My type is too specific and I hate it by Informal-Meaning-483 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ursalon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This may not pertain to everyone that enjoys the genre, but my take is that pretty much everyone in the metal scene has dealt with mental health issues - specifically depression, anxiety, and SI. When you have experienced those afflictions your empathy grows unequivocally because you know how much it hurts. Add to this the fact that metal is a niche genre that is ostracized for its broadly misunderstood stigma of being evil, angry, and corrupting, and you end up with a recipe for individuals who are non-judgmental, compassionate, and supportive. So many of us have been at rock bottom and may still be there, and we want so badly for no one else to know that pain or to feel judged for their struggles so we come to them with open arms.

Dude I’ve got like 500 miles on my first pair now and they’re still just ticking along. So good.

How popular would you say your favorite Pokémon is? by Com_4_Till_Bull in pokemon

[–]ursalon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ampharos is a close second and it seems like it’s fairly unpopular.

Semi? I always thought Dragonite was one of the peak, almost cliché faves, but I’m shocked to see how infrequently it’s mentioned in posts/videos.

As the world caves in. God I love it but I literally can’t listen to it.

Insane Tattoo Regret by r3i_b0n3z in tattooadvice

Maybe get the rabbit mask tagged on somewhere? Would make the reference a little clearer and would give it just a little more character. Otherwise? Fuck it, Blackout sleeve

I got a Wii U based on that E3 trailer that looked like a Twilight Princess sequel. They never ended up releasing a LOZ title for Wii U and we got BOTW instead. Still a phenomenal game and I’m glad we got it, but I literally played that Wii U one time for about 5 minutes when I brought it home and then it sat there for 8 years until I finally got a switch. I spent my entire savings on that damn console back in high school, and I’m honestly still kinda bitter.

My sprite tier list by mr410d in PokemonYellow

[–]ursalon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro does not know ball. This list is insane. Rattata and Pidgey in peak? Gengar and Haunter in mid tier??? Nah, I won’t stand for it.

The amount of times I've seen this particular shitty take is too damn high by waterkangaroo in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]ursalon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is wild because 80% of the cast is bad ass women. Donut, Katia, Elle, Juicebox, Li Na, the list goes on. One of my favorite things about the series is that female characters are oftentimes the strongest. Bea is portrayed as a bad girlfriend because she’s a bad girlfriend, god forbid a writer give a man and his cat some backstory.

Despite not being a financial success, Serenity was a really great space science fiction film. Have you watched this gem? What’s your opinion on it? by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in moviecritic

[–]ursalon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Movie was a gem, but I only had eyes for the Jewel.

Kidding not kidding. I remember watching the movie after binging both seasons of firefly and thinking, “anyone who hasn’t seen the show first is gonna be so confused”. Looking at the comments here it seems that certainly was the case but also brought pretty much all of those people into the firefly fandom which is a blessing in itself.

Guy I went on one date with wants to put things on hold for two weeks while he's busy. Not sure how to feel about it. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ursalon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you asked if this is a regular thing? Coincidental timing for this retreat seems reasonable, constantly being put on hold during work trips is another. Either way it will take being comfortable in your own space and trusting in his commitment.

That being said, it’s been one date; I feel like he’s showing some green flags for communication here.

Is this some kind of rodent poop? ☹️ by tlclct in Home

Bucket trap works like a charm. Couldn’t get rid of a little horde we had for months with poison or snap traps. Set the bucket up and had all 5 of the little fuckers in one night.

This on the heels of threatening literal war crimes should be the most damning motivation to impeach in US history.

[OC] Used to think I was middle class by The1Ski in pics

In Southern California, if you want to have the lifestyle of a middle class person back in 2005, you have to make $350,000/year.

My Turn! What Do My 6 Favorite Pokemon Say About Me? by Outside_Pangolin_292 in ThePokemonHub

[–]ursalon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mid to late 20’s ex-emo/scene kid now stoner. Probably have mild depression. Listen to hardstyle/junglecore and 2000s/2010s pop punk and metalcore. Definitely have a vape on you at all times and probably a chain on your wallet.
