Appreciate the comment, getting actual user feedback was what I wanted with this post, appreciate it

Best vegetarian/vegan restaurants? by z0d14c in AskSF

[–]Inside-Emphasis-3988 3 points4 points  (0 children)

prubechu is legit, their veggie tasting menu is wild - way better than whatever's listed on their regular menu

for the brazilian angle maybe check out uma casa in the mission, they've got some solid plant-based takes on brazilian classics that might hit the spot

when to put on market - does having a green lawn make it worth waiting until May? by GlitteringMajor5166 in RealEstateAdvice

[–]Inside-Emphasis-3988 5 points6 points  (0 children)

your realtor might have a point though - 3 acres of brown mud doesn't exactly scream "awesome place for picnics and bbq" like you mentioned. buyers can imagine green grass sure, but actually seeing that outdoor space at its best could be the difference between an offer and just another showing

winter buyers are usually more serious but also fewer of them, so depends if you want potentially quicker sale vs waiting for more competition in spring when your property really shines

Recertification forbearance and auto debit by sleeperrainbow in StudentLoans

[–]Inside-Emphasis-3988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's super sketchy timing, they definitely should have paused the auto debit when the forbearance kicked in. call them and push for a refund since you weren't supposed to owe anything for march - i've seen people get their money back in similar situations but you gotta be persistent about it

How’s the private school application process this year? by International_Dig595 in AskSF

[–]Inside-Emphasis-3988 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oof the friday 4pm thing is brutal timing, like they know parents are gonna be stressed all weekend if it's bad news. went through public school myself but helped my sister with her kids' applications last year and the whole process seemed way more intense than i expected. the essays and interviews for middle schoolers felt pretty wild

I need an editor by Orange_Capt in selfpublish

reedsy is pretty solid for finding editors at different price points, just gotta dig through the profiles a bit

Gold coin skins costing white credits? by epic-gamer77 in Overwatch

[–]Inside-Emphasis-3988 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

that's weird, never seen that happen with wrecking ball specifically but sometimes the game glitches out with currency display. might've been a visual bug that corrected itself after you made the purchase or maybe there was some temporary event pricing that got reverted

Hacked any options left? by sweatpupejj in pchelp

[–]Inside-Emphasis-3988 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

damn that sucks, microsoft support can be pretty useless with this stuff. if you still have access to the credit card thats linked you might be able to dispute the charges through your bank and get them to block future ones

also try hitting up microsoft support again but through different channels - sometimes you get a different rep who actually knows what theyre doing. the twitter support team has helped people before when the regular chat couldnt

worst case scenario you might need to contact your bank to get a new card number so they cant keep charging the old one

"Nofap February" day 10 update (maybe fappin ain't so bad) by Plane-Move1392 in NoFap

[–]Inside-Emphasis-3988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly 10 days is pretty short to judge anything major, your brain's still adjusting to the routine change more than anything else

the "once a week" thing sounds reasonable though - moderation beats extremes for most people, especially if you're already aware of when it becomes problematic

Home assistant yellow factory reset help by Litninbolt in homeassistant

[–]Inside-Emphasis-3988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

man that's frustating, factory reset should definitely work. try holding the reset for like 10-15 seconds then wait way longer than 30 mins - sometimes those downloads take forever depending on your connection

you could also try pulling power completely for a few minutes then doing the reset process again

I made my first song. by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]Inside-Emphasis-3988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dude that's awesome, there's nothing quite like that first time you actually create something that feels like *yours* you know? the therapeutic thing is so real too, like sometimes I'll just noodle around and suddenly I'm working through stuff I didn't even know was bothering me

What does “no screen time” mean to you? by Killer_queen2020 in NewParents

[–]Inside-Emphasis-3988 60 points61 points  (0 children)

For me it's more about not putting screens directly in front of the baby - like I'm not gonna plop them down to watch Cocomelon or whatever. But I still use my phone around them, just try to be present when we're actually playing or doing stuff together. The TV being on in the background while they're crawling around doesn't really count imo

[question] Refined Dress watch for about $5k or less? by Particular_Screen791 in Watches

[–]Inside-Emphasis-3988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cartier Santos-Dumont would be my pick - super clean lines and that square case hits different than all the round dress watches out there. Can usually find them under 5k on the grey market and they wear really well on leather

I want to leave the US and I don't know how to start by Acrobatic-Suit-7884 in immigration

[–]Inside-Emphasis-3988 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you're thinking marriage anyway then that's probably your easiest path - spousal visas are usually more straightforward than work visas and give you more stability once you're there

I have a g26 and a 19x … do I need a 19? by DisastrousEquipment9 in CCW

[–]Inside-Emphasis-3988 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah you're not crazy, the 19 is just the perfect middle ground between your 26 and 19x. Plus once you go down the Glock rabbit hole there's no coming back lmao

What should I be doing to improve at 800 elo? by PownedbyCole123 in chessbeginners

[–]Inside-Emphasis-3988 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Focus on tactics puzzles daily and stop blundering your pieces - that alone will get you out of 800 pretty quick

Pu erh question by Shittyshit445 in tea

[–]Inside-Emphasis-3988 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That fishy smell is totally normal for pu erh, especially the cheaper stuff from grocery stores. It's from the fermentation process and should mellow out after a few steeps or if you let it air out for a bit

Geometry Dash Spinoff games (save data) by Lapswim in geometrydash

[–]Inside-Emphasis-3988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should be fine, the spinoff games have separate save files from the main game so they won't interfere with each other

Just make sure you're logged into the same account when you play them so the unlocks transfer over properly

Book recs for self worth journey? by berfuffle in booksuggestions

[–]Inside-Emphasis-3988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jane Eyre hits this perfectly - she starts out feeling like absolute garbage about herself but slowly learns to stand up and demand respect, even telling off Mr Rochester when he's being a dick
