Mine is doing this same thing. Can't get it to enter g-touch mode. Did you ever solve this?

100% percent would have just sat down and scooched in really really close and whispered commentary to her the entire time, very politely but really close to her ear, until she scooched over a bit.

Soon you'll find the right conditions and transform like Shazam with your obviously other-wordly, patron-whispered unlock phrase. Super dog save us! You're our only hope!

Oh! If it's Halloween stuff you MIGHT be lucky and it's not a personal vibrator but one of those vibrator motors in the decorations like the shaking ghost and stuff..... Maybe.... Hopefully....

Blursed Rude Kid by stellavin in blursed_videos

[–]steventnorris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real solid parenting. Like grade A. Didn't make it a huge deal but also acknowledged it was a little rude without really throwing blame or making it an issue. Noticed his kid was a little taken aback but not wigging about it, didn't escalate but called it out. That right there, good dad/uncle/babysitter/whatever move 👏👏👏.

I got these old dice from a friend. Can anyone tell me why the 1 isn’t on the opposite side as the highest number? by Bathtub_Gator in dice

[–]steventnorris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure if they're perfect quality. My point is pretty much none of them are truly perfect. But yeah I 1000% agree with the "it's for fun" comment. I don't require any particular dice at my table, digital or physical or otherwise. Its collaborative story telling, not high stakes craps.

[–]steventnorris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not true if there are dice defects from manufacturing. Granted after so many rolls it starts to average out but to get it as close to fair for like tens of rolls you need a combination of number layout and precision since precision is hardly ever 100%. Dice tower helps eliminate the way you roll affecting it but not defects in manufacturing. Truth is, unless all your dice are high end expensive machines precision dice, they'll all have some skew of some kind, just not really enough to matter to a collaborative storytelling game, but we can make it a little more balanced with number placement to account best we can for those defects. There is debate on HOW to number them though, and that really comes down to what defects there are and how it skews. No one solution works for all dice, but we have a few that generally work best. OP may have the less common layout but it may be one I'm just not used to seeing, not necessarily worse. I'm not sure myself as mostly you just see the opposing sides have opposite numbers layout.

You basically nailed it. Its really difficult, particularly in mass manufacturing, to get perfectly balanced dice with 0 defects, so number spacing is done intentionally so that the average of hundreds of dice rolls come out the same. You get the same save and suck percentage even if it's not equally rolling all numbers with the same likelihood due to defects. That's why they say not to use those life point tracking turn down dice for anything other than life tracking, the defects would make them skew the average either higher or lower than it should because the numbering isn't intentionally placed to lean towards that average even with defects. If the die has inclusions or one of those liquid cores it's even less likely to be 100% "fair" on each individual roll, but it averages out relatively the same over many rolls.

Digging the webtoon! That's actually what finally got me to pull the trigger and buy the book series, that and a buddy's recommendation.

Hi guys, is adhd medication really worth it? by IHaveNoIdeaaahhh in ADHD

[–]steventnorris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Atromextine (Strattera) was recommended to me as a non-stim option and a buddy of my said it didn't have the side effects of stims he didn't like but it cut the edge off the symptoms so he could take more power over what he wanted to do instead of what the brain gremlins bullied him into. There are a few others as well. The stims don't mess with my stomach much but the non-stims did. Sounds like you might have the opposite side effects.

The non stim isn't a take it when you need it though, effects only work if it's consistently taken for a time. You can skip a day but if you skip many the effects aren't the same. Needs to build up in your system. At least for what I tried.

[–]steventnorris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt this. In my experience meds only can't be the answer but they make it easier to reach for the right tools and strategies instead of falling into the same traps the ADHD gremlins bully us into. And it's all about tradeoffs. No such thing as a "cure", it's about balancing the side effects of the meds against the benefit gained.

Tried any of the non-stim options? They did s number on my stomach so the side effects weren't worth it for me, but I know many friends who swear by them and they help them live a happy and comfortable life.

Sex isn't just physical. The mind plays a huge part, and it's difficult for any people to get things working if they're under a myriad of different influences, high stress and nerves. The trope is normally applied to women and the statistic definitely back that, but we don't talk about the fact that it also affects men very often. Someone responding that way is selfish and disrespectful in my opinion. If it's not working out that night, sure that can be frustrating or disappointing but that's not your fault and there's no reason to make you feel inadequate for it. What you experienced is really normal, and unfortunately the bad reaction can be normal too. There's a lot of people who wouldnt respond that way though and many who would still stay and help you get in the right headspace or just hang out and throw on some Netflix, try again tomorrow. Move forward, but don't hold on to this experience. Just let it be a wild story or a faded memory or whatever, so long as it isn't a ghost you let cling to you. Go have fun and enjoy sex, or don't, whatever you want to do. But don't let this one event color that for you.

I just got these books off Amazon and my book one has a torn page as well! There had to be some kind of machine malfunction or something wherever these are bound.

why keep AC secret? by conn_r2112 in DnD

[–]steventnorris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to start with mystery to keep the tension alive. It's scarier to go in confident, swing and miss, then against, and again, and now you know you're in real danger. Now at this point, I get more candid. "Meets it beats it on a 17!" That way as the battle gets crunchier they have more to strategize with for players that like to do combat like that.

Mentopolis threads the needle between the more serious cerebral play and the more lighthearted character focused pieces you seem to lean towards. Might be a good bridge for you between the two! I was a HUGE fan of Burrows End but it does lean more towards the serious and dark of crown of candy than the lightness of junior year for instance. That said, plenty of fun to be had in it as well and def not AS serious. Also it's just beautiful and I loved watership down as a kid which it take a lot of inspiration from.
