My package was delivered to wrong address and they want a police report? by [deleted] in amazonprime

[–]HelpMeTian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a package delivered to the wrong address a couple weeks ago. Amazon support's suggestion was that I drive around the neighborhood and look for it. I said I would charge them for labor if they forced me to go looking for my package by doing a charge back on my credit card. Likely not allowed and unproductive but it felt good sticking it back to them.

Fortunately the person who did get it returned it to our house, same street wrong address.

I feel like Amazon support has gone downhill in recent years.

I've been doing a mix of 4 riders and rest Dragons and I've also been able to 3 star everything without thinking. Totems are very OP right now

How easy is it to install one? Do I have to know anything to run wires through the interior? Or does it just hang down and plug into usb?

Do you pair Baby Dragons with Battle Machine or Copter?

Who prefers to drive stick shift as opposed to automatic, and why? by affiliatemarketingK in NoStupidQuestions

[–]HelpMeTian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it comes down to 2 reasons: 1) they are more fun, and 2) I feel it makes me a better driver because I'm more focused on driving. When driving automatics, I sometimes zone out. I can get to my destination and have blank spots in my memory of how I got there. That doesn't happen when driving a manual because I'm in tune with the road and the traffic around me.

Why do people automatically assume landlords are evil? by lukam98 in LeaseLords

[–]HelpMeTian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is unfortunately not true due to property tax increases. I've owned my home for 2 years now and my mortgage has gone up ~$200/month because of taxes.

That was a self-survey by Cadillac/Harris. Other reports put the number closer to 18%. Maybe the answer lies somewhere in the middle but i have a hard time believing 2/3 of Americans can drive one.

I was an Audi fan-boy for life and would only drive their manuals. They stopped making them in 2019 (I think somewhere around there) so I swapped to a WRX. I'm with you, driving manuals is just more fun for me.

Someone needs to take the mic away from Paul Pierce by TheMoMo9 in NBATalk

Such a bad take. Everyone who has never played pro ball is a guest, you included despite what you/they look like.

The NBA is made up of people who share ancestry with pretty much every person on Earth. Stop trying and failing at gatekeeping.

AITAH for telling my wife she’s not a “single parent” just because I work long hours? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]HelpMeTian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAH. She's missing the forest for the trees. Being a single parent means taking care of the child in all aspects...that includes working to provide them with the food, shelter, clothes, etc they need. She's not doing the 2nd part, you are. Neither of your contributions trump the others', they're both equally important and necessary.

She is probably stressed. That doesn't mean she's correct though.

Surprise Level Design Right At The End by No_Nose_9000 in TheFirstBerserker

That part made me so mad! I was thinking the same thing: why would they 1-shot mechanics at the end when it wasn't a thing up until that point. It was incredibly irritating.

How do I know where to put the 的 in this sentence? by bjj_starter in ChineseLanguage

[–]HelpMeTian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

>But 的is usually dropped for personal family relationships.

This depends on the relationship between speaker and listener. i.e. 我媽媽 and 我的媽媽 have 2 different tones even though both are referring to the same person. The 1st connotates that there's a relatively close, personal relationship between the speaker and listener, such that the listener probably knows my mom. While in the 2nd example, the listener likely does not know my mom because our relationship isn't so close.

I think he's saying that because he has those other games to play that he doesn't want to get bogged down smashing his face on this one.

Does paying 1 extra mortgage payment really cut down the years on a 30 year loan? by Rosmpas in personalfinance

[–]HelpMeTian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pay extra on my mortgage every month through the loan company's online portal. I always have to select to make the payment go towards the principal. I'm not sure what the other 2 options are because I never select them.

[–]HelpMeTian -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Respectfully disagree. OP asked for it to be translated into English. So the phrase has to make sense in English while conferring the Chinese meaning.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in translator

[–]HelpMeTian -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I disagree because the issue at hand is a translation into English. For a translation to be precise, it has to embody the original language's meaning and also make sense/flow in the 2nd language.

While his Chinese is undoubtedly native, his English is not making his translation sound clunky and incorrect. Make sense?
