  • Just my opinion, and I’m not even sure you are actually reading these responses, but there is something incredibly predatory about the way they are trying to deceive you, a non-native English speaker who is just learning, into using a sexually loaded term. I don’t know if any of this is true, and I’m really never the type to jump at shadows and tell people what to do, but on the off chance it is, please just get this person out of your life. If you are using some sort of website or service to meet language practice partners, report them to the site and submit these pictures in the report. For the report note that “the user attempted to deceive me (a stranger) into using sexually loaded terminology”. Whether that works or not, at least block them or find a better service to practice.

    Again, sorry for getting in your business, I don’t know anything about you, but please protect yourself.













  • Can’t promise you much but…

    You could maaaaybe look at your State’s Department of Transportation (So like TXDoT for Texas) and find their Bid Tabulations, get an average for 8’ Wooden Fence Repair or 8’ Fence Installation for this quarter, put it in a spreadsheet and multiply it by values between 1.0 and 2.0 (so 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc) and that can be your controlling range for price escalation for a private homeowner instead of a mass purchaser. It should be per linear foot.

    You multiply those values by your total linear feet to get a total estimate and see if the quotes you get from installers in your area that are within that range, and where they are within it. Look up the companies that you can get quotes from and their reputation if any, and try to pick someone in the median of your range.

    If your local municipal entity, city or county etc, has worked with them, that would be phenomenal but those often don’t do private homeowners for clients.

    Best of luck.

  • …Elections? After his next term? Would you put your life on the line to guarantee we will have any?

    And on that chance we don’t…

    Could you console me in the labor camps or take my breath away with your strategies before the gas chamber does?

    No. Your social media empathy does not extend to those within your reach. The golden light of your halo is as inert as the neon gas inside it.

    Disrupt as you see fit, create whatever new claims you need and just leave us alone to our death then. I will not play your game. I will not assist in any form, a Trump election victory.

    Yes this is close to my route as well. 90’s and 2000’s webcomics (Penny Arcade, Megatokyo, Looking For Group, Ctrl Alt Delete) and sprite comics (Bob and George), then to Manga Scanlations, Anime fan subs then Manwha, and the occasional Manhua. Currently destroying my neurons by wading through Isekai manga and Regression Manwha power or revenge fantasy nonsense.

    But thinking back, those were fun days. The fun continues of course, just have to keep panning for new gold with new authors.
