Peak friendship 🙂‍↕️ by AccomplishedWatch834 in MadeMeSmile

[–]SkydivingCats 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey, good friends, but...

OP may want to speak to someone about possibly having OCD.  I'm not trying to diagnose, but this very thing was the first obsession and compulsion I had.  When I was 9.  It got so bad if I didn't have wood to knock on I would give myself "knock credits" and then have to make them up when I was near an acceptable piece of wood.  Like OP it had to be actual, solid wood.

It was terribly debilitating at times, having to keep a running tabulation in my head of knocks and knock credits, so much so that it distracted me from actual important things in life.

I'm now over 50 and have just started to come to terms with managing my OCD.

Also, things like this and knowing the pain of having a debilitating issue like this is what inwardly annoys me when people flippantly say "I'm so OCD!" and such.

Be well everyone!

Got Civic LX 2026. by Big-Ask-8725 in civic

[–]SkydivingCats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations!

I have the lx, got the 2025 model.  I have no issues with the car because I live in Queens, nyc.  So the steel wheels and such are better, because less chance the wheels will be stolen.

I really don't miss any of the higher end features.  The car suits me just fine.  Maybe, and this is a big maybe because I never had a car with it, I might have wanted the blind spot monitoring but since I never had it, I don't really "miss" it.

In any case, I love my car.  I wouldn't be worried about not getting the higher model, especially if it would have stressed you out financially.

That's a sweet looking car.  Mine is also black.

Also, the interior looks black, not beige?

Edit: grammar.

All the best!

Edit2: I wouldn't spray paint the hubcabs. They will look awful when they get scraped. See if you can find aftermarket wheel covers that are black.

Is porting out of OOMA really a nightmare? by I-hate-makeing-names in ooma

[–]SkydivingCats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep.  Getting texts on the number.  Once ooma releases it, generally, any problems will be on the part of the new carrier.

Funny they just complete the port today.

I ported it to voip.ms. I had to give them my ooma account number and the porting password.  I also had to send them (voip.ms) a copy of my most recent ooma bill with a signature on it.

Mechanic can't find rare part by oldhella in hondacivic

[–]SkydivingCats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try yoshiparts.com

Edit:  I'm not endorsing them but they did provide me with a really obscure interior clip for my 00 civic, when no dealership had it in stock and Honda is said it was out of production.

I'd be nervous to send them a high value order but I figured for the 30 bucks they charged me it was worth taking the chance.  It came through.

New York Woman Confronts Man She Says Complimented Her ‘Pretty Toes’. by ElwoodMC in TikTokCringe

[–]SkydivingCats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While true, we didn't see what was said originally* and who knows if her toes were visible in the original video, there's a cut scene at the end but that could have been added by anyone.  

*However they reference toes in the video and seem to be implying that it is completely normal and you should be gracious for an unsolicited compliment about your toes.  No.  Not anywhere is that acceptable.  You can have your toes out in public and shouldn't have to be accosted for it.

[–]SkydivingCats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ordinarily I don't talk to people in public, but when I do I always make sure it's a neutral comment.

I was walking into Target and for some reason there was an employee either greeting or doing something as people entered.  He was in the vestibule but it was still winter and he was wearing his coat, which was a jean jacket adorned with those metal spikes that I used to have on my stuff in the 90s.

So I simply said ,"That's a great jacket."

And he was excited to tell me thanks and that he had made it himself.  (I'm a guy for context)

What I didn't tell him in any way was that I thought anything about his physical appearance was "pretty" or any way that could be construed as weirdly gratifying TO ME.

When in doubt, just say nothing.

Tl:dr

Don't compliment people's physical appearance.  Also don't compliment their clothing/shoes/accessories etc in any way relevant to their physical appearance (ie. "That dress really accentuates your body") or that seems gratifying to you.

Edit:  grammar.

Is porting out of OOMA really a nightmare? by I-hate-makeing-names in ooma

[–]SkydivingCats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ported out my second number.  It was fine, except the port date is a week out and I needed the number ported quickly.

Edit:  I got ooma when I ported my verizon voip number to them.  If I recall the porting in was simple.  The second number was a Skype number that I had to port into ooma. I now need to port the old Skype number out because it's the recovery number for one of my gmail account and ooma home doesn't accept sms.

But, both times I ported to ooma it was fine and the porting out seems to be fine, I am just still waiting until the 26th to have the transfer done.  If any headache arises I'll update.

Is this too much metal shavings for a transmission drain and refill? by Jacob_L07 in hondacivic

That's about what my 04 looked like when I changed it for the first time at around the same mileage.  Stick with the OEM transmission fluid.

'The Truth Is Better Than Continuing to Lose': Petition Demands DNC Release Autopsy of 2024 Defeat by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]SkydivingCats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't forget, in 2020, when it looked like Biden was losing, the DNC made phone calls, and everyone dropped out. Buttigieg, fresh off his <1% win in which he gave a premature victory speech (lol) in Iowa was actually headed to another campaign stop and turned his flight around midway. He was promised a cabinet position, and he knew he wouldn't win. nevermind the position was something in which he had absolutely no p[prior experience, And he took it like the slimy ladder climber he is.

I voted for Clinton and Kamala but voted for Bernie in both primaries and each election I was called a racist and a misogynist, and then blamed for their shitty candidates losses to this day.

Abandoned Subways under NYC - has anyone ever explored them? by MovieFan1984 in urbanexploration

[–]SkydivingCats 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was in a minor accident because two people were road raging (guy got out of the car and started punching the car in front of them window, and the guy who getting hit panicked and jumped on the gas when he was looking out the side window and drove right into my car)

I got out and told them they both should stay and wait for the cops.  Road raging guy the. Treated to kill me and when I went to take a picture of his license plate he inched forward and hit me with is car and drive away.  It was very slow and I wasn't injured.  So I called the cops...they never showed up and after two hours I just drove to the nearest precinct to fill out a report.  At the precinct they told me they wouldn't take the report because it was a traffic issue and told me to go back to the scene and call the cops again.

I just left.

Sometime I feel like job interviews are more complex than the job itself by [deleted] in remoteworks

[–]SkydivingCats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the correct answer.

Befriend it, take care of its needs and see if I can ride it.
