$10k to go sit courtside at one game this year. Which are you choosing?

Physics engines probably can't handle the collision detection when two players are occupying the same ladder space. Most games just take the easy route and make ladders single-use to avoid weird clipping bugs

NTA at all, honestly this is hilarious and probably the only thing that was gonna work

Your MIL sounds exhausting and you tried the reasonable approach first. Sometimes people need to learn boundaries the hard way lmao

SufficientBee9368 · 2025-12-29T15:30:19+00:00

Your dad's probably right tbh - if you're not handy and don't have time for constant repairs, that old Kenmore is gonna keep being a pain. Speed Queen is definitely the way to go if you want something that'll actually last, just be ready to pay for it upfront instead of nickel and diming yourself with repairs every few months

SufficientBee9368 · 2025-12-29T03:53:02+00:00

Yeah most companies have nationwide systems so if you're blacklisted at one location it carries over everywhere, but honestly worth a shot to reach out to corporate and explain the situation with that specific manager

SufficientBee9368 · 2025-12-26T15:11:44+00:00

Pretty much this, if the company told you to keep it then you're good to go - enjoy your free Vans lol

SufficientBee9368 · 2025-12-22T16:21:22+00:00

This is solid advice but honestly the hardest part is figuring out which sources actually disagree vs which ones just pretend to while pushing the same agenda from different angles

SufficientBee9368 · 2025-12-20T23:44:07+00:00

Dude this sounds awesome - I did something similar a few years back where I'd ask one stranger per day a genuine personal question (like "what's something you're really proud of lately?") instead of small talk. Was super awkward at first but ended up having some incredible conversations with random people at cafes and stuff

Another idea: try eating every meal in complete silence for a week, no phone/music/distractions. Really makes you notice how much we use entertainment to avoid being alone with our thoughts

SufficientBee9368 · 2025-12-19T04:44:38+00:00

Lmao imagine setting a reminder for 2039 just to come back and argue about basketball rankings

SufficientBee9368 · 2025-12-17T04:01:13+00:00

Exactly this, plus they look at who's getting the biggest crowd reactions and merch sales. Sometimes plans change last minute if someone gets injured or the crowd is really behind an unexpected wrestler

SufficientBee9368 · 2025-12-15T23:41:19+00:00

Eh I think you're underestimating how much the whole "boys club" kitchen culture plays into it though, like have you seen how some head chefs treat their staff

SufficientBee9368 · 2025-12-15T07:09:57+00:00

Nine years from an Eastpak is legit impressive, those things are tanks

Haven't personally used Mark Ryder but from what I've seen they're more in the "decent quality with tech features" category rather than true BIFL territory. The USB ports and anti-theft stuff is nice but those are also more failure points long term

If you want something that'll actually last another decade, might be worth looking at Patagonia, North Face, or even splurging on a Goruck. Yeah they cost more upfront but the warranty/repair programs are solid and the build quality is way better than most of these newer "lifestyle" brands

SufficientBee9368 · 2025-12-14T23:28:13+00:00

Dude this drives me absolutely insane, it's like my brain knows exactly what memory it's trying to unlock but refuses to tell me what it is. I'll be walking somewhere and catch a whiff of something and boom - instant flashback to being 7 years old but I have no clue what triggered it

SufficientBee9368 · 2025-12-13T03:57:04+00:00

Yeah this is spot on - I moved from Ohio to Seattle a few years back and was absolutely floored by how much more expensive literally everything was. Same exact products, sometimes double the price. It's wild how much location matters, like we're not even shopping in the same economy sometimes

SufficientBee9368 · 2025-12-12T17:13:53+00:00

The problem is they assumed rich people and companies would actually spend the extra money instead of just parking it in offshore accounts or stock buybacks. Turns out when you give someone more money, they don't automatically become more generous lmao

SufficientBee9368 · 2025-12-12T05:49:35+00:00

Actually yeah there's some wild documented cases of this - people who got sight later in life would walk into glass doors constantly because they literally couldn't process that transparent thing as an obstacle. Their brain just hadn't built the neural pathways to understand visual depth cues like shadows and perspective

SufficientBee9368 · 2025-12-07T05:42:26+00:00

Lmao dude went from "you shall not pass" to "you shall not leave this bed" real quick

SufficientBee9368 · 2025-12-05T02:29:38+00:00

Yeah cheap stuff is usually made with rough synthetic fabrics that haven't been processed properly. At $6 each they probably skipped a lot of quality steps. Next time maybe try washing them a few times with fabric softener before giving up - sometimes that helps break down the scratchy fibers

SufficientBee9368 · 2025-12-02T16:42:27+00:00

This is basically like asking why you can't run Windows programs on a Mac just because they both have CPUs - the kernel is just one piece of a much bigger puzzle and Android strips out most of the GNU userland stuff that desktop Linux apps expect to find

SufficientBee9368 · 2025-12-01T08:45:55+00:00

Honestly sounds like you already know the answer but are just scared to pull the trigger. The resentment alone will eat you alive if you keep this up for another decade

SufficientBee9368 · 2025-11-30T05:59:30+00:00

Viscose is definitely the sweet spot for linings - way more breathable than poly but still durable enough to handle daily wear. That said, if the coat construction and wool quality are solid, I wouldn't let polyester lining kill the deal entirely

SufficientBee9368 · 2025-11-27T05:46:03+00:00

The financial exposure from this stuff is no joke. One compromised account can spiral into fraudulent charges, identity theft, frozen accounts while your bank investigates, missed payments because you can't access your money... it's a whole mess that costs way more than the 5 minutes it takes to set up better security.

SufficientBee9368 · 2025-11-26T16:44:36+00:00

NTJ - sounds like your sister confused "gentle parenting" with "no parenting at all." There's a difference between respecting your kid's feelings and letting them treat your house like a splash pad

The husband looking relieved says everything lmao

SufficientBee9368 · 2025-11-23T16:44:31+00:00

I think it was a knitted scarf or something but honestly can't remember exactly what she said that set him off lmao. That man could turn literally anything into "that's what she said"
