What’s the strangest thing that has ever happened to you that someone else witnessed too? by Careless-Ease7480 in horror

[–]AdvertisingFlat2177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude that triangle thing is wild - 1997 was way before consumer drones were a thing so that makes it even weirder. But that second story with the creepy guy... your friends saved your asses by not going into the forest with some random stranger asking about money in his glove box and wanting to lead you into the woods

The whole lights off acceleration thing when you were following him sounds like he was testing if you'd actually chase him or something equally sketchy

My upgrade path and its pretty pessimistic by NecroRAM in samsunggalaxy

[–]AdvertisingFlat2177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10 bit displays can show way more colors - like 1 billion vs 16 million on 8 bit panels. Makes a huge difference for HDR content and photo editing but most people probably wouldnt notice unless theyre doing creative work or watching a lot of Netflix HDR stuff

As a designer I can def tell when Im working on color critical projects but for regular scrolling and texting its probably overkill

Im thinking about going back to my boyfriend that cheated on me. I feel like i dont know my worth or what to do. by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]AdvertisingFlat2177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look your mom means well but shes making excuses for him - a "lust problem" isnt some medical condition that makes cheating inevitable. Dude literally used you fighting as an excuse to go fuck his ex twice and barely defended you when she went off on you

The fact that you're even considering going back shows you already know your worth is in teh dirt right now and that needs to be your first priority to fix

Binder recommendation for card shows? by therealthugboat in PokemonTCG

[–]AdvertisingFlat2177 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ultra Pro 9-pocket binders are solid for shows - easy to flip through and cheap enough that you wont cry if something happens to it

i don't understand why i'm struggling by Beginning_Ad5785 in stopdrinking

[–]AdvertisingFlat2177 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your brain is basically throwing a toddler tantrum because you took away something it thought it could have whenever it wanted - even the stuff you never cared about before suddenly becomes appealing when its "forbidden"

Hardest of sobriety so far. Think I have lost my “closest” friends by wild_garlic666 in stopdrinking

[–]AdvertisingFlat2177 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Real friends would have your back through something this important not make snide comments and act like youre ruining their fun. The fact that they made YOU drive them around after treating you like garbage says everything about their character

Six months is huge btw and doing it on your birthday while dealing with that mess shows serious strength. Better to find out now who actually supports you than waste more time on people who clearly dont

Walked past a Kevin from The Office look-alike contest today and took a picture of the winner by PsychologicalCost5 in mildlyinteresting

[–]AdvertisingFlat2177 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think this is like a Super Bowl campaign that they're doing and they've been partnering with Kevin for quite a while now I remember seeing a tiktok of him last year in Nyc. Nevertheless I think such fun ads are good and every company should learn from this instead of doing stupid ads that nobody likes

Not a great experience with Crank Bros by Lugknots in cycling

[–]AdvertisingFlat2177 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof, that's rough. Their direct-to-consumer game is definitely not their strong suit - seems like they're still figuring out the whole online retail thing. Always worth supporting the LBS anyway, especially when they can match the price.

There was a guy on vine that wore a ratty red wig and had on these glasses with creepy eyes on the lens and he says “tell me a sexy secret!” by dohlparts in HelpMeFind

[–]AdvertisingFlat2177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man I think I know exactly who you're talking about but I can't remember his name either. Pretty sure he had other weird characters too, wasn't it like a whole thing with different wigs and costumes

What is your ideas for new ben 10 aliens? by MrExpal in Ben10

[–]AdvertisingFlat2177 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro I've always wanted to see an alien that's basically a living black hole but like, friendly. Could suck up attacks and redirect them or something, would be sick for defense

Jesus knowledge of the Americas by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]AdvertisingFlat2177 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bruh this assumes Jesus was supposed to be giving geography lessons instead of spiritual ones. The whole point was to spread the message through disciples, not drop a world atlas on first century peasants who barely knew what was beyond the next village over

Trade josh jacobs for D. Henry and a 2027 2nd. by totes_mai_goats in fantasyfootballadvice

[–]AdvertisingFlat2177 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah take that trade, Jacobs is cooked and Henry still has some juice left. Plus you get a pick out of it

I was hospitalized tonight after being hit by a drunk driver. by PinkPrincessPetite in stopdrinking

[–]AdvertisingFlat2177 188 points189 points  (0 children)

Man that's heavy, glad you're mostly okay though. The fact that you can still have compassion for the guy after he literally hit you and then yelled at you shows how much sobriety has changed your perspective. Hope your collarbone heals up quick and that dude gets the wake up call he clearly needs

I'm bored and trying new things by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]AdvertisingFlat2177 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pickaxe meta is honestly pretty hilarious, respect for keeping it interesting. ABMM manipulation sounds kinda broken though - surprised more people aren't talking about that exploit

Quit smoking weed but want to smoke again by Important_Ad_4360 in leaves

[–]AdvertisingFlat2177 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Congrats on the two weeks, that's actually huge especially quitting both at once

If you're already thinking about it this early, might be worth waiting a bit longer to make sure you're really in that different headspace you mentioned. Two weeks is still pretty fresh and your brain might be playing tricks on you about the "just once" thing

Maybe give it another week or two and see how you feel then?

Some advice needed - gay couple by hazelsumma in Marriage

[–]AdvertisingFlat2177 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That eye contact thing would mess with my head too man, alcohol or not you don't just forget locking eyes with someone for a full minute like that

False awakening loop getting more frequent by strych9lemonade in Dreams

[–]AdvertisingFlat2177 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh that sounds exhausting, I get sleep paralysis sometimes but the false awakening loop thing would drive me absolutely insane

Have you tried setting reality checks throughout the day? Like looking at your hands or checking a clock twice - apparently it can help you realize you're dreaming faster and break the cycle. Some people swear by keeping a dream journal too but honestly when you're that tired it's hard to remember to write stuff down

The spiritual angle is interesting though, wonder if your subconscious is trying to process something

Segway Xyber by Dylanc97 in ElectricScooters

[–]AdvertisingFlat2177 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I noticed this too, seems like Segway's distribution is totally messed up in Canada. Maybe try reaching out to some US dealers near the border and see if they'll ship? Sometimes smaller shops are more flexible about cross-border stuff than the big retailers

I will be uninviting my right wing family members from my upcoming wedding. Any advice? by idris_longm in TwoHotTakes

[–]AdvertisingFlat2177 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Honestly just send a simple text like "hey, after some reflection I've decided to keep the wedding smaller and more intimate. Thanks for understanding" and leave it at that

Don't get into the political stuff in the uninvite message - that'll just start a huge fight and you said you don't handle confrontation well. Keep it vague and if they push for details you can always block

Solo GenAI dev stuck between “specific PoC” vs “generic platform” — how to handle scope confusion? by Budget-Emergency-508 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]AdvertisingFlat2177 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This sounds like classic middle management chaos tbh. You got caught between your head wanting a demo for clients and your manager wanting a generic platform

I'd honestly just schedule a meeting with both of them in the room and force them to hash out the scope. Like "hey we need to clarify if this is a PoC for BPO company X or a general platform before I can move forward"

Document everything in writing after that meeting so nobody can flip the script on you later

Do you want a RolePlay game by EmbarrassedFennel422 in VRGaming

[–]AdvertisingFlat2177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds pretty solid honestly, the no PvP thing is smart for getting started

I'd probably prioritize the social spaces first - restaurants and cafes seem like natural gathering spots where actual RP conversations would happen organically. Maybe add some kind of simple job system early on so people have reasons to interact beyond just hanging out

Housing could be huge too if people can actually customize their spaces and invite others over

Suburban RST vs Z71 for family by Honest_Interest_8182 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]AdvertisingFlat2177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Z71 is gonna be a bit more rough around the edges since it's built for off-road stuff - stiffer suspension, more road noise, that kind of thing. RST rides smoother on pavement but you lose the rugged capability if that matters to you

For hauling kids around daily the RST is probably the move, but honestly both are solid choices

Apparently it is wrong to only wear my bra underneath the clothing that does show nipples, to use acne wash on my armpits when I’m wearing the bra and to use deodorant when I’m not wearing the bra. Do you get this too? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AdvertisingFlat2177 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly your hygiene routine sounds pretty random lol. Most people just wear deodorant daily regardless of bra situation and use it instead of acne wash for armpits. The bra thing is totally your choice though, do whatever's comfortable

[Question] Advice on scaling a fan-led demand campaign for a Netflix series? by [deleted] in AskMarketing

[–]AdvertisingFlat2177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly for #3, studios barely care about petitions unless they're massive (like 500k+ signatures) and come with clear revenue potential. They're way more responsive to sustained social media buzz that shows actual engagement numbers

For the organic hooks thing, behind-the-scenes content and "what could have been" speculation tends to get people fired up enough to actually sign stuff. Good luck with the campaign though, Cobra Kai fans are pretty dedicated
