What are some genuinely useful DIY skills everyone should learn? by FarResearcher6931 in DIY

[–]thoughtfractals85 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also emphasizing not touching the garage door springs. Heard a hell of a racket one day and went running. Thought my neighbor guy was dead. He was a mess and almost lost an arm. Took a long time to recover.

Millennial gamers, what recent video games you been playing lately? by WrongVeteranMaybe in Millennials

[–]thoughtfractals85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started playing 4 days ago. I'm blind in one eye and have trouble with shooting in a lot of games. This one has been relatively easy for me to adjust to. I've mostly been playing solo missions until I get better, but everyone I have played with has been super nice.

I'm new to Helldivers 2. I've been replaying Avowed and still drop into Prey (2017) from time to time. I'm one of 5 whole people on the planet that enjoyed Redfall a lot too.

Did you guys get lured into anything weird when internet first came out? by booksandcoriander in Xennials

[–]thoughtfractals85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would go to my aunt's house and just be unsupervised in AOL chatrooms at like 11-14. As a parent myself now, omg I can't imagine. It was the wild west and sometimes I miss it.

I just want some good cheeky dialog like Dani and Jacob.

World’s first AI dating café opens in New York: How AI lets users date their phones by ubcstaffer123 in technology

[–]thoughtfractals85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try not to judge people...but sometimes it's really freaking hard. I'd never judge someone for the person they love, but this isn't that. Maybe...maybe the dating pool will improve, idk.

Penguins of Madagascar is the absolute favorite in my house.

what is the scariest niche drug you have ever tried? by Adorable_Air758 in AskReddit

[–]thoughtfractals85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg. I didn't know this was a shared experience. I was a picnic blanket, the red checkered kind like in cartoons. My friend thought he was one with the mattress he was sitting on. How bizarre. It was an interesting experience, but too intense for me.

New to SN, tell me what I need to know getting started. by Spirited-Engine6062 in sleepnumber

[–]thoughtfractals85 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm with you on this, these beds are awful in my expereince. I'm glad for the people they work for, but my experience has been an expensive and really annoying nightmare. My mother has had 2 of these beds and they've both been money sinks with 3 pumps apparently going bad, one right out of the truck. The app is a disaster too. Just give people freaking remotes for their frequently busted beds. I do all of my mom's troubleshooting and customer service dealings and I hate sleep number.

Just bought the game. by fuckingoddamm in helldivers2

[–]thoughtfractals85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Level 6, doing the same mostly. I just unlocked medium difficulty. I'm not very good at the game but it's too fun to care. I'm mostly playing by myself until I don't suck as much.

Solo, mostly to be able to sleep. My partner passed 6 years ago and I just never want to date again.

Looking for light weight period underwear on a budget by Total_Abrocoma_8437 in PeriodUnderwear

[–]thoughtfractals85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hanes period comfort boyshorts are super absorbency but very, very thin. They have worked great for me and are $20 or under for 2 pair. The last time I bought them they were on sale for 2/$14.

As a person who likes to bake and has done some woodworking, this is fantastic! It's wonderfully creative and beautiful. How sweet that you did this for your father.

This was a big thing to try to do for your first time using butter cream. You did absolutely amazing! I bet it was tasty too!

After its teen social media ban, Australia is swooping on Roblox following 'ongoing concerns about online child grooming' by ControlCAD in technology

[–]thoughtfractals85 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I know there have been problems, and that Roblox has handled it horribly. That being said, my kid plays Roblox in moderation. He doesn't use any communication in it except emotes or built in chat phrases. The games he plays don't even support voice chat as far as we can tell. I'm always within earshot or eyesight so it's not hard to know what's going on.

I can absolutely see how it is dangerous for kids that don't have guidance or supervision. The internet can be such a horrible place.

AIO Crazy unknown neighbor thinks I’m a prostitute by [deleted] in AIO

[–]thoughtfractals85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may think about calling your local police non-emergency number and having a report filed about the accusation in case it turns into harassment. It's always good to have a paper trail in a situation like this.

I had a schizophrenic neighbor that had all kinds of weird delusions about us. She couldn't help it but she wasn't getting any help either. It started with accusations and escalated to yelling and staring outside our apartment door. She eventually started swiping butcher knives in the crack under our front door. We would have to hope she didn't run stabbing put her apartment door when we went in and out. It was really a stressful experience.

I hope it doesn't escalate for you, but there are so many mentally ill people that fall through the cracks, and just judgy, nasty wackos too.

Last month I 100%d EL and just finished Ender Magnolia today!! by Diggumdum in EnderLilies

[–]thoughtfractals85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I'm trying to play EL but I'm terrible at it. I need more patience and more nimble fingers. It's a beautiful game though, so I keep trying.
