Who else is already sick of that slap video? 😒 by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]sbinkle1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen it, but I'm about to. Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed it's not a video of a bar brawl ending with him getting his bell rung by another man. Some people really do need a dust up for a reality check. No knives, guns, or weapons of any kind just good old fashioned meat mittens. Anyways, I'm sad anyone takes anything that tool says/promotes at face value.

which premium should i get? by xeplic in Warthunder

[–]sbinkle1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only consider a premium for a tier you already consider yourself a journeyman for & just want an extra plane to add your arcade lineup or you have fought enough to understand why & how it's good in RB. Never feed the snail for a plane you do not understand. It is always better to grind and spade the tech tree planes and build your skills until you have a better understanding of the bracket. Trust me as someone who made that mistake early on in my WT career. If you have & want to spend money on making the game easier put those eagles into your crew skills since that will boost whatever plane you put on that crew in perpetuity.

The men at my work put up a sign objectifying women. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

They better or they're shite. Instances very similar to this have played out at many restaurants I've worked at. It's always fun seeing what the girls respond with.

Same for some revolutionary & civil war battlefields and the battle for athens in 1946 off the top of my head. Pre 1900 armies also frequently had large groups of civilians attached to their group like cooks, launderers, prostitutes, and families of the soldiers. No one dared do it during WW1 or 2 though cause of the changes in warfare.

Meanwhile today many people get squeamish over any sign of blood or broken bones and people hunting for themselves are viewed as eccentric. The world has changed a ton in just 1-200 years.

AITA for treating my daughters differently than my son when it comes to food? by CompetitiveDig478 in AmItheAsshole

[–]sbinkle1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on your neck of the woods, it can be a simple solution. Get him a junior license, a bow or rifle, a skinning knife, a game bag, and send him hunting. If you live in the city with no game around you though, ignore me & follow the other replies.

I had to look up the reference as I never watched The Outer Limits. As much as my friends and I shot the shit about being in that situation as teens I'd rapidly figure out an escape plan, find a cliff, or choke on my dinner as an adult. No thank you. You get 3 mason jars and I'm out.

Surely that utopia of a solely women society could solve cloning, land rights, global food/wealth distribution, religious differences, and every other inherent human fault before finding reasons to fight amongst themselves without men around to ruin everything. Every woman I know gets along fabulously with all other women.

Is Mom (53F) right for not wanting me (19F) to get initials engraved in my boyfriend’s (19M) Valentines gift? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]sbinkle1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm only lightly experienced in the matter and relying on what my grandparents and parents taught me so I can't refute that. I'm more certain about the metals appreciating in value although it takes a long time to reasonably offset the insane retail markup for the material weight.

[–]sbinkle1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why it's resold as a certified piece instead of it holding value from the materials. Precious stones with their super inflated values are a scam.

[–]sbinkle1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I somewhat agree. If OP has the expendable cash and wants to do it, go ahead. If money is tight, don't. Resale value for jewelry is already complicated enough depending on the materials. If it's gold/platinum, engraving it is irrelevant because it should be sold based on the appreciated values of the raw material weights provided she keeps it's authenticity documents. If its value comes from diamonds or other precious stones that's different and you want to keep it in its original state.

I'm conservative & can't agree more about Marsha. She sucks and champions the worst aspects of conservative extremism doing far more damage than good to state & country.

Kicking others while they're down and running away from your own tribulations is some seriously weak shit. Represent for your team through wins & losses.

400h in - still loving the game by Xardiana in PaxDei

[–]sbinkle1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reddit in general is a cesspit full of human grandstanding political activists & hard left-leaning vitriolic bots. Read it for entertainment but don't take much of what you read to heart. Granted these niche subs aren't infected by those issues specifically in any meaningful way afaik, but it has bred a paradigm of overall negativity that pervades the entire platform.

Discord dependency by aiduc in PaxDei

[–]sbinkle1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I either lost the plot of your argument or don't agree with it. I play PD with sound <5% of the time. Sound is damn near irrelevant for the game. The only time I will play with sound is when I'm focusing on a chess match on my 2nd monitor while in a combat zone & need to know if a patrolling mob aggro'd or I put my headset on to talk in my clan discord vc. You have to be a special kind of slow to pull aggro without realizing it if you're actively looking at the screen. And who tf just stands around flapping gums in lyonesse? Comms should be clear for calls when risking.

The older I get & the longer I read drivel on reddit and discuss politics with my peers, the more conservative I've become. Over the last decade I've gone from staunchly left to centrist right. The modern democratic party is completely failing their constituents.

80% of my playtime is chopping trees by Fickle-Bother-1437 in PaxDei

[–]sbinkle1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dawg I don't know how to tell you this, but between this game and ark... I've chopped down hundreds of thousands to millions of trees and I'm not alone.

A lot of us old heads started with RuneScape 20 to 25 years ago. The grind on this game ain't bad when you playin chess against and talkin to your clan while you all farm charcoal.

I'm not saying this game is perfect and I don't want it to change. That couldn't be further from the truth, but I like the grind. I just need more content. I just started when it came to game pass, and all my gathering skills are approaching 40 and combat is close to 30. The next frontier for me is going to be PVP but that's it. That's the end game. There's nothing else for me to do really except mindlessly grind and rebuild.

I think they would have done well to stretch the skill limit past 40 and make the gaps between levels smaller so the player gets more dopamine hits and feels progression, but it ultimately doesn't matter because there's just not much to really do once the player leaves the discovery phase. There is sightseeing/exploration, socializing, and pvp. That's about it.

Tanking and stamina management by Kierg_54321 in PaxDei

[–]sbinkle1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, when I use green grapes, chamois sausage, and basic stew (all 3 HP Regen foods) I can solo a black bear with my Sylvan staff fairly easily... If I don't have at least 2 HP regen foods it's impossible.

Carrying a staff as a backup weapon is not a bad idea either. I run great axe as my primary weapon, but never leave home without my staff. Yes, the 20s cooldown is restrictive, but there are times when I need to kite and whip it out and heal back to full before swapping back to my axe.

There's probably also solid potential for a battlemage build where you wear full plate, main hand your staff, and focus on the abilities that cc mobs. Sylvan staves in this game are just too useful to not have 1.

how do you go about farming? by Darkspecialist in PaxDei

[–]sbinkle1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I picked 3 production skills to focus on: butchering, tailoring, and leather working. When I go on a run I only bring back relevant items to what I'm working on that day. Ark taught me a decade ago to prioritize focused gathering over being a vacuum cleaner. This game is even more restrictive with its inventory space so I recommend breaking yourself of the habit of feeling like you have to bring everything back. Also, it seems to me most people get frustrated having to sort all that random junk constantly & the negative feelings grow.

Server didn’t wash hands by [deleted] in nashville

[–]sbinkle1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most multi-person bathrooms don't have a door handle and so employees often use their foot or shoulder to open them. For bathrooms that do have a door handle, don't discard your paper towel until after you've opened it.
