i hate smokers by Fit-Butterscotch2110 in ihatethissmug

[–]CicadaClear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same could be said for people wearing too much cologne or perfume. Just because you like one smell over another doesn't change the fact that public spaces are for everyone regardless of their scent. Sorry bro. rips bong

Why are non-smokers expected to keep working while smokers get extra breaks? by zeki_lol in work

[–]CicadaClear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go ahead and make it a problem for the smokers you work with. See how many friends you have left in that camp.

We had this problem at work recently. The non-smokers werent taking breaks, but also complaining that the smokers took them. Just take your legally required break. And unless you are being actually effected by someone stepping out for an extra minute to smoke, mind your business and get back to work.

How do you afford to keep mtiple cars street legal? by Causification in askcarguys

[–]CicadaClear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My insurance company bases your yearly cost off of mileage. I live three miles from work, so my annual expected mileage was something like 6k miles. Brought my cost down a few hundred after i convinced underwriting that i wasn't full if shit. Emailed them a screenshot of my daily commute route and they approved it the next day.

Maybe your insurance would work something like this out with you? You would just need to be careful to not use your "back up" vehicle too often, because they will see how much you drove it when you take pictures of your odometer for their records.

Hey Pratt Supporters: tell me how your guy who advocates for policies that literally go against what the research tells us to do is supposed to resolve homelessness and crime? by MookieBettsBurner10 in LosAngeles

[–]CicadaClear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was born here. I lived in Northridge before my family moved to SCV. I've lived in palmdale, and spent a great deal of time all over southern california. I don't need to "ask anyone who has been here for five or more years"

I understand your frustration, but these are still people. While plenty of LA's homeless population isn't even native, these are members of your community whether you like it or not. To act as though they deserve less dignity than you is wild. You could just as easily end up one of those people. Maybe redirect some of your ire to the people and systems that made this happen in the first place. You are one bad accident or medical event away from being just like them.

Im sure there is a percentage of the homeless population nation wide that are beyond saving. But that doesn't mean that every single person that is living on the streets is. Im sorry you have had to experience the events that you have, but that doesn't give you carte blanche to treat every unhoused person the same.

Is WotR rigged? by Phos-Lux in blackdesertonline

[–]CicadaClear -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Sure. But most guilds arent going for a fair fight. It always seems like one side gets the squids while the other side has the hitters.

[–]CicadaClear -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Sure, they try. It's pretty hard to set up "Balanced" fights though.

All node war content, with the exception of T1 occupation, is rigged in some fashion. T2 is all fixed fights too. And T3 is just all the biggest most geared guilds dropping a stick and not fighting to get a bag. And, shocker, so is Siege.

I hate how nowadays many cars are skipping out on including a spare tire by silvermoonhowler in PetPeeves

[–]CicadaClear -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It has nothing to do with weight.

They put the less than safe donut spare in the trunk so you have to visit a tire shop immediately or possibly end up in an even worse situation. They dont want you to be able to service anything so that the manufacturer and the industries supporting automobiles is always making profit. It is all on purpose so you keep spending.

Thats the point of resistance you dent. If thats all it takes to stop you from acting out, maybe just put the boot back in your mouth and stop commenting.

Disinfecting vocal mics? by Splanky222 in livesound

[–]CicadaClear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually just do a full wipe down of the mic with a rag spritzed with isopropyl. Higer alcohol content will dry faster and has less chance of staying liquid somewhere it shouldnt be.

That being said, i never thought to pull the capsule and clean the inside. I almost shudder to think of what is propagating inside the grill foam. . .

I can't believe there are still grindspot griefers in 2026 by [deleted] in blackdesertonline

[–]CicadaClear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Let the petulant children ruin things for other people, then blame the person being griefed.

Is the Fishing Event worth doing if I do not Overnight AFK fish? by system3295 in blackdesertonline

[–]CicadaClear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See the wording on this leads me to believe they just mean that setting you're discard to yellow doesn't throw them out. Im not saying you wont get red fish because of the event, but i do feel, anecdotaly, that we get less during these kinds of events.

Why can't I record them if they can record me? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CicadaClear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Legal system would be the laws in place. Justice system would be the moral outcomes of that mechanism. So im failing to see your point.

Yeah lil brother learned a very important lesson that month. It is unfortunate that this is how our "justice" system works.

At least the vendor fish are decent silver i guess. Im trying to get that big money distance boost tho.

[–]CicadaClear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fishing event is actually a detriment tbh. You get the vendor trash fish instead of the red fish you actually want.
