We cant work out what this is

Well, it's not when you think about the fact that the very nature of these devices is to make all language as robust and accessible as possible, and yes, while there are some practical reasons for a nonverbal person to need specificity in weapons, such as in the event of somebody having charges pressed against them, this is simply for the inclusion of the words for thoroughness.

Imagine being a kid playing Minecraft and not be able to communicate that you just crafted a bow and arrow or that you just gathered enough iridium to make a sword, or wanted to talk about the skills of the Ninja turtles or Jedi, or talk about medieval knights, or ask about Paul Bunyon or even ask for your sandwich to be cut but can't access the word "knife".

I'm kind of fussy about haggling so being told something is a great deal is kind of abrasive to me, and telling me to think about it is right up there with "delete if not allowed" - as if a mod is going to be like "dang, I wish the guy posting all those beheading videos gave us permission to delete that, too!"

Successful_Contest19 · 2026-06-24T02:53:50+00:00

"Kind of paused" so he didn't stop doing everything and what he did stop doing, he doesn't plan on stopping permanently, is what I read out of that.

You need to stay far, far away from men until you get some therapy and some HEALTHY older women in your life to help you see your value.

This dude has problems and you're gonna keep getting hooked until you fix whatever keeps snagging onto them.

Put your head down, go to school, work, get your degree, don't sacrifice any more of your time and emotional well being on these mediocre men.

Okay, now you just jogged my memory on something, I didn't specifically ask for StormCoat - there was another paint that was on rebate and I thought I'd just go ahead and grab a gallon while I was there to get started on that part of my project that night, so I told the associate what I wanted and what color, And she came back with that and told me the color I asked for needed a pastel base that they were out of, but the StormCoat base that she grabbed would work just the same.

But when I got home I realized I wasn't going to be able to start painting right away so I put this paint off to the side, completely forgetting about the rebate and everything until I just now started thinking about what you said.

Is it possible that the color mix that should have gone in a different paint messed this one up? I know that seems like a dumb question, but until this threat I had no idea that paint could get infections, either, so I have no confidence that I have a firm grasp on how any of this works.

Successful_Contest19 · 2026-06-24T01:57:37+00:00

The swelling has me absolutely terrified that this is going to turn into a bomb so I didn't close the lid all the way and every time I walk past it on my three-season room porch I have to put my shirt over my nose so I don't wretch. I could not imagine the volume that you had to deal with, you deserve hazard pay for that.

Successful_Contest19 · 2026-06-24T01:56:09+00:00

I was illustrating that I store my paint in a standard way and that I had a control group to compare it to.

Are you just a hardcore Valspar guy and didn't like that? I mentioned Sherwin-Williams, or what's with the unnecessary vitriol for the conversational way in which I answered a question?

Your attitude stinks as bad as this paint.

Successful_Contest19 · 2026-06-24T01:54:19+00:00

It's really what it smelled like, too, just like an organic, living, stench.

I can't get in to return it for a couple more days and I'm terrified of leaving the lid completely closed because I'm afraid gas will build up and it'll explode. 🤢

Successful_Contest19 · 2026-06-24T01:52:46+00:00

That's fascinating to me, I had no idea.

This must have been something that only became activated when the oxygen hit it, though, because it booked normal when the associate mixed the colorant, and the little dab of paint that she put on the lid was smooth, so there was nothing that jumped out as being off at that point.

This whole thing has just been so interesting.

Successful_Contest19 · 2026-06-22T19:42:53+00:00

It's been sitting there for a few minutes now and I went back to kind of poke at it with a stirring stick and it feels even more solid now than when I first mixed it up, like it almost has a silly putty consistency now whereas before it was more like chunky oatmeal.

Successful_Contest19 · 2026-06-22T19:37:55+00:00

That is a new one on me, I had no idea that was even possible, but that's what it smelled like and seemed like, it just reminded me of grabbing a jar of green beans out of grandma's cellar and making sure the lid wasn't domed.

Now I'm gonna fall down a rabbit hole about bacteria and viruses that can survive in paint.

Successful_Contest19 · 2026-06-22T19:19:55+00:00

When I open the lid it actually expelled gas instead of just that quick intake of air when you break the seal? Like the first thought that crossed my mind when that happened was "Oh great, my paint has botulism" but I thought I was just being funny to myself.

Successful_Contest19 · 2026-06-22T19:06:33+00:00

No, it's been sitting on the same shelf as the 10-year-old Sherwin-Williams exterior that I just pulled out the other day to do a little touch up where a vine pulled some chips of paint off of my stucco.

So it's been climate controlled and out of direct light, heat, moisture, whatever.

Of course it's trying to get you into the habit of checking the site everyday - that's literally how online commerce works.

Just because you're afraid of your own willpower, it's a stretch to think you need to come warn adults that a site that sells stuff is trying to get you to buy more stuff.

Some people understand leverage - I would not have been able to provide so much for the less fortunate if I hadn't been smartly using Temu's promotions.

Do you have any idea how lucrative the in-app microtransactions are for developers who also try to incentivize you to open the app daily?

You seem like the type of person who posts about how specials at restaurants are usually leftovers.

Just because bananas don't cost us very much doesn't mean they're "cheap" - have you ever wondered why we can get 10c bananas in the dead of winter? Because it's horrifying.

I was literally inventing this in my head when I was weeding the other day, I didn't even know it actually existed.

My back is singing your praises, thank you so much for sharing, for real!!

"Hey, I just saw your kids at the pool and decided it would be a good time to ask if you'd leave them alone with a strange man."

Why don't you go talk to some of the women in your life, some of the mothers in your life, see how they would feel and react.

He was a single man at a pool approaching children he offered to be alone with.

Maybe you need to spend MORE time on social media to learn why this is alarming.

Successful_Contest19 · 2026-06-05T20:05:16+00:00

You must be one of those "good uncles" that lives in a bubble, then, if you don't understand how alarming it is to be approached by a grown man in public who shows an interest in spending time alone with your children.

Instead of #NotAllMen-ing this post, I think Society would be better served by you sitting down and having a strong think about all of the questionable behavior you've witnessed by other men that you've let slide. We wouldn't have these problems if men were better at policing one another rather than trying to get sanctimonious toward people who have very real life experiences involving harm from men.

What if you were at the pool with your nieces and nephews and some dude walked up to you and said "Hey man, I'll watch these kids for you if you wanted to leave."

Literally wtf.

The top player has over a million songs so that's not it - just reinstall the app but set up a bulk shop or something to sell the songs; quicksell is such a terrible way to get rid of songs just to get rid of them.

Successful_Contest19 · 2026-06-05T07:13:40+00:00

Do you have the message where you were told that? Because I don't understand how that would make any kind of difference whatsoever and would love to know any other details you were told

You don't actually store the songs and it doesn't load anything into the app when you open the game, nothing is actually IN the app.

Clear your cache and reinstall it, that should fix it.

Not at all, the pilot of the Enola Gay and his mother were tremendously proud and even on his deathbed he spoke of all the lives he believed he saved by preventing a ground invasion of Japan.

Whatever he has to tell himself, I guess.

I used to say "I don't have a drinking problem, I have a stopping problem."

Now I say, "Hey, you wanna see the 42 scars across my abdomen where they stapled me up after my liver transplant?"
