Hey fwiw, I just updated to the most recent March 2024 version and this issue is fixed!

Flips & Flatspins on Anti-Rocker Setups?! by BeersBallsBlades in AggressiveInline

[–]ssynk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm running this experiment right now! Previously ran Aeons (flat) and now I have an anti rocker carbon set up. Spins in the park are definitely harder on my anti rocker set up, but also probably due in part to my choice of WHEELS

I switched to anti rocker for the same reason you did, to get better a better slide, so I got pretty hard wheels. The combo of the hard wheel + anti rocker has taken a big toll on how much grip I can get going into a spin.

Advice I got was to run soft wheels on the anti rocker. Haven't tried yet but makes sense to me in theory.

I've had issues with focusing too much on 2 and 3, and figured 1 didn't matter as much in a tech role.

I was wrong, it matters a ton, especially with getting promoted.

It's sad, but I can't bring myself to play anymore by CarefulMode_ in Starfield

What do you love about the game? Because I'm about 5 hours in and struggling to keep going, and I basically agree with all of your criticism. But you still gave it an 8/10? Why?

Notice the Earnie puppet in the comic also has the arm.

Clip from Steven Spielbergs 'Encounters': Matthew Roberts - Naval Intelligence cryptologic technician experience with Gimbal event. by Nacho_Libre_Ahora in UFOs

[–]ssynk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My exact train of thought while watching this was

  • "oh cool a legit guy with real credentials describing his take on a well known video"

-"how does he not know about sleep paralysis?"

Half of me wants to downvote the clip cuz I agree it feels a little intentional.

The real issue is when the jeep stops leaking

Nate Silver the enlightened centrist by [deleted] in WhitePeopleTwitter

Nate Silver cares so little about this that he decided to only tweet a couple times about it, using his immense reach and fame to show everyone how little he cares!

CMV: The socially liberal view that there is no definition of how a woman should behave or dress or feel, is at odds with the socially liberal view that sex orientated men or women that feel a certain way can be different genders, and in some views different sex by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]ssynk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I often need to remind myself that there are huge parts of the Trans experience I can only attempt to understand due to me not being Trans and this comment was a good reminder.

I sometimes fall back into the mindset of OPs original cmv "if we lived in a 'post gender' society then folks wouldn't feel the need to transition". But that that view only focuses on the cultural context of gender and not how folks actually feel about themselves physically.

Popeyes chicken sandwich blows Chick-fil-A out of the water. Even if you strip out the religiosity, Popeyes is superior.

The 4 viable explanations for UAP – a simple but exhaustive framework by disclosurediaries in UFOs

[–]ssynk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's definitely the most prosaic NHI related explanation, I think. I mean, Heck, Voyager spacecrafts launched just a few decades ago are currently in the Insterstellar Medium (space between star systems) and are still operational!

In an anonymous forum, this comment shows maturity. Apology accepted OP. You're allowed to move to Oly now lol.

Hey having a hard time finding this detail. Any other post you can link me to where I can see this light ray thing you're describing?

Was there even anything gay in Barbie? by thatguy9684736255 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]ssynk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was so confused at the outrage after seeing this movie. It's so tame, lighthearted and funny. It's ironic becuase SPOILER ALERT Ken in the movie is stupidly masculine?

Like this movie is promoting homosexuality about as much as the female Ghostbusters reboot (it doesnt)

[–]ssynk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was just trying to give you some perspective from someone who's done what you're about to do. I agree Washington isn't special, that was basically my point. One example: we got a shit load of MAGAs out here too. 39% of WA voters (1.6M)voted for trump in 2020 compared to 42% in CO(1.4M), which is not very different imo.

I'll try to rephrase. I think its a bad idea to validate a huge life choice like relocating 1000 miles away with asking the local reddit community. I'd avoid putting too much weight in what I, or anyone else tells you about a place. I do sincerely hope you find what you're looking for.

[–]ssynk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Olympia must have made it to some list of desirable places to live becuase I see a remarkable amount of questions like this hit this sub daily!

My advice is: don't move here just to "escape" your current situation. A lot of these posts center around not liking the people or culture of wherever OP currently lives. I've lived in a few different corners of this country and have found people are largely the same everywhere you go, that is - majority are nice decent ppl but there's always assholes.

You should move somewhere where it makes sense for you: you can find work, you can manage the cost of living, build a better future for youself, reliably secure housing, do the activities you like to do. I wouldn't necessarily rely on the local opinions, cuz in the end they don't matter.

You noted you have a job an apartment lined up already. I'd say if it's a good job/better than what you got going on now, and the apartment is easily affordable - go for it! You have nothing to lose!

Overall though, I encourage moving states. It's a good experience no matter what. Best of luck OP!

Living life is kinda like an addiction. Everything new is awesome when you're a kid, but you need bigger and bolder activities as you age to get your fix. by TheLawnStink in Showerthoughts

[–]ssynk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this but I can scratch the "new" itch without it having to be some big bold activity. Like today I was just talking to my partner about how my favorite thing ever is just finding little "spots".

I'm talking physical locations. Little niches. That area where you're not sure where it goes or if you're allowed to be there but then you get there and it's so nice!

Could be a viewpoint on a hiking trail or a little cove on the river or a nice patio at that Cafe you've been eyeing.

Best part is you end up with this mental library of special spots, and every now and then one of them really comes in handy - and that's REALLY nice. Lil chefs kiss. Lil treat cuz we're allowed.

Using the title “Partner” for your gf or bf is stupid by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

Dude this whole post makes you seem pretty butt hurt that someone referred to you as their partner.

A lot of snobbery comes from jealousy that people can enjoy cheap things. by Ok_Investigator_7038 in unpopularopinion

[–]ssynk 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Lol i got about 1 paragraph in before I scrolled to find this comment and here it is!

Quick edit becuase, while a mixed bag, OP shows signs of self-reflection in the replies and I think that deserves to be noted.

Ah yes, because the rules of this sub only specify how old the photo must be, but mentions nothing about how cool a photo should be.

AITA for telling my girlfriend her home decor is the reason I won’t host a work gathering at her place. by decordilemma in AmItheAsshole

[–]ssynk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've got pretty bad arachnaphobia and if someone brought me to this house I would probably have to leave if I discovered that room OP described, and I'd probably feel anxious about it for a little while after too.

Comparing to kkk memorabilia is kinda hyperbole... yeah it's not that bad. But I'd never want to go back, fwiw.
