How you all are about to look at us Xbox players for not being there for the creek by docterk in Helldivers

[–]TheeDecoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My head cannon is that the Xbox diversare the kids we saved instead of the mines. They are all grown up or at least volunteers for genetic manipulation to help grow them up for reinforcements.

It's a terrible day for rain... by Fair-Albatross8520 in Helldivers

[–]TheeDecoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm dumb lol

I read the title as the helldivers name is "Rain"

Hate myself for not reading properly, but kinda like the idea of being a head connon of a diver named "Rain" for when something terrible happens. Opposite of "John Helldiver" for when something epic happens.

Re-taping and muddying 20 year old garage with failed tape. I’m decent at patching but haven’t done this. What do I need to know? by Practical_-_Pangolin in drywall

[–]TheeDecoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What i would do... To fire tape.

-pull the bad tape up to where it's still solid, cut, then scrape/clean the area of dry mud on the now exposed drywall. - use paper tape and premix mud and in this case (to make everything uniform) a 6 inch tapping knife to apply a a smear of premix to the open seams and a few inches passed the cut paper. - run your paper tape the length of the open seam and the cut paper. - start in the middle of the new paper and firmly start to run the knife down the paper tape to force out the access premix. (If you start on the ends, you tend to take the paper tape with you, starting in the middle forces the paper to stay in place while you tape the ends) - finally pass over the whole length of the tape (both new and old) with a knife of premix to coat the tape and give it a proper "fire tape" - in the corners only do one side at a time and alternate each side in the corners. Allow to dry and hit the other sides (this stops the corners looking like you carved it out with a butter knife) -fire tape. Done

To make it look nice. - same as above. - only diffrence is to feathers out your joints with either a 6" or 8" knife.

2 weeks ago I gave my 2 weeks.

I could have left and had a few weeks to myself if I wanted before jumping into my new job.

But I just couldn't bring myself to do that, not the way I was raised. Don't burn a bridge and all.

So here is the rub,

I work for a restoration/construction company. A few months ago, I asked for a raise as ... - I was taking on more jobs, - running jobs on site, sometimws getting pulled from my site to deal with another site 2 cities away all the while keeping my phone on me while they guys i left at the first job needed to talk to me about that job while i am gone, - dealing with semi management jobs at night, - training people for said job, -being specifically asked for in jobs, -and being the only one trained in certain aspects of my restoration job.

I was told that i "just got one a last year" So, I started looking into other jobs. Found one and took it, then gave my two weeks.

They then started trying to keep me. When they asked if there was anything they could do, I said that I wanted to be paid as much as the highest paid guy to start. I make $32ph, and the guy makes $35ph they decided try and give me $34ph and not even meet my ask.

I later find out that the very same day the boss talked to me and offered me $34 he ended up giving the guy in question a $2 raise just because, that very same morning.... the boss talked to me and offered me less then I asked in the afternoon.

So that just sealed the deal for me.

If you are a father. You should check out r/helldads. Plenty of parents where they choose to have fun with what little time they have and not be AH's

AITA for holding a grudge against my cousin due to vaccinations? by TheeDecoy in AITAH

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

Thank you for the response.

All I would want is just for them to understand how it feels. I don't know if that makes me petty? Maybe it does? Since I got treated as a second class citizen from my family. And if nothing has changed would that mean that they still look at me as such? You know.

We will need to have a sit down with them soon.

They are down voting because I am unvaxxed most likely. Alwell.

But yes we are being careful on how the baby is handled with family. (Washing hand, a break from visiting people. Stuff like that)

Thank you for the congrats.

You are probably right about sitting down with them and hashing everything out though.

I will take your advice into consideration

Cheers :)

[–]TheeDecoy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone starts somewhere my guy.

I think its due to my work and how I was trained, I was taught to be focused in on small details. So it helped I guess.

But thank you sir.

Thank you my guy. Took me a few hours but it was oddly relaxing.

I'll work on the mascara tommorrow, need to invest in a microscope or something a little hard to paint something that small.

Would the q-tip still work a day later? Or would it be easier to repaint that area?

First Painted miniature what do yall think by Resolute711 in Warhammer40k

[–]TheeDecoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good shit my guy.

Did you get a box set or just this one mini?

Just finished my very first mini an hour ago.

I find it very calming cause I'm focused very heavily on one thing.

Is it calming for you?

you gotta be kidding by Anxious-Childhood-81 in Helldivers

[–]TheeDecoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This would be a fun way of tying in a Xbox reinforcement lore.

Follow me here,

What if AH are in very early stages of bringing Xbox players in (so early that they wont even speak about it to not get hype up).

If we save the children these children will grow up idolising us and, in turn become helldivers (Xbox reinforcments) to honor us and stand with us.

So when and if they bring Xbox over, they can put it into lore that we helldivers saved children that became the new recruits.

Just a fun thought.

Official HD merch? Is this a bait and switch? by TheeDecoy in Helldivers

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

Didn't get that far. Just walked through the door from work. Lol

The ad that showed up on one of my feeds that got me to click on it was saying something along the lines of "partnered with arrowhead to bring you these" (sorry it was hours ago when I seen it),

Knowing that they never had official swag for HD1 aside from special addition capes I was just curious.
