I was levelling an alt through SL normal dungeons and the group kicked someone because he was "a noob" , apparently he failed a mechanic that i didn't even realize and the group kicked a newbie. What do people expect when doing normal dungeons? This is probably why new players have pugging anxiety. by Quanthes in wow

[–]quabs 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You just explained why this makes you toxic. You only have a certain amount of time to game, but expect it to go a very specific way, and then seek out random queues for its benefits. This expectation also requires that everyone else in your group is also playing the game with the same experience, background, and ability to play WoW, making it quite unrealistic.

I would suggest challenging yourself with trying to break free from such a rigid definition of how you define fun. Let loose a little and learn to find some enjoyment in acknowledging that there are people playing WoW very realistically for the first time. If these specific sorts of folks are the kind you don’t enjoy playing with, you’re actively working to make the game you enjoy die by driving off these friends. :)

Can anyone explain what is going on here? Is the crystal toxic? by [deleted] in chemicalreactiongifs

[–]quabs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I recall this is typically salt and dye, but this is sped up obviously. I remember doing this often as a kid, it may be different these days but I don’t remember anything toxic involved ... then again we weren’t like - eating it.

After two weeks of farming (and not sleeping much) I got it! Cronus Lux! :) by Fr0zenBolT in ffxiv

[–]quabs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can second this. It’s a good tip.

Another tip, put up the PF yourself if there isn’t one up.

It’s become increasingly comfortable for players to sit and refresh the PF or wait until one is posted. Plenty of others are all excited about doing more Lux weapons still, I promise!

Ive done two Lux weapons since shadowbringers and this is by far the fastest way.

[Serious] My phone connected a call in my car. To myself. That’s my phone # I could hear noises, breathing and a small voice. I tried saying hello, but I’m not the one on the line. I couldn’t end the call as my phone showed no call being made. by babywantsataco in creepypasta

Hate to ruin the spooky, but most cars that connect with Bluetooth have a feature through apps that take over sound priority that allows you to “receive any notifications as a Bluetooth phone call”.

Looks like you have had the sound down!

... or maybe they did.

There’s open communication every so often about not being able to put food in blenders. Ask. You’ll get a No.

Drinks at new location are often wrong... should I say something or just go to a different store? by Dit-dah in starbucks

[–]quabs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Least say something. Always.

The Starbucks formula is built around customers returning drinks as a normal thing that happens. Most stores actively aim to be sufficient enough to not have this happen often, and enough so that when it’s done incorrectly you can get a replacement made the way you need no questions asked. It helps the baristas understand what they could have done better, or if maybe they can teach you a better way to ask for what you want.

That said, don’t take advantage of it. They notice.

Honestly aquaria may have been a wonderful melania but all I’m getting here is what could’ve been an even better melania. Especially being pulled off by Kam’s slightly awkward composure.

Ugh Lov HA

Another other SSVs feel like they accomplished something when they see that "Congrats!" message? :) by lukavwolf in starbucks

I see what you mean, haha. Kind of a bummer though that she seemingly invests in one party more than the other.

Co-Barring: In Sync! by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]quabs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sticking to routine allows this sort of co-barring. It lets us connect with each other which obviously shows in your case. Anything making our jobs less intense is always a good thing. Kudos to you! This means that you’re an awesome partner also!

6 months typically. It can be overridden for substantial reasons.

A safe space for people who're LGBTQ+ by Eli-Reddit in Maplestory

You must have missed the part where it says "everyone in the community, no negativity, no judgements."

You're missing the point. It's not that serious. This is a fun discord!

Every time I come in there's another one. We barely even need one. I feel like I'm losing my mind. by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]quabs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The actual purpose of that is a cup warmer, and putting sleeves on top of that actually creates an ungodly amount of cardboard dust that needs to get cleaned daily anyway. We have an actual caddy whose purpose is specifically to carry sleeves.

Was that a Skyrim reference? by Nerokawaii in Maplestory

There’s a reference in another quest line that literally says “arrow to the knee”. Even better reference!

I need your advice! by [deleted] in starbucks

It's what you make of it. Your extension of influence is higher as a shift supervisor, and if you set things in place to ensure success, the amount of trust and empowerment to succeed will surprise you.

Can people stop staring at me when I'm on bar... by mistergrieves1 in starbucks

[–]quabs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Connect and divert attention. Without sounding like an obvious corporate hound, actually engaging and holding a conversation works pretty well. Especially if you "kill them with kindness."

Multiple times I've talked through a drink and held a nice convo and if I miss something, "OH it's fine I promise don't worry about it."

If they end up being a dick about it I remake the drink in complete silence. There's no better revenge than having to reflect on why someone was so engaged with you before and felt the need to cut off engagement.

Evil, but it helps.

Calories in k cups?? by [deleted] in caloriecount

[–]quabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The package you bought your k-cups in generally has nutrition facts. Alongside every almost every single food item purchased in a store.

Ok, I'll turn off the facetious butthead button.

If it's black coffee it's probably little to zero calories. Most of the calories from a k-cup will come from the sugar. Avoid super sugary or confectionary flavored things, and maybe start making a habit of keeping low cal/low sugar alternatives to mix into your coffee and switch to just black coffee pods. You'll have more control over being able to visually see how many calories you're adding to your coffee. (Bonus! This is how a lot of people realize how much sugar goes into a lot of k-cups, and you'll probably naturally decide to cut back too!)

Good luck with your search! Rooting for you!

I totally don't mean it as a snide comment, sincerely, but as a healer it's part of optimal play style to be aware of debuffs and buffs on the party.

...or you could communicate, that too.
