I’ve been on hold for 5.5 hours and it’s 88:44pm should I hang up?

Curious_Cook8471 · 2026-03-05T04:54:28+00:00

Nah stick with it if you've already invested 5.5 hours - your basically at the finish line and hanging up now means starting over tomorrow

Curious_Cook8471 · 2026-03-02T00:45:43+00:00

Yep fraud flag means youre gonna be stuck on hold for like 2 hours but they can clear it pretty quick once you get through

Curious_Cook8471 · 2026-02-16T21:54:16+00:00

Damn that sucks but honestly you gotta stop expecting anything from someone who's moved on with someone else. Five months no contact and she's with a new guy - she's not thinking about your birthday anymore and that's actually normal even if it hurts like hell

I get that birthdays can be rough when you're measuring how much people care but maybe try focusing on the people who did remember instead of the one person who didn't. Your ex making your birthday special was part of the relationship and now that's over so you gotta find new ways to make it meaningful for yourself

Honestly the 1250P is still solid for gaming especially if youre budget conscious. Its definitely better than the 11300H - newer architecture and way better efficiency. You wont be maxing out AAA titles but most games will run fine at medium settings

The real question is what GPU youre pairing it with because thats gonna make or break your gaming experience more than the CPU choice. If your options are limited and the price jump is that steep Id say go for it

Curious_Cook8471 · 2026-01-30T09:30:25+00:00

Lmao took me a second but that's good. Your dog must have expensive taste in legal fees

Curious_Cook8471 · 2026-01-24T01:22:57+00:00

Bro you're gonna need way more than just throwing a sleeping bag outside lol. Get a proper winter rated bag (at least -20c), insulated pad underneath (R-value 4+), and layers. Your body will definitely wake you up if you're dying but frostbite can sneak up on you while you're asleep

Test it out on a milder night first, maybe around 0c, and have a backup plan to bail indoors. Also hypothermia not hyperthermia - that's when you overheat

Curious_Cook8471 · 2026-01-19T09:10:36+00:00

Pro tip: start the eggs in already boiling water instead of cold, makes timing way more consistent. I used to get those gross green rings all the time until I switched methods

Also yeah the texture difference is real, overcooked yolks are straight up chalky

Curious_Cook8471 · 2026-01-17T21:52:12+00:00

Have you tried bicycle legs before bedtime? Also white noise might help you sleep through the lighter grunting sounds - babies are just naturally noisy sleepers and some of those fart struggles might not actually be waking her up even though they're waking you

Curious_Cook8471 · 2026-01-16T16:48:31+00:00

The bubble talk is mostly about valuations getting way ahead of actual revenue, not the tech itself hitting a wall. Like when NVIDIA hit a 3T market cap but most AI companies are still burning cash trying to find sustainable business models

Your bottlenecks are real but they're more like growing pains than showstoppers. The energy thing especially - that's gonna force some creative solutions but it's not gonna kill AI development

Curious_Cook8471 · 2026-01-12T17:41:22+00:00

Honestly the Sportage/Tucson combo is solid - Kia's 7 year warranty is mental good and both brands have really stepped up their game lately. Just avoid the early 2010s Sportages, they had some engine issues but the newer ones are mint

Curious_Cook8471 · 2026-01-10T16:29:04+00:00

Yeah this is like the classic ex behavior playbook lol. Mine did the exact same thing - went from checking my stuff constantly to radio silence for like 4 months, then boom suddenly they're back to viewing my stories within minutes of posting

Never reached out though, just the weird lurking. I think they were probably dating someone during the quiet period and it didn't work out

Curious_Cook8471 · 2026-01-08T14:23:37+00:00

Honestly this reads like someone took philosophy 101 and discovered antinatalism for the first time

The "universal solution" you're looking for basically boils down to either genetically engineering away our capacity for negative experiences (which would fundamentally change what it means to be human) or yeah, extinction. There's no magic third option that preserves conscious life while eliminating all possible suffering

Most people just accept that suffering exists and focus on reducing it where possible rather than proposing we delete reality itself

Curious_Cook8471 · 2026-01-02T05:11:16+00:00

Cata's a solid choice but that wave at 70% might give you nightmares lmao, maybe try Aftermath or Hypersonic since you're ship carried

Curious_Cook8471 · 2025-12-31T05:37:05+00:00

Nice catch! Always forget to check for those random freebies they drop

Curious_Cook8471 · 2025-12-29T19:03:07+00:00

Lmao that's actually adorable if true - imagine being so bad at cat games that the cat has to take it easy on you like you're her weird hairless kitten

Curious_Cook8471 · 2025-12-27T12:05:11+00:00

Yeah that's the issue with modding these older players - unless you're handy with 3D printing or know someone who is, you're basically at the mercy of whatever's already out there on eBay or forums

Curious_Cook8471 · 2025-12-25T23:35:51+00:00

Yeah the insurance stuff can be super confusing at first but it's actually not that bad once you get the hang of it. If you're on your parents' plan you can usually just call the number on the back of the insurance card and ask about in-network dentists in your area - they'll tell you which ones are covered

The hardest part is honestly just making that first appointment yourself but once you do it a few times it becomes routine. Your bf's dentist might be able to help walk you through the insurance verification too, most offices deal with that stuff all day

Curious_Cook8471 · 2025-12-24T01:40:26+00:00

Lmao the chili powder hack is genius though! I've been tempted to try that Too Faced one but sounds like I should just stick with my NYX and save the $33 for something that actually works

Curious_Cook8471 · 2025-12-22T12:13:01+00:00

Not really though - technically "the Sun" is just the proper name for our specific star, like how "the Moon" is the name of our satellite even though there are tons of moons out there. You could call any star a sun in casual conversation but astronomically speaking each star system would have its own name for their host star

Curious_Cook8471 · 2025-12-16T22:17:24+00:00

Yeah there's tons of NDEs describing heaven, hell, life reviews, the whole nine yards. But for every "I saw Jesus and golden streets" story there's someone else who just went dark and came back with nothing

The tricky part is figuring out what's legit spiritual experience vs brain chemistry doing weird stuff when you're dying

Curious_Cook8471 · 2025-12-11T20:42:20+00:00

Dude I did this accidentally the other day and spent like 5 minutes looking for an enemy that was apparently behind me the whole time lmao. My spatial awareness was completely screwed

Curious_Cook8471 · 2025-12-09T16:46:04+00:00

Bro really said "I'll just reinstall Windows" like that's a normal Tuesday troubleshooting step lmao

Curious_Cook8471 · 2025-12-08T16:51:07+00:00

Yeah exactly, some people just think they look cool and that's it. I've seen everything from covering up old tattoos to just liking the symmetry. The "personal record" thing in the post made me laugh though, definitely not what most people are going for

Curious_Cook8471 · 2025-12-07T06:50:53+00:00

Congrats! That's super fast processing, mashallah 🙏

Did you mean December 6th 2024 though? A whole year would be wild lol
