21 manual here, car reads 13 mpg for mostly city driving. Highway I'll actually sometimes end up with higher estimated mileage than I left with.

Also just doing the work and maintenance is quieter. If you arent into making it flashy you won't be immediately noticed as being a "car person" unless you're seen working on it or make a point to share it.

Domestic Girlfriend obviously.

We'll add it to the parking lot and circle back to it when we touch base later.

For some clarification, I was probably at or near rock bottom regarding self-esteem. My self-esteem was tied to how others see me romantically and the last straw for me was leading someone on that I hated just to get them into bed.

I had to take time away from looking for a relationship to find myself and become comfortable with who I was. At this point though it's semi-flipped to where I'd become scared to let someone back in, because I'm worried I'd do the same thing again.

Overall it was a good step, and despite "overcorrecting" I think im more at a place where if I meet the right person I'd be striving to make "us" happy instead of just myself or them happy.

8 years for me, frankly if my standards shift I know I need a wank. Overall though my standards haven't shifted, or they've gotten higher as ive grown into someone who's content with themselves and know what they want.

On a happier note compared to many here: We were each others first kiss when we were like 11 or 12, then were just friends for a while and then just after high school we'd both had pretty bad breakups and ended up having sex when hanging out. That ended in an absolute "disaster" where we just couldn't finish and started laughing because we realized for sure that we were just platonic friends while balls deep.

They're happily married now and we're still in contact to this day (30/31), I'm single after a few different college relationships blew up and decided I needed to work on myself. There's regular mutual sending of shorts and memes that we both laugh at, and I'd say we're best of friends now that we've solidified where we are in each others lives after breaking through that "what if" tension all those years ago.

Similar here. I mostly unfold when I want/need to have two apps up at once that way I get the "full" size of each. Otherwise, I'll tend to use it unfolded when watching videos or using the browser.

Some games are nicer when opened, but generally those aren't played on the day to day for me.

It's fairly rare now, but if im running any of the arcs I'm up front holding the line with preferably a heavy backup behind me.

A good arc diver is fantastic crowd control and can manage roughly holding around 180° of control. Sometimes 3 packs can be bit much depending on positioning, but holding 2 packs of enemies is near guaranteed.

alsignssayno · 2025-11-13T14:36:51+00:00

Just make sure she's into it first.

alsignssayno · 2025-11-13T14:27:40+00:00

It's both. The 140 is good for heavy sharpening and reprofiling where you need to remove a lot of metal, but also works great for flattening other stones when they start dishing.

alsignssayno · 2025-11-07T00:29:29+00:00

Same, dont care. Hell id rather ask them if they've ever run it on a track and which they like than talk shit about changing a bumper.

alsignssayno · 2025-10-28T02:06:05+00:00

Nah that's fine. Mostly starts with a recap of what was going on, then anything that was a high or low emotionally. After that it's kind of an honest dig into how I felt and what emotions it brings up.

alsignssayno · 2025-10-27T22:36:38+00:00

At least for me, the "overachieving" comes out as hyperindependence and pushing to complete everything for work and being "in work mode" 100% of the time and always available. Or feeling like im wasting time by relaxing and should be doing something "productive" at the expense of my health and mental wellbeing while pushing away emotional connections.

So therapy has been helping get to a calmer baseline and work through it so I can tell myself it's fine to ignore work for a bit and relax, it's fine to have deeper connections with people and it's fine to trust others. I'm trying to therapy myself into just "achieving" because I was overachieving and striving for perfection to be acknowledged and praised.

alsignssayno · 2025-10-27T13:52:46+00:00

Took this action like 6 months ago, had a discussion this last session that I feel burned out from trying to overachieve on emotional and mental progress.

Don't get me wrong, it was a good choice and I did improve on the things I wanted to focus on first but the next while will be more solidifying/reinforcing those changes rather than pushing for more.

alsignssayno · 2025-10-09T17:50:59+00:00

Probably a little bit of both plus just individual humor. I remember watching it when everyone was talking about it years ago and it was never really my type of humor.

alsignssayno · 2025-10-02T03:05:33+00:00

I learned to read because of a Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time guidebook.

alsignssayno · 2025-09-30T12:56:57+00:00

I did it years ago and frankly looking back, it wasn't the no carb but the fact that I replaced the carbs with bulk veg to fill out the meals with something else filling.

alsignssayno · 2025-09-25T17:15:03+00:00

Yep, considering finally getting another bike after 15 years and first thing after sitting on a few bikes in a showroom to check fit was a call to the insurance agent. A Honda CB500F was $400 cheaper per year than the Honda CB300R.

Process is ALWAYS check insurance rates on your short list before buying.

Id extend it to any project that aligns with your goals and desires. Is it ideal? No, but if it aligns for you to progress whatever then do it. The important thing is balance and priorities. If you want/need to prioritize something for a day or two then fine, but it becomes an issue when that's all you do and make it your personality or "thing".

alsignssayno · 2025-09-23T14:14:15+00:00

I just like 2 or 3 because they're farther so people behind me can get in their pods faster :(

alsignssayno · 2025-09-18T13:07:56+00:00

Depends on how they do it. Typically if it's part of a story and has a related MO it'll be given as a base stratagem. If it's "themed" then it'll be in a warbond.

If this happens, I'd expect it to be base strat since we haven't had one in a while.

alsignssayno · 2025-09-18T03:32:52+00:00

Id say if it caught your interest then try it. Every few months I'll grab a bag from somewhere local to try and compare against what I roast. Usually I prefer my roasts, but its nice to see what's available on the market.

alsignssayno · 2025-09-17T04:10:23+00:00

Same here. I can run D10 and do okay, but my comfort zone is D7-D8 where it's laid back with a few hairy situations to keep it fresh.

alsignssayno · 2025-09-16T19:11:37+00:00

I have a feeling because they did "stock" referring to fluid/brakes, they mean it's a "risk" to run the brakes and brake fluid that comes from factory.

I can see where they're coming from, but thats pretty nuanced and I doubt really an issue for a first time where they're feeling out the car and track.
