Seeking feedback on the pressure washing specific CRM I'm building

2024.05.14 02:17 GIS_n00b Seeking feedback on the pressure washing specific CRM I'm building

TLDR; built a crm specifically for pressure washing: plaidquotes.com, looking for feedback. Lots of features, contact me if you have any questions on how it works, or have any suggestions/requests at [kevin@plaidquotes.com](mailto:kevin@plaidquotes.com) .
I've been building a crm over the past year (I'm a software engineer by trade) specifically for the pressure washing industry, and I'm seeking feedback. It's live, so by all means go use it. In addition to feedback, I'm also looking to quantify upsell amounts (this was specifically designed to increase upsells), and gather information on common usage amounts so I can calculate my costs for hosting, CPU usage, storage fees, etc. I've been trying to design it in such a way that it remains easy to use and understand, while still providing beneficial insights into your business. That being said, there's still a lot in there. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out either here or my email [kevin@plaidquotes.com](mailto:kevin@plaidquotes.com) .
Some information to get you started: This was specifically designed to increase upselling. As such, it automatically sends EVERY quote you put on a property to a customer, every single time. I never understood why we always just respond with "here's the quote you asked for". Instead, "would you like fries with that?". Also, once you quote a house, you'll never have to do it again. And why should you? You've already looked it up on zillow, measured everything out on google etc. The quotes on the property are permanent (they can be edited in realtime, and you can delete them), and the customer can use the link you send them to book jobs forever, without having to call you to ask for quotes.
I'm operating under the assumption that all 2 story 2500 sq vinyl houses (for example) are pretty much the same, with some caveats. I understand that not everybody does it this way, that's fine. And you can still very easily edit the prices to apply to specific properties. When you create a new account, it will come with a sample "quote collection" and "saved quote". Quote collections are what they sound like, and my current users are calling them "2500 sq ft 2 story vinyl" for example. You should put all of the quotes that apply to every house in the category in your collection to make adding quotes to properties easier. They can be edited before posting to a property, as well as after, so if there is something about a specific house that increases the pricing of gutter cleaning, for instance, that can be edited on the fly. Saved quotes are things like decks, gazebos, etc. Things that don't apply to every house, but that you see with some regularity.
Quotes are permanently attached to the property, until you delete them. They can be edited in bulk, so if you want to up all of your prices across the board by 3%, you can do that. Or if you want to update all roof wash prices, you can do that as well.
Example usage: Joe Schmo calls, he lives at 1234 main str and wants a house wash quote. You type in his address, it'll pop up in the autocomplete. When you click it, it takes you to that address, and gives you all of the info on that address (past jobs, upcoming jobs, customers, etc.). Click on the quote collection that applies to that address, make any edits you need, click on the house wash quote in the "existing quotes" box, and fire the email.
Joe Schmo will get an email, with a list of your quotes that he can scroll through at his own leisure, select the services he wants, and book. This also asks for his name/phone number (if you don't already have it in the crm) and optionally, lead source. This will populate his data into the crm for you.
That request will show up on your dashboard as a requested job. Click on it to see the job, schedule, etc. Scheduling also automatically generates an invoice, which follows your payment terms (or defaults to net-30 commercial and net-7 residential.
Customers also receive job tracking emails, where they can track the status of their job.
Automated email is about to be released (just have more testing to do), which will allow you to create custom email templates that go out at your specified times (i.e. a week after you send quotes if they haven't booked, a day before scheduled job as confirmation, a month before what you deem to be a follow-up/repeat service, etc.).
Several other features are in the pipeline, and definitely reach out if you have any requests/suggestions/comments/concerns.

2024.05.14 02:12 Sufficient-Ant-3991 How do you cope with the reality that no one really likes you

Hey so I'm struggling to cope with the fact that "I'm just not that guy." I have always struggled to make friends.
I tried therapy. All I got was a therapist who got be to believe wishful thinking but it never changed my situation.
I tried self improvement like working out and building confidence. Sure I felt better mentally but it only made it more noticeable that people didn't like me. People were quicker to show disapproval. Just here recently I try to get a girl to study with me and she lied about being busy. She was decided to study with someone else. I try to approach people as friends but i just get ignored. For example, in my grad school, everyone went out to the bars and I wasn't invited. Tried to plan a pool party and the idea was shot down.
So I have given up. Friends I do make feels one sided. No one really initiates first in my life. I'm a sideline character and I see that now.
Side note: I know it sounds like I lack self confidence but I don't. I put alot work into myself because I love myself. But that hasn't ever really transferred to others.
Idk if anyone has felt like that before. How did you cope with it?

2024.05.14 02:12 ferallunchlady How to write an HR complaint about sexism from management.

Let me start by saying this because I feel like I need to. I am not one to cry misogyny at any little slight. I’ve not once felt like I’ve experienced sexism at any of the shitty jobs I’ve had. It has taken me a lot to get to this point and I just really don’t want to come off as dramatic.
That being said, I was pushed to my absolute limit at work today. Last week a male in management emailed me saying that it “seemed I was feeling picked on” when trying to solve a process issue. I responded by telling him why my concerns were valid and then telling him that I found his response unprofessional and tone deaf. That if I should ever feel ‘picked on’ I’d make it known and not to confuse my commitment to improving process with me responding out of emotion. I did not receive a response. My female coworker also responded to his email with facts and a criticism of his unprofessional behavior. Fast forward to today where a meeting was held to discuss this. Things got heated and he said “I didn’t even read your responses because I knew they’d be emotional.” I stood up, loudly declared that I would like a meeting with HR and walked out. Me and my coworker have been subject to this kind of treatment for years. Below is a list of examples.
These are just a few things I can think of at the moment but you get the idea. After my declaration of taking things to HR, management is TERRIFIED. I’ve already received an apology from the guy I had a problem with today that mentions HR so I know this is my time to actually be heard. The only problem is that one of the major people I’m complaining about is the owner of the company and his wife is an HR manager (who’s terrified of lawsuits). I want to be taken seriously when I do this. If anyone could give me any tips, tricks, buzzwords, dos, don’ts, etc. it would be so appreciated. I’m so tired of feeling small and inferior because of these mediocre white men and I need things to change.

2024.05.14 02:08 Any_Acanthaceae236 Ghosted after 7 months

I (F26) have been in a situationship with this guy(31) for 7 months - I already know how stupid it sounds.
For the past couple of months I’ve tried to drop him multiple times, because I don’t wanna be in a situationship anymore. Each time he has told me not to, he says he likes me and wants to see me, we’re gonna go out and do so and so.. etc.
He recently went on a vacation where he was ignoring my messages for hours while I could see he was online - this has never happened before. I also opened up about something vulnerable he had asked me about, only for him to leave me on read and never respond to it. After he came home I didn’t hear from him until 5 days later which was on a Friday. He asks how I’m doing, and I bring up that I don’t think we should continue our relation because I really like him and can’t be in a situationship anymore. Another reason is also that he says he wants a relationship, but is not sure about us because we live 5 hours away from each other and he doesn’t wanna do long distance.
Once again he declines it, says he likes me, that he wants to see me and that we’ll figure things out. He also adds that he’s not even dating anyone - I didn’t ask he brought it up himself. The conversation doesn’t really have a closure, cause then he says he has to sleep. Over the weekend he texts me like everything is normal between us again. He initiates contact, calls me babe, compliments me and everything is like it was before the trip. Then I text him monday and again he is sweet, engaging in the conversation etc.
That was the last conversation, now I haven’t heard from him in a week. Honestly, I am so confused about what has happened. I thought maybe he met someone else on his vacation, or maybe someone he used to date came back or something. But then why decline when I tried to end our relation on a Friday only to ghost me after on the following Monday. It doesn’t make sense to me. On top of this I also have some serious health issues, and I’m scheduled for a major surgery in a couple of weeks - which he knows about. It brings me a bit of stress that I don’t understand why he has been acting this way. And I also have no idea if he is gonna contact me before my surgery or if he has really just ghosted me for good.
Sorry for the long post, just needed to vent. Does anyone have any suggestion as to why I have been ghosted or what I should do from here?

2024.05.14 02:07 BringTheNipple Just finished the game. I loved part 1.

The start of the game was amazing. I even gave up twice before finishing it just to play it again. Because I got lucky with some OP cards (squirrel ant totem) and didn't want to cheat my self through it. I loved so much that you could "cheat" a board game with the various items by sacrificing body parts.
When part 2 came around I didn't enjoy the atmosphere at all, but at least it was super fast and easy to go through it and the new cards kept me entertained.
But jesus part 3 just is not for me with a boss that was probably the bastard baby of reddit and 4chan. I have never been more annoyed by a video game character in my entire life. He is constantly smug and at the same time so completely pathetic. And the whole stage is just a cakewalk I think I died only once to it, but god if this didn't just infuriate me more because I wasn't having fun mindlessly going through it.
I hated the robot aesthetic too. They really made it as cold and soulless as they wanted to, but for me I preferred Leshy's deck, basement and feel way more. Sacrifices, blood galore, crazed hunters and just the raw feeling of live and death really hooked me in.
I really liked the aesthetic of the undead scribe too. The animations of the undeads on the board were cool as fuck. I honestly thought that there would be just as much gameplay with her as the robot guy.
Also jesus christ orobouros is ridicilous ? I skipped it during my entire run, but everyone here is posting some insane stats on it. I had a 1 health 7/7 triple attack at one point and thought that was easy mode.
Just sharing my thoughts. Overall I liked the game, but the transition from the lively(and deadly) Part 1 into the pixel world and that cold robot world just didn't cut it for me.

2024.05.14 02:05 Rogersgirl75 I was friends with Mica's Ex-Husband and his wife. I feel compelled to make a statement regarding them.

Today I was in this subreddit and looking at articles related to this case, and am just realizing that a former friend of mine is the ex-husband of Mica Miller.
Well... anyone who knows me who reads this will immediately be able to tell exactly who I am, but please I ask that you dm me privately and do not reveal my name if you recognize this story and want to talk.
Around 2017 (I think), I joined a local bible study group. All the members of this bible study were young adults (aged 20-35 approximately) who met online through Bumble BFF or through mutual friends who went to church together, or just word of mouth, so we didn't all attend one single church or even any particular denomination. Our common factor was that we were around the same age and wanted to meet up and study the Bible. We would meet once a week at Starbucks and talk about a chapter or so at a time.
Through this group I became friends with a lovely girl (who I will refer to as Jane, as in Jane Doe because I do not want to dox her), as well as many other friends I hold to this day, and a man that would become my husband.
After I had known her for a while, Jane met a man outside of our Bible study and started dating him (I'll call him John Doe even though his name is out there publicly). She told me John had previously been married, and had been an assistant pastor at a local church, but that his ex-wife had cheated on him with the head pastor of that church. She said John had to leave his position at that church, got a divorce... it basically ruined his life for a while. He had been truly blindsided and devastated. It was explained to me that the guy who slept with his wife had also been a very close friend of his, and was the officiant of John and this ex-wife's wedding.
John and Jane dated for a while, and eventually got married. My then fiance (now husband) and I were friends with them for years after they were married, and they seemed very happy together.
I hate getting specific, but we are not friends anymore after kind of an awkward disagreement about some religious beliefs. I don't want to make it sound like they have sinister beliefs so I will reveal it I guess... My fiance had to move into my condo with me before we got married because of some very inconvenient circumstances involving his lease expiring a month before our wedding and the house we had bought together not being ready yet to move into yet. John, Jane , my fiance and I were all of the belief that staying celebate before marriage is the way we should live (please don't even comment on this part of the story ... I didn't want to leave it in, but I'm trying to explain that our friendship ended over a pretty stupid but not sinister disagreement. I'm not trying to get into a moral debate).
John and Jane thought my fiance and I would unable to remain celebate housemates until marriage. I still don't think it was ever any of their business, but they were adament in insisting that remaining friends with us while we lived together before marriage would be as bad as them condoning sin. They went through w/ cutting us off after my fiance and I moved in together. It's a shame really. My fiance and I actually were completely abstinent until we got married, but of course there was no way to prove that, nor did I think I should have ever had to discuss such a private topic with them (or anyone other than my partner!) at all. But... the friendship has been over and irreparable since then. It's been years now since I've spoken to either of them.
I haven't thought about them for a while, but today I was researching this case and found a Daily Mail article, as well as several Reddit threads with PHOTOS of John Doe and Mica Miller at their wedding. I truly did not realize until a few hours ago that SHE was his ex-wife, but now the stories are clicking together. It was a huge shock to see his face and name in relation to this situation.
I want to make the statement that you all should NOT be digging into John Doe or his current wife. Even though we are no longer friends, I really respect them both and think they are lovely people. I actually think Mica Miller is the villian in John Doe's story. Of course it does sound like she was groomed and manipulated by John Paul Miller, but she did cheat on John Doe. It embarassed him publicly and cost him many friends, and his job.
(Admins, if you need photo proof that I really know these people, I can provide a lot of screenshots or other evidence. I just don't want to dox them or myself here, and truly am appalled that John Doe's real name is even out there at all),

2024.05.14 02:00 Nibba_Caaatt Did anyone else's Nparents adopt tons of animals?

Growing up my Nmom would adopt several pets at a time, to the point where no person could reasonably expect to take care of the number there were without neglect being involved. At the worst point she had 5 dogs, was fostering a separate dog, and had 2 cats. Me and my siblings were not given any choice whenever she would adopt a new animal and were expected to help with them - it felt suffocating because she devoted significantly more time to taking care of animals than her own children. I still can't think of a reason why any sane person would do this, but i'm sure you guys can think of something.
As awful as it sounds to say this, it felt like living with an infestation. I couldn't go anywhere in the house without stepping in a pile of pee or shit, and clumps of hair infested every corner of the house. I couldn't do anything in peace without being followed by 1-2 animals at any given time. Dog hair floated idly through the air of every room, and it was almost impossible to not breathe it in at times. I compensated by this by keeping the one space I had, my room, as clean as possible and not coming out unless I absolutely had to. Even then, Nmom was not wary of boundaries and would go tearing through my room with several animals leaving messes behind her. She also had a habit of leaving my door open when she did this, so at times I would go over to Ndad's house for several days and come back to my room which I had deep-cleaned thoroughly covered in feces and urine.
Because of this I was also embarrassed to have friends over because of the disgusting state of the house. The one and only time I had a friend over to the house during my entire upbringing was in the fifth grade, and upon seeing the filth that the house was covered in, he spread rumors about the way my family lived to all the other people we went to school with (Which stuck until I graduated and moved out!)
Nmom lived in denial of the filth around her, and whenever I would try to clean it, the animals being around the house simultaneously would make it impossible to have any space clean for long. She also refused to cage the animals whenever we were out of the house as she believed it to be some form of animal abuse. During this time, they would run amok and make messes around the house.
Every time I have mentioned my disdain for the way we lived growing up, and cited the reasons above as why, Nmom would label me as whining over nothing or would tell me that if I had a problem with the state of the house I should "clean it myself" (Trust me, I tried!) I recently moved back into her house for the summer after completing my freshman year of college, and after living in an almost perfectly clean room for a year this has been the #1 thing to get on my nerves since I moved back. I was curious if anyone else's Nparent's did something similar to this, and what you guys could draw from this.

2024.05.14 01:55 ThaBigSqueezy Suspension Chirp?

I hate to bother y’all with this, and I haven’t really spent any time investigating yet other than searching this forum, but my E350 (W212) with 90k miles seems to have a very high pitched chirp when I drive over bumps.
It’s not EVERY bump, but it seems like it’s the more aggressive ones. They don’t have to be deep bumps, just sudden. A crack in the pavement won’t do it, but a heave in the pavement might.
Seems to be mostly in the 10 to 60 mph range. Too slow and it doesn’t seem to happen; too fast and I can’t hear it. I can’t hear it with the windows up, but when the windows are down I can hear it coming from both sides of the car. I also heard it once from the front left wheel when I parked in the garage a couple weeks ago. I use a couple 2x4s to roll up to so I know I’m in far enough and it chirped ever so slightly when I rolled back off the board.
It’s super high pitch, almost like a bird chirping. Very short sound. Only when the suspension travels. I went out and pushed down on the hood a bit, tried to get it rocking, and I kinda think I heard in at the front two wheel wells. Nothing in the back.
This is my first Benz and I love it like it were my own child, but before I drop it off at the dealer and get hosed, or I take all apart and can’t get it back together, I’d love to hear some opinions on what it might be. Also, before you say “don’t buy something you can’t afford to fix,” mmmkay, I can afford to fix it. I just like to be well informed and the people here seem knowledgeable.
Cheers!

2024.05.14 01:55 Rinteln The results of my random Facebook Marketplace meetup

The results of my random Facebook Marketplace meetup
Some guy was advertising that he had 100+ issues he wanted to get rid of from various flea market market gone to. He had no list of titles and issues so I just had to meet up in person and hope for the best.
I met him at some gas station and he pulled out two boxes of random crap from his pickup. Mixed in among Funko boxes and toy lightsabers were the comics in various states of care. Loose books, bagged books, books in open, large Ziploc bags, books wrapped in saran wrap. Some books stuck together with who knows what.
I took my time sorting through them and pulled out the ones in the picture and made a deal for 50 bucks for the set of them. Then I went straight home and re-bagged and re-boarded the lot. These were mostly in good condition, surprisingly. 5.0-8.5 if I had to guess.
He claims he has more in some storage locker somewhere and that he’ll reach out to me again when he finds those. So who knows lol?

2024.05.14 01:51 ThrustersToFull American Boomers in Europe (long)

My husband (27M) and I (38M) are doing a trip across Europe at the moment. He’s American and I’m British and we reside mostly in the UK. We’ve had experiences with boomers (too many experiences) but our travels across Europe have been something else.
95% of these boomers were, it seemed, American.
Ok some examples. Brace yourself. Here we go:
  1. Venice. A city of tiny islets connected by bridges and where water taxis, gondolas and walking over bridges is commonplace. On approaching a very narrow bridge, I noticed a clump of people. As we got closer I saw a woman shouting, and then I heard her. She’s American, standing with her arms outstretched as to block access and she was SCREAMING: “Don’t walk on this bridge!! WE ARE TAKING PHOTOS ON OUR CELLPHONES!” Behind her, her friends were all posing while simultaneously struggling to operate their phones. Obviously people were just ignoring her, so she’s becoming irate. By the time we got to her I can’t help myself (I never have been able to) so I said: “Get fucked lady.” I think my backpack might have hit her as I pushed past her. Ooops.
  2. At a water taxi station, a group of 8 or so boomers didn’t have the correct tickets to scan to get on the taxi taxi so they just PUSHED the ticket barriers until they gave way so they could board. This was noticed by the taxi boat staff, however, and they the departure of the boat was delayed while they had to phone the police.
  3. On a taxi gondola (one that goes directly across a canal, not one that takes you on a romantic tour) a boomer boarded after us. The ‘driver’ tells him in clear English to sit down. He doesn’t comply, instead choosing to parade up and down causing the gondola to destabilise and even for water to come aboard, even before we’ve left the port. He has the absolute temerity to tell the driver to “KEEP THIS THING STEADY! I'M TRYING TO TAKE PHOTOS YOU IDIOT!” The driver tells him to either sit down or leave. He reluctantly obeys but as he sits down mutters something like “… won the second world war!”
  4. We went to an ultra high end restaurant on our final night in Venice and at the table next to us are a couple of American boomers. The man had a very unusual complexion, looking like he’s spent far too long in the sun. When their bill came, he threw a FIT because they won’t accept AmEx. “This is FUCKING OUTRAGEOUS!” He screams at the waiter who is about 18 and doesn’t really understand what is being said to him. “WE USE THIS CARD ALLL THE TIME AT HOME!” I leaned over and said: “Errrrrr, so in Europe AmEx isn’t often accepted because of the very high transaction fees. Perhaps you could-“ to which he snapped at me: “Mind your own fucking business! Nobody asked you or your boyfriend.”
  5. In Zürich, we had to contend with a boomer who kept getting in the way of us taking photos. It was like he was deliberately standing in our way. At one point he seemed to almost accidentally touch my husband. Eventually I said: “hey bro, we’re trying to take a picture of us together. Can you give us some room?” To which he snapped: “You don’t own this hill you know!!”
  6. We had a 7 hour train journey from one country to another. We had a first class reservation. Once we boarded, we found two boomer couples sitting around a table, which our two seats were part of. I explained we had a reservation. One of them said: “Well you can’t have, we have this table.” I produced the reservation and said: “You can clearly see it says we are in this coach, in first class, in these seats. Can I see YOUR reservation?” They refused, with the man from the other couple saying: “You don’t even look like you can afford first class tickets, son. Why don’t you run along before I get security?” I turned to my husband and said: “Go and get someone.” He did so, and they spend the next 15 minutes berating me, saying I’d be “very embarrassed” when I am told to leave the train. One of them even said: “Yeah they’ll show you up like the poor you are.” Husband returned with ticket inspector who looked at our tickets and then asks them to produce theirs. They argue briefly, and upon being threatened with removal from the train, produce tickets for second class with no reservations. The inspector tells them to leave the first class section “immediately or this will be a matter for the police” (which she said in French so I had the great pleasure of translating). They reluctantly got up to go and made a HUGE huff and puff about it. One of them pulled his bag off a luggage rack and managed to hit a child sitting near the rack with it, and then verbally abused the child’s parents when they dared to complain. At the next stop the train stopped for about 30 minutes and announcements were made that there was an “unexpected delay”. The ticket lady from before came to tell us that the four of them had been asked to leave because of their behaviour in second class, refused to do so, and therefore the police were brought in.
  7. In Prague, went to a very old family owned restaurant. One of the family is a university student who happened to get talking to a boomer couple. He’s studying computing science and artificial intelligence. They tell him he is “contributing to the end of humanity”. The male boomer adds: “I was teaching people how to use Microsoft 20 years ago, I know what computers can do! And this is very dangerous….!” Needless to say, this 19 year old who understands only basic English is very confused.
  8. In Milan, a boomer couple walked past me in a shop and I heard the woman say: “Fucking useless, this Italy. Everyone here speaks in foreign.”
  9. In an airport to travel from Germany to Zürich, a boomer couple decided to start regulating the line to board the jet. They stood in the way of the gate desk, letting only older people past and holding younger people back. I snapped at once: “What are you doing? Get out of the way, man” and as I walked past him I heard “… elders first! Elders first!” When I was on the jet and seated, the wife came up to me ONCE WE WERE IN THE AIR and said I had been “very disrespectful” to her husband and “you are now required to apologise.” My husband, seeing I was on the verge of committing a murder, said: “Look, you got your moment of glory earlier in controlling the queue. Take your pound of flesh and fuck off.” She then snaps: “OR WHAT?” to which my husband calmly replies: “Or we make a complaint right now about your disruptive behaviour onboard an aircraft. Don’t tend to like that, the Swiss.” And then he sits down and instantly puts his AirPods in and turning away from her. I had to look out of the window so she didn’t see me smiling.
  10. In Milan we visited a museum showcasing technologies through the ages. It was enormous, and very comprehensive. In one display case they have an original Macintosh from 1984. As I stand looking at it, I became aware of some raised - distinctly American - voices. “What the hell!! Are they saying they MADE the computer?!!? WE MADE THE COMPUTER.” I can’t resist (again) and turn to him and say to this group of 6 boomers: “Actually, ladies and gents, the modern inventor of the computer is Alan Turing, an English guy who broke the German’s Enigma code during World War 2. This Macintosh is here just because of its historical significance-“ I didn’t get any further cos he cut me off with “UGH. So it’s the ENGLISH stealing our tech now!”
I am writing this because we were both have been genuinely taken aback by what we have experienced. I have travelled extensively in Europe and never quite come up against this before, so I don’t know if it means that the Boomer problem is getting worse or what.

2024.05.14 01:50 OptimalMacaroon4877 Need some advice 💔

Hi, I'm a guy and I'm 16 years old. 2 and a half months ago my girlfriend of 10 months broke up with Me and I was heartbroken. For a while I just tried to distract myself from the hurt of the whole situation, and it didn't help at all. I then told myself that I was gonna work on myself for the next 3 months and that I would have a second chance at getting her back during summer( I know it sounds stupid).After that the pain stopped, I missed her but not to the point where it hurt. Knowing I was gonna have a second chance numbed the hurt of the whole thing. Well summer is in a month and I've been improving myself and everything for the past month or two but recently I discovered that there is a chance that she is talking to someone new. That sinking feeling hit my stomach again and now I'm overthinking about everything and really just need a bit of advice. I feel like a idiot doing all of this and feeling this way for a girl. I feel like i should maybe keep at what I'm doing and see what comes of things when summer rolls around and go from there.Any kind of advice would be great, Thanks 🙏🏻

2024.05.14 01:47 csnider4 Exhaust Question

Exhaust Question
First, I want to say I absolutely love my '24 GT. It did not come with Active Exhaust and I've been looking for ways to add to some of that beautiful Coyote V8 sound. I live in a residential neighborhood where I leave for work very early and am not trying to be "that guy" who wakes the neighborhood up on their way to work. I absolutely love the sound of the Corsa, Borla, and Roush cat-back, but without Active Exhaust feature or a valved system, I am afraid they will be too loud. This has led me to valved exhaust systems, mainly Valvetronic's systems. Would it be a waste of money to buy a full cat-back exhaust system such as Corsa Extreme and swap out the Corsa muffler with a Valvetronic Universal Muffler? Perhaps another option would be to buy an H/X pipe and replace the stock muffler with the Valvetronic Universal Muffler? Otherwise, the Valvetronic cat-back system is nearly $3000. Let me know your thoughts, thank you!

2024.05.14 01:43 JackieBoy2320 Trans guy.. first gay hookup

So I'm in town on vacation with my wife. I leave at the ass crack of dawn on Wednesday to board the train to go back home.
Last night (sunday) I was curious what was in the area. I reinstalled grindr like I have countless times before. With the intention of just looking. I updated my pics because I finally pass as male. And I think it's hot lol. Of the bat someone messages and I'm interested. I let him know I'm trans. Don't have time to catch someone off guard and get murked... I've had a hysto back late last year. I'm good on penetration as far as I'm aware. This is the perfect 1 night stand cause I'll never see him again. I get to test the waters on the gay side. I told him I couldn't meet up last night but he wants to meet up tonight. Like I'm feeling it. It's fucking hot.
My sex life with the wife has been weird since my surgery. But I really want some rando dick because for the first time there's no risk of getting pregnant. I have no ovaries. I was awkward as shit pre hormones. And sex with guys was the worst because of it. I pass as male 90% of the time. My little gay boy wants to play.
Plan on meeting up with him on the bike path down the river bank from the hotel. Never had sex in public before. Nervous as fuck. I've had drunken hookups a few times before my surgery but it was with the Same guy. It was fucking amazing but that sits a little close to home. I live a 12 hour train ride away. I'm nervous as shit because there's not really much for places to step off the path where someone isn't gonna see. Especially at 8pm. The bike path is fairly active for dogs and bikes and runners. I just don't wanna get caught with my pants around my ankles. I don't wanna go to jail because someone sees us before we see them. The idea of cruising is sexy but even then it's typically out of sight. Thinking of telling him I've changed my mind. Mt is great I'd like to be able to visit again in the future...... but don't want to end up on the registry...

2024.05.14 01:42 Intelligent_Bass7575 3rd date issues

This is a pointless story, I just don’t have anyone else to tell. Location: very rural northeast USA.
I (35f) matched with a guy (31m) and we talked for a couple days on the app then met up for coffee. I was super super into him for the first couple dates and beginning of the third. On the third date we went out to dinner and he ordered THREE whole dinners, each with sides, and ate them. Honestly I was kind of grossed out but he was very tall so I tried not to judge. The plan was to go to my house for a movie after.
Immediately on getting to my house (a 1 minute drive from the restaurant), he said “I need to use your bathroom.” I got the vibe it is was for an urgent #2 so I said “yeah go for it, I was going to walk my dog anyway!” I proceeded to walk my dog for ten minutes but when I got back to my driveway, I could tell from the lack of movement in my kitchen that he still hadn’t emerged from the bathroom. He then texted me from the toilet saying “apologies for all the flushes” and explaining that he would be out in 5 minutes. My house is tiny so I continued to wait outside so he could have more privacy and freedom to make sounds. Eventually I saw him hurrying out the front door and he was like “I gotta go sorry!!” and drove off.
Tbh I know shit happens but I was kind of grossed out just because … no duh you shouldn’t eat three whole dinners around a new date? I really tried to overlook it, checked up on him to make sure he was okay, and we had a redo the next night. He showed up in sweatpants and wanted to cook me “the best pancake in the world”, which was one of his prompts.
When I tell you this was one of the worst pancakes… 🥞 🔫. He dumped all the batter in the pan at once and then surprise didn’t have room to flip it. Raw in the center because it was so huge. Served it and was like “isn’t this the best??”
I dunno I don’t wanna be a snob or shame someone over shitting but it’s like the audacity to show up next time in sweatpants with some insanely misguided ego about your cooking abilities?? I was so grossed out. I honestly feel quite bummed because I was so into him initially! But trust if I had a toilet emergency like that, I would’ve shown up to the following date looking amazing, suggesting tea and a light snack. 😬
I told him I didn’t think we were compatible. I’m ready to be called an uppity biotch. Thanks for reading.

2024.05.14 01:40 Vast_Neighborhood429 Just found out I (f32) have an avoidant attachment style through multiple friends red-flagging my 3 year relationship - if he (m32) is also avoidant can we make it work?

A friend of mine was concerned at the weekend when she asked a question to me and ny boyfriend about our future plans to move in with each other and our responses were “haven’t talked about it” and “well she’s comfortable living here and I’m happy living at my place”. She brought up with me on our own that she feels worried that he can’t give me what I need, that I’m totally different when he’s around like I’m smaller and meeker and milder and she almost had me convinced I needed to break up with the guy. (I don’t actually want to at all right now) and this would have been ok and I could have dealt with it if she wasn’t the 3rd friend in a month to bring this up - comments like “sounds like a red flag if he’s not talking to you” or “you could just have so much more”. While it’s shitty they don’t see what I see in my relationship I can also understand their concerns - I tell them things that make me uncomfortable or unhappy in my relationship but have never ever been able to bring any of these up with him. I know really that he wouldn’t have an issue with me bringing stuff up but I have this horrible fear of rejection that if I were to bring anything up with him that he would just shrug it off and say ok we’re done.
Because I was alarmed I did finally talk to him and he was a bit surprised my friends feel that way but he didn’t get defensive he just said “well they’re your friends and they are looking out for you. We’re not the same and we’re not that compatible in our interests but we do get on and our relationship works for us.” I made the point that some things kinda have to change because I need to feel more confident sharing my needs with him rather than just shoving everything down and pretending like I’m the easiest girl to get on with in the world. His response was kind of well “I don’t think our relationship needs to change really we’re happy”.
I decided to get some advice from a therapist and she basically identified that I have an avoidant attachment style stemming from some real old issues in my childhood and needing to protect myself from fear of rejection, or not sharing my mind in order to keep things calm. I think I’m gonna continue to go to therapy and see if I can work things out. But my therapist also said it sounded like he doesn’t have a secure attachment style either otherwise he would be able to respond to my needs or notice that I’m not raising things I should, and now I’m worried that if he is like me just skirting around the important conversations so that neither of us have to get hurt then we’re going to get stuck without being able to progress our relationship forward or have the tough conversations that would lead to a break up. Does anyone have any advice or know an experience similar to this? Is it doomed?
Tldr: went to a therapist after realising my friend’s perceived issues with my relationship actually stem from my insecure attachment style but the therapist said my boyfriend may have similar - is the relationship doomed?

2024.05.14 01:33 ContenidoAudiovisual (18M/18F) Is there any hope for us?

Sorry if I come up as dumb or something, I just want advice from people with experience on this.
We're 4 months in on this adventure, we live extremely far frome each other, even in the context of LDR, we're young and dumb. I know you guys don't like teen drama in this sub, but I'd still want some advice.
I've read some happy stories on this sub, and I've noticed they tend to have some things in common: both parts are full grown adults, only waited a couple months to meet and many times they're in the same continent, that's why reading them made me really self conscious about my experience. I'd say I'm too young to know what love is, but what I have with her feels real, she says she's willing to wait everlong for us to meet, but realistically that would take years if it were to happen since we're both just starting our studies. The way she speaks, she says lots of beautiful things to me, she sounds full of hope, but when I think about it, it just sounds like a fantasy.
I'm full of doubt, the only thing I know for sure is that she loves me and I love her, but she's way stronger than me, always full of positivity, talking about a future together so carelessly, I envy her on that aspect.
Is there any hope for us meeting someday in a few years when we have our lives put together or is this just something fleeting?

2024.05.14 01:33 HellScared6969 Nephew (8m) walked in on me taking a shower and I (26m) yelled a swear word at him AITJ?

So my siblings and I all visited my mother for mother's day, my sister has 2 small children, my relationship with them is pretty non-existent because they live in a different state, so I see them maybe once every few years for family events. My mother has a smallish 2 bedroom 2 bathroom house, so I crashed on a couch and let my sister and her husband take the guest bedroom. Don't know if that's relevant at all.
Anyways, mother's day weekend went great, I was getting ready to leave but decided to shower first since I'd been out in the sun all day, I told my mom I was going to use her guest bathroom, she failed to inform me you have to latch the door completely or it doesn't lock. Perhaps it was my first mistake not to test the lock first. Fast forward I'm mid shampoo and my 8 year old nephew just BUSTS into the bathroom, no warning, no knock. I had the shower curtain drawn so there was nothing for him to see but it certainly scared the absolute shit out of me and I unfortunately yelled. Nothing explicit at first, just "HEY SOMEONES IN HERE HEY", nephew mumbled out an "uhhh" then proceeded to SPRINT away, leaving the bathroom door completely open. This is where I made my biggest mistake, I yelled out "SHUT THE FUCKING DOOR", I didn't realize I had just sworn at an 8 year old boy until I was out of the shower and in a towel, I really didn't intend to swear, I have a bit of a sailors mouth and swear a lot, and tend to forget about kids being around. I dry off and put my clothes on then return to the living room, and my sister is sitting on the couch giving me a pissed off look. I have no hard feelings, if anything I'm a bit mad the kid didn't even have the decency to knock first or shut the door after busting in. Sister sighs and says "Please don't ever swear at my children" I apologized and replied "Then teach your kid to knock" and shrugged, I wasnt upset and I felt bad for swearing and yelling but I also don't think I'm the bad guy here. My mother was consoling my nephew when I came outside and sat down to explain to him why I yelled and said a bad word. Well, this ended up pissing my sister off more, because she felt (as she told our mom, not me) that I was making her out to be a bad mother. I said to my nephew "You understand why I yelled right? You frightened me, I'm not mad at you, please knock if a bathroom door is closed okay?" I didn't think I sounded demeaning or anything, after all I'm talking to an 8 year old and I just wanted him to know I don't hate him and we both did something wrong. I said I would put a quarter in a swear jar and gave him a hug, then departed a short time later.
Anyways, my sister is calling me a jerk to my parents and other siblings and is taking this as a personal offense against her parenting. It's all water under the bridge for me but now I don't know if I should apologize again or differently or what.
tl;dr young nephew didn't knock before rushing into the bathroom I was showering in, I yelled "shut the fucking door" as he ran away, sister is mad I explained to her son why he should knock first, thinks I'm being a jerk.
Am I the jerk?

2024.05.14 01:31 jeantown Still on the search for the right reusable respirator/mask for a short, small adult face

I'll get right into it, since my criteria for what I need in a mask has changed since the last time I made a post about it...
Size
Cost
Lifestyle needs
On my last post last year I asked about how well sound would come through but IDC anymore
Feel free to ask questions, I'm happy to answer. I understand I'll probably have to sacrifice one thing or another but as long as I don't get COVID and become more crippled than I already am, I can go for it.
I'm just really stressed since I uhh... I can't really sell a mask, should it not fit me, nor can I go buying a bunch. I don't want to spend money I'm REALLY going to need just to get sick and become even less functional anyways, yknow?
it's stressful... any advice is truly appreciated, i know my asks are pretty specific but any point in the right direction helps so much. thank you guys.
