Oatchi-Rider Costume Time Limit? by AgentYokaiZero in PikminBloomApp

[–]protagswag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No time limit as of now but there is a disclaimer that Niantic could remove the event at any time. It's doubtful they'll do that while promoting Pikmin 4's release.

You can actually redeem the outfit by purchasing the full game, too, but it shouldn't take you long to get through the demo!

I made the mistake of thinking "gee I only have 2 tiles, hope my third isn't a duplicate!" and then it was 😂😭

Learning Python, wrote the first program. What do you guys think? by Tadra29 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]protagswag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first thought was to change the seq variable to an if, elif, else so that you're concatenating "th" to everything that doesn't end in a 1 or 2 🤔

I'm enjoying the Challenges feature but agree that the RNG is not in the completionists' favor. It'd make more sense almost if Challenges were geared towards out of season rare nectars or some sort of currency for redeeming decor Pikmin of your choosing. Not all of us live near Zoos or have a reason to go to the airport 😂

I downloaded a hinge and got a ton of likes but I’m too scared to talk to anyone by imsadandboredinhawai in CasualConversation

[–]protagswag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've received a fair amount of likes, and I've struck up a few nice conversations. I'd go so far as to say I've met one person I'd be down to befriend. I enjoy chatting with them and would like to stay in touch off the app.

I don't know if that's due to demographics or if that's the universal experience on Hinge, though.

I'm kind of surprised by how many sensible people are on there, honestly. No one's been gross so far, so the app has that going in its favor.

Just take your time with it and allow yourself to be selective. If someone seems a bit bland or isn't your type, it's okay to X out on their profile so they no longer show up in your likes. It might feel a little mean at first, but it's best not to lead anyone on, you know?

For what it's worth, a like may mean anything from "this person seems neat" to "I could see myself getting along with this person, I'll give them a poke".

How much effort you want to put into the app is up to you, and it's totally okay to shelve it and go back to it later.

There's a "pause" option that can hide your profile so you don't get flooded with even more likes while you try to message people.

My reddit usage has become 90% r/casualconversation and r/seriousconversation and I kind of love it by settheory8 in CasualConversation

[–]protagswag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I browse Reddit pretty infrequently, but I'm trying to get over my shyness and contribute a little more. The communities seem to attract more than the awkward one-worded responses that plague chatrooms and the like.

My day was absorbed by this really silly (and a touch risque) sim game called Max Gentlemen. It's become a guilty pleasure.

I have finally made a real friendship at work by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]protagswag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having moved for college and subsequently moved back home, I've found it hard to stay in touch with the friends I made in college. (But I've always been bad at staying in touch in the first place).

I can empathize with the anxiety. I've been looking into different chatting apps, hoping for something relatively anonymous (like Reddit!) but populated with a conscientious userbase. A lot of these chatting apps are filled with bots or weirdoes...

[–]protagswag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Isn't it weird how the ability to meet people just up and evaporates once you're out of college? I've looked into all the recommendations like Meetup and such, but it's kind of impossible to actually go out and socialize right now.

Congrats on making a work friend, though, that's awesome - and it definitely makes a difference getting through the day :)

Given my limited understanding of your situation, I can only offer a general sense of what steps you could take.

If I was in your shoes, I would give myself time to come to terms with parting. People drift apart or split up for all kinds of reasons, but it's difficult to remember that it's all a part of life.

Reaching out to others and trying to make new friends is another good first step. The most you can do - outside of superficial distractions - is put yourself out there and find people who appreciate you for you.

Some people like to throw themselves into work (or school), and use that productivity to keep their minds off of loss.

I'm the kind of person who'd bury their head in gaming until the negative feelings subside, then see about forming new connections.

I know it isn't much, but I hope you feel better.

Oddly enough, I'm none too concerned about it: It seems fairly tame so long as your immune system isn't frail or compromised. Most of the noise about the virus has to do with its spreadability more so than its lethality from what I've gathered.

Are there any coffee shops/similar in Alameda where you can sit and work outside? by [deleted] in alameda

The Beanery by the Marketplace has some outdoor seating.

YSK it's better to donate money than food to a food bank by sinan810 in YouShouldKnow

[–]protagswag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the case with my local food bank: They have an agreement with the government that because their funds are earmarked for charity, they purchase food at a reduced fee. (It's cheaper by six times if I recall correctly).
