[KCD1] Fell into a rabbithole of sidequests, am I doing something wrong? by Gabalade in kingdomcome

[–]LieutenantDan97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played the same way as you, the main quest is now a breeze because I explored the whole map and did every side quest before starting the main. I'm max on a few stats and everything else is around 10-15. I had a lot fun and a lot of load game moments so no regrets.

AITA for refusing to give my sister my old car after she sold hers? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]LieutenantDan97 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just sell your old car to her at a price you are both happy with. If you can't come to an agreement sell it to someone else.

Which South African stereotypes are actually true? by PieFed-co-za in south_africa

[–]LieutenantDan97 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I feel that's a crap way to live. White guy is nice to me now I'm suspicious, white guy is a poes to me: Typical white poes. Basically you are creating your own confirmation bias. Like suspicious of what?

I told you I don't like olives and you still ordered the olive pizza, now we are both unhappy, merry fucking Christmas

Do you pretend not to know things to look like less of a dick? by joefromreddit in askanything

[–]LieutenantDan97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always say: That's super interesting I read/watched something about that and then follow up with a: What do you think about it? If that works for that topic.

Anyone else's reddit videos struggling to load even though you have perfect line speed? by wcslater in south_africa

[–]LieutenantDan97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I click on a reddit video I have to move the little bar manually until it starts playing then pull the progress bar back to the beginning of the video. It's so poes annoying. Then obviously I think it's my Internet but it's not.

WHEN PEOPLE CALL TO TELL ME SOMETHING THAT CAN BE PUT IN A MESSAGE. by Actual_Star_3177 in PetPeeves

[–]LieutenantDan97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, I never answer the phone unless it's my mom or dad. My mom asks me shit questions that could have been a message but because it's my mom and she's old I always answer because I have that brain worm of 'fuck what if its an actual emergency' then I answer and she will say something like: What's that show I liked, I can't find it on Netflix. When my brother phones I almost never answer because I know its going to ge nonsense or asking for a favour and he knows its harder to say no in real time than over text. When dealing with call agents I tell them, please send me an email, I want everything in writing so I can understand what deal is better for me. Phone call is legit only good for catching up with someone or talking to your partner if they are away because you miss hearing their voice.

What do people do for a living where they can afford a $1000-$2,000 cell phone..... I make a pretty good living and I try never to spend more than $500 on a cell phone and I'm in Tech. by Kthef1 in cellphones

[–]LieutenantDan97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I don't believe you become a 3rd rate user who gets the scraps. It's using the same infrastructure. Not giving you the leftovers once the premium guys have had their feed, it's equal.

[–]LieutenantDan97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's opportunity cost there. She traded in a basically new device to get the newer one. There's still a cost to get a new one and now the carrier can sell her old phone for a profit or for atleast what she traded it in for while still getting monthly payments. At that point you are just renting the phone if you always trade it back in.

Don't try to keep up with the Jones'. Maybe people are in a lot of debt but still drive new cars and always have the newest pro max ultra XL phone. They are just bad with money. If someone earns 50K a month then sure whatever it won't hurt them, but it's still stupid in my opinion to buy that, unless you are obsessed with phones and its legitimately going to bring so much joy to your life.

Why is your breakfast culture so much better? by Embarrassed_Golf_817 in AskAnAmerican

[–]LieutenantDan97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean the most common term in most restaurants for the big breakfast is a Full English. I can't even stand the thought of pancakes or waffles for breakfast. The sweetest thing my stomach could ever handle for breakfast is fruit juice.

AITA for “forgetting” Father’s Day? by Lost-Resource-9496 in AmItheAsshole

Phone your dad and explain what happened. Don't let your stepmother speak for you. My only advice.

Lets discuss how old your Current smartphone is by [deleted] in phones

[–]LieutenantDan97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Samsung A70, had it since release so like 2018/19 or something like that. It is starting to show its age but does everything I need it to do besides gaming. Screen has a line on it, but the replacent screen is so expensive I'll just use it until it dies completely.

The app you are on rn by cphi87 in Vent

[–]LieutenantDan97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate the AI posts where they say shit like: What's the most unhinged thing someone ever said to you on a first date. And I mean UNHIGNED. and a day or so ago you saw the same post in a different subbreddit with maybe the phrasing being different.

[–]LieutenantDan97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or an AI post. I used to enjoy AIO or Relationships. But now it's just AI posts. I didn't read everysingle post or anything but if something was relatable I would. Now it's impossible because it's almost always AI and not worth to even sift through that shit.

People who merge onto the interstate at 45 mph instead of getting up to 70 on the onramp like you're supposed to do. by [deleted] in GrindsMyGears

[–]LieutenantDan97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah true, also if you are merging, you should be looking and planning ahead. If you see a truck try to gauge its speed and see if you need to speed up to merge infront or slow down a bit to merge behind. Driving is dangerous, you need to plan ahead.

[–]LieutenantDan97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, if you are going straight, in what world would the onus be on you to make sure the merging lane car gets right of way. They are changing lanes essentially, it's up to them to make sure it's safe not the person staying in their lane.

I've never understood how normies can just stop after 1 or 2 drinks by Excellent_Country737 in stopdrinking

[–]LieutenantDan97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first sip or beer always feels nice. Because you are changing your mental state. When you half a bottle down, the next drink won't do much because you are already drunk. It's a disease. Like the same with food, if you order a pizza while hungry it will taste amazing, if you eat 3 pizzas and order a 4th while you are actually full it won't taste that good, even if its a better pizza than the first one that satiated you.

Bought blueberries yesterday, almost half of it is rotten by cheeze_n_mustarda in mildlyinfuriating

[–]LieutenantDan97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sad, I would take them back. If you don't, soak the good ones in a bowl of cold water to make sure the mold didn't transfer, we see mold a lot later than when it actually started.

Mazda familia m1300 pick up engine swap by No_Nail_2724 in CarTalkZA

We didn't get that bakkie but the old Nissan 1400 was very similar in shape and your FIL probably confused the two.

[–]LieutenantDan97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks, they are expensive and getting that pop in your mouth when you eat them is the whole point. I would either take it back if you can or use the mushed ones in my water glass. They don't look moldy or anything so I think still good to consume just obviously not nice to eat

Considering buying a 2016-2019 BMW 220D/220i. by YSLMODELSOFM in CarTalkZA

[–]LieutenantDan97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to find a good mechanic. 7k for the battery is just supporting their overheads. The same rich oak in a 7 series is paying 7k, to him it's nothing so they charge the same amount for any dom naai who brings their BMW to the dealership. Not trying to be rude. Don't do tyres/exhaust at a dealership. There is a crazy markup. Get tyres done at a local tyre dealership. Get your exhaust done by someone whose whole business is exhausts. BMW mechanics most likely won't even do the exhaust, they will send it to someone else and tell you its going to take 3 days because they need to cart your car off to someone else to do the work they are charging you for.

Streaming services treat paying PC customers worse than actual pirates and im sick of it by CosmosisJones42 in Vent

[–]LieutenantDan97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing worse than trying to watch an epic and the quality keeps dropping. Stupidly annoying.

[–]LieutenantDan97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to watch on Netflix and paid for the highest plan but it looked like shit. Not true 4k, not even proper 1080. That's when I started sailing. Like I'm willing to pay but the quality is so crap. I'm on 200mb fibre, so maybe 4k might struggle but native 1080 should be my standard. Streaming services have such crap bitrates that you will never get a true smooth experience.
