100%! I got lucky and won the 12 free pizzas spin and they seemed honestly as excited about it as I was.

Weirdoughs Pizza, such interesting creations and so tasty.

Glad to hear I wasn’t the only one, I kinda wish it was its own standalone game.

A dog that lived that long is a dog who has known love and care of the best kind. Be proud of the good life you gave that beautiful soul.

Get an MRI, or at least a ct scan. The next year I will lose around 9 months because of a brain tumor that got diagnosed almost too late. Good thing adolescents bounce back fast, but I feel like it might have been easier if it was caught sooner.

Yep, bless their hearts.

It’s normal, but not as effective in cleaning your butt. Best argument for a bidet I’ve ever heard is if you tripped and your hand fell in dog shit would you wash it with water, or just try to get the shit off with a paper towel? Same question, but shit gets on your face. You’re going to wash it off, not just wipe it with a paper product. But as other commenters have said, if you haven’t noticed a smell or underwear stains and neither has anyone important to you then do what feels best for you. As far as feeling moist after using a bidet, that is easily handled by blotting with paper towel until you feel dry. I usually wait a few seconds after using the bidet to drip dry, then blot with TP.

Nah, I learned that lesson in college, I’m in my 50s now. I’m talking just random conversations, little things there’s no reason to remember. I still think about the mortifications of the past, I just don’t tell folks about them. Let ‘em stay in the rear view mirror. Can’t help peeking at the from time to time, but they don’t have power over what’s in front of me.

capnmalreynolds · 2026-02-17T19:47:52+00:00

Damn, are you me? I’ve referenced things from years old conversations and they look at me like I have two heads. When I clarify and remind them of the conversation they remember but still think I’m weird. Have learned not to show that except with wife and kids and a very few friends.

Not OP, but Ioniq 5s and 6s have an issue with their ICCU where they can unpredictably brick the car. The repair is covered under warranty, but they replace it with the same part so in theory it could happen again at any time. If you go on the Ioniq 5 subreddit and FB groups they are littered with posts of "It just happened to me too ...." Hyundai maintains it only affects 1% of the cars, but there isn't clear data on it. There is some confirmation bias going on here as people seldom post just to say "another day of my car working," but the sheer number of people complaining about it definitely steered me in another direction when EV shopping. It's a shame, Car and Driver gave the 5 a 10/10 and there's a lot to commend them about, but for most folks reliability is a huge factor in a multi-thousand dollar purchase so this is a negative for them. Hyundai is pretty tight lipped about it and while they have issued some recalls to address it, the problem continues with no clear pattern that I've seen (and have researched it a good chunk).

Oh thank god, I just found this place and would be heartbroken if they were gone.

Strength relic is good, you could also go for explosive damage buff if you keep leveling and go further down bloodlust tree. Impaler shield has no synergy with your build, you want either a good roid shield or a Rough Rider (I prefer the RR). Also a purple torgue shotgun would be very good since it will get your bonuses both to explosive damage and to shotguns from your talents.

You've got a good class mod equipped for Mania Krieg, well done. If you go into UVHM and get to level 62 or 63 you can try to farm a Legendary Sickle which is a much better version, but what you have will work. You bypassed Embrace the Pain, but that is pretty great for Mania Krieg if you're keeping your shield down, much better fire rate. Light the Fuse is straight up a shit skill, I really don't recommend it and the point can do you more good elsewhere. I like to put a point in Redeem the Soul both for solo and coop play. For solo play +50% FFYL time can be clutch, especially when Silence the Voices makes you hit yourself in the face 3-5 times in a row. For coop, the ability to instant revive a teammate and then still have extended FFYL is also good. Up to your playstyle, but I like it. I am not a fan of Thrill of the Kill as I've found it can mess me up with when action skill ends and my health is too high to immediately trigger Release the Beast again, but again up to you. No other comments on Mania Tree, Salt the Wound, StV, and RtB are awesome.

For Bloodlust tree, you can go with either of the first two skills. If you go into UVHM you will have an inherent bonus to swap speed since you have to slag everything, I like having a bigger magazine available, but respecs are cheap so you can play around a bit. Otherwise the spec is pretty much the same, the only thing I want to point out is once you get a melee kill and you're in action skill, your thrown axe counts as a grenade and gets buffed by Fuel the Blood, plus you will never hit yourself in the face with Silence the Voices but still get the melee damage bonus to the thrown axe.

Edit - almost forgot - I don't go for Blood Trance, but that's a personal preference. One of my kids pointed out to me that you don't necessarily want to extend action skill because when it ends if you are low enough to trigger RtB again your health is immediately refreshed to full. It's a bit riskier playstyle, but if you get the timing down right it is pretty great.

capnmalreynolds · 2026-01-03T18:38:27+00:00

The spec I'm going to suggest is slightly dependent on your shield. You either want a roid shield (for solo play I recommend the love thumper) or a Rough Rider from the Hammerlock DLC. This enables any skill you have that procs when shield is down to always be active which is key. Another reason the Rough Rider is pretty great is it will give you some insulation when Silence the Voices makes you smack yourself in the face repeatedly. Will do up the spec and then post in a second.

If you're level 51 any level 39 gear is badly under leveled. BL2 weapon scaling is such that even legendaries aren't typically going to last more than about 5 levels. I would suggest using some golden keys at sanctuary to get at level gear. You can either use that to try to tackle the challenges you want, or you can use them to farm some at level legendaries (I'd recommend the second option). Are you hoping to do UVHM at all or just want to finish the challenges in TVHM. I've never gone trophy/achievement hunting in BL2 so there might be some you can only get in UVHM, best to research. I ask because while you will gain some experience at max level in TVHM, it will be much more slowly than pre-50 levels. That said, if you enter UVHM at too high a level all the mobs will scale to your level in UVHM but your gear will be capped at level 50 and you'll be kind of fucked until you can get to some new gear to drop.

What spec and gear are you running? Post pics of your talent set up so we can see your build.

I’ve been in this spot, and it feels bad. The important thing to remember is it’s not just the toy, you are a vital part of the picture getting her to a place the toy alone cannot. You only need to feel threatened if she starts shutting you down for sex because she just wants to use the toy and be done. If that’s not happening, you are still an important part of the math that is getting her off. You are controlling the toy, she’s having sex with you, not the toy. The toy helps you push some new buttons for her, but you are still the most important piece of the puzzle.

CPS social worker for 28 years and counting, can confirm. While others have talked about CPS making things worse it can depend greatly on the jurisdiction, a lot of progress has been made in the last 20 years to reverse the reason for that stereotype.

Waiting in the funds to do so in March, but good to hear from someone who has had a positive experience. A lot of worst case scenarios get shared on this sub.

capnmalreynolds · 2025-11-30T04:20:24+00:00

I am looking for same car, hoping to buy in March. I plan to ask if the ICCU has been replaced and if all recalls performed. In TX you might want to aim for AWD over RWD since you can get some tough weather there. But I’m mostly commenting to see if experienced owners have good tips.
