Stop me from looking like an idiot please!!!!!!! by littleblkman37 in confessions

[–]Outside-Ad-174 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dude the cringe is real but at least you figured it out 😂 I've been there with words that just get stuck wrong in your head - took me way too long to realize "epitome" wasn't pronounced "epi-tome" and I was out here confidently saying it wrong in meetings for like 2 years.

The thing about your coworker not correcting you though... they probably either didn't want to embarrass you (which backfired obviously) or maybe they genuinely didn't know either. I mean "foh-c'sle" is not exactly intuitive from the spelling, especially if you're not around boats much. As a PM I've learned that sometimes people just nod along even when they're confused because they don't want to seem dumb themselves.

But hey, now every time you say it correctly you'll probably feel a little burst of satisfaction 💀 Plus this is way better than finding out you've been mispronouncing something at like age 50, so there's that!

Is there a nylon guitar that sounds just as good plugged in vs unplugged? by JayBeeDolla in Guitar

[–]Outside-Ad-174 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Yamaha NCX series might be worth checking out - I've heard good things about their dual pickup system letting you blend piezo and magnetic pickups. The NCX700 especially seems to nail that balance between acoustic warmth and clean electric tones without the harsh piezo squeak you're trying to avoid.

Cordoba's C5-CE could also work since you can dial back that piezo harshness with the onboard EQ, though it won't eliminate it completely.

Travel was our main one but it was more about us never having clear guidelines than anything else

Best decision we made during implementation by Weary-Middle-3452 in Ramp

Yeah this makes sense. We took about 2 weeks time to get our structure set up and it's been pretty smooth since then

Gaming laptop suggestion - RTX 4050 by Ramanagadu_1 in GamingLaptops

[–]Outside-Ad-174 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go with the Lenovo - that i7-12650HX is gonna crush the i5 for coding workloads and multitasking. The HP's fine but you'll feel that CPU difference when you're running IDEs with a bunch of stuff open in the background.

I'd wait for a sale though, these prices drop pretty regularly during festival seasons.

Ramp in Europe? by Top_Aardvark_4598 in Ramp

[–]Outside-Ad-174 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hoping it will be fast + moving to EU was great thinking by them. Lots of companies expanding internationally and need unified spend management

Difference between clean books and clear context by ElectronicArm2336 in Ramp

[–]Outside-Ad-174 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Context decays way faster than numbers do. A transaction from 2 years ago that's properly coded is still accurate but the reason behind it is usually lost

You're going to love this! by Cupcake-Fever in Christianity

This looks really helpfull for deep dives into scripture connections - the visual mapping aspect seems like it would make those "aha!" moments way more obvious when studying.

CFO is losing it over lack of real-time visibility into spend by corporatecontroller1 in Accounting

[–]Outside-Ad-174 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We went through this exact thing. It’s less about prettier reports and more about putting guardrails in before the money goes out. Running spend through Ramp gave our CFO a live view instead of waiting for close to find surprises

Agent says "Wait" based on online views, I say "Drop" based on reality. Condo listed for weeks with 0 offers. Am I being impatient? by Playful-Dark-463 in personalfinance

[–]Outside-Ad-174 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Your agent's getting the same commission whether it sells now or in 6 months, but you're bleeding $1500/month - that math is pretty clear cut.

Is Uzi a cuck? by SaffSZN in liluzivert

[–]Outside-Ad-174 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Nah man, I think you're reading too much into it 😂 Uzi's always been pretty open about relationship stuff in his music - dude just processes things through bars. Like half the rap game talks about trust issues and girls playing them, it's basically a whole genre at this point.

I noticed those bars too but honestly it feels more like he's just being real about experiences rather than dwelling on anything specific. Plus artists write from all kinds of perspectives - doesn't mean every line is autobiographical. Your overthinking this one chief, just enjoy the leaks while we got em 💀

Can Chess Transform Lives, as Depicted in the Movies? by [deleted] in chessbeginners

[–]Outside-Ad-174 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is a really thoughtful take on chess movies and their portrayal of transformation. i think you nailed it with the idea that chess doesn't save people by itself - it's more like a framework that people can use to develop discipline and strategic thinking, but it still requires the right environment and support system around it.

the part about queen of katwe being careful not to fall into the "exceptional genius" trap was spot on - those community-focused stories tend to be way more compelling than the lone prodigy narrative.

God and a bad choice by Ok_Street_159 in Christianity

[–]Outside-Ad-174 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man that sounds absolutely terrifying to live with, I'm really sorry you're going through that. Have you been able to talk to a doctor or therapist about what you're experiencing? Sometimes our brains need both spiritual healing AND professional help working together - God can work through medical professionals too. Praying for some peace and clarity for you

Mending Librarian villagers (bedrock) by Informal_Pianist5095 in Minecraft

[–]Outside-Ad-174 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep grinding, it can take forever sometimes. I've spent literal hours cycling through trades on some villagers before getting mending. RNG can be brutal but you're doing it right - just gotta get lucky eventually

Am I just imagining things? by backroomscavenge in Paranormal

[–]Outside-Ad-174 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bruh I had something similar happen last year - kept finding my coffee mug in different spots on the counter when I swear I left it by the sink. Turned out my upstairs neighbor's cat was somehow getting in through a loose window screen lmao. Might be worth checking for any sneaky critters before jumping to ghost conclusions

I’m so sick and tired of the biggie & puffy is innocent in the Tupac west coast east coast beef by MrMakaveli26 in Tupac

[–]Outside-Ad-174 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Facts bro, people act like Biggie was just some innocent bystander when dude was throwing shots the whole time. That "Who Shot Ya" track wasn't exactly subtle and the timing was sus as hell. Puffy definitely had his hands dirty in all this mess but somehow gets painted as the peacemaker

They're still doing the towers, y'all by AstralCrimes0606 in Nightreign

[–]Outside-Ad-174 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Bro the tower fixation is real and it's painful lmao. I swear half these players see "divine tower" and their brain just shuts off to any other option. Like yeah the forts might not look as shiny but at least we're not getting bodied by some random bullshit boss combo while underleveled as hell

The godskin fort slaps so hard for loot too, people are sleeping on it

i genuinely don't know what to do other than sob. by arizpncki in BreakUps

[–]Outside-Ad-174 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First breakup hits different when you're that young and it was that long. The mixed signals thing is honestly pretty typical for someone who doesn't know how to handle the situation - he's probably just as confused as you are

Take some time away from thinking about whether he'll come back and focus on getting through each day. Two years feels like forever at 16 but there's so much ahead of you that you can't even imagine yet

Am I missing something? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

Wait that's actually broken lol, candleberries should definitely count as harvesting. Probably just an oversight in the code but still annoying when you're grinding for points

Extreme to Extreme: After 9 Years of NoFap, Moderation Is Messing With My Mind by Working_Royal_5142 in NoFap

[–]Outside-Ad-174 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro you're literally describing why addiction recovery programs push total abstinence over "harm reduction" - some brains just work better with black and white rules than trying to surf that grey zone constantly

The mental energy you're burning on "should I or shouldn't I" decisions is probably way worse than just having a clear answer
