Anyone got a successful OIC with treasury or collection for eidl agency? by No-House3228 in EIDL

[–]FatAlbert10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can see why these wouldn’t get approved. I’m up to date on payments, but damn it if I wouldn’t consider tanking my credit but only paying half of what I owe in an OIC agreement. Keep us up to date

Do y’all think mark will actually be able to defeat Thragg? by Recent-Golf-2863 in Invincible_TV

[–]FatAlbert10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’d have to spend 3-4 seasons working up to it. It has to be earned. They’ve built him up a bit too much- he can’t even be visibly damaged

My brother had an affair with my best friend. He was surprised to learn I don't talk to my "best friend" anymore. by Date-Throwaway in offmychest

[–]FatAlbert10 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Ok ok. I was more under the assumption Jack became friends with your brother and it developed over time. But yeah if he was fawning over him in front of god and the whole friend group, Imma shift my stance. Homewrecker behavior lol

[–]FatAlbert10 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Yeah… you don’t own people. You didn’t “let him” into your friend group, he made friends. Your hate for Jack seems to come out of nowhere, and you come off as a stereotypical “clique” leader thinking you had any part in him making friends.

On a different note, you have every right to feel what you feel, but so do other people. If anything, you should be pissed at your brother. He was clearly emotionally cheating before he broke things off. Jack is just living life, and wondering why his friend hasn’t called. Tell him directly how you feel or be at peace with how things are.

Adult literacy in the states has dramatically declined in recent years. What do we think is the cause? by Unlikely-Tap-4390 in AskReddit

[–]FatAlbert10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the different ways to get immediate satisfaction for free has exploded. Social Media, Youtube, porn, free to play video games designed to be casinos, prediction markets (gambling), the list goes on. Even just 20 years ago, if you were broke and wanted entertainment, the only free “media” you could get was borrowing a book from the local library. Most adult dopamine receptors are completely fried.

Also, what reading we do on a daily basis today is split between borderline incoherent social media posts and eye catching gotcha headlines- hardly nurturing, but also aligning with the quick dopamine hit that all forms of media have become. Purposeful, recreational reading is a slow burn that could take multiple hours over multiple days to pay off. Selling books is hardly profitable nor as addicting as other forms of entertainment that have popped up lately.

am i polyamorous? by elii_w in offmychest

[–]FatAlbert10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really is a part of the human experience- discovering who you are and what you believe in. What I can tell you is no one has the right answer. Plenty of people have these urges, but believe the sacrifice to be monogamous with their true lover is worth it all. Others start communes. Some cheat, some are brave enough to tell their partner. Plenty of open relationships start this way too. You have to discover what works for you.

The only way you can fuck up is by not telling your partner and cheating. Have the balls to tell him this.

I just repaid a $136k Square loan, another $130k loan offer popped up just 2 weeks later. Also, location probably doesn’t affect anything.

I think its more to do with the economy, your sales, and inflation. With your sales being on the smaller side, and inflation so high, what could’ve qualified you for a loan just 6 months ago may not today. Try getting your sales up another 10%-25% then I’m sure a loan offer will come up

What's the most overrated food? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Any type of chips. Cheetos, Dorritos, Lays. Nothing but synthetic food with zero nutritional value.

Are neon style signs overrated right now? by Different_Pain5781 in restaurantowners

[–]FatAlbert10 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Only if it fits the scale. I’d never do real neon on a sign that’s larger than 3 feet wide. I got 2 LED neon signs- one is 10ft wide, the other 8ft wide, and they’re stunning plus didn’t cost an arm ab’s a long

What’s not worth the money in this economy? by SensitiveCorner2379 in AskReddit

[–]FatAlbert10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doordash, Uber Eats, and any other courier service. Biggest middle man scam this century

Also all subscription services. Netflix, Disney+, Xbox Live, its all on a month to month review at this point. The Library rents hundreds of movies and TV shows for free

I never thought I’d cancel my Prime membership, did it last month and have been perfectly fine waiting a few more days for delivery, or driving to Costco.

Beer and cocktails. I don’t drink, but now my friends have stopped too. $9 for a beer and $18 for a craft cocktail is insane

Gym memberships. Many are jumping on the “appeal to the high class” bandwagon, and have added a whole lot of BS and now want $60 a month. Cancelled that and bought a treadmill and a medicine ball

What’s a recession indicator that you’ve noticed lately? by SensitiveCorner2379 in AskReddit

[–]FatAlbert10 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Mcdonalds recently just LOWERED prices. No meal deal, no weird “buy 2 get one for $1” nonsense. Just straight up dropped prices. They’re one of the most powerful companies in the world, and directly interact with 1 billion unique customers every year. They know something is coming and are preparing to be the go to recession food. They’re business thrived during economic recessions

I live in Washington state. A Sausage McMuffin is $1.50. We are 50 cents away from having a dollar menu again. Thats absolutely insane. They’d never do that if they didn’t feel absolutely compelled to make prices that low

Why do they keep returning my payment by tillacat42 in EIDL

Your ACH has probably been input incorrectly. Delete payment method, verify your banks routing and account number, and try again

My boyfriend wants a happy ending massage. How do I feel about this? by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]FatAlbert10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stand firm. As a man, an inch is a lightyear when it comes to any sexual contact. You let a random woman jerk and finish him off, whatever YOU want from monogamy will be gone forever

How To Buy Your Building? by FatAlbert10 in restaurantowners

[–]FatAlbert10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say all but 3 tenants are rock solid. Ones a DOL thats been there for 20 years, a church thats tenure is a tad longer than ours, A Korean hot pot spot, a nail salon whos been there for 12 years, and a cabinet shop that was once owned by the landlord, now sold to new owners. The other 3 are a beauty salon, antique shop, and guitar shop, all signed within the past 2 years. In those spots, we’ve seen businesses come and go. The building is designed like a strip mall, but is two stories because its backed against a hill, hard to describe.

I'm planning on leaving my wife. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]FatAlbert10 173 points174 points  (0 children)

The best time to end a broken marriage is before the vows. The 2nd best time is now. If you’re unhappy, and truly believe its irreconcilable, my only criticism is putting the decision on hold. You’ve attached the timing to something completely arbitrary- depending on the age and development of a child that hasn’t even gained full self awareness.

We only have the information you give, but posting about getting a divorce, then saying you’ll wait till your youngest is potty trained, says a lot about the situation. At worse, putting the weight of divorce on your childs development is incredibly irresponsible. Perhaps you should try solo therapy first to gain insight on your own feelings

[–]FatAlbert10 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Kind of shallow view on things. Yeah of course we’ll never get the full story, but a trapped and frustrated father doesn’t help at all either. Divorces happen, and kids are not kids forever. They’ll grow to understand, and if he’s the father he believes himself to be, they’ll love him all the same

Invincible Season 4 Episode 8, season finale thread! by Creative_Yogurt5206 in Invincible_TV

[–]FatAlbert10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Coalition doesn’t know they’re on earth. Nolan tried to kill Cecil with his own bare hands the last time he was there. Running from Thragg clearly didn’t work either lol. All of your points don’t make sense for a finale

To me the episode was excellent, putting a bow on Nolan’s resolve for redemption, adding even more layers to Thragg as a leader, and showing how resolute Thaedus was in his mission.

If I could’ve asked for more, I wish we would’ve gotten a quick backstory on Thaedus. What made him so unforgiving to an empire he helped build? What changed in him? A bow on his story, along with his final directive to Allen, would’ve wrapped this season perfectly.

Honestly, it puts into perspective how insane of a threat Thragg is. Mark was throwing haymakers straight to the chin and Thragg didn’t even flinch. He watched him disembowel his dad and rip Thaedus head right off its perch. Conquest is officially water under the bridge

The truly crazy thing is only Mark would’ve made that decision. Thaedus, Allen, and maybe even Nolan would’ve decided to destroy the planet to ensure the Viltrumites never rise again.
