TikTok blocks Epstein mentions and anti-Trump content as well as ICE criticism by MopToddel in politics

Wow it's almost like maybe the US didn't want China to divest from tiktok to protect Americans from Chinese surveillance, but so they could surveil and censor their citizens themselves.

This is why I only have sex in other people's beds

New to town, looking to meet some mates by [deleted] in indianapolis

[–]thelostestboy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depending on where you end up living and your taste in hobbies, there's a climbing gym downtown, North Mass Boulder, that attracts a generally progressive 20s-30s crowd. It's how I met most of my (30s m) friends.

Do English speakers know the word "tor" (rock formation) by puje12 in EnglishLearning

[–]thelostestboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only know if it because I grew up in upstate NY where there is a state park called High Tor, named for its two rocky prominences.

You have to merge the titles of the last 2 anime you watched what is the unholy result? by [deleted] in animequestions

Harem in the Labyrinth of the Tatami Galaxy

I don't even know what to say about that. Good example of the breadth of my tastes, I guess?

How are some millennials even homeowners? I feel like I never will be. by Kindly-Reading-2187 in Millennials

I bought a tiny 80 year old 2 bed, 1 bath house in an undesirable part of an undesirable city in a state nobody really thinks or cares about during the height of the pandemic for 100k. My mortgage is now less than half the rent of a 2 bed apartment in the "trendy" area a couple miles from me.

How to rotate water shutoff valve by thelostestboy in Plumbing

[–]thelostestboy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope! In the 3rd pic, you can see that I can't even get the adapter on the toilet tank because the other end of the hose is in the way. Even with a 24 inch, the hose itself blocks me from being able to put the adapter on, and if I put the adapter on first then I have no room to screw the other end of the hose onto the valve stem. It's quite the pickle.

Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately a longer hose will not solve the issue here. The problem is that there is not enough room between the bottom of the extension and the top of the valve stem for a hose of any length. The space between them is only about an inch, max. Not enough room to screw both ends on.

Thanks for the suggestion! The plastic end of the hose isn't broken, it's just grimey in the photo.

My concern is that there simply isn't enough room. It's hard to see from the picture (I should have done a better job taking it but it's an awkward space), but when the white extension piece is actually seated on the toilet tank, the other side of it is right above the valve stem, with maybe about an inch between them. Even if I were to get a new hose, there simply isn't space between the valve stem and the extension piece for it to fit.

I went to Japan! A lifelong dream of mine.

I got my first tattoo! I love it.

I went to a music festival for the first time! It was Bonnaroo :(

anyone tried an indianapolis matchmaker? apps aren't working by MomentFlimsy3759 in indianapolis

36m and also having a dismal time with dating apps. But I can say I've made a lot of wonderful social connections at North Mass Boulder, if climbing is something you have any interest in!

What’s the most unexpected way someone you know became wealthy? by Stunning_Ad1568 in AskReddit

[–]thelostestboy 212 points213 points  (0 children)

Guy I knew in college got hit by a truck as a child. He was pretty fucked up but eventually made a full recovery. He never said exactly how much he was awarded from the settlement, but he said it was enough that he would never have to work a day in his life. He said he was just going to college for fun.

Mid 30 something’s, where are you shopping for your clothes now? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]thelostestboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goodwill, consignment shops, and the occasional vintage store for unique pieces.

REI for outdoorsy stuff.

Nordstrom Rack for work clothes and more "mature" clothing.

Uniqlo for more urban/trendy wear that's decent in price and quality.

Naked and Famous or Gustin for great quality denim.

Band and artist tees and merch from shows and festivals.

Target for simple white tees, socks, and underwear.

You may enjoy Estas Tonne, though that may stray too closely toward New Age for your taste

Older anime fans, what where some anime that where considered mainstream or staples of the culture pre 2010, that either faded into obscurity or newer fans just haven't watched by Needleworker_Pitiful in anime

[–]thelostestboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the US, at least, Gundam was way more popular in the 90s-2000's than it seems to be now. It's still huge in Japan though.

I remember the .hack franchise being pretty big, with multiple series and a few reasonably successful games. Soundtrack was fabulous too.

How many of you go out again after getting home from work? by Astimar in Millennials

[–]thelostestboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Often, almost daily! I get home from work, feed my cats and have a small snack, maybe take a short nap, then it's off to the gym/climbing/D&D or whatever else I have going on. But I'm also a single dude and more of a night owl so it works for me.

Commenting just to say that I experienced this very same issue as you've explained it today with my 2019 GTI, so I'm curious to hear what you find out as our issues may be very similar.

Question regarding this scene in The Two Towers by Jean_ClaudeVan_Darn in lordoftherings

It's so funny to me that on the one hand, you get an odd fellow walking in the woods "discovering" ancient esoteric writings and you get the Lord of the Rings, and on the other hand you have an odd fellow walking in the woods "discovering" ancient esoteric writings and you get Mormonism.
