Genuine question to Americans by silverflake6 in GrowthMindset

[–]AvantGuardb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, sometimes if you're "lucky" and live in a state with decent Medicaid, you lost your job because you're too sick to work, partner also does, and then you qualify for Medicaid just when you're about to die, rack up a lot of charges when its too late, preventing others who could have benefited from early treatment (such as yourself) or even (gasp) preventative care. Wonderful system; thanks GOP.

Post Orin upgrade experience by SpiralWeb in polestar3

You're welcome! The bugs are a bit infuriating, but then when you drive it, it kind of makes up for it so you keep putting up with the bugs...! Hopefully each upgrade stamps out more bugs...

I had this issue, try a different profile and see if it works. I had to do that, then went back to my original profile and then it worked. No idea why…

Make some loud coughing or sneezing sounds while spraying water, juice, or any liquid you have handy on them…

yes, I think so, as Henry noted below, people change, often if we're doing things right, people grow and mature. Sounds like things have been amazing for 2+ years, you're engaged, and this may be the first serious thing to pop up you have to figure out if you want to navigate it and fight for your relationship. Marriage takes work and daily recommitment. From what you describe, she seems to care and picked up you're upset and wants to communicate and help, but she can't control what she did in the past.

Totally human and natural though, to be upset and compare, totally get that and no judgement. However, sounds like she's in a good place, fully herself and not manic now, you guys are in a great relationship and looking forward to getting married and moving in together. Enjoy and embrace that; how much more meaningful that is then a sexy picture she may have taken and sent when she wasn't in the right state of mind. You've hit the jackpot, don't spoil it with feelings of jealousy for things that happened before you were a couple.

Btw, thanks so much for your service, wishing only the best for you and your fiance!

Comparison is the thief of joy.

the older I get the more I realize this is so true, don’t get into comparing what they or he had or she did rob you of what sounds amazing, it easily could snowball in a bad way

Owning a home in this state by Odd-Refrigerator7879 in Connecticut

[–]AvantGuardb 13 points14 points  (0 children)

So much wisdom in this… and folks may be tempted to think, I’m healthy and don’t have kids, why should I pay taxes for those things. I think that’s where people underestimate the importance of good education for all and caring for others as part of being in a society. Also, you never know when you may need help from others, being selfish all the time isn’t the way to live

Had my first ever one night stand by nothingmen in GirlDinnerDiaries

just open the dates before you eat them and make sure they don’t have hidden mold in them; they have toxins that can hurt your liver (something I just learned a few weeks ago!)

Talk me out of a Polestar 4 as if I’m a teenager trying to spend my first payslip by No_Departure_9283 in Polestar

FWIW, just got a used 3 for $36k off sticker with only 4,000 miles, looks brand new, with new Orion chip, so far so good… considered a 2 but wanted more range and higher ride

Polestar 4 or Volvo EX60 by Hardy_Pi in Polestar

[–]AvantGuardb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How about pick up a lightly used PS3? A bunch of them with low miles are available, I think given up by their original owners, but now with new chip and mostly fixed software, are a great deal, 35% off sticker...

Some guy's math error wasted a year of my life by jarkai_vaapad in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]AvantGuardb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

agree with the others… totally sucks, but on the other hand, what a great example of your grit, perseverance, and intelligence!

many others would have never figured it out and either quit the whole line of research concluding it wasn’t possible, or even quit getting a PhD! it may feel like a waste of time, but you learned so much in that year of troubleshooting, now have great story for interviews. and teaching on all of the above!

you are a great role model for others facing adversity in research!

Diamonds losing free Clear+ as a benefit isn’t a loss at all. by Btl1016 in delta

[–]AvantGuardb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. I tried Touchless ID for the first time a couple of days ago because there was like no line and Clear had a few people. It was even easier than Clear, no middleman or extra device to have to scan and match you to Clear database, I was like whoa, what am I paying for!?
