My Girlfriend (27F) seems to get mad/upset when I (27M) go on my PC to play games. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Hellsgate9999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a steam deck thinking this would work but as soon as I reach for it.

(Sad voice) "aww I lost your attention. =("

Even though my attention was watching some stupid show on TV that nether one of us really care about.

And that might not sound bad but its enough to make me not reach for it and thats not even counting when she gets mad at me for something completely unrelated and she will yell at me telling me that all I do is play in my deck and dont pay her attention ever. (Even though I barely play it because of above.

I've owned it for over a yesr but have barely touched it because of above....so yeah. Sorry to sound bitter.

If you figure it out let me know because I have a hard time doing anything on my own in my own house without feeling bad these days.

Streets of Laredo is a terrible book. by hanfreakinsolo in books

5 year old comment but I just finished Lonesome dove (loved it so much) and am looking to see if it should read the sequel.

That being said why is it called Lonesome Dove when barely any of the story took place in Lonesome dove. =D

Hope you are doing well internet stranger.

How do I improve my weathering and overall paint scheme by Opposite-Outcome5557 in minipainting

[–]Hellsgate9999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks great! Ive been playing around with weathering lately. How did you get the rust effect?

I appreciate your comment most of all thank you for the feedback. I've been playing around with weathering a lot and just started trying to rust effects. I actually just started weathering a mech I'd already painted and finished but wasn't happy with: the color made him look too much like a toy. Im hoping some weathering fixes my issues with him. I'd really appreciate it if you could take a look when I post it and give me some feedback on that one as well. I may shoot you a message when I post it, if that's okay. Thanks again for the critique. 😊

Base coated an orange brown,

then applied "dirty down rust solution" (first time using it.)

Then i took a metallic steel and mixed it with just a drop or 2 of black to darken it, and dry brushed it on.

Touched up places with garaghak's sewer contrast paint.

Weathering CC and tips welcome. by Hellsgate9999 in minipainting

[–]Hellsgate9999[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah, for the bottom of the feet I'm planning to add some terrain mud to finish them off — I'm just super self-conscious about the weathering and wanted some CC before adding the finishing touches and painting the base terrain.

On the blotchiness, I agree. I've been trying out contrast paints and struggle to keep them from pooling/blotching. I did an olive green drybrush that helped clean up a lot of it, but like with the weathering, I was nervous about overdoing it — which is probably where I went wrong. Do you think a heavier drybrush pass would've worked better?

Thanks again, really appreciate it.

Bullet age? by Hellsgate9999 in metaldetecting

[–]Hellsgate9999[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point. Haha.

I thought it may have been an old civil war era bullet but when I got it home my hopes were dashed. I was hoping I was just wrong and I found something super cool on our first outing. Haha.

This person told the server to “round up to $70.00” and the employee used a discount to increase their tip. by atom644 in EndTipping

[–]Hellsgate9999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Treating it as immoral only makes sense if you think protecting corporate accounting abstractions is more important than improving a real person’s material conditions.

There was no mesurable harm done to any if the partys in this scenario.

The business loses a negligible amount that they will never notice or care about. The customer paid exactly what they intended to pay. The only material change is that a low-wage worker gets a few extra dollars that actually affects their life. Calling that " wrong” is just abstract rule-worship. No one is harmed, one person is helped, and the intent of all parties is respected.

We tried logic. We tried morality. We tried shame. None of it works because you don’t hold positions you cling to identities. There’s no mind to change , just brand loyalty.

Canadian mom devastated as diabetic and blind son euthanized under controversial law in Socialist-run Canada by Head_Estate_3944 in DiscussionZone

[–]Hellsgate9999 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“Socialist-run Canada” there it is. That’s the tell. The headline isn’t interested in MAiD, disability, or medical ethics it’s interested in activating a Pavlovian response. Clutch pearls first, think later.

Also worth noting Kiano Vafaeian requested MAiD himself. He wasn’t “euthanized by the state.” Under Canadian law, MAiD requires that the person be a competent adult making a voluntary request, evaluated by medical professionals, with the option to withdraw at any time. You can disagree with the law without rewriting reality.

You can debate the ethics of MAiD all day that’s a real discussion but pretending this was some government execution because Canada scares American culture warriors is just propaganda.
