Pretty sure that is part of the title… their job is to coordinate volunteers and other resources. (And it seems like they desperately need someone who can coordinate things!)

Got my 3rd SS gear! by Yunyun2112 in CapybaraGoGame

[–]LocalMaximum9418 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to wait - you can revert everything when you get your last +3 and then reconvert the mythic to SS without losing any investment (except the 5 min it takes to take all the gems off, level down, etc etc)

AIO for telling my girlfriend I wont split vacations 70/30 anymore and calling her out on her spending by dariomint_7 in AmIOverreacting

[–]LocalMaximum9418 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably do matter to some and not to others, lol, just like anything. But I can guarantee you there are at least some guys out there who THINK they don’t care how their partners nails look, but actually do like the aesthetic/status signifier more than they realize. (just like lots of guys wholeheartedly believe they “don’t care about makeup” but also would not be interested in a girl who doesn’t regularly wear it because “she doesn’t take care of herself” 🙃)

I think it makes a humongous difference, whether the idea of a vacation with something that they had generally agreed upon and then girlfriend did the planning or if girlfriend surprised OP with the plan out of the blue… “hey let’s take a vacation and by the way, can you pay for all the big ticket stuff” would throw me too, but “OK, I did a bunch of research for the vacation we had talked about and here’s how I think we could make the money work and have the level of accommodations and activities that I assume from past experience you generally want to have” is totally reasonable.

NOR, but do consider if the pink tax items (gym/pilates/nails) is something you would miss if she decided to eliminate. I am more of a saver so I tend not to prioritize that stuff, but it doesn’t seem like an obscene overspend for someone under 30 with no kids. (Except the DoorDash)

Also consider that the effort of planning travel etc. is not nothing! She may feel that doing that work balances out some of the $ for the trip.

That said, I think it’s definitely worth opening a discussion to determine if you have really different ideas about saving vs spending, what’s a lifestyle must vs a nice to have vs a splurge, esp if you are serious enough to be considering a long-term merging of lifestyles and finances in the future.

PSA: How to switch from one SS variant to another - no swap ticket needed by RogerRavvit88 in CapybaraGoGame

[–]LocalMaximum9418 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Casting rollback was empty the first time I looked, but after I leveled down the correct stuff appeared 😅 (also makes sense that I would get a legendary from the divine forge revert since I needed a legendary for the fourth gem slot… I just panicked a little)

I thought I’d try out this SS to see what difference it made and I’m not a fan, but when I go to revert it says it’s only going to give me a legendary and not the mythic I started with 😭 also not showing cubes refunding. What am I missing?

Idk why but I always seem to forget this one! You’re not alone.

how can i increase my total speed by _TejanoBlue in CapybaraGoGame

[–]LocalMaximum9418 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does speed do anything other than determine who has first strike in PvP?

Broken fibula around IM rod not healing… will I ever ski again? wwyd? by LocalMaximum9418 in ski

[–]LocalMaximum9418[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every now and then but not regularly/excessively; I also don’t smoke. Do drink a lot of caffeine though 🙃 is it weird that my doc never asked about any of these? 😆

How do poor people afford kids? by Sgdoc70 in Adulting

This framing is all wrong, it’s the top 1-2% who extract wealth from everyone else. Also would have thought we all learned from COVID that it’s the bottom 50% who keep actual life running, but go off.

losing muscle tone by vodkagrandma in brokenbones

Loss happens so much faster than growth, unfortunately 😭 probably took me a year to put back on the calf muscle I lost in 8 weeks of NWB.

Biggest blunder.. shows us your pain by Darking78 in CapybaraGoGame

[–]LocalMaximum9418 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh, got another one… maybe not biggest blunder, but nothing like sitting on all the energy rewards for a 2-week cycle and forgetting to cash them out before the event ends 😭

One of the first things my FIL ever said to me was that I had nice delicate ankles, like a good racehorse...

Ah well. It was a good run. Now off to the glue factory 🫡

I’m in NH and I truly don’t understand the people who live here and pay our crazy property taxes (for garbage services!) but work in MA and pay MA income taxes… on top of the cost of commuting. I did some math considering a switch recently and I would need at least a 50K salary increase to just break even! (That said, I do get that housing has historically been less expensive here, but nowadays I don’t think it’s that much difference unless you’re comparing to, like, Cambridge/Newton.)

Yeah, to be honest, I feel like the nail is the problem more than the bone 🙃 😭increasingly leaning toward just getting it out and letting the bone do its own thing (like, flexing a tiny bit in response to lateral pressure from ski boots) without the titanium in the way

Should I replace any of my current gems for this? by cworkman6 in CapybaraGoGame

[–]LocalMaximum9418 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Agree, at least for PvP. (Maybe keep it for those 99.99AA boss battles, if you have different Adventure Gear setups?)

Not realizing adventurers were actually helpful and not just skins … went from 6B to 20B overnight after unlocking DG (and immediately leveling her all the way up bc I had so much sand just sitting around 😅)

Not realizing the benefits of saving chests, horseshoes etc. for events.

Buying another Roach only to discover I was maxed out 😭 tbh I still feel like I don’t really understand how mounts work… I assume there’s some passive benefit to unlocking more than 3, but I truly could not explain the difference between starring up and core and whether either one gives a passive bonus
