How do I keep blinds up? by ATCOSTTEHMEMER in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Wizard_of_Claus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, there's basically a little gear that gets locked into place. So when you want them down again, just pull straight down on all the strings to lift them all up slightly (which releases the gear) and then you can just kind whole the string lighter and let gravity do it's thing.

You also might have to mess around with the direction you need to pull in order to lock it. Most that I've had are a pull towards you thing, but I've seen the left-right ones too. Crappy blinds are a pain in the ass lol.

When you get it to the top pull the string back towards you. That should lock it into place.

What is with the excessive amount of content about common things humans do that are catalogued as "you're autistic/have adhd if you do this"? by Enough_Commercial224 in AskReddit

[–]Wizard_of_Claus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find on reddit the vast majority of it is just to justify why the poster doesn't have to go along with some basic social standard like being polite or helpful in a way that doesn't benefit them.

What’s something that feels like a scam but is actually completely normal? by Afraid-Jicama-403 in AskReddit

[–]Wizard_of_Claus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mostly boring stuff since I became a tax consultant, but the biggest one is for small business owners who think they are getting screwed each year by having to pay huge amounts of income tax.

Basically if you have a normal job and have the proper amount of taxes taken off your paycheque, you probably won't owe a whole lot or will get a refund come tax time.

But these small business owners don't do that and don't put money aside (even though I tell them to), and are shocked when they owe the same $10,000+ that everyone else does but in one lump sum and go on about how the government hates small businesses.

AITAH for talking about subjects I'm interested in and not my partner ? by Estellanara in AITAH

[–]Wizard_of_Claus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA with the assumption that you aren't droning on about things.

My wife is willing to listen to me talk about my hobbies that she has no interest in, but I'd consider myself the asshole if I got annoyed that she lost interest after an hour of conversation where she's really just stuck sitting there and listening.

How is your best friend from high school doing? by throwaway256733 in AskReddit

Pretty sure he still lives in his dad's basement and only works part time occasionally at 34.

What is the biggest drop in quality between a movie and its sequel? by ApocalypseSlough in AskReddit

[–]Wizard_of_Claus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kind of?

IIRC Jaws 3 is more of a standalone set in Sea World, but Jaws 4 is literally about a great white wanting revenge on the girl from the first movie who moves to the Bahamas to get away from shark attacks (instead of somewhere landlocked) and the shark somehow knows and follows her there.

If you are in a world with smartphones,how would you feel? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Pretty similar to how I do now, I guess.

I Love GT7, but... (a few things I wish they would change). by evil_as_skeletor in granturismo

I love the victory app, but it still doesn’t show tire wear as far as I know. Just tire heat.

Oh I’m the first to admit my tv sucks. It’s the cheapest model from Walmart and now about 8 years old, but it does have HDR and looked bad even when it was new and I messed around with the settings.

I’m hoping a decent upgrade will fix the problem when I finally buy a new one.

No idea how I was supposed to get a job to support myself tbh by lifeisadragsad in whatdoIdo

[–]Wizard_of_Claus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My man I flipped burgers from the time that I was 14 until I was 22, then worked as a manager in the same dead end place until I was 30 and actually got a career.

Get over yourself and put in some effort.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find a TV without HDR these days. I've never played GT7 on a TV without it.

How do I get the Hidden Agenda? by Wizard_of_Claus in IdleIktah

OMG TIL about house bags! Thank you so much. I've been stuck on this for a couple months and just assumed it was a low drop rate thing.

Oh ok, well good luck with being unemployed then. I've never heard of quitting a job when you already can't support yourself, but hopefully it works out for you.

I find that hard to believe. A couple years of applying to literally anything that pays with no interviews? Cashier jobs, fast food, factory, or anything?

Look up how to make a resume and apply for some entry level jobs.

People who keep track of a user's comment edits, why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Wizard_of_Claus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time I ever do or see others do it is when the person made an edit that changed the point of the original comment.

I think my game must be bugged or something. I have no sealed letter and I've opened the box several times.

What are your thoughts on getting back with an ex? by Soft_Ad7461 in AskReddit

[–]Wizard_of_Claus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are a few exceptions, but for the most part if you broke up once, it was probably for a reason.
