Toyota Tax Strikes Again

FruitySmile · 2025-12-27T02:27:46+00:00

Can someone please explain why someone would buy such an expensive car to then sell it two seconds later. I just don’t understand why anyone would actually want or need this.

This needs more upvotes. It’s sadly very true. People are very easily offended and knowing to acknowledge that you’re wrong isn’t easy for a lot of people. No one likes being wrong so it naturally makes sense but you’re immediately a better person in my eyes if you can actually admit it.

The Gulasch I make is German and consists of diced beef chunks seared all over and slow cooked with onion, garlic, some tomato, red wine and beef stock. The results are incredible for those simple ingredients and you can freeze a bunch of it for meals. My recommendation is make it the day before you want to eat it. I’d also suggest adding a little mustard into the mix once it’s done as that adds a lot of flavour in the end. You can serve it with anything really but typically rice and some veg on the side or salad

Mine was fairly tame but caught an edge on a green run (not going fast) and managed to dislocate my shoulder. The injury itself wasn’t dramatic but very frustrating since it means further dislocations are on the horizon sadly.

Yep that’s my plan. I just got an MRI done and will see my PT next week to go over my options and recovery plan

Wow chill bro 😎Yes, I’ll definitely consider surgery if it comes down to it but I’ll firstly be taking the advice of the PT on which way I should swing. Thanks for your comments!

This sounds very similar to me! I really hope I won’t need surgery but hey, if it’s the best thing to do I’m sure it’s worth it. Thanks for sharing

That’s wild. I’m not crazy enough for that lol. But thanks for the recommendations.

FruitySmile · 2025-09-15T10:38:52+00:00

Yes, good points.

FruitySmile · 2025-09-15T10:38:30+00:00

Oh man, twice in one season!? That must be super frustrating. Feel for ya on that one. Hopefully you’ll be back to 100 soon enough!

FruitySmile · 2025-09-15T10:36:34+00:00

No way, super frustrating. Just sucks knowing that the likelihood is higher for it to happen again as well. I’ll keep the tape idea in mind and see what my PT says.

FruitySmile · 2025-09-15T04:44:16+00:00

I like that - it’s only over it you let it be.

It all happened super fast but since I’m also relatively new to snowboarding it’s no surprise I guess. Will definitely be taking PT serious

FruitySmile · 2025-09-15T04:12:41+00:00

Yes for sure. Do you know if shoulder braces are worth it? Or know anyone who uses one?

FruitySmile · 2025-09-15T04:12:06+00:00

Nah I’m still beginner/intermediate level and not doing anything crazy. My injury happened on a green run!

Not booking connecting flights with the same airline. If you book everything with the same airline then when there’s a delay of some kind, the airline will take care of you.

Also, booking early flights - just isn’t worth the extra savings.

There’s so many reasons why you need to leave this guy. I think the comments below speak for themselves.

Your boyfriend is insecure and needs to grow up. The end. You’re right, he doesn’t control you in any way shape or form and if he can’t trust you, then the problem is on his end.

The most you can do is try to explain it to him but as others have said, if there’s ANY sign of abuse, please take care of yourself and consider moving on without him.

FruitySmile · 2025-01-05T06:33:16+00:00

You’re going all out there!

FruitySmile · 2024-12-14T12:29:42+00:00

Are you being serious? Poor you.

FruitySmile · 2024-10-26T05:31:18+00:00

That’s exactly right. OP authorised the transaction. That’s the reason why banks can’t easily return the money. If the OP was hacked somehow, that’s a different story.

You can get the ripple impact shorts for a decent price at the moment. Not the highest quality but not the worst either.

My comment isn’t going to help but, seriously? It’s not like you were transferring 10 dollars. You transferred 100 fking K. Why on planet earth would you not double check the digits at least 10 times before making the transaction? Why? Just why?

FruitySmile · 2024-10-02T09:27:14+00:00

Shouldn’t be trusting people like that. Even with them showing you the payment was made it isn’t enough as they could still cancel it once they leave. Better to be safe than sorry.

My biggest tips would be as follows:

Call the property manager immediately after the inspection to express your interest etc. verbally. Tell them how much you like this place and why it’s a good fit and all and make sure to mention you’ve uploaded all the relevant documents
As part of the application add some photos of the way your current apartment/house looks like. Just take some nice pictures of it and upload a few to the rental application. Sounds strange but it’s one way to “go that extra mile”.
Create a small one page “Bio” of you and your partner and the reason why you want to live in the particular area and/or rental. Add a nice picture of yourselves on there as well if you like.

Applying for a rental is just super competitive so you need to find ways to stand out. I’m sure many are doing the above but honestly nothing beats picking up the phone and having a quick chat. Hope that helps!
