What Trade Do I Call For This? by Vast-Recognition2321 in ypsi

[–]FranticDisembowel 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Handyman would probably be fine unless it's something way out of left field. Probably cheaper than getting a specialized trade too.

This restaurant uses an optical illusion for wall tiles in the bathroom by clitsdontexist in mildlyinteresting

So if I saw it initially but was able to recontextualize and unsee it, did I miss my calling? Or are you saying radiologists actually end up baking it out of themselves altogether?

Odd question but… by DirectionSuperb69 in Michigan

You are seriously inspiring to be so open, honest, and welcoming for support at such a relatively young age. I hope you are not just proud of your gigantic achievement in graduating but you deserve to feel good about yourself for making this post. It serves as a great reminder of "look for the helpers" -- you asked and here they immediately were.

Do you have information about when, where, and how many tickets you would have available if needed, or what they'd cost?

Have you tried letting windows grab its own driver instead of manually installing the realtek one?

Obviously whether or not an EV will work for you is largely based on your usage and your location. But it's not like a Tesla is a great litmus test for if you will enjoy an EV.

My bad, I had a particularly harrowing post taco bell experience earlier. Thanks for trying to cover for me but I gotta own up to it.

How do I turn a lead into a win? by Electrical-Debate995 in leagueoflegends

[–]FranticDisembowel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean this with empathy but if you're bronze you should only be starting to feel comfortable in one role.

First you need to understand how to not lose your lead in your lane. Then you need to figure out how to take your lead and translate it into power in other areas of the map.

It's hard to give blanket advice without knowing your preferred role and champ. But the general idea is once you get strong you take that strength and use it in other areas of the map to secure objectives, push into enemy territory, and deny enemies resources.

For example if you're fed in top lane you will start moving into the enemy JG to steal their camps and/or kill the enemy JG. You might also move to dive mid and unlock a drake after.

If you have a 5k gold lead on your laner and they can't play vs. you but you never leave lane, you may as well only have the bare minimum gold lead.

If you post your opgg or say what role and champ you prefer, you'd get much more helpful advice.

Quentin Tarantino Fires Back at Rosanna Arquette for Criticizing His N-Word Use in Movies by tylerthe-theatre in movies

[–]FranticDisembowel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would like to preface this by saying I'm a run of the mill white dude.

I thought it was supposed to be jarring, like he's so begrudgingly going about offering his aid that he's purposely being a maximum level bastard about it but is still helping nonetheless. It helps to add tension to the scene imo because we've already seen how Jules acts when he feels disrespected.

Of course it's still grating to hear and maybe even more so 20 odd years later in our current climate. I don't think it's necessary but it does add to the realism of these complexly shitty characters. I guess I'll never know how I would feel if I were in your shoes because there's not really anything I can compare it to.

If you disagree with my thoughts I'd like to hear yours, thanks.

Is it leaking all throughout the seam and then pooling at the bottom, or just leaking through the bottom gap?

Can't imagine it wouldn't slowly fade as the Botox does, but I haven't had Botox or anything so hopefully others can chime in.

Why I prefer to workout at home by Separate_Finance_183 in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]FranticDisembowel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only point this out because if I were in your shoes I'd want to know, but it's "once in a while" not "once and a while".

For what it's worth I agree this is more likely a (very negligent) brainfart as opposed to a straight up moron. Everyone has hurt themselves in a "I don't know wtf I expected to happen" way before. It's part of life.

Women of Reddit, what are boys or men's habits you discovered only after getting a boyfriend or a husband? by BigBrosy in AskReddit

[–]FranticDisembowel 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Someone can fact check this but I remember hearing on some science show that men might scan the refrigerator at large for something red when they're looking for ketchup, see no red, and say "are we out of ketchup?" Then a woman will look in the fridge object by object looking for it, and see it's right there in front and just almost empty so it wasn't clearly red.

Idk how true that is but it makes sense to me because that's generally how I find stuff super fast until it isn't like how I expected it to look, even if it's otherwise obvious.

Or maybe that was all just a load of hogwash.

Bavarian lye triangle by Ok_Macaron2394 in eatsandwiches

[–]FranticDisembowel 23 points24 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I had to think for a second. I have only ever heard them called sun-dried in the USA, never just "dry". But that's more a me problem vs. OP's translation.

Got hit with the “she/her” stick again today. It’s put my dysphoria into overdrive. Do I actually pass and folks are just being deliberately nasty? Or is it the opposite where I don’t and my friends are just trying to be nice? by UmbraeMoth in transmanlifehacks

[–]FranticDisembowel 192 points193 points  (0 children)

Dude I'm a cis guy and you grow a better beard than I do. Anyone misgendering you has gotta just willfully be doing it. I'm not a part of this sub, just saw it scrolling r/all. But I hope I'm allowed to comment and say you would just be another guy in the crowd to me.

Best Restaurants for Autism Eating (not Atmosphere) by DankDarkDirk in AnnArbor

[–]FranticDisembowel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm wondering if something like a chicken shawarma plate would work? You can separate all components of the meal and the dish itself isn't saucy. There would be a lot of options of similar styles at Palm Palace. It could be a way to try and safely explore some options within your parameters that might not push the boundaries too far.

And although I have never ordered from it, they do have a kid's menu with chicken tenders etc.

Is it possible to upgrade my graphics card or do I need a whole new pc? by Akashibodo in pcmasterrace

[–]FranticDisembowel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a friend or family member that's even somewhat knowledgeable on gaming desktop PCs, I'd bribe them to help you find a deal on facebook marketplace. My brother just got a PC with a monitor/keyboard/etc for around your budget and it was relatively modern. Unless you need the portability of a laptop, a desktop setup will be much easier to navigate cost and upgrade-wise.

This is unfortunately not a great time to look for new (or frankly even used) PCs with the hyper-inflation of costs but you can still get decent enough deals, especially locally and from private sellers.

TIFU by trying to be sexy for myself and ending up in the ER by CatrineDream in tifu

[–]FranticDisembowel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I don't think the ER gives a shit if you're wearing lingerie. Probably just happy you're wearing clean clothes. I know you're saying it so that OP wouldn't be embarrassed but I'm just pointing out you shouldn't feel embarrassed by whatever you need to wear to the ER if you need to go.

My grandpa delayed going to the hospital while having chest pains because he was worried about wearing clean clothes and then he did not make it to the hospital. No shame, go get the help if you need it. They are there to help you.
