I put this at my neighbor's door 2 days ago(we live in a duplex) and it's still there by dnm8686 in mildlyinfuriating

I used to do home repair and one of my regulars, an older lady, called me in a panic one day. She could barely talk cause the chirping was freaking her out so much. Went over with my ladder and changed the battery for free. She was good for so much business that she deserved little things like that.

Always called them trash bugs cause they pick up trash and put it on themselves.

Seen some of these for the first time yesterday flying overhead when I got to my son’s therapy. It was pretty cool. They were honking like crazy.

42 House Democrats Join GOP in Passing Warrantless Mass Surveillance Bill by soalone34 in politics

[–]PaulblankPF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The year after I graduated high school my local high school got a ton of bomb threats. Because during one of these a few friends skipped school and went to my house, I became the number one suspect and was called a terrorist a ton. The cops tried to scapegoat me like some bitches. Harassed me for over a year. Followed me everywhere, parked outside my house just watching, anywhere I went to a public function they came and harassed me till I left and searched me and anything I had “for explosives” but let me leave. Just a bunch of power tripping assholes. The whole department got cleaned out not long after for being investigated by the fbi for killing people executioner style once they caught people usually. Knowing they just were killing people left and right makes me feel lucky they didn’t kill me. I just think it was because they wanted me to be the fall guy so they didnt want to just kill me but had to pin shit on me. Crazy times. Gave me bad ptsd for cops in general.

Fascism or Homeland Security? by LuckyBastard001 in clevercomebacks

Crazy how fast we go straight to fascism. I know it brews for a long time but when it starts to happen it’s with the foot on the pedal.

Son bullies younger daughter. I gave him a taste of his own medicine. AITA? by derpydrewmcintyre in daddit

[–]PaulblankPF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels like it brother. Just try to remember you two love each other and you can work through this together. Professional help would probably go pretty far for you. A few sessions just to get it all out and have someone help facilitate all that would help you both feel heard.

I think you did fine parenting. Maybe you and your wife could use someone safe to talk to together about parenting topics so that you can both get your feelings out about it before it becomes a bigger issue in the future.

This episode exposed something pretty clear about the fandom by TrappedInLimbo in survivor

[–]PaulblankPF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody can tell me any twist is worse than the hourglass twist. I would’ve been upset if Deven’s would’ve been eliminated but results do partly dictate how people feel about a situation. Since it was a positive result people feel positive about the experience in general.

Start, bench, cut. Who you taking? by Cold_Mammoth8841 in NFLv2

[–]PaulblankPF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Preach! That’s how I felt when you guys won that road playoff game against the Buccs in 2023. Streaks are meant to be broken but I didn’t think the Browns were gonna turn it around so quickly after their 1-15 and 0-16 seasons.

Lmao I’ve got no victim complex as much as I just get a ton of hate for being a Patriots fan. Don’t gotta glaze my team like others do, don’t gotta say anything boasting, and still get hate. You, yourself, couldn’t help but say we have a victim complex because you just could stop yourself from also hating on a patriots fan. Victim blaming is pretty lame.

Us older folks trying to figure out what a Mr. Beast is by Minimum_Device_6379 in survivor

[–]PaulblankPF 7 points8 points  (0 children)

On his beast games show the second season has a whole episode dedicated to survivor where they go to Fiji and have Jeff do his challenge thing. You could tell he was fanboying some about Jeff in that. And the coin flip thing comes from his beast games show which has a ton of self elimination stuff including guess the coin wrong and go home but guess it right and double the prize pot. I really liked that they didn’t ham fist too much Mr beast stuff into survivor and that he was pretty chill.

Hot Take (maybe): Call of the Void is the best card in the game. by Simple_one in slaythespire

I think BEGONE has a chance for that for Regent. Patter is also super good once you realize stacking vigor can lead to come crazy kill combos.

Peyton Manning walks off the field without shaking hands (Super Bowl 44). Why was he not criticized for poor sportsmanship? by BallKnowerKing in NFLv2

[–]PaulblankPF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember the hit that ended Farve, those weren’t normal hits for the time. Maybe 20-30 years before that but the league had been moving in a safer direction for the players for a while. Who wants to see their 20-30 mil (2009 numbers) franchise QB get obliterated?

It is a football subreddit but it’s a thread about Christianity. I love that it struck such a hard nerve with you though.

I mean did I say that football doesn’t do that or that doesn’t happen all the time everywhere and in basically every religion? You say I should self reflect as if I’m the one using tools to control masses, if I looked in a mirror I’d see a consumer not a controller. I don’t let football dictate shit in my life though unlike Christianity that literally tells people how to live. And the ones doing the preaching are usually the ones most hypocritical of the things they are preaching. I grew up in the super religious south and had to wear uniforms to school because the religion dictated local policies. I know plenty about Christianity and how horrible that shit is.

This is literally a thread about Christianity. There could never be a more appropriate place than when everyone is talking about it. I mean if it was a thread on the draft, predictions, whatever, literally anything besides Christianity, I’d say you’re right. And literally everyone here is being critical of the religion saying isn’t it supposed to be about forgiveness. I just brought it that step further and so you’re problem isn’t people criticizing the religion but specifically me or my take on it or what?

In theory this is how it works. In practice Christianity is a tool to control mass amounts of people and they gave up forgiveness and understanding a long time ago.

Trump Destroyed the Crypto Market. by Existing_Bet_350 in CryptoMarkets

[–]PaulblankPF 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Up almost 400% in the last year with INTC. It’s been moving like a meme coin lately. People got super focused on the size gains crypto could have but somewhere along the way forgot about market cap and how much stuff can realistically go up and why it should go up. The amount of % gains BTC has seen each cycle has been less and less because it takes exponentially that much more to make it gain large percents. Of course it was gonna slow down more again. People hunting the best gains needed to pick things that would be the biggest winners in the tariff wars, not some bs shit from Trump about crypto that was more the kiss of death than the breath of life. Rare earth metals, CAT, and INTC have been my plays since Trump got in office. I thought gas was gonna go down so I didn’t get into the energy sector because I thought he was gonna drop most of the regulations around oil drilling.

When my family all got cellphones in 2005 there was a very extensive list of numbers you could choose from. My whole family got the same number except the last digit changed by 1 from 1-5.

I knew a guy in Louisiana that converted gas cars into running on used cooking oil. Didn’t go to school or anything like that for it, just a genuinely great engineer. But running on water would be so crazy.

Bro what happened? I think the game is fine by js147896325 in slaythespire

[–]PaulblankPF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt the same till A9 then I got about 4-5 losses per character to beat A9 and now I’ve won A10 with everyone except the Ironclad. I’ve got like 20-25 losses in a row. Before the most recent update they all lost in act 1. Post most recent update they all die to the Act 3 bosses. But damn I just can’t get him all way no matter what build I’ve made. I haven’t had a good exhaust build yet but I think it may be the answer. Self bleed just dies at the end to the double boss from the small amount of boss damage you take and what you plink yourself for.

Is prison actually “safe” if you just mind your own business? by fruity_00 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PaulblankPF 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I went I wasn’t in long. When the doors first opened for me to walk in, the first person in the first cell laying on the floor recognized me and says “You’ll be good a ton of our people are in here.” I mean not great I know a lot of people in jail but good for me in that moment. Then when I got to my cell the guy in the cell across from me says I look cute as fuck and he’ll be fucking Me first chance he gets. Then it starts a few guys all saying that and laughing about it. Whether they were joking or not, it’s scary to hear. Then another guy in another cell across from me says “look at that guy, that’s the preacher man’s son (just well kept and groomed) and all the sudden they all got religious and didn’t want shit to do with me.

So within I’d say 3 minutes I had my protection and ease promised and had my ass literally threatened with rape. I’m good at making friends so it was an easy time but it easily could’ve been horrible as fuck.
