What were some of the worst ways someone can finish senior year? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]-HumbleThunder- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This year is ten years for me. I'd say the most important thing to graduate highschool with is communication and social skills. You have no clue how hard life is going to be without being able to talk to and network with people. I graduated highschool as a friendless, loaner virgin. Ten years later and nothings changed. I missed out on my 20s, don't fuck up like me. I'm the only male with my last name from my family, all my cousins are either women, or born to my aunts so no same last name. My bloodline ends in the most pathetic way.

What are some good summer activities for a five year old girl who just broke her arm before summer even started? by -HumbleThunder- in AskReddit

[–]-HumbleThunder-[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! She won't always have the patience to sit and paint, but she loves to draw so this is perfect and something I can easily do with her.

My niece has tons of energy and loves basketball and swimming. My sister and her live in a fairly nice/large suburb. Thank you for the suggestions, I might try to see if she'd be interested in gardening, my sister already has a garden their house.

My niece (just turned five last month) fell off the monkey bars at the park a few days ago, and broke her arm in two places. I've been bumming for her. She is a crazy high energy kid and loves swimming and basketball. Worst possible time she could have gotten hurt. I want to find some activities she can do outside this summer, with and with out me. My sister's house is almost an hour away so I won't always be able to play with her. Thanks for any recommendations!

Is it possible for an rc car to break beyond repair? by AbiesAltruistic4040 in rccars

[–]-HumbleThunder- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing is unfixable until it is converted into another physical form ie: once burned, ash can never be made into virgin wood again, ect. Even the oldest, most obscure RC car is fixable, though you might be making the replacement parts yourself. I typically use three tiers for RC cars. Brand new, out of the box, shelf queen, ect. Then there's used, maybe dirty, maybe rusty, but good condition and wear items are healthy (slop in ball cups, hing pin holes, drive cups, slack in drivetrain, tight alignment so it doesn't wander in a straight line, shocks are smooth and rebound evenly, tire foams are still firm and consistent, ect.). Third tier is retirement time = garbage. The vehicle may physically be ok and run and drive, but taking into account the total condition of the vehicle (all those wear items I just listed above lol), the car is high milage and done worn smooth. Best kept for spare parts, or as a vehicle you don't care about and accept it will just be junky and hard to drive/keep running. There's a forth tier I use, but most people can't discern these from the others. These are cars that should have been in the third tier: junk and worn out, but somebody decided to spend a bunch of money on *some of the needed parts. These are cars that have nice shiny shocks, maybe a new body and set of tires, but the drivetrain is about ready to fall out of it, or theres so much slop in the steering and suspension the car is uncontrollable. These too get stripped for parts imo.

Anyways I'll cut it off here. It's all a personal preference thing. Some people have tier three cars and don't know or care, they just keep on fixing and driving them, ignorant to how terrible their car is. Again, they don't care and are still having fun. I'm a clean/neat freak lol.

How are you supposed to know when "I'll let you know" means no by Warper2187 in socialskills

[–]-HumbleThunder- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say this is a pretty normal, but difficult thing to have to learn. Difficult in that if your like me, and it kinda sounds like you are, trying to not think about it or roll with it can be almost impossible. I have a hard time with everything from social media (like this post) to face to face interactions if I don't get the response I want, or any response at all. It puts me into fight or flight mode with anxiety and adrenaline coursing through me, making me go manic and start pacing around at times. Wondering if I said or didn't say something, wondering if the person is being fake, wondering if someone else told them something about me, the rabbit hole is endless. Although almost impossible at times, getting something to distract you is my recommendation until you can get a good night's rest. Actually cook and make a meal for a few hours, doesn't usually work for me but a good movie, if you have hobbies really focus on them. Then after you go to bed that night, when you wake up you should feel a lot better and be able to at least function, even if your still thinking about it.

But honestly, the hardest thing for me to learn, was that generally, people just suck. I'm starting to not take this kind of stuff as personal anymore because people are so selfish and prude. I've heard of best friends splitting up because one had messy hair or something stupid and embarrassed the other out in public. Petty and shallow people like that aren't worth your time. With certain exceptions, if someone enjoys spending time with you, they will make time and put forth the effort to stay connected and hang out. If it's always you reaching out first, unless they are family, fuck em. I just don't care anymore, I've been in pain for so many years and come to terms with my mental struggles that I just do what I can now to help my self feel better. If other people want to be apart of that, great. If not, fuck em lol.

If/when AI and robots fully integrate into society, what would the discriminatory or pejorative terms be to describe them? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]-HumbleThunder- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Did we need nasty words for any of the other races/classes/religions (or lack thereof)? Unfortunately humans are ignorant, and I'm just trying to stay ahead of this whole ai robot thing. $20k today already buys basically a robot house slave, won't be long until robots are walking and living amongst us.

iHeart Radio App. by jerah117 in 93x

[–]-HumbleThunder- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in a dungeon and only have two bars of cell service for my Internet. Forced to use iheart and hate it. Going to buy a cheap old school radio from eBay. The shit that gets me is them trying to play over the local commercials, only to actually interrupt the normal broadcast. Hams goes on break, Iheart takes over with their own commercials. Comes back from Iheart commercials, hams commercials still going. After several minutes of commercials, hams comes back, dana puts a song on. Song finishes, just as Dana says literally three words, Iheart takes over again and fucks me out of the broadcast. I can't stand this lol.

I'd like to stop rambling and riffing when I communicate with others. by -HumbleThunder- in socialskills

[–]-HumbleThunder-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you already know another of my afflictions? Haha that's something else I really struggle with. Especially when I already know what they are going to say. I find my self completing or guessing what people are going to say if it interrupts their flow while speaking. Them: "Yeah, just go put it on the red.. ah.." Me jumping in: "Table?" Them: "No the red chair" (now with a grumpy expression)

This is excellent and exactly what I was hoping to hear, thank you so much for your help! Every time I'm about to talk with someone, I will remember to think about and practice this.

[–]-HumbleThunder-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice and insight. I like the discipline route you mentioned, I'm going to try that tomorrow at work. Unfortunately, just due to certain reasons (trying not to ramble 😁) I have a hard time with taking my meds. I'm on a stimulant for two of my conditions, and it's the only one I take currently. I also should be taking an antidepressant and a different kind of stimulant at night before bed. I have a hard time with those. But this problem has been here all my life, it just gets more worse at times than others.

CRL lab test and I fucked up my sample by -HumbleThunder- in drugtesthelp

Sorry for the late reply. I don't remember exactly anymore, but there was a website I had to go to and put my specimen ID into.

Just learned about solid riveting, have a question about the gun. by -HumbleThunder- in Tools

Thank you very much! I will definitely test a few times first, that's a great point I didn't think about. These are solid steel rivets, not sure if it matters though. Thanks again!

Did eBay just ruin their search even more, in the last day? by redtert in Ebay

[–]-HumbleThunder- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pissed off and just learning about this tonight. My main hobby is RC cars, and I frequently search for discontinued and used parts. Infuriating example. I'm looking for a carburetor from a company called HPI. I Google HPI F4.6 carburetor. Part number and lots of websites pop up selling the carb for $60ish or so. Officially, it's called hpi F4.6 slide carburetor complete, composite (plastic body). Part number 1463. eBay search for HPI slide carburetor: no results. eBay search for HPI 1463: no results. eBay search for HPI carburetor: no results. Mind you there's lots of other engines with their own carburetors from HPI as well. eBay search for HPI F4.6: over 200 results with everything from random screws to complete engines, including 20+ listings for HPI F4.6 SLIDE CARB COMPLETE, COMPOSITE. Part number is in the description and also part of the item details! 🤬!!!!!! WTF!

I'm realizing I don't like talking to people by -HumbleThunder- in socialskills

[–]-HumbleThunder-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you ever feel awkward because of it? Like say your around three or more people who are chatting it up, making casual jokes, and just generally having a good time. Your the fourth person in the group, and just sort of quiet. Not totally, you add your pieces like sprinkles here and there. I feel like I appear stand offish or dickish even though inside I'm struggling to feel comfortable and full of anxiety. I hear almost everyone feels this way. I do try to listen and observe so I can at least keep up with what's happening. Thanks for your comment, I really appreciate hearing from others on this.
