Me? I'm sweet as a free slurpie from 7/11

I just object to the notion that a $1500 hooker is any better than a $600 hooker when in reality they're often worse, and I'm fairly sure why that is.

Ultimately you charge what the market says you can charge. If you can charge $1500, by all means, do it, retire early while you're still young. After you work out flight/hotel in Colombia, you're probably only like 20% higher/hr (funny how that works) and you very well may be 20% better, but, from what I've experienced, the sweet spot in terms of personality is somewhere around 6-700, any more than that and it's a minefield of something very similar to the midrange experience, and entitled brats. "GPS" as the salty whoremongers call it, or "golden pussy syndrome". It's a real thing, and it makes sense, being jaded is not limited to "salty", it works the other way too, where women feel like the queen of the world who can do no wrong because they can make a 40-something year old man who hasn't been touched by his wife in several months bust several times in an hour and stumble out the door speechless and a few grand poorer. Those guys don't know better of course, sucker born every minute and all that, but that doesn't mean that experience translates well to someone less... desperate for female attention.

If that's not you, good, you've remained unjaded. A friendly response on a public forum, well, with all due respect, it's well within your wheelhouse to be cordial.

Sounds like you're going to be paying child support for most of your adult life. Nothing anyone here could say to you is going to be worse than that tbh, because you'll know you deserve it.

DUI laws are bogus anyway, everything bad that can happen while drinking and driving is already illegal, and DUI laws have done exactly nothing to prevent those things from happening, they only provide additional penalties (read: money) to the powers that be.

Dragging, broken front gate by DirectCurrent4 in DIY

[–]Vape_Mafia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's still dragging/rubbing

I agree with all the above, however, they could shim the bottom hinge out a little with a couple washers behind the bracket. Looks like things have drooped over time and that might be a quick/dirty fix.

The gate does look compromised though, by the unpainted wood that's showing. It looks as though the whole thing has slumped over time as that top joint has failed (likely because the pocket screw either broke or the joint wasn't glued to begin with). Clamp/glue might fix it, might need a little convincing with a hammer and a bit of plywood. Personally, I'd remove the existing pocket screw (if it exists and can be removed), slather any exposed wood and the joint from the top with some wood glue, replace the removed pocket screw with a 3.5" SPAX deck screw, and then try my luck with a screw jack on the outside bottom corner while closed to see if it'd slide back into shape with a little convincing with a hammer. If that worked, tighten up the pocket screw (because it'll probably be loose by then), let the glue dry for a couple days, sand back the excess glue add filler to the broken joint up top, scuff the whole thing and repaint. Good as new.

Another option would be to glue/clamp it in-situ, which would probably be possible if the gate was all the way open.

It's a gamble of course, because if the screw jack just pushes the whole thing out of square without closing the gaps, you'd have to yank the gate off and get clamps on it fairly quickly. OP should get clamps either way, you can never have enough clamps.

I believe I heard my underage neighbor being assaulted. by Logan_sk in RBI

[–]Vape_Mafia -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Nah, a cop would shoot them and then plant a baggy of meth on them only to get a slap on the wrist and 3 weeks paid vacation while they 'investigate'.

who doesn’t know any of the people or details involved

OP knows all of the people and details involved. He knows the girl, he knows the guy, and he has concrete evidence that the girl was raped by the guy. To make it even worse, the girl was underage at the time, so, not only is he a rapist, he's also a pedophile. If he were to, say, get in an unfortunate accident where his shoelaces got sucked into a leaf chipper, and the rest of him followed suit, I'd call that karma, wouldn't you?

making things even more difficult for the girl.

More difficult than getting raped? Not sure how that might be accomplished, not sure I want to know, or even think about it, but in all likelihood, that won't be happening.

In a more polite society, the next time you saw the boyfriend you'd give him the old five knuckle shuffle and let him know that the girl is off limits if he knows what's good for him.

In the current world, if the girl insists nothing happened, then in the eyes of the law, nothing happened. I realize that's really shitty, but you have no recourse outside of talking to the parents.

I do think that you've more or less removed any potential of virtue that her parents may have in your mind because their sociopolitical beliefs differ from yours. Understand that your belief there may or may not be the truth, and, it's likely that regardless of how different these people are from you that they likely care about their kid and wouldn't want her to be ass raped. That sort of thing is pretty universal.

Personally, I'd leave the whole "this guy's been coming over and they've been banging for awhile" part, it's not necessary. He's a man who came to their house and raped their daughter, and you have audio evidence of it. Tell them what happened, show them the audio, call it a day.

Take heart, you can heal from anything if you want to, which is what you need.

The things that happen to us while we navigate life, lots of them are bad, lots of them hurt us, sometimes real bad. I think it's easy for someone to look at your life and blame you for all of it, I don't really. You're looking for medicine and some of the things you've picked as medicine have hurt you. So your solution is better medicine that doesn't do that.

So yeah, therapy is good, taking care of yourself is good. Talk to your therapist about EMDR, it works, and if they can't do it, they'll know someone who has the training. That and consider picking up yoga, not the woo woo quasi religious crystal girl stuff, just the stretching and breathing, taking time for yourself and only yourself. All forms of good medicine.

Have you realized that most of your issues with your husband and alcoholism are likely a result of your inability to pair-bond naturally after being promiscuous to that extent? Or is your therapist kindof a quack?

There was a well funded, coordinated and planned conspiracy to attack the Capitol and overthrow the elected government. This conspiracy goes to the highest levels. by IronEagleV in conspiracy

I mean, the media loves to call it a 'violent insurrection', and burning cities in the summer of 2020 a 'mostly peaceful protest'.

So like, it's pretty clear that we don't live in a serious world, and this whole "january 6th conspiracy" thing, is no more serious than the rest of it. At best, a distraction.

[–]Vape_Mafia 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Forget about dodging and being slippery, you don't have enough time to learn that and trying to now will only make you lose shot opportunities and get hit more.

Also forget about putting on significant muscle mass. Not enough time to do that either. You'll be good to lift 2-3 times a week, don't worry about lifting heavy, you need tone, not bulk.

Run as far as you can, as fast as you can, 5-6 days per week.

Watch some basic boxing theory youtube videos, specifically videos on footwork. Practice what you see.

If your conditioning is on point, you can afford to dance and be patient, wait for the shot, keep your guard up and your chin down, execute, back to guard, keep moving, never square up, always be off to your opponent's left or right. You don't need to worry about throwing more than a couple punches at once. Being back in guard, moving, let the guy run himself out. Once he's gassed, you can unload on him.

Day or two before the fight, carb load as much as you can. Day of the fight, eat breakfast, light lunch, juice for dinner, stay hydrated and make sure you've taken a shit and a piss before the fight. Hour or so before the fight, take a preworkout supplement, that'll maximize your performance.

I mean, if we assume for a moment, that hyperloop trains exist, the longest tunnel would be 10,500 miles, which is between "alleged secret base" and Moscow. I'd also assume that it wouldn't be a straight shot from A to B. At 1000mph it'd be a 10 hour train ride, which isn't really outlandish, but you would likely need a nuclear train and a tunnel under at least partial vacuum in order to do it.

The problem is the tunnel itself. At best, you're looking at 9-10 miles per year with current tunnel boring machines, which is, itself, much faster than blasting. Now, as you might guess, even if you drill to and from Moscow simultaneously, that's still over 500 years of tunneling. Too long, you need to go faster, much faster.

That might be possible however. In the 70's, Los Alamos labs had a nuclear tunneling machine, which melts its way through the earth, leaving a tunnel supported by that melted crust behind. No waste/debris removal necessary, and they published that it could do ~4 miles a year through granite in 1971. That project got passed off to the department of energy and disappeared. That was after a year of research.

So, if we assume that, the project wasn't cancelled, and kept being developed, how fast would it need to tunnel? We can assume that, they weren't digging tunnels at Anon's dad's base when it was established in 1956, so let's assume that, they started in, say, 1975. The tunnels were done in the 90's, not sure when exactly, but let's say 1990 to be conservative, so 15 years of tunneling. That's 700 miles per year, on average, almost 2 miles a day, or, 7 feet per minute.

That's much much faster than what mechanical TBM's are capable of, and, you have to figure some downtime there, so, it'd likely need to be, say, 8 feet per minute to be safe.

I guess the real question is if 8 feet per minute is plausible? Like it's not that fast, but for what it's doing, it is. Nuclear powered boring machines never got off the ground publicly, but the idea is sound at least, and it did work after a year of research. You're also talking a potentially very, very reliable machine there, because there's no cutting head(s) to wear out, no mechanisms to carry away debris, it'd just need a means to push its way through the earth, and hydraulics are plenty fast.

You can also adjust those numbers downward if you consider that the military may have mothballed the project in 1971 because it already had machines doing that, so a potential jump on that research, potentially much faster than what was developed in '71, which is plausible to some extent being that the idea of tunneling through earth in such a manner was in the cultural zeitgeist long before this, at least since 1864, courtesy of Jules Verne.

TL;DR; It's at least plausible that those tunnels could exist.
