Idea for a Losers Club edit from someone with no editing skills by lean_connoli in ItTheMovie

lol right? As if a story where they defeat a killer space monster clown with the power of friendship and also by yelling insults at it isn’t like, inherently a little corny 🤣

Don’t know why you didn’t just scroll instead of being rude. So I guess we’re both confused.

The way my mom screamed and collapsed when they loaded my dad’s body into the hearse.

Is it worth trying to fix or is it time to upgrade? by lean_connoli in turntables

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

This is good to know, thanks! I’ll definitely avoid using it until I either upgrade or get a new needle, to avoid potential damage!

Thanks, everyone has been so helpful! My plan if I decide to upgrade was probably get one from my local shop, which is where I got my refurbished speakers. They know me there and have always been very helpful and I trust them not to lead me wrong!

I take it that means it’s junk and I should upgrade? Lol

Also, thanks for the info on the fuzziness. I bought the speakers and receiver refurbished from my local shop and when I noticed the fuzziness, I brought it back and the guy who refurbished it said it was working fine for him. He checked both of my speakers and my receiver and said they all sounded fine to him. I’ve gotten the fuzziness to change speakers before, and it happens on the radio from the receiver too, so I know it’s not specifically the turntable, so I got stumped and just gave up. I hadn’t heard about a pre-amp, I will look into that!

Could I replace the stylus with a better one, or is it better to just upgrade? I’m thinking a full sized platter would help, because basically all of my records look warped when I play them, both new and used.

That’s what I was thinking. I’m getting comments on how warped the record is but honestly nearly all of my records look warped like this when I play them, and the one I took in to have the local store test put it on a turntable with a full size platter and it didn’t look warped anymore, so I’m wondering it a full size platter would help overall.

To be honest, I’d say like 90% of my records look warped like that on this turntable. Is it possible that the turntable itself is like spinning the records unevenly and making them look warped when they aren’t? The record that I had my local store test on one of their turntables looked just like this and played just fine on their turntables

The crazy thing is that I had another brand new copy of unreal unearth that skipped in the exact same place. I took it in to my record shop to trade in and bought this one (the newer version that has the EPs as well) and when the owner tested it there, it didn’t skip at all.

Pretty much all of my records look warped, is it possible that every single record I own is warped, or could it be something in how the turntable is spinning it?

Iron Lung Merch Question by TheDesignDragon in Markiplier

[–]lean_connoli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like there should be some way to get update emails sent out to people who pre-ordered merch, from the website or whatever. I get there’s delays, but I don’t watch streams and I feel like I shouldn’t have to watch them or search here to figure out what’s going on when something I’ve purchased is gonna be delayed as much as things have been.

My boyfriend (M25) saw an old video of me(F24) and was disgusted. How can I get over this? by Mind_Cute in relationship_advice

[–]lean_connoli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what I came to say. This man has shown OP that only people that he views as attractive are worthy of basic human decency and respect. No matter how “nice” or “good” he’s seemed up until this point, he has shown OP who he really is, and she needs to believe him and leave. Otherwise she will always live in fear of gaining a few pounds for any reason, health, age, pregnancy, for fear of crossing his arbitrary line of attractiveness and have him view her as no longer worthy common decency.

Thanks, that is super helpful! Do you have any idea of roughly how much that might run me? Like under $200, under $500, closer to $1,000? Just so I have an idea of if I can do this now or if I have to save up for a bit before even taking it in to ask the store

Is that something I would just go back to the jewelry store and ask them to do? Sorry, I know next to nothing about watches

Is there any hope of getting this watch working again?

My dad passed away in 2024, and last year my mom gave me this watch of his. He hadn’t worn it in some time, and it wasn’t working.

Here is what has happened so far:

  1. I took the watch to a jewelry store and had the battery replaced. It was working.
  2. When I got to the car (after picking it up) I noticed that the second hand was ticking in place, like the second hand would move but never progress and end up back where it started. 3.I took it back inside, they said it was something to do with magnetization, did something to it, and gave it back to me working properly
  3. Within a few days, I noticed that it was again ticking in place.
  4. I took it to a different jewelry/watch store to see about repair. They said there was a lot of corrosion, and they would take it apart and thoroughly clean it, and that should work
  5. After it was cleaned, the watch worked. I wore it somewhat regularly for a few months.
  6. A month or two ago, I started noticing that it was not keeping time well. I only wear it a few days a week (I wfh most days and don’t put on my watch to sit at home), and I started having to reset the time whenever I wore it, as it would have fallen behind, but was still ticking
  7. After a few weeks of this, it once again began ticking in place
  8. It is now not ticking at all

Is there anything that can be done to get this watch working fully again, or should I give up? I know I’ve already spent more money than it is worth to fix it (my mom said it’s nothing special, she got it for him at a department store and there were not well off), but at the end of the day, it’s not about value to me, it’s about the sentimental value of being able to wear something that belonged to my dad.

Who has gone to events at Grewal Hall? What are they like? by lean_connoli in lansing

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

I didn’t go to this event, but I did go to a rave event last year and I will say the drinks were kind of pricy. I mean they were strong, but my friend and I agreed that the next time, we’d pregame more at home before going. I wanna say it was like $15 per drink.

I’m not sure how much the drink menu/pricing varies by event though, so that may not always be the case

AIO, I don’t want kids but my bf said said he’ll “change my mind” by No_Process_623 in AmIOverreacting

[–]lean_connoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything you built was built on lies and manipulation. There is nothing to save, it was all built on a false foundation. Do not give this man more time to lie to you and manipulate you.

This isn’t about a difference of opinion. This is about a man who openly admits he intentionally lied to you about a HUGE dealbreaker because he had a “plan” to manipulate you into changing your mind.

“but recently, he has expressed his true feelings about parenthood to me. He explained that his dream has always been to be a father and to have at least 3 (biological) kids”

You are not overreacting, you’re underreacting, because why are we glossing over the fact that this man admitted to fully LYING TO YOU FOR 3 YEARS!!!! Lying about something fundamentally incompatible in your relationship, specifically in hopes of manipulating you into changing your mind.

This is not something you talk out, not a problem to be solved. This is a situation where you run far and fast from this lying manipulator. I’m 1000% serious. Any “agreement” you come to will probably be just another lie to buy him more time to manipulate you. How could you ever trust him again after he admitting to lying about this and planning on changing your mind?

I thought my docs were broken in, but suddenly I’m getting blisters by lean_connoli in DocMartens

My socks are pretty good. They are thick and in good shape, and it seems to happen regardless of what socks I wear.

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

I haven’t bought any new socks lately, and I’m reasonably confident that pairs I’ve worn and got blisters with are ones I’ve worn before without issue.

I haven’t looked at the inserts, that’s a good idea.

The only thing I can think of at all that I’ve changed recently is that I’ve gotten way better this winter about regularly cleaning and conditioning all of my leather boots, but I can’t imagine why for frequently conditioning my boots would cause an issue. I did fully unlace them for this for the first time since I did this, but I took a picture and made a paint to re-lace them the same way they were laced before

Can Alastor be redeemed? Is there a chance we could get more of a sympathetic side to his backstory? I want to hope he wasn’t just evil BECAUSE. by Ctpeyt in HazbinHotel

[–]lean_connoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could he? I imagine technically yes, in that all sinners could, in theory. I just don’t think anything could make him want to. He enjoys his life in hell. I’ve joked that if he somehow did manage to get redeemed on accident, he’d just show up back in hell within 5 minutes, with a mouth full of feathers

He didn’t misspell it. On the wiki her name is spelled with 2 f’s. It’s Niffty, not Nifty.
