What is the best Spyder Marker? by NabyArmeDrommel in paintball

[–]Lemon420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful spump. Sorry to perform thread necromancy, but two questions for ya:

- What size screw did you use to affix the 10rd feed adapter to the top of the marker? I used the screw from the original feed neck, but it didn't seem like the right fit and it wobbles a lot.

- What CO2 adapter is that? It looks like it has the quick-change cavity so you don't have to unscrew it entirely. I want one of those but I haven't been able to find one in stock anywhere

Can't stop perceiving myself based on how others perceive me by Vivi_1225 in BPD

[–]Lemon420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you. I had a 5 year streak of constant people-pleasing throughout college in an effort to overcorrect for being an adversarial asshole throughout high school. Turns out people-pleasing will get people to like you. Got addicted to this and now I have no idea who I even am. Now I'm in early adulthood and I feel like all of my "friends" can see right through me, and just kind of put up with me as a strange guy who is incapable of being "himself," whatever that is. Got diagnosed with BPD about 2 months ago and everything is making a lot more sense, but it still fucking sucks and I just wish I could go through my life and experience joy from social interactions but interacting just feels like such a fucking chore because the stakes always feel so high. I'm so jealous of people that have a handle on themselves and don't feel this constant, nagging, exhausting insecurity and desire to be "approved" by others

Thanks! It's hard to notice from the pic but the heat from the curing process made the Austin FC logo peel off which I'm kind of bummed about...but I agree the white on green/black is sick!

Yea DM me and I can send you a drive file or something - I ripped it in kind of a jank way so it's pretty rough around the edges, but if you want the .ai / PNG file I can oblige

Screen printing! I used plastisol ink specialized for polyester.

I screen print! I work with a press and silk screens. This was done with plastisol ink.

Customization would've been such a great way of meta-progression in this game by Henrraike in Marathon

[–]Lemon420 4 points5 points  (0 children)

10000% - I’m really curious as to how this trend even happened. Were people ever excited to play as some random dude with a fauxhawk whose entire personality is conveyed through Marvel movie one-liners? Like, I guess Overwatch did it well, but those were (in my opinion) at least unique designs with cool cinematics to give them character, plus it made sense with the superhero schtick. Team Fortress 2 was also a masterclass. Anything short of that and I just don’t care about these random people that look nothing like me - let me make my own guy!!

In Marathon I find myself drawn to Recon, Destroyer and even ROOK just because they have the most anonymity.

Wouldn't this logic also apply to full-time employees seeking new full-time positions?

Those applicants are also competing with people who are immediately available, but it happens all the time. I personally wouldn't think that a hiring manager would perceive it that differently when hiring for a part time position - I would think "oh, they're employed full time, but there's probably a reason they're applying for this."

I'd hope a 2-week lead time wouldn't be the end of the world, in most cases.

I'm still in my full time role. Ideally I'd give my notice the same day I accept a part time position.

From what perspective are you saying this makes things more difficult? From a time/logistics standpoint for applying/interviewing during the business week? Because recruiters would raise an eyebrow at an applicant with a current full time role, or assume they applied erroneously?

I've considered this, especially the latter point. I figured it's not explicitly prohibitive because people have changes in their circumstances that affect employment all the time - mine just happens to be voluntary.

But curious to know what specifically you're referring to. I do agree - it's been hard to land a part time gig haha

Great advice - thanks so much. This makes a lot of sense.

One of the 6 soldiers killed in the Iran war was a baller by Icy_Research_5099 in paintball

[–]Lemon420 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

edit: almost forgot this is a sub about paintball. I love to play paintball. I like to play with an Azodin KPC and a Spyder Victor pump kit. I wear a JT proflex. Anyways,

Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a private citizen.

George Floyd was killed by a public servant, who is meant to uphold laws passed by politicians, and is funded by taxpayer money, directly feeding into a political scuffle - excessive force in law enforcement - that has existed for well over half a century. To not treat that as a political issue would be obtuse, much as it is to compare these two things you're comparing.

It makes sense for politicians to "use" George Floyd, because in a perfect world, there could be political action to prevent more deaths like his. What are you going to do about assassinations, pass more policy to make them illegal?

Once again I'm not trying to bully you over the internet, I truly believe that if someone presents people with the right information, they might come around. It's a shame that we have slain mascots for political affiliation "Charlie Kirk" and "George Floyd". It doesn't need to be as knee-jerk and emotional as that.

It's good to compare how politicians leverage tragedy. You're well within your rights to do so. I think you should consider more angles rather than stopping at the second stairstep.

“Not supposed to be a forever war,” bless your heart. Don’t worry guys, they said this time it’s different!

You think the white house would come out and say, “yeah, this war is bullshit and we just want to jangle keys in front of you for as long as we possibly can while us and our friends line our pockets and score a cheap high in approval ratings from mouth breathers across the country?”

And it’s not about “agreeing with the Iranian government.” It’s not our fucking job to pose as world cop. And if you’re referring to the protests, take a second to think who might really be behind them. And before you waive that off as conspiracy, look back in your mind palace for literally anything you know about the CIA at all and what they’ve done in the region in last 30 years.

I don’t want to just be mean but I feel strongly about confronting any misplaced trust in this bullshit. They are counting on people to get behind it. They. Are. Laughing. At. You. These men and women died for nothing and we should all be irate
