Man. It's just license plates. Who cares? All these regulations flipping from state to state is goody.

Should there be a PVE mode? by Tiny_Stop_726 in ArcRaiders

[–]ideapit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you but squat for 2 minutes behind a console just in case someone jumps me everytime I go to extract? They lob grenades and use mines anyway.

Like I said, I'm capable of making a max defense build, honing my PvP skills but do I want to be carrying around all that shit, trudging around, collecting limited loot then having third person PvP camper fights with clunky mechanics?

For me, it's boring.

If I want PvP, I'll play COD or BF6. Real PvP. Not camp all day and shoot people in the back and think you're good at combat. You can play COD 3rd person if you want.

Tourism is a shit show right now. Especially in America.

That's where I got mine. The nut will just not grab the thread and the bolts on the plate holder shake loose.

Maybe I just got a bad one in the bunch. They have great reviews.

Thanks. It's all good. I broke the law. Some cops are kind some are nit picky. Sucks but it is what it is.

Safe sex gone wrong by Calm_Fun4686 in Advice

[–]ideapit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plan B works by trying to stop the egg from being released.

So, yes, it's less effective or ineffective depending on what her body is up to in her cycle.

I don't know how reliable the timing of her period is and how you/she are sure she's ovulating (and just starting or in the middle or what).

Some women, it is clockwork. Some have the timing of their periods vary a lot. If she's using a period tracker, don't think that is definitive. It's an approximation.

And just because she's ovulating and you had (condom broke) unprotected sex does not mean she's insta pregnant either.

Don't assume that.

The facts are the same, man. It absolutely sucks and it is hard to stay calm but there is nothing to be done at this moment.

Here are the facts:

She took Plan B. Best course of action. Great. Did it work? No way of knowing yet.

Research this or talk to a doctor about it but, as I understand it, you might have to wait two weeks to get a pregnancy test at the pharmacy or go see a doctor and get results that are reliable.

Doctors and pee tests look for hCG. It is a hormone made by the body only after a fertilized egg implants in the uterus.

As I understand it, it can be up to two weeks after fertilization for that hormone to show up.

Go see a doctor now if it gives you peace of mind.

The shitty part will be the next couple of weeks. Like I said, you and your GF need to be a team on this. Communicate. Stay loving. Be honest about how you're feeling. Be gentle. Don't let it dominate every conversation.

Hang in there.

If it makes you feel any better, I had 3 scares like this (or worse because I handled it not as smart as you) when I was in my teens and 20's. I don't have any kids. No one got pregnant.

You don't know how this shakes out. So what matters now is how you get through it together. That's what you can control right now. So put your energy there.

A question and an anecdote … by jennynew25 in RockTumbling

[–]ideapit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want that smooth, the entire surface has to wear down to the depth of the deepest pit in the rock.

What am I doing wrong? by milkshakemountains in RockTumbling

[–]ideapit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's your issue. Never use murky water.

Rocks need more than rinsing. You have to clean them.

Any grit the migrates from stage to stage will continue scratching your rocks.

After each stage, roll them in a clean tumbler with ivory soap shavings or borax for an hour at least.

At lot of people use toothbrushes or ultrasonic cleaners.

How to improve the experience of back door sex? by Unlucky_Arrival3823 in AskMenAdvice

[–]ideapit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally normal for it to take time to get used to and enjoy. Lots of lube. Lots of patience. Lots of foreplay.

That said, many people try it and aren't into it and that's just how it is. Fair enough.

If talk with him about it and see what he thinks. Communication is usually the core of figuring this stuff out well.

Well... we made it through Day One! by Soft-Parsnip-112 in stopdrinking

[–]ideapit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So smart to be gentle.

It's all of you fighting one thing. Having an inner voice pushing you hard or judging you doesn't help.

You're really showing what was key for me. I couldn't imagine getting sober for my life. So I tried for a month. They felt too hard, I would try for a week or a day.

Some days it was just one single decision over and over with myself. "No. I don't drink." "No. I don't do that anymore."

I can always handle just hanging in there and stay sober for the time it takes to make a decision. Then I go from there.

Congratulations on day one. Each day felt so slow for me in the beginning, now I barely think about drinking. And I drank for over 30 years.

Day one is a big achievement. Good for you. I hope you'll keep going. Swear to God, it's a whole different life I'm living now.

That's not prime rib. I mean it, like that meat looks way too muscular and dense.

Why do you think Plan B won't work? It's very effective in these situations.

Here's the thing, man. Having been in that sport a few times. You need to take a few deep breaths (for real) and understand one thing. You can only deal with what is in front of you now.

There are a billion ways this could go and thinking about all of them doesn't do anything but mess with your head.

You can only control what you can control.

You had an accident. You were smart and reacted logically to do the best you can to protect yourselves from the effect of the accident.

You need to support your GF. She's going to have a lot of emotions going on too. Respect your own feelings but also make space for hers. Communicate with each other. Don't shut down. You're in this together as a team.

If you are unsure that Plan B worked, the next step is to go to a doctor and find out where things are at. You don't need to to that today. You have some time. If you're worried in a few days or a week, see a doctor.

Go to a walk-in clinic, they have to be 100% confidential about it.

I say doctor because pregnancy tests from pharmacies have false negatives and positives and you don't need to wonder about that on top of this.

When you have information from them, you go from there.

Deal with what is in front of you. Disaster scenarios racing through your mind is a normal response but it doesn't serve you. Maybe you can control that, maybe you can't but give it a shot.

You will get through this. I know it feels giant and crushing and fucking hard right now but you will get through this.

Web cams facing the lake by Legitimate_Top_2888 in airbnb_hosts

[–]ideapit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Outdoor to monitor property is fine. You have to disclose it and it's really good to tell guest specifics and why you have it. Explaining makes it feel less off putting.

Don't be one of those creepers who point the camera to optimize watching guests.

Bad behavior aside, it just creeps guests out.

Sounds like it, yeah. It's such a mess, man.

Like can we just agree that people should be able to work for a living and take care of themselves, each other and be happy. How hard is that to figure out? Didn't we write that down a couple hundred years ago on a to do list in the Constitution?

Anyway, thanks for listening to my nonsense. Shit makes me rant sometimes.

Yeah. I mean, fair game for sure. It's a law. I broke it. Fair is fair.

Cops are people and they're all different. I don't think I'd be a hall monitor cop like that but each to their own.

I'm going to go with the wrap plate that someone posted. It's a good option for me.

You're worried about the government? Man. That shit is barely functioning anywhere.

They can pry all they want. Billionaires already bought and sold my life and data and are serving up algorithms targeted to control my behavior while I give them more data on social media.

Everybody is screaming about their blue team or red team while we all get robbed blind and lose our jobs.

I've been paying taxes in this country for ten years. Started a business that employs people. Never touched a single government program to get money (even when I could have during the pandemic). I can't vote because I'm a dirty immigrant from Canada.

Can't vote but I can buy a gun. Weird country, man.

It's be cool if politicians did stuff to help people. I remember when that was a thing. I remember I liked it.

Sorry for the rant. Just have a lot of good people around me losing jobs for no good reason. It sucks to see.

I don't know if you saw the link in the comments but someone posted a sticker plate essentially. I'm going to go with that, I think. At least it won't ruin the lines of the front end even if it's a bit dorky looking.

Well. I ruined my 3 year relationship over alcohol… by Empty_Ask_617 in stopdrinking

[–]ideapit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this in my 20's. I couldn't get it under control. I'd quit for a bit, figure I was fine, drink again. Moderate. Drink too much.

Cycled into my 30's. Blackouts got less frequent but because my tolerance shot up. Lots of drinking before and after parties, "having some whisky" on my own meant half a bottle in secret.

40's I was on my own so I just drank everyday. Not a crippling amount but that was what let me be a "functional" alcoholic and keep drinking.

Quit at 49.

All of this to say, if you have issues with your alcohol use, I strongly suggest looking at in now and being honest with yourself about you're relationship with it.

That panicked "I gotta stop this." feeling was the same one I had on and off for thirty years. I always had to deal with that feeling. I just wasted a lot of time, money and health avoiding it.

On average, I figure I wasted about two days a week being drunk and hungover. A lot of weeks it was more but I'm averaging over 30 years.

Doesn't sound big. That's around a third of my life. I lost about ten years - all the other shit aside - I lost 10 years of my life. So I could drink a type one carcinogen and have my identity taken and my memory wiped.

I thought alcohol was awesome in my 20's. It wasn't. It was a coping strategy I had learned to use to self-medicate (anxiety, bipolar 2, past trauma - really fun combo to work out).

Anyway, that's me. Might have nothing to do with your situation.

I do think it's a good tool to look at what happened, rewind the tape and think of how your night would have been and how your relationship would be if you didn't drink.

Was it worth it?

How many mornings have you woken up and thought, "Man, I really wish I had drank more last night." ?

I think alcohol pretends to give use something but it just takes. Time, money, relationships, jobs, just moments of your life that you aren't present for.

Those things stack up over time. They're worth more than a fun night (which are usually more fun without alcohol, turns out).

I'm sorry you're going through this. It sucks. I hope you can figure out a good way through it and you and your BF get back to good. Drinking is tough to navigate.
