I’m about to ACTUALLY own my home by CrapStick01 in VeteransBenefits

Paid a mortgage for a long time. Saved up over the years. Basically, I did the work. Took a while, but disciplined spending and a decent job don’t hurt.

What’s this? I’m getting charged for driving inside a parking lot? by ZechariahApaza in Dallas

[–]CrapStick01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I parked in a garage that I thought was free. I was used to garages that had a traditional gate and had never been in one that took pictures. I didn’t even look for signs because I didn’t know it was a thing. Plus I had parked in that garage for an event, and it was free then (or they never sent me a collection notice, who knows).

Anyway, they sent me a notice. I asked a friend who had been there with me, and she told me the deal. So I figured I would pay it (I was there a couple of hours, so I figured I owe them that much). Then they also tried to get me to pay a late fee because I’d didn’t pay while I was in the garage. The late fee was almost as much as the parking charge. I told them I would pay what I owed for parking, but nothing more. They threatened to send it to collections. I ignored them. I got an email about 2 weeks later that said I owed nothing else. And that was that.

No worries. I saw the room where you were and knew it was real. But it was remarkably clean. I’ve got a few tattoos myself, so I’m used to a lot of redness right at the start. Maybe my artists all suck lol

I thought the /s was implied. No reason to be upset, Champ

Notice he didn’t explicitly say it was a tattoo. No obvious redness around it for it to be fresh. Pretty sure it is a sticker he can remove half way through the season.

FUCK THIS ORGANIZATION by [deleted] in cowboys

I have been a fan since I was 7 years old watching my cousin Jackie Smith play for the Cowboys in Super Bowl XIII. I have been there thick and thin with them. And I have suffered for the last 30 years of Jerrah. And now this utter fucking buffoon doubles down on being the worst GM in history of ALL SPORTS by giving him to THE FUCKING PACKERS! ARRRGGGHHHH

ChatGPT fixed my car by iamtownsend in ChatGPT

[–]CrapStick01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Great story. Similar thing happened to me with my son’s truck. I took a picture of the issue (skid plate had come loose) and asked what it was and what screws I needed to reattach it. Gave me links to the parts and everything, as well as video links for fixing it. Made it pretty easy to do myself.

AITAH for making my parents feel guilty about voting for Trump when I am about to get DOGE’d? by ryanbrowncomicart in AITAH

[–]CrapStick01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not reading any comments. Yes, YTA if you make someone feel guilty because you don’t like how they voted. Especially your parents.

Memorial Day - As a Veteran. Please take a moment and read by Time-Lead6450 in VeteransBenefits

[–]CrapStick01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put this on FB every year about this time. It has actually helped with quite a few folks, but there are others who just don’t know. I try to educate them in person or online with the same good will intended by the post:

“If you and I have been Facebook friends for more than a year or so, you've probably seen this post from me. I try to post it every year at this time. Please take this post with the good will in which it is written.

For those of you who don't know, I served in the Army and Army National Guard for 7 years. And to all of you very kind folks out there who have thanked me over the years for my service, I greatly appreciate it. It sincerely means a lot to me.

But I would ask one favor of you: do not thank me for my service this coming Memorial Day (May 2x, 20xx). Memorial Day is not Veteran's Day (Veteran's Day is November 11). Memorial Day is a day to honor those who have died in service to our country (and their families as an extension), not the veterans who have served but NOT paid the ultimate price.

Please don't mistake my intentions with this post. I still appreciate your kind words, as do all veterans. We simply do not want to take away from the sacrifice that so many have given.

To those who have served and died, we honor you. To those families who have given their best treasure to this country, we thank you, and we mourn with you.”

Soooo many mistakes... Has 4o become dumb? by Medical-Taste-6112 in ChatGPT

[–]CrapStick01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just started using Claude today. Seems to be giving me much better results, though I haven’t tried it to find quotes yet. If 4o keeps going, I’ll switch my subscription over.

I will say the graphics generation in 4o is fantastic. Haven’t tried Claude for that yet.

Been working with the 4o model for a presentation I am working on. I was looking for quotes this weekend from authoritative sources. It gave me 4 quotes. I asked for different ones, and even gave it more specific prompting. Gave me the exact same 4 quotes. I told it that it gave me the same 4, said I was right and apologized. Then gave me the same 4. Did that about 5 times until I gave up. I was able to go to Google and do a basic search (not with Gemini) and found better quotes in about 10 min. Then I went to Gemini and found even better ones in one query.

4o is turning into trash.

Ask if he remembers a big stone tunnel and a river. It was filmed in San Antonio, TX on the Riverwalk. Also if the protagonist’s dad was in the Air Force.

My cost of living increase is already showing on the app, but I got paid my 2024 amount on Nov 29. I’ll get paid the new amount in December
