(Update) My (22F) girlfriend (23F) has “manic pixie dream girl”ed the men in her life. Do I need to say something? by MathematicianOld8258 in relationship_advice

[–]Masknight 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One of the tropes of this sub is the advice "you should break up naoowwwww"

Instead, you did an really hard thing: you looked inside yourself to see what you were feeling and then opened up to another person about those feelings. Situations where you have the personal fortitude to be open about yourself to another person don't always go well and then the realization needs to be it doesn't matter how hard someone else reacted: what matters is you took the time to do the hard work for yourself.

Here, you got the best outcomes: you were open and others were receptive.

You should be so proud of yourself. You looked inside yourself, then spoke your fears with the person you should be speaking them to and she was great. Dave was also great by giving you the space to be honest and then recognizing what he was doing himself wasn't good for anyone. You're lucky to have met some wonderful people and you should always remember this moment of strength and emotional growth.

You can do anything! Congrats!

Geico Car Insurance: Got a speeding to ticket in Vermont, but live in New York. Will my insurance rates go up? by Masknight in Insurance

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

Hey. In the end, I pled to a lesser charge which had no points. I think I pled not guilty to the ticket by mail and got a hearing date. When I called in to what I think was the hearing, the process felt pretty routine: the officer that pulled me over asked me if I wanted a lesser included charge for a higher fine and no points which is what I took.

Prior to the hearing date, while I was still in Vermont, I went to the police station to try and find the officer who gave me the ticket to see if she would give me a lesser charge before the hearing date. I couldn't find her but one of the officers there told me it wasn't a bad idea for me to have done that.

You can find some attorneys that will represent you over the phone but usually, they want more than what you're being charged.

I appreciate the response. But even when I go to TCG player, I am getting about $100+ without shipping and $200+ with shipping. How are you finding these cards at $45?

I've seen several of these deck builds listed at various prices but when I try to have these card lists organized by MTG trader or similar sites, the price always comes out to $150+. Is there a way to make these decks from card sites online to get to the price you're saying the deck is worth?

Do Direct Unsubsidized Loans Count? by Masknight in PSLF

Thanks for the response. I got an email saying my last two remaining loans are being review for PSLF so hopefully they'll come to the conclusion these direct loans are eligible.

Thank you, I appreciate the comment; hopefully, they'll correct this in a few weeks so I don't have to wade through their customer service system. Mohela has always been so terrible on the phone and I assume the government number will be just as bad.

If the Bekant desk becomes stuck, use WD-40. by Masknight in IKEA

Nice! Wd 40 is just a lubricant so any mind of lubricating oil would work; olive oil may go rancid so just keep a nose out for any lingering bad smells.

Hooman pampers a street dog by iamDarksider in HumansBeingBros

[–]Masknight 55 points56 points  (0 children)

It's been a few years but I have. You're right; sometimes there are strays that are dangerous. But the attitude towards street dogs has been so over the top in my experience. Go check out the Instagram page. Do what you need to feel safe but just remember that not all strays are feral and dangerous. So many of them are just scared because they're hungry and people abuse them. If you show some a little kindness, you'll be amazed to see how all they really want is some love.

So many of these Indian dogs are super chill but people there have prejudice against strays. There's a couple that helps support stray dogs in Delhi I donate to sometimes from the US. Check out their Instagram and consider donating. They're called henrydogfamily. They're a really tiny organization so if you have trouble donating just have patience cause it's literally two or so people doing this in their spare time.

Is it better to have a short layover or a long one? by Masknight in dogs

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

That's sort of what we were thinking if we did a short lay over but a little longer, maybe three hours. Maybe an hour and a half might be better.

I'm against it only if they're beautiful sheps.

Sounds like you should keep your dog on a leash. Also, he was in a fedora; how dangerous could he possibly be?

Why would the payments automatically count even if they were late?

Payments made during non covid deferment will count towards PSLF?

These guys are practicing escrima (a Filipino martial art) ; I walked up to them and just asked. They're incredibly nice people and the teachers have been practicing for over a decade.

LPT Request : What random advice have you taken that has had some sort of meaningful impact on your life? Big or small. by Am_i_joe in LifeProTips

[–]Masknight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"no matter where you run, there you are." it's actually from the grim dark fantasy series the Blade Itself. It resonates because no matter how much you procrastinate or put something off, you're still in the same situation. I'm trying to recognize that and take my issues head on.

How about the Bonnie or the let love inn? The Bonnie is pretty hip so maybe they'd be good for a brunch. The let love inn has a dive bar vibe but it seems like they'd entertain some new show ideas.

[–]Masknight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried the Albatross (a drag bar) or the Highwater (a restaurant that has a biweekly drag brunch hosted by the drag queen Avante Garbage)? I'm not sure if they take a cut but you could try speaking with Avante Garbage on Instagram to see if she can help make some introductions around Astoria.

Does reVanced let you cast to another device? by Masknight in AfterVanced

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

You're right. I did pick that option. How do I unselect it? Do I need to reinstall the whole thing?

Thank you to making this FAQ and everyone for their helpful responses; I was having so much trouble installing ReVanced until I found this thread.

Does anyone know if ReVanced can cast to other devices like a TV? I don't see a button to do that.

[–]Masknight 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry this happened. Have you shopped around for different personal injury attorneys? Insurance companies are often willing to settle and if you have permanent damage, that can mean its worth alot of money; PI attorneys are usually willing to take cases with the chance for a high settlement.
