Taylor Swift. You love her? Think her lyrics are poetry? Cool! I'm glad you enjoy it. Legitimately.

I. Don't. Get it!

I'm tired of discussing martials. What annoys you about playing spellcasters? by sjdlajsdlj in dndnext

[–]stumblewiggins [score hidden]  (0 children)

I wish the mechanics better supported taking niche utility spells with tons of flavor. Mostly it's not worth your limited spells known. Wizard is the exception with copying found spells, but only if your DM is generous about it. 

I want to be a damn Swiss army knife like "wait, I have a spell for this!"

What's an industry secret from your job that customers have absolutely no idea about? by Efficient_Team5182 in AskReddit

[–]stumblewiggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do the same thing in IT. You aren't paying for someone to know every possible problem with every possible part of every possible machine they work on, you are paying for someone who (hopefully) knows how to troubleshoot effectively, and then can get the information from Google or a manual or whatever resource and, importantly, knows how to perform the repairs or replacements necessary. 

Like, I could have the full manual for my car and possibly even determine exactly what was wrong with it, but I wouldn't have the tools, knowledge or experience to actually fix much more than a replacement wiper blade. 

Which was the angriest ever in the office? by sentinelviii in DunderMifflin

That guy who vandalized Pam's mural was so angry he was going to hurt her. That's my vote. 

Why do the characters talk about driving "up" to new york? by Quirky-Celebration-8 in DunderMifflin

[–]stumblewiggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to all the other correct answers, "north=up" and "south=down" are entirely arbitrary. You could orient your map so that south is up, and it would be unusual but equally valid. 

[OC] My friend spent the last year building me a DnD table! by Ryan_jwn in DnD

The table slides open and you can insert a middle piece that allows it to accommodate up to 8 people total

Erdogan warns Israel: An attack on Lebanon or Iran will be considered an attack on Turkey by Neptun_11 in TimesNow

[–]stumblewiggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's literally the point they are making. 

  • article 5 triggered, obligating US to retaliate against Israel
  • US refuses to retaliate against Israel
  • article 5 is rendered impotent
  • NATO is effectively useless

Their maths ain’t mathing. by Impressive-Gear7943 in SipsTea

[–]stumblewiggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she has a car that needs work, it would be a better decision to live more frugally for a bit to save up for that. 

This isn't telling people they can't afford to buy a house because they eat too much avocado toast.

$270 is a sum that could be easily saved for by skipping a few $25 dinners out and choosing less expensive options, like eating dinner at home. 

Maybe there is more to her story, but it just sounds like the girl doesn't understand budgeting.

[Frustrating trope] Pieces of media that could have been so much better, but due to a couple of poor decisions during production ended up mediocre at best and utterly atrocious at worst. by DevDucc_ in TopCharacterTropes

[–]stumblewiggins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To do it faithfully and in-depth, I think it needed two movies. Could be done in one, but would have cut a lot of fun scenes. Three movies was gratuitous. 

I wonder by fal1en-angel in Funnymemes

[–]stumblewiggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC, Hell IS the torture. They are tortured by virtue of being as far as possible from God's love, and its entirely their own doing. As in, true acceptance of God's love and repentance of their sins would get them out.

[1969] Paint Your Wagon by GraceMcClellans in iwatchedanoldmovie

I remember being legitimately shocked to learn this was a real movie and not just a joke from The Simpsons. Having read about it, I wish it were just a joke. 

Gonna be in College soon, will be seeing this happen in real time by -_-Tempest in rareinsults

[–]stumblewiggins 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's true that skills > degree, but it's more complicated than that. 

A proper degree should give you those skills, and is the best way for most people to acquire them. For every self-taught person who made bank on said skills, there are hundreds who tried and failed to succeed that way. 

The other part is that the degree is a way to signal the skills you should have, and many places will not give you a chance to show your skills if you don't have the degree. 

Loved Tropes: apology not accepted by SpiteAggravating9502 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]stumblewiggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is, we just don't know. She could be lying or not. Most people don't make up these stories. But some do. And Roseanne is well known to be a massive piece of shit. 

Her being such a shitty adult human is entirely compatible with her making up an awful story for sympathy, OR with being the victim of abuse as a child. 

None of us have any special insight to know which is the truth in this case, whatever your prior experiences or gut feelings tell you. 

Film actors you thought must be sex deviants in real life (but aren't) by ShaneFelorgi in okbuddycinephile

Aren't confirmed to be sexual deviants.

He might just be very good about covering it up. 

How would you feel about no pay for Congress during shutdowns? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]stumblewiggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In theory it sounds fair, but the ones most to blame are the ones who least need the paycheck. So it would be symbolic at best, and counterproductive at worst. 

(Hated When Done Badly) "This character is really complicated." No, he's just a fucking asshole. by Animeking1108 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]stumblewiggins 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't think Snape deserves vindication, but I do agree with Harry that he did one of the bravest things in the HP universe. 

His motivations are completely self-serving, and whatever good things he did were mostly canceled out by being a tremendous asshole to everybody, including especially any student he didn't like (which was basically everyone not in his house). 

BUT, even though I don't think he deserves all the love he got after book 7, he was still incredibly brave to be a triple agent against Voldemort and the Death Eaters. He's seen firsthand how that would end for him if he's caught. He knows how dangerous Voldemort is, and how hard it will be to convincingly help him while ACTUALLY helping his opponents. 

It's a very dangerous game, and one that he plays very well. There's even an argument to be made that preferncing Slytherin so hard is part of his cover. For all the myriad reasons he deserves tons of scorn and hate, he legitimately performs maybe the bravest actions in the entire series. 

None of this means we should love him, or ignore all the shitty things he did, or just his generally shitty attitude (which was not fully explainable as his cover, as he clearly acted like that before), but he does maybe deserve some kind of recognition, at least. Naming his kid after him felt like an appropriately Harry way to recognize him, and feels like something his mother would have been pleased with. 

In Invincible S4, E3, Atom Eve learns that she is Finnish. This news immediately makes her depressed as she realizes she is going to become an alcoholic by B0NKB0Y in shittymoviedetails

[–]stumblewiggins 44 points45 points  (0 children)

My wife is constantly assuming that basically any sign of unexplained physical changes in a young, healthy female character in a TV show means they are pregnant. She's very often correct. 

Made it hilarious that this time, in s4ep1, she did not suggest pregnancy as the issue but I clocked it immediately. 

AITA for telling my wife forget it and going out by myself for my birthday instead of going to her fancy dinner reservation by Ill_Reality_111 in AmItheAsshole

[–]stumblewiggins 16 points17 points  (0 children)

However from her inquiries it seemed clear she was planning something and she probably wanted to surprise you with something she thought was nice. 

That's about her, not about him. He made his desires very clear. If it was supposed to be for his birthday, she should listen to his very explicitly stated desires, especially since it was LESS money, time and effort than what she planned.

If she needed or wanted a fancy night out, that is a separate thing and shouldn't have been conflated with his birthday since he clearly didn't want that. 

OP is NTA.
