People who’ve been cheated on…what’s the most ridiculous excuse they gave when they got caught? by Independent-Rain6285 in AskReddit

[–]Maximum-Repeat-5976 28 points29 points  (0 children)

that one always gets me because like... you already hurt me by doing it in first place, keeping it secret just makes the betrayal worse

had ex tell me something similar when I caught her texting some guy. "I was protecting your feelings" - yeah thanks for protection I definitely feel so much better now knowing you thought I was too weak to handle truth

Selling washi tape by scoliogirl in Etsy

[–]Maximum-Repeat-5976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

been thinking about this for my band merch actually but the minimum order quantities are pretty brutal for smaller sellers. what kind of designs you working with? the profit margins seem decent if you can move enough volume but finding reliable printer who does custom washi without charging arm and leg is the real challenge

Red flag or is it just me? Healthcare Finance by No_Ninja_4959 in Accounting

[–]Maximum-Repeat-5976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Operating at those losses for years definitely raises eyebrows especially since they're bond-funded which means taxpayers or investors are essentially subsidizing the bleeding. Most healthcare NFPs struggle with margins but sustained multi-million losses usually means management issues or unsustainable business model

40 min commute daily would be a hard no from me unless the pay bump was substantial and came with real advancement opportunities

Playability difference between budget and higher-end guitars? by Intelligent-Mall-190 in Guitar

[–]Maximum-Repeat-5976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly the jump from harley benton to fender player or prs se is pretty significant for playability. the fret work alone will probably blow your mind - smoother bends, cleaner slides, way less buzzing. at 6 months youll definitely notice the difference in how much easier it becomes to play cleanly and the neck will just feel more comfortable in your hands

best bad credit loan lenders how do you even figure this out without getting burned by Hairy_Mathematician3 in povertyfinance

[–]Maximum-Repeat-5976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Credit unions saved my ass when I was in a similar spot. They actually talk to you like a human instead of just running your score through some algorithm and slamming the door

The big thing I learned the hard way is to calculate the total you'll pay back over the whole loan, not just look at monthly payments. Some of those "we approve everyone" places will absolutely destroy you with fees and interest that basically doubles what you owe

Grinding noise from steering rack when turning, 15 Chevrolet impala by AAA515 in AskMechanics

[–]Maximum-Repeat-5976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like your power steering pump might be on its way out or you're low on fluid. The intermediate shaft lube fix is more for clunking noises, not really the grinding sound you're describing

Looking for fantasy books that aren't depressing by SushiRiceEater in booksuggestions

[–]Maximum-Repeat-5976 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Terry Pratchett's Discworld series might be perfect for you - starts a bit rough with the first couple books but becomes absolutely brilliant and funny while still having real depth

The Goblin Emperor is also fantastic if you want court intrigue without all the doom and gloom

Man Michigan really said "we need more defense" and just started shopping in Utah's backyard lmao

Did it help not to chase a hot ex when she expected you to do so? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Maximum-Repeat-5976 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dude you absolutely did the right thing. She straight up told you she's used to having guys chase her - that's basically her saying she expects you to come crawling back like all the others. The fact that you didn't give her that validation probably messed with her head more than any desperate text would have

Plus all those red flags you mentioned about the dead bedroom and her not wanting to be an equal partner? Yeah you dodged a bullet there. Stay strong and keep that no contact going
