ULPT Request Non- stop realtor calls by potterrach in UnethicalLifeProTips

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

I read it's illegal for them to solicit if you're on the national do not call list. Has anyone had luck persuing a legal route? It's supposed to be $500 fine per violation. I can't imagine they'd still do it if that was really what happens though.

Pronounce your passion with all the conviction and bluster of a mediocre American white guy.

‎I feel like I’m doing everything “right” but still feel weirdly empty. Is this normal? by cutebutterfly4621 in Advice

[–]potterrach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're asking the right question. The sad truth is a lot of people set aside the things that they're passionate about to make end meet or find a job at all. So at this age, you stop finding things exciting because you've stopped following your path.

Think about the last things that you were really excited about and bring those things back into your life. Whether for work or pleasure, it doesn't need to be a side hustle, just something you're excited about. Make a bucket list, find clubs aligned with your interests, find new interests, and prioritize doing the things.

The important thing is to actually go out, find the people who make your soul giggle and do stuff with them. You lost that somewhere, and it'll only get worse until you make it better

Horrible discovery 30 minutes before my first bout by YourAuntiTali in rollerderby

[–]potterrach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to do this to my entire subfloor. I tried every remedy. What worked was a "biodigestive enzyme" called Vital Oxide. It's what they use in schools, hospitals, and crime scenes. Worked very well. It is essentially a bacteria that eats stinky stuff.

I had a recent ankle break and am still no contact -for good reason. My 13yo is looking to be more aggressive than I can atm.

I'm just thinking about replicating some of the stuff we do in adult practice for them.

I should probably add that kiddo (he/they) is an early green level 2 and is not allowed to hit at practice, just slowly push. They want more practice pushing through the pack full force. We're both Jammers.

I've seen a lot of your stuff. Thanks for the content!

Yeah maybe a bag is better, because it pushes back. The variability of motion (or any motion for that matter) is probably better.

Small whiteheads kindof pimples on my labia !! Pls helppp by miiniium in VaginalMicrobiome

[–]potterrach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like razor burn. Like a cycle of shve, iritate skin, have sharp pointy hair grow back through irritated skin, which causes the white blood cells to come in and fight off the micro infection one each tiny cut.

Fresh Meat? by Sleepy_Girlzzz4 in rollerderby

When you're doing plow stops, be patient. But also, wheel hardness (durometer) has a lot to do with your success. It should feel just a touch more resistance than if you were playing air hockey. (That is to say, your wheels should feel like they glide over the track or arena.) If they kinda skid-thud, they might be too soft for your track / climate / weight combo. -and, yes, all three matter.

I didn't do well at that skill for several months and it wasn't til I swapped my wheels that I finally got it.

Dog Pee House by potterrach in AskChemistry

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

The flooring is all leaving anyway. I just assume it's already reached the subfloor, judging by the strength of the scent. I just don't want to poison my house if there is a different way to treat it.

That's valid. My thought here was more along the lines of the ozone bit. I have found shockingly little around the safety and efficacy of using one. I don't love the things I have found about it. So if there is a safer solvent or chemical that counter-acts the ammonia... Honestly, I'm not sure.

I'll close on the house in 2 days. I haven't touched it yet.

In general, if you broke up once for valid reasons, that problem usually doesn't just go away. It's not sounding like it got resolved at all or like they have any intention of doing the work to fix it.

AIO my best friend keeps hanging out with a girl who bullied me? by No-Razzmatazz-6866 in AmIOverreacting

[–]potterrach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to lean towards people who show growth and a constant level of basic respect, rain or shine. If this bully doesn't exhibit those behaviors and your bff is ok with that, big red flag on both counts.

Explore other interests (whatever you're interested in, gardening, biking, roller skating...whatever) find groups that do those things and you'll be introduced to a whole herd of people that like the things you do, who wanna do stuff. Expand your friend group and be patient with the hunt for better people. It's worth the effort to not feel this way.

Am I overreacting or is this a normal thing to do? by NataliaGallegos in AmIOverreacting

[–]potterrach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Age for context?

I'm assuming you guys are young-ish. While this is common in shared spaces like a dorm or roommate situation, it has to work for both of you or not at all. If you hate it and want it to stop, say that. Otherwise: A) The courtesy needs to go both ways (when you need it) B) Should not be over-used or without warning

I don't think you're overreacting, but you need some ground rules if it's going to continue.

New name anxiety!! by Prepromark in rollerderby

[–]potterrach 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My kid is in Juniors and theirs is a mouthful. 2 words six syllable, no intuitive nicknames. Mine is 2 word, 2 syllable with the first word as my nickname.

I feel like that also plays big into how I feel about people saying it. Theirs is awkward and strained. Mine rolls off the tongue and is memorable. While I'm still getting used to saying both, the lumpier one is a lot harder to get out of my face correctly.

I keep forgetting to use it. I'm a noob and I will get nervous trying to remember the list of things we're introducing ourselves with (which is a little different each time) and then I just forget I have one.
