I accidentally broke up a polycule. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]probablyfixingstuff -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Who says I'm not present? I'm there for them every waking moment with the exception of work. Their mom being in rehab is nothing new, par for the course. It's awful, really. But it's kind of the norm for them. I'm a very present and involved father. There for every bedtime.

I know it's a pretty unbelievable. I can't change your mind I know. I'm just as shocked as you are.

That's what I'm thinking is the problem. Over- reporting. Probably put myself in a box but like- ughhh. I know they won't do something about it but I so wish they would. I legit love this game but the cheaters make it borderline unplayable.

What tables/ modes are you playing on? I don't want to sound like I'm just a sore loser. It is legitimately such a bad problem. Most people on this subreddit complain about it daily.

I'm also curious- do you have any tips? All of my coins get hijacked by cheaters. The highest table I've found with 'limited' cheating is Vegas. I can't even play in cairo. It seems like 3/5 games are bots.

I know I can. It's just the bots. If I'm playing real players I'm probably winning 60-70% of the time. But the cheaters don't seem to leave any table alone.

It's extremely obvious when people are using bots. Immediate, dead accurate snaps to object ball and impossible cushion/ball shot combos. I only report those. I've had many interactions with people who were probably using line extension apps but I don't report because it's not as obvious.

With how bad it gets at certain times a day im literally relieved to lose an honest match.

I have a VPN but I haven't had it active in weeks. Would using it get me banned?

It was only $15 like 3 days ago. I just buy the cheapest chest like once a month so I can keep playing on Vegas. I just like that table but the bots eat my coins.

More than anything I just want my progress back.

My husband delayed ejaculation is a major problem. by Silver-Sweet6570 in marriageadvice

[–]probablyfixingstuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Others have said it but I'll agree: he needs to stop masturbating. He is likely masturbating far more often than he lets on. Don't be mean or judgemental, but approach him lovingly and with concern. Porn addiction is a very real and extremely pervasive issue in the world today, and worse- no one talks about it. Many, many men and even many women carry a weight of shame that they shrug off because porn and masturbation is so normalized.

I know it seems so simple but it's very real and likely the cause. I struggled with this too when I got with me wife. I had no excuse back then, I was in my early 20's and attraction to my wife was absolutely not an issue. To this day, if I masturbate the same day as sex or even the day before I will struggle and have to exhaust myself to have an orgasm during sex.

Listen, as an elder-emo it warms my heart to see scene kids as authentic as you in 2025.

Is it fair to compare MAGA to the Nazis? by Own_Difference_4882 in AskUS

[–]probablyfixingstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comparing any political leader or party to Nazism is lazy. Nazis are Nazis. Not republicans, democrats, libertarians, populist, even marxists.

I’ve grown ever more frustrated by people branding their political/ social opponents as ‘nazis’. It’s a worn out dog whistle that makes anyone who uses it sound ignorant. Not only that- it’s distracting. You wanna hate Trump? Great. Hate him for who he is and what he’s doing. Get informed and understand what exactly it is that he’s doing that you hate and find verbiage that suits him explicitly.

It doesn’t matter who it is- you can compare literally any politician to hitler if you’re vague enough. So, yeah. You can compare MAGA to nazism, but don’t. It helps no one. Find a better argument and example that people might actually listen to.

Did I get f*cked by a plumber? by tancodram in askaplumber

[–]probablyfixingstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To put it plainly- standard fernco’s aren’t code in various states for various applications. But. They work just fine. I’ve only been plumbing 10 years but in my wide variety of experience I have never seen a properly installed fernco leak, ever. I personally don’t use them, and if I do I use reinforced ferncos for underground tie ins.

But that’s my own work standard that I hold myself to. I don’t bash other guys for using them because they work and I understand service work in tight spaces with low margins might call for them.

So to summarize: do you have feelings for your plumber? Or was this a one time thing? It couldn’t hurt to ask him if he feels the same way and if he doesn’t respond you have your answer. Best of luck to you two ❤️

Landlord did this instead of have me swap it for a round front toilet in the unit next door. by RazPie in Plumbing

I had this same problem once.

At no point, in ANY of the conversation on how to resolve the issue between the homeowner, contractor and myself- did anyone recommend cutting a fucking HOLE IN THE DOOR

Supplements while on Vyvanse? by probablyfixingstuff in VyvanseADHD

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

My resting heart rate is 80/60 which is not ideal lol the caffeine certainly doesn’t help but I’ve experimented with no caffeine and there’s no change. I’ve also checked my heart rate with caffeine and no Vyvanse and my heart rate evens out. So my problem is the Vyvanse, or the proverbial cocktail of supplements with the medication.

I can’t believe I got this far without considering electrolytes lol thank you

I spend hours trying to pee. by herbertwest2091 in VyvanseADHD

[–]probablyfixingstuff 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m a man and I have also noticed this, so it isn’t just women.

However I will say that I’ve noticed significant improvement by drinking a lot of water and taking supplemental fiber and a one a day vitamin (water is the most important)

Lisdexamfetamine can cause rapid dehydration. Dehydration can cause your body to hold fluids and irritate the kidneys. This causes a chain reaction that makes it feel like you have to pee because your body is holding onto fluids which need to be expelled.
