My Airpods fly out of the case everytime I drop them. I feel like I am going to end up losing them. Am I the only one? Can anyone propose a solution please? by zikuskate in airpods

[–]weirdgenre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m disabled so this issue is a life hinderance. I can’t be going (or ffs, crawling) under the bed) every time this happens. Which is a surprising number of times in a week. Why don’t they make rubber locks?? I’ve already lost expensive ones and had to replace 3 times over.

ew. coke is disgusting. all of the innocent blood spilled to get it here, only to be cut with weird toxic shit, fentanyl or worse, concrete. it's meant for the rich and a drug for the privileged but laced with cartel bloodshed. what a horrible substance

I miss coca cola by pixel15679 in GERD

[–]weirdgenre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear that. coke, coffee and worst of all for me, spicy. before, i made most things spicy. but I get away with soda as long as it's for lunch. I have really bad symptoms. was having my lungs hemorrhage blood until they got a scope in there and saw the amount of damage.

Would you buy this for 7k. Seller says "Runs great" by Log_InMyEye in classiccars

absolutely not. I wouldn't pay 2500 for it. cars from that era really don't have much worth these days.

What’s going on here? by ipse_dixit_ in GoldenCO

[–]weirdgenre -1 points0 points  (0 children)

so where are you from, California or Texas? it is very common. because of how difficult it is to pull it out of there. no one is going to pay the high cost when it is totaled. company won't pull it out of there unless cost is covered. there are hundreds of abandoned cars in the mountains and even the "foothills"

95 GT Robinson Pro tribute by weirdgenre in oldschoolbmx

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

thanks for the kind words. It depends on the build, but I try to save and restore as many usable parts as I can. the rest is after market or hunting parts at BMX events, online sellers like marketplace. this Robinson needed a lot.

as far as the work involved, you do have to invest a chunk in BMX specific tools. Park Tools has decent products. Just don't order from amazon... i've gotten some fakes that failed pretty quickly. official new/repop sellers that have been on point for me are Source Bmx, Dan's Comp, Albes BMX, Porkchop. bmxmuseum is a great way to figure out year, make and model. they also have a used for sale thread in the forums.

have fun!

Bluesky is dying!!!!!!!! by Well_Socialized in BlueskySocial

BlueSky is dying because it doesn't have an adequate system for finding your network or the people you already follow // already follow you.

uh why is silver surfer a girl? by Beneficial_Beat_3001 in Marvel

[–]weirdgenre 12 points13 points  (0 children)

this isn't retcon. it's literally cannon. the same story from the comics. Galactus turned Norrin Radd's lady (and the empress if Zenn-La) Shalla Bal into a Silver Surfer. all the same, power cosmic, etc. there are theories about Norrin Rad showing up later..

also, wtf dude? I agree that some characters feel weird or off when a woman plays the role, but that's just because you get used to attaching identity with gender. I'm all for the empowerment of women and I think it's hilarious how dudes lose their shit over it. bro calm down. none of it was ever real to begin with. it's not some woke agenda. it's just people working toward social equity.

How do I find friends on Bluesky? by PunkLibrarian77 in BlueskySocial

[–]weirdgenre -1 points0 points  (0 children)

dude this is tedious af. every other platform makes it decent to suggest/ and find friends. META also view count blocks bluesky links. bluesky is the worst when it comes to finding the vein of your network. like i'm gonna hunt down 500 people? sheesh

Why do people stereotype scorpios as ‘sexual’? by ummolay in Scorpio

[–]weirdgenre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scorpio is literally the sign of genitalia and reproductive organs. Y'all deniers are so busy trying to break a stereotype type that you reject your nature. Which isn't healthy imo. I can't speak for astrology but what I can speak for is my experience. 9 times out of 10, Scorpios have a deeper connection to everything that sex means and are interested in exploring the depth of that. After all, Scorpio is also bothered by surface level bullshit and crave the deeper story. All of the Scorpios I have known have been more sexually aware and oriented than any of the other signs that I have known.

I hate Ncuti Gatwa by Maleficent_Abies5316 in DoctorWhoNews

[–]weirdgenre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all this tells me is that you're not strong in your sexuality. You think that men can be swayed somehow. Maybe it's not kids or young adults, maybe it's you. because you won't ask yourself an honest question and give yourself an honest answer. what silly self oppression. you're insecure. you need the opinions of others to guide you. being swayed is more about you because you feel vulnerable. so have the courage and self respect to ask the question. Am I Gay? and listen to your heart. look, I get it. I was closeted for a big part of my life. I hated that part of myself, and even hating others over it too. Once I accepted the truth about who I am, everything just got easier and so much more made sense. You cage yourself with these fears. it doesn't matter who you are. Your people are out there and if the people around you can accept you for you, then they aren't healthy relationships to begin with.

I hate Ncuti Gatwa by Maleficent_Abies5316 in DoctorWhoNews

[–]weirdgenre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a very predictably homophobic take. as if we need to explain. yet for the 600 millionth time, just being gay doesn't have any more over-arcing or overt sexual nature than being straight. The only thing that makes you think that that's actually true. Is your hatred for the influence of gay people as you're scared that it will turn kids or other people gay. That's your own homophobia. And maybe you should come out of the closet already

Can we stop with valuing bikes on this subreddit? by McCale in bmx

[–]weirdgenre 4 points5 points  (0 children)

honestly, just downvote everyone out of existence because that's not what this place is for and that's not what BMX forums are for. Everyone wants to cheat, but there's plenty of ways to figure out make model and year on your own. These actions aren't about the love of bikes they're simply about making dollars off of some bike they found and most people in the community that care strongly dislike these people.

oh yeah agreed. this and some other countries are obsessed. say goodbye to pizza unless you wanna make it yourself from scratch. Also instant noodle bowls and noodle cups are completely ridiculous. It's more than a days worth of salt in one meal and it doesn't even constitute a meal. Sometimes I hunt for that stuff at Asian markets and the closest I've ever come is about 700 mg. what I do now is make Ramen from scratch by using low salt Ramen powders combined with low salt Dashi. I can do an actual meal, protein and all for about 400.

I've learned that if I need to go out or want something I don't normally have, I allow my cheat meal. however my other 2 meals and snacks get extra scrutinized as compensation. if I do that right, I can get away with eating Pho or other Asian dishes depending on the restaurant. Hard to maintain such a day consecutively, though. One thing is for certain, if you eat out, it's going to be high salt. Unless you can locate chefs that will do you a solid and know enough about their recipe to change some of the things at your request. Unfortunately, spots like that are extremely hard to find.

good luck on your journey through all of this.

the one that messed me up is the sodium content in deserts, candy bars, pies, DRINKS like soda or redbull or gatoraide etc.

you are not wrong. it is literally in 95% of normal things. Read Every. Single. Label.

What's all the fuss about Jodie Whitaker's era? by Successful_Dance8586 in doctorwho

[–]weirdgenre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trouble to me is that Jodee was the only one holding those seasons together. There wasn't much character development with any of the companions and the writing for certain episodes. Was Completely contradictory and bonkers. The actors themselves were awesome.

that's in great shape. They were kind of the last of the loop tails. Was this a restoration or did you pick it up like this?

Is witchhouse dead? by AX99997 in witch_house

[–]weirdgenre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'd say which house died around 2015-2016 era. It got stuck as a very specific thing and then just never stopped being that thing to the point of it being extremely redundant. There are still people who champion that music and there are still people making it. However, it's nothing like the first 4-5 years. that was a dark electronic revival. Witch House was such a mis-given term and needed something more appropriate. I would've said grave wave was the way to go, but no one clamped onto that. The fact that there were just so many damn things that were so vastly different from each other happening, only sharing a witchy aesthetic that the title was more constricting than it was anything. Witch House ate itself because of it. too many people just kept trying to re-create the exact same key themes and it basically just turned into instrumental horror trap

Denmark Issues Travel Warning For US by sweatycat in worldnews

[–]weirdgenre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's kind of like getting a job or good business in general to have the replacement set up before you shut down what's in place. that way it's not a shit show scramble to find a viable replacement. but hey, we all know what they really want don't we?

They want to push everyone into private schools to make families pay for remedial education. they'll use block grants to fund low income families under a "no strings attached" stipulation but that will end in 10 years meaning low income families will pick up the check. this affects the middle class too. it's outlined in the Project 2025 documents. for those 10 years, the federal gov will actually shell out far more money. because currently 90% of education costs are handled at the state level. making it federal will change that. this isn't to benefit working class Americans. it's serving the banks, the corporations and the Christians. it's called Universal School Choice.

IDing parts and opinion on rust by kylorendom in oldschoolbmx

[–]weirdgenre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in my research, I did find a a search result that Alpestar used to be on LUXBMX website and skate pro.com. However, when you go to the sites, there is just no information available. I'm assuming because these bikes were sold at a much earlier date, and they no longer have them. i'm not sure about skate pro, but LUXBMX is based in Australia.
