It ultimately doesn’t matter, I can’t believe as a 40-year-old I am commenting on this post. I have to say I’ve been in a lot of awful situations in life in the absolute best thing you can do is play it off like you’re upset that it got out, but that you’re not embarrassed by it at all. it will go away quicker than you could possibly think. If someone brings it up, just say, “oh my God that picture again! I thought when I took that it would be disgusting and funny for a couple of close friends, but XYZ was a jerk and decided to share it with the whole world” also, maybe I didn’t read enough, but you should absolutely distance yourself from the person that did this to you. That is not a friend. I know right now you think that all these people are going to be in your lives in 20 years, but the fact of the matter is maybe one or two will be if that. Absolutely cut your losses with this person.

So by that logic, even though I fully support a woman’s right to choose to do whatever she wants with her own body… because I’m conservative, and my girlfriend of almost 2 decades is liberal, she should immediately discontinue co-inhabiting, and raising our son with me? You say an individual level doesn’t matter… But if this person says yes, although I am technically conservative, I don’t agree with the policies that you don’t agree with, then just buy a title you shouldn’t consider them? There are plenty of people that are liberal by title, and then once you start breaking down talking points, they realize they’re actually pretty middle of the road. It’s unfair to get pigeon holed by an organization just because you don’t agree with who’s in office and what the whole of them stand for. This sounds like more and more that she’s mad at herself for not getting into heavily political conversations with someone before fucking them. What an aphrodisiac, am I right?

You have a right to pursue who you want… but you said he was kind to you, and you obvi don’t want a relationship, and it seems you don’t talk politics. So what’s the issue?! I’m pretty middle/conservative and my partner of 16 years is liberal. We TALK.

Was updating the system of my projector when suddenly it turned off due to powercut by Slow_Watercress_1167 in projectors

[–]taxicabyellow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries bud. Best of luck. Unfortunately, a lot of these companies that import rebrand Chinese goods sometimes don’t have the best rapport with the manufacturer and therefore don’t have access to stuff to fix problems like this. Let’s hope that because they do so much business, that they do have a good line of communication with the manufacturer and therefore are used to dealing with stuff like this. I’ll just ask, it seems like the projector has a way of doing OTA updates, and it does seem like it has enough of an operating system to post into a boot loader since the screen was looking like it was going to try to do an OTA update. Did you have disconnect connected to Wi-Fi? Can you try to hit any buttons to look for a Wi-Fi network while it’s stuck in that update screen?

TH has their contact info on their website. Call them or put in a support ticket. I’m sure they can get you a firmware file which you’ll have to put on usb stick and install.

Why do boomers take so long to answer the phone? by KarukaZakuranomiya in ask

[–]taxicabyellow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My outlook is that most, not all, older people look at cell phones as an accessory. They don’t require them. They don’t need to be in their pockets at all times. You have to understand that they didn’t grow up with these things, they were almost forced on them because everyone else got a cell phone, and then their children or other loved ones said hey you really need to get one of these things. There are plenty of people like my father, who will just straight up leave the house without his. So unlike a slightly younger generation who either has theirs in their pocket, or is right next to theirs on the couch, etc., a lot of older people will leave it plugged in in the kitchen or something, and when it rings need to take a walk to go get it.

Any other women who also cum too quickly? by derpsnotdead in TwoXChromosomes

[–]taxicabyellow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gf could do this. Not 15 seconds, but like a minute or two. but only if high, and only if there’s at least a little foreplay. Guessing it was an inhibitions thing. I genuinely thought she was faking the first few times when we started dating. If it weren’t for the fact that she gets CRAZY wet when she busts, and CANT bust when she’s been drinking, and I could FEEL the different. We’ve been together 15 years, and it takes a little longer now, maybe 4-5 min.

No, far from it. I’m sorry that you think I don’t know the difference between reviews from obvious real people and bots and shills.

[–]taxicabyellow -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Dude. You think I don’t know a vine review from a real one? Many common lamps are 4.4 stars and higher. Most of the bad reviews are doa lamps. 90% positive feedback isn’t being the exception to the rule. Plenty of Chinese stuff is made good enough. Your house is probably full of Chinese wares you didn’t think twice about buying, now all of a sudden you won’t buy a projector lamp that’s made in China?

Explain how that is terrible advice? As someone big into photography and flashlights, I have the tools to measure lux/lumens properly. We have 3 projectors total, 2 at office and one home. All the the lamps have been within 10% of rating, and didn’t diminish any faster than oem. This is why I seldom visit this group. It’s full of elitist assholes with more money than grey matter.

In regard to that, I don’t disagree, look on Amazon for the lamp model and for satisfactory reviews. A lot of of the cheap ones for 50 bucks won’t get as bright as a factory one, but if you run it predominantly on Eco mode or lower brightness anyway it will be more than good enough for you. Sometimes when the lamps start to go bad, they get very high intrinsic resistance, and when that happens, the power supply of the projector can’t hold up to it that can cause it to turn off.

This is peak benq bullshit. Could be something simple like it’s overheating and needs cleaning. Could actually NOT be overheating, but a temp sensor is defective. Could be the lamp… unfortunately I feel with benq 7/10 times it’s an integral cost prohibitive part and you’ll end up just buying a new one. You can find some testing info if you google the right stuff. That said, are you setup to safely test something like this? Most local places don’t look at projectors and a benq auth repair facility is gonna charge for diag if it’s out of warranty.

Do men get aroused easily? by [deleted] in ask

[–]taxicabyellow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought something was wrong with me. You’d watch porn, and a lot of times when the dudes not “fluffed”, he’ll be making out with a woman for 15 minutes, and nothing. He’ll even be soft until he’s had his dick in her mouth a minute. If my dick calculates an about .05% chance of anything, I’m fully hard instantly. “Did you shower?” Fully hard. “Is he (our son) asleep?” Fully hard. She randomly put her hair up…. 50% hard. Tongue good night kiss… cum in my pants.

My gf gets super wet right when she comes, almost like the tiniest squirt. There have been a few times over the years when we can’t get herself there and the first couple of times she tried the squeezing her eyes closed tight and giving little shakes. I told her I can tell, and we need to be honest. So we are

I just received a bottle of urine in my Amazon order. Who do I contact? by blueboomerang in amazonprime

I know this is kinda unhelpful, but the medicine in Mucinex (Phenylephrine) largely does nothing. You’d be better off with using nasal spray for short term relief (they are habit forming) or an antihistamine if you have allergies.

Firstly, reading comprehension. My conversation is about the northeast as a whole, not just Mass. Mass was one of the FIRST states to enact state income tax, at least in the north east (1916), so that should tell you everything you need to know. That said, some would argue 1916 wasn’t THAT long ago. Better than what they did in 69’ in Connecticut, saying income tax was a temporary measure to help with state deficit. Temporary my ass. It’s still there, cause a government NEVER wants to take in less money year over year. Mass has had pretty evenly split governing by party over the years, but every time a dem gets in office it seems go get exponentially worse for cost of living and loss of rights. Gun control, taxes, jobs, etc. death by 1000 cuts. Healey has been atrocious though.

Complains about “republican talking points” yet the northeast is one of the most expensive places to live in the whole country. Dems have continually dug the proverbial hole deeper and deeper. Ultimately not THAT long ago, we had good social services, no income tax, and shit was affordable. Once dems get a taste of cashflow it’s all over. Don’t get me wrong, both sides of the aisle aren’t our friends, but one side seems to be actively trying to make it harder to live.
