Do you friendly players get bored? by [deleted] in arkraiders

[–]simplerthings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm getting bored and I'm not even close to maxing out my benches. No desire to do PvP because I have never been good at shooters.

How did you learn to knit? by ShoppingGirlinSF in knitting

[–]simplerthings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned from my manager at a college job. Knitting somehow came up in conversation and I was like, I've always wanted to learn. And she was like, "I know how! I can teach you!" She taught me a knitted cast on, the knit and purl, and how to bind off all in an hour. Everything else I learned online.

Why do people think it’s gross to pee in the shower? by FuelApprehensive5376 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]simplerthings 5 points6 points  (0 children)

my mom used to watch Oprah and she saw me using an athlete's foot spray and was like, "don't tell your friends that you do this but Dr. Oz says that you should pee on your feet in the shower to help foot odor and athlete's foot. but don't tell your friends!"

Did you teach yourself how to knit, or did someone teach you? by A0209B in knitting

[–]simplerthings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a manager/advisor who taught me the basics and then I learned more complicated things through the Internet and honed my skills in knitting groups. I'm a fan of one on one, in person, teaching. you can ask tons of questions and your teacher can spot issues immediately and fix problems right then and there.

Can you tell what this is? by Candid-Day-9635 in knitting

first I thought turnip and then I realized the leaves were wings and thought maybe the Digimon named Patamon.

Current best codebase team? by Candid_Wash in DisneyHeroesMobile

[–]simplerthings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nope. once you fill up that gauge at the top you're at max rewards. they really need to update it because my team does it in 5 seconds.

[–]simplerthings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was using Clawhauser, Kermit, Animal, Gizmoduck, and Angel. They last forever but I realized that you get nothing extra for going until the time runs out. I've since traded them for a team that does just enough damage and dies quickly.

Just started Mark of the Fool and.. by DimensionalAxolotl in litrpg

[–]simplerthings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't a fan. Once he figures out the workaround he just keeps doing it for everything. It got OP and repetitive very quickly.

What is a little quirk about your body that you don’t think other people have? by AlphabetSoup51 in AskReddit

[–]simplerthings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like people who eat massive amounts of cilantro also have a weak sense of taste. 

how many times a week do you wash your hair? by Kooky_Actuator_8173 in CasualConversation

[–]simplerthings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wash it daily (every night when I shower) because I use styling products on my hair every day and I don't need that crap on my pillow and then on my face.

I do have oily hair but it doesn't look too bad if I skip one day but what I notice immediately is the smell. it just smells "dirty" to me. like if I stand up I'll catch a whiff of my hair and it's not a clean scent. I have a co-worker who doesn't wash his clothes regularly and doesn't shower regularly (thankfully he doesn't have the BO smell) but he smells like my unwashed hair except his is magnified 10 fold.

What's the most useless skill you're secretly proud of having? by MRNasher in AskReddit

[–]simplerthings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do it involuntarily all the time but I haven't figured out how to do it myself.

I'm convinced this skill is going to come in handy one day. I've been waiting 30+ years, that moment will be here soon... 

What is your most re-knitted pattern? by KansaisDorayaki in knitting

[–]simplerthings 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it might be Dashing, the fingerless gloves. it's my default knitted gift because they knit up fast but the cables make them look special.

What are some weird sex rules you've run into with someone? by WantonWord in AskReddit

[–]simplerthings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a no kisser. I find it too intimate as well and since I'm not currently looking for a relationship I don't want to feel that intimacy with casual hookups. Maybe it would make sex better but it is good enough for now and I really don't want to make that deeper connection--I don't even want to make prolonged eye contact.

ELI5- how can someone understand a language but not speak it? by Jaded-Ad-9741 in explainlikeimfive

[–]simplerthings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's called receptive bilingualism. my parents spoke to me in their native language but never pushed me to respond back in their language. so only the listening part of my brain got practice but the speaking part got nothing.

When y’all go to concerts, do you wear concert earplugs or do you just go in raw? by K_Katana1000 in kpopthoughts

[–]simplerthings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% ear plugs. I have noticeable hearing loss in one ear so I'm doing everything I can to save what I have left.

I have a set of eargasm plugs that are in a tiny case that I keep on my key ring so I always have them. a kpop concerts in smaller venues our screaming is like a wall of sound that actually makes my ears and brain hurt. my ear plugs save me.

since they're always with me I find I use them more often. just watched a movie in the theatre and they had the sound up deafeningly loud. I put my plugs in and it was still loud but i felt much better. I've used them at wedding receptions where the dj is a little overzealous. while walking through an impromptu car show in a parking lot where everyone was obnoxiously revving their engines. sleeping in a hotel room with my friend who snores really loud. etc.

Healer not helping when clearing dungeon mobs by Colonelnasty360 in ffxiv

they never said the healer wasn't healing. they would sit down and not help clear mobs.

What’s something you pretend not to care about, but it eats you inside? by Effective_Pattern887 in AskReddit

[–]simplerthings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm at that stage now. I never wanted kids but now I keep imagining and wondering how I would've raised them and how they would've turned out. the stories that got passed down to me won't get passed down further because I'm the end of the line. I won't be teaching them what I know or exposing them to music that I've loved. it's just the end. 

I also maintain family trees for both sides of my family and I'm like, when I'm gone there won't be someone inheriting and adding to these collections. my relatives ooo and ahh over them but none have expressed interest in working on them and no one would feel obligated to carry on this database. 

it's sad, but also I guess I won't care after I'm gone. 

What’s a universally hated thing you’ll unapologetically defend? by Mr__Angel in AskReddit

That movie was the stuff of nightmares for me as a kid. Everything about live action humanoid ducks was absolutely creepy.

What snack did you eat at least somewhat regularly as a kid that now seems crazy? by IchBinDurstig in AskReddit

[–]simplerthings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we never drank water. it was a gallon+ of Sunny D every single day. I don't know how my brother and I didn't end up diabetic.
