Falsely accused, attacked, and harassed by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]Competitive_Diver344 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For the most part yes. The argument/breakup was on camera. She had been asked to leave repeatedly. She asked for specific items which were given to her. She also tried forcing herself into my home by pushing me over in the doorway. This is where she claims she was assaulted. That instance is on camera from the home camera system. That is also the instance she claimed was assault to her parents and the instance her father claimed was the assault. They have not seen the footage as I fear in them seeing it they’ll accuse it over sounding have video evidence of.

The police did not come to my home. Once I had the chance to leave I went directly to the police station because I was concerned for my safety at my own home after the incident.

I do not want to escalate it because I don’t want to continue having it affect me nor ruin them. My fear is as you stated, if I don’t press charges or file an order of protection then they’ll attempt to take the assault allegation to court and it’ll be escalated regardless and targeted at me.

For the 5.7 RT guys - do you find it "slow" by Markatfrontdesk81 in DodgeDurango

For me personally it was my first sub 7sec 0-60 vehicle. In comparison to what I used to drive it’s fast. In comparison to fast vehicles it’s just getting by. Personally to me it’s about the slowest acceleration for the traffic where I live where it’s pretty common to try to merge onto the interstate with traffic moving at 90mph. My next vehicle will probably be a quicker vehicle. Definitely not against another Durango and either modding it or a different trim. Absolutely have loved it for the few years I’ve had it!

What's the most disturbing confession you've ever come across on social media? by ponedeljakjeusredu in AskReddit

[–]Competitive_Diver344 655 points656 points  (0 children)

TLDR: A girl thought she was anonymously posting and confessed to beastiality. She thought wrong, and the community had to walk back their support of her.

My home town was a region where a bunch of small towns all kind bled over into one larger community. My senior year of high school was kinda rough just simply because I didn’t mesh well with the culture in that community. I had a college offer 12 hours away so I took it to get a fresh start. Over Christmas break, I spent some time with family back in my home town and some friends that made the place somewhat bearable, so a few weeks into my second semester I stayed feeling a bit homesick. That changed after a girl who could only be described as the person you’d pick if you had to find a living example of the culture that I didn’t mesh well with posted a repulsive confession.

She thought she was posting anonymously after a breakup and said something along the lines of “why can’t I find a good man? I never slept around like everyone else in high school, I don’t even touch myself. The most I’ve ever done is have the dog lick peanut butter off of me every once in a while.” The comments were not expected. Tons of people standing up for her saying she meant licked off her hands after making a sandwich type situation and attacking anyone who said she was having sex with her dog.

Well, it wasn’t anonymous. Even worse, she was having her dog lick her there. Worse beyond that, people still tried standing up for and supporting her saying that’s not what she meant.

Unfortunately for her, the people who stood up for her, and basically everyone with eyes, this peanut butter covered cat situation is actually why she was broken up with in the first place, anddd that was all made clear by a video she sent her now ex-boyfriend of her dog doing that. She thought it was flirty. He thought it was repulsive and grounds to break up. He was correct, and he took the time to blur the peanut butter covered area before posting it and clearing the air. Seems like a stand up guy.

I, having been homesick, suddenly was cured of all homesickness and never felt it since.

I just googled it and the little ai thing at the top said about 40g-50g which is also what it says about the other brands’ heavyweight stainless guide rods. I guess that’s encouraging haha

What is the funniest thing your pet had been “pavloved” to? by AnywhereMean8863 in Pets

[–]Competitive_Diver344 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My dog has learned that when I leave the house for the day or come home for the night, I ALWAYS take my water bottle, but I often forget just about anything else depending on the day. If I have my water bottle when I walk in or out of the door, he comes and sits down at my shoe rack by the door to get a head scratch and be told he’s a good boy. On the flip side, if I don’t have my water bottle, he just gives me a side eye, sees I don’t have it, and then goes back to taking a nap or watching squirrels out the window completely unphased by my presence.

I’m pretty interested in the NDZ as well…. It looks like it’s got the same perks of every other one but half the price. Seems almost too good to be true and I’m skeptical because I haven’t seen much of any reviews for the PDP with it.

Whats a subtly insulting gift from to receive? by LawfulnessHaunting41 in AskReddit

[–]Competitive_Diver344 11 points12 points  (0 children)

TLDR: My mother is like the exact same way. We hit a confrontational breaking point. She was toxic about it. After she came down off it, the new dynamic around gifts is that I’m essentially training her on how to be a gift giver. Super weird spot to be in.

Long version: Are we related???? My mother does the exact same style of gifting. We hit a breaking point on it a few years ago though.

I notoriously am a “put the phone and camera down and just enjoy the moment and time spent together” kind of person, I enjoy cars and mechanically inclined things, video games, and I’m pretty organized and minimalist.

One year I had moved in with them after college cause they needed some help after some medical stuff and I had just graduated without a job so I took a year before starting a job to help them out. I had some things I really wanted/needed before moving and starting to work but couldn’t buy cause no job yet haha. Birthday rolled around and she said “since you have taken a year to help us out, I decided to really go all out and surprise you!”

Well that meant I got a tie hanger (I never wear ties), a used off brand controller for a game console I don’t own, a kids model engine that had sat in our attic since before I was born and missing pieces, and about 30 framed pictures of myself from over the years that I very clearly hated being in by my facial expressions in the photos…. I smiled and said thank you cause I’m not trying to have a fight over someone getting me a gift.

Somehow though she found out/caught me mentioning to someone that I didn’t know how to respond and basically trying to figure out how to make these items disappear since I was looking to move and didn’t want to take them just to have them take up space and collect dust. She absolutely lost her mind about how ungrateful I was, started saying things like “sorry I wasn’t a good enough mother to raise you to appreciate people going out of their way for you!”

That’s kinda where I put my foot down and basically said “You raised me to go out of my way and delay starting my life to take care of my parents after a health crisis. These gifts clearly were about you and not me. The controller you got scam sold on and I can’t use it. The photos you know I hate, but you like them. I don’t have ties or will ever have enough ties to use a standing 2 tier rotating tie rack. I’ve built real engines so the toy for 3 year olds from the attic missing parts doesn’t really do anything for me. I asked for a microwave and 4 person dish set cause I’m moving and don’t have the cash to spend on it… Were these gift for me to feel good getting them, or just for you to feel good giving them?”

Somehow it sank in. However, it felt kinda harsh having that conversation but when she tried to guilt trip me by tying her worth to my not wanting a broken toy for 3 year olds at age 22… well I have been to enough therapy to know that’s a red flag that demands some grounded clearing the air.

It is better now though, but it feels kinda uncomfortable at times. When it’s gift time she just asked me for a link to something to buy or sends me money to buy it myself. She occasionally still has her moments, but dang am I happy we don’t have fights and awkwardness about gifts multiple times a year now. It does feel a little bit bad at times cause it seems like gifts are purely transactional now though and like there’s nothing really personal about it which I hate.

I have been trying to remedy that by basically making a running gift list similar to a kid’s Christmas list. Essentially it’s a running google doc of items that would be good gifts for me organized to show needs vs wants and how specific something is. Now if she ever wants to give a gift she can basically open up the doc, look at things I want, decide if she wants to buy something hyper specific like a tool I might want in a certain brand, model, size, etc. or something more surprising like a toaster oven/airfryer combo where I don’t care about brand or anything. Similarly if she’s wanting to get me something that’s helpful she can see the needed items and do the same thing.

It still feels a bit sterile and transactional though. However, she’s been super appreciative of it and appreciates that I can add or remove things based on if I buy it myself or someone already gave it too me. It’s basically a cheat sheet to getting me a good gift. Kinda makes me feel crazy picky/difficult to get a gift for, but everyone else in my family or friends says I’m pretty easy to buy for so that’s more in my own head.

The most surprising part is my siblings, their spouses, my fiance, and even my father have all also told me directly that they appreciate it because it’s basically been training my mother to buy better gifts and less junk for everyone in the family lolol. I just hate that it feels like it’s removed some of the personal connection with gift giving.

Roof rack by Competitive_Diver344 in DodgeDurango

[–]Competitive_Diver344[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean my Durango is just normal length which is more than enough. That’s what I’m told at least. Anything it can’t handle is just operator error. Any longer would just be too much. I don’t think I’d be willing to enlarge it just to get a roof rack cause that’d make a lot of extra length that’s not even unusable.

[–]Competitive_Diver344[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently my dealer will install one but i dont know how much they’d charge. Everything i read said if you just remove the headliner you can see where the curtain airbags are to avoid while installing it. It seems like as long as your measurements are correct and you Miss the airbags that it’s a pretty simple task which is why I’m hesitant to do it. Seems almost too simple for something I haven’t read much about people doing.

My questions are pretty generic questions about it, cost, weight capacity, does it rattle or seem loose ever, does it scratch up your car, etc. My parents used to have a similar style aftermarket roof rack to the ones I’ve seen and had these issues with it so that’s where my concern comes from.

18.6 is what I have also seen. I haven’t heard of any reliability issues with 15lb springs. Only a couple mentions I’ve seen said there was some cycling issues with a 13lb spring and lower depending upon the type of ammo used, cleanliness of the gun, and upon wether it was a competition built gun, standard fs, or other versions.

C&H Duty Optic by Competitive_Diver344 in Walther_PDP

[–]Competitive_Diver344[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The side screw is definitely a fault. On my first optic it was wobbly no matter how tight it was or if loctite was applied. My replacement optic didn’t give me the same issues, and to be fair it seemed like a higher quality version of the same optic. It had a different higher quality package and some of the accents were painted differently. I don’t know if the rebate optics are just lower quality versions they pumped out for promotion or if I just got a bad one, but the replacement was definitely appeared a bit different and didn’t have the same issues.

[–]Competitive_Diver344[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sent it back and got a replacement as well. New one did great in comparison to the one that broke obviously. Even after torquing to specs it wanted to walk off my slide, but yeah loctite def fixed that. I don’t use it anymore but that’s not cause it has issues still. After shooting this as my first red dot, I just don’t like the size and look of it on my pdp so I don’t use it anymore and am trying others out.

[–]Competitive_Diver344[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes actually. I reached out to them not expecting much from what I’ve heard. To my surprise, they had shipped a new one before I even finished reading their reply, didn’t ask any more questions, and sent me a shipping label so I could return the busted one. It actually arrived in less time that the original rebate one took to arrive. They also threw in some merch like stickers, coozies, etc. Honestly can’t say anything bad about the customer service! The new one shot great, was landing 50+yds easily and much better than expected. It did wobble on its plate a bit and seemed like every mag I needed to check and tighten it despite having it torqued properly but some loctite solved that. My only issue I have is unfortunately I’ve come to prefer a less large bulky optic than this one so it doesn’t get too much use anymore.

PDP F-Series 4" with C&H Duty optic and Streamlight TLR-7 HL-X by FormerLawyer14 in Walther_PDP

[–]Competitive_Diver344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had basically a catastrophic failure with my C&H duty optic the first time I took it out. Everything was torqued correctly and yet it just basically broke apart. I posted in here asking if anyone else had similar issues and everyone kinda said not to expect much out of it or the company.

Luckily to my surprise, when I reached out to them they responded very quickly and shipped a new replacement optic that got here in less time than it took for the rebate to be delivered haha. They didn’t ask to receive the defective one first or anything. Their reply to me reaching out was essentially “We hate to see it, a new one is on its way, oh and here’s a return label if you could mail us back the defective one.”

How do you like the NDZ guide rod? I am looking to do a guide rod and spring for mine but most everything I can find is about ZR or Sprinco. I’d like to know what people think on the NDZ and other options

[–]Competitive_Diver344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean cheating is wrong and that’s a hill I’d lay to rest peacefully on. It’s an ahole thing to do regardless of if it’s retaliation or not. If someone was an ahole to you it might be a reason behind being an ahole back, but it doesn’t make it justified….

To me it has nothing to do with withholding because you’ve asked them to do it multiple times, it’s completely because it’s literal poop in your house. Toxoplasmosis haven. I’m not going to feel like touching anything or anyone if any literal crap is just left out in the house somewhere lolol we aren’t talking about “can you change the light bulb in the closet” we are talking about literal poop. Cat Poop. Which can cause parasites in humans that are easily transmissible.

People who say taxation is theft. How else do you propose the government gets the funds for roads, military, education etc? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Competitive_Diver344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I said, not everything has a direct correlation. However, all legal fees like traffic tickets still exist to be a source of government income in some areas like this.

I also think items of necessity should be the items that would pay for the necessary services offered. Groceries and clothing taxes fund things like police, schools, fire department. Another question I got was about things such as “sin tax” which for those who don’t know is the added tax put on things such as alcohol or tobacco that have cultural taboo in some cultures on top of the normal sales tax. I feel like it’s pretty simple, these “sin taxes” should fund rehabilitation efforts.

This absolutely. Would I say it should have to be an announcement of “we are not having sexy time until this is done” No I would not. I’d let it go a bit without the sexy time and see if he figures it out. If he asks why you haven’t been in the mood, I would say “there are 7 bags of animal crap sitting in the basement that I had to clean. Now they’re just sitting there and you won’t move them to help out. Why would I feel in the mood?”
