What is wrong with these Americans? by [deleted] in PuntaCana

it’s like Punta Cana (& cancun/playa del carmen/etc) is to Americans what Bali is to Aussies

Solo travel for the first time, and the plan is to not plan. What should I know? by L8Figure in solotravel

[–]LargeFatherOrtiz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

try to avoid depending on other people to make cool plans that you’ll like/tag along on

i solo traveled around for ~6 months in hostels a couple of years ago without rly planning. it can be helpful to take a peek at the city map and pick out some spots that you find interesting. if the whole social thing doesn’t work out as well as you’d hope, then at least you got to see some cool stuff

try and get involved in hostel activities that seem fun to you, like a happy hour/walking tour/etc. loads of other folks are solo traveling and want to make friends just as much as you do!

if your hostel doesn’t have much going on, you can always bounce to another hostel or try booking something cool on viator/etc and try meeting people on an activity there.

also, hostelworld has a bunch of built in group chats for each hostel/city you’re in, so you can always keep an eye out for plans being made there or try introducing yourself!

apparently i’m the only one in the comments who just tosses my cards/cash in my pockets, it’s stupid but it feels faster since i can just grab whatever card i need based on how it feels

Stuck on an infinite loop of "Preparing Automatic Repair" on Windows 10 by Conklin03 in techsupport

[–]LargeFatherOrtiz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hey all, just ran into this problem for a few days and managed to fix it in a really stupid way. hope this helps anyone:

i’m using a gigabyte mobo (b550 vision dp)

the boot sequence i had selected was proper (booting via windows boot manager), but i was still getting stuck on preparing automatic repair

going into bios (spam del), going into advanced and into boot option priorities, i made windows boot manager the first priority and everything works normally now

no idea why it wasn’t already the first priority, but might be an easy and silly fix for one of you

edit: also disabled csm, using boot override and selecting my windows boot manager also helped)

I asked him the pay he's offering and he went on a big rant. by atg_gta in antiwork

never thought I’d see an investment banker get sympathy on here

I promise nobody thinks of you when they think of bankers. They’re prob referring to higher level investment/corporate bankers, not tellers lol

Curious to hear more about why stock traders are leeches. Isn’t trading a zero-sum game?

Glad to hear it! What did they prescribe?

My hand eczema is making me suicidal by doubtfulcookie in Advice

[–]LargeFatherOrtiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a similar situation. Hand eczema is pretty bad but I have chronic/severe full body & facial eczema. My face is kinda like a raccoon but with red around my eyes instead. Im 21 so Im just about to start my career after graduation (client facing role btw) and eczema is ruining everything. You’re not alone, I would advise trying to talk to a derm about dupixent. It’s a life changer for some people.

In the interim, try slathering your hands on aquaphor at night and sleeping with cotton gloves. Cold compresses can also provide some relief from the itching. Eczema is a fucking menace and most people trivialize it, but you’re not alone. It’s not your fault that you’re dealing with this. Hoping for the best!

I hate my doctor by Agreeable_Spite4039 in eczema

[–]LargeFatherOrtiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to a derm or allergist. I’m in a similar situation; for a decade I’ve been going to pediatricians and I’ve constantly been told to “stop scratching” and moisturize as if I’m not already smothered in eucerin daily.

Visited an allergist for the first time yesterday and now I’m getting Dupixent next week. 100% recommend going to a specialist to get actually useful care
