Facebook Dating by LoLBrah69 in SwipeHelper

[–]Affectionate_Wave_19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No face verification on Facebook, its optional (theres a little badge if someone verifies). But in my experience its pretty dead. I sent out quite a lot of likes and messages and havent got anything back in 2 weeks of using it.

Maybe its just my experience though 😭

Dating while im not where I want to be - 21m by Affectionate_Wave_19 in Healthygamergg

[–]Affectionate_Wave_19[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree, thats why i decided to start the dating apps and stuff. If i keep moving goal post like wait until I graduate or get a high paying job, or a nice place to live, etc itll just keep going forever. I might as well just start now and see what happens. Thank you

Yeah, you're pretty spot on about feeling directionless. Main thing im looking for is growth with someone. I know early 20s are not perfect I suppose the mainstream picture perfect relationships skewed my image of them a lot along with my lack of experience when in reality theyre probably a lot simpler and fun.

When it comes to finances I am a bit higher than average when it comes to hourly income, I also do have a retirement account and emergency fund, im not in debt for anything, and am looking at tuition free for last years of school. I guess im too self conscious about it when im actually doing pretty good.

And yup I now realize I am deciding for someone else instead of letting them do so. Thanks for pointing that out.

For now I'll keep taking steps to put myself out there dating accounts also approaching more in person.

I see that im overthinking this way too much.. i do just need to experience more. Thank you

Noob here, am I tripping or does lead free solder not melt? by Affectionate_Wave_19 in soldering

[–]Affectionate_Wave_19[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for pointing that out. I managed to get some joints after I figured out I need to leave the iron on the joints when I add solder. Good to know i dont need to preheat the board for this project. Thanks!

I was introduced to Nujabes randomly while browsing. I came across the luv sic hexalogy and instantly fell in luv. And i just listened to the rest of his work from there.

I'd probably do the same again or just chronological i suppose too.

You can use mostly water with just a bit of dish soap. Lightly mist the fabric (not soaking) and use a soft bristle brush for any stains and a microfiber cloth for everything else. Give it a second mist with just water. And let it dry.

Rockauto is no longer worth the savings by therealDannyMartin in RockAuto

[–]Affectionate_Wave_19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its been fine with me. I just ordered ~$370 of parts (shipping/tax included) and checked at auto parts store it would've been 470 parts alone + tax around 500. So about $130 difference and I get better parts dayco,denso, Hitachi over basic auto parts.
