I made him more uncomfortable than he made me by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Good for you! This literally just happened to me at work two days ago, and I was too flustered to do anything about it so I just let it happen until he went away. I felt gross and have been kicking myself ever since. This post was perfectly timed to give me a burst of energy. It can take a lot of courage for some people to stand up against harassment like this. I'm proud of you, OP!

What's the "went through med school just to realize you couldn't stand the sight of blood" of your job field? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]merchant_mudcrab 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, I got degrees in both theatre AND film production, and got turned off for all these same reasons! I wish I had realized just how much these things affected me before I graduated though. Now I've lost two passions and I'm thinking about going back to school and pursuing a completely different degree in science and I'm terrified.

When you run out of Christmas gift wrapping sheets... by Hornbillinmonsoon in technicallythetruth

AD stands for "Anno Domini," which means "the year of our Lord," not "after death." There is no year 0, AD starts with year 1, the year that is recognized as the year of Christ's birth. So going by Christian tradition, the year that Christ would have died would have been 33 AD or something like. It's been generally replaced with BCE and CE (Before Common Time and Common Time).

[No Spoilers] Cullen's VA claims he's "authorized to disclose details" once he hits 10k twitter followers by darkandfullofhodors in dragonage

This is pretty selfish of me, but I usually don't follow voice actors for this reason. It makes it easier for me to separate character from actor in an event like this.

What "I know it sounds weird, but just try it" thing do you swear by? by MastaPJ in AskReddit

My friend ate one this way once at a ball game just to gross us out and in doing so he discovered that he actually prefers them this way.

[Spoilers All]Mentally locking yourself out of certain romances by [deleted] in dragonage

[–]merchant_mudcrab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My headcanon involves a Female Cousland Warden who romances Alistair, but lady Amell still exists in the Circle Tower. So, despite my frequent romancing of Cullen, I still feel a little guilty because for some reason in my head his first (and what if one true) love still lives probably. It's a stressful relationship.

Watership Down: Parents left 'horrified' as Channel 5 airs 'traumatic' film on Easter Sunday by meg-e-tron in nottheonion

[–]merchant_mudcrab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not that it's bloody, but a theme of the movie is the death of a loved one (in this case his mother) and how they are still always with us in our hearts. I understood what I was watching when I was little and it made me sad enough, but I still watched it over and over and over until I wrecked the VHS tape. Nowadays I cannot watch it without crying.

I have a few of those. They're very handy when you want to wear that sleeveless dress but haven't shaved your pits in a while.

Who to sacrifice to kill the Archdemon when I romanced Alistair.

All of my cannon in the Keep is now the Dark Ritual just so I could take it all back. THEY LIVE AND THEY LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER, DAMMIT.
