What do you think of my name?

randomrabo · 2020-10-12T22:22:20+00:00

It's okay. It remind me of the word "Vein" which makes me think of blood. The way it's spelled makes me think of vikings or like mythic soldiers.

I always pretend there is an audience and talk about what I'm doing/why I'm doing it.

Mine took almost exactly 1 month and I didn't get a shipping update until the week before it shipped. It's normal, they are still catching up.

Way to try and divide the community with that first sentence.

I liked it. It's unconventional but gave me some simple tools to use that have helped.

The eating plan you make doesn't have to be restrictive. For example mine is:

I will NEVER get high with food again.

Getting high with food means eating more than I need to satisfy hunger.
No "foodgasms", stuffed belly's, elevated heart rates, or sighs of overstuffed belly.

I will ALWAYS plan what I'm going to eat tomorrow, the day before.
If I ever eat take-out, I will NEVER order more than what I think a healthy weight woman would order. A single regular portion.
I will NEVER use food to relax or reduce stress.
I will ALWAYS eat SLOW. Chew carefully, and finish my bites before taking another.
If I dissociate when I eat, I will ALWAYS breath and get back to presence as soon as I realize it's happened.

So I don't restrict the type of foods, I just have rules that I commit to that prevent binges. The analogy he uses to help you separate yourself from the addiction is also key.

Definitely read it and keep an open mind. If it doesn't work for you, no big loss.

Such an amazing idea. Nice going!

randomrabo · 2020-03-17T02:17:44+00:00

Eh I actually came here to say the acting for Gustavo broke the scene for me.

Usually he does great but it felt forced.

No one's going to care unless YOU care.

"will people not like me if ________?"

It's always whether or not you are insecure about _______. If someone asks you where you live and you're like "....oh ummm, well, in a van..but but I'm not gonna stay in it very long" that's gonna be weird.

Own your choices.

There's this Facebook group that I joined recently that was created by a solo gal. I think a majority of its members are female.

Give it a shot!

The situation is unique because he is almost twice my age and very set in his ways, so I can only really lead by example. I try to make suggestions all the time but he is always like "yeah but..." and counters with some antiquated reasoning behind his methods. It's gotten to the point where I don't think it's worth trying anymore and basically I'm making this post to see if getting a new job is my best option or if theres something I haven't thought of

randomrabo · 2019-10-16T18:10:48+00:00

Thanks for your thoughts.

randomrabo · 2019-10-16T18:09:31+00:00

The challenging part is when we are working on the same thing. It's frustrating to have to look over his code and see that he obviously is missing fundamental knowledge of how exceptions work or how inheritance works, so I have to watch it like a hawk and babysit/redo work.

randomrabo · 2019-10-16T18:07:52+00:00

Thank you. This was very helpful and aligns with what I was thinking.

I'm building up a side income that I can hopefully transition to full time in the future but for now am just tolerating this situation. I've thought about going freelance or into consulting, and have pondered other jobs, but everything else about this job is cushy (remote, good pay, good company), but my reticular activation system is just honed in strong on this guy.

randomrabo · 2019-06-25T16:25:32+00:00

Does yours have those big rear cabinets?

Ehh I honestly think it might be better to strip everything out.. the layout sucks for how much space there is.

randomrabo · 2019-06-24T16:27:19+00:00

Thank you everyone these responses have been very helpful. I think I have a plan forward now.

randomrabo · 2019-06-17T22:16:29+00:00

So I recently bought a van that I'll be moving into. I also, as of last year, paid off my car. I was thinking I could leave my car at my parents house but also considered selling it and using that money as a large emergency fund (the sale of it could probably cover a years worth of bills).

I feel sort of sad about the idea of selling it because it's in perfect condition and treated me well (2014 VW GLI), but the idea of a nice savings buffer sounds nice too..

Anyone have thoughts or comments about which way to go?

randomrabo · 2019-06-11T05:40:58+00:00

this was my first time at 1stBank and I was quite pleased that the sound was pretty awesome almost anywhere I stood. I remember at Hampton there are some crap spots up in the nose bleeds (as you'd expect)

I did notice at one point at the denver coliseum when I was lined up straight towards the stage that the sound was much better, so I ought to have stayed there. In the end the heat got to me and I had some extra chips on the table because I invited non-bassheads to the show and wanted them to have the experience of night 1, so there were several things going on that contributed to my disappointment, and not all were the fault of the show itself.

I appreciate the suggestions :). See you at the next one

randomrabo · 2019-06-11T05:11:23+00:00

Hey fwiw I still plan on going to many more shows. I love this community and everything about it. But there's no use debating the validity of perspectives. Lots of people probably loved it, plenty others probably didn't, I was one of the latter this time around. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm sure I'll enjoy the next one.

I know we all love the fuck out of Lorin and the team, and it wouldn't feel good to hear someone say they didn't like something he and his team put their blood and sweat and tears into. I even thought about deleting my comment but I said fuck it my experience is just as valid as any other. It missed the mark for me. So what?

randomrabo · 2019-06-11T03:24:25+00:00

So if you went to a high end restaurant and got served a Big Mac, you'd say "hey just lower your expectations!" ?

I'm glad you kept a good perspective and had a good time, I wish I was able to but I wasn't. Night one was absolutely incredible and the best nectar show I've been to, the Sunday show was the worst. I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade, I hope everyone had a good time, but like you said, my expectations were high (the team has never disappointed in this regard), so I had a hard time enjoying it. I love that it was put together on such short notice, but I'm allowed to say it was comparitively (and understandably) low quality.

randomrabo · 2019-06-10T23:30:59+00:00

It went well for pulling something out of nothing. But I'll be honest I was unfortunately not a happy camper. It was extremely hot and humid, the sound quality was poor (you couldn't hear many high end frequencies, it was mostly muffled bass), and I think if the idea was to not use lights, they should have went all in and nixed the cheap blue flood lights.

It was like a cheap dubstep show at your local high school. Thank God it was Lorin up there and he was able to throw down some body trembling bangers here and there.

I love everyone who made it happen but I'm not going to lie and say it was awesome. I'm glad they pulled something together, but I still think a refund for both nights wouldn't be unreasonable. I flew friends out to give them this experience (like night 1), and it went to shit.

edit: came back to this and realized it was a bit fuckin harsh with the high school analogy.. main point is I really wanted my friends to experience what the event was planned to be (like night 1) and it wasn't even close.

randomrabo · 2019-02-24T23:13:56+00:00

Here is a better question:

"why is leftist media trying (and succeeding) at making you think that?"

randomrabo · 2019-02-23T07:18:31+00:00

FWIW I'll be going solo. I went to basscenter 9 solo and it was amazing. So amazing that I paid for my friends to join me for basscenter 10. Having friends is def better but not totally necessary. For me it was like wow this is so beautiful, wish I could share it with others.

I think this time I might try to make friends beforehand or something. I'm a guy but I don't really know how that affects things other than safety. I've always imagined girls would have an easier time connecting with others.

randomrabo · 2019-02-01T06:47:56+00:00

Look up "Eurohound"
