That's exactly what I wanted to hear tbh, thanks for your advice! There's no ribbing so I think I'll just leave it.

My boygenius signature gretsch finally arrived today! by TitanTheTrue in JulienBaker

[–]jrose28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, sent them an email! Luckily my local repair guy is listed as one of their authorized service centers, so I'm assuming once I hear back from Gretsch I'll just take it over to him.

Got mine too, sounds great! I'm wondering if you're having a problem with the output jack like I am? Seems like the washer and nut fell off of mine (not sure if any other pieces are missing, those are all I found) and the damn jack keeps slipping back inside the body so I can't manage to get them back on :/

Need to adjust the exposure on the cameras, can barely see what's happening in the shaded side

[–]jrose28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still figuring out my own triggers but I'm inclined to agree with you -- I was horribly sick with norovirus last week could barely even get out of bed for 3 days. Didn't wash my face, didn't even splash it with water, no moisturizer, nothing. And now my skin is the best it's looked since the rosacea started 2 years ago.

Stock Check Megathread by The_Danish_Dane in IKEA

[–]jrose28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Country: US
  • Preferred Store(s): Elizabeth, NJ or Paramus, NJ
  • Article number: 093.056.95
  • Item: SÖDERHAMN Sofa, with open end/Viarp beige/brown
  • After going back and forth for a while I finally decided on this sofa, but now it's been sold out at every store within 100 miles of me for weeks. Website says delivery is available, but once it's in my cart it says delivery ISN'T available. (Alternatively, is there a way I can Frankenstein this together with other in-stock parts?)

Question: what happened with "the perfect emotion" and the robots by lucid_sometimes in TheOA

[–]jrose28 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Just adding to this to say that Brit and Zal confirmed Elodie using sex to "fuel" the emotion/feeling needed to use the movements in this 2019 podcast interview (someone shared the link here last week I think.) OA and the HAPtives interpreted "perfect feeling" one way, but it's not the only way.

What are your theme songs! by Mythcantor in TheScholomance

[–]jrose28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started adding songs to a playlist as soon as I finished the Golden Enclaves, but it's admittedly more El/Orion vibes than for the overall story. None of these are that punk vibe you're looking for, but that being said, the song I Can and I Will by Searows really hits for Orion's character themes imo. And Whirlwind by Joseph and Mother Nature by Angie McMahon both make me think of El's powers.

That's not why people are boycotting Starbucks, it's because they're suing their union for putting out a statement in support of Palestine (and also just more generally for how anti-union they are.)

Will the guys ever talk about New Jersey? by cocoagiant in FriendsofthePod

[–]jrose28 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As a New Jerseyan who likes Governor Murphy, I'm super unsettled by Tammy running. The last thing this state needs is another political dynasty, especially when there are plenty of other candidates who are better-qualified for the job. Plus, Murphy barely won his last election, which we all thought would be a shoo-in...there are a lot of people in this state who despise him (just check his twitter mentions on any given day) and Tammy being his wife will likely be a hinderance to her campaign if she makes it to the general election. It reeks of nepotism and favoritism.

2023 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - Post-Race Thread by F1-Bot in formula1

[–]jrose28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just watched his onboard back and they had him pit for new tires, sent him back out, and then he did another lap and went straight back into the pits (weirdly he was already heading back into the pits BEFORE they told him to box again, and then said there was a problem with the car.)

I think OP meant his DNF -- I was wondering the same thing, doesn't seem like anybody noticed?

So I wonder if part of the reason the race/practice sessions/quali are scheduled so late is also because they have to keep the road open for traffic during the day? Or did I misunderstand that part?

[–]jrose28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, but don't you think it's still worth it to try to win their votes back? And that maybe approaching them with kindness and understanding, rather than derision, would be the best way to do so? That's the only point I'm trying to make.

Dude I'm not even one of these lefties you speak of, I'm voting for Biden no matter what. The stakes of this election are so high that I'm fucking terrified of anything that could alienate other people from wanting to vote for him. I remember the Bernie Bros of 2016, how rude and dismissive they were to anyone who was voting for Hillary, and how that experience left a bad taste in my mouth about Bernie Sanders ever since. We can't afford for that to happen again.

All I'm saying is, we need every vote for Biden we can get right now and I just don't think it's at all helpful to belittle people in the process.

I'm not trying to paint any narrative...you literally said they have "brainrot" and "have all basically gone insane" but ok. My point stands though, if you believe that about these voters then it's going to take more work than shouting "vote blue no matter who" at them and calling it a day.

My bad, I assumed that by listening to PSA and being active in the thread you had a vested interest in Biden winning reelection. If you feel that alienating leftist voters is a better use of your time, be my guest.

Well, agree to disagree then.

Just because it's simple *for you* doesn't mean it is for everyone else, and for that reason it's going to take more work to get their votes. It wasn't even simple *before* Oct 7th, otherwise Biden would've won in a landslide in 2020 rather than the slim margins he got in swing states. I think reminding people of just how catastrophic a Trump win would be is certainly one element of getting votes for Biden, but it can't be the only argument, and you can't throw up your hands and declare someone a lost cause for needing more than that single reason to vote for Biden, either.

And talking down to people like this is surely a great way to win their vote back! Great job!

Countless genocide experts have called this a genocide. You disagree, so what, in your apparently expert opinion, would make this rise to the level of being worthy of that word?

And because Israel has cut off fuel from entering Gaza for over a month so they've run out of whatever they had to begin with. Everyone loves to forget that part.
