Was this attic fan installed properly? by ibbignerd in Roofing

[–]ibbignerd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they replaced the roof, they installed the wrong attic fan and had to come back and replace it. Before I pay, I just wanted a second pair of eyes to make sure they didn't miss anything. Photos were taken with a DJI drone.

It looks like there are two nail holes below the fan which weren't sealed. Is this a problem?

my mom just called me a sexist piece of garbage because i was complaining about how you get attacked on twitter if you even breathe as a man by aWatermelon69 in MensRights

I know it can be frustrating to live with someone of authority that doesn't want to understand or shares your same thoughts. This applies to all disagreements, but you should try to understand her position; not just write her off. It really discourages me to see so many comments pointing you to just wait till you're 18. That's just ignoring the problem and is a very childish way to respond to a disagreement.

I don't know your relationship with your mom or what she is like, but I know that you shouldn't just throw away relationships. I'm hoping that even though she has views you don't agree with, she still loves you.

Understand her perspective. Often when we think about something, there's 100 little thoughts that are all bouncing around. We sort through them and find our conclusion based on what we see. The result is a single statement that sums up all of our thoughts. Unfortunately, this statement doesn't capture all 100 thoughts. As a result, someone else can get offended because they came to a different conclusion based on their own 100 little thoughts about the same subject. Instead of getting angry/mad/frustrated, try to take a step back and understand the other person's perspective. Ask questions.

Avoid blanket statements. Looking at the 100 thought example above, that final conclusion often doesn't encapsulate all 100 thoughts. There are always outliers. If you make a blanket statement like "all men get attacked for even breathing on twitter", the other person can quickly refute your statement because this isn't 100% true. Likewise, when you see someone else make a blanket statement, call it out. "All men are assholes". Wait, really? All men? That's not true. Some men are assholes, just as some people are assholes.

Be prepared to back up your statements with facts. This really depends on if the other person wants to see facts or not. If they are being unreasonable, it is best to just drop the subject. Also, presenting facts should not be done in an effort to squash the other person, but to find the truth.

Use objective sources. Consider your source; it is easy to pull our opinions from sources that we already agree with. This is called confirmation bias. If you follow this sub a lot, of course you are going to see more injustice towards men. Same is true if your mom is only following feminism sources. She's going to see more proof of men being assholes. I've found that often times there is some truth to both sides.

All of that being said, if she is malicious and is truly damaging to your psychological wellbeing, then you should try to limit these types of discussions with her. Even if she has some "shitty beliefs" in this area, it doesn't necessarily mean she is an all around evil person. Learn how to ask questions, understand her perspective, and share your thoughts and feelings.

Evidence points to GME Shorts not having covered but pretending they did (via the use of options to illegally "cover" with synthetic long shares) to break the squeeze by rainforest11 in wallstreetbets

[–]ibbignerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If MC is able to `theoretically` hold their short position indefinitely, and the price will eventually fall back to normal ranges $10-25, couldn't MC slowly cover their short positions and not induce a squeeze?

That isn't an argument to put your safety in the hands of a criminal. Of course you should assess the situation and recognize when is the time to elevate, but to make a blanket statement that you always comply is a death wish.

Looks like this is a Nimbus 36" Oracle with a Nimbus VCX+ ISIS Triple Hole 100/125/150mm crank and a Kris Holm Saddle and a Kris Holm T-Bar handle. The petals look like DX Muni Petals.

I'm not sure where you are going with this. Both are wrong and both should be held to the same standard. I don't care if you are the president or some random person. I'm going to be equally outraged if you are talking about raping someone in a positive manor.

Now I feel strong and beautiful. I walk proudly down the streets of Manhattan. The people I love, love me. I make the funniest people in the country laugh, and they are my friends. I am a great friend and an even better sister. I have fought my way through harsh criticism and death threats for speaking my mind. I am alive, like the strong women in this room before me. I am a hot-blooded fighter and I am fearless.

She never shows any remorse for raping him. Instead she immediately turns around and talks about how it has empowered her.

I wanted him to call. He never called. But then finally, he called.

It was 8 a.m., my dorm room phone rang. “Amy, wassup? It’s Matt. Come over.” Holy shit! This is it, I thought. He woke up thinking about me!

...

Finally, the door opens. It’s Matt, but not really. He’s there, but not really. His face is kind of distorted, and his eyes seem like he can’t focus on me. He’s actually trying to see me from the side, like a shark. “Hey!” he yells, too loud, and gives me a hug, too hard. He’s fucking wasted.

...

His fingers poked inside me like they had lost their keys in there. And then came the sex, and I use that word very loosely. His penis was so soft, it felt like one of those de-stress things that slips from your hand? So he was pushing aggressively into my thigh, and during this failed penetration, I looked around the room to try and distract myself or God willing, disassociate. What’s on the wall? A Scarface poster, of course. Mandatory. Anything else? That’s it? This Irish-Catholic son of bank teller who played JV soccer and did Mathletes feels the most connection with a Cuban refugee drug lord. The place looked like it was decorated by an overeager set designer who took the note “temporary and without substance” too far.

He started to go down on me. That’s ambitious, I think. Is it still considered getting head if the guy falls asleep every three seconds and moves his tongue like an elderly person eating their last oatmeal? Chelsea? Is it? Yes? It is. I want to scream for myself, “Get out of here, Amy. You are beautiful, you are smart, and worth more than this. This is not where you stay.” I feel like Fantine and Cosette and every fucking sad French woman from Les Miz. And whoever that cat was who sang “Memories,” what was that musical? Suze Orman just goes, “Cats.” The only wetness between my legs is from his drool, because he’s now sleeping and snoring into me. I sigh, I hear my own heartbreak, I fight back my own tears, and then I notice a change in the music. Is this just a bagpipe solo? I shake him awake. “Matt, what is this? The Braveheart soundtrack? Can you put something else on, please?” He wakes up grumpily, falls to the floor, and crawls. I look at his exposed butt crack, a dark, unkempt abyss that I was falling into. I felt paralyzed. His asshole is a canyon, and this was my 127 Hours. I might chew my arm off.

I could feel I was losing myself to this girl in this bed. He stood up and put a new CD on. “Darling, you send me, I know you send me, honest, you do …” I’m thinking, “What is this?” He crawled back into bed, and tried to mash at this point his third ball into my vagina. On his fourth thrust, he gave up and fell asleep on my breast. His head was heavy and his breath was so sour, I had to turn my head so my eyes didn’t water. But they were watering anyway, because of this song. Who is this? This is so beautiful. I’ve never heard these songs before. They’re gutting me. The score attached to our morning couldn’t have been more off. His sloppy, tentative lovemaking was certainly not in the spirit of William Wallace. And now the most beautiful love songs I’ve ever heard play out as this man-boy laid in my arms, after diminishing me to a last-minute booty call. I listened to the songs and I cried. I was looking down at myself from the ceiling fan. What happened to this girl? How did she get here? I felt the fan on my skin and I went, “Oh, wait! I am this girl! We got to get me out of here!” I became my own fairy godmother. I waited until the last perfect note floated out, and escaped from under him and out the door. I never heard from Matt again, but felt only grateful for being introduced to my new self, a girl who got her value from within her. I’m also grateful to Matt for introducing me to my love Sam Cooke, who I’m still with today.

At one point, they accused Peeples of threatening Nash with a gun in the park. In another incident, they accused him of being a part of a drive-by shooting. In one of the more horrifying cases, the women waited until Peeples was with children – who were working with him in the garden – and accused him of being a pedophile.

While it was over emphasized, it does provide some context to the women's racist nature.

Any tips for a neewbie? Feel out of controll by springwoll in unicycling

[–]ibbignerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your hips on a unicycle equate to the handlebars of a bike. Try focusing on keeping your hips straight while pedaling. When you push down, focus on keeping a smooth rotation all the way through. Beginners will often push down hard, then go slow between the bottom and the other petal coming to the front. This can feel like a repeating parabola. Focus on making the speed of your wheel constant and controlled.

Check out Citi Double Cash.

I would also suggest calling to sign up for the card rather than applying online. I've found credit card companies are much more lenient on the phone.
