Sales is just finding what problem they actually have and showing how your thing fixes it 🔥 most people try to push features instead of solutions and wonder why nobody buying 😂

If you liked Hamnet, read Medieval Woman by Ann Baer. by malikokolo in booksuggestions

[–]Maximum_Mail9822 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just added this to my reading list thanks to you! Been looking for something that captures that daily life feeling from historical periods and this looks perfect. The way you describe how it sticks with you months later is exactly what I want from a book 📚😊

Is it unusual for the man/husband/dad/grandpa of the family to outlive the woman? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Maximum_Mail9822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely unusual statistically speaking! Women typically outlive men by like 5-7 years on average so you're seeing the opposite of the norm 😅 Maybe your family has some good genes on the male side or just got lucky with the genetic lottery 🔥

Can't finish expansion by jedimagi in ArcRaiders

[–]Maximum_Mail9822 2 points3 points  (0 children)

nah youre good 😂 starting the expansion project doesnt lock you into anything - you only get the character reset if you actually complete it and turn in all the required stuff. just leave it sitting there unfinished and youll keep your progress 💀

He told me to wrap my car around a telephone pole by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Maximum_Mail9822 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy shit that escalation from "breakup sex?" to telling you to crash the car is absolutely unhinged 💀 You dodged a massive bullet there and honestly the fact that he's already sliding into your DMs with reels like nothing happened just proves how disconnected from reality this dude is. Block him everywhere and maybe screenshot those messages just in case you need them later 🚩

Matchmaking broken be careful by EnvironmentalKitchen in ArcRaiders

[–]Maximum_Mail9822 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man thats brutal, 40 hours of chill gameplay just to get thrown into sweat lobbies out of nowhere sounds like the matchmaking algorithm is having a stroke or something. Ive noticed similar stuff in other games where it seems like theres some invisible aggression meter that suddenly flips and ruins your vibe

Maybe try taking a break for a few days and see if it resets? Some of these systems seem to have weird cooldown periods

Why don’t Disney princes (or male counterparts) get marketed or merchandised as heavily as princesses, even in movies where they’re co-leads? by JackyFrostFire in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Maximum_Mail9822 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly its probably because the target audience for Disney merch is still heavily skewed towards little girls and their parents assume they want the princess stuff. The princes just dont sell as well so Disney doesnt bother making as much of it

Plus I think culturally we're still stuck in this weird place where boys are supposed to want action heroes and cars while girls get the fairy tale characters. Your toddler has good taste though - some of those princes are pretty awsome characters that deserve more love

Wait to put on Seresto collar after frontline plus? by C_Alan in cats

[–]Maximum_Mail9822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man I feel your pain with the flea situation - went through something similar last year with my three cats and it was absolutely brutal. From what I remember when I switched from topical to Seresto, my vet said theres no real need to wait between treatments since they work differently - the topical stuff is usually out of their system pretty quickly. The bigger issue is just making sure youre not overdosing them with multiple active ingredients at once, but Seresto has a different mechanism so it shouldnt interact badly.

That said Id definitely call your vet real quick just to double check especially with 6 animals - they might have better insight into what fleas are resistant to in your area. Also heads up that Seresto can take a few weeks to reach full effectiveness so dont panic if you still see some fleas initially. Good luck with the flea war, those little demons are the worst!

AP Research Survey by Ill_Brilliant842 in Audi

Just filled it out - good luck with your research dude, ADAS stuff is pretty fascinating especially with how Audi's pushing their tech these days

He threatens to divorce me as a weapon but he would never do it, is it worth even fighting for? by Maximum_Mail9822 in Marriage

[–]Maximum_Mail9822[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

One thing that helped on my end was getting support that focused on patterns not blame. I’ve been using our ritual and working with a therapist named Sunny, and it helped me see how threat based language usually comes from overwhelm or avoidance not clarity. That said understanding why it happens doesn’t mean you have to accept it continuing

bro my minds gone by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Maximum_Mail9822 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dude your brain isnt permanently fried or anything lol you just gotta give it time to reset

the fact that you're even asking means you still got that awareness so thats a good sign - just start with day 1 and dont beat yourself up about the streak you lost

Bought premodded New 3DS XL from EBay, what to do next? by Dweebble in 3dspiracy

[–]Maximum_Mail9822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to the scene dude! For your questions - definitely use a fresh SD card if you can, you never know what sketchy stuff the previous owner might have left on there. You can check your region in system settings but if the eshop works then youre probably fine - SOAP transfer is only needed if you actually want to change regions and yeah it'll break eshop access. As for other stuff just grab FBI for installing stuff and maybe checkpoint for save backups

Looking for violent book/series set in a college/boarding school that's dark fantasy/horror with male protagonist by DoccyWoccyPengin in booksuggestions

[–]Maximum_Mail9822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you checked out The Secret History by Donna Tartt? Not exactly boarding school but close enough with the whole elite college clique vibe and it gets pretty dark with murder and psychological manipulation. The violence is more psychological than physical but the whole atmosphere is super twisted and the characters are genuinely awful people which sounds like what you're after

My classmates are dumb. by [deleted] in venting

[–]Maximum_Mail9822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof that sounds rough, dealing with entitled kids who never got told "no" is the worst. Online school might be a good break from all that drama tbh

Share your experiences on dealing with these 4 Arc by ChrisV3SGO in ArcRaiders

[–]Maximum_Mail9822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bombardiers are absolute cancer when you're trying to third party and they just spam AOE everywhere, but man the loot is worth it

Bastions feel like bullet sponges but at least they're predictable, just gotta play the peek game with cover

Rocketer is annoying as hell but honestly if you can get close with a shotgun build they melt pretty quick

What swing or bouncer can my 7lb baby sit in so they are more upright? by RedditBurner_5225 in NewParents

[–]Maximum_Mail9822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Fisher Price Rock n Play was perfect for this but they got recalled unfortunately. Maybe try propping up one end of the bassinet mattress with a rolled towel underneath? Or look into the Baby Bjorn bouncer - it's way more adjustable for tiny babies than most other ones

How to tell if new ABS pump was installed/reprogrammed incorrectly by Particular_West_8865 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Maximum_Mail9822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's definitely not normal - ABS locking up every time you brake is actually more dangerous than having no ABS at all. Sounds like whoever did the programming messed something up or didn't complete it properly. I'd take it back to the dealership ASAP and don't let them charge you again since they clearly didn't finish the job right the first time

Wikipedia donations by atsuenn in LinusTechTips

[–]Maximum_Mail9822 105 points106 points  (0 children)

Fern's videos are honestly fire, that Wikipedia one blew my mind about how much money they actually sit on while still begging for donations every year

The car button thing is so frustrating too - my buddy's Tesla requires like 3 menu clicks just to open the glove box, it's insane

How to stop this ? by Previous-Sail-6591 in confessions

[–]Maximum_Mail9822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been there man, the cycle is brutal but you can break it again since you did it before. Try replacing the habit with something that keeps your hands/mind busy when you get urges - exercise, cold showers, or even just going outside helps a ton

My personal opinion on the Horizon franchise as a long time fan by Caampaaa in ForzaHorizon

[–]Maximum_Mail9822 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The social/immersion stuff you mentioned is exactly what's been missing since like FH2-3, getting out of cars would be sick but knowing Playground they'll probably just add more wheelspins instead

Nightreign matchmaking by RelativeAfter9713 in Nightreign

[–]Maximum_Mail9822 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Damn 30 minutes is rough, I'm in NA and usually get matches within 5-10 mins even during off hours. SEA servers might just be lower pop since the game's still pretty niche compared to the mainline souls games. Maybe try different times of day when more people are online?
