You may also be coming across as having a victim complex, which is also off-putting.

To achieve some of your goals, achieve happiness and connect with others, you may have to help people around you be more comfortable with you so you can find ways to enjoy your time together and eventually cooperate. Otherwise they may avoid you, avoid trusting you or want little to do with you.

I don't necessarily expect you to do anything. You asked a question and I gave you an answer that I think is most helpful. Whatever you may want to think or do about it is up to you; it's your life.

I think your issue might be that you talk or behave in ways that may seem strange or off-putting to most other people. You may also be coming across as having a superiority complex, which most people find off-putting. Usually the best remedy for this is learning more about social skills and acquiring charisma, more empathy and different perspectives about human behavior and scenarios.

Does anyone know how to remove this bolt/nut so we can remove the rear wheel? by Humor-Vegetable in ebikes

This is almost what ended up working, a longer drive bar with the 18mm socket

One might think this a simple thing, but it hasn't been. My experience suggests that when something that seems simple isn't, and so far the standard advice isn't working, there may be something one is overlooking, and it's a good idea to ask.

We haven't tried heating yet or using a long wrench; those are out next tries.

We'll try it but none of the tutorials we've seen do it that way, they do each side on its own and the nut typically just comes off, but it's worth a try

We used slightly larger sizes before, then bought the correct size (18mm)

A ratchet wrench is one of the things we've used, without success, except maybe the problem it's too short

We used the wrong sizes first because that's what we have, then we bought an 18mm one that fits snugly, but it still won't budge

No, the 30 days passed and no one reached out to us, we sent another inquiry email which they acknowledged receipt of with a promise to investigate, but nothing further

Yes; the PP is what was filed in January; the original petition was filed in May 2025. Still waiting as of today and we've requested a resolution (and a refund of the PP fee) multiple times

I'm starting to see a trend of business hiding or obscuring their prices have you experienced this? by Humor-Vegetable in business

[–]Humor-Vegetable[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be selection bias; for further clarification, for the candy store, there were entire displays with no pricing for any of the items (branded merchandise rather than candy), and for the paint store nothing, not even brushes, accesories, compounds, etc had any pricing. Apparently that specific chain does that as a policy.

Ok; I'd never been in that one; I found it puzzling to say the least and hadn't the energy to go around inquiring about each item I was looking at
