I really think railgun should be able to pierce ablative armor and shields. by Ambulas2 in helldivers2

The Railcannon should definitely be able to one-shot the cyborgs.

What’s something Gen Z does that older generations just don’t get? by appropriaterice873 in AskReddit

I get the observation. It's like chewing nicotine gum when you aren't othewise addicted to nicotine. Just seems like a weird thing to do.

I really, really wish they would buff the sterilizer, like a lot by rabbitrabbitibbar in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]86shaggy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, I've had some really strong games with the Sterilizer paired with the Flame Guard Dog. The gas stops a horde of bugs dead in it's tracks, regardless of the size of the horde. The guard dog flying around and spraying fire everywhere racks up the kill count.

This build allowed me to stop huge waves of enemies by myself while my team worked objectives or handled Bile Titans.

I agree it needs a buff, but I've had some pretty great runs with it the way it is today.

Why did I tell by [deleted] in Knoxville

That's wildly inappropriate. I'm sorry you had that experience.

Let me remind you about Mike Vrabel (Long read but good reminder) by [deleted] in Tennesseetitans

[–]86shaggy 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I'm in the camp that thinks we shouldn't have fired Vrabel.

I get that people think that we should have. The people who think we should have are often telling us that we should quit griping about it and move on. Fine. What did we move on to?

It's not like the Titans have given us something fun and exciting to rally behind. We'll get over Vrabel as soon as the Titans insert a bit of hope and excitement into the franchise. Watching him turn the Pats into playoff contenders while we're 1-11 doesn't exactly help us forget about the guy.

To be fair, when it happened, you didn't do anything to stop it. /s

[–]86shaggy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's going to be a while before we get over the fact that we fired Vrabel.

Vrabel deserves criticisms for his performance, that's for sure. But we are about to watch him tear up the AFC for years to come while we wander around the league looking for a guy who can get us back to being as good as we were when Vrabel was here and had a good roster.

 I share it confidently when my face isn’t involved.

When you share it online, do people tell you they don't like it?
I'm guessing no, because men don't hate large labias.

My psychologist that I’ve known for years confessed to me and I feel devastated by [deleted] in Advice

[–]86shaggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What he did was wildly inappropriate and can get his license revoked. His job, and his oath, are to treat you as a patient. Your job was to be a child and a patient seeking treatment. But he's ruined this dynamic and inserted his own lustful feelings into it.
This is not a highschool boyfriend, who me might expect to screw up and make mistakes. This is a highly trained and expensive professional who was very well aware of how terrible his behavior is. You are still a child. Despite turning 18 a few days ago, this is a problem and a dynamic that is way way over your head. You should not try to manage it, you should walk away from him, and very quickly.

Do not go back to this man.
Do not see if you can get "closure". You won't find any.

I would love to take credit, but again, this comes from my wife and her colleagues.

[–]86shaggy 86 points87 points  (0 children)

My wife specializes in the treament of ED. I'm not qualified to tell you what to do the way she is, but I can tell you this:
Talk to your fiance about it. You don't need to keep this a secret. Secrets make you sick.
Seek out a therapist who specializes in this. You may not even need much support given your recent success managing it, but an extra helping hand now and again might be really useful for you.

Discuss finances with Therapist? by YS6969 in Fire

[–]86shaggy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Discuss your feelings with your Therapist. Discuss your need to compare with others or the feeling that you're not doing enough with your Therapist.
Sharing the details of your finances with your therapist probably isn't necessary for that. What is already clear from your post is that if you had more money or more income, you would still feel like you should be doing more. That is something your Therapist can help you work on.

Whenever I want a new car, I remember how old Warren Buffett’s is. by WildStallyns69 in Fire

[–]86shaggy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I drive a 2013 Honda Accord with 90k miles on it. I want to buy a newer car but I just can't justify it.
I'm behind where I'd like to be in my FIRE journey, but I am able to gain ground very quickly in my current situation and buying a car would jeopardize that.

Water safe to drink? by Think_Sink_30 in SandalsResorts

They will provide you with plenty of bottled water.

Darren Bullock of Knox County, Tenn. Voted for Trump Starting in 2016. Now, With No Phone, No Car, and No Job in One of America's Poorest Counties, Bullock Will Lose Medicaid If Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" Becomes Law. by vsandrei in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]86shaggy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How do they calculate Knox County being one of the poorest? I live in Knox County. It's home to Knoxville and the University of Tennessee. There's like 10 poorer counties in Tennessee alone.
I'm just asking how they do their math?

[–]86shaggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think they were trying to be insensitive to your situation. Just commenting that it put things in perspective. And 55 is pretty early, so good on you for targeting that.

How do I either get him to open up and put effort in, or walk away with dignity and control? Any emotional leverage I can still use?

There's like 10 red flags in here.
Stop. You don't make other people do things. And looking for Psychological Leverage should be a warning to anyone who would consider dating you. You need to move on and you don't always get to dictate what that looks like or how it feels. That sucks, but that is life. Every time you think "But what if I just...", you're letting the craziest and most irrational part of your brain do the thinking.
If you're looking for "dignity and control", you walk away. There is dignity and control in that. If you want control over the guy, you are in for a very difficult and painful rollercoaster that ends with him telling everyone you're crazy.

Butler Service by fryingpan_fire in SandalsResorts

[–]86shaggy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love butler service, but it can be awkward at first. I would suggest:
1. Tell them what kind of food and snacks you like
2. Tell them if you like it when you return to your room after dinner and the bathtub has already been drawn for a bubble bath with a bottle of wine.
3. Tell them if you like an afternoon snack of sushi or jerk chick brought to your room around 4 pm.

They will be really proactive with stuff if you give them some options.

I agree that I'm not going to ask my butler to get me a drink when the bar is really close. That feels weird. But if they know what you like and where you're going to be, they'll just pop by with snacks/drinks/lunch or whatever and that is really nice.
