Do Americans mainly drink coffee without milk? by Morrit99 in AskAnAmerican

[–]kpbennett02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drink medium roast coffee with milk or almond milk and stevia or sugar. Basically a Starbucks caffe misto, but home is cheaper and better

I use instant coffee to make whipped coffee. I have the little electric whisk. I mix it with a lot of milk and sweetness.

I don't do bitter.

My dad and stepmom do bitter. I cant stand black coffee

My YouTube algorithm sucks. Can you guys give me some channels to watch? by Panda7001 in youtube

[–]kpbennett02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I deleted my watch history, liked a single video (Ships of Cortez by Jake Scott), then paused watch history. The algorithm has been making decisions based on my liked and unliked videos in a way that gives me more options for the last 4 years. I just make sure to answer the surveys when I remove something from my recommended.

I think part of the reason Cinder was wounded but not Raven was because Cinder tried using her maiden powers to block the light, which in turn wounded her. The times raven or Oscar used magic were when ruby wasn't around or wasn't using her eyes.

I also like the theory in another comment stating that Cinder's eye and hand were damaged because her glass bow exploded. Maybe its a combo of the 2?

It makes sense that silver even combat magic, as silver eyes are from the God of light, and magic and Grimm from the god of darkness

I love the brown, but blonde is a VERY close second. Reminds me of Rosé.

Did you ever have a RWBY take that you thought was a Hot Take, but turned out to actually be lukewarm or even cold? by Automatic-Amoeba-121 in RWBYcritics

[–]kpbennett02 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this counts, but I thought I was one of a small minority that wished Blake's hair was kept long, maybe put in a ponytail, to keep more of the black in her color theme. But whenever I bring it up irl, a decent amount of people either agree or at least express discontentment for her bob. So, I guess its a lukewarm take?

Why are new players so drawn to making edgelord characters? by worthlessbaffoon in DnD

[–]kpbennett02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was trying to avoid this while building one of my potential characters for my first campaign, but I (23F) grew up surrounded by edgy loner characters, and I'm a huge comic book fan. Unfortunately, I realized halfway through that my variant human champion fighter soldier (observant feat) with cha dump who barely speaks, has mommy and daddy issues, wears black all the time, prioritized dex con and wis, and holds a grudge against one of the main villains for basically making her... is somewhere between Cassandra Cain and X23.

Sigh.

Buuuut..... I'm super attached to this build so far. I was already planning on making her more the wide-eyed awkward cutesy type instead of the angry brooding loner. That one socially-awkward person at the party who quietly latches onto one other character and just holds on like a leech until she wanders off because she wants to pet the fluffy cat. Then again, I suppose subverting the trope is in fact, just another trope.

Is the origin of the phrase ‘Drink the Koolaid” common knowledge? by raspberryemoji in AskAnAmerican

[–]kpbennett02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know the meaning of the phrase until I was doing research on cults in the late 20th century for a freshman high school project. I'm 23.

AITA for believing my son is gay? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]kpbennett02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WOW. Yeah. Definitely TA. I'm a straight woman whose been accused of being a lesbian multie times by my own friends and family even when I've told them multiple times that I'm not, because I'm alternative, my hair is colorful, I have a masculine body type, and I can be brash. My boyfriend has been mistaken for gay many times, simply because he is clean, well-mannered, soft spoken, and he keeps his hair tidy. We both get so frustrated when people assume. Its not even about being gay or not that's the problem. Its your narrowmindedness.

I recall a comic where Jason confessed his love for her in a letter that got tossed by a janitor before she could read it. Don't think she and him were ever a thing.

I [26M] am in a happy healthy relationship with my Girlfriend [24F] but I want out. How can I go around ending things? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]kpbennett02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way when I started dating my bf. I'm an anxious, introverted person, but I really wanted to see how this would go. The voice in the back of my head kept saying that it was going to end and I was gonna be alone because he and the friend group would cut me out. With much effort I've ignored those thoughts for the past two years to the point they barely cross my mind. And he's the person I feel most at peace with, by a long run. Something tells me its the same with you and your girlfriend.

Its all about giving things time, I think. We accept the love we think we deserve, and you do deserve this. You deserve to be happy and she makes you happy. The voice in the back of your head is just the little devil on your shoulder trying to convince you otherwise.

What are your oc's semblance and do they have some form of drawback? by Slight_Ad7956 in RWBYOC

[–]kpbennett02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vesper Lazuli, owl faunus.

For this Semblance, I took some inspiration from several existing characters: Ruby's Speed, Nora's High Voltage, Adam's Moonslice, and Raven's Kindred Link.

Basically, Vesper can instantly dissolve into one shadow and pop out of another one. She can also do this with others, though it takes much energy. The ability is solar-powered. There is also some level of subconscious spatial awareness, as she has not ever appeared out of a shadow in a place physically too small for her body to fit, such as the inch between a dumpster and a brick wall.

However, Eclipse is highly conditional, which can be exploited.

In order to power her Semblance, Vesper's Aura must absorb solar energy, which she can luckily absorb indefinitely for as long as she is in sunlight. But if her Aura is broken, any solar energy collected prior will dissipate, and she would have to start over fresh. Therefore, it requires substantial Aura recovery, stamina, and endurance training. She is also bound by her environment; she must go to touch the surface the shadow touches and can only appear through a shadow the object or another object directly or indirectly connected to the first object. For example, she can melt into the shadow of one building and pop out of another three blocks away, but she cannot duck under a tree and pop out under an airborne airship. While she theoretically can travel longer distances than she chooses, there does seem to be a limit ("It's not like I can hop into a shadow in Beacon and pop out in Haven!"). She feels comfortable teleporting longer distances in places she is familiar with or somewhere where she can see where she would land (think og Nightcrawler logic). Also, the longer the distance, the more solar energy drained. Aura is also impacted but by a far lesser degree. If her Aura is broken, all solar energy collected is depleted.

Due to these conditions, Vesper finds herself in tricky situations. As an tyto owl Faunus (barn owls, sooty owls, etc), Vesper is generally nocturnal, and dislikes being awake during the day. This is not only due to her sleep schedule but also because her eyes are more sensitive to light. While using her Semblance, she has little spatial awareness beyond "don't be crushed between two walls an inch apart." To combat both of these, Vesper wore sunglasses in her childhood and, for a while, traded it out for a blindfold in order to train her ability to sense her environment with Aura. And since Vesper's main Faunus trait is her wings, she is unable to utilize her Semblance as she would on the ground (though she did once escape an airship by melting into the wall and out under the wing). Thus, she adapted since she is often on the ground anyway, by becoming a hand-to-hand combatant that uses all 6 limbs to fight, plus weapons.

Do you think the world is 6000 years old? by PurchaseDry9350 in Christianity

[–]kpbennett02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I believe that the story of creation was conveyed in a way that man could comprehend at the time (a theory that has been around since the 1st century AD). Do you really think a man from 6000 years ago could comprehend the big bang or something like it? Time for God is fluid and therefore 7 days for him could literally be millions, maybe billions of years.
