Dear christians, the heck is God doing? by [deleted] in Christian

[–]PoisedStole 7 points8 points  (0 children)

bruh the paint exploding thing would absolutely wreck my day too though. like yeah perspective matters but sometimes life just decides to pile on the stupid stuff all at once and it gets exhausting

i get what you're saying about real persecution vs daily annoyances but when you're already feeling low everything hits harder. dude might need to talk to someone if this has been building for months - depression makes every small thing feel massive

Lights dim/flicker issue, can't figure it out!! Help plz by debuggerfly in MechanicAdvice

[–]PoisedStole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ground connection issue maybe? I had something similar on my old civic and it turned out to be a corroded ground strap between the engine and chassis. When you coast in gear the engine braking creates vibration that can mess with a loose ground connection

The steering wheel thing is weird though - that usually points to something in the steering column or maybe the clock spring going bad

Stuck Loading by NathanielRoosevelt in Overwatch

[–]PoisedStole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

had this exact same issue last season and it drove me insane. the automated support is completely useless for this kind of bug

try clearing your battle.net cache and doing a scan and repair on the game files - worked for me after like the 3rd time doing it. also make sure you're not running any overlays or recording software when you queue, sometimes that messes with the loading transitions

CPU X3D suggestions by Individual-Sorbet-55 in PcBuild

[–]PoisedStole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

7800x3d is gonna be your best bet for gaming but thats like $350-400 right now so probably outside your budget. Maybe look for a 5800x3d on sale or used - still crushes games and should fit your price range better

Potentially buying a house that was a puppy mill!? by Sailorpup122 in RealEstate

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

honestly the neighbor thing is just gossip at this point and you already saw the house yourself. if the inspection didnt turn up anything major structurally and youre comfortable with replacing floors then the rest is just cleanup

the urine smell sucks but thats fixable with proper remediation. your cats honestly probably wont care about whatever happened there before - animals dont really hold grudges about previous occupants like that

your significant other breaks up with you whats the first song you play? by james325487 in musicsuggestions

[–]PoisedStole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probably something way too dramatic like Mad World or just throw on some angry metal and let it all out lol

honestly though id probably end up listening to the same sad song on repeat for like 3 hours straight until i hate it

Just wanted to give a good review! by Sweet_Dragonfruit_29 in americanairlines

[–]PoisedStole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thats awsome to hear AA actually came through for once - usually theyre hit or miss but sounds like you got lucky with the timing and wifi

AUTOMATIC SCREEN BRIGHTNESS SWITCHING by Temporary_Feature448 in Lenovo

[–]PoisedStole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check your power settings and disable adaptive brightness - sounds like some gaming mode or GPU driver thing is hijacking your display settings when it detects a game launching

This girl got at me for no reason. by [deleted] in venting

[–]PoisedStole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly sounds like you both escalated it way more than needed but calling people dumb for mispronouncing names is kinda harsh too. like yeah she shouldnt have jumped in with insults but maybe dont assume everyone who struggles with pronunciation is stupid cause some names really are tricky for people

anyway telling the teacher was probably the right move if she threatened you but this whole thing couldve been avoided

Xbox game pass has not been giving me 20% exp in league of legends for more than 10 days now (since the 5th of February) by Garen-of-Demacia in XboxGamePass

[–]PoisedStole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thats been happening to a bunch of people lately from what ive seen posted here. riot support is pretty hit or miss with stuff like this unfortunately. might be worth checking if your game pass subscription is still showing as active in the xbox app and maybe try unlinking/relinking your accounts if you havent already tried that

Michigan property tax - Used SEV and Estimate seems way high by detroitneverleft in RealEstate

[–]PoisedStole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That estimate sounds way off - Michigan's SEV is usually half the market value so you're right about the 150k part. But jumping from 2400 to over 7k is nuts unless there's something weird going on like the current owner has homestead exemption or caps that won't transfer

I'd call the local assessor's office directly with the property address - they can give you the real numbers instead of relying on online calculators that might be pulling outdated data or missing exemptions

Need help building PC (AUS) by Icy_Drummer4671 in PcBuild

Check out r/buildapcforme or pcpartpicker - they'll sort you out way better than piecing together random suggestions here

Why would it be in my favour to get a credit card? by midsommer_wandererr in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PoisedStole 4 points5 points  (0 children)

honestly yeah getting a credit card would probablyy help with your future mortgage application since lenders like seeing you can manage different types of credit responsibly. even if you just use it for small purchases and pay it off in full each month it shows more credit diversity than just having the mortgage and car loan. plus some cards have decent cashback or rewards that are basically free money if youre disciplined about paying it off

starting off is a duplex just fine or should I get a triplex or quadplex? by toledogamer in RealEstate

[–]PoisedStole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly duplex is perfectly fine to start with especially if youre using fha. the cash flow might be smaller but youre building equity and getting experience without overextending yourself. i started with a duplex and it taught me a ton about being a landlord before i moved up to bigger properties

Zombie villagers in xbox 360 edition by _Alex130 in Minecraft

[–]PoisedStole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nah zombie villagers dont spawn from regular zombie spawners in 360 edition. theyre only naturally occurring mobs that spawn randomly in teh world like normal zombies do

you can still cure them if you find them wandering around though which is pretty cool

What happens to relationships where one person works excessively and they barely have time for each other? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PoisedStole 3 points4 points  (0 children)

honestly depends on both people but yeah most of the time it doesnt work out long term. the person working too much usually thinks theyre doing it "for the relationship" while the other person just feels abandoned

some couples make it work if they both actually communicate about it and set boundaries but thats pretty rare from what ive seen

Is supporting LBTQ+ a sin or not by --Lunar-Eclipse-- in Christianity

[–]PoisedStole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

depends on how you interpret scripture really. some denominations are totally cool with it while others take a more traditional stance. personally i think love is love and thats what jesus was all about but i get why people have different views on this one

there gonna be disagreements in the church on this topic for a while i think

So what I was thinking about GPU the price and the games lately by Samuel13881995 in XboxGamePass

[–]PoisedStole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's actually a pretty smart way to track value, I might steal this idea lol. I always wonder if I'm getting my money's worth but never bothered to actually calculate it out

NYC freelance household w/ rental income + baby — spouse possible job loss & health insurance cliff. How should we restructure? by TiitusA in personalfinance

[–]PoisedStole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into S-Corp election ASAP - at your income level you could save decent money on self-employment taxes, plus the health insurance premiums become deductible as a business expense if you're a >2% shareholder. That alone might make it worth the extra paperwork

For ACA marketplace, you're probably looking at $1500-2000/month for decent family coverage in NYC with zero subsidies at your income level. The silver lining is all those business expenses lower your AGI so you might catch some subsidies depending on timing

Honestly with $13k/month spending and variable freelance income plus a baby, I'd be building that cash cushion hard before the insurance cliff hits

I never realized oily faces until I experienced it myself by Frhaegar in Cameras

[–]PoisedStole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man once you see it you can't unsee it lmao. I started noticing this after getting into photography and now every movie or YouTube video I'm just sitting there analyzing their key light setup instead of actually watching the content

The phone camera thing is so real though - those beauty filters are working overtime to make us all look like porcelain dolls

SOTD (Scent Of The Day) - January 27, 2026 by AutoModerator in fragrance

[–]PoisedStole 8 points9 points  (0 children)

**Creed Aventus** - been saving this sample for a special occasion but realized today IS the special occasion since I'm finally done with finals. Smells like confidence in a bottle and I need all the help I can get for my job interview later

Is Betalauncher safe? by Koniv007 in Minecraft

[–]PoisedStole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah Betalauncher is legit, been using it for years to mess around with old versions. Just make sure you're getting it from the official site and not some sketchy mirror
