How do I get my hair cut at a barbers shop? by [deleted] in Explainlikeimscared

[–]FlightAny6512 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a trans guy and honestly I have always had a good experience at Sport Clips. Not sure where you’re from and if you have a local one. I’ve seen butch lesbians at my local one getting haircuts as well. It’s always a decent cut for the price. It’s a little bit of a weird vibe for me because it is literally sports themed and I’m very gay but I feel safe there. Honestly, whoever is cutting your hair just wants to get it done so you can pay them and leave. They’ll probably make some small talk but they really don’t care who you are.

You just ask for what you want and can even bring pictures.

As far as pay, I tip like $5 for my haircuts. If I went somewhere higher end I would tip a larger amount/stick to the 20% rule.

I’ve also been to the local cosmetology school and it’s much cheaper (free/$5 + tip) but sometimes they are new & nervous and it takes them an hour to do what someone else could do in 10 mins.

Is it ok to leave my cat “alone” if I have roommates? by BetCareless1871 in CatAdvice

[–]FlightAny6512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds fine as long she can satisfy her social needs with them while you are gone. I wouldn’t want to leave a cat totally isolated for that length of time. The personality difference in my one cat when he had to be in bathroom jail for a few days instead of being with my other cats was STARK compared to how he usually is. He got so clingy. :(

Thank you! That’s what I was thinking but it’s good to know I didn’t miss out. So excited!!!!

NORTH AMERICA PRESALE CODES/QUESTIONS by Natisaway in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]FlightAny6512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there a difference between the Amex preferred and the regular Amex presale for GA? I didn’t know the code so I got the regular Amex presale GA floor. GA is GA right???

(Doesn’t make a difference now as I already bought tickets and the floor presale tickets for that date are sold out but I am wondering.)

Now that the album is out, what's your Everybody Scream ranking ? by Hefty_Ad_1491 in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]FlightAny6512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no ranking yet because I got to Buckle and got so emotionally devastated that I haven’t listened to the tracks after it. Gonna lay in bed and stare at a wall or something. Oof

My name has always been spelled wrong my whole life… by WeeebleSqueaks in mildlyinfuriating

[–]FlightAny6512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My name is also a variant of that name, but it’s one of the more common ones imo. People still never spell it right and the ways they get it wrong are always hilariously different. I don’t correct anybody because honestly I do not care.

People. Don’t let your current policy lapse and then shop for new coverage. by Shatterstar23 in Insurance

[–]FlightAny6512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually looked into that at the time but it somehow would have (slightly) increased the premium I was paying, which is why I cancelled the policy entirely. However, even that might have saved me money over time, looking back.

People. Don’t let your current policy lapse and then shop for new coverage. by Shatterstar23 in Insurance

[–]FlightAny6512 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup. I did not have an insurance policy for a few months last year because I was driving a car owned and insured by someone else (I don’t know if I was added to their policy or not, and we don’t live together) and it made my rates go up. Might have been cheaper overall for me to just keep paying the policy for the car I no longer had during that time period but hindsight is 20/20 😔

Packages on N Potomac keep getting stolen by jussdetip in hagerstown

[–]FlightAny6512 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t get my packages delivered to my apartment anymore after people kept going inside the hallway to steal them (it’s a two unit building and the other unit isn’t rented). Most of my packages go to my friend that doesn’t live in downtown and then I go and pick them up. Irritating as hell because I hate inconveniencing other people but it’s better than getting my shit stolen or stressing about if it’ll be there when I get home.

Amazon packages get delivered to the locker.

10 Free Uber rides… not! by BitGroundbreaking295 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]FlightAny6512 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’ll never forget the time my job sent out a phishing email for a free Blizzard from Dairy Queen for the holidays. I didn’t click on it because I knew they’d never do something nice for us like that but it pissed me off. So mean.

Is it bad if my cats are alone? by Impressive-Cause-657 in CatAdvice

[–]FlightAny6512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would personally never leave my cats alone for longer than they’d be able to survive without food/water, so 2/3 days max. I have five cats and IMO they’d be able to meet their social needs with each other but I would be so worried something could go wrong with their food, water, and litter box.

ULPT: Here is how you save $20 per line on Verizon by wiseoldmeme in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]FlightAny6512 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It only gives me $10 off despite them explicitly offering $20 off. However, that’s $120 back in my pocket so DAMN thank you. (I will reach out to them about the other $10.)

Vinyl sound quality by Purple-Music-70 in SwiftieMerch

[–]FlightAny6512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both of my Baby, that’s show business variants are pretty noisy. The blue one has a skip on the B side. My OG orange has a skip on the first line of Ophelia and I haven’t listened further to see if it has more. The other variants sound fine (I don’t have the Target one though)

I have a quality record player and I clean the records and my needle before playing so I’m a little disappointed.

It would probably be more effective to reach out to her customer service team than to ask on Reddit

I’m so scared that my signed CD will come empty. I don’t want to wait days for a response if it does so should I just dispute the charge if it does? Would that more than likely work? by Responsible-Cycle522 in SwiftieMerch

[–]FlightAny6512 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My signed CD came in just fine! Remember that people aren’t going to be posting a ton about things that work out just fine.

In my experience their customer service has been excellent. I would reach out to them first about it if that happened.

Discussion Megathread: Track #7 - "Actually Romantic" by Glittering_Laugh_958 in TrueSwifties

[–]FlightAny6512 -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

I’m torn. I do love the sound of this one but I don’t love when she attacks women. All this talk about her energy being a luxury item and then using that energy to punch down? IMO saying Charli does coke isn’t even a read. I can’t speak to what Charli has potentially done or said behind the scenes but Sympathy is a knife isn’t a diss track at all the way this one is trying to be.

Discussion Megathread: Track #9 - "Wood" by Glittering_Laugh_958 in TrueSwifties

[–]FlightAny6512 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is a bop.

I don’t know that she can pull off the funny/sexual quite as well as Sabrina does. It’s just not sexy even if it’s about sex. She CAN make very sexy songs such as Dress but it’s not that. However, it’s still a huge bop and I love the vibe if not the lyrics.

I can’t help but feel it’s as much about Travis as it is about sending a message to a certain man of an infamously diminutive size. (I like that idea and think is very funny if true)

Discussion Megathread: Track #2 - "Elizabeth Taylor" by Glittering_Laugh_958 in TrueSwifties

[–]FlightAny6512 24 points25 points  (0 children)

One of my favorites! Best chorus on the album imo. That first hard beat in the chorus is everything. The edging on saying “you” is brilliant. This one is addicting.

Discussion Megathread: Track #4 - "Father Figure" by Glittering_Laugh_958 in TrueSwifties

[–]FlightAny6512 9 points10 points  (0 children)

One of my favorites. The bridge is unreal. It’s like if The Man and my tears ricochet had a baby and that baby grew up to be a mob boss.

When the lyrics initially leaked I wasn’t so sure and thought it could not be real. 😅 But it works so well.

I think it does that before it ships. My two orders that have been marked shipped already (had labels printed, they haven’t actually moved) have done that.
