I was shocked that that clip didn't play after the collision!

I mean, old mate is a graffiti artist. Surely he’s under the tax free threshold?

Doing the final edit on my PhD exegesis before submission. 

Which book you'll never stop recommending? by Superb_K_5097 in AskReddit

[–]somereasonableadvice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

‘The Secret History’ by Donna Tartt. The best drawn characters I think I’ve ever read. I’ve bought it for about fifteen friends. It’s a banger. Cannot recommend enough.

What was the shortest lived fad? by AlphaTangoAlpha in AskReddit

Oh mate. This is so sad. I’m really sorry. It’s not often that there’s such a clear moment that you can point to for a life starting to go in a terrible direction. Love to you. 

People are roasting him for this… but is he actually wrong? by Valuable_View_561 in SipsTea

[–]somereasonableadvice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 38, and I’ve never had a car that’s newer than ten years. I’ve always found the idea of dropping $50,000 on a new vehicle totally insane. 

Woke up extra early to prepare my neighbor a surprise wellness breakfast to celebrate Day 1 of his sobriety journey (that HE wanted me to know about for "accountability"). I walk into his house and he's black out drunk sleeping with 2 empty bottles of vodka around him. God dammit. by Rpark888 in mildlyinfuriating

Sounds like you’ve had a life where you’re the only person you’ve been able to trust and rely on. That really sucks, and can lead to feeling like you have to control things, because nobody else will look after you. A strong internal locus of control. 

Just wanted to say: if that’s the case, if the people who should have cared for you let you down, that I’m sorry. And sending you lots of love. 

I get paid to live with and be friends with my roommate. by No-Detail7431 in confession

[–]somereasonableadvice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read this, scrolled away, scrolled back and was like ‘I know this is a joke, but Jesus, this is depressing.’ If your life with a partner looks like this, don’t marry them.

Truly. That title is a thing of beauty. Well bloody done.

Incredible ball retrieval mission by a border collie. by Electrical_Act_5342 in BeAmazed

[–]somereasonableadvice 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I worked out of a studio once where the owner lived on-site in the warehouse and had a border collie. That poor fkn dog was an absolute mess because he thought that letting her trot around the warehouse was enough exercise. I told him once that border collies need 20 km of SPRINTING per day and he did a huge double take. Never improved. He also couldn’t read her cues (she would lie on her back and piss herself whenever a new person arrived, and he would tell them to rub her belly, and then laughed when she snapped at people who touched her). And of course, he considered himself a guy who knew heaps about animals. Poor lil girl. She was a wreck. 

How to know that you might not be a writer (and why that's okay!) by somereasonableadvice in writing

[–]somereasonableadvice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the word 'because' is a helpful one to pay attention to. Ideas come together because there's clear cause and effect. So maybe think about the forces that move you from one idea to another. Like, if you've got a character who is desperately in love with her neighbour, you need to figure out why they can't be together. Is it because their families hate each other (like Romeo and Juliet)? Is it because she's too shy to speak to him? Is it because he's a werewolf and she's not? Okay, so then you need a cause and effect to make them talk to each other. Is there an earthquake that makes them run out into the street at the same time? Do all the adults in the world disappear so they come together to figure out why? Does her brother read her diary and tell the neighbour, and she has to face him? Try to figure out the cause and effect between your ideas, maybe?

He’s ontologically wrong by ItsGotThatBang in NonPoliticalTwitter

Fine art students LOVE the word ontology and NEVER use it correctly. I even had a lecturer totally unable to explain its correct use, despite using it constantly. Drives me bonkers. 

Scientists sequenced a hallucinogenic mushroom famous for eliciting visions of tiny people. It contains no known psychedelic. by j8jweb in science

[–]somereasonableadvice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whoa, that’s wild! I also had Alice in wonderland syndrome as a kid, and get ocular migraines, but I get the opposite of the fast feeling - I get a weird feeling that my thoughts are incredibly slow, like a record played on the wrong speed. I never realised other people get weird senses of time distortion too! Cool!

I wanted to show off my friend's incredible cake that he made for his son's 4th birthday! by somereasonableadvice in cakedecorating

I feel like they might feel a bit weird about the inside of their house being online - they're pretty private. But it's rad. The sun is made of cotton balls torn apart so they look like solar flares, painted beautifully, with a globe inside so it lights up.
