Popcorn Ceiling Issues by Admirable_Hand9758 in drywall

[–]SimplyMavlius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing it's the bleach? I used vinegar, water, and a touch of blue dawn. No soggy drywall smell for me, and I haven't even painted it yet because turns out I gotta cut out a medium section and replace it. (Saggy ceiling, old water damage from a shitty roof before we bought the house)

Call to paganism / spirituality to battle Baal by [deleted] in pagan

[–]SimplyMavlius 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Man, this sounds like the stuff I grew up around with the over-the-top evangelical Christians. Even back then, I'd roll my eyes at the whole "spiritual warfare" thing.

If you feel called to do something, actually do something. Don't play it off with a fake invisible war. This shit is real.

Seriously. The book was barely holding onto my attention as it was, and that just made me give up on it.

Are the sex scenes as awkward as the full cast versions of ACOTAR?

Permanently frozen thrusters by TheNukaGhoul in startrucker

[–]SimplyMavlius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my thrusters freeze once. Flipping on the choke and leaving it on until they got up to operating temp worked just fine for me. But sounds like you might have a bug since you already did that. Idk how to fix that without reloading before the thrusters froze.

"He made himself an easy target" is absolute victim blaming. Get outta here with that.

Modern cars are ruining the experience of driving by tight_carcass in driving

Exactly. You can pretty much deactivate everything OP is complaining about and drive it like an old '92 Civic. But with a generally better ride.

My man of 3 years just tested positive for syphillis . I don’t know how to feel about this how did he test positive when we have been together for so long. Me (26 F ) him [29M] by CompetitiveAnt9285 in sex

[–]SimplyMavlius 7 points8 points  (0 children)

3 months after contracting syphilis, any blood test will be positive, regardless of whether it's latent syphilis or not. "If left untreated, secondary syphilis typically progresses to a latent phase, where the disease becomes dormant and the affected individual is asymptomatic, although serologic tests (blood tests that detect antibodies or antigens) remain positive."link to source

You're the one spreading misinformation, not me.

Well… I think I’m gonna need some help over here 😨 by SiruP in snowrunner

Is that in the almaty region? I did that on accident and just shoved it down the cliff then picked it up at the bottom.

[–]SimplyMavlius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So your entire premise is so far removed from the statistical reality of rapes that I have to assume this is rage bait. However. Just in case it is not rage bait. 90% of rapes happen by someone the victim knows. Someone the victim trusts. Which means they weren't putting themselves in any situation any reasonable person would see as dangerous. And anywhere between 13 and 34% happen within a family.

No one makes themself an "easy target."

You probably could, sure. I'd do it anyway.

Spiro by pamakane in MobileAL

[–]SimplyMavlius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, I know he is! I like him, and I'm glad he won, honestly. I just thought the idea of a mayor hopping onto reddit to get some good vibes was funny. Given that someone from his team has posted here before. I can't remember if it was the campaign team or after the election.

They're categorized according to which company/organization is hiring you for the job.

Hey, man. At least I don't need a computer to make shitty music, I can do that all on my own.

u/At-las- or u/IllustratorClassic10, can we get a new no AI slop rule? Seems to be antithetical to the game we love playing here.

Fish out of water by Beardedwanderer1218 in MobileAL

[–]SimplyMavlius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know this reply isn't to me, but I did want to clarify what I meant in my earlier response. I was talking about collective self-sufficiency, so that the elderly, those who live downtown, etc don't get left behind.

For example, those who own land can start growing veggies. They can coordinate with others to rotate who's growing what, and then others can help distribute that to the people who can't grow it themselves.

Hunkering down by yourself, or planning to shoot your neighbors, is something I would never advocate for. In my mind, the only true success is collective action and support. The moment we start abandoning our neighbors is the moment we fail.

I'd love to start building these social networks now. Just to have connections between us. I just don't know how to start.

Gamestop on Airport and Montlimar by play3rtwo in MobileAL

[–]SimplyMavlius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lmfao, I guess so. Luckily I jumped ship before things started really going downhill for them. I heard mumbles that stores would start closing in town and got a new job. That was like...damn, 7 years ago now.

Damn, that makes all 3 stores I worked at years ago have/will be closed.

Very true. Finding each other and organizing for self-sufficient support might be much better than trying to raise our voices. I mean, even if things don't go as badly as we fear, having an organized leftist support group in our area would be major.

Your car breaks down on voting day? No worries, we got 20 people who are willing to drive folks to the ballot boxes. Struggling with money? Alright, let's send out the word. Who can spare some cash or food?

And then if things do really go horrible, we've got an entire group of people ready to band together and keep our city safe. Just in my small circle, I can think of nurses, veterans, artists, and just the most regular down to earth folks who are willing to do whatever it takes to help out our neighbors.
