I’d read this book / watch this show.
The unassuming, nerdy werewolf. Gets picked on by the jocks for being a werewolf, until one of them needs a math tutor in order to play in the next big game and reluctantly gets help from Ashen, the werewolf and an unlikely friendship blossoms.
Just bought a bunch of bird seed because a bunch of birds were scavenging in my front yard.
I’m gonna have bird friends soon!
My sister’s Achilles heel is string cheese, so this would definitely work on her. I used it for the opposite. I’d give her string cheese if she agreed to leave me alone and go away.
Yeah. My true friends know why I disintegrate into a swarm of ravens and they are the only ones I care about knowing anyway.
No! NOOOOO! Grandma, you whore!
Then why did she leave that “back massager” out all the time?! Just seems irresponsible at that point.
Damn… am I on the Truman Show or something?
This is something my grandmother would have had and actually used it as a normal shower head and thought nothing of it.
Even spiders have that one uncle that’s like “pull my horseshoe vortices”.
Well, it makes sense then that we used to describe it as being a “Doom-like” game lol.
That’s why I mentioned that the US is just operating in a form of soft despotism. It is not obvious the the American people.
Most US citizens believe they have the power or believe they have a lot of power or even at least some power.
Soft despotism gives people the illusion that they are in control, but actually they don’t have any real influence over the government.
“No polling indicated public opinion shifted on this and we are being adaptive!”
What is “this”? What is the topic?
“Saving lives is efficient” doesn’t even sound like a full thought.
It’s efficient in what regard? In what way is saving lives commonly thought to be inefficient?
Here’s the issue. The nice guys you’re talking about, the “real nice guys” don’t care about advantages and disadvantages of being nice because they aren’t being nice in order to gain something from others… cause that’s not actually being nice. They aren’t being nice and then getting upset that their kindness isn’t being noticed when dating or that they get upset when their kindness is taken advantage of. They are nice because they believe being decent to others is the best way to live and treat others, even if it’s sometimes taken advantage of by others. They find more in the act of being nice itself, than what they may benefit from it or even what possible negative results may come from it from other people taking advantage.
The second you said “when it gives you a disadvantage while dating” you’ve already crossed the line into r/niceguys. You’re trying to give kindness a value that can be traded or points and essentially stating it deserves something in return.
Don’t be nice to gain something from others. That isn’t being nice. That’s being manipulative. Be nice knowing you aren’t going to gain anything in return, but still choose to be nice anyway.
As for helping others… it sounds weird when you put the two topics together. Helping people that are being abused… and dating. I don’t want to make assumptions, but talking about both of these things together makes it sound more like your main focus is dating, but kind of using “helping others” as a guise. It’s one thing to want to help abuse victims, but it’s another if you’re essentially saying that you want to help them out of their abusive relationship and into a relationship with you. That doesn’t sound like the goal is to actually help them. It sounds like “come date me because I’m a nice guy and will treat you better”. Then getting frustrated that the don’t, because you “deserve” the relationship because your a ‘nice guy’ and it’s an afterthought that it may so happen to benefit them too.
Maybe I’m reading into it wrong. This is a complex conversation over a couple paragraphs, so… kind of hard to gauge accuracy over what is being said.
You think there is democracy in the US? Our votes don’t even matter because politicians purposefully draw the districts to favor the outcome they want (gerrymandering) and it’s completely legal because the people in charge of making the laws are the same people that are in control and want to stay in control.
The US is soft despotism.
Giant corporations literally buy the laws they want at the expense of the people, because politicians like money and are happy to sign away bills for a large bribe gift of a million dollars.
The people aren’t in control and haven’t been anywhere close to in control for nearly a century.
What was illegal for President Warren G Harding in the 1920’s (giving all his under qualified buddies cabinet positions, so they could all make huge deals with government contracts) is now just the norm and completely legal.
It doesn’t affect me. That being said “policing” is a hyperbole. Obviously no one is forcing people to swear, they are just giving them shit when they censor themselves. Those people can still choose to censor themselves even when someone tells them it’s ok to swear.
It’s no more policing than OP ‘policing’ people to not ‘police’ him.
People have opinions. You can’t request others to not have their opinions if you’re going to share yours.
Lol “when it suddenly charged him”.
The article states that he was tracking the animal with the intent to kill it and then says it suddenly charged him, as if it was so super random and out of the blue.
Sorry friend.
Maybe something nicer to think about instead.

Anxiety: oh god, it’s coming!!
Me: what!? What is it!?
Anxiety: Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!
I demand a second opinion! Bring in another dog just to be sure.
I saw these a little while back and thought they looked awesome, but after reading lots of reviews on a few different brands, they all came to the same conclusion. It wasn’t actually viable as a Bluetooth device. Hard to hear for both parties.
Most said they just ended up using it as part of their cosplay, but never used the actual Bluetooth function. At that rate, you could find better looking ones or ones that may have other, simple functions, like just doing the sound effect when you press it.
I imagine if you wanted to create the effect, you could may be able to buy your own pin of it to put on your shirt and then wear a typical Bluetooth ear piece and just act like you are using the communicator. It’s not perfect, but you’d at least have a Bluetooth that is viable and just get the one that makes the sound effect when you press it.
