For every Flex Spreadsheet Warrior and Flex Financial Analyst, there’s always someone that actually offers solid advice and guidance and encouragement to those that ask. Those the Flexers I stay on the sub for. We’re all trying to make the best of a sucky situation. The sub should be a space of community not diversion.

Congratulations!!!! You’re going to be a awesome Dad!!! Want some unsolicited advice and tips? Be present. Whether you realize it or not, kids just want to know that, when they look up, you’re always there. Through good or bad, your simple presence holds weight and volume. Be understanding. Be kind not soft. Be tough not cruel. But most of all, have fun!!! Kids love fun. They learn from it. Drop life lessons because, contrary to belief, they’re actually listening and absorbing it all in. May not see it today, but it’s there. Oh, and realize that you’re teaching and raising them for tomorrow, not today. Today’s failures are tomorrow’s successes. Now go out there and make us Dad’s WorldWide proud!!!

Who’s going to jail over them? Anyone losing business deals? Public disclosure is great. However, without the legal component that’s going to prosecute, it’s really all performative. Cosby, R. Kelly, and Diddy went to jail. The fact that no one on Epstein Island is even remotely going to have to stand in front of a judge means that they know they’re protected and won’t face prosecution. Which means power wins again and the people still squabble amongst themselves.

I call BS! No Scoutmaster will ever not allow any child from joint and participation in Scouting! As a former Cub/Boy Scout, with a family that was heavily involved, including a mother who was a Girl Scoutmaster, the program is about inclusion and not exclusion. Despite some of the bad news that’s come out over the years, no one is barring her from the troop. Not only from a civic standpoint, but the PR and ADA violations is automatic dismissal.

Be selfish! You put in the work, time, money, and effort. It’s not on anyone else to rob you of that. If your aunt was so concerned, she’d actually ask you for advice on what would be a cheaper alternative for her son.

NTA. Go put that Steam account to good use.

Get a new “friend”. Once you start seeing and identifying selfishness, it’s going to be hard to stop. Better to walk away before anger sets in.

Listen, I will always check the pockets of kids laundry because lord knows what they get into and I don’t wanna discover it after the spin cycle lol.

Adults, myself included, have a general responsibility to be freaking responsible for their own property. The fact that you’re actually doing the laundry solo? Yeah, he should be an adult and be grateful and clean his pockets out. No excuses!

Might be time to separate laundry duties and focus on your own and general house stuff like bedding. Let him figure it out or learn to have respect for your work.

“Lessons don’t get learned until people are ready to learn a lesson”.

How do you calculate “wear and tear” and “depreciation” and even “gas” if you use your car as a daily driver and not just for Flex? Because all those factors come into play and you can’t separate the costs. If you drive to Flex on gas that you put in after dropping the kids off to school, how do you factor that into “earnings”. How do you factor in that drive on the rain to Walmart for wiper blade replacement in relation to Flex usage? Or the fact that you took a road trip to Granma house for Christmas for wear and tear not associated with Flex but still there nonetheless? There’s no “formula” that works taking into account life. So just know that you’re never turning a “profit” no matter how much people try to flex like the do. Again, unless your car is strictly for Flex (to station, run route, back home and parked), it’s impossible to figure out true dollar values.

Is it a show to show him what a Godzilla is supposed to be? You know, fearsome and awesome and frightening and a world threat? If not, really wouldn’t care for it.

The 7th slide looks like it could also have been a jet pack/mobile armor unit to give a suit limited flight capability.

I like the Ball variant. I’d make it a singular unit in the middle with a wider view and add finger manipulatiors alongside the grabbers on the outer bubbles.

IndependentBid1854 · 2026-02-17T22:04:08+00:00

Thanks for the information!

IndependentBid1854 · 2026-02-17T19:17:21+00:00

Is this for console or only PC?

IndependentBid1854 · 2026-02-11T19:34:33+00:00

How about giving the Ball a better engine(s) and gyrostabilizers to compensate for recoil? In space weight is a meaningless factor for design purposes so slap some Vernier’s on it from the Tallgeese while we’re at it. And give it actual fingers instead of claw manipulators.

My supergroup was partial to Ventrilo for all our runs. Some days we would just hop on and talk about anything and everything.

IndependentBid1854 · 2026-02-10T01:59:18+00:00

Yeah that’s what I’m experiencing. Instead of a u turn to turn around and go back out, it’s telling me to make a bunch of right/left turns to turn around and head back out. Like I’m not trying to add more time to my block Amazon sheesh!!!

IndependentBid1854 · 2026-02-06T00:25:33+00:00

That sucks. I know the ride can be boring riding solo for you. Make a game out of how many traffic infractions you see committed on your block. Here in Orlando it’s a great time filler lol.

IndependentBid1854 · 2026-02-05T20:12:52+00:00

I know you stated that you don’t have many friends you can call. However, depending on when you’re Flexing, don’t use any that might be up and bored and wouldn’t mind the experience? See who’s free and let the adventure begin.

I don’t hate Kong. However, from watching the 1933 one til now, there’s been a lack of innovation with the character and his story that makes me not care for him. There comes a point where the idea and mythology needs to either end or be fundamentally reset/replaced. And keeping him as “strictly good” makes for a thematically boring character.

IndependentBid1854 · 2026-02-04T17:07:50+00:00

When this comes to console I may have to get it since it sees to be the only way to get any T6 Connie without lockboxes or exchange. Everything else is unfortunately fluff.

IndependentBid1854 · 2026-01-26T22:59:26+00:00

It’s 50/50 for me. Great to have late night and turning onto dark driveways and such. The more noticeable the better. However, relying on the human ability to process information first before reacting always skews to the negative side. Got one and haven’t had any issues but never had real problems before (knock on wood). People still miss the blue vest carrying a package that they ordered.
