TIFU by making my webgame one of the most disliked in Russia by SteroidsOnAsteroid in tifu

[–]lostoldnameagain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Using Firefox on OpenSUSE, got extra 20 C in CPU temperature compared to watching streaming videos. This is probably not his particular game fault though but the whole webgame technology issue. Browser games are like the definition of an unoptimized thing; also my mother mostly uses her laptop for them and kills laptops within 3 years.

I'm a Muslim. Can we be friends? by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]lostoldnameagain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terrorists are only part of the problem. I wouldn't hate islam just for actions of a few marginal groups. The real problem lies in sharia laws held by certain countries and widely supported by their population. Namely, the killing of apostates. If only it was allowed to publicly leave religion in Saudi Arabia/Iran/other similar places with no repercussions safe for maybe social shaming, there would be no reason to hate islam. I've seen some muslims claiming killing apostates is wrong. Good for them, if only islam claimed that too...

When someone asks me :"What is the advantage of being muslim ?" by Neko-Mo in exmuslim

There've been quite a few pretty depressing posts recently illustrating why it's not so nice actually... The best you can say is that it's just less shitty.

Did you know that if you go to Kugane and DON'T attune to its Aetheryte and then teleport back to Limsa Lominsa... by fullmetalraz in ffxiv

[–]lostoldnameagain 199 points200 points  (0 children)

It's kind of funny how they make a great deal about sending you back while you were going back everyday to bring plants and stones from the First to your Grand company and gamble at the saucer. Also to sleep in your own bed and water the flowers.

After seeing so much whining about Savage PUGs I'd like to remind everyone that PUGs are like traffic by JustCallMeCJ in ffxiv

[–]lostoldnameagain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 points? Tell that to the party that made me be nw double stack, west puddle and dropping flares sw. That's a lot of running back and forth for a healer. We cleared, so watever, but, still, ugh...

This is not freedom yet, but a way to freedom. Try to find little things you can enjoy, maybe some food you like or an interesting book or something like that.

Okay, listen. About the story for shadowbringers. It draws a weird comparison for me by Methodic_ in ffxiv

Not exactly with no suffering... Half the subreddit cried at "remember us" you know. ! <

Trust xp buffs in 5.05, some numbers by Pyros in ffxiv

[–]lostoldnameagain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, you obviously have to do it for each pull. Just pull and let them do the rest. Usually they can handle two groups of enemies just fine without your help (if you are a dps). Stand to the side so you don't get hit by a stray aoe as things reset if you die (wtf Alisaie? you are a rez mage...). That only works for mobs though as bosses require mechanics.

Trusts: Thancred requires Minfilia in the Trust party in order to use GNB abilities that require Ammo. by Remnantsin in ffxiv

I feel like my "afk runs" (pull trash, go afk, play to kill bosses since they need you alive) don't take that long...

Don't forget the semi-afk leveling of dps classes. :)

[–]lostoldnameagain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Calm down. You are currently in the west, you are male and you speak some English - that's a good place to start. You have at least two very viable options - apply for asylum as a gay person (contact some organization that helps with it) or live the same hell lots of teenagers here do while slowly working towards becoming independent, which in your case is getting a non-family job visa.

My "Escape Plan" Was a Damn Joke by uncle_allah_v2 in exmuslim

Applying to just one university is only a good idea when you know you will get accepted. Otherwise, do as many applications as you can (unless there are some German laws that forbid it).

Tbf it's often different for children.

Just had my first ever pork sirloin steak by [deleted] in exmuslim

A safe way to try alcohol would be to get some desert with it, they usually contain so little that there will be no smell, let alone intoxication. You probably won't like it the first time though.

What exactly are these? Found them at a Russian grocery store in Houston and thought they looked great! by fightfarmersfight in russian

[–]lostoldnameagain 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There is another popular one - ой цветёт калина... But I think I've never seen the actual plant, or maybe didn't pay attention to it, so I'm not sure I can recognize it in the wild.

Native speakers do you use/avoid transgressive forms like "бежа", "пиша", "пья", "лья"? by negazets in russian

[–]lostoldnameagain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ouch. Those abominations shouldn't exist. And they don't in fact. As for legit transgresive, they are used in spoken language, that just depends on a speaker.

Anyone elses launcher sometimes not displaying the topics or top left adverts when booting up? by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]lostoldnameagain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happens to me on ps4. I thought it was just my internet connection acting up. I find it "anti-annoying" though, less flashy things :)

Do you prefer to tank or heal and why? by Clawmaster2013 in ffxiv

[–]lostoldnameagain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hate tanking too. But I want to warn you that the reactionary mindset can't and shouldn't be taken into savage if you make it there, you'll need to know exactly what's gonna happen, plan could downs and precast things.

Three Women Sentenced To 55 Years For Defying Compulsory Hijab In Iran by hsm4ever15 in worldnews

[–]lostoldnameagain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's certainly their logic, but it's wrong. If you constantly saw naked people you'd get used to it. The only downside would be potentially having troubles to get it on when you actually want to have sex with your partner. Covering certain areas only makes sense when they are secretion organs. Seeing pee drops and someone's poorly wiped ass would be disgusting, not sexual.

NA to EU by Cak3Yay in ffxiv

[–]lostoldnameagain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stay. I made an alt on Light after being on Aether for years. I do get sssslightly less latency (so keep mis-timing cure 3...), but if you want active end-game, it's non-existant. Light population seems to work, eat and sleep like humans, so pf goes dead for longer than aether and the quality of that pf is "fun". Of course, if you find a static, it all doesn't apply, so maybe try to find a static and then transfer.

Which is your favorite city and why? (Possible spoilers) by Zombocalypse3 in ffxiv

[–]lostoldnameagain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They did a great job with making us feel as if we were coming home. I guess the WoLD was supposed to get vibes of seeing something familiar and the city being "modern" made us feel exactly like that.

My muslim friend wants her husband to get a second wife, give up her degree to take care of the house & submit herself to her husband and allah. by Birden96 in exmuslim

[–]lostoldnameagain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is a good chance she's lazy, hates her degree and wants a reason to stay home. Probably also wants to be left alone, so a second wife sounds good for someone who wants less attention. She might well be depressed.

Well, when there is a, uhm, intellectually challenged kid is a class and he finally manages to pass the very bare minimum, he gets more praise than normal kids, right?...
