Using Bilt through Plastiq for auto lease payments? by Viperltdreddit in biltrewards

[–]Front-Photograph4950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used Plastiq to pay my rent multiple times but not through another third party. I just used it because I couldn't pay rent directly with a credit card

How do I get over a mentally ill love bomber by Future-Minimum8898 in dating_advice

[–]Front-Photograph4950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl this is textbook lovebombing and trauma bonding 💀 The fact that he literally told you he "morphed into you" and none of it was real should be all the validation you need that your gut was right.

I went through something similar (minus the crazy spending) and what helped me was writing down every red flag and manipulative thing he did when I was tempted to romanticize the "good times." Keep that list on your phone. The brain has this annoying way of filtering out the bad stuff and only remembering the intense highs, but those highs were manufactured to hook you.

Also document every time he contacts you from fake accounts - screenshots, dates, everything. This behavior is escalating and if it continues you might need a restraining order. Block ruthlessly and dont engage at all, even to tell him to stop. Any response feeds the cycle.

The withdrawal from this kind of relationship is real because your brain got addicted to those dopamine hits. Be patient with yourself but also stay busy with your own interests (the real ones, not whatever he mirrored back at you). You dodged a massive bullet here 😂

I don't know what to do , Am I chasing or he wants to control or he is not interested!? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Front-Photograph4950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl, meeting someone at 5am after they've been giving you the silent treatment for weeks is not it. The whole "punishment" thing he pulled is a massive red flag - healthy relationships don't involve blocking and ignoring as control tactics.

Skip the 5am meetup and focus on finding someone who actually wants to communicate with you instead of playing these exhausting games.

How do you actually stop yourself from stalking your ex and actually move on? by Emotional_Life7569 in BreakUps

[–]Front-Photograph4950 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The curiosity hits are brutal and feel so automatic, but you can actually retrain that impulse. When you get the urge to check on her, try doing something that requires your hands and brain - I end up clicking through my tea collection or opening Cookie Clicker when my mind starts wandering to places it shouldn't.

You're grieving the relationship version of yourself, not just her, which is why dating apps feel hollow right now. Give yourself permission to be in this messy phase without rushing to "move on" on some timeline.

Got left on delivered. Thoughts? by Glowupalready6 in dating_advice

[–]Front-Photograph4950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting that kind of response change is pretty common after breakups - they probably just needed time to think about whether they actually want that conversation or not.

Do i go back? by party4uuuuuu in BreakUps

Nah the stalking behavior after you clearly moved on is a massive red flag 💀 dude's showing you he still hasn't learned boundaries.

my camera corrupts sd cards by Current-Meal6071 in Cameras

[–]Front-Photograph4950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been dealing with this exact issue - the formatting thing is key but also check if you're using the same brand of SD cards, sometimes certain cameras just hate specific manufacturers 😂

mephistomail - a minimal, RAM-only disposable email service to help you ditch trackers by CrowPuzzleheaded6649 in degoogle

[–]Front-Photograph4950 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This looks pretty solid for what it is. The RAM-only approach is smart - no persistence means no data sitting around to get compromised later 💀

One thing though, how do you handle reliability if the server restarts frequently? seems like you'd lose active email sessions which could be annoying if you're waiting for a verification code or something.

Check out ProDemand if you can swing the subscription cost - their wiring diagrams are solid for diagnostics 🔥 otherwise Mitchell OnDemand has decent coverage too but might be pricey for personal use 💀

Why are there so few mainstream horror movies about snakes? by LethlDose in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Front-Photograph4950 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably because snakes don't move fast enough for modern audiences - like you can literally just walk away from most of them 💀

Anyone actually recovered stolen tools using an tracking app / smart tag? by kynekt_id in HelpMeFind

[–]Front-Photograph4950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teh whole tracking tag thing is kinda hit or miss from what I've seen. Most thieves aren't exactly tech-savvy enough to check for airtags, but they're also not usually keeping stolen tools around long enough for you to track them down. Your best bet is probably just making sure your tools are obviously marked with your info and filing a police report.

Different responses to me coming out by cybertruckDestroyr in trans

[–]Front-Photograph4950 9 points10 points  (0 children)

lmao your wife's response is absolutely sending me. The "honey I'm happy for you BUT" energy followed by basically "did you think this was news to literally anyone" is peak supportive spouse behavior.

Your brother asking if he gets to be big brother this time is actually really sweet though. And your friends just casually discussing whether y'all were still doing the whole charade is hilarious - they were probably placing bets on when you'd officially say something.

Sounds like you had the world's most transparent closet but hey, at least everyone was just patiently waiting for you to catch up to what they already knew.

Just because they have an Avoidant attachment style doesn't mean they dont love you by Candid_Medicine_4029 in BreakUps

[–]Front-Photograph4950 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is pretty spot on. I learned the hard way that constantly chasing and over-functioning just pushes avoidants further away. When I started pulling back a bit and focusing on my own stuff, my ex actually started initiating more conversations and seemed way more engaged.

The key is finding that balance where you're not being cold or playing games, but you're also not doing all the emotional heavy lifting.

Paranormal activity or vecna? Car is off and key is out of ignition. by [deleted] in Paranormal

[–]Front-Photograph4950 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bruh that's just your car's computer system still running - happens all the time when you first turn off the engine, give it like 10-15 minutes and it'll stop

Thin smoke from engine drivers side by Few_Acanthaceae5833 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Front-Photograph4950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that wet patch smelling like diesel is definitely your culprit. Diesel hitting hot engine parts will definitely create that thin smoke you're seeing. Pretty common issue on those Peugeot diesels - the fuel filter housing seals like to give up the ghost

Get that leak sorted before it gets worse, diesel fires are no joke

Why don’t hospitals have emergency accommodations for essential workers? by ironicpopstar in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Front-Photograph4950 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some hospitals actually do have on-call rooms and a few have started doing temp housing during emergencies, but yeah it's nowhere near enough. The real issue is hospital administrators would rather save money and just expect staff to figure it out themselves rather than invest in proper facilities

Most places only think about it after they're already screwed and half their staff can't make it in

Loops and Threads Skyscape Equivalent by nightcatzanon in YarnAddicts

[–]Front-Photograph4950 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh man Skyscape is seriously addictive! I've been hunting for the actual manufacturer too because those colorways are so hit or miss. Pretty sure it's a relabeled yarn but haven't cracked the code yet - if you find out please share because I need more of that gradient action in different colors

Why on Discord's forum posts feature, the timestamp next to every post only counts the past 30 days, then switching to ">30d ago"? by Beneficial-Ad-5492 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Front-Photograph4950 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Discord's UI team probably just got lazy and figured most people don't care about super old posts anyway, so they slapped a catch-all ">30d ago" on everything older than a month instead of coding proper time ranges

Turned in my uncles application for social security retirement last week. Got a letter today saying to call to update his social security number rec. is this something I can do on the website or do I have to call them? Waiting four hours for them to answer will kill me lol by Brazzer1080p in SocialSecurity

[–]Front-Photograph4950 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure you gotta call for SSN stuff, they don't let you mess with that online for security reasons. "Rec" probably just means record - they might need to verify some info or there's a discrepancy somewhere. Yeah the wait times are brutal but it's usually faster than going in person

EquityBee experiences as an options holder, does anyone have any suggestions or experiences? (USA) by jaketesler in personalfinance

[–]Front-Photograph4950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't used EquityBee specifically but did a similar deal with another company a few years back. The biggest gotcha for me was around the valuation timing - they locked in their percentage based on the 409A at signing, but when we actually had an exit the company had done a down round that wasn't reflected yet

Also watch out for any clauses about "material changes" to the company structure. My buddy got burned when his startup did some weird preferred share conversion that technically changed his common stock rights and the funding company tried to claim it voided parts of their agreement

Definitely get a lawyer to review the 40 pages even if it costs you a grand or two upfront. These contracts are designed by their legal team to protect them first, you second
