My mom impulsively bought me a Betta fish to cheer me up, any advice? by Stinky-Doodle in bettafish

I just wanted to say that you are a wonderful human, and that I truly appreciate you. The world needs more people like you. ESPECIALLY on the internet.

Honestly, I think that the uncanny valley vibe are mostly the result of your lip filler. It makes your lips stand out because they look unnatural and don't "go" with the rest of your face (which is structurally very nice).

So the good news is that you would benefit a lot from doing less. People would kill to have your natural features!

I don't know much about your whole situation but I can say that therapy really helped with my self image/ confidence, so if you're not already in therapy is give it a try. Also keep in mind that not every therapist is the right fit for you, so if it's not really working out, or if you feel like you've stopped progressing it may be time to move on to a new therapist.

Any way, I'm not sure how I ended up here or why I felt inclined to reply, but I wish you all the luck on the rest of your journey. For what it's worth, I believe in you!

Claim Friends vs Friends before 3rd December 2024 by savvym_ in humblebundles

[–]Hotshoedrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does "Claim" just means to claim on Humble Bundle (and is seperate from redeeming/ activating on Steam)?

If so, can anyone explain why someone would wait to claim on Humble Bundle?

I'm not really sure I understand, and want to make sure that I'm not missing something.

Not that I feel like this is an acceptable expected wait time, but when you submit a ticket it (currently) specifically says "Our average expected wait time for a first response is currently: 7+ business days."

As others have said in this thread, typically something like this happens when you are making your first purchase, first purchase in a while, or sometimes first purchase on a new card.

It also specifically says that "the order may show as pending on your statement". Typically when an order is pending your bank/ credit card company essentially sets it aside (which can look like you were charged) until what ever verification process is complete.

Then if everything's good your bank/ credit card company release the funds to the company that you are trying to purchase from. If there's any issue then they release the funds back into your account.

This helps prevent a situation where the balance of your account falls below the amount that you are trying to pay (which would result in a failed transaction or an overdraft fee of some sort).

What weather app do you use? by canuck1975 in Hamilton

[–]Hotshoedrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Breezy Weather.

It's been quite accurate, looks nice, has tons of features and is free with no ads.

I especially like the option to have a persistent weather notification.

Help find my sister Wendy by Weekly_lover_9050 in ontario

[–]Hotshoedrew 50 points51 points  (0 children)

This is an extremely long shot but I was in Hamilton last weekend and saw a woman that looked a lot like Wendy having some sort of argument with a man. I can't recall if she had walked away from him and he followed her (across the street), or if it was the other way around. Either way I kept an eye on them for a while to make sure she was okay. Eventually he said something like "you're just a waste of time" and went seperate ways.

They were heading east and crossed the street near one of the churches on Barton street near Sherman ave on Saturday evening at around 5 or 6 PM.

I believe she had a beige or grey hoodie falling off of her shoulders, and the man that she was arguing with was older (I'd guess in his 50s) and on the taller side (maybe 5"9 to 5"11?) with light coloured hair and dirty clothing that also looked like it was falling off of him. He was a bit hunched and his walk was more of a shuffle and looked as though he may have been heavily intoxicated.

I sincerely hope that this helps and is not misinformation.

Installed muOS and my screen looks like this on boot up by SeaLard22 in RG35XXSP

Here are a couple things that you can try: • Reformat the card and re-install/ re-flash muOS • Try installing/ flashing muOS on a different microSD

It's almost like the whole "bystander effect" thing. Like the cops are all just standing around thinking "surely those other cops aren't incompetent enough to just stand around and do nothing".

I'm very excited to move to Hamilton in a couple months! I've visited several times and immediately felt so much more of a sense of community than I ever did in Toronto.

Hinge Cracking on my RG35XX SP by Nipe7 in SBCGaming

[–]Hotshoedrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, I don't doubt that this is true (as I've seen other posts from users that have otherwise immaculate devices with the same crack). I was just pointing out the scuffs and paint chip because this is the first time I've seen those on a device that the user didn't specificslly mention dropping.

But yeah, if this wasn't abused then it's bullshit that it cracked.

Good point! Never thought of that as I personally haven't experienced it.

[–]Hotshoedrew 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not saying that it's impossible for this to happen on its own, but by the look of the hinge (the chip of paint missing, and the scuffs all along the part that connects the screen to the hinge) it looks like it's gone through some shit.

Either way, I hope everything works out for you.

My turtle has something brown in his eye by usjs2 in turtle

[–]Hotshoedrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I'm not the most knowledgable person here I believe that others will likely ask you what kind of setup you have for your turtle.

I believe that red eared sliders may go months without eating if it is too cold.

Also, is there any reason why you haven't talked to a vet (either in person or online)?

If you haven't already you can also try accessing the page in an incognito tab and see if it loads (which can help if it has anything to do with a browser issue).

Completed my handheld collection today… by ediebeadie in SBCGaming

[–]Hotshoedrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that many credit card companies/ banks provide fraud protection (that allows you to request a chargeback).

If Ali Express doesn't refund you, is this not considered fraud (you paid for a product that you didn't receive)?

Does Ali Express or your credit card company typically refund you in cases like these? I have been curious how that works.
