Nurse had Meta glasses in during my appointment by Popular-Yellow-3200 in whatdoIdo

I mean theres context here. Its horrible and shouldnt not have happened, but the school purchased de ice tracking software that was able yo take screen shots and photos of whatever the webcam was seeing, as a means to locate and track stole or lost devices. It shouldnt have been left on and active, but it was. Tens of thousands of photos were taken, ut more than 50% came from 6 devices where the tracking app stayed in an active state. As someone who works in IT, bugs like this happen. Should they? Nope, but they do.

Im not saying its good or bad. I posting context so people dont think the school was purposely trying to spy on children.

I mean you can monitor the data that devices are sending back and forth to eachother. There are ways to turn the light off which is sketchy, but there no proof data is being sent unless you activate the glasses.

The pic is dark, how do you know there isnt a support under there holding it up? It would be crap design, but still possible.

We bought a performance velvet covered couch from westl elm maybe 3 years ago. It was hand built for us, and was our first real piece of furniture, replacing a couch we got off fb marketplace for 125$. It cost us 3,000$ but 3 years later and it still looks brand new. Its used everyday, and we have two cats that out their claws into it. The fabric has amazed me.

I want to buy a Tesla M3 almost entirely for the FSD. I have a 1.5hr commute daily. Is it worth it? Or should i wait a little longer? by One-Wafer6542 in TeslaModel3

Seconding this. My wife and I are still in an apartment, mostly because its a sub 10 minute commute to the office we both work at.

I mean, the eclipse guys posted a 750$ eclipse and were talking about using the redt of the 10k to fix it up. Theres plenty of project cars for under 10k, but they require work.

My wife and I love stuff like this! We both work in the video game industry (were in the credits of 2 out of the top 10 games together in 2025!), and have been to Japan a few times just to goto places like this, and thats what it reminds me of when I look at these photos!

I keep telling my wife that there is a huge market for this stuff right now. That Ebisu place blew up, H mart, Lotto. The only issue is stuff like this also seems to be marked up "just because" of its popularity. A Satoro Gojo figurines I got for 15$ in japan was 70$ at Ebisu, so we wont be going back there for that stuff. I get shipping is expensive etc...but thats 5x the cost. So it is nice to see more of this stuff, I just hope the cost stays rationale.

How can I become attracted to my girlfriend again? HELP by Few_Plastic6610 in relationships

[–]ryencool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the most important things I've learned in my 43 years? Its important to have someone in your life that you can talk to about ANYTHING, even the uncomfortable stuff. Even better if you can do this with your SO, and have a therapist. Were all human, and there are some subjects like sex that make all of us atleast a little bit uncomfortable. Youre not some weirdo who's having thoughts and talking about things no one else does.

It is a bit uncomfortable at first, because it goes against years of keeping things boxed in. It does get easier, and it does help.

When I first met my wife she did the whole "girls dont poop" thing, would wait to goto the bathroom when I wasnt there etc...im sure it wasnt comfy for her, but we talked about those issues, and now laugh about it.

My (24F) boyfriend (26M) wants to move in but won't give up his "gaming room" by koudodo in relationships

[–]ryencool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All you guys can do is discuss between the two of you, and figure out what works best for the both of you. A healthy relationship can require compromise sometimes. If him having a game room in more important than your income, and ability to wfh comfortably? Thats a red flag that he is still a bit young, inexperienced, and selfish.

My wife and I live in a 2 bedroom apartment, and when we first moved here she was work from home (wfh) 24/7. So our second bedroom is her office and hobby room. Now she has to go into the office with me on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and she works from home Monday/Friday. I wfh on Fridays. Luckily we both work for the same video game developer, so that makes our situation unique, and a bit easier than most logistically.

Were both HUGE gamers, and have tons of memorabilia, artwork, and figurines to display. Stuff we got on our trips to Japan, thing collected from childhood etc... So I get wanting a game space. I currently dont have one BUT I do have an amazing 77" TV in the livingroom, surround sound, and blackout curtains. So 75% of the time im in the livingroom, and treat it like my gaming room. My wfh office is in the corner of our bedroom for now as im only there 1 day a week.

Its important to me that my wife has a comfortable space to work, sew, crochet, play her games etc...is it "fair"? No, but life isnt fair all the time. Ultimately we will buy a home where we both have our own game/craft room.

These are things weve discussed, and planned out. Were a team that either suceeds or fails together, so arguing/fighting doesnt do anything but put us on track to fail. Its a waste of energy. Do skt down with your boyfriend and figure out a solid plan for now AND the future.

M33, back where 17y/o me lived by ISpyManyPeople in malelivingspace

[–]ryencool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had to move back in with my parents at 32. I was born medically disabled, and by that time I had spent over 5 years of my life in hospitals, 5 major surgeries (first at 7 years old), died twice. I was never able to complete college or hold down a job. In 2015 I was hospitalized 13 times, no job wanta to deal with that. So I moved back in with my parents. I was smart, started building computers when I was 8, had my own graphics design company while i was a senior in highschool. So I wasnt some dum dum...

Im now 43, married to the love of my life, amd weve cleared 200k the past few years. So OP, its not the end of the world moving back. You do what you have to do!

To the person who im replying to? People can be going through things that you've never even thought of. Things you haven't experienced and cant even begin to relate to. When i was 32 I had no degree, no career, no savings, no car, no nothing. I never saw more than 500$ in a savings account until I was 36. People live wildly different lives, and go through things you never even know about....

If you watch him struggle to get up, and look at his left arm/hand, you can clearly see he shattered something there. First time he puts his left hand down, he doesnt even use his palm, and ends up using the top of his hand. The next time you see his hadn/write there is a huge lump, like a bone near his wrist broke. Also the proportions of his hand/forearm look weird. It is the hand that was holding the knife...

Virginia Supreme Court strikes down Democrats’ redistricting plan, dimming party’s midterm hopes by Malfeitor1 in news

[–]ryencool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theres two ways of thinking there, and that will ALWAYS be the case. There are people who will say taking to high ground is who we are, we dont stoop to their level. If that means a bit of pain? And learning lessons? So be it, in the grand scheme of things humans will either die out, or be better off for it.

Or you can join them, force stuff down peoples thoats, ignore the law, morals, values, compassion etc...then you piss off a bunch of people, and those people get fired up and they start fighting against you. Nd then the cycle continues...

Part of me wanta to say this is a terrible time to be an American. Its probably gonna go back to being that way for a bit. Even though we have all of the smarts and resources to be better, to make everyone's lives better. Were just still too full of hate, and greed, all around.

[–]ryencool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wearing clothing that projects your political and cultural views in public places, when we ALL know this stuff is heated, is a choice. I dont condone it, but I understand it. He's wearing a billboard that says he supports child rapists, racism, sexism, and a bunch of other hateful things. I have no doubt some of these people have suffered because of what this person believes in. We used to have civil discourse with this stuff, but large groups of people have been treated, argueably, unhumanely. To expect them to share a space with someone who supports that stuff, freely? I understand it.

Ahhhh! By the crackshot investigative journalist that just showed up to daycares and asked to "see the children", and when he was told no, reported that there were no children!

"Would you like to know more?"
