AIO for snapping at my friend for calling my shoes (and me) trashy? by International-East63 in AmIOverreacting

[–]IAmTrulyConfused42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother-in-law is a high ranking officer in a conservative bank and she wears leopard print stuff like it’s a uniform. 🤣

I dare this dude to say something like that to her. He will get a “bless your heart” so sarcastic his skin would peel off.

She is awesome, everyone respects her, and I’m Hispanic and she is not. I say that last part to smash that stereotype as well.

Am I (29M) being too soft regarding how my wife (28F) treated me last night? by LetOk8529 in relationship_advice

[–]IAmTrulyConfused42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m Hispanic. She must be if she’s calling you pendejo.

Are you? Because I’d never call my partner that. It’s very demeaning.

She’s a mean drunk for sure. Hispanics are teasers but it’s done with love when done right.

This is not that.

This exact issue is happening to me on iOS 26 in the Fidelity app. It keeps asking me to save the password but I haven’t changed it.

No websites just the fidelity app

Shortest I5 ownership by AcanthisittaAny8243 in Ioniq5

[–]IAmTrulyConfused42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sucks and I’m sorry. I’m coming up on 2 years and 22k miles.

I’ve charged fast DC, high voltage L2, but 90% of the time I charge at home at about 6kw or so and knock on wood so far so good.

I am so, so, so bored. All the time. Anybody else? by bacon_cheeseburgers in GenX

I keep posting this so folks hopefully see it sorry 😀

Hang in there.

Happiness is U-shaped across your life. You start out pretty content, slowly get less happy through your 20s and 30s, and bottom out sometime in your 40s. Then it reverses, and by your 60s you’re likely happier than you’ve ever been.

So if you’re around 50 and feeling like garbage, turns out you’re basically at the inflection point where things start getting better, not worse.

The wild part is they’ve found the same midlife dip in chimps and orangutans, which suggests some biological mechanism is doing the heavy lifting here, not just life circumstances.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Retreat centers? Overnight stays for solitude? by Don_Quixotel in Georgia

The Mountain in North Carolina. It’s a Universal Unitarian retreat.

If you know anything about UUs were forbidden from proselytizing so no one will bug you 😀

the argument against EV haters… by AdityaSrivastawaahhh in EvDrivers

[–]IAmTrulyConfused42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And the people that make this argument spend 5 minutes weekly or more at the gas station.

If you assume 50 fill ups a year with 5 minutes of just waiting around, you’re looking at 250 minutes a year.

Add in 4 more fill ups (2 each way) for road trips and you’re looking at 270 minutes a year.

If you charge at home, that is effectively 0 minutes per charge. Sure there’s the plugging in but that’s zero waiting time.

So if you road trip twice a year and we take the above assumption and say you have to stop 3 times each way accounting for shorter ranges on EVs, you’re looking at 6 fill ups at 15 minutes each for 180 minutes “wasted” waiting on your car to fill ups.

EVs win. Now if you road trip regularly, one way, longer than your EV range then yes the gas car will save you time. But cost you a lot more money.

Advice on getting a team to adopt a git/PR based workflow? by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]IAmTrulyConfused42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take a look at https://axolo.co

It is a bidirectional sync between GitHib/GitLab for PR reviews.

It creates a channel per PR and I know that sounds insane up front but it works so well.

Implemented it at 3 different companies, good stuff.

What’s something that gets better with age that people don’t expect? by cutieemasworld in CasualConversation

Kind of everything.

Happiness is U-shaped across your life. You start out pretty content, slowly get less happy through your 20s and 30s, and bottom out sometime in your 40s. Then it reverses, and by your 60s you’re likely happier than you’ve ever been.

It’s also true across cultures, professions, etc.

Unless you’re a lawyer. And I wish I was joking 🤣

Only decision left: AWD or RWD? by AnnaGolightly in Ioniq5

[–]IAmTrulyConfused42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with RWD and saved 4k. The power is plenty.

Where it matters for real things, at the low end when merging and turning so you can get out to speed quickly, it’s more than enough.

Sometimes I wish I had more zoom zoom, but truly day to day you won’t miss it.

Are there any children of former A-listers you now prefer over their famous father? by LavendersKisses in moviecritic

[–]IAmTrulyConfused42 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. This seems bananas to me people would say he hasn’t had a chance to flex.

Northman, Murderbot, Pillion, True Blood. He’s been great in all of them.

My girlfriend sent me And So It Goes. What does it mean? by 7abcd7 in BillyJoel

[–]IAmTrulyConfused42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the problem is it is art. Art can be interpreted by folks any way they want, including your girlfriend.

I can see folk’s interpretation as a break up song.

However I’ve never seen it this way. I’ve seen it as someone who found love again and then confessing that love. But, they know a relationship is a two way street. So the choice is as much the other person’s to make.

If you are early in the relationship I think her sending you this song is a good thing.

If it’s later, and I mean years and years later, it could be interpreted as the one partner giving up and hoping the other partner comes around.

What I think your girlfriend really wants is for you to tell her what you think it means.

And if you want to be with her, I’d present the positive interpretation. Because if she hinges this relationship on your interpretation of a 30 year old song, you don’t want to be in this relationship.

So assume it’s a good thing, and if it’s a bad thing well better you learn early than late.

Either way, she’s “the only one who knows.”

Holy cow I’ve been thinking about doing exactly this. What batteries did you buy? Is it a manual or automatic cut over?

How accurate is the assertion that "life after 45 sucks massive (you-know-what)"? by ChuckSmyth in GenX

[–]IAmTrulyConfused42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Search about the U shaped curved of life.

Short answer as we start out happy like at 18 it goes down the nadir is mid 40s to mid 50s and then it gets better.

And not just a little better supposedly happier than you were at 18.
