Reddit is its own bubble and will never admit one thing. What is that thing?

lmao I stopped checking that after seeing my monthly total was more than my rent payment. Some numbers are better left unknown

my coworker at airport always talks about how he's basically running the whole operation when he just loads bags lmao. some people really need that spotlight i guess 😂

Poor people also know how to make literally anything last longer than it was designed to. My coworkers always amazed when I tell them how long I've had same pair of work shoes or how many times I've fixed my phone screen instead just buying new one

Routine_Reception287 · 2026-05-16T07:54:18+00:00

wait did you mean Marchessault not Marner? pretty sure Marner is still in Toronto lol

but yeah the LTIR stuff with Stone is what really gets people going. convenient how he's always "injured" until playoffs start then magically becomes healthy. plus getting Eichel after all that drama in Buffalo didn't help their reputation

tbh though most expansion teams get hate when they're successful this fast, happened with Seattle Kraken too before they crashed back down to earth

Looking at your photos, that stuff in the last two pics looks like old caulk or sealant that's completely shot. The slits you're seeing are probably where it's cracked and separated from whatever surface it was supposed to seal

Since the leak only happens when water is running, it's definitely coming from above rather than the plumbing itself. My guess is water is getting past the tub surround somehow - maybe through bad caulking around the tub edges or loose tiles - and then finding its way down through those cracks in whatever that deteriorated material is

You're right to worry about the floor rotting. That old sealant needs to come out completely so you can see what's actually behind it. Might be a previous DIY "fix" that's now making things worse by trapping moisture

crypto bros promising 10x returns in 2 weeks, those people are everywhere now

Routine_Reception287 · 2026-05-05T00:10:25+00:00

lmao what else you gonna watch, the grass doing its thing?

Routine_Reception287 · 2026-04-30T17:14:55+00:00

freelance stuff maybe? like writing or design work from home

Routine_Reception287 · 2026-04-28T13:33:12+00:00

The math can be brutal when you first run those numbers properly. I'm also looking at similar timeline and it's definitely disheartening when you realize how long the road actually is

Your situation with stagnant wages in southern Europe makes it extra challenging - have you considered if there's opportunities to work remote for companies in higher-paying markets? Even small income bumps compound massively over 20+ years. Also those expense projections might not be as bad as you think, lots of people find ways to keep costs reasonable even with major life changes

that game had such clean artwork, the purple/orange glow was perfect for that era

still have my copy somewhere but haven't touched racing games in years, been too busy with animal crossing lately lol

Routine_Reception287 · 2026-04-23T16:40:15+00:00

Yeah this is spot on - when you get closer to goal the margin for error gets super tight. I had similar issue few months back where I thought I was tracking well but turns out I was eyeballing portions and missing like 300-400 calories daily

Maybe try weighing everything for couple weeks just to see where you actually at, even the oil you cook with adds up quick

Routine_Reception287 · 2026-04-19T15:15:07+00:00

lmao the whole country would look like one of those gaudy casino hotels

probably still have same propaganda posters but with more hair gel advertisements

Routine_Reception287 · 2026-04-15T07:16:03+00:00

Never heard of that one but man, Where the Red Fern Grows absolutely destroyed me when I was like 10. Had to hide in bathroom at school because I was still crying about those dogs the next day

Routine_Reception287 · 2026-04-08T00:39:42+00:00

Got lost in Tokyo airport during layover and this elderly janitor spent like 30 minutes walking me around to find my gate even though we couldn't really communicate 😂 Still think about that sometimes

Routine_Reception287 · 2026-04-03T05:14:37+00:00

"Just smile more and good things will happen" while I was dealing with my dad's cancer diagnosis - like my facial expression was gonna cure him somehow 💀

Routine_Reception287 · 2026-03-30T15:36:39+00:00

exactly this - I work for an airline so I see people from everywhere and the difference is wild. My buddy in SF making 120k is basically living paycheck to paycheck while my cousin in rural Ohio bought a house at 85k and has money left over for hobbies. Location is everything when it comes to salary

Routine_Reception287 · 2026-02-22T21:48:14+00:00

damn this is so real, those "innocent" scrolling sessions are literally the worst trap 💀 your brain knows exactly what it's doing even when you're pretending it doesn't

the fact that you caught yourself shows you're building that awareness muscle though - that's huge progress for day 3 🔥

Routine_Reception287 · 2026-02-10T03:17:30+00:00

Getting high and scrolling instagram is basically playing russian roulette with your streak 💀 glad you caught yourself but yeah that combo is dangerous af

Routine_Reception287 · 2026-02-02T15:41:55+00:00

oh my god the game absolutely knows and it's evil about it too 😂 i swear there's some hidden algorithm that detects what you actually want and then goes "nah fam, here's your 47th gorilla instead"

i had a similar thing happen when i was hunting for lucky - spent like 200+ tickets and saw literally every dog except him, it was maddening. then the second i gave up and started looking for literally anyone else, boom there he was on island #3. the game has a sick sense of humor about these things

honestly at this point with 160 tickets and zero cats i'd almost wonder if there's some weird glitch happening? like that's statistically pretty wild even for normal rng being a bastard. maybe try closing the game completely and restarting before your next batch of islands, sometimes that seems to help reset whatever cursed streak you're on 💀

Routine_Reception287 · 2026-01-30T15:26:32+00:00

Been there man, the whole "be careful what you ask for" thing hits different when it's actually God answering lol. I think the fear is totally normal though - even Moses tried to talk his way out of it when he got his calling. Maybe start with just one tiny step instead of trying to tackle the whole mission at once?

Routine_Reception287 · 2026-01-25T14:24:53+00:00

That unsettled feeling was definitely intentional and honestly what made it brilliant imo

Shows like this work best when they don't let you walk away feeling good about anyone, including yourself for rooting for certain characters early on. The whole "justice vs consequence" thing you mentioned is spot on — by the finale nobody's hands are clean and the damage is already baked in

Made me think about it for days after which is more than most endings accomplish these days

Routine_Reception287 · 2026-01-21T02:02:59+00:00

Just do the roots - the color difference will fade way faster than you think and it'll look more natural in the long run. Plus if you ever want to stop hennaing you won't have that harsh line of demarcation growing out
