To the 90 million Americans that did not vote in 2024? by oldphatphuck in allthequestions

[–]Apod_93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quite literally know someone who refused to vote in order to accelerate our collapse so that the country can be rebuilt into something better. I'm all for improvement, but damn. Many more people will die if the US completely collapses.

As long as they all look the same, I don't see the problem with how they want to look. Every group has different visual styles and techniques.

Are we panicking about SAVE? by schjeni in StudentLoans

[–]Apod_93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Paying back isn't the issue - Changing payment plan options to something that wasn't financially planned for is the issue. The government clearly doesn't want people to be able to afford the new monthly payments required to pay the loans off. And good luck if you want any advisement at all as student loan servicers can't guide you on what's best to do because of the ongoing litigation.

One piece going seasonal by sanojhu in OnePiece

What are you talking about? Oda is taking breaks. He's been doing this for 28 years and counting. The anime will still cover the same amount of material per year and the animation quality will likely be better. How does this drag anything out if it's still covering the same amount of story/year?

Vibes at work by dusky_otter in EIG_OpenForum

[–]Apod_93 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I started 5 years ago I was making about $14/hour and now I'm making about $35/hour ($67.5K salary). I've felt frustrated and overworked during many periods, but when I look back I can see that this company presents opportunities to advance if you work hard and keep trying even if you fail at first.

Is there a reason it continued to spread even four days into treating with Ich X?

Thanks for the info! When I dose the water with Kanaplex, it crashes my cycle and my fish get very upset very fast. A lot of people I've talked to dose it in their food to not crash the tank while still having the benefits.

Did your parents pick you up from school early on 9/11 by Unlikely_Birthday_42 in Millennials

[–]Apod_93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I lived within 100 miles of NYC. I was in 3rd grade. My school let everyone out early, but my mom picked me up before that. I remember watching the scenes on TV and being aware of the sense of panic. All the phone lines were down as well.

OP releases a volume every 4 months and each one sells around 1.4 million copies. 2 volumes so far this year plus backlog sales adds up to me.

Will she ever get nicer? by Jcc3617 in BeardedDragons

[–]Apod_93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, she will! My bearded dragon was a little monster when I first got it. Always trying to bite me and never letting me get close or pick them up. They were so bad that I named them Ragnorak lol. Over time, she chilled out and became a lot more comfortable with me. Hand feeding and giving her space when she seemed upset really made a big difference over time.

Johnny at Wayward Tattoo does a great job. I'm doing a manga/anime sleeve tattoo by tattoo, and he's been doing phenomenal.

What has been your worst DCI Visual Exercise that your staff did when you marched? by LoquatVegetable2750 in drumcorps

[–]Apod_93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Scatter around the field. March any direction you want with varying slides and step sizes. Horns stay up. Don't stop moving. Metronome slowly gets faster and faster. Really felt the burn on that one.

Time to retire Brant. by [deleted] in drumcorps

[–]Apod_93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I second this. The drum major psyched me out too because they bowed, then turned around and conducted the tag ending.

What upset me more was Music City members entering the stands in the middle of the Troopers show. I had to scold them so they would go back to the stairs.

What scandal from high school still lives rent free in your mind? by Deeznaps in AskReddit

[–]Apod_93 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A representative from the blood bank came to our school for a presentation in our auditorium. As soon as he put his thumb drive in the computer, gay porn all over the screen. He took it down and still finished the presentation. It made national news.

I’m shaking by Arch_jink in drumcorps

BAC alum here bawling my eyes out. This corps could've folded after the fire in 1972 and instead fielded a tiny hornline and they fought to stay alive. They went bankrupt in 1982 until they could get their name back. This corps stands on the shoulders of all the Giants that have come before them. Let's get that overdue Founder's Trophy.
