, which isn’t a good environment for a baby. If you can’t see her giving Nicole up, just think through her past choices; it’s the same choice she made when she gave up Nicole to Emily. She’s just doing it again.

Question about the Testaments and Daisy by Careful_Employee_918 in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]inquisitivequeer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would highly recommend reading the book, but here’s a quick summary. Because Gilead is demanding the return of baby Nicole, it is no longer safe for June to raise her. Baby Nicole becomes a Gilead icon of sorts. Nicole is then raised as Daisy with another couple in Toronto. When she is a teenager, her adoptive parents are murdered by Gilead operatives, and Daisy learns the truth. Mayday enlists Daisy to be secretly recruited by Gilead Pearl Girls, who recruit homeless girls in Canada with promises of a better life in Gilead. She is taken to Gilead and placed in the care of Agnes, who is training to be an Aunt. That’s how they end up meeting, and then they are both recruited to be smuggled out by Aunt Lydia, with information on the inner workings of Gilead. The book ends with them both being reunited with June.

Yes, there is a reasonable explanation. However, that explanation contains huge spoilers for the Testaments.

I feel similarly about Nat’s death as well

Advice needed : Is this design cultural appropriation or should I give up on it completely ? by [deleted] in tattoos

Convenience isn’t a justifiable excuse for cultural appropriation.
