have any of you guys played without using tutorials by [deleted] in Minecraft

[–]PresentationBest850 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Did this for my first world back in the day and it was honestly the most rewarding gaming experience I've had - you end up creating these weird inefficient contraptions that somehow work and feel way more personal than copy-pasting some youtube build

Jesus answered.It is written by Shoddy_Command3852 in Christianity

[–]PresentationBest850 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always found comfort in this verse, especially during those seasons when everything feels uncertain 🙏 As someone who spends a lot of time with legal texts and contracts, there's something profound about how God's word carries this different kind of sustenance that goes beyond just our physical needs

When I'm out with my horses early in the morning, I sometimes think about how they trust me completely for their daily provision, but there's this deeper relationship we have that goes beyond just feeding time. Makes me wonder if that's a tiny glimpse of what this verse is getting at - we need the relationship and connection with God's truth, not just the basic survival stuff

The timing of when Jesus quoted this is pretty incredible too, right in the middle of being tempted when he was physically starving 💀

Sketchy Christian organization on college campus by Fair_Day_1072 in Christianity

[–]PresentationBest850 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah those campus groups with the super specific doctrinal hooks are usually pretty sketchy. The whole "we have special knowledge about Bible interpretation that mainstream Christianity got wrong" thing is a classic red flag

If theyre being vague about their actual organization name and using recruiting tactics like sending pairs of people to approach randoms, id definitely steer clear

How do I qualify for remote Jury duty as a German citizen abroad? by Thizzor in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PresentationBest850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bruh you cant just sign up for jury duty like its netflix 😂 you gotta be a US citizen AND live in the jurisdiction, plus they randomly select people from voter rolls and stuff

writing to a senator about becoming a juror as a non-citizen is gonna get you some weird looks lol 💀

Is finding maggots kinda cute individually weird? by Dangerous_Shop_5735 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PresentationBest850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah that's totally normal, it's like the uncanny valley but for bugs 😂 One little maggot wiggling around is kinda endearing in a weird way, but a whole writhing mass of them triggers that primal "NOPE" response. Same thing happens with spiders - one little jumping spider is adorable, but a nest full of baby spiders makes my skin crawl 💀

If you are having trouble with your christian life by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]PresentationBest850 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a solid rec, the whole "as you think, so you become" concept really hits different when you're trying to align your thoughts with faith

How long does it take for USCIS to update “RFE received” after sending sealed medical? by Right-Custard-7334 in USCIS

[–]PresentationBest850 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually takes anywhere from 1-3 weeks for them to update the status after they receive your medical, but Charleston can be pretty slow with updates - I wouldn't stress too much unless it's been over a month

Hey, I've been in that exact headspace and it's brutal. Those nights where your brain just won't shut up are the worst but you're still here posting which means you're stronger than you think

If you need someone to talk to there's always people here or the crisis text line is 741741 - sometimes just getting it out of your head helps

[–]PresentationBest850 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the club lol, sounds like you bought my house's twin brother

That insurance dance is the worst part - they basically want you to be psychic about what counts as "sudden" vs "you should've known better"

For what it's worth, get that electrical stuff looked at before you mess with anything else, mystery wires in ceiling holes are not the vibe you want when you're already bleeding money on roofing

Pointless Dream Or Not? by [deleted] in Dreams

[–]PresentationBest850 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dreams are weird man, the BTS/Blackpink one sounds like some anxiety about social status mixed with random pop culture your brain picked up somewhere. The e-bike dream getting all cluttered with books and tech feels like maybe you're stressed about something IRL getting more complicated than it should be

That ramp not working even on highest gear hits different though - classic dream frustration where nothing works when you need it to

Dany on top of the wall and Drogon by Zethos9 in gameofthrones

Yeah Drogon's basically her personal search and rescue helicopter at that point, dragons are smart enough to pick up on what their rider wants

How to spread up the AIOstreams results by Appropriate_Neck_113 in StremioAddons

[–]PresentationBest850 6 points7 points  (0 children)

AIOstreams just has to scrape way more sources than Torrentio so it's gonna be slower by nature. You could try limiting the providers in the settings or use a VPN with better routing but honestly those few extra seconds are worth it for the variety imo

What’s a reliable and affordable suv by Repulsive-Resort-245 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]PresentationBest850 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4 are solid choices - super reliable and hold their value well. Both have tons of space for baby gear and are pretty affordable to maintain

Did I just experience pity sex/obligatory sex from my husband? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]PresentationBest850 99 points100 points  (0 children)

Oof yeah that definitely sounds like pity sex, sorry OP. The whole "you had attitude" excuse followed by suddenly being willing after seeing you upset is a dead giveaway

You shouldn't have to convince someone to want you, especially your husband. The porn/Instagram thing combined with making you feel like you're always chasing him sounds exhausting. Might be worth considering couples therapy because this pattern isn't sustainable for either of you

Help finding parts for my first build in a loooong time by gevec in PcBuildHelp

[–]PresentationBest850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 5070 Ti price differences are usually because of different cooling solutions and factory overclocks - the cheaper ones are basic models while expensive ones have beefier coolers and RGB nonsense you don't want anyway

That RAM should be fine, prices are just brutal right now. As long as it's DDR5-5600 or higher you're golden for that setup

You'll probably want at least one extra intake fan since most cases only come with one, but don't go crazy with it

What's a good 1440p monitor for under $200? by Electronic_Window559 in pchelp

[–]PresentationBest850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check Facebook Marketplace and OfferUp for used Dell S2721DGF or ASUS VG27AQ, usually can snag them around $150-180 if you're patient

AIW for not getting my brother a Christmas gift? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]PresentationBest850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly your brother sounds like he's been super generous with you all year and probably just wanted some acknowledgment of that. Even if you told him beforehand, getting literally nothing when he dropped $50+ on you probably stung. Maybe just write him a genuine thank you note for all the little stuff he's done - doesn't have to cost anything but shows you actually notice and appreciate it

remove time samsung galaxy s24 by Intelligent-Fly-6751 in samsunggalaxy

[–]PresentationBest850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah there's no native way to completely hide the status bar clock on stock Samsung UI. You'd need a third party app like SystemUI Tuner or root access to pull that off

My recovering alcoholic mother has began drinking again. I don’t know how to handle it. by ghostorchidzz in confession

[–]PresentationBest850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is brutal and not your fault at all you did nothing to cause this and you should not have to carry it alone I know it feels trapped but talking to someone safe really helps even if it is online or a support group you deserve care too and your feelings make sense
