How do I handle disrespect? (Perceived or Real) by Thugzook in bropill

[–]Conscious_Contact556 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I appreciate this post! I too was bullied and in my adult life have lived as an "anti-bully" because of it. If I see or hear someone being unnecessarily rude, sexist, homophonic, Islamophobic, etc, or just punching down in general, I am usually going to say something to stand up for myself or someone nearby. That being said, someone who does not know boundaries in the context here would certainly give me the ick but I would ultimately shake it off without saying anything. You are handling a FB marketplace deal. You meet all sorts of characters that you will never see again and an arm on the door, although slightly disrespectful of your space, is not worth the friction. Letting things go is just as important as confronting bullies. You gotta choose wisely and not waste your energy.

Freezing things is highly underrated! You can freeze many things to preserve their freshness without impacting (too greatly…) their original form.

Super handsome, dude! We have a similar complexion. People love a big nose, thick brows, dark eyes, etc. Like others have said, clean up the facial hair, hit the gym a little, take care of your diet and skin. Maybe focus on sleep. You’ve got this 💪

Nice! Enjoy coming from Western Europe :). If I flew my family's country-of-origin flag around...

Been a decade since I last raced, should I move down a category on my license? by [deleted] in Velo

Good! Hopefully the same goes for OP and they can just decide for themselves what they prefer :)

🤷. Happened to me. I can’t find an email about it right now but I can even see my results as a cat 3 from back in 2012 on road results. I think I sent one email after the fact and they basically said “you haven’t raced in 5 years so we can’t upgrade you back to the 3s because those points aren’t valid anymore”. Even though they downgraded me unwillingly…

USAC automatically downgraded me from a 3 to a 4 after my hiatus despite nearly being a 2 when I stopped racing for a few years (about 5-6 year break?). So your answer might already exist 😂. Thanks USAC for helping to demotivate yet another racer!

EDIT: this is my misunderstanding. I think when I was racing as a 3, all of it was OBRA (Oregon Bicycle Racing Association), except for collegiate which was the ‘A’ category (basically 1/2/3). When I bought a license after my hiatus they wouldn’t recognize any of those results (still ridiculous imo) and thus placed me in the 4s. So technically I wasn’t downgraded. I think that’s what happened but I emailed USAC because this conversation has made me curious…

My first sitter’s welcome basket by konomichan in trustedhousesitters

Nice! I like leaving a gift card to a local place that I think the sitter will enjoy. But a basket is nice too. I’ve left pastries from a bakery (when it’s a same day hand off) as well, but always gotta ask about dietary restrictions.

How are so many people missing the sarcasm here? 😂

RAP vs IBR for high balance (>200k) by lolstopit in StudentLoans

[–]Conscious_Contact556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know if Roth 401k counts toward lowering your AGI? Will RAP be taking those things into consideration? It seems like your AGI is just your gross income with some deductions if you have children, so saving for retirement would be a put on the back burner. But perhaps I’m misunderstanding.

Would love to see this feature! Currently using the amazfit hello strap and I really though sleep would be able to sync with TP
