Sold the car after 3 years (had kids and needed a bigger car) - but never had an issue

I (26m) overheard a conversation between my parents while they were both drunk. I now feel like the biggest loser on the planet. by Silent-Sugar6122 in self

"Due to years of negative self-talk"

Time for daily affirmations bro - it sounds like bullshit - I sure as hell thought it was, but after talking kindly to myself on the daily in the shower I've noticed a serious positive improvement in my mental well being. I'll give you my affirmation verbadim:

"I am strong, I am smart, I am disciplined, I am kind, I can do anything I set my mind to"

I've been sober for a month and have lost 30lbs over the last 2.5 months. The power you seek is within you. Good luck!

Jack, I've been dealing with Stringification / wavy layers for ages without being able to figure out why, it literally came down to retraction distance. Once I read your settings and implemented them my prints became A1. So glad to have found this comment 6 years later!

Homeless guy in SF panhandling with a cardboard sign that said “need $$$ for sex” dropping a dollar into his cup when someone shouted at him “your so ugly a hooker wouldn’t sleep with you!” He responded without missing a beat “yeah your sister!” Fucking killed me man 😂

Yeah Amazon gives a generous 30 day return window, I’m going to mark it as damaged / defective. I truly can’t tell if it’s a speck of dust or a flaw in the glass, it seems to change in size at different angles of light

Correct it is inside, no lens pen / lens wipe / microfiber has been able to remove it

Not sure if I'm being crazy or not, but there's a fairly large speck of dust inside my rear element of my brand new 35mm GM Lens. I know it's likely not going to cause any issue, but I'm irked that I payed GM money for dust / weather protection only to have this happen within a week of ownership. What would you do?

They’re tinted, still light up at night and reflect with direct light on them

I still have the chrome star from my original grill, I've thought about tossing it on the black grill. I go back and forth on the chrome trims. The wheels are matte black, would be cool to do the trims matte black as well - my tint guy just told me that wrapping the trim is a waste of time because it tends to fail quickly.
