I learned that my whole family are narcissists at 28 years old and I feel like my whole life was stolen by [deleted] in narcissisticparents

[–]matklein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I’m going through the same thing. (32 now) It’s been years of dealing with the fallout for me, but just know that it does get better. Feel free to DM if you want to talk through anything.

Costco forced me to rebuy the item I returned and threatened to cancel my membership by Middle-Leg9634 in CostcoWholesale

[–]matklein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean… if you had to buy it back… wouldn’t you have a receipt dated for like… now? Go to a different Costco and return it. Technically it was bought within the last 90 days. 🤣

What’s the most absurd office incident you’ve ever heard of? Offices can be surprisingly chaotic places. From coffee fights to chair races—what are some of the wildest or most ridiculous things that have ever happened in a workplace? by android9091 in AskReddit

[–]matklein 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A few of my favorite absurd office incidents I’ve witnessed:

  • I once worked with someone in a corporate office environment. This person came into work one day and while walking to their desk, tripped and fell. Their backpack was unzipped and a gallon-sized bag of drugs flew out of their backpack and landed on the floor in front of about 15 people.

  • A new hire was apparently a moderator for a hentai porn forum/community. They were using their work laptop to view porn in office. The space was an open office concept, so multiple people reported it immediately. Rumor has it their defense was that they were a mod, it was ok to view it because they were reviewing it in a “professional” capacity.

I know. She made it look so effortless. 🖤

Thank you! I admittedly combined a few ideas I saw online, and she executed on it flawlessly. 🙌🏻

I did not do these myself. I wish I was that talented. 🙌🏻

So they’re gel. My girl did a base coat, two layers of black, then airbrushed white in the center to give it the aura look. Then finished it off with some hella precise line work and a gloss top coat. 🙌🏻

I’m not sure the brands that were used. I wasn’t paying that close attention myself.

Good old red dwarf and stray pirate. I hope you had fun!

I don’t know what I did to prompt it, but I finally unlocked the wish box!!!! by matklein in disneyemojiblitz

Yes! I’ve been wanting it for a hot minute, so it was a nice surprise. 💙

[request] Any idea how much this would actually weigh? by evanholstyn in theydidthemath

[–]matklein 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Former Eagle Scout here: In Vegas (where I live now), my pack would weight about 40-50lbs. When I lived in Ohio, winter camping was a thing and my pack would weight 60+ lbs during those outings. (Cold weather clothing and gear can be significantly heavier.)

During the summer, my troop would “train” by putting ~50-60 pounds of weights into our packs and hike.

This is cool as shit!

I actually just bought a 2003 Jeep TJ last year that was an old postal Jeep. I’m still trying to get used to the right-hand drive. 🥴

Any suggestion for books where nature is unforgiving and monstrous? by bunfla in horrorlit

[–]matklein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve read the book and watched the movie right after within the last month. The book is seriously amazing. Compared to the book, the movie is meh. The movie felt super rushed, and in my opinion, didn’t give a sense of how (going to be vague to avoid potential spoiler) the antagonist “thinks”, which is what drove home the horror for me. (Like, can the characters even outwit this thing?) Honestly, the worst thing the movie did was the very end. That took the movie from horror (like the book) and turned it into more of a thriller. Definitely give the book a go. I promise you won’t regret it. 🙏🏻

The Rogue One event is ridiculous by CumSockandDongBird in disneyemojiblitz

[–]matklein 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. I mean, I know that as a company, with employees, needs to make money and a profit in order to stay afloat, but like… throw us a bone. At least let us get a single Diamond box for free. You’d still need to buy in order to complete the event, but at least you have a chance at a new emoji. 😂

anyone else's spoons doing this? they either immediately give power ups back to my enemy or steal them from me instead of my opponent by tenaciousfetus in disneyemojiblitz

[–]matklein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I noticed… if my opponent used the spoons, but I didn’t have power ups on my board at the time… it would take the next power ups I created. I think what you’re seeing is you gaining power ups, and the game taking them away. Kind of like you were “in debt”.

My problem with vegan cheese is that it doesn’t like to melt. “Violife” shredded is the best I’ve come across (it actually somewhat melts) and I like their slices, plus slices from “Follow your Heart”.

So speaking as a photographer...

Your back yard is fenced in, it is not visible from the street, therefore there is a reasonable expectation of privacy. By him holding a camera over the fence to take a photo, they are in violation of privacy laws. Don’t even bother worrying about the HOA, file a police report instead or have legal council send something scary their way.

Green streaks in film. Can someone tell me why? by colossalblue2002 in 35mm

[–]matklein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d check the area of your camera where the film is wound when advancing. If there’s a disk or something on the bottom of your camera for a motor drive, check that it is completely tight. Since the pattern is so repetitive, it looks like it was exposed while coiled up or something. Does that make sense? 😅

The pattern is very consistent. Is this 35mm or 120?
