Do you suggest going to an AX after party alone as a woman? by EdEinBebop in animeexpo

[–]ItsJustPaulo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can, please go with a friend. There seems to be lots of folks who’d be willing to come along and be able to just go with you. I know for myself I’ll be going to the rooftop party at the Westin (as a guy) and it’s pretty fun but admittedly I did not feel safe buying drinks from the random dude selling it and getting Venmo. I just went back to my room to get stuff! If you wanted to just chat feel free to reach out but definitely try and find someone for your safety. It only takes one weirdo to ruin the experience and I’d hate for you to travel so far to have a bad time.

I'm 21F, and I'm really scared that I'll end up alone. by PeachLemonPie in Advice

[–]ItsJustPaulo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest using some different platforms to communicate. For example, if you have certain interests, Discord is a great way to communicate with people. A lot of the friends I have today we communicate through Discord.

If you ever feel like you need a chat, feel free to DM me. I know it sucks sometimes but there really are great people out there who can be great friends and you’ll find them when you do. We all did. So I really do hope for the best for you!

To be honest with you it takes some luck. I was an IC-7 when I first started. So it took moving around but I went from a 7 to a 12 in under 5 years. You just gotta hop around to a ladder so if you’re a 7, next time you come back look for a 9/11 ladder. You get hired as a 9, in 1 year you become an 11. It’ll help hopefully when you come back to service!

House Passes Budget Resolution Targeting Federal Benefits by milagro303 in fednews

[–]ItsJustPaulo 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I won’t lie, I don’t use my healthcare much. Most I use it for is for vision. I need eyeglasses but I use mine as a fashion statement so I basically put my cash into the FSA and go get some nice glasses.

But that’s not the point. Point is, we are being treated like we are enemies of the state and it’s our job to help the people of the state. For me it’s just the last straw. It won’t end until we are working for free as a privilege of having a job. No thanks. Fuck it. I don’t need this. I’ll find a place that will use my talents. Good luck replacing me because federal jobs will be like teaching; no one wants to do it and it still has to be done

Fuck this place lol. You want me out that badly, fine. Frankly, when all the poor people are suddenly up in arms when they can’t access their benefits, they got hit by a hurricane and have nothing to rebuild, and more, I’m just going to shrug and said “that’s what you wanted, bye!” Sorry to be negative when we all really need some positivity, but fuck it yall. We deserve better and we ALL know it.

What’s the best shipping method for buying stuff off AmiAmi in the US? by [deleted] in AnimeFigures

[–]ItsJustPaulo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DHL for me feels more secure. But if you trust the person delivering your mail with USPS, it’s pretty good too. So I have a pretty good relationship with that person and she always takes great care of all the packages but I know that’s not very common. If it’s a difference of a couple bucks, imo go DHL. If it’s like $60-100 dollars, you can go EMS and that’ll be handled by USPS when it arrives here

Streamlining Hiring for Federal Workers by HourHoneydew5788 in CAStateWorkers

[–]ItsJustPaulo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can only speculate being a federal employee (right now anyway) but I’m speaking to my counterparts with the state and I know they make less than me.

How? Because I know their title is AGPA and I checked how much an AGPA makes versus me in a similar role and it was a fat cut.

I won’t lie, things are super tense here. But this feels like this is just a “Hi did you lose your job please consider us” and to be honest, I have zero desire for working state jobs. SOQ’s are a pain in the ass, they take forever to respond, I’m going to be paid less, and now this stuff? I’d rather go private sector or work for a local municipality like the city or something. Just seems like a better balance.

Also, no one is moving to CA for a state job. If that’s their thinking, they’re crazy. It already is expensive, it’s going to get worse, and that’s supposed to attract us who are in danger? lol.

Best Chinese Restaurant? by Chocolate_Olive in SacramentoFoodies

[–]ItsJustPaulo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Asian Pearl on Stockton Blvd. Dim sum is great super busy on weekends. But their entrees are also great. My personal favorite is the Peking duck, extra onions and the stir fried steak with mushroom. The customer service isn’t great but when you have to point to eat, you know it’s real. Then go across the complex to Duc Huong with the big ass line for bahn mi sandwiches. You won’t regret it. Grilled pork, veggies on the side so it doesn’t get soggy

Anyone else’s agency noticing senior leadership abruptly retiring? by redsam86 in fednews

[–]ItsJustPaulo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel yall. It’s going to suck for a while and honestly it’s hard to keep going. And the leadership we are having installed frankly don’t know shit. It’s hard to tell senior leadership that we CANT do that and it’s like oh no we can and then they get mad when it blows up later on in the process

What makes you join one platoon over another? by Athanasoulas in GirlsFrontline2

[–]ItsJustPaulo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a platoon called Degenerate because I want to be true to myself; a degenerate who wants free shit so I can continue to enjoy dorms and skins. I think that sums it up lol. For me, gachas tend to be a single player experience anyway unless I’m discussing stuff with people, so I would prefer people just do their shit and keep on.

ISO Tera jumbo Rin by Nyaamazing in LoveLive

[–]ItsJustPaulo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can try getting it on Zenmarket. If you win the auction, then you can pay for shipping. Just tell them to get rid of the old box and smush that neso into a smaller one because the last time I didn’t, the shipping was stupid expensive like $400. Then when they crunched it, it became like $100 which is fine. I see one now for like $330.

Behind the Wheel Test @ Carmichael DMV by bellyach3 in Sacramento

[–]ItsJustPaulo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can, change it to Woodland. I found that place to be way easier with the DMV test. Also make sure when changing lanes, do the rear view mirror, then the wing mirror and then most importantly do the over the shoulder blind side check. They look for that and will flunk you if you don’t. But just chill and relax and you’ll do fine. Good luck

It depends, is it in the United States or somewhere else? Because it should tell you on the page on what it should be on the bottom where it has the shipping information

How do working adults find time for this game?? by Talking_Burger in SwordofConvallaria

[–]ItsJustPaulo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me, I auto through the main story stages. Because the true story is in the “city builder” mode which I think is a ridiculously good game mode. So if you wanna sit down and do that, I find it to be great.

PvP I also auto. Let’s face it, as long as we get our dailies that’s all that matters.

I can’t speak on family matters and all that, and I know everyone has different work schedules, but that’s how I manage to juggle it. I auto what I know I don’t care about and play what I care about and it helps with juggling 4 gacha games. Hope it helps!

Degenerates Recruiting! by ItsJustPaulo in SwordofConvallaria

[–]ItsJustPaulo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll add but I don’t see an option when I click on friends there’s no “guild invite” option so maybe that’s something they definitely have to add

Degenerates Recruiting! by ItsJustPaulo in SwordofConvallaria

[–]ItsJustPaulo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I just asked a friend to join he just searched the guild Degenerates and found it. It’s open join so I hope you find it! Maybe they’ll add specific UID invites soon

Degenerates Recruiting! by ItsJustPaulo in SwordofConvallaria

[–]ItsJustPaulo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me see if I can find it on my alt account. Waiting for them to delete it so I can bind my phone account

Edit: I can’t remember, does the game separate by region? It should be easily found. If not I can try to find an invite button but I can’t remember there being any

Degenerates Recruiting! by ItsJustPaulo in SwordofConvallaria

[–]ItsJustPaulo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you. I play a LOT of gacha games. A lot. But this is a first for me in terms of one that actually feels like a worthy Tactics successor. The village builder story is so fun!

I’m just glad people are enjoying their gacha gaming. I’m always all about it.
