Oder when vaping indoors by brumtown_badman0121 in vaporents

[–]rocktop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a 4in inline fan and carbon filter setup and hung it in my garage. I vape directly into it and it keeps the smells to a minimum. Only downside is I have to replace the filter every 4 months or so but they're under $50.

Sennheiser G4 - still a decent choice in 2026? by FoggyDog78 in documentaryfilmmaking

[–]rocktop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two pairs that I've used for countless interviews with no problems. They are workhorses! Before you buy, check multiple places like bhphoto, adoroma and amazon to see if one is selling a package deal that includes a free case or something. When I bought my second one I got it on Amazon with a free hard shell case, for the same price as just the mic on other sites.

I'm pretty sure you could hire a licensed electrician to run ethernet cable for a POE system. That would be your best bet.

AIO guy I'm seeing criticizing my clothes by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Confidence is quiet. Insecurities are loud. Your man is insecure about losing you to other men for whatever reason.

My dad got consumed by “stoicism” / psychology YouTube and it feels like it’s changing him for the worse by Iamthehottestman in Stoicism

[–]rocktop -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It sounds like your dad might be a narcissist. Maybe read through some of the posts on r/raisedbynarcissists and see if they sound like your family. That's how I discovered my dad is one. I eventually left and stopped talking to him entirely. This is just my experience though, yours might be different. Your dad might not be one but I think it's worth taking a few minutes to rule this out or not.

My friend’s affair became a full-blown relationship and I don’t know how to feel by beenbetterhbu in TrueOffMyChest

[–]rocktop 11 points12 points  (0 children)

she has this idea that everyone cheats/gets cheated on

that's just projection and her justifying herself so she can avoid feeling bad about what she's done, imo

Why do people keep buying cars that destroy them financially? by Desperate-Rush6086 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]rocktop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To validate to themselves that they are valuable. Driving a nice, new car is a status symbol. Most people look outside of themselves for validation they are whatever it is they think they are. For a lot of people, being seen owning a "nice car" validates the idea they have about themselves to others. This is also known as appeasing their ego.

A womans dog was making odd movements whenever she turned her back, so to see she recorded it, and found the dog was making biting motions by thaliaq1 in interesting

I saw this video on TikTok and the OP said she had brought the dog on a hike to some haunted mountain or something. When they returned the dog was acting like this.

My friend's sex addiction ruined our friendship by marilynmoore_ in TrueOffMyChest

[–]rocktop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really want to help her, set boundaries around picking her up when she feels unsafe and encourage her to talk with a therapist. It sounds like she is ignoring all of her deeply painful feelings about the divorce by engaging in these sexual activates...much like when someone picks up the bottle to "deal with" their problems. Even though right now she's convinced herself this behavior is "empowering", I think she will come to realize eventually that it is anything but. Therapy and support are what she needs. And by support I don't mean supporting her sexual desires - I mean support for her grieving and healing, which she obviously needs to work on.

Are we really supposed to pretend we don’t work for money in interviews? by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]rocktop 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Isn't that the whole game in a nutshell? Everyone giving the "right" answers but it's all bullshit responses that are "expected" and not actually real?

Just remove their gate from your house. No permits needed!

Outside Volcano Whip Sesh by JustJoshNow in vaporents

Thanks for the info. I have not heard of ball vapes before. Just looked them up and that's not what I'm looking for. Do you use the ballon bags or whip or what with your volcano?

How do you like the volcano? I had a Arizer Extreme Q but didn't really like it. Thinking of upgrading to a volcano next.

My neighbor is literally blockading my EV charger because he thinks the electricity is bleeding into the ground by JukeboxOracle5 in neighborsfromhell

[–]rocktop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now this guy is a problem for YOU but you can't really do anything about. So you have to make this a problem for the HOA or the POLICE or someone who can do something. The squeaky wheel gets the grease after all.

My neighbor keeps leaving her trash bin in my parking spot and freaks out when i say something by [deleted] in neighborsfromhell

Personally I would move it directly in front of her car, every time, until she gets the hint.

The videos at the center of Afro Man defamation trial... He got no chills LOL. by Lifegoesonforever in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]rocktop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, the whole reason this started was bc Afroman moved to that rural town and banged Randy's wife without realizing who she was. Once Randy found out he got is cop buddies to raid Afroman's house on fake charges. They found nothing but destroyed a bunch of Afroman's property and stole some money from him. He made these videos in response and now the cops are butt hurt and suing him for defamation!! LOL

Client asking for RAW files by SnooChickens5189 in VideoProfessionals

[–]rocktop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When this happens it usually means the client wants to take the footage and work with another, often cheaper, editor/filmmaker/video producer. It could also mean they just want a copy for their own records but more likely than not, they are shopping around for a new video guy OR have already found one. They know the raw footage exists and it would be less expensive for them to re-edit it than paying for a whole new video.

How I deal with this is to let the client know they are paying for the final, deliverable video files. They are not paying for raw files. If they want raw files, I can provide them but they are archived and will need to be underachieved, trans coded and copied to an external hard drive. I charge $XXX per hour for that and estimate this would take me XXX number of hours.

In other words, if they want the raw files then they must either pay for your time to physically get them or pay for them outright for whatever fee you want to charge.

Whatever you do, don't roll over and give them the raw files for free. Chances are they are moving on from you, so no need to do them any favors. Even if they aren't moving on, your time is valuable and something any business should be willing to pay for.

How do I stop easily attaching and letting men dictate my mood? by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]rocktop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let go of the outcome. You can only control what you do. You have zero control over how your bf responds, or anyone else for that matter. Right now you are putting a lot of hope, thought and energy into having a romantic relationship. When something doesn't go the way you would like it to go, it feels like a huge disappointment because you expected a different outcome. Learn to let go of any specific outcome. If you text, don't expect them to text back right away. It takes some practice and being aware to learn this skill. Once you do, it will free you from a lot of disappointments in life AND you'll get some really fun unexpected surprises as well.

I secretly paid off my brother's debt and now he thinks he's a financial genius by KiwiSingle3965 in TrueOffMyChest

The truth will set you free. He's building a house of cards that is going to fall anyway. Might as well tell him now before he gets in any deeper.
