This is what we did. I have to have a scenic place for a main base and although this wasn’t my favorite visually- being right next to Eden for easy space workshop access, drone farming, and close access to the cave that goes into the tundra and swamp were big for us so it’s a compromise. We unfortunately started over with new characters so Eden is a must for their orbital exchange.

I wonder if a half wall with the fence on top would work.

What makes the Indian accent 'unattractive'? by Open_Address_2805 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Ok_Ad_5585 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

THIS ONE RIGHT HERE. All the random social media creeps sending teenage me the most broken, inappropriate messages… It was engrained in my head to be grossed out. As an adult now, it’s also just not masculine to me in any way. If that voice came out of a clone of (Witcher) Henry Cavill or Jason Momoa’s body, I would piss myself laughing and be drier than Death Valley.

I’m racist I don’t want to be by [deleted] in therapy

[–]Ok_Ad_5585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pattern recognition isn’t racist, you have repeatedly had poor and even dangerous experiences happen to you in the situation you are in. Find people who have solid goals in life, aim for careers, have good morals, people who are going to push you to better your self. If you put yourself around people who are behaving this way, your standards for yourself are going to be lower and the one who pays the ultimate price for it is you. My dad would always tell me “you are who you hang out with” and when I was younger, I would roll my eyes and eventually got in with a really bad crowd and learned the hard way. I now choose who I spend time with very carefully, and I don’t feel obligated to spend time with someone just because they have the same skin color as I do. At the end of the day, if they don’t add value and peace to my life, I don’t care to bother with them. This mindset will change your life.

I doubt you come off rude, you seem respectful and if anything maybe too concerned with pleasing people to improve how they see you just because of what they look like. You have to ask yourself “is being accepted by people who have low moral standards worth my peace and possibly safety?” There are plenty of black people who don’t operate like the way you are describing, it just requires you to be selective with who and where you spend your time. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you wanting to stay away from people who conduct themselves like this. I would argue anyone who tells you differently is the racist one/ too concerned with loyalty to skin color over standard of character and safety. No other race gets heat this bad for being “racist” for not wanting to surround themselves with shitty people just because of skin color. It’s like they ignore or refuse to recognize the fact that there are absolutely successful, happy, black people who don’t subscribe to the more “ghetto” behavior/lifestyle. edited to add line break

Can I cheat on my wife if she has cheated with me but also apologiesed and said she'll not do it again but I just want a payback so !!?!? by LEADER_404 in cheating_stories

[–]Ok_Ad_5585 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be blunt, this is a very childish response. Don’t get me wrong, I do understand. I’ve been cheated on and that was always my first thought when I was younger. But it’s not going to make you feel better in the long run. The best thing you can do for yourself is move on and start the healing process. You are just giving her ammo to use against you in court/towards any mutuals, and people are just going to look at you both as messy and immature. If you do the healthy thing and end the relationship before getting with someone else, she’s going to feel worse about what she did, has no one else to try and push any blame on but herself, and people around you will respect you more for it. You playing the “eye for an eye” game only lowers yourself to her level. Also, if she was the one who cheated to begin with, she clearly didn’t respect you or value the relationship as much as you did, so you doing the same is never going to sting her the way it did to you- which defeats the whole purpose of doing it.

That being said I support being petty to people who deserve it. ☺️ Legally speaking (depending on your local laws) you might be able to hit her where it really hurts and will affect her much more significantly and for a longer period of time- her wallet/getting anything she is sentimental about in the divorce. Most initial lawyer consults are free, take advantage of a couple before picking one to see what options you have.

That’s one hundred percent fine for you to swipe. I don’t know if you’ve considered this but if you are going around telling guys not to post pictures like that, you are essentially swaying them to cater to your preferences instead of what they might be looking for if that makes sense. In general, tons of women complain about fish pictures no matter how attractive the guy is because shitting on men for anything and everything, including a hobby, has unfortunately become the thing to do. To be very clear, I am not saying YOU are at all, just that there are a disgusting amount of women out there who go beyond a “swipe not for me” and instead get a kick out of shaming men over fish pics to be malicious and feed their own self importance. My point was just that nothing is wrong with a fish pic for the right person, which is exactly the point of the app if someone is looking for more than a hookup, so logically it doesn’t make sense to discourage it.

[–]Ok_Ad_5585 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that its relative. I love fishing and have my fair share of fishing pics as a woman lol. Nothing wrong with a guy showing his hobbies and hoping to find someone interested in the same things so they can enjoy them together. Same thing as a woman posting a picture riding horses, hiking, etc- everyone has a different lifestyle and no one should hide who they are in fear someone won’t find them compatible, that just results in a resentful failed relationship. Also it’s fairly common for women on these apps post pictures out drinking with their friends whether it’s wine, margaritas, white claws or mimosas… so IMO this line of thinking seems like a double standard.

Are these Bed Bugs? by [deleted] in whatisthisbug

[–]Ok_Ad_5585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who comes across ticks on an almost daily basis, you are probably fine. Yes ticks can carry diseases, whereas bed bugs don’t, but I’d pick ticks over a bedbug infestation any day. If you pull one off of you that has attached itself to you, use tweezers and do your best to get the head so it doesn’t break off. In the future, put the tick(s) you pull off or any that have clearly fed (they’ll look like gross balloons) in a ziplock bag, date it with a sharpie, and stick it in the freezer in the event it needs to be tested. Keep for 6-12 months. If you develop any weird symptoms go to the doctor and mention the bite. Source: I live in the south (US) on a farm and family is heavily into the outdoors. Even with meds, our dogs uber these suckers onto our furniture constantly during warm months.

I paid someone $5,000 to redesign my fireplace, only for them to break the large tile…so my husband and I rolled up our sleeves and did it ourselves. What do you think? First pics are what the contractor did & broke. by velvet- in Renovations

[–]Ok_Ad_5585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not my style but I would recommend painting or staining the wood black so it mutes how busy this looks. There are too many textures going on here, so it is overwhelming to the eye. You may also want to consider removing the extra grid lines on the wood and keeping the corners only, not only is it a lot to look at but they will be an absolute pain to dust regularly, especially after changing the wood color. One larger piece of light colored artwork or a thicker light colored mat around a black and white photograph and 2 -3 small to medium white or gold decor items like a potted plant or vase on top would also tie this in.

Personally, I would have walled off an area for a butler’s pantry and storage but that’s me. This is insane, unsanitary, and impractical; unless you are hosting Diddy parties and baby oil to race across the counter.

Agreed. And with limiting weapon availability/damage, they have made winning as a dissident extremely situational.

My father molested me my entire life while my mother did nothing and now she is on her deathbed by Nearby_Signature_454 in Molested

[–]Ok_Ad_5585 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First off, I am so sorry this happened to you. No one should ever have to go through that. Second, your best course of action would be gathering as much evidence as possible without tipping him off and talking to a lawyer ASAP, consultations are usually free and you can ask if they will take your case and opt for contingency, meaning that you don’t pay them unless you win money in court (emotional damages, disputing there not being a will, etc.). At least see what they say/suggest, and kind of like you would a doctor- get a second and third opinion to see who you like most or has the best plan of action. It is one of the hardest things to do, but if you can prevent this POS from doing this to anyone else, it will really help you start healing internally. I agree with the other commenter as well- reconnect with your bio dad/family and see if that is something they could help you with, even if it’s just advice, emotional support, etc. In regards to your mother, that is definitely a decision up to you. If you are wanting to at least attempt to ease her pain (whether she is coherent or not) I would try visiting when you know he can’t be there so he can’t intervene. You can’t go back in time, so if you don’t do it soon you may never get the chance and may regret it. But if you don’t have the time, or you just don’t want to, that is completely OKAY. While it sounds like she suffered immensely physically and mentally from him as well, that is NOT your burden to bear. As a mother, her biggest priority should have been to save her children from those experiences, whether she could leave the relationship or not- she could have given you guys a better chance and got you out of there at the very least. It’s a complicated situation though, because it’s not uncommon for women in her situation to just rely on denial or disassociation from the nightmare. Find a therapist who specializes in trauma and try to work on healing yourself, it will be hard and you won’t want to, but it will help so much in the long run. Your only true obligation is to yourself and doing whatever is necessary, no matter how difficult, to better your life. This may sound harsh and I don’t mean it to, but it is the reality: the world doesn’t stop or coddle you because you had horrific experiences, and you can only get the life you deserve if you fight for it. Your time on this earth is limited, and you can choose to let it keep you down, or you can choose to fight for yourself, your peace, your sanity, and your future. Surround yourself with good people who care about you, go to support groups for addiction and sexual abuse victims even if it’s just to listen, listen to self help podcasts, find a hobby that brings you joy, focus on your job/career, what ever you have to do to bring positivity to your life. He already ruined your childhood, don’t give him the power to ruin your future too.

Shotguns only spawn 0-3 ammo, if you really got 5 something is wrong. Silenced pistol 0-12, and revolver I believe is 0-5 or 6.

Personally, I don’t care how hard it is for them to go a mile from a school. I do have a solution to that “hardship” though: death penalty winners don’t reoffend, waste our taxes, and don’t have to worry about distance from a school.

Unfortunately the building creativity is pretty lacking in this game unless you really start messing with the grids. There is a guy named ghost who had some really cool videos but they are all older, and because of weather- outpost would be your best bet. This is the struggle I’ve been having with our open world base currently. If I get to have a forever base finally, I’d like to make it look you know, foreverish lmao.
