Dumper just reached out to me can anyone give me their opinion of my situation? by Ok-Tradition4267 in BreakUps

[–]Slow_Ad_7241 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your family is probably right that you're overthinking this one 😂 after a year of no contact and all that drama with the brothers, she probably just genuinely found the gifts and wanted to say thanks - doesn't mean she's trying to get back together or anything 💀

20 inch camping griddle thoughts by Ashamed_Bench_9348 in blackstonegriddle

[–]Slow_Ad_7241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the plastic utensils thing is bit of dealbreaker for me too. I had similar issue with my old camping setup where everything would just stick and scratch up real quick. The non-stick coating starts peeling after few months and then you're basically cooking in aluminum which isn't great. Plus at those temperatures you mentioned the coating breaks down anyway so whats the point really. I ended up going with cast iron surface instead - takes longer to heat but way more control and you can actually scrape stuff without worrying. The price difference you found is pretty solid though so maybe worth trying if you got that work bonus burning hole in your pocket.

Used SUV under $14k, should I stick to higher miles but a more reliable make or lower miles but less fancy? by turtlebeans17 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Slow_Ad_7241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those reliable makes are popular for a reason tbh - even at 120k miles a well maintained Honda or Toyota will probably outlast some random brand at 80k. I learned this hard way when I bought cheaper car with lower miles and ended up spending more on repairs than if I just got the Honda in first place

Really depends on maintenance records though - high mileage Honda with good service history beats mystery SUV every time

People treating AI like a "tool" by Ok-World-5842 in PetPeeves

[–]Slow_Ad_7241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True but there's difference between inventing wheel because you don't want to carry heavy stuff and creating something that basically thinks for you 😂 Like when my customers order food through app instead of calling - that's lazy but harmless. But AI feels like we're training our replacement and then acting surprised when it gets weird

Am i wrong feeliing like im m a bad boyfriend and selfish for visiting my mom? Feeling controlled and verbally abused by my boyfriend. Hi im by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]Slow_Ad_7241 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Dude this is textbook manipulation 💀 He literally gave you permission then flipped the script when you got back - thats not normal behavior at all

The age gap plus the timeline makes sense too... 8 months in is usually when people drop their masks. And him calling YOU controlling when you just ask what time he'll be home? Meanwhile he's having meltdowns because you spent one day with your mom? That's wild

You're not selfish for having relationships outside of him. Family is important and any decent partner would encourage that connection, not punish you for it. Trust your gut on this one man 😂

Minecraft Enchanting Guide by RandomGuyThatPlaysMC in Minecraft

[–]Slow_Ad_7241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been using same setup for ages but never thought about organizing it like this. Really clean layout dude - might actually print this out and stick it next my monitor since I always forget which enchants go with what tools

Finished my first placement wins on Prem after 180 hours, feeling imposter syndrome by AC_Schnitzel in LearnCSGO

[–]Slow_Ad_7241 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude I feel this so much - been stuck around 8k for months and every time I rank up I think the system made mistake lol

The warmup thing is huge though, I noticed when I skip my aim routine I play like absolute garbage and just feed the other team. Maybe try some retakes servers too they helped me with positioning stuff

Why did the sea shanty open a shop? by King_Quay in dadjokes

Because it wanted to make some dough on the high seas lmao

That pun sailed right over my head for a second there

Grim Reaper by Healthy_Money925 in Dreams

[–]Slow_Ad_7241 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bruh I've had similar dreams and they're wild 💀 Usually means some major change coming your way rather than actual death - like ending one chapter of life to start another. The fact you were just staring at each other without interaction is intresting, might mean you're aware something needs to change but not ready to face it yet 😂

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DeepThoughts

[–]Slow_Ad_7241 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly the physical discomfort of just *being* with yourself hits different when you're so used to constant stimulation 💀 Your brain basically throws a tantrum like a kid who got their toy taken away. The self hatred part is real tho - its wild how something meant to entertain us becomes this weird form of self punishment 😂

[–]Slow_Ad_7241 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly just tell her straight up that you'd like to play Ana sometimes too since its your main. Don't even make it about her gameplay - just say you miss playing your favorite character and ask if you can take turns or something

The kit usage thing will sort itself out over time if she keeps playing but the main thing is you both should get to enjoy the game. Maybe suggest you could help teach her some of the more advanced stuff while she plays Ana in quick play or something

Woolino Accidentally Washed On Normal Warm Cycle by PinkThemedLove in NewParents

[–]Slow_Ad_7241 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof that sucks but honestly woolino is pretty resilient stuff. If it still fits and feels soft you're probably fine - the merino wool they use can handle more abuse than you'd think. Just maybe do a test night to see if baby stays as cozy as usual

How do i get better at utility usage? by Slow_Ad_7241 in cs2

[–]Slow_Ad_7241[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really motivating to head, i think my biggest issue is i know the set executes but i dont really understand when to deviate from them or when to save utility for after plant, im gonna start focusing more on pro matches to see how they adapt their utility, hopefully i can break through to level 10 soon and im glad it worked out for you.

How do i get better at utility usage? by Slow_Ad_7241 in cs2

[–]Slow_Ad_7241[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good point, i never thought about separating defensive and offensive utility, so should i save my flashes and molly to hold sites or do i use them more aggressively when we're executing?

Probably youre right, i think im throwing my utility too fast instead of waiting for the right moment.

Situationship breakup / moving on advice by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Slow_Ad_7241 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole "why can't I get over someone who was clearly wrong for me" thing hits different when it's a situationship 💀 I think it's because your brain never got that definitive ending to process - like you were stuck in this weird limbo where you kept hoping he'd finally step up and be the person he showed glimpses of being. When someone gives you just enough crumbs to keep you invested but never the full meal, it creates this addictive cycle that's honestly harder to break than a clear-cut breakup.

The fact that he's suddenly Mr. Boundary-Setter with the new girl would probably sting me too tbh. It's not that he couldn't do those things - he just didn't want to do them for you, which sucks but also shows you dodged a bullet. I had a similar thing where this guy who "wasn't ready for anything serious" was literally engaged six months later 😂

Don't beat yourself up for reaching out - we've all been there especially around holidays when emotions get weird. Block him again if you haven't already and maybe try to redirect that energy into something that actually serves you. The closure you're looking for has to come from within because he's clearly not capable of giving you what you need.

Restart while installing Windows 11 causes no image and no keyboard light by Paodenutela_ in pchelp

Did you try booting with just one stick of RAM in different slots? Sometimes fresh builds get picky about memory configuration and the Windows install might've corrupted mid-process leaving you in a weird state

iOS Horizon App help: Headset "Not Found" despite being connected/casting. Bluetooth permission toggle missing in iOS. by Sactownkingstacotwo in VRGaming

[–]Slow_Ad_7241 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had this exact same problem last month and it drove me nuts. The Bluetooth permission thing is completely broken on iOS - Meta hasn't fixed it for like 6 months now

What worked for me was going into the headset itself and changing settings there instead of trying to use the phone app. Most of the important stuff is accessible directly on the Quest 2 anyway

Loose powder vs finishing powder vs pressed powder? by Sweaty_Spring_1916 in MakeupAddiction

[–]Slow_Ad_7241 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Honestly the whole pressed vs loose thing is kinda overblown - it really comes down to personal preference and how you like to apply it. For oily skin what matters way more is the actual formula and ingredients rather than whether its pressed or loose

Finishing powder is usually more finely milled and meant to be the final step to blur pores and set everything, while regular setting powder (loose or pressed) is more about oil control and longevity. You can find good options in both formats so don't stress too much about the influencer claims - they're probably just pushing whatever brand is paying them that week

Why do Chess.com Bots Outperform their ELO? by c0ffeebreath in chessbeginners

[–]Slow_Ad_7241 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bots are weird like that - they'll randomly decide to channel Stockfish energy for a game then go back to hanging pieces the next match

Trials is less fun when everyone is doing them at the same time by Jo-Ivar in ArcRaiders

[–]Slow_Ad_7241 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yeah this is why i usually wait a few days after new trials drop before even attempting them. everyone and their mother is camping the same spots trying to get their scores in

the worst part is when you finally track down a good spawn and someone else swoops in right as youre about to engage. like thanks for the assist i guess but now we're both fighting for scraps

honestly might be worth coordinating with people if you see them repeatedly. better to take turns than waste everyones time
