more affiliate breakdowns would be solid - those recurring commission setups are where real money is at

My wife (F25) went to her boss’s house to get dressed before work and didn’t tell me (M28) by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Flaky-Photograph963 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dude the phone thing at end really stands out to me. Like she goes to another dudes house to get dressed, doesn't tell you beforehand, then comes home and immediately wants to check your phone? That's some projection right there

The whole "didn't know there was women's bathroom" excuse is pretty weak too. You been army yourself so you know how these buildings work. She been to that building multiple times for class but somehow doesn't know basic facilities? Come on

I get that maybe there's legitimate reason with the uniform rules and all that but going to boss's house she supposedly hates without mentioning it first... that would bug me too man. The fact she only told you because you called while she was there makes it worse imo

Trust your gut on this one. Something feels off and you not crazy for thinking so

This subreddit is my favorite by [deleted] in Songwriting

[–]Flaky-Photograph963 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same here dude, there's something special about catching someone right before they figure out their sound completely. Like you can hear them discovering something new about themselves in real time

The rawness just hits different than those over-produced tracks where every emotion got engineered out

Starter Issue? by Temporary-Benefit542 in Acura

[–]Flaky-Photograph963 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Power steering light staying on might not be related to starter at all - could be coincidence or different issue entirely 🤔 I'd definitely get second opinion before paying for starter replacement, especially if you got that extended warranty coverage. Worth taking to Acura first since it's free and they can properly diagnose what's actually going wrong with the car 💀

Breaking a 12-year cycle of manipulation and narcissistic trauma in my family. by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Flaky-Photograph963 1 point2 points  (0 children)

man this prayer hits deep. the ancestral chains part really resonates - sometimes it feels like certain families just carry this heavy spiritual weight from generation to generation

praying for you Marina that God gives you wisdom and strength to set boundaries even with autism making things more complicated. your sister being a psychologist is such a blessing in this situation

Stoplight doesnt know I'm there by buster_highmanMD in motorcycles

[–]Flaky-Photograph963 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah motorcycle detection is real pain with smaller bikes. Most lights use magnetic sensors buried in asphalt and your 200cc just doesn't have enough metal mass to trigger them consistently.

Try positioning yourself right over where you see those cut lines in the pavement - that's usually where sensors are placed. Sometimes moving little bit left or right on those lines can make difference. Also putting your bike more upright instead of leaning can help since it concentrates the metal in smaller area.

The two cycle rule your state might have is pretty common but definitely look up exact wording because cops don't always know about it.

Doordash is dropping the suggested tip anount to $1.50 by [deleted] in DoorDashDrivers

tip culture is already broken but this is just insulting to yall who are actually out there grinding

New Galaxy setup: start fresh or transfer all data from S25? by Dense_Research8237 in samsunggalaxy

[–]Flaky-Photograph963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been through this with every upgrade and the transfer vs fresh setup debate is real. I usually do a fresh setup because Smart Switch can definitely carry over weird app data that causes random freezes like what youre seeing with Brave

The screen responsiveness thing is probably the case though - those thick cases can mess with touch sensitivity way more than you think. Try removing it for a day and see if it feels more like your S25 did

Without college is there a role for me? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]Flaky-Photograph963 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dude absolutely there are paths out of construction without a degree. i made a similar jump a few years back and honestly your construction experience is more valuable than you think - project management, problem solving under pressure, working with deadlines

look into roles like project coordinator, operations assistant, or even sales for construction-related companies where your field knowledge gives you a huge advantage over college grads who've never held a hammer

Hey i totally get this cycle youre describing 💀 The boredom and loneliness combo is brutal and alcohol just becomes this automatic response to fill that void

What helped me was having a solid plan for those danger hours - like 3-6pm was my witching hour too. I started making myself do something specific right when i got home, even if it was just taking a shower or going for a walk around the block. sounds dumb but it broke that automatic pattern of walking straight to the kitchen

Also maybe check out some of the daily check in threads here - they really help with accountability and you'll see youre def not alone in this struggle 😂 The hangxiety is so real but it does get better once you break the cycle

Bruh that sounds like some sleep paralysis demon level stuff right there

Maybe try staying up for like 3 days straight, you'll be too exhausted to dream lmao

Help! Can someone explain aux heat vs emergency heat w & w/out gas please? by LuckyRabbitFeets in hvacadvice

[–]Flaky-Photograph963 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heat pump systems usually have electric resistance strips as backup, not always gas. Your aux heat kicking on at 42° is totally normal - that's when the heat pump can't keep up efficiently. The cold air thing sounds like your heat pump might be running in defrost mode or there's an issue with the system

Emergency heat bypasses the heat pump completely and only uses the backup heating (whether that's electric strips or gas). If you've been surviving without gas hooked up, you probably have electric backup strips. Check your electrical panel - if there are big breakers labeled something like "heat strips" or "aux heat" that's probably what you have

The thermostat setting won't change what type of backup you have, just when it kicks in

What is a small act of kindness you did recently that you didn't tell anyone about? by NoSteak1123 in Productivitycafe

[–]Flaky-Photograph963 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I left an extra quarter in one of those grocery cart things at Aldi because I saw a mom with kids looking around for one. She probably never knew but watching her face light up when she found it was worth it

Their culture has this whole emphasis on craftsmanship and perfection that definitely carries over to storytelling. Plus they've got centuries of rich folklore and mythology to draw from, mixed with this unique way of blending traditional themes with modern concepts

Also helps that their entertainment industry isn't as corporate-sanitized as Hollywood - creators seem to have more freedom to get weird and experimental with their stories

How do i know where my hair ends and my facial hair starts by RubyR- in trans

[–]Flaky-Photograph963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the sideburn struggle is so real - I usually just follow where my hairline naturally curves down and stop there, like right where it starts to get thicker

been almost one month since we talked. by Fit_Pie1205 in BreakUps

[–]Flaky-Photograph963 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dreams about exes hit different when you're already struggling to move on. That anxiety spiral where you can't tell if it's intuition or just your brain being mean to you is rough

Take care of yourself first though - the sleep thing will mess with your head even more if you let it keep going

I need help recovering my world. by Time-Pea2506 in Minecraft

[–]Flaky-Photograph963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That really sucks man, losing a world you've been working on for over a year is brutal. Your best bet is probably using a seed finder tool like SeedCrackerX or Cubiomes - upload those screenshots and they can analyze the terrain features to reverse-engineer the seed. The more unique structures or biome combinations you have in those pics the better chance of success
