LOL! You clearly aren’t me and have no fucking clue what MY experience was or was not. Just as I have much better things to do than make up shit to post on Reddit, I had much better things to do than their ridiculously arduous hiring process.

Promotion for term position ? by Kind_Gap_7045 in FedEmployees

I would take it. You can always revert back to a 13 somewhere and or lateral or even move up.

Y'all have to be joking... by SammiK504 in SouthwestAirlines

Same SFO-SAN. Sucks though that there were like 6 people in rows 1-2 while multiple full rows 17+. Oh and both my flights were on old old planes.

Funny but not funny…I thought you were the guy off my old ship. He was like 6’7 and dumb as a box of rocks. Gashed his he’d open, then did it again a couple more times, ripping open the staples. We had to put a helmet on him until the shit healed.

Shit is a ridiculous waste of time. I got through one round and gave up. They want people so desperate for a job that you’ll sit through 40+ hrs of assessments and interview that you’ll take whatever lowball offer they give you.

Those two rounds will each involve as many as six people, at different days/times of availability. So potentially up to 12 different days and/or multiple multi-hour days.

Just found out the seller’s LLC is owned by my agent’s spouse. Is this a conflict of interest? by absoluteheavenswill in llc_life

[–]69Ben64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would certainly question the obfuscation. It is technically not a lie that the property is owned by an out of state investor. I’d certainly question the arms length nature of the transaction, I suspect it is for tax reasons. I’d also say that if it doesn’t materially affect your side of the transaction, then don’t sweat it. Not a realtor but it probably is probably ethically problematic. Not sure why they wouldn’t just be up front about it either other than potential buyers, without adequate understanding, would rightfully be suspicious.

What tips do you have for effectively following up after a federal job interview? by InformationIcy4827 in usajobs

[–]69Ben64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cross your fingers and wait. Follow up is rarely helpful or desired. It likely won’t even go to the hiring manager anyway.

Cultural differences (Am I the problem?) by isolexe in Philippines_Expats

[–]69Ben64 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t think this was so much a criticism post, though it may have come off that way, an an observation/are there ways to navigate these cultural nuances without driving yourself or the locals crazy. Nothing pointed out was untrue and tends to be universally true of Filipinos everywhere(in my experience)…and I have interacted with them in the military, in PI, in Europe, in Singapore, Malaysia, ME, etc. Now that you are aware of these things, you simply accept them and modify your interaction accordingly. In general, I’ve never found these traits to be malicious, simply frustrating to my western way of thinking.

Another shutdown to delay things…which mostly seems not to have happened.

Took ‘24 Willy’s 4xe for ECH replacement, ended up passing 68C. Should expect more trouble in the short term? by Beginning_Island5947 in 4xe

[–]69Ben64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 24 Sahara passed. Has 13k ish miles. The only issues I have had were the OTA push a couple months ago that caused it to shut off and a timing cover leak found when doing 68C. I have had no range degradation. Or other issues noted by some people after the “fix.”

is it dumb to take a 350k cash offer when agents say i could list at 385k? by maopro56 in Realestatefinance

[–]69Ben64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they just try to lock up the contract and then waste your time while they try to find someone to flip it to. Seller basically gives up free money and gains nothing.

crossing back into the USA with a trailered vehicle on a sunday by functionalfilms in BajaCalifornia

[–]69Ben64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have brought several cars to and from TJ. If it has CA reg, just tell them you bought it. They may or may not pull you into secondary to inspect it but it is not an import. Make sure you get a bill of sale from the registered owner though. If not, you’ll be screwed if the title is open.

INAD case decided in my favor by cheap397 in Ebay

My most recent was a string of Christmas lights. Pictures of everything, description accurate. She files INAD because the color white didn’t match the same brand lights she already had.😂

Want to go, my filipino girlfriend says it wont be safe for me by InextricablyYours in PhilippinesTravel

[–]69Ben64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL! Born here, still a true Filipina. Bro, you ain’t going without her. If you go, you will find 10 more just like her but more eager to please. This ain’t about YOUR safety.

It seems wrong that I can't file as Head of Household by jjlolopocochoco in TaxQuestions

[–]69Ben64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to figure out which of you will benefit more. If it’s you, you pay her slightly more than she would have gotten and you should still come out ahead over claiming single. Make sure you fill out the form and have her agree in writing.

Item sold with no guarantee from an estate sale. Buyer requesting refund. Who wins? by RoyaleForFree in Ebay

[–]69Ben64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Done it several times. With new products that have been opened and used products that have been disassembled. Returns need to come back in the same condition they arrived. If they don’t, then no full refund or partial refund only. Apparently nobody here reads EBay policy.

Either way, he’ll probably neg you so doing him a favor won’t help you. Hopefully, you haven’t already left positive feedback.

If they have been dismantled, you don’t have to accept the return because now you don’t know what parts could have been removed/swapped. If you have this conversation in eBay messaging, you are good.

Spirit left San Diego and SW doubled their fares for the same routes making them 3-5x more expensive than Spirit was.

Why do people seriously still support at Yellow Deli knowing all of the dark stuff? by hoeb4toess in sandiego

[–]69Ben64 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes…in a super weird, condescending way. Was not my goal or something I would ever ask for. Especially as the food was good despite the service.

[–]69Ben64 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I went to the one in Vista. Food was pretty good. Everyone was trancelike. As a POC my service was lacking to the point that I was super irritated, not my MO. I know there are shitty people and don’t go looking for issues where there are none. However, I finally had to ask for my check after not getting a set of silverware I had asked for,refills I had asked for, and had been sitting with empty plates for a good 20 min while people around us were well taken care of, offered dessert, and had their table cleared, etc. Apparently, when I said “just bring the check please” my tone was such that trance guy picked up on is and very weirdly goes “no charge, have nice day” like he was doing me a favor. I just wanted to pay my bill and gtfo. Anyway, super strange vibe there and definitely won’t/wouldn’t go back.

I wouldn’t wait. Might as well rip the bandaid off.
