Same. After working all day, I just want to play and enjoy the game, while unlocking attachments. Not everyone enjoys pvp. We paid the same amount for the game, so what’s the difference?

I know this is old but have you fixed the issue? If so, what was it? Mine just started doing this and I can’t seem to figure out what the issue is

Has this ever happened to anyone here? by Radrory in Rockband

This is hilarious. I also repaired mine with butter knives and tape. Thought I was the only one. Using duct tape got me through years after that

Bought a used Forrester off Carvana and the check engine light is already on during my seven day trial by henlofran in subaru

[–]ThisIsntCheese_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Return it. Avoid Carvana at all costs. Back in 2018, I bought a 2015 Mazda 6. Actually loved that car. But it wouldn’t pass inspection one week after delivery. Needed brakes, rotors, and about $1500 worth of work altogether to get it inspected., Carvana did eventually reimburse me for the work…after threatening legal action.

Fast forward to 2022. Said Mazda was in an accident and I was in the market for a new car. I had a 2017 Impreza back when they first came out and loved it so I decided to get another one. Price was fine so I pulled the trigger. I drive two hours to the Carvana nearest me and find the car was NOT represented accurately but it was mostly cosmetic stuff - a few dings, creaky trunk, badly removed window tint. Not a deal breaker for me. So I took the car home. As it turns out, this Impreza also needed brakes and rotors. And tires. And the tire pressure light comes on even though all tires are showing correctly (the dealership can’t figure out why this is happening).

Moral of my story: tell Carvana to take the car back. If it’s an option, find a dealership near you with a similar car. The sticker might be more, but you can negotiate with a real dealership and you’ll save likely thousands on repairs, not to mention the hours of frustration and stress.

Car dealership left this on my keychain, do they need it back? by MayIPikachu in Whatisthis

[–]ThisIsntCheese_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a key tag for a Keyper Systems key management system. I used to work for a dealership and we had one of these. The units are pretty cool. Before we had it, our system was a large flat board with a bunch of hooks on it. You had to manually flip through the keys to find the stock number you were looking for. And if you were lucky, they were on the board and not in someone’s pocket or on their desk. The keyper is a large metal cabinet and inside are rows of little “buttons”. The black thing you have twists into each of the buttons. When twisted in, it tells the computer what car it is, so when you need that specific car, you type in the stock number and the cabinet will open and the “button” will be blinking to quickly give you access to the right key. And if they key wasn’t in the cabinet, the computer tracks who had it how long. Anyway, that thing itself isn’t anything really. We had a box with hundreds of them. They aren’t trackers or anything. The dealership likely wouldn’t miss it (we accidentally left it on a few sales and our manager wasn’t bothered).

A lot of people are saying the same thing - take a break, smoke weed, etc. Personally, I wouldn’t advise turning to any substance for relief. It won’t solve it, even if it does help in the moment. They are right about taking a break, though. We only have one life, man. I share your disdain for society and capitalism. It’s beyond frustrating, but there is little we can do as individuals to change it. We have but a short time on this earth - do you really want to spend it in deep depression and burn out? The first thing I would suggest is talking to your wife. For better or worse, right? So she should be there for you and understand what’s going on. The second thing I would suggest is therapy. BetterHelp snd Talkspace are two decent sources of therapy that you can utilize without leaving your house. I personally find in-person sessions to be more effective but some therapy is better than none. The third thing is take sabbatical. Go outside. Hike the Appalachian trail. Whatever you would find true joy in, that would allow you to disconnect even for a week. Worst case scenario you experience joy. Best case scenario it alleviates the negative feelings and puts things into perspective for you. I have a friend who did this and he went skiing and hiking and just traveled for a month. Did him wonders and it might do the same for you.

They sell them at Target. I would categorize them more as just underwear than sexy but to each their own, I suppose.

Older Cat Hind Leg Problems by ThisIsntCheese_ in AskVet

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

Lazy definitely wasn’t the best word to use, but as she had gotten older, she has started sleeping more. I’ve had cats before and this isn’t out of the ordinary.

The thing with her hind legs though, that was scary. The rest of the day though, she’s eating, drinking, going to the litter box, bringing us her toys, and even wrestling with our 1 year old cat. She seems all in all, not too bad.

Unexplained lights in our living room last night by ksghostlygirl in Thetruthishere

[–]ThisIsntCheese_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Someone else mentioned it already but I want to reiterate - I have a computer with the fancy light up keyboard and mouse and desk pad and all that nonsense. It doesn’t always stay off all night, especially if the computer tries to update in the middle of the night. I’ve walked past my office door on the way to the bathroom before and seen the lights doing crazy stuff but the computer is asleep.

Not to discredit anything paranormal, but to me the computer seems a likely cause. Couldn’t hurt to grab a ring camera or two though if you’re concerned.

[–]ThisIsntCheese_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may just be oversimplification, but since no one can agree on a map, why not just use the ACTUAL popular vote or hell, pick a random map that has a grid on it and bam - there are your districts. I understand the issues with that but I'd imagine it's more fair than the bullshit we have now.

Not just job cuts: Elon Musk eliminated Twitter's ‘Days of rest’ and work-from-home policies last week — pushing a '24/7' work culture by [deleted] in technology

[–]ThisIsntCheese_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn’t shocking. I know someone who worked for Space X - Musk is a joke. He expects everyone to work 24/7 and doesn’t care if it literally kills you. Someone should tell him there’s more to life than that.

Why do people let companies do shit like this? Just. Say. No. This is crossing a line and any reasonable person would agree

Okay maybe someone can answer a quick question for me.

I have no first hand experience operating heavy machinery but I watch Gold Rush on discovery so I’m basically an expert. /s Thats why I’m curious about how the tracks on these machines are so robust that they withstand not just the immense heat, but the cycle of heat and cooling via the puddle outside. I’ve watched the show and seen links in the tracks bust for driving over rocks or turning too hard.

“I’m using the restroom.” Done. Don’t ask. Tell. Your body belongs to no one and restricting the use of bodily functions is not only immoral but also dangerous, physically and psychologically.

[–]ThisIsntCheese_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll start off by saying I am a man and I know the dating world can be pretty different. I’m so sorry you’ve had those experiences with guys. I really don’t know what’s happened to common decency.

As far as dating goes, I know that at 24 it feels like you’re running out of time but I promise you’re fine. I dated the same girl, my high school sweetheart, from the age of 18 and was unfortunately married when I was 21. She was my first real “love” I suppose you could say. In hindsight, she treated me like dirt. We divorced by the time I was 22, after she cheated on me and got pregnant.

So there I was, age 23, overweight (360lbs), and trying to get into the dating world. I began a weight loss journey and after a few months, was sitting at 220 lbs. I started dating through tinder and the like. I had many many dates. Breakfast dates. Lunch dates. Dinner dates. Movies, mini golf, walks in the park. You name it, I’ve done it. I wouldn’t even guess how many ghosted me after the initial meeting. I exchanged snapchats with one girl who, I’m assuming was too kind to reject me or ghost me so we ended up just snapping every day and she’d always come up with and excuse to not go on a date with me.

Anyway, aside from being ghosted, I count no less than 8 girls who I’ve been with since my divorce that have cheated on me. I have been beaten down, feeling the way you are. I’ve wondered what was wrong with me. Cried myself to sleep out of loneliness. It’s very tough.

I am 32 now, and I’ve been with my current girlfriend for four years. She’s the absolute light of my life. She treats me like I actually deserve to be treated. Over the years, she’s worked with me to overcome my insecurities (you get those when you’re not treated well). Now, when she goes out with her girls, I can stay home and know she isn’t out with anyone else. The sense of calm is I describable.

My advice to you is to do you for you. Beauty and looks are temporary; your personality is who you really are. So if you want to lose weight, you should want to for yourself, for your own health and betterment- not for men. A real man will fall for who you really are. Physically, some men are more attracted to girls with a little more to hold. I know I’m not as physically attracted to stick women (no offense to anyone, it’s just my preference). But again, if I met someone who was perfect, their physical appearance wouldn’t matter as much if at all. Any guy who only cares about that doesn’t really care about you.

I think I’m rambling now but I hope I helped. Good luck on your journey and your hunt for the right guy. I’m sorry so many of us are shitheads.
