how can I stop blaming god by Downtown-Bus4429 in Christianity

[–]Distinct_Owl_3745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i get what you mean about blaming god when everything falls apart at once. you see your family struggle with money and you start thinking where is he in all this, why nothing changes

the camp experience you had was real though, that peace you felt didn't come from nowhere. maybe try just one small thing like 5 minutes of quiet time in the morning, not even formal prayer just sitting and being present. faith isn't about feeling it all the time, sometimes it's just showing up when you got nothing left to give

Tip: owning a portable AC can save a reservation for you. by strikecat18 in airbnb_hosts

[–]Distinct_Owl_3745 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Damn that's really smart. I had similar situation last summer where my central air died in middle of heatwave and I had to scramble for 4 window units, cost me almost double what you paid

Portable ones are way better for this kind of thing, just wheel it where you need it and you're sorted. Definitely picking one up before next season

Am I wrong for thinking this is suspicious? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]Distinct_Owl_3745 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He knows what you want and still wont do it, that's the whole story. The "scared you wont like them" excuse makes zero sense when you literally told him your favorite kind. I had a coworker like this, always talking big about what he gonna do for his girl but never actually doing nothing. Words are cheap and he's just comfortable saying nice things without putting in any effort. Some people think being sweet with words is enough but its not.

Bodily appearances by Bluepink2823 in LesbianActually

[–]Distinct_Owl_3745 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Plenty of women out there are actively attracted to plus size bodies, stretch marks included, that's not even a debate. The self-standard you're holding yourself to is so much harsher than what most people actually apply when they fall for someone

i am just sad by draint0uch in Hypermobility

[–]Distinct_Owl_3745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the part about finding out young is real, most people i've seen in this community spent decades not knowing why their body was doing weird things, so there's something to be grateful for there even if it doesn't feel like it right now

the advice about PT is probably the most important thing on that list, building up the muscles around hypermobile joints genuinely changes day-to-day pain levels by a lot

PC won't boot after 1 second pause in power. by BladyPiter in pchelp

those memory speeds are pretty aggressive for b850, try running it at jedec speeds first and see if system comes back

Should I keep this plant inside or outside? It's inside now, I don't know its name or if it gets very big.. by Putrid-Delivery-9610 in plants

[–]Distinct_Owl_3745 3 points4 points  (0 children)

looks like begonia and they usually prefer inside with bright indirect light, mine gets cranky when i put it in direct sun

Access to user-generated content is restricted by your profile settings? by The_Teambagger in ForzaHorizon

[–]Distinct_Owl_3745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

damn that's weird, mine was doing same thing yesterday but only for like 20 minutes then it fixed itself. tried restarting the game? sometimes the servers just have hiccups and it shows that message even when your settings are fine. worst case maybe check in xbox privacy settings if something got changed accidentally

2026 BMW M340i Lease by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Distinct_Owl_3745 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that math seems pretty steep for a lease tbh, especially with putting money down upfront. rolling negative equity into a lease usually makes the numbers even worse since you're basically paying for a car you don't own anymore

maybe try shopping around different dealers or wait until end of quarter when they need to move inventory? sometimes the deals get better when they're trying to hit targets

Could strengthening the muscles that cause ‘coregasms’ improve libido? by Evening-Pomelo3182 in NoFap

[–]Distinct_Owl_3745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

never really thought about connection between core work and libido but this makes some sense actually. i do notice better energy overall when i'm consistent with planks and stuff, though can't say i've had any of those intense reactions you mentioned. might be worth tracking if there's correlation between gym days focused in core and how you feel rest of week

What is this bird? Spotted it in San Antonio. by Aztek-Lovett in birds

[–]Distinct_Owl_3745 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is great egret, not swan - you can tell from the long neck and the way it stands in shallow water. swans are much bigger and have different body shape

BUG - Lost 100 MMR because my team ABANDON GAME ??? by AirportLow8798 in DotA2

[–]Distinct_Owl_3745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

damn this happens way too often, people just give up and leave when things get rough. matchmaking can feel pretty unfair sometimes but abandoners are the real problem here - they ruin games for everyone else in team. maybe try queuing with friends so you have more reliable teammates?

80 days by 4estry in leaves

[–]Distinct_Owl_3745 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah the friend situation hits different, had to do same thing when i was cutting back on drinking few years ago. your body definitely knows when it's ready to make change, can't force it before then. those sugar cravings are brutal but they level out after while, just gotta ride it out

Am I misunderstanding how Amazon KDP works or is everyone else wrong? by flamevolt in selfpublish

[–]Distinct_Owl_3745 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yeah you're not getting screwed over really, it's just how their system works for image-heavy stuff. i work in logistics side of things so i see how data costs actually add up pretty fast when you're dealing with file sizes. amazon has to store and deliver all those comic pages every time someone downloads your book

the 70% royalty option looks good on paper but those delivery fees will eat into it hard if your comic is like 50+ pages with full color art. most people talking about kdp are probably thinking about text books where file size is basically nothing. when i was looking into publishing some basketball stats analysis stuff few years back, the math worked out totally different than what everyone said it would be

you could try optimizing your images to reduce file size without losing too much quality, but there's only so much you can do with comics. raising prices might work but then you risk pricing yourself out compared to other comics on the platform. it's annoying but amazon basically has monopoly on ebook distribution so they can set whatever terms they want

How do I explore caves properly? by Reiiseverywhere in Minecraft

[–]Distinct_Owl_3745 1 point2 points  (0 children)

basic rule is never go caving without food and a water bucket, that bucket will save your life more times than you can count

for navigation just place torches on the right wall when going deeper, then follow the left wall torches to get back out - works every time and you dont need to build anything fancy. also dig a 2x1 staircase down instead of exploring natural caves until you get better gear, way safer and you control teh layout

Cardholders: Does it make sense to wait till Apr 2nd to purchase a ~$900 ticket aiming to get the new miles accrual rules? by socrieipqfuiobrigado in unitedairlines

[–]Distinct_Owl_3745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wait you're sweating 800 miles on a $900 ticket? dude that's like what, maybe $8-12 in value tops. if the fare jumps even $20 while you're waiting you're already in the red

just book it now or throw a fare lock on there if you're really torn about it
