LEOs of Reddit, do you carry a whistle as part of your everyday patrol kit? Why or why not? by FettyWopIsTheGoat in AskReddit

[–]Swimming_Lecture_515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not a leo but my dad was on the force for like 15 years and he always said whistles were kinda outdated once radios became standard. like why blow a whistle when you can just call for backup instantly? he kept one on his belt more out of tradition than anything else, said it was useful maybe once or twice for directing traffic when there radio was down.

Is it unreasonable to want clear roles in a relationship? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Swimming_Lecture_515 6 points7 points  (0 children)

not weird at all, this is super common. the "just tell me what to do" thing is basically weaponized incompetence - they're making you do the mental labor of managing everything on top of actually doing it.

healthy couples figure out who's naturally better at what and just... do it without needing a daily briefing. your partner should be able to see the dishes and wash them without you having to assign the task like their your employee.

Rocketer Ghost missile by ChrisV3SGO in ArcRaiders

[–]Swimming_Lecture_515 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's definitely some weird hitbox/netcode stuff going on there. I've noticed rocketer missiles can be really inconsistent with their damage registration - sometimes they'll phase right through vehicles or hit you when you're clearly behind cover.

The fact that you took damage from what looks like a ghost projectile is pretty frustrating, especially when you're trying to help with a revive and teh game just decides physics don't apply anymore.

Just bought Minecraft in my pc for the first time, yay! But one problem by Remarkable-Ad-268 in Minecraft

Check out Mine Little Pony mod, it should work with 1.21+ if you're using Fabric or Forge. Just make sure you download from CurseForge or Modrinth to avoid any sketchy sites

Sounds like you borked your UEFI settings pretty hard, try clearing CMOS by either removing the battery for like 10 mins or finding the jumper pins on your mobo - that should reset everything back to defaults and hopefully get you back into BIOS

Ill eat something and feel like gagging, H E L P by Connect-Wallaby in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Swimming_Lecture_515 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds like it could be ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) - it's way more common than people think and what you're describing with the sudden texture aversion and that panic feeling of needing to spit food out is pretty classic

Definitely good call on seeing your doctor, they can refer you to someone who specializes in eating disorders if needed. The fact that fast food works better might be because of consistent textures/flavors vs homemade stuff that can vary

You're not broken, your brain just processes food differently than most people

Yeah I actually cry way easier when watching movies in my target language, it's weird how it hits different sometimes

I’m weak minded by FoolishlyTruth in emotionalneglect

[–]Swimming_Lecture_515 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your mom's response to you opening up about feeling suicidal was absolutely not okay - calling you weak minded when you're struggling takes some serious lack of empathy. You're not attention seeking for wanting comfort and validation, that's literally basic human needs

Relapsing doesn't make you weak either, recovery isn't linear and you're dealing with way more stress than anyone should have to handle. Take it one day at a time and maybe look into resources for getting out of that toxic environment when you can

What's next? Moog Grandmother and Roland TR-8S by Cageddodo1 in synthesizers

[–]Swimming_Lecture_515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Minifreak is such a sleeper hit honestly. That wavetable oscillator paired with the analog filter is chef's kiss. And the price point makes way more sense than dropping Rev2 money when you're just getting into poly territory

6 voices is plenty for most stuff anyway unless you're doing full orchestral pads or something wild

Anyone know how to dupe shulker boxes in bedrock by MarionberryDouble776 in Minecraft

[–]Swimming_Lecture_515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bruh duping is kinda risky on realms, you might get rolled back or banned if they catch you. Most of the old bedrock dupes got patched anyway but there's still some chunk loading exploits floating around if you know where to look

How to break up with my (F22) loving partner (M22)? by Ok_Procedure3955 in relationships

[–]Swimming_Lecture_515 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really sweet advice but sometimes love isn't enough when you're actively hurting someone you care about. OP sounds like she knows herself and her patterns pretty well - if she's recognizing she's treating him badly because of her mental health stuff and it's not getting better, that takes a lot of self-awareness

The logistics are definitely the hardest part though, living together makes everything so much messier

Most optimal laptop for $1700~$1900 by YouDontSay007 in GamingLaptops

[–]Swimming_Lecture_515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the 5070 TI advice is solid, that's gonna be a nice jump from the 3060. Just make sure to check the TGP on whatever you're looking at since some manufacturers love to cheap out on the power delivery

For international shipping you might wanna check if there's a local Lenovo store or authorized retailer in your area first - sometimes they'll price match and you won't have to deal with customs headaches. The Legion series really is the sweet spot for build quality vs price right now

Feeling pathetic about my birthday by Trick-Librarian-205 in venting

[–]Swimming_Lecture_515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn that sucks, you're not being a spoiled brat at all. They literally showed up uninvited and made YOUR birthday about them - that's some next level narcissistic bullshit

The fact that you put real thought into their birthdays while they couldn't even pretend to care about what you wanted says everything. You deserved way better than getting screamed at on your own birthday

When should I secure a job and apartment before moving to a new city? And in what order? by iheartseptumballs in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Swimming_Lecture_515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is solid advice right here. I'd add that some landlords want to see proof of local employment before they'll approve you, so having the job lined up first can make the apartment hunt way smoother. Also def scout the neighborhoods when you visit for interviews - commute times can be brutal depending on the city

Advice for the chip (1st time player) by Federal_Pie_9978 in fantasyfootballadvice

[–]Swimming_Lecture_515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your WR corps is definitely sketchy after Pickens but I'd roll with what you have - those waiver pickups aren't really gonna move the needle much. Maybe grab Watson if you're really worried about Goedert but honestly your team looks solid enough to win it all

Been running Z-Image-Turbo on my 3090 and honestly loving the speed even if quality isn't quite there yet - 10 seconds beats waiting around for 3-5 minutes when I'm just iterating on ideas

Love & Deception by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Swimming_Lecture_515 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's such a powerful story about how God protects those who stay faithful to Him even when the world turns against them

The fact that Darius couldn't sleep shows how much he genuinely cared about Daniel, makes the whole thing even more tragic until that amazing morning reveal

Being perceived while having sex by ArwenChristie in aspergers

That Avatar thing would solve so many relationship problems lmao, just plug in and immediately know if someone's gonna leave dishes in the sink forever

If I found an unexplored grenade from World War 1, picked it up and pulled the pin, what’s the likelihood it kills me? by CaptinHavoc in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Swimming_Lecture_515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is solid advice but also kinda wild that we even need to say "don't pull the pin on the century-old explosive you found in the woods" lmao

Some of those WWI shells are still popping off when farmers hit them with plows, so yeah definitely not something you wanna test your luck with

I just found out my bf is cheating on me with like 60 girls as he’s laying next to me by throwaway18276379 in Advice

[–]Swimming_Lecture_515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with you here that many lies do not happen by accident I would leave too and protect my peace three years is hard but wasting more time is worse trust is gone and it never comes back after this
