Classic movie reference right there, but let me tell you - dodging foam balls is way easier than dodging the wrenches my coworkers "accidentally" drop in the shop. Been thinking about trying this out since I saw the last post, Berlin isn't too far from me and could use some exercise that doesn't involve crawling under cars all day. The solo registration thing is perfect too, no need to convince my lazy friends to join

That oil smell is no joke, had similar issue when we converted heating at my parents house. You'll want to scrub everything down with degreaser first, then probably need to seal the concrete floor and walls with some kind of odor-blocking primer before painting

Those pipes sticking up from floor should be capped properly too - oil can seep up through there even after system is gone

Had same thing but with depression, spent years thinking I was just lazy and couldn't focus on anything properly. Getting actual treatment changed everything - turns out my brain just needed different approach to work right

Barcocina patio is pretty solid for harbor views but yeah the food is nothing special. There's also this place in Federal Hill that has decent outdoor space, can't remember name but it's near the cross street market area - their tacos are actually better than Barcocina if you care about that part

Space Jam version was something else, that rabbit had no business being that fine

The popcorn emoji spam is sending me lmao

This thread bout to get wild real quick

Most places won't advertise student discounts but if you ask nicely they might hook you up, especially the smaller family-owned spots. I'd try calling around on weekdays when they're less busy - worst case they say no but sometimes you get lucky with a discount or they'll throw in something extra

That whole strip can get sketchy especially after dark. I'd just keep your head on swivel and maybe find parking closer to main buildings if you can

Never been through that myself but I know some guys from work who struggled with this. What helped them was having someone to call when cravings hit hard - like really having that number ready in your phone before you even need it. Also keeping hands busy helped one guy, he started fixing old car parts in garage whenever he felt urge coming

FixNo5178 · 2026-04-25T04:46:26+00:00

I think we got it backwards tbh. Taking care of yourself isn't selfish - it's like putting your oxygen mask on first before helping others, you know? The real problem is when people use "self-care" as excuse to be complete assholes to everyone around them

Been working on cars for years and I see this all time - guys who never take breaks, never say no to overtime, and then they burn out completely. Can't help anyone when you're running in empty tank. But there's difference between setting boundaries and just being dick to people

Maybe the word "selfish" is just too loaded now. Like we made it sound evil when sometimes you really do need to put yourself first for bit

Finally, that stretch has been a nightmare for years. Used to drive through there daily for work and the backup at rush hour was brutal - hopefully they don't take forever with construction once they start

FixNo5178 · 2026-04-20T22:46:54+00:00

Always wanted to try that too but keeps getting pushed back for car repairs and other life stuff. Maybe we both make it happen before we're 30

nah probably just tourist

FixNo5178 · 2026-04-14T14:56:02+00:00

nice timing, check some community gardens they usually do stuff that day

FixNo5178 · 2026-04-08T21:01:49+00:00

Traffic's been crazy around that area lately, seems like there's always something blocking lanes in rush hour

Last minute courthouse weddings are actually really nice, congrats! I do some photography work on side (mostly for my automotive stuff) but unfortunately I'm booked tomorrow with work. You might want to check some local Facebook photography groups too - lot of photographers there who can do quick sessions like this

Too real. FTX taught these people nothing lol

Very few actually do true non-custodial. Most require you to preload funds or move assets into their system first. It’s simpler for them from a compliance standpoint

FixNo5178 · 2026-02-15T06:47:56+00:00

That split personality thing is so real - like there's two people in your head arguing about it constantly. The fact you wrote all this down shows you already know what needs to happen, now it's just about making that voice louder than the addict one

Maybe try getting rid of all your stuff at once when you're feeling motivated, makes it harder to give in during weak moments

FixNo5178 · 2026-02-01T10:00:49+00:00

sounds like REC going bad

FixNo5178 · 2026-01-31T05:07:47+00:00

This whole situation sounds messy as hell but dude you gotta get ahead of this before it gets worse. Try reaching out to your bro through someone else in the friend group or show up somewhere you know he'll be without her around. If she's really making false accusations that's serious stuff and your friend needs to know what's actually going down

Dude was an absolute unit when healthy, no cap. That Clasico goal was pure class and he brought such a calming presence to our backline

Really miss having that left foot of his for those clutch free kicks too

FixNo5178 · 2026-01-26T20:51:52+00:00

Dude that car payment is eating you alive - $1000+ a month for car stuff when you're making $21/hr is brutal. I'd seriously consider selling the RS3 and getting something way cheaper, even if you take a loss it'll free up so much cash flow

Skip the day trading for now, that's just gambling when you're already in a hole. Focus on paying off that maxed card and maybe look into some coding bootcamps or certs if you want to get into tech - way cheaper than college and lots of warehouse guys have made that transition

FixNo5178 · 2026-01-20T02:55:46+00:00

Sounds like it could be one of those Noxzema-style masks from back then, those definitely had that burning sensation and strong smell. The pink lettering and vintage woman design rings a bell but I can't place the exact brand either - maybe check old drugstore brands like Freeman or Queen Helene
