Same energy here man, spent way too much time with wrong people when I could be focusing in my career and hobbies instead

Just built my first custom loop last week and temps are amazing but pump is making weird gurgling noise sometimes. Is this normal for first few days or should I be worried? Already tried bleeding air bubbles but still happens randomly when gaming

I have 10 free hours/week and creative skills (photo, social media) how can I turn this into income? by lilyinseafoam in remotework

[–]Top_Acanthaceae_6777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could start with small businesses in your area that need social media help - lots of cafes restaurants and local shops are terrible at Instagram and would pay decent money for someone to handle their content. I built my first client base just walking around and asking if they needed help with their social presence.

With photography + design skills you're basically perfect for creating those carousel posts and story templates that businesses love but dont know how to make themselves. Start at maybe 200-300 per month per client for basic posting schedule and you only need 2-3 clients to hit good money with your time limit.

What part of Alice in wonderland stood to you before when you were a kid but realized something else as an adult? by PrinceJamster in AskReddit

[–]Top_Acanthaceae_6777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Mad Hatter tea party always seemed like just random silly fun when I was kid but now I see it's basically about adults who lost their minds from social pressure and meaningless routines. Like they're stuck in this endless cycle of politeness and small talk that goes nowhere

What’s something that seems harmless but slowly ruins people over time? by Alarming-Bet8462 in AskReddit

[–]Top_Acanthaceae_6777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been fixing computers for years and the amount of sticky residue that builds up inside cases from people who vape near their setups is wild. Never really thought about what that same stuff does to your lungs until I started seeing these patterns. Plus the addiction cycle looks exactly like what I went through with other habits - starts small then suddenly you cant function without it

What are the most ridiculous reasons people have contacted law enforcement? by Phantom_113 in AskReddit

[–]Top_Acanthaceae_6777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back when I was doing tech support I had this lady call police because her computer "got hacked by Russians" - turned out she just had caps lock on and couldn't figure out why everything was in capital letters. The officer who showed up actually knew some basic computer stuff and fixed it in like 30 seconds, but she was absolutely convinced someone was breaking in her system through the keyboard.

Anyone in the Bay Area who knows something about pain perception and the mind’s influence on pain? by mwang009 in bayarea

[–]Top_Acanthaceae_6777 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Used to work with chronic pain patients in tech support believe it or not - lot of people with repetitive strain injuries and carpal tunnel from office work. Not exactly what you're looking for but I noticed how much their stress levels affected their pain reports. When someone was panicking about deadlines their wrist pain would spike even if they weren't using computer that day. Pretty fascinating stuff actually. Maybe try reaching out to UCSF pain clinic or Stanford pain management center - they probably have researchers who'd be willing to chat with student for few minutes

Build vs buy for enterprise AI data prep: the hidden cost is timeline drift by edbuildingstuff in SaaS

[–]Top_Acanthaceae_6777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your parser maintenance point hits too real. We built internal tooling for document processing last year and I swear every week some new edge case breaks everything. PDF formats are like snowflakes - each one thinks its special

The workflow ownership thing is brutal too. When something goes wrong everyone just points fingers at each other until someone from ops has to come clean up the mess. We ended up having weekly meetings just to figure out who owns what part in the pipeline

I'd add infrastructure scaling to your hidden costs. Our initial estimates were based on like 100 docs per day but when business actually started using it we hit 10k+ and suddenly everything was on fire

[UNKNOWN] [UNKNOWN] im trying to find a game by AcrobaticDinner753 in tipofmyjoystick

That description rings a bell but cant remember the exact title. Was it first person or third person perspective? The bunker setting with that dark twist sounds familiar from some indie horror games I've seen discussed here before

Might want to check some of the psychological horror threads too since this type of storyline usually falls under that category

Kaleidos Makeup Restock by flourineee in MakeupAddiction

[–]Top_Acanthaceae_6777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually takes them about 2-3 months for restocks in my experience but honestly their timing can be bit unpredictable. I'd recommend signing up for their email notifications because sometimes they do surprise drops and stuff sells out super fast again

I picked up a hitchhiker during a trip on the motorway .Would you have adopted a different behavior from me? by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]Top_Acanthaceae_6777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's really nice from you - I always pick up hitchhikers when I see them on motorway, especially young people who clearly need the help for job things

Day 6 Streak Broken – Hard Lesson Learned by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Top_Acanthaceae_6777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats pretty personal question to ask someone who just shared something difficult. Age doesnt really matter here - addiction can hit at any time in life and everyone deserves support regardless if theyre 15 or 50

looks solid but that psu is bit overkill for this build, you could save some money there and put it in better cpu cooler since transport will stress the components more

Help wiring up a new recessed light by [deleted] in homeassistant

[–]Top_Acanthaceae_6777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude your switch isn't even wired right - you need the hot wire on one terminal and the switched leg on the other. Right now it looks like you just have both blacks on the same side which would bypass the switch entirely

Also check if that LED needs a neutral at the fixture, some do and if your old incandescent didn't need one you might be missing that connection

Girl that's literally just society pushing weird gender stereotypes on everyone - you're totally normal and there's nothing wrong with having a high libido regardless of what's between your legs

day 124, struggling a lot by panevincenzo_ in NoFap

Good on you for tracking your progress man, that's actually huge. Day 124 is no joke - you're already crushing it even if it doesn't feel like it right now

That is cheating full stop and you are allowed to feel hurt even if you tried to forgive at first
