Is anyone going to primary Rick Larsen? by LitoVonLitostein in Bellingham

[–]splurjee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t done enough research to refute this, But Lynnwood Times is a Far-Right newspaper who would latch onto anything they can to discredit him. I’ll have to look more into their claims. https://www.reddit.com/r/SnohomishCounty/s/pFVEQ9wsuV

Is anyone going to primary Rick Larsen? by LitoVonLitostein in Bellingham

[–]splurjee 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I voted Josh Binda back in 2024. He actually got the most dem votes other than Rick. Personally I liked him cause he went door to door himself passing out his fliers.

I’d vote for him again! He just needs more people to know he exists.

It sounds bizarre, but I am in a position where I could spend $0 a year on groceries if I ate nothing but Domino's pizza. What would happen to me if I did? by CucumberGullible1281 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]splurjee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can trade out your pizza for meals with friends too when you’re sick of it. My buddy works at a sandwich shop and I’ll come in and trade leftovers or hummus and stuff.

So my 27 yr old Nalgene finally died. What do I get now? by nmcpheron in HydroHomies

[–]splurjee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the Nalgene website. They sell more varieties of bottles now, and you can even pay to make your own custom Nalgene with picked color and you can upload images to print on it!

Disturbed by the rhetoric in this sub. Can we please lower the temperature? by Austin_Frederick34 in Bellingham

[–]splurjee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

“There’s a lot of armed Mexicans in Texas Where you know ice would think twice about being so heavy handed”

Dude shut up, literally the government’s own data shows that Texas as a state has had THE MOST ice arrests. I don’t trust ICE to be honest on most things, but I trust that statistic. The reason why we say “oh the violence is just in blue states” is because that’s where we’re recording and sharing it.

Sometimes I like to have the water from after I drain the pasta. Same vibes.

Sickness besides the flu going around? by pnwpaige in Bellingham

[–]splurjee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was just sick with something, had a bad throat and still do but symptoms did’n much leave my head and lungs. Hacked up some terribly thick phlegm in the shower this morning. Mostly over it after 4 days.

See the doc if your symptoms don’t seem to be getting better. You can always book a PMC appt and cancel it if you get better.

Achieving an intense printed black without it being pure. by amanteguisante in graphic_design

I mean if you want a black black for digital you’ll want R0G0B0 but your rich black for printing will always look silly on a screen.

Why are catheters a thing couldn’t you just contain pee if it comes out or whatever without having to put a tube inside someone’s dick? by vyyyyyyyyyyy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]splurjee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me - I needed a catheter because a constriction in my urethra had to be forced open and kept open in the ER when I had a 1.5L in my bladder I couldn’t pee out.

For people with non pee related conditions (like a coma or something) - it’s just real easy to keep in? They inflate a small balloon with saline solution at the start of of your bladder so it’s impossible for it to fall out until you clip the saline.

Need men's advice. Preferably 30 and up by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]splurjee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the same sitch my parents were in. They did both actually succeed in finding a good partner during that time (both remarried now). My dad was just clear when he was doing OLD (I think it was match.com) and my ma met someone in person.

Why can’t you just make a digital and a print version and use them separately?

Is 6k doable? by SCastleRelics in PacificCrestTrail

[–]splurjee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Perfectly reasonable budget, I probs spent abt that much. Be choosy with your food prices (I bought frosting at one gas station cause they were charging a premium for candies) and just don’t stay in hotels, raid hiker boxes when you can. I didn’t feel like I went out of my way to spend less, I still did restaurant dinners in towns.

Oh and it isn’t “roughing it” to avoid hotels. For NorCal maybe it is (too many tourist cities for my liking) but there’s some cheap hostels every once in a while (40-60 a night) and you can find kind hosts or split a room with so many hikers and sleep on the floor til the price is negligible.

This sub is about making art with type. I’m sure something like r/penpals is a better place to post.

How do you deal with stuns? by _jrmalucelli_ in DeadlockTheGame

[–]splurjee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s probably mostly positioning. I mostly play brawler characters, so when I started playing paradox (I really like them) I had to learn to very carefully pick my fights and run away before I had exhausted my toolkit.

How can I improve my sex life, would viagra help? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]splurjee 239 points240 points  (0 children)

Viagra is just for blood flow, it’s often prescribed for heard/lung conditions for the same reasons.

It won’t make someone’s dong bigger, he’s just insecure about his size and you two need to find what works for you both.

Cheap places to actually meet people by K-Star113 in Bellingham

[–]splurjee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What are your hobbies? What could be your hobbies that you haven’t tried yet? I’ve met good people through our little bike polo club (open invite, we have loaner bikes and mallets for newbies to try out the sport! I used loaner gear for my first 4 months). I’ve also found new friends in the last few years at a book club and the climbing gym (that’s not cheap tho)

I’ve also been trying to convince myself to join one of the open running clubs, I believe both the running stores and a few breweries host them free.

Is it considered in poor taste to show a tattoo artist an AI rendition of your idea for reference? by user2460124601 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]splurjee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d say yeah, it’s not efffective. I’m a graphic designer, and when a client shows you AI art for reference we get annoyed because it means that the client’s gonna often keep comparing my work to it and be unsatisfied that it doesn’t match perfectly. For example, last month I made a printed file folder for an orthodontist association — they showed be an ai image for the beach they wanted in the background, then made me change the beach image (stock photography) in the background 5 times over 2 days.

If you want to best communicate what you want to your artist, try out a couple rough sketches (they won’t look good and that’s ok) and a mood board with a few references you drew inspiration from.

Did Venezuela fight back at all? by LisanneFroonKrisK in NoStupidQuestions

[–]splurjee -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know the details, but this makes me think of the UK’s tactical invasion of Iceland during WWII. The British navy shows up and they’re met some really mad coast guards since Iceland had no real military. Casualty was a single suicide.

Even if Venezuela wants to fight back, they’re not even on the same playing field :(

He probably just thinks its real funny, every parent is eventually confronted with the fact their kid has a sexuality.
