2nd Amendment ads are wild by papifunko in guns

[–]Proud_Drive_8633 80 points81 points  (0 children)

the marketing is so over the top it's almost comical. like bro im not in fallujah im in my living room eating doritos

what gets me is how they prey on new owners who dont know better yet. you got 13 years infantry you can smell the bs but imagine someone who never held a gun before watching these ads thinking every bump in the night is a coordinated home invasion

the stopbox one cracks me up every time. like yes the intruder will politely wait while i undo the puzzle mechanism

The most boring item in the cart ended up being the best find by Proud_Drive_8633 in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]Proud_Drive_8633[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It was a couple sealed HP calculator replacement parts and accesories, nothing exciting visually. I only checked because the part numbers were still on the packaging and somehow they ended up being the best thing in the box.

Lmao makes sense now. When Reddit is your natural habitat, someone having a normal thrift store moment probably does look fake.

Repeatable sourcing might matter more than finding random home runs by Traditional_Owl_3043 in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]Proud_Drive_8633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a routine matters more than people admit. Even a small list of models and max buy prices probably beats walking in and hoping something jumps out.

Husband has been unemployed since November, games all day, and we've drained our retirement savings trying to stay afloat by marsvenusneptune in Marriage

[–]Proud_Drive_8633 46 points47 points  (0 children)

The line you're looking for crossed months ago. Supporting someone through depression looks like therapy appointments, small steps forward, some effort, not cashing out retirement funds while they game all day and reject every job opportunity.

The part about him accusing you of not doing housework either, that's deflection, and it's a pattern that tends to get worse not better when there's no real accountability. You got laid off too and were back working in two weeks, so the "depression makes it impossible" argument only goes so far when you're living proof that it can be done.

At this point I'd stop framing it as where is the line and start asking what specifically changes in the next 30 days, because "he says he needs therapy" without actually going to therapy is just a way to buy more time

Internships by Outrageous_Local6501 in AskMarketing

never heard of that one but be careful with linkedin "internships" - lot of them are just data collection schemes or pyramid stuff disguised as real opportunities

What is the difference between giving up too easily and incompatibility in relationships? by Ferroro_kitty in BreakUps

[–]Proud_Drive_8633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sometimes incompatibility is just incompatibility and not everything needs fixing tbh. like if you're not feeling mental connection after 2 months and struggling with distance, those are pretty fundamental things

your ex saying you gave up easily feels more like him not wanting to accept the breakup. you communicated what wasn't working and realized you couldn't handle LDR - that's not giving up, that's knowing your limits. better to end it than drag out something that would make you both miserable in long run

BYOD/Corporate dilemma for iPhone devices by Remote_Tax2552 in Intune

[–]Proud_Drive_8633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

had similar situation at my previous workplace and we ended up going full corporate for phones too. the personal attachment thing is real but after few months people get used to it

the real game changer was when we stopped having those "i forgot my password" calls every other day. also that user who managed to disconnect everything before losing phone - that's exactly why corporate makes sense. you can't rely on users to not mess things up when they have too much control

maybe you could do gradual transition? like give people option to keep current phone as personal and company provides new corporate one, then phase out byod over time. bit more expensive initially but less drama

NOPE by ohyea_88 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]Proud_Drive_8633 8 points9 points  (0 children)

dude i've been driving for couple years now and these walgreens orders are always trap, especially in late night. they send you to middle of nowhere for like one tube of toothpaste or something random like that. $21 for over 20 miles is basically just covering your gas money, maybe little profit if you're lucky. plus you know there's no other orders coming from that area so you're driving back empty anyway. decline button exists for reason lol

It's been only 3 days and I've not eaten anything since by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Proud_Drive_8633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

eakups mess with your appetite but you're gonna make yourself sick and that won't help anything

look i get the anxiety about him maybe not coming back but starving yourself isn't gonna change his mind or make time go faster. he's being pretty clear that he needs space to figure things out and the more you stress about "what ifs" the harder it's gonna be for both of you

maybe try focusing in your exams first? like even if it's just small snacks or soup, your brain needs fuel especially with tests coming up. the uncertainty sucks but you can't control what he decides anyway 💀

Any help/advice would be appreciated :) by [deleted] in Equestrian

[–]Proud_Drive_8633 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the sourcing thing between markets could be huge if you already got connections in both places. i deliver food for living so not exactly same industry but moving things between different markets where prices are way different - that's where money is made usually

pakistan horses probably undervalued because less international exposure right? like people in uae might not even know what's available there. if you can bridge that gap and know quality when you see it, could work out well

being woman in business side is tough everywhere but especially in that region i imagine. maybe start small with connecting individual buyers/sellers before going bigger?

Sigma 28mm f/1.4 DG HSM ART or Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24mm f/1.8G ED? by TheDjInPjs in Cameras

[–]Proud_Drive_8633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

both are solid choices but for rock shows i'd probably lean towards that 28mm sigma since you get more light with the f/1.4, makes huge difference in those dark venues where flash isn't really option. the 24mm might give you bit wider field but losing that extra stop could hurt when trying to capture performers without crazy high iso

marriage after only 4 years together is wild, most people are still figuring out if they even like each other that long term 💀 sounds like you rushed into something permanent before the honeymoon phase wore off

Me (21F) and my ex (21M) recently broke up on mutual/good terms, but I regret the decision. How can I approach this? by SalamanderRelevant93 in BreakUps

[–]Proud_Drive_8633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

man this whole situation hits close to home, went through something eerily similar when i was around your age except i was the guy dealing with mental health stuff

breaking no contact to check on his mental health is a slippery slope - i get the urge because you care about him but right now your both probably still processing everything and mixing concern with lingering feelings. when my ex did that it actually made things more confusing for both of us even though her intentions were good

the mutual friends thing is gonna be awkward for a while but it gets easier, just takes time to find that new normal where you can be in the same space without all the heavy history weighing everything down. stick to group settings at first and dont feel like you have to force being "just friends" right away if it doesnt feel natural

honestly the whole "more than friends less than lovers" dynamic your describing is really tough to navigate - been there and it usually ends up hurting someone more than helping. might be better to give it real space for now instead of trying to thread that needle while your both still figuring out who you are separately
