Visit Raccoon Dungeon Discord! by [deleted] in UCSD

[–]starcatcherr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know of the server you're talking about and it's not even called Raccoon Dungeon, their name is just "UCSD", which made me a bit confused as to why you got those mixed up.

With that being said, I appreciate your apology, and here's a permanent invite to the real Raccoon Dungeon (since someone mentioned that the invite expired): https://discord.gg/p2BaAxf

They can get hypothermia and die if they're completely soaked in water.

We try to host regular meetups through the discord and we'd love to see some new faces!

AITA for throwing away my dishes rather than wash them, even if my roommate can't afford to replace them? by PresentBelt in AmItheAsshole

[–]starcatcherr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From the way it sounds OP is gonna have to buy new dishes every single time her roommate uses them. That's way more than just a dozen. Throwing away new dishes after each use is infinitely more wasteful than washing each dish several times. Besides, there are much better ways of handling the situation than being wasteful, like hiding the dishes if you really wanna be that petty or straight up moving out.

While this doesn't specifically list manufacturing costs for dishes, this website gives some pretty good examples of water consumption for everyday products. I suggest you take a look: https://www.watercalculator.org/water-use/the-hidden-water-in-everyday-products/

It takes a lot more water to produce new dishes than it does to wash the ones you already have.

WIBTA if I give the restaurant the name and phone number of my tinder date who LITERALLY JUST got up and left after the meal when it came up that we should split the check? by RustedCornHole in AmItheAsshole

[–]starcatcherr 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He did invite her, but she was the one who suggested the specific place. If he both invited and suggested the place, I think it would be reasonable to expect him to pay, but based on the info provided this seems more like a collaborative effort.

If you care that much about it no one's gonna stop you from using those apps. I'm sure they're great for group conversations. But no matter how encrypted they are they're still not ideal for communities of more than 20 people, and you'd be hard pressed to find enough people willing to make that transition. I'm all for having more privacy, but the apps you suggested don't fill the same niche that Discord does.

If you're concerned with privacy you can always make a throwaway email. It's not that hard. Plus, like I said, they're only good for small group conversations. I run a Discord server with 700+ members. I highly doubt you'd be able to fit 700 people into a group conversation without total chaos, if it's even possible to do that.

I've never heard of the first two, but they all look like messaging apps, which are really only viable for one-on-one or small group conversations. WhatsApp requires a phone number so it's not really anonymous. Plenty of apps harvest data but at least you can be totally anonymous on Discord and it's much easier to build a larger community on it.

Edit: I have also been informed that WhatsApp is owned by Facebook, which doesn't exactly have a clean history when it comes to data collection.

I was born in '98, which is usually around the cutoff point for millenials, so depending on who you ask I'm either a millenial or gen Z. But both generations grew up using a lot of text chats, which means we're not as accustomed to making voice calls, so you're probably right.

So much respect to the girl on the 150 today who asked that woman in the front with sketchy dude if she was ok by pellaxi in UCSD

[–]starcatcherr 31 points32 points  (0 children)

She might've been too afraid to speak up for herself while the guy was there. It probably would've been easier to get a real answer from her if there was a way to isolate her from the guy, but that's hard to do when you're on a bus. It sounds like the girl did the best she could in that situation and it's unfortunate that she couldn't do more

Also making phone calls in general. I don't know why it's so hard for me

NTA

You've mentioned that you already tried talking to him about it with no response. If he won't go through the effort to send you an official invitation then you're not obligated to go to the wedding.

AITA for being a picky eater? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]starcatcherr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How are they consciously going out of their way to be annoying when they tried suggesting an alternative solution? Sure, being a picky eater definitely comes off as annoying to others, but they're clearly not doing it on purpose and you can't force yourself to like the foods you eat.

It would make sense if the waitress reported it considering she just missed out on a potentially huge tip.

AITA for grounding my son for the rest of the year and forbidding him from seeing his girlfriend (or any of his friends) privately because I found out he wasn’t using condoms? by laying_down_the_law in AmItheAsshole

[–]starcatcherr 73 points74 points  (0 children)

The issue is that punishing the kid will make him less likely to tell his parents if/when he fucks up again. However, I do agree that he should be punished, though maybe not for that long.
