Dentist the Menace
  • That's also where the concept of a "barbershop quartet" came from. Dentists would have the aforementioned quartet singing loudly outside of their shop to drown out the screaming of patients inside.

  • Let's see if I can guess everyone here, from left to right, top to bottom:

    1. the guy from the TV show The Bear
    2. Eddie from Stranger Things season 4
    3. Legolas from I'm gonna guess that still is from Return of the King
    4. Jack Black from School of Rock
    5. Markiplier?
    6. Geralt from The Witcher TV Show
    7. Pedro Pascal's character from The Last of Us, I think his name was Joel?

  • I was just talking about this recently. There are of course some women who like muscle men or assholes, but most women are attracted to men who make them feel safe and/or make them laugh. If it is about looks, they're probably just looking for a slender/chubby guy who has a caring/funny/brooding kind of look about them.

    Also! Looks can change as you get to know someone. A person who was initially hot as hell can become revolting if their personality sucks, and vice versa, someone that didn't really stand out to you could become literally the hottest person in the universe if their personality rocks!

  • How to go about getting delisted DLC from Steam?
  • You can download specific DLCs but I'm not entirely sure they'll be useable. It's worth a try. Here's how you do it:

    Open a web browser and type in steam://open/console and it should open the Steam console inside of Steam itself. Type download_depot <game_id> <depot number> for Rocksmith the game id is 205190 and you can look up the specific DLC you want on steamdb

    So for example, the Pearl Jam Song Pack could be downloaded using download_depot 205190 222139

    Rocksmith's DLC SteamDB page: https://steamdb.info/app/205190/dlc/

    If this DLC has been disabled as you said, this might not work, or you might need to make sure that Steam doesn't try to update the game (which would disable the DLC again). You can do that by browsing to ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/ (assuming you're on Linux, or just wherever your "steamapps" folder is on your PC) and find the file called appmanifest_205190.acf and set it to read only. That should prevent Steam from modifying any changes you've made to the game. Just remember to set it back to writable if you want to update the game again.

    The game might not recognize the DLC as I said, but you should be able to access the files anyway if that's all you wanted. They'll be in ../steamapps/downloading at least until the download is complete, then it should try to apply the DLC to the game, which might cause the files to get deleted. I'm not entirely sure about that.

  • I would personally just treat whatever direction I'm facing at the time as North and go from there.
  • East is sunrise. West is sunset. The sun will also always be slightly south and even more so in the winter (unless you're in the southern hemisphere then it's slightly north).

    If your local area has some kind of landmark like a big tower, or a big lake, learn where that is relative to you and use it as a reference point. For me, I live near a big lake and it's always south of me. It might be easier for you to ask yourself "which way is the lake?" instead of "which way is south?" or whatever your landmark and direction happen to be.

  • Favorite underrated / unrecognized TV show? I'll go first.
  • It's not exactly "unrecognized" because it's fairly popular, but From -- yes, that's the name, and yes, it makes it very difficult to search for.

    It's pretty highly rated, horror/mystery show. It's a lot like Lost except more horror less mystery. It even stars Harold Perrineau who played Michael in Lost.

    The concepts and monsters are very scary and/or creepy. It gives me a Dead by Daylight "The Entity" and "The Entity's Realm" vibe if you're familiar with the game.

  • Cognitive Biases
  • For negativity bias my wife just told me a great technique that she uses for that. Come up with a list of people whose opinions matter to you. Any time you question yourself, imagine how each person on that list would react to what you did. Since those are the only people whose opinions matter to you, if it's mostly positive, then you should feel proud of your choice.

  • Quitting the game
  • That kind of sounds like a strategy to trigger lucid dreaming. I've heard that if you envision a specific thing while falling asleep, like for example the StarCraft menu screen, then it will appear somewhere in your dream. When it does, it's supposed to sort of jostle you into consciousness but not wake you up.

    It seems that what this person's friend did with his free will in dream land is nope right out of there. He could have turned that nightmare into something awesome though!

  • I'm gay, not blind!
  • I'm sure you're aware but I think it needs to be said more; but I think that most women would love to pay men compliments on their appearance, but unfortunately, it sometimes leads to weird, obsessive, totally inappropriate behaviour from said men and so that scares a lot of women off.

    We, as a society, should try to discourage men from reading too much into a purely platonic compliment so that women feel more free to give men compliments without fear of super awkward and/or scary situations.

  • True dat
  • There are a lot of women that love fat guys. Ignoring the haters and wearing what you like is hot AF.

    I'm gay, but if I were straight I would be with a fat guy over any other guy, 100%.
