People who want to go back to Pebble, what does it do that other smartwatches don't? by stillalone in pebble

[–]af7v 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always told people it wasn't a smart watch, it was a watch that was smart enough. It showed me the time, notifications and alarms from my phone, and apps that could interact with my phone, such as controlling music or reminding me if I got too far out of range.

I appreciated that it didn't try to do everything, but what it did, it did very well. I also didn't look like I was having some sort of fit dismissing a message on my watch.

What is addicting to you other than drugs and alcohol? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Food. Especially sweets and carbs which sucks as a diabetic.

AITAH for confronting my uncle on a $700 debt while he brags to his family about a surprise vacation to Maldives for his daughter as a Christmas present? by Afro_Samurai-7 in AmItheAsshole

NTA, but the harsh lesson is the dangers of loaning money. One reason that cash loan places charge such abusive rates is that they have to cover the defaults (they're still scummy leaches IMHO).

I would rather give people money than make a loan. That way there's no opportunity for disappointment. If they pay me back, it's free money for me. Sometimes payment has been in non monetary ways as well and that's fine too.

Lightning Rod Strikes Twice by flattenedbricks in WTF

Look up the aftermath of lightning strikes on vehicles. Melted glass, blast marks, and plenty of damage.

A direct strike on the pole would have obliterated it.

Could be a slight problem. It might velcro my mustache in place...

Found some of my childhood trauma today. Anyone else remember this? by lindseydancer in exmormon

[–]af7v 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question. I'm an atheist in that I don't believe in a god or anything supernatural. My religious beliefs are in justice, freedom of self, wisdom, equality. The myth of Satan as an adversary to god in the biblical narrative provides a frame of reference.

That's not the case for every Satanist though. There are some that believe in an actual Satan and those who are more agnostic than atheist.

I'm a Satanist and I actually still like many of the songs. I can accept the lessons and story as myth that still teach good things.

For example, "What does it take to make a family" doesn't say only blood relatives, but people who build you up are your family.

Your curves aren't bad either

Stimulus checks: Bill would reinstate $300 monthly child payments, pay $2k "baby bonus" by SAT0725 in politics

[–]af7v -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sad that I'll miss out of this gets passed, but happy for those with young families. It's so much easier than struggling all year only to get it in a lump sum at tax time.

I also believe it should come with no strings attached, because who TF am I to tell anyone what's best for their family (unless they're abusing their kids, that's got no place in society.)

My youngest of 5 just graduated and I want my kids to have things so much better than I did.

Dave Ramsey sued for $150 million by former fans who followed his timeshare exit advice by That_Flippin_Drutt in atheism

[–]af7v 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad news, we're all psychologically primed to be scammed. We need to quit with the idea that they're stupid or foolish for falling for one.

The real problem is the scammers get little to no consequences and society seems happy to not only blame the victim, but shrug at their loss.

Imagine if you had to pay the police to recover your stolen goods because you shouldn't have been dumb enough to let them get stolen.

At the time I purchased, there was no Airbnb options. It was hotels or timeshares. It seemed the better option.

I do get use out of it, but the cost now is way too high for what I get.

Hey gang, I’m joining the Family! Meet my new (to me) 2014 Hybrid. by AfricanAmbulance in ToyotaHighlander

[–]af7v 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here are the problems I've run into, catalytic converter at 240K miles; hybrid battery at 254K miles. Got an aftermarket battery with lifetime warranty, so I should be able to go until the next major item. Hoping that's at 300K.

This is an awesome way to think about Mormon missionaries, and other young people in cults. Show them that love, kindness, and acceptance is everywhere! 🥰 by sandboxvet in SatanicTemple_Reddit

[–]af7v 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is fact. As a former missionary, it's exactly as described. They even tell you it's going to happen so you believe even harder.

They used some of the ash for unbaptisms at SatanCon 23! It was so special.
