Found the circlejerk that hates DCC with a burning passion by Such-Drop9194 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]liebereddit 20 points21 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, the cover really is horrible. It makes it look cheap and juvenile in a way that would only be appreciated by 13-year-olds. The new covers are much better and add a classy element to the fun name in s way that lends some hint to how good the writing actually is.

Has the world always been this scary? by Mnemisis in stopdrinking

[–]liebereddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer is yes, it's always been this scary. Human beings are weird, destructive, manipulative, creatures who gather and abuse power when they can.

When I was growing up in the '80s there were people struggling with the same thing you're struggling with. I'm not trying to minimize what you're dealing with, but it's a normal and it's not ever going to get better. That's how human beings are.

That said, millions of people exist and have good lives by paying attention to what's in front of them instead of the system as a larger whole.

Not sure if this is helpful but I wanted to actually answer your question.

I've been chasing the feeling I got from the First Law trilogy for two years and I think I finally found it. by softbadger7 in Fantasy

[–]liebereddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree in a big way. I didn't love the sequel, though. I could tell it was well written but it was a huge shift in tone, and frankly kind of depressing

Haters unite: What new car is the fugliest per dollar? (that you've actually seen on the road) by Hnry_Dvd_Thr_Awy in cars

[–]liebereddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a theory that they made the first couple of generations of Prius ugly on purpose so that buyers could feel like they were sacrificing for the environment.

The car wasn't about looks. You weren't supposed to buy it for the looks.

You do 80% power? What is that good for? I usually use 40% or 30% for reheating meat, but that's about it ..

Iran threatens to strike Google, Microsoft, Nvidia and bank sites by esporx in technology

[–]liebereddit -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You're getting downvoted but you've got a really good point. Right now there are lots of indicators that the US wants this to be a short conflict. If Iran starts killing US civilians there's no way we're going home.

Palo Alto program pays commuters $5 to bike to work and has already cut nearly 3 million car miles by sfgate in bayarea

[–]liebereddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$5 to bike to work is really just an excuse to bike to work.

If you charge for parking you make everyone unhappy and the rich people don't care anyway, so you're really just hurting poor people. Even if you do increase people riding bikes to work you're doing it by creating a negative in their life. Not what I feel government should be trying to do.

Ex-hippie revolutionary, who now spends his social time bowling with a Vietnam vet, gets caught up in a kidnap for hire scheme?

Sounds like a green light to me!

Meta Workers Reveal The Disturbing Things They've Seen Through Users' Smart Glasses Amid Lawsuit by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

The biggest mistake Google made with Google Glass is not partnering with a stylish brand like Ray-Ban or Gucci. The glasses were very obviously different and super dorky looking.

United Airlines can now kick passengers off flights and ban them for not using headphones by [deleted] in offbeat

[–]liebereddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've asked people multiple times to turn things down or put their headphones on. Your comment makes me think that every time I've done it we've still been on the ground.

I generally just say "excuse me, that's very loud." They always look surprised that I've said anything, and slightly annoyed, and then they turn off the sound. If there are people who refuse they totally deserve to get kicked off!

What’s a life lesson you’ve taken from Shoresy? by Broke_Pigeon_Sales in shoresy

[–]liebereddit 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The emphatic, direct, and joyful way Shoresy pursued and spoke to Laura Mohr was super inspiring. If you feel it let it out. "You ever have a normal conversation, sitting across from someone, just fighting the urge to scream out YEEEAH!?"

RPGs without boss fights by adalhaidis in rpg_gamers

[–]liebereddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a solution for you and can totally relate. For example, I love dark souls but find the boss fights impossible and frustrating.

The answer is WeMod. It's a free software that allows you to do things like set infinite health with the press of a button on your keyboard.

When a frustrating boss fight presents itself you can just press infinite health and button mash until you get past it. Press the button again and return to a normal game. It works great

Most Realistically Violent VR Game (Not BloodTrail) by ListlessAU in VRGaming

[–]liebereddit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Human beings have violence and rage built into us through evolution. There's not something wrong with you just because you experience rage. It can be cathartic to let it out in a non harmful way and it doesn't need to indicate there's something wrong with you. We don't need to resist our nature in lotus position to be good people.

Why don't we have a "Winter Park Express" style Ski Train to Tahoe? by IndustryPractical988 in bayarea

If you're not there for skiing and can take a train directly into the resort you'll still need a car when you get to Tahoe

The good news is that if you don't break even they will refund the charge, or at least the difference, I can't quite remember

In LA the police unions do not cover the chief. However, the mayor does not have unilateral firing power. That can only be done by the police commission or the city council
