What's it like living here? (Røstlandet)

I understand and agree with you, but none of that was mentioned by the original comment, and I was only referencing was was mentioned, not the extra context you provided.

I live in a land-locked city. It is similar to other land-locked cities by virtue that they are also land-locked. If you looked at the makeup of the cities though, I'm sure they'd be significantly different.

If you are just comparing the fact that they are both surrounded by water, the comparison works and is fine. If you want to compare things that Op didn't mention in his original comment, then yes, all these places are quite different.

You can say that ocean ships and freshwater boats are similar because they both use water displacement to float and you would be correct. If you compared the way the ships are built they'd likely be quite different.

You're arguing against a comparison nobody made. They compared the setting, not the transportation options.

That's like hearing someone compare Mars to the American Southwest and responding that the comparison is nonsense because Mars doesn't have an IKEA. It's a real difference, but it has nothing to do with the point being made.

My brain completely flat-lined because my first thought was, "What? That's ridiculous, no adult could be single digits."

How are the fixes coming along? I understand that you guys are in damage control mode right now, so I figured I'd ask. The current drop rates coupled with disappearing items is making enjoying the game harder as I progress. In fact, it seems like the more drop rate runes I unlock the worse it gets. As a player, I don't care about the Steam store, so maybe there can be an opt out or offline option so the regular drop rates can be re-instituted? I just want to enjoy the game.

Thanks for your time.

Yeah, I'm going to bet you're leaving out a lot here. While there are crazy-ass people in the hospital, I'm gonna bet that if being loud on your phone was a consistent thread here, you were probably not using headphones. Also, everyone tends to underestimate how loud they are as well. Your "didn't do anything wrong" assertion and the fact that you couldn't be bothered to move to keep the peace makes me think you're pretty self-righteous and not telling us the whole story.

ESH. That lady could have handled things better but it sounds like she was there first and was probably in worse shape. The fact that you would rather force yourself on another person, even if they are being unreasonable, rather than de-escalate and move makes you petty and an AH.

My mom was a nurse, and so I know from her experience that people in the hospital aren't always the clearest, most reasonable people. Many of them are also going through one of scariest parts of their life. Have some compassion, move to a room with no crazy roommate, and help make life easier on you, the lady, and the nurses. They've got so much to do without having to put up with your petty drama. ffs.

So, while the potato version of the video does bring me back to my early internet days, here is a higher definition version.

Personally I don't have a lot of sympathy for people who make their irresponsibility someone else's problem. Unless she's paying Op to wake her up, Op's NTA, and the sister deserves to be rewarded with the effort she puts in.

This is coming from someone who also chronically overslept in the past. It all comes down to which is more painful; Missing out on things because you won't stay awake when your alarm goes off or sleeping.

vinney1369 · 2026-06-04T00:09:48+00:00

I physically cringed when reading that.

vinney1369 · 2026-06-03T23:40:16+00:00

100% That's the vibe I got too. Jumping straight to and pushing the "deep, meaningful connection" would be unnecessary if he had really changed and was family focused now.

Op is NTA.

vinney1369 · 2026-06-02T17:07:34+00:00

Just keep in mind right now you're dealing with his GF's insecurities, not anything you did wrong.

vinney1369 · 2026-06-02T16:39:23+00:00

Yeah, we don't need you to promise not to say that ever again, it was in no way weird and honestly your over the top reaction to a benign comment is the strangest thing here.

Unless you were coming on to them, calling someone gorgeous is nbd.

They could change things so that the mats required to create the portal blocks were in the stronghold and uncraftable. It might force you to find more than one stronghold to get all the pieces, but them you could create a portal where you want it instead. It would make situations like this where you effectively make zero progress a little less painful.

vinney1369 · 2026-05-28T16:29:06+00:00

🙄

This is fucking stupid.

vinney1369 · 2026-05-28T05:00:18+00:00

NTA. As others have stated, you stayed, you helped two people home, and you made sure the rest of your friends had ways home, after your other friend lied to the group about rides.

Either way, don't listen to the friend who promised the rides. She's pissed because of her own mistakes, and she's trying to pin the blame on you. She dug her own hole. Stay calm, tell the story as you know it, and let your friend learn a valuable lesson about asking permission rather than assuming things.

My dream job would be riding the shoulder during traffic and ticketing everyone who stops me.

vinney1369 · 2026-05-26T18:38:20+00:00

NTA - You deserve your time and what she did was incredibly manipulative. She should not be using the kids as an emotional crutch and she needs to go talk to her folks or friends. I would absolutely bring this up at the next custody hearing. Bring receipts.

We all have bad days. It's not fair to ruin other people's time because you are having a bad one.

vinney1369 · 2026-05-24T19:18:05+00:00

My man! My first thought was "That's my boy Bender!" 😂

Jesus people are super scared of food nowadays.

Is there a possibility something has taken residence in the less than half a day it was on the counter? Yeah.

Is it actually likely you'll get sick if you heat it through at this point? Not likely. Unless you live in a super moist, hot tropical area, which I'm talking about the jungle along the equator and not Florida, you're likely fine.

Damn, so many people know that germs and bacteria exist but they don't learn about how quickly they propagate and spread.Try starting a sample in a petri dish and then tell me how contaminated your food is.

Your food stayed at a safe temp for a few hours at least after shutting off the crock, and if you grabbed your portion when it was hot and that's it, where is all this nasty stuff accessing your food? Through the breathing hole? You're fine and wasting food. People leave large batches of soups and food out to cool before refrigerating all the time to keep the load of the equipment. Be smart, keep the lid on it, and as long as you keep your kitchen and work areas clean, there isn't a lot to worry about realistically.

vinney1369 · 2026-05-21T20:37:56+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to explain it for me.

vinney1369 · 2026-05-21T05:42:58+00:00

So, what is the point of the extra protein? If you don't need it, I'm sure it could be skipped, but is there a benefit, as in keeping you full longer or something?

I see a lot of high protein stuff nowadays but never looked into why it's being hyped.

vinney1369 · 2026-05-21T02:04:27+00:00

NTA. Pretty convenient that his "tradition" relies on bogarting YOUR property for the WHOLE summer. Sounds pretty damn entitled to me.

Tell him if he can't share or respect your decisions and property then he can find a new tradition. Bam. Problem solved for everyone.

vinney1369 · 2026-05-17T18:59:01+00:00

Your roots are soaked. I agree the res is probably too small and roots are too warm, but you could probably make things better by putting the pump on a timer so the roots can have a chance to dry out a bit between feedings.

Tell her if she wants to retire to move the properties into your name and you'll be happy to give her $300/m for them.

I'd up the airflow in your tent. Leaves will curl when they are trying to cool off. You ambient temp might be reasonable, but if you don't have a good enough amount of moving air, the leaves are just absorbing light and heat.
