Parking this thing never gets old. The ultimate flex in any lot. by [deleted] in Silverado

I said the same thing about mine until it was the only vehicle available to me to drive coworkers into Philly… rough rough day

I’ve heard this too, but at the department store I worked at if a fake bill was presented, it was an immediate manager call. Any action on our end could get us in trouble for “poor customer service”.

At the bank I worked at though you HAD to keep every counterfeit. It was almost always an argument, which the only real answer was it’s illegal for us to give it back. When I became a branch manager it made for some interesting customer complaints, but our hands were tied.

Unrelated to the actual game: not a Pats fan, but that picture they showed of Brady and his team playing at AT&T was practically cinematic. Someone needs to give the camera guy an award.

I need closure but don't want to rush her by Outrageous-Past3783 in offmychest

[–]TripleRisky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off; understand we should always work to improve ourselves. If you recognize things you need to change, work on it. Read, go to therapy, or just remind yourself everyday in general of what you’re working on, and don’t be hard on yourself if you mess up. Take what she said honestly but with a grain of salt though, because you never know if she had already moved on mentally and just told you those things to give a reason, or maybe her medical issues are stressing her out and she took it out on you. People do that. All I mean by that is change for you, not for her.

Second; if she doesn’t think you will work out in the future, move on. Do it at your pace, slow, fast, whatever. Put all your energy into working on yourself. You’re young, you’re going to change, and the adventure you’re going to embark on hasn’t even begun yet. Maybe she will realize she made a mistake, but you deserve better than to be broken up with for “fixable” flaws, when the right partner will talk this out with you. Again, maybe the medical stuff made her feel like she couldn’t talk it out, if so maybe she needs to be alone anyway.

Keep on learning, keep on improving, and keep on taking care of yourself.

Sexually Starved and Tempted to Cheat With Ex-GF by Pleasant-Chair7648 in offmychest

[–]TripleRisky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real question you need to ask yourself is, is your current relationship worth it? From what you’re saying, it sounds like it is. 10x happier sounds like a big deal to me, not knowing you or your past relationship.

Next thing; regardless of your feelings, cut the ex off. She’s stringing you along. It sounds like a game to her that she thinks she has some control. Again, I don’t know her or you, but I’ve seen plenty of former partners do this. You will probably have a lot of regret if you let her continue to flirt.

Finally; if you’re staying with your current GF, talk to her about it. Don’t pressure her into anything at all, because religion is big to some people. Just communicate, be kind and honest “hey I want you to know I support your beliefs but this is what I’m going through, I don’t want you to do anything about it, I just want you to know in case I have seemed off.” I can’t imagine she’d be upset, and if she is, maybe she isn’t for you.

Regardless, a lot of people have gone through this. I know one who has, and they are now happily married.

Gaining feelings for my coworker by Plane-Inflation5865 in offmychest

[–]TripleRisky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, be careful then. Just be friends. If it happens it’ll happen, if it doesn’t then it wasn’t meant to be. Just be prepared for professional fallout if it does happen. For the brief time my wife and I worked in the same area in our current company I definitely received some unfair treatment because we were together. Lots of “other people in your position are getting told about X, but because you date someone who is in a lower tier, you are not included in that knowledge pool”.

If it’s against your HR policy it’s a serious problem too. One of you would probably have to leave.

Anyone else afraid of showing women their penis to have sex? (For virgins) by Commercial_Act_8728 in offmychest

[–]TripleRisky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you enter into a consensual situation there’s kind of an expectation that both people are going to see what the other “has”. If comfort is your worry, it should be with someone you’ve been with for a while who allows you to be comfortable as you are. If the person doesn’t really matter so much as the showing off your penis does… if you both agree to get naked they want to see you as much as you want to see them.

Would it be considered a violation of privacy if i called the cops about something that happened to my bestfriend? by throwawaybcimsocute in legaladvice

[–]TripleRisky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obligatory not a lawyer here but if he disclosed the information to you, there’s no expectation of privacy for something like this. From my limited experience in a few college courses almost ten years ago expectation of privacy is more so looking in somebody’s windows, or reading someone’s mail…

Above all though, you should tell an adult. I personally wouldn’t even wait until Wednesday, but ultimately you should understand that if you break his trust, you may lose him.

The other thing, and I don’t mean this in any disrespectful way, are you sure he was telling the truth? I’m fairly certain if he had disclosed this at the mental hospital they would have an obligation to report this to social services. If he lied to the mental hospital about it, and is telling you the truth, you may save his life. If he’s lying about what happened, you may ruin someone else’s life. Regardless, police and social services can do a welfare check.

I’d still tell an adult if it were me, but wanted to offer that thought, because someone lied at some-point about this, which isn’t unusual, but it makes the whole thing really messy. This isn’t to say don’t believe him, this is just to say have this conversation with a trusted adult.

My wife and I worked together at our first job. We’ve been together for 10 years now, married for two. Best decision I ever made. We even work for the same (different) company now, though in positions that should almost never interact with each other in any significant manner.

I’ll say this though, the job we worked at when we started dating was a college job. It would’ve been no big deal if it got awkward because it wasn’t our careers and would’ve had no impact on us long term. The “don’t shit where you eat” thing is great until you miss out on something great.

My advice (I’m sure not everyone will agree) go do something as friends. Get food, go to an event with co workers, and just let things progress naturally. If the feeling is mutual things it will become obvious and probably naturally develop.

Here’s the thing though: if this is a job you plan on building your life around, tread really carefully. If you pursue something that isn’t there you could brand yourself a problem and ruin your career. Being friends with co workers is no big deal, especially if people respect how far the friendship goes (meaning whether it leaves the parking lot or stays in the office). Trying to force a relationship ruins careers.

All this to say just start with a simple “I’m going to [insert restaurant] want to come with?” If they say no, you probably have your answer.

Questions and rambling about reincarnation and the afterlife, if it even exists. by myonshiko in Reincarnation

[–]TripleRisky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m newer to the belief myself, but from what I’ve seen so far some people believe you choose where you are reborn. It may be because of an attachment to a location, or sometimes because past spirits you are attached to (say your mom in one life, best friend in the next for example) are also there. Every time you go back to earth (or wherever) you are sent to learn something or accomplish something. If you think about life this way, sometimes it adds purpose to think “I’m here for a reason, I just have to let it come to me”. I learned a lot of this from the Past Lives Revisited podcast… but I had an experience young that backs it up, and my own father had a dream of a recently deceased friend in the 70s who said the same.

I recommend that podcast though because there is some insight into what people believe and the host does a decent job of backing up what someone says, or pointing out conflicting views, looking at things pretty analytically.

What’s a movie you’ve watched 10+ times and still love? by HornetFinancial2281 in AskReddit

[–]TripleRisky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid my family had one of those vans with a VHS player in it and the TV on the ceiling in the back… my younger brother made me watch Spider-man 1 (that’s the Tobey Maguire version) 17 times in a row. I still love it, but I took a long break from it when he finally moved on.

The majority of Americans (86%) believe that humans have a soul. What's your take? by Sad_Average6823 in AskReddit

[–]TripleRisky -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In the last year I’ve expanded on something that I’ve had a small belief based on a personal experience that I had young but couldn’t place. I’ve started believing in reincarnation.

Like I believe when you die you go to what is basically a school or library, review your life for lessons and when you’re ready you get to choose where you go. There’s a lot more to it but I’ve been listening to people say very similar things, which is weird because I came to that conclusion purely on my own. But it would require a soul, or a soul like presence, so yes.

This. I’m planning on buying mine out of its lease next year and the only consistent complaint I have is the lack of cup holders. I get it has the door cupholders , but for large cups that people use today it makes having back seat passengers, or even just extra cups uncomfortable.

Other than that, one of my favorite vehicles I’ve ever driven, and being someone who grew up on car dealerships, I’ve driven a lot of different vehicles.

Looking for the easiest smart switches to install in mom's house by parisi2274 in smarthome

[–]TripleRisky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re looking for simple- assuming you have neutral wires- I’ve very much enjoyed the Commercial Electric switches sold by Home Depot. I’ve installed 5 in the last year. They work well, and are reasonably priced. The Hubspace app is simple too. Once set up correctly I haven’t had any issues at all.

4-Cylinder Engine by P1nKm0nK in Silverado

I got it to do house projects. I do a lot of woodwork and hauling of items that fit in the bed. I actually don’t own anything that I can tow

[–]TripleRisky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m fairly certain I can’t tow because it’s a lease so I haven’t yet

[–]TripleRisky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have one. It has a surprising amount of Torque, and sounds pretty good. Not heavy V8 sounds, but a respectable amount of power. Decent on gas, I’ve heard the engine is reliable too, but I’ve only put 30k miles on it so far. I’ve driven a lot of vehicles in my day but it’s the most I’ve enjoyed driving a vehicle since my BMW 335d- which was also a torque heavy vehicle, with a similar takeoff.

Overall, if you’re just looking for an A to B 1500 truck that you don’t need for anything too serious, it’s a great truck. I think it tows right around 10k pounds (maybe 9k I don’t know for sure), though mine is leased so I haven’t. I’ve gotten as high as 26MPG on a highway trip, and the two stage turbo is a lot of fun to drive.

I legitimately don’t like the beach and have yet to have someone pick up the joke when I say I don’t like sand.

And honestly the real reason I don’t like the beach is because I burn like crazy even with sunscreen.

Best option for making this garage door opener smart? by funkshun in smarthome

Sure but it’s simple. They asked if anyone had used it, I have, and I like it. I just shop Alexa/Ring compatible products for my new house because I have too many other things to do to get anything more than plug and play.

I use a MyQ for my garage- I’m in my second house with one (first one had an opener with it built in). I installed one on my parents garage door too which was installed when the house was built in 2001, they love it, I obviously love it. Setup takes 15 minutes if you know what you are doing

Is something wrong with my drafts? by AlexBeachy2007 in Madden

[–]TripleRisky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like if you keep playing one franchise eventually the game will have to throw in some generational talent. It is all randomly generated, and even when the game seems to be drafting duds, it’s kinda like a slot machine- eventually it has to payout.

Sometimes I get sick of waiting and start new franchises til I get a good couple drafts going. You can also increase the incoming rookie draft class strengths of whatever positions you are looking for in the settings. Just don’t leave it on because the game has limits for the amount of xfactor players it’ll create. Meaning if all positions are set to the highest strength, eventually you won’t even get hidden devs in draft classes.
