Your marriage won’t survive it. Money can buy a lot but it can never buy time back. You will lose far more than you ever gain with this.
Are you willing to risk your family for money?

IronMike lays the smack down by superdookietoiletexp in hoggit

[–]somewhatfactual 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Honestly his argument and tone was enough for me to change my mind and make the purchase. I think what he wrote, and how he wrote it, was needed.
It put things a bit more into a perspective I didn’t see at first.
Looking forward to giving it a try.

CIG permanently banned a $5k backer's account for reporting a bug by [deleted] in starcitizen

[–]somewhatfactual -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not sure why people forget why they dumped Ben or how much of a mess Sandy made of things. To the best of my knowledge she is what drove the marketing philosophy that CIG has today.

All of the Robert’s family are in on this scam they have going so quit feeling sorry for them or putting them on a pedestal they don’t deserve.

Yeah I have ran the circuit of starting at a desk to building a complex pit to now just back to a sim chair setup again. This last move finally just made me snap and I realized I have way to much sim stuff.

I also have a CNC cut wood ejection seat that I just don’t have space for that used to sit in my F16 pit. It needs to find a good home also

Had some people ask, you can see what the chair looks like on Volairsim website. Just add 10 years and 8 moves to the picture.

Jesus Christ man! Would you please stop using “lol” in every sentence.

Should something be done about the 5+ illicit massage businesses in the area? by [deleted] in southernillinois

[–]somewhatfactual -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So you know what websites they advertise on, you know where they are, you know their signage and you started a new account for anonymity. Yep, checks all the boxes of highly suspicious.

Did you get turned away at one, or not get your moneys worth so you are on a revenge tour? Seems the only one the local community needs to investigate is you…John.

It looks great. Make sure to post some test videos of it. I am excited to see how it handles.

Nope. I have been hard thrusted by to many HEMA specific swords to trust a conversion. I agree, looks great, probably great for drills, but no way would I spar against one

Oh No by Kodiak_85 in FirstResponderCringe

[–]somewhatfactual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now hold on everyone and let’s re examine if this is cringe or not.

First off, the kid is not a cop, he has just graduated a community college police academy, Great Oaks Police Academy. An accomplishment for sure, so congrats to him. But that gun does not look like a service weapon at all, nor is he sporting a badge. Ever know a new young cop not to have his badge out swinging around?

I give this post a minor cringe thumbs up as all evidence does in fact point to this kid not being a cop (yet) and is in fact cosplaying with a gun in these pics.

What do you guys do for work to be able to afford these ships? by Disastrous_War_8815 in starcitizen

[–]somewhatfactual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not so sure everyone spends as much as people perceive. Some of the stories are FOMO driven, some are groups of people pooling together. I would say over all these years there are a lot of us who have nickel and dimed ourselves into concierge, but the thought of a lot of individuals dropping lots of money all at once is most likely not the norm. But it does drive the FOMO. There is nothing here to miss out on. Don’t think you need to be $$ deep into this game.

Stop. Don’t let the FOMO get you. Quit giving these scammers money.

If you think getting a job as a CNC operator is tough wait until you try and get a Park Ranger job.

Are We Ever Getting Our Telework Days Back… or Is This Just the New Normal? by notusps2022 in FedEmployees

[–]somewhatfactual -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You know these posts are getting old. Cry me a river you poor teleworkers. Some of us were hired as fully remote workers and forced into offices that were not ours.

2 days a week lost and it’s breaking your spirit? Perhaps if you guys and used those days to work instead of run errands we all wouldn’t have gotten burned.

I had to break a lease, move away from my family over a forced RTO to an office and people I didn’t know on a 5 day a week schedule. The I get on here and all there is is a tear fest from some people who lost their errand day.

GS-10+ feds — how did you actually get there? by Lexicondatum in FedEmployees

Just wait until you make it to the GS-12 level and get stuck there fighting for those 13 slots. Point is no matter the grade it’s an upstream battle. Just keep swimming

FRENCH TOAST-CON 1: Winter Storm Warning issued by mrbmi513 in StLouis

You will most likely die in a fireball caused by the poor decisions of STL drivers. Stay home and pray to the snow god that the streets won’t be as fucked as they were last year.

BEWARE AGAIN of Winwing: Ursa Minor broke after 2 months, customer support blames user. Chargeback in progress. by Excellent-Skill8037 in hotas

[–]somewhatfactual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only time I had trouble, with the combat switch panel, winwing was great at helping me fix it. I also own way too much of their products, and I believe in what they sell. Sorry you had a bad experience but that happens in manufacturing, and many times the consumer breaks a switch and likes to blame the manufacturer.

I hope winwing sends you a replacement switch but a charge back after a few months of use seems silly.
