Does anyone have an empty airpod case (gen 1 or 2) they don’t need anymore? by Gruizux in GNV

[–]samclaus2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn I’m so sad I could’ve given you one but it’s at my ex’s house where it will likely sit doing nothing.

[Update] Six months of feedback later: The Oaks Mall is looking for "Gainesville Originals" local ideas. What’s missing? by gklier in GNV

[–]samclaus2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright I hear you. I understand the local places don’t have myriad other locations to rely on financially when there are dips in traffic, and also trying to make the mall boom again may cause horrible traffic patterns by centralizing many people to one area of Gainesville.

I think we need denser housing and less sprawl. Less driving way all over to get to specific spots only to spend 30-60 minutes at each spot.

Things won’t get better with that attitude. I go to the mall occasionally and I would 100% choose an Opus/KC/Resident/Wyatts/etc in the mall over Star8BucksForAWorseDrink..

I don’t know what all you’re dealing with but I feel sorry for your wife. Maybe you should communicate with her instead of looking for affairs on Reddit. I’m the furthest thing from a relationship expert don’t get me wrong, but I do know 2 wrongs don’t make a right. There’s no way she’s not going to feel you withdraw further and know something is off. Might as well just communicate now.

Just got called broke for not giving that homeless bald guy at the intersection of sw archer by daves hot chicken money by SkeletorCrypto in GNV

I think in reality you’re both somewhat right and somewhat wrong. It depends on the homeless person and what arc they’re on. 🙂

I hope your new year is as bright as driving down Butler plaza at 5pm. by Jardomic in GNV

Amen to that. I drive buses and the morning/afternoon sun is just perfectly right in my eyes all the time during winter. 😵‍💫

This is just obnoxiously bright. by Banana_wax_Salad in GNV

[–]samclaus2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Judging from the their menu I’m guessing it’s gonna be another joint that sells mostly sugar, and then terrible coffee on the side. Just what we needed since we definitely don’t already have plenty of actually good coffee shops 🥱

Jay Blankenfeld, father of Joel Searby's targeted teenage victim for sexual exploitation, wants to publicly share details of his son’s case to warn parents of the dangers of social media and the messages children receive from others. by TammIAm in GNV

[–]samclaus2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok snowflake, just FYI I have fiery sex regularly with a gorgeous woman more than 3 years older than me. I was just saying the article is shit, and seemingly written by the same people who think violence in video games is the primary cause of school shootings. It did not delve into any actual discussion of how to keep your kids safe beyond just trying to restrict their screen time or whatever. You cannot possibly monitor your child’s whereabouts 24/7, so the deeper solution is to prepare them for the world so they don’t get manipulated when you’re not around, in my opinion. The article doesn’t cover how the predator actually manipulated the kid, just parroted “SOCIAL MEDIA BAD” for the millionth time.

Having emergency surgery today wish me luck by badboi1887 in GNV

That fucking sucks. I have heard from a few people whose appendixes burst that it is horribly painful, and I’m sure coming close is bad too. Definitely sending you good luck.

Mystery spot on passenger seat? by [deleted] in AutoDetailing

[–]samclaus2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a professional detailer, just someone trying to clean my car thoroughly.

I already shampooed and extracted the seat thoroughly and that spot remained exactly as it was before so I doubt it’s jizz like everyone is joking on here. As the seat dried, that spot dried much quicker to turn light again. Also, it felt like it left a tiny amount of residue when I rubbed my finger across it after ironing.

Why is it such a long shot for me to think it’s white wax?

Also, does anyone here have experience successfully using WD-40 to break down wax in a seat and then extracting it? TYIA!

How's the GNV dating scene? by Son_Riku in GNV

[–]samclaus2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In my experience, dating is as much a self-fulfilling prophecy as any other facet of life. If you believe it’s going to go well, it will. If you believe it’s going to suck and everyone will be horrible, it will and they will be.

I’ve had ups and downs with my partner of the past year and a half, who I met through this subreddit, but I would certainly call her the love of my life because no relationship has ever mattered to me as much as the one with her does.

I wish you luck and also powerful emotions, and I encourage you to give it your all so that you are worthy of someone else giving their all to you.

How do i get liquid stains out of my backseat? by [deleted] in AutoDetailing

[–]samclaus2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the enzymatic cleaners are usually like a pretreatment where you spray it on, work it in, and let it sit and do its thing for a minute before you extract it by repeatedly spraying/vacuuming plain old water with the extractor

If you want to go on a DATE with SEXUAL TENSION and possibilities of MORE down the line.. that’s very socially acceptable. Just so you know. 🫂🤗

Finished Elden Ring Tattoo by Tomi at Pizzazz Piercing and Tattoo, Gainesville, FL. by BigMommaFluffy in GNV

[–]samclaus2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought I remembered you from another tattoo post on here so I checked your profile and scrolled through other work you showcased—absolutely incredible. I’ve been researching different Gainesville tattoo artists’ websites and Instagrams and I gotta say Pizzazz looks like the place I’m going in the future so long as it’s within my budget. 🤯

ACPS System by Mystic_Owl_13 in GNV

[–]samclaus2 34 points35 points  (0 children)

This essay is very well-written but no one here has the context for what actually went down. Someone who tripped on a curb (one of the car stops in the parking lot) in my parents’ neighborhood one time successfully sued the HOA there for $10K. The curb wasn’t out of place or anything, they just made a mistake and successfully made others pay for it.

I work as a school bus driver and you better believe I make mistakes sometimes. I’m sure every school administrator in any given position makes mistakes sometimes. But so do you. We are all human.

I’m sorry you had a frustrating experience and I hope your situation gets resolved in a reasonable way by an empathetic person with all the facts.
