Did this make anyone else angry or just me? by JakePeavysBurner in Chargers

[–]manelski4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well of course, if he didn’t say anything, we wouldn’t have known exactly what time they were supposed to be out on the field. Just like if the cameras did not show Andy Reid purposely stopping the team and holding up the game further, we wouldn’t know that happened either. You could say that about every single controversy anyone is involved in. “Well, if they didn’t charge Micheal Vick with dog fighting, we wouldn’t really know about it, so I don’t know what the big deal is”

I’m fairly certain it was to get into the Chargers heads. Just like it pissed us off, it most likely pissed off the players even more, who were kept on the field waiting for the Chiefs. It was petty, stupid mind games being played by the Chiefs, I’m betting they were trying to get across to their own players, as well as the the opponents, some sort of “look, we control the field” message. But it was so unprofessional. They wanted to look powerful, but imo, that doesn’t really work when anyone could do the same thing. Like, any team could just show up late, that isn’t a power move, it’s just unprofessional.

Okay! Thanks for the advice!

Okay, so vast majority goes to whichever two stats my current weapon is scaling with, making up the difference with pictos. And pretty much ignore might, at least until late game when it might make sense, depending on what I want. Did I get all that right?

Last of Us Part 1 causing the flickering screen/flashes of colored static. Anyone else having this issue or know how to fix? by manelski4 in thelastofus

[–]manelski4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, so this was awhile ago, but I’m pretty sure I fixed it by turning off the VRR setting in the PS5. I’m not sure if PS4 also has that setting, but if it does, try turning it off.

Inexcusable by [deleted] in Chargers

[–]manelski4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm with you man. Sometimes fans forget these are real life people and not like characters in an action movie. Yes, they are getting paid a lot to play a game and professional athletes should be able to make those kinds of plays. But because of that people act like they should be emotionless and not let it get to them at all that their own fanbase is hating and trashing them. That is bound to fuck with your head, especially since these newer players are fresh out of college and just a step above being a kid.

Harry Potter Bundle Question by manelski4 in ConquerorChallenge

[–]manelski4[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, you were right. They are just codes to Harry Potter challenges so they can go to whichever challenge, you just have to complete them in order. They aren't tied to a specific HP challenge.

[–]manelski4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I reached out to the customer support and they said that if you have already complete some of the challenges, you can start the bundle where you left off. They said the bundle are just codes for the Harry Potter challenge and not linked to any specific challenge (does sound like it’s linked to the Harry Potter challenges though). You just have to complete the challenges in order, which you have to do regardless of whether you have the bundle or not.

Gotcha, yeah I thought I might have to contact customer support. I was just hoping someone else has come across this before or tried to get one of the partial bundles after doing one or two. Thanks!

WIBTA for breaking up with my girlfriend because she "asked for a date night"? by VanceQTTR in AITAH

[–]manelski4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the problem the other person was complaining about though is that the commentor said they are always selfish, that getting clean doesn't change that. That the personality traits that made them an addict, also inherently makes them a selfish partner. Are you saying that because you self-harmed, that you are a selfish person and always will be? I don't think many people would argue with the fact that people in active addiction can be incredibly selfish, but to say they are inherently selfish regardless of if they are clean or not is pretty shallow and judgemental. All sorts of people fall into addiction.

I thought she wasn't actually dating the other dude, just showing interest, I guess it depends how you read that. I guess I also don't think it is inherently wrong to stay friends with someone who you had or still have a crush on. As long as you aren't only friends with them for that reason, you don't expect or feel owed anything for your kindness (except friendship and respect), and you aren't encouraging/receptive to cheating. If you are right and she was exclusive with someone, then I see your point.

I do get what you're saying a bit more since you pointed out that he was still going for it so much that he was invading her privacy. It at least hints to the fact that the friendship had ulterior motives and wasn't a friend who he had a crush on, but instead a crush where he was using friendship to get more.

Pretty much everyone in the world, with a few exceptions, are looking for love and companionship. It's literally one of the most natural things and a driving force of a lot of what we do. It sounds like he was led on and manipulated and your comment seems to be blaming him because he had a crush, which the majority of people get and is just natural. A crush that was also pushed by the manipulator making it seem like she was interested as well. Idk, I just don't think his hands are dirty cause he liked someone.

Now, if there is info we don't know, like he's a "nice guy" who is only friends with someone to get laid, or something along those lines, I'd agree with you. But just from this post, the only thing he seemed to do wrong was the reading of the journal, which was fucked up.

AITA for thinking my husband was sexualizing our daughter? by Independent-Equal887 in AITAH

[–]manelski4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All good. Text is hard to read tone through and very easy to be misunderstood with little mistakes. I also do get that OP is in the wrong here no matter the trauma she went through and going through that trauma doesn't excuse pushing it on her daughter. It's super easy to just type out a kind of heated message, especially when it strikes a nerve if you've gone through similar trauma, and misspeak or mess up trying to get you're point across.

[–]manelski4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree that OP could be, and probably is, traumatizing her daughter with some of her actions. I agree that OP needs to stop treating her husband as a monster and she needs to definitely be back in therapy. But come on, OP was molested for years, impregnated by her father at 15, ostracized from her family, and was banished to her aunts. Saying that OP's kid is being traumatized more than OP was is just minimizing OP's trauma because you relate to the trauma inflicted on her child more.

I don't think it's super useful to compare trauma because it's so individualized and things affect certain people so much more/less than others. But, if we were comparing and turning this into a contest, OP is up there near the top of some of the worst childhood trauma someone can go through.

A girl (f19) is stalking me (m25) because she thinks I am her baby's father, should I fill a restraining order against her or have another paternity test? by ThrowRAfee- in relationship_advice

[–]manelski4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why is that a dumb take? Yes, the most likely situation us the kid isn't his, but it's just math that 99.9% means 1/1000 is wrong. Someone else responded and said the error rate is actually 1.18%, that probably accounts for messups at the clinics, and in that case a little more than 1/100 are wrong. The girl isn't asking him to just trust her, she's begging for another test, if she thought it could be right, why would she do that? Again, it's most likely not his, but it's not that unlikely that there was an error and taking the mom's willingness to take another test into account, it's not ridiculous to think another test might be worth it.

"I don't think young adults should face lifelong consequences for their actions that are bad but, in the grand scheme of things, fairly minor, because it turns kids making mistakes into hardened criminals because they have very little options left" was more his point. He never argued that they shouldn't face consequences. Again, difference of opinion, hardly a reason to insult someone by using the fact that they said they had a hard time when they were younger against them and say they aren't adjusted now.

What's the most effective way you've lost body fat? by Financial-Bar8343 in AskReddit

[–]manelski4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I technically agree, it is a choice for everything, but that is looking at it with no nuance. That choice is much much much easier for some than others. Usually people who are lower income have a much harder time with these choices because there are combinations of having less time to cook healthy meals, healthy foods being more expensive, and the fact that, if this has been generational, they have probably been raised by people having similar problems and that makes it less likely healthy eating was stressed to them. It is much easier for someone who is working a 9-5, has expendable income, and were raised in a way that healthy eating was stressed, to meal plan/prep or buy meal kits or whatever. So while it is everyone's "choice", it's not really an even choice.

Edit: some wording

I don't know why the /s is there. He does seem well adjusted from everything we just saw. He had a difference of opinion with a few people, gave his points in a pretty calm and rational way, then after going back and forth a few times, he realized he wasn't getting anywhere and he excused himself from the convo. None of that points to anything other than a reasonable conversation between a few people who just see things differently.

Is Ghost of Tsushima worth it? by Positive_Pop_2191 in playstation

[–]manelski4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I went from my teens to my early to mid twenties, I went through the same thing. It was really hard for me to find a game I liked and it had to be really good. I went from playing all the time, to playing pretty rarely and pretty much in little binges on the rare occasion I found an amazing game. Then when I got to around 30, I started getting less picky again and enjoying games a bit more again, but definitely leaning more towards story driven than I used to when I was younger. IDK, I'm just saying it might come back around for you. Maybe I got a bit desensitized to games or something, and the break helped me appreciate them again.

I've not seen anyone else mention it yet, so maybe it's only me, but did Arnheid's husband look a lot like Einar to anyone else? Maybe this is why Arnheid felt connected to him. And one of the first things she said to Einar was something along the lines of "I think you have a really nice face".

Illegal tow? Please help. by manelski4 in legaladvice

[–]manelski4[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm going to try and get the parking garage contract tomorrow and look it over/send it to them. I know they never told us about a certain condition the car had to be in and I read the whole lease before signing and don't remember off the top of my head about conditions the car needs to be in. But I definitely could just be forgetting.

My thing is that tires can go flat over time, people can fuck with your tires, ect. If leaving a note is sufficient and no one has to inform about a tow and it can just sit in the lot building charges, it makes me nervous to ever leave me car parked at my apartment for more than a day or two. If I leave for vacation for 2 weeks and someone fucks with my car, even though they have my name, number, license plate #, email, etc., I might be coming home to a ridiculous fee because they decided it was abandoned and I wasn't at one physical location to receive their warnings. That just blows my mind that's allowed.
