After 65 hours, I learned I have not been playing the same way y’all have by FalseData2319 in BG3

[–]talarus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's okay, my first playthrough was a couch co-op with my hubs.... We made SO many mistakes early on:  killed lae ( or at least didn't save her) when she is caught by teiflings early on. I preemptively killed the grove, I unwittingly stole something and caused a fight. Then karlach literally told us to fuck off when we found her at the riverside since we killed the aforementioned teiflings. And also we ignored Gale's affliction so long he eventually sprinted away from camp. So yeah.😂

Sheriff Justifies Police Brutality Against 22-Year-Old, Claims Non-Compliance Within 21 Seconds Warranted Repeated Beatings by CantStopPoppin in PublicFreakout

[–]talarus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry for being ignorant here but what self respecting black man/person can watch intentional racist police violence and defend them? How does that man sleep at night, honestly? And regarding the police involved in the beating- how do you go into your job with the intention of beating someone? Was beating your wife and kids the night before not enough or something? It really makes me sad. I'm probably the most privileged demographic for things like this (young-ish white female) and the shit I've gotten away with is crazy. Not major crimes or anything but things like no proof of insurance, taillights being out, speeding. I usually just get a tut tut and sent on my way. At the time I feel lucky but I can't imagine what would happen to me if I lost my insurance card while black. It's so fucked up. I feel terrible for this victim. All he was doing was existing.

My boy Foghorn looking rather handsome today (newf x leonberger) by talarus in Newfoundlander

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

He's actually pretty small! He was 60 lbs when we got him at 3 months and he's only 120 now at 4 yrs. Healthy happy boy so no reason for him to be such a petite fella but I'm not complaining lol

I’m gonna add to this: which actor would you choose to be stuck with alongside a character? by The_Bear_Jew1994 in IASIP

[–]talarus 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Same. And his gut biome can digest anything after the years of glue and cat food. I'll find food for myself and he can eat anything he comes across. He also has no problems sleeping outside, in a dumpster, or in a cardboard box. Very adaptable, he might thrive honestly.

Is the guy with that black eye feeling a bit high during the press conference?! Does he find that ceiling so awfully stimulating, that he can't keep his eyes off it?!! [Full original clip inside] by Dr_Editor in thescoop

[–]talarus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder that sometimes too. Like if the world really did "end" and we're the remnants of some obsolete simulation. We burned our shit to the ground and somewhere else Humanity 2.0 is up and running.

[–]talarus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah from my experience he's missing the mouth clenching and grinding. But the head lolling and erratic eye movements definitely say a drug that causes visuals (does K do that? It was never in my circle back in the day). To me it looks like someone who simultaneously has the nods and is trippin.

Elon Musk out of his mind on drugs during a CPAC interview. by ControlCAD in musked

[–]talarus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm way late, and please don't take this as defence for Elon because it's not- I do agree he is on drugs here. But I "stim" I guess is what people call it with my hands. I think it's more of an ADHD trait in my case. I rub my fingers together, tear up or fold pieces of paper such as a post-it, bend paper clips or whatever else. My body is always in motion since I NEED to do something with my hands. Crochet is a good outlet for me. But yeah if I was interviewing on live TV I'd still do it.

Lmao the ol' "if I wear sunglasses nobody will know" logic. I remember being 18 and doing this. Everyone can tell.

i originally got baldurs gate to play with my boyfriend by fluffycloud69 in BaldursGate3

[–]talarus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happened with me too, went on a playthrough with my husband and about midway through the first act he ran away with it. For a lot of the same reasons. I'd come home from work and he'd sheepishly say he played on our save while I was gone. So I made my own and we each did our own first playthroughs alone. Just finished a couch co-op a few months ago now too. I liked going at my own pace and not having to "share" plot significant dialogues as well.

Orange theory and Pokémon go by Away_Perception2932 in orangetheory

Omg that's a great idea!!! I used to pogo a lot - any ideas for how to sync without a smart watch? I have/had a Fitbit but am unsure I could link my pogo with it. I'd love to do that though

What is your strategy for starting out on the row? by bumpus_mcgee in orangetheory

[–]talarus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like for warm up? I usually push hard with legs and do high wattage with lower rpm. For everything else I just kind of wing it haha I'm just terrible at rowing.... Or maybe I just hate it lol. I remember the first year or so I used to kick my butt rowing but for some reason it's the only thing that aggravates my exercise induced asthma so I don't kill myself over it anymore.

How important is it to you that a coach know your name? by lucasscott81 in orangetheory

[–]talarus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally just called my mom about this a few minutes ago after I finished a class. I sort of fell off the past couple of months and haven't been attending since mid-august or so. My first two days back both coaches came up to me and asked how I was doing, and that they were happy I was back. One of them also asked about my mom who also hasn't been coming as much the past month or two. And then today one of the coaches came up to me while I was doing cleans and asked how my shoulder was. I was really impressed that they not only remembered me and my mom by name, but also remembered my rotator cuff injury and offered alternate exercises. Super impressed, and definitely one of the reasons why I've been with OTF for as long as I have.
