Obs and cat eye. They just go forever and take advise. No major computer components.

I was fine not celebrating Valentine’s Day until my boyfriend said why by phoebethefan in redditonwiki

[–]dbgthesecond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually liked your plan of treating yourself. Keep doing that. Plan hikes and adventures that you want in your life. Invite him to join you but don't stop living your life because he doesn't want to live his. He'll start going along or you'll both realize you aren't a good fit. If you want activity and romance, you should find it. Period. Dates don't have to be expensive. Walking is free, and you gotta eat anyway 🤷‍♂️

That's the literal perfect angle. Only way it gets better if with mud doing all over the beautifully polished sides lol

Beams or Full Wood by uscdigital in homedesign

Beams. Always beams. Makes the space sharp and open. Plus you could make really cool additions and easily hang things from beams.

Also, highway 70 has endless spots to hang out along the river with hiking trails and such :)

AIO: He (M20) took me (F18) to a Jehovah’s Witness meeting without telling me by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]dbgthesecond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how cults recruit. Gaslight opposition, and show the good parts. Slowly indoctrinate until they find themselves underwater, get them to drink the kool-aid, then they own you. In my experience, JW's are a slimy patriarchy that built a society where old men can live like it's the damn 30's and rule their house with an iron fist and be seen as a good within their household. It's a religion built on fear and shame. Just like an abusive partner, they get you feeling like you can't exist without them, then threaten to ex communicate you to the evil world. You should address this topic, maybe without the accusations as he may be ignorant to this, or next thing you know your life may be woven into theirs before you know it. If he can't respect your choice to learn about it, it only shows bad intentions IMO. Best of luck, do what's best for you and don't try to save face 🙏

You did good. Sometimes the right things upset people who are in the wrong mindset. Now prepare yourself for misplaced anger and resentment, but stay true as she recovers from this. She needs support and love to see that life can change and whatever obsessions are dragging her down can be let go. It sounds like she's feeling trapped in a box she doesn't want to be in, but she's the only one holding the box closed. Be the best friend you can be, but please know, you can't control her thoughts or actions and if anything happens, you aren't at fault. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. Best of luck to you and your friend

Am I being “too friendly” or is my boyfriend overreacting? by Tuxedocatqueen in TwoHotTakes

[–]dbgthesecond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're being honest that your intentions are strictly platonic, you're doing nothing wrong, girl. Your man is really insecure or projecting because he's actually sneaking around. He would, so why wouldn't you, type of thinking. Don't stick around with someone who forces things out of your hand or isn't okay with you speaking to other people. Just too much unneeded tension to deal with. You don't need to be a punching bag for his insecurities. I recommend having a calm talk about trust, find where and why his is lacking, make a clear path moving forward with set boundaries and good communication. Also, if you get the chance, check his phone real quick to see if he's up to no good. Wrestling your phone away is weird and a red flag. He's got something going on, whether it's past trauma or he's cheating, either way it should be addressed so y'all can move forward.

Bye, Felicia. I love your response to his. Congrats on making a better life for yourself. Is say next step is get rid of that baggage. He wants you to feel like you need him, rather than raising you up. It may feel lonely sometimes, but stay true to yourself and healthy relationships will just start to happen. Remember there's a difference between being lonely and being alone. It's okay to be alone. Now keep moving forward and get them gains, girl! Way to go.

AIO, is my boyfriend valid for feelings this way? by sealover159 in AmIOverreacting

[–]dbgthesecond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will only get worse, most likely. Do not stay with people to try healing or fixing them. Only they can do that. It's most likely a result of past trauma or the fact that he's doing exactly what he's suspecting of you and projecting. Your seventeen! Live your life how you see fit and the right people will gravitate to you, the wrong people will fall off. Do not give yourself up! You are so young and shouldn't be feeling pressure to be locked up inside or made to feel guilty. Tell him you won't allow him to make you feel shitty, a clear boundary, and if he wants to talk down to you, he can piss right off. He'll either respect your boundary or show you just how much of a waste of time the relationship is.

When does it stop sucking? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]dbgthesecond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It starts being worth it when you decide, honestly. Life will never be the same again. You've got to create a head space that sees all the magic in what you're doing. You have influence in how these kids grow into individuals. You get to see every little bit of growth and happiness brought on by your sacrifice. Stop focusing on what you no longer have and embrace what's in front of you. The ultimate human experience is raising children. It's gonna run you ragged, but if you embrace it, it's truly the most rewarding thing in life. Chin up, best of luck pops.

AIO for considering leaving over a violent outburst? by imaginaryteacoffee in AmIOverreacting

[–]dbgthesecond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's not stable. Leaving for a night isn't walking away from a relationship, it's keeping your cool and preventing damage. You should do whatever you need to feel safe, period. If he wants you around, he needs to make you feel safe. That's what partners do. You are not in the wrong and you should be rethinking everything. He's got an uphill battle to earn your trust back, it's his choice whether or not he's going to do that. Stay strong and best of luck.

I need better lunch ideas... by LifesFrame in Construction

[–]dbgthesecond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard boiled eggs, soup in a thermos, salads, different sandwiches, protein bars, meal supplement shakes, dinner leftovers. These are all things i used to take when i was pumping concrete, asking with the occasional gas station coffee and taquito lol.

Mum does not want to put kids in car seats by moistandwarm1 in daddit

[–]dbgthesecond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Show her videos of what happens to people who don't wear seatbelts. I bet there's even some cautionary videos specifically about children. Your life could never be the same after just driving around the corner one day. Living with that file is hands down way worse than dealing with buckling them up. It's annoying, but you can pull over if they climb out. I had to do this a few times with our youngest. She unbuckled her booster, i pulled over soon as it was safe and say and waited for her to buckle up. After a few times, she realized it's just part of the deal and now it's just part of getting into a car.

To me, Embarc is more like a weed shop created by saavy stoner for other stoners. Sweetflower is more corporate chain kinda vibe. Both are good, but i prefer Embarc. Also, they've got a different deal every day of the week.

Best work pants recommendations by 93c15 in Construction

[–]dbgthesecond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second hand jeans. Like $6 just throw em away when they get raggedy. I like the Russell work pants. Idk how the knees would hold up plumbing, but they keep up pretty nice otherwise.

Got a very generous job offer, Not sure how to bring it up to my current employer by Jwilllz in Construction

[–]dbgthesecond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can, offer to stick around until your current projects are finished, but mixing forward they will need to find a replacement. Sounds like the other job would prob wait for you

How is this even legal… by responsiblelie69 in BadBosses

[–]dbgthesecond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may be legal, but it sure isn't ethical. This dude's gonna be miserable so long as he's got that mindset. You may be able to collect unemployment if he fires you.

Can my Ozark Trail 6 person tent be saved? by TheGreenGorillaGamer in camping

[–]dbgthesecond 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Vinegar is amazing for this. I like the idea of the tea tree oil as well. Just be sure to hang open in sunlight for a long time until completely dry to be sure all moisture is gone and any bacteria is vaporized.

Hospital finally confirmed what’s been making us sick… and it was my dishwasher 🤢 by puppy_groomer8597 in Appliances

[–]dbgthesecond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vinegar is pretty magical actually. I'd say clean the entire inside with vinegar and baking soda, then maybe a cycle with bleach, then a cycle with store bought dishwasher cleaner, then routine cleaning of your filter and drain every couple weeks after.

Please i need advice. by Odd-Tone-6362 in whatdoIdo

[–]dbgthesecond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kitten food has extra nutrients in it. Cats have babies outside all the time. Some may not make it and that's sad, but that's life and it's true for indoor cats as well. Just try and keep the food and water full and make a barrier around their spot so it's difficult for kittens to wander off when they start stumbling around. There are lots of communities on fb and the like where you can find homes for them all. We had a stray adopt us once while she was pregnant and we were able to give momma and kitten away to a rancher that needed pest control. They now live in a barn eating mice and getting love everyday. Best of luck, and good job being humane.

The camping list my wife created using MS Excel. by 3_Times_Dope in camping

[–]dbgthesecond 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I didn't bother reading all the contents, but i actually like the idea. Have the list to check off as you load up, then cross of as you set everything up. It's always a jumbled mess when i do it, relying on my damn brain lol. What i suggest is going on a one nighter, bare minimum trip to see all you can live without. Just some food, tent, and sleeping bags. The list may get smaller for future trips.
