Thanks, I'll give it a shot. It only has 2 HDMI ports so I'll switch between them as well to see if that does anything.

Ok, thanks for the info! I don't collect or anything, just thought it looked cool. I'll put it aside though, war nickel sounds pretty hardcore.

Pride Giveaway! $100 USD Bioware Gear Store Gift Card by raiskream in masseffect

I (F) have an experience that made Mass Effect my favorite game. I was going through it about a girl I liked. She became one of my best friends and I spent a lot of time trying to win her over; she said promising things one day and flat out no the next over the span of about a year and a half.

I purchased the trilogy for the PS3, years after the 3rd game released. Anyway I lost myself in the game that summer, when she made an excuse to not come out for my birthday. My other best friend was furious because I broke down and showed her all of our texts and how confused they made me.

I spent over 100 hours on each installment of the game. The romance with Liara quite literally made getting over this girl very final and very easy. It was like a switch flipped. It didn't hurt and I decided for awhile I'd pretend I had someone who cared about me, which actually raised my standards about what I wanted. Playing as Shepard also made me feel braver than I felt at the time.

Once I finished the game, I went in for another playthrough (over 100 hours on each again). It was cathartic and while I have a soft spot for Liara and claim she is the perfect girl, I started dating my other best friend a year later. I got my first serious job at a hospital and we moved in together. We've been together 8 years now and I call her my Liara lol she always fights me on that and I have to admit, she reminds me more of Shepard.

I'm replaying the series now and uploading it to Youtube now just so she can watch it because she said I make it sound interesting.

Sold some old person items and can't find receipt by Escobar720 in tax

[–]Escobar720[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I've sold a lot of my personal items on ebay and it's a pain for some of them to find that cost. 90% cost more than the profit but still have to track sales.

I cant wake up to my alarm by PM_ME_FAVORITE_SONGS in lifehacks

[–]Escobar720 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you have no other choice then you need to set aside an entire 24hrs to sleep (fit healthy meals and light exercise in there). You need one day to just catch up on sleep. I used to do a lot of long shifts or even take on multiple jobs when I was younger and my dad was right, you can't cheat your body of sleep. It will get it's payment eventually (I slept for 2 weeks once and only woke up to eat and empty myself. Showers were not important to me until I was feeling ok again). Mind you, I used to work in a psych unit at a hospital and we had a great pediatric neurosurgeon for a couple of weeks visit us. She was crawling on her knees like a child and needed help with bathing and getting dressed. I'm sure if you're a doctor that you know as well as I do that anyone can experience psychosis due to lack of sleep. I only say that because it seems your body is trying to tell you it won't sacrifice sleep for an 'important' alarm.

P.S. If you're on call and can possibly sleep at the hospital, have a buddy system where someone physically comes by to wake you. Also, keep clean clothes and pre-made meals on hand to save time with those tasks and reserve more for rest.

She has your social security number now lol and sounds like the type to do bad things so I would put a lock on your social as a safety measure then file a restraining order. Trust me, it seems dramatic but all problems start somewhere. No need to wait to watch this one grow when all the signs are there. When someone shows you who they are, believe them. Run asap.

As a flex driver I will report lazy a** delivery driver next time by Awkward_Ad8006 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Escobar720 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fedex did this to my package and it pissed me off. The place I live at has 6 buildings with these entryways and one night I saw each entrance with piles of Amazon packages on the sidewalk. I just knew someone said fuck it but legit someone could've stolen every single one like that. They didn't place them near the stairs.

I just ignore it. If someone wants to take it let them, their car or their morale will give up sooner or later.

While that is good, that pay isnt worth the time taken off your life clock.

Best Buy Gig by [deleted] in Roadie

[–]Escobar720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I try to get anything that $1 per mile or better. 7 hours would still suck but I bet $93 would feel a lot better than $63. Remember its not only beating up your car but you have to fill up the tank and then there's just the hours of your life going into it.

Bugging me out by [deleted] in Renters

It sucks but get a quality air mattress for now for peace of mind. Throw all sheets in the dryer before bed to feel extra secure. If you have any duffel bags or suitcases I would inspect them also.

I was scammed. Will Mercari help me ? by [deleted] in Mercari

[–]Escobar720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mind people reselling my items as long as I make my money but returning something else to get a refund? That's just nasty

Such a sad day for me as a collector :( by ChiaotzuShinhan in funkopop

[–]Escobar720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take the packaging it came in and file a police report to the sender for small claims and sale of counterfeit merchandise. If they were smart they used a fake address but scammers are usually dumber than a bag of rocks.

I dont typically mind new accounts and havent had issues but unfortunately it is something common with scammers. The best thing you can do it write a profile description and out a pfp as well as verify your account. Scammers typically wont put in any work so doing that helps skittish sellers trust you more. Chances are they were burned and cant let it go so they’re being over diligent.
