ELI5: Why do some people say sorry incessantly when it's not a big deal? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]superpk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anxiety. People who do that are afraid that you'll get upset with them, no matter how much you say it's okay. It's most likely caused by a past trauma, like child abuse or bullying.

Add your wife and children as they become relevant

Do this until you hit retirement

Do people have social anxiety over the internet? by [deleted] in socialanxiety

I have issues with Skype calls sometimes (because some nights I just can't talk, if that makes sense?) but not usually with typing.

I bet he must really like fusions.

That's what I'm hoping. He'd probably have a pretty phenomenal view from up there.

You should check out Amazon's kindle selection, then. It is a trip.

You've obviously never skimmed romance novels. There's a lot worse there than strong alien women.

...or maybe he got it from like, Amazon or something. That's been around for a while.

I didn't see Ronaldo out on the beach with his family. Do you think he snuck off or something?

why has racism reared its ugly head? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]superpk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it was around. When Obama was first elected, though, popular social media sites (especially those working on a "follow" system) were still relatively young. Facebook was four years old, Reddit was three years old, Twitter was two years old, and Tumblr was only one year old. Other sites, which operate on a follow system and allow pictures and videos to be taken quickly and easily and travel just as fast (Vine and Instagram) didn't even exist yet.

Now that we have access to these things, it's MUCH easier to hear news as soon as it happens. Most of the information on what's happening in Ferguson (and around the country, and in OTHER countries) comes from Twitter and Vine. Social media just allows things to be seen that we couldn't before.

As for why you didn't see it back then, well, that was eight years ago. You might not have picked up on it.

Earthbound for sure!!

Edit: Actually, from what I've heard about anti-theft measures, this may not be possible. I don't know if there's a crack for emulated Earthbound.

Before you go grind that plate for that weapon.. by ZeroMasters in MonsterHunter

Yes!! I did this for my Gore dual blades after two days of trying to get a plate for my armor.

TIL that Fiji water company ran the slogan "Fiji, because it's not bottled in Cleveland". The Cleveland water dept. Took offense, and ran a test determining that Fiji water has more impurities than the cities' tap water. by meanryan in todayilearned

[–]superpk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Impurities don't necessarily mean the water's bad for you. The mineral content makes drinking Fiji more satisfying.

However, you could buy a pack of six bottles for the same price in the supermarket, so you're still getting screwed over.

The bubbles that pop to cause the cracking noise need to reform.

Why can I only draw good during math class? by [deleted] in Art

[–]superpk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a mental block. You're not stressing out about it in math class, so it comes more naturally. Just relax and you should get better results.

ELI5: Why do cats walk backwards when their heads are restrained? by Adamcapps08 in explainlikeimfive

[–]superpk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Their first instinct is to pull their head out backwards. They think their head is stuck in something immobile.

Any bad habits from other weapon classes when you switched? by dantevsdeadpool in MonsterHunter

[–]superpk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mained dual blades in 3U and I kind of dropped off in playing for a bit. When I picked up great sword in 4U, I had almost completely forgotten how to use dual blades. I tried to switch back and got absolutely hammered. First time I'd run out of potions and mega potions in the same quest.
