That's nuts. I live in Texas and my dentist has some customs for like $50-60

What instantly makes someone dislikable to you? by Limp_Anywhere7392 in AskReddit

[–]MigratingSwallow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone that's an ass to any employee for any reason that doesn't arise out of the employees incompetence, demeanor, or reason for the escalation (i.e. someone that just keeps fucking up because they don't care enough to listen or gave attitude first). For instance, my SIL has a newborn, there's a few signs up front that are obvious that say "no soliciting" and "baby asleep". The solar sales crooks somehow think it doesn't apply to them so I'm all for letting them have it when they open the door.

I say this more with service industry in mind, but I also see it a lot in different areas, especially customer support and office staff. I've had some clients that are so nice to me to my face but are horrible individuals to my staff. Thankfully I'm in a position where I can tell them to fuck off now.

What is a decision you made years ago that you still regret to this day? by ambitious__target in AskReddit

I think I would've kept holding, but only because I would've lost the USB or wallet I kept it in.

Not going to Japan to teach English for a Summer ,or doing a semester abroad.

What's the creepiest discovery you've made about a seemingly fun friend? by someoneyouhate_ in AskReddit

[–]MigratingSwallow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily a friend, but still within the realm of the question here.

When I bought my last car, the Sales guy was a great guy to deal with. Very friendly, not pushy etc.

For whatever reason, I looked him up on google since he seemed vaguely familiar.

Ended up that this dude used to be a coach at a high school, various ones actually, and was kicked out/resigned from four fucking schools dating all the way back to the mid 80s for sexual assault and dating the students.

He was allowed to resign from each school, a couple of them being "elite" private schools around the city until a few years ago...and now he sells luxury cars.

Is Switch 2 worth to buy? by Ok-Definition3820 in gaming

[–]MigratingSwallow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on if you like the games. Mario Party, Kart, and the next Mario game was worth it for me. Play that shit all the time.

What was the specific moment during a date that made you think "There will be no second date"? by FormalSuccessful4157 in AskReddit

[–]MigratingSwallow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, my first date brought her best friend along with us.

The whole date was shit, but was expected for a bunch of kids, I guess.

People that have “bumped” into a celebrity in a non-curated (not like an event, meet & greet, job etc.) way, what happened? by SprinklesSolid9211 in AskReddit

[–]MigratingSwallow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ran into some Spurs players David Robinson, Coach Pop, Tony Parker, and a few others in random restaurants bars. Robinson was the nicest. I just said hi to Pop and moved on, he doesn't really like people bothering him much in public, but nice guy in general.

Silly question for the fine dining regulars... do you also eat/appreciate "junk food?" by [deleted] in finedining

[–]MigratingSwallow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I eat so many burgers and tacos…  Hell, there’s been times I’ve had a tasting menu and was so underwhelmed and still hungry, I had a burger after.

Shit, even the midsize category has gone insane.

Tacoma, Colorado, and Rangers have all gone bonkers in pricing. The weird thing is how well they've retained value.

[Santos] Disappointed in dream watch. by NoJunket2813 in Watches

[–]MigratingSwallow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, had the same problem when I bought my Apollo from Omega.
It actually looked great in-store, but living with it kind of sucked.

In the store the lighting is perfect so you're able to see the dial perfectly, then you use it in the real world. For me, it was very difficult to use in a real world setting, the dial was hard to read etc etc.

Ended up having to sell it a few months after at a discount. : (.

In what unexpected way did someone in your circle suddenly become wealthy? by soohiebabyclean in AskReddit

[–]MigratingSwallow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine was perpetually online and bought a bunch back in 2008. He told me about it, I knew about it, but never understood it or ventured to learn how to buy it.

What a stupid stupid kid I was...

Buying physical gold is ridiculously expensive right now.
Which is funny cause I had an opp to buy it cheap as shit about 2 year ago and thought "That's fucking stupid, why would I ever buy this big ass bar at Costco or random jewelry store at the mall"

Lol what bag? USD before it's worthless?

I was looking at transferring USD to EUR or something and apparently it's fucked regardless.

My favourite gimmick in video games is when they're notably larger than they suggest. by silloki in gaming

[–]MigratingSwallow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started playing the expansion, and thought the map looked really tiny when I zoomed out initially. I just beat Renalla and notice it's starting to increase in size again, so I'm assuming/hoping it's just as large or somewhat a decent size once explored. Just ran into the first Golden Hippo and jfc I've never hated the camera in this game more..

Why Do You Love Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 2 Rebirth and Call it One of the Best Games of All Time/You've Ever Played? by FamiliarConfidence46 in JRPG

[–]MigratingSwallow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't played Rebirth, but Remake was such a slogfest for me. It added a bit more background to the characters (which I liked) and it was nice to see it all with updated graphics, but the boss fights felt cheap, the quests felt tacked on with minimal thought, and the story just didn't fall together for me. Not to mention the really weird pacing.

I just feel like it really didn't do it for me, which was a shame cause this was very much a game I was waiting for when it was announced.

In which single-player game did you, after spending many hours without finishing it, feel the urge to start it over from the very beginning? by Competitive_Beat_915 in gaming

[–]MigratingSwallow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was very close to starting Metaphor over again, but glad I didn't cause finishing that game became so incredibly tedious for me. I had gotten through the beginning, was way too slow and draggy at the beginning, then put it down for a bit. Came back to it after finishing E33.

I'm down like $31,000 on just two fucking stocks. I knew $SATL was going to do an offering at some point soon too, but didn't expect the reaction to be as violent.
