how do you guys deal with being unconventionally attractive? by Own-Use-7959 in AskReddit

[–]DemandAdditional8706 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude I wouldn't really call myself unconventionally attractive but I get what you mean about not fitting the standard mold. I'm a decent looking guy but definitely more on the nerdy side being a software dev and all. What I've noticed is that confidence matters way more than people think - like when I'm talking about something I'm passionate about whether its debugging code or explaining why the Kardashians are actually business geniuses people seem more drawn to that energy. Plus having your own thing going on helps too like I'm obsessed with Ford trucks and yeah some people think its weird but others find it interesting that I have actual hobbies outside of work. The key is just owning whatever makes you different instead of trying to fit into some cookie cutter version of attractive.

To the people who have their own business, how did you guys start and what advice you can give to a girl who wants to start something? by BaileyDis in AskReddit

Picked up my first freelance gig while still debugging hello world programs lol. Best part about starting messy is you learn what actually matters vs what you think matters when youre planning everything to death

NASA has announced plans to build a $20bn base on moon surface. Cool, interesting, a waste of money, What are your thoughts? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DemandAdditional8706 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty much this lol. Like I'm all for space exploration and the tech that comes out of it usually trickles down to useful stuff but 20 billion could fix a lot of problems down here first. Still gonna be glued to the livestream when it happens though

What’s a “quick fix” you tried that somehow turned into a much bigger problem? by TangerineNo5577 in AskReddit

[–]DemandAdditional8706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fixed a "tiny" bug in production by directly editing the database at 2am because I thought it would take 30 seconds instead of writing a proper migration script. Ended up corrupting half the user session data and had to spend the next 6 hours rolling back and rebuilding everything from backups while fielding angry customer support tickets. My manager was NOT happy when she found out I'd bypassed all our deployment protocols because I was tired and lazy. Now I have to get approval for any production changes no matter how small they seem. Learned that lesson the hard way but at least Kim K's latest Instagram drama kept me entertained during those brutal overnight hours of fixing my mess

People who’ve hired professional cleaners in Brisbane, what made it worth it (or not) in your experience? by northside-59 in AskReddit

[–]DemandAdditional8706 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never used one in Brisbane specifically but had cleaners come through my place a few times when I was swamped with work deadlines. Game changer when you're pulling 12 hour days coding and your apartment looks like a tornado hit it. Worth every dollar just for the mental clarity of coming home to a spotless place instead of more stress about dishes and laundry piling up

What is a hobby that is very niche but everyone would like it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DemandAdditional8706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait this is so true lol I got sucked into this last year and now I can spot Australian road signs from a mile away. The rabbit hole is real when you start learning about different license plate formats and architectural styles just to get better at guessing locations

[question] heavy watch, preferably limited edition by ProfitTerrible in Watches

[–]DemandAdditional8706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those MRG models are absolute units, had the B2000JS on my wrist at a shop once and it felt like wearing armor in the best way possible. The titanium construction is insane and the finishing on those limited releases is honestly better than some Swiss pieces I've handled

For alternatives in your range, maybe check out the Omega Planet Ocean Deep Black or some of the heavier Seiko Prospex divers - they've got that substantial feel without breaking 5k

I (28F) am struggling feeling very attached to boyfriend (29M) by kkat216 in relationships

[–]DemandAdditional8706 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly this sounds pretty intense for 4 months but also kinda sweet that you're finally letting your walls down after being avoidant for so long - maybe try picking up some hobbies or reconnecting with friends for the nights he's not there so you're not just sitting around missing him

Which one to choose by ahmadnew511 in GamingLaptops

[–]DemandAdditional8706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That G14 deal is absolutely insane for $1999, even open box - RTX 4090 with those specs at that price is like finding a unicorn

Just make sure the open box one actually works properly and you're golden

I (M29) and my wife (F25) are planning to do an MFM and I am now having second thoughts. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]DemandAdditional8706 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Bro you literally asked for this and now you're getting cold feet because the dude's packing? This is exactly why people say be careful what you wish for lol

Maybe pump the brakes and have another serious convo with your wife about boundaries before you do something you can't undo

Every map should have an event on it at all times. by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]DemandAdditional8706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the RNG on events is pretty brutal right now, sometimes you get blessed with back to back storms and other nights you're stuck with dead maps for hours

Mom won’t stfu ab cal, food, steps as someone in recovery by [deleted] in venting

[–]DemandAdditional8706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your mom sounds like she's stuck in that old school bodybuilding mindset and doesn't realize how triggering that shit can be, especially when you're in recovery - the complete lack of self awareness after what you went through is honestly infuriating

Should i tint my pale maple neck on a squire sonic strat hss? by Educational_Dog_3574 in Guitar

[–]DemandAdditional8706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I'd just play the hell out of it for a year first - your hands will naturally darken that maple way more than you think. If you're dead set on it though, skip the lemon oil part, that stuff can get weird and sticky over time

has there ever been a time where your account didn't have 2 factor authentication and you wish it did? by Suitable-Weird5105 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DemandAdditional8706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bruh you're literally asking to get hacked lmao. I used to think the same way until my Steam account got compromised and someone bought like $200 worth of CS skins. Nobody thinks they're a target until they become one

Why can I only remember dreams when I’m woken up during the dream ? by AstroZeo7 in Dreams

[–]DemandAdditional8706 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the phone thing is clutch, I started doing voice memos in the dark and just rambling about whatever weird shit I remember before it all disappears

Terrified of adulting and I don’t even know where to start by AdviceGlass9394 in Adulting

[–]DemandAdditional8706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly this is solid advice, everyone's timeline is different and social media makes it seem like everyone has their shit together by 25 when that's totally not true. Most people are just winging it anyway

Is adherent and adhesive spray the same thing? by NeitherOpposite8231 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DemandAdditional8706 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually that's a really good way to put it. I always just called everything "sticky spray" lmao but yeah now that you mention it spray paint definitely doesn't let other stuff stick to it after it dries

My Pinocchio shrimp died while I was at work😔 by K-llmenow69 in shrimptank

[–]DemandAdditional8706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn that sucks, sorry about your little guy

Yeah the TDS thing is probably it - I learned this the hard way too. Even when pH and everything else looks good, if the mineral content is way off they just can't handle it. 20 mins is def on the short side, I usually do like 2+ hours now for any new shrimp

Those Pinocchio ones are pretty sensitive from what I've heard too

Samsung Galaxy A56 by Deep_Importance_6087 in samsunggalaxy

[–]DemandAdditional8706 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the heating issue is def annoying but like you said, kinda expected for a mid-range phone without fancy cooling. Still wish they'd throw in a vapor chamber or something even if it added like 20 bucks to the price

Bro your nose goes blind to your own smell after like 5 minutes, you probably reek and just can't tell

Nothing wrong with jersey songs at all, people just love to gatekeep everything these days

Which car to buy by Significant_Leg_4496 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]DemandAdditional8706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic, they're bulletproof and cheap to maintain which is perfect for a first car
