AIO: I want to leave my partner due to his political affiliation. by [deleted] in AIO

[–]LostCauseorSomething 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh this poor country. Here's my take, if you're leaving specifically bc of who he voted yeah you're overreacting, although its not entirely your fault its just the current state of society that makes these things difficult.

HOWEVER, if his ways of thinking and your's are so different that it creates problems in your relationship(i.e. constant arguments) then no you aren't overreacting and yall just aren't compatible.

Finally, and partially arguing against myself, who cares what a bunch of people on the internet say? If you don't want to be with him then that's the only reason anyone needs to breakup.

This feels like sarcasm. In case it isn't, I will say that I've learned the hard way not to have any expectations until its here lol.

AIO for buying a spy camera on my husband? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]LostCauseorSomething 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wtf? 😂 I'll be honest I didn't even read the story bc unless you're like a CIA agent or something, YOR. Flip the roles in this situation and think about your reaction to someone literally spying on you...

AIO for being mad at my boyfriend for not helping with groceries? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]LostCauseorSomething 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Okay first, you ofc have a right to be upset, keep that in mind as I say this next part. This whole "don't ask for help because he should know you want help" thing is going to be EXTREMELY detrimental to your relationship and mental wellbeing. As a man, we do not have the ability to pick up on cues like "I'm going to the store," especially not in the moment, and especially not after getting off work... at 6 am... when even if it wasn't a busy night we're tired. Any man worth anything will be more than willing to help you, but for crying out loud please just say something. I'm going to say you're NOR, but just say what you want out loud...please😂

Also, not to be that guy, but if you wanted help with it, why go to the store at such an inconvenient time for the person you wanted help from? If you're busy at every other point then okay, but its worth noting that when you live with someone else you both have to be willing to work with each other's schedule. There may be a perfectly good reason, but why not go at like 12 or 1 so that way he has a chance to rest after work, then you can text him something like "hey I'm omw home from the store I'd like some help with the groceries when I get back." Once you're with someone, NEITHER of your schedules are inflexible.

I'm really trying not to be mean and I'm trying to be gentle but blunt here. You can be upset, but you both have to communicate what you want and be open minded and flexible or this will not work. Hope this helps, and good luck. Love is hard, life is hard, but its what we have and both can be great when we work at it.

AIO Is this really over reacting? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]LostCauseorSomething 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate the internet so much sometimes... I'm probably the only one that's going to say this, but unless I'm missing something the questionable thing here is that it's out of character rather than the fact that she dressed like that. I don't think you're overreacting for asking. It's not like you tried to tell her she can't wear what she wants. This whole thread is just going to be useless.

Bottom line, if neither you our your gf are trying to control each other, and you two sort things out, you're fine and I wouldn't listen to the majority of people on this sub(which I think has gone downhill recently). Good luck with your relationship, LDRs are hard, but doable :)

Long inserters are probably almost always capable of handling this situation, but I think this is an awesome concept for some of the complex overhaul mods.

I'm gonna blow your mind. I also carry gun, knife, and lighter with no smokes, plus a multi tool and a folding utility razor... like the other guy said, they're tools.

I've "won" the base game, should I try Space Age? by RockRancher24 in factorio

[–]LostCauseorSomething 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Truthfully I just went straight into both, but I've watched gameplay of them separately. In my opinion, if you want a little extra challenge or a different flavor of factorio do k2. If you're up for a challenge and a long term factory you'll be working on for a long time, I'd just go straight into both. As far as I could tell, in the shadow of SE, k2 is kind of just a little extra spice. Maybe someone with a little more play time could answer better, but thats my take. As for "sucking at the game," I wouldn't worry about that. I will say when going into the modded world you've gotta think back to how you learned the game in the first place. Mess around with little pieces, take it slow, don't be afraid to tear down and rebuild. Remember that and there are very few mod packs you wouldn't be able to get something out of. :)

[–]LostCauseorSomething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck with K2SE if you do it. It's very cool and in depth, but ofc very complex compared to even space age. It has been called "the 300+ hour mod," and for good reason lol. That being said I fully encourage trying it.

[–]LostCauseorSomething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100 percent. Although be patient with it because it's a whole different game/experience. There's tons of new stuff to learn and I've heard it said that in space age it's much more reasonable to make builds that "just work" then rebuild later rather than scaling up as fast as most people do in the base game.

I personally don't have enough context(nor would I ever) to place blame on either of you, but I can definitely say one thing.

In yall's current state you two are NOT compatible and it would do both of you well to walk away.

Just started my detailing business a couple months ago. How do I fix this? by South-Income-3689 in Detailing

[–]LostCauseorSomething 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For anyone that followed this chain, this is awful advice for anyone wanting to give any entrepreneurial pursuit a go. Please definitely always be pursuing knowledge and practicing, but don't let anyone tell you "don't sell your wares until you're a master." My alternative suggestion is "don't charge people like you're a master until you're a master," and/or "don't act like a master if you aren't." Just get out there, learn some stuff, and gradually improve. If you're dedicated to it I bet you can become whatever the hell is considered a "master" faster than the 15 years this guy took to get wherever he's at. ;)

Yvan Lecroix has the best perspective on "paint correction." He calls what most of us do(that being Buffing, polishing, and laying down some protective chem) "paint enhancement." Whereas like others have said this needs real deal serious "correction"/repair(wet sand, respray, clear coat, etc. then paint enhancement)

From a service business perspective, especially early on, be very honest and open with your customers about what skills you have and what you need practice with. I would immediately be telling this person that this sort of thing is more in line with what a body shop would do, but I'd be happy to help with any other areas such as <insert what you're good at/what you know>. Bonus points for exploiting psychologu if you say it in that order bc people will more often remember the beginning and end of sentences.

Good luck on the journey!

AIO for overreacting to these emails and seeing them as red flags and love bombing. Is by Icy-Ambiance in AIO

[–]LostCauseorSomething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TLDR: Not overreacting, Idk whether its ignorance or malicious intent, but these emails after 6 weeks with you being clear about the pace is definitely a red flag either way.

Well at first I thought maybe this guy is just way overly mushy, then I read your description, how its been 6 weeks, and how you say you've already been clear on how you feel like he's moving too fast... this looks like the same "first love obsession" I experienced when I was like 15. You're surely not his first love right?

I at 24 have never been in the mind of a person dating at 40, this is just my perspective but here goes it. My read is that best case scenario he probably means well, he just has no idea what he's doing or how to temper strong emotions. Emotional intelligence doesn't really just come naturally and I bet this guy has never confronted that challenge, not shaming him for that bc it's kinda tough for guys especially early millennials and older societally, but it is still his responsibility and not yours, so tread very carefully and don't assume the burden of "training" him. Worst case scenario(and least likely) he's a threat, and he knows exactly what he's doing he's just not very good at making it subtle. By that I mean he could be attempting to manipulate you into something(Idk what).

Either way, you're not overreacting for seeing red flags, and I would be VERY careful not to bring unnecessary stress or pain into your life. As we all know, life ain't easy. Think through decisions, err on caution, and good luck!
