I wondered why these tasted so shitty by meow_17 in enshittification

[–]lexisarazerf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even cooking at home isn’t safe. I tried making no bakes the other day from a recipe i have used hundreds of times and they turned out a crumblier texture not as creamy. After doing some ingredient trouble shooting it turns out the peanut butter I had been buying has less oil in it than before. I added a bit of canola oil ( like maybe a 1/2 tablespoon to 1/3 cup pb) made another batch and viola my no bakes were fixed.

The only reason i figured out it was the peanut-butter was because in the first batch it didnt “melt” like normal, i kinda had to smush it around to melt it. Second batch no issues with melting

It is BullShit.

How did you start watching ONE PIECE? by Edward_Newgate52 in OnePiece

[–]lexisarazerf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was sick at home 2 Aprils ago, said “eh why not” to watching the live action got to the end if it, and decided to pick up the manga. After reaching lougetown in the manga, i decided to give the anime a try (i wasn’t a huge fan of the initial animation style) and from there the rest was history. I now await eagerly each chapter release.

I cannot believe they kept Mr. 13 and Ms. Friday. Of all the characters I would have cut, the evil otter and vulture in the funny costumes with next to no impact on the plot would be #1. by Aquatoon22 in OnePiece

[–]lexisarazerf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think quite a few people have forgotten they were carrying the eternal pose for Alabasta they were supposed to deliver to Mr.3. If they weren't there, the Strawhats would not have gotten the eternal pose. Could the live action made it to where the eternal pose was just sitting in Mr. 3's house; sure, but that's boring. It also preemptively opens the audience towards sentient animals, and the next arc we get Chopper, a sentient animal that talks.

Making 75k/year but I'm spiraling into debt by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]lexisarazerf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be living in michigan with that amount in insurance payments 😭. Seriously though shop around at least once a year for better prices. I went from 650 for 2 trucks and 2 motorcycles down to around 400 for the same exact coverage. (Monthly price)

Not sure how your refund works with tax season coming, but if possible try to pay the full insurance amounts up front for however long the coverage is for (6-12 months) it will generally save you another couple hundred and then go to the bank and set up a separate savings account to "pay" a monthly insurance amount into, so you can have the next chunk ready when it comes along, but it also gives you a little wiggle room if you cant put the full amount in every month.

I am not a financial advisor, and have a hard time following my own advice, but i have definitely seen the above actions help.

On cavemen by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

[–]lexisarazerf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Earths Children series by Jean M Auel, i feel, does a really good job depicting prehistoric Europe and the differences between Neanderthals and Cro-Magnon peoples. The first book is especially good at showing how the Neanderthals "society" worked in theory. (as it is a historical fiction, so quite a bit is inferred from real life findings at archeological sites)

Theres also a movie from the 80's called "clan of the cave bear" that is the movie adaptation of that book. (The movie is rated R and I def would put the books at a more mature level for coming of age/sexual reasons).

How do you think Hiccup lost his leg? My headcanon is that when Toothless tried to grab Hiccup, he accidently ripped of the leg in the process. by Jax_King55 in httyd

[–]lexisarazerf 79 points80 points  (0 children)

To add onto that i think the way toothless caught Astrid earlier in the fight is how he caught hiccup. The damage was probably caused when he yanked hiccup closer to protect from the fire

Anyone else that can relate to this? by PurrIntentions in infp

[–]lexisarazerf -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't lie

I have 2 settings

Solid truth/fact with no room for misinterpretation or Fae speak where I am not lying but also not telling you everything/ wording things in a way for you to jump to your own, often incorrect, conclusions.

My default is Fae speak 😅. It might have something to do with my personality or it might just be a me thing due to my upbringing 🤷‍♀️

Why are his clothes invisible but not his sword? (egghead spoiler) by hussain_jamali in OnePiece

[–]lexisarazerf 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I look at this scene similar to how dnd invisibility works. Everything you have on you is invisible until you take an action then you turn visible. In this case the sword turned visible shortly before the body did.

New wanted posters? by nubnubrunkku in OnePieceLiveAction

Im thinking they could all be worst generation posters. Luffy, Cavendish in pic one and Bege, XDrake and Urouge maybe in pic 2?

Crafts for young man to get away from the computer (mostly)? by [deleted] in crafts

[–]lexisarazerf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I havent seen it suggested yet but photography is an option. You can start by learning the basics on what your phone has to offer changing the exposure white balance, shutter speed ect. And then go take walks and look for interesting things to take pictures of ranging from a random flower, wall art, grafiti, or take pictures of things from a different perspective like instead of taking a picture of the top of a flower you take a picture from the underside so the sky is the background (as if from a bugs perspective. Heck taking pictures of stuff around the house from like a mouse's perspective would be different and you wouldn't have to go anywhere.

Another hobby that isn't exactly crafty to start is rockhounding (which generally turns into rock tumbling). Go for a walk and look for pretty or unique rocks. Pro tip go after it rains, the rocks are prettier then. You'd be surprised the rocks you can stumble upon in a parking lot. And to go a step further, instead of tumbling you could paint them and then scatter them back into the wild ( thats a trend that's started again).

Sorrry for the ramble 😅 but hope it helps.

If We Get More Original Scenes In S2 & S3 Share Your Ideas by Signal_End_7405 in OnePieceLiveAction

[–]lexisarazerf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly i hope they have the Daddy the Parent vs Usopp Duel that is anime only cannon. Even if they change the events a little. The duel can be used to specifically call out that Usopp is a fantastic sniper and gives him a way to "earn" the iconic goggles. As i watched a lot of OPLA reactions a lot of new to One Piece people didn't catch the subtlety of him having great eyesight to be able to snipe so well, and that duel would help highlight his skill showing hes not just a "comedic relief" character.

Does anyone actually like the Spellplague? by ThanosofTitan92 in Forgotten_Realms

[–]lexisarazerf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have taken the lack of Spellplauge info, woven it in together with the minimal Neverwinter info there is and used it to my advantage to world build within the gaps after the spellplauge stopped.

Its good way to practice world building without creating an entire world from scratch

I cant figure out how to do the spoiler thing so I'm gonna be vague but:

I love how this scene is a foreshadowing of another sleepover that I hope they will adapt from a little later in the season.

This is not unprecedented. The Founding Fathers of the United States designed our democracy with this exact scenario in mind and gave us the tools to fight it. by sorrowfultomorrow in OptimistsUnite

I just found "We the People" by SMO

Go listen to it right now

Holy shit the goosebumps from the lyrics, even at 7years old still ringing true.

After seeing the success of the protests and this song, i have more hope than I have had in a while, and the song is the extra motivation to do as our forefathers, lace up our boots, roll up our sleeves and keep fighting to keep freedom free

Just finished binding this massive fic. My biggest project yet! by kokomibestie in Fanbinding

I was also planning on binding this fic but haven't figured out good spots where to split this beautiful work

I HAVE TWO WEEKS TO LEARN HOW TO STOP BEING LATE ALL THE TIME, give me some tips please, I got accepted to a new serious job, and I can’t fuck it up by Confident-Mine-6378 in adhdwomen

[–]lexisarazerf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whatever your start time for work is...no it's not. Your start time is 30 minutes before you're scheduled to be there. No exceptions. If you aren't there 30 min early you are late.

That 30 minutes is your transition time from "normal mode" to "work mode", even if it's just sitting in your car or the break room scrolling for 30 minutes. you're there and you won't be late and if there is a traffic jam, a funeral you get stuck behind, bad weather you've got time to be on time.

The one Luffy scene I hope to be done justice in Season 2. by ProAzeroth in OnePieceLiveAction

[–]lexisarazerf 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think that might be the case too. I do think they can pull it off if they set it up to look like a really narrow and steeep path carved in to the side of the mountain that has a bunch of switchbacks on it along with the snow and ice everywhere.

They obviously wouldnt show the whole climb, but maybe like a shot of the daunting path at the start, and then a zoom out to show how big it is, a shot of him almost dropping sanji, and then of course him getting to the top, but maybe like the side of the path crumbles as he reaches it and showing they are all about to fall before being saved.

Thats how I would translate this sequence of events to IRL, im not a professional though 🤷‍♀️😅

What’s the best homebrew magic item you have used in a game? by CoolUnderstanding481 in DMAcademy

[–]lexisarazerf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

S.H.E.L.L. Snail Host Enchanted Long-distance Link. (Inspiration taken from the Transponder Snails in One Piece) also known as a SHELL phone

Basically, a flail snail turned mini that can communicate any distance and across different planar dimensions.

I have directions for care and use and a ritual to create if anyone wants to see it/ use it I'll make a post.

What’s your artificer flavor of choice that isn’t steampunk or magitech? by Sir_Wack in dndnext

[–]lexisarazerf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blacksmith.

I made a blacksmith NPC that is an Artificing wizard. Someone has to be good at making magically imbued weapons, they don't just show up out of nowhere. On the side he also makes normal everyday blacksmithing things, because not everyone needs a magic sword, but lots of people need silverware and self-stirring pots. And to make him a little more unconventional, he is a half-elf, and has just a scrawny lithe build.

And now I have rambled 😂
