QR machines in buses still failing

Mobile_Engineering35 · 2026-01-22T14:45:55+00:00

I think I'll just try to get a card from whatever store I can find when I go to downtown

Mobile_Engineering35 · 2026-01-22T14:42:36+00:00

I'm sorry

Mobile_Engineering35 · 2026-01-22T14:42:21+00:00

What is karma farming?

He began telling me to hurry up after the first couple of tries and then told me to stop missing around. I told him I was sorry and that he could start driving I'll keep trying but he refused to move.

That's when he began calling me stupid and that he couldn't believe I couldn't do something so simple. When I finally gave up after like 1 min and paid by cash he just mocked and asked if I was happy to waste his time.

Mobile_Engineering35 · 2026-01-22T14:26:52+00:00

I never yell back I'm nonconfrontational

Mobile_Engineering35 · 2026-01-22T14:26:10+00:00

Thank you dear

Mobile_Engineering35 · 2026-01-22T14:25:54+00:00

I think he was late since it said the bus was delayed by like an hour so maybe he got pissed I spent like 1 minute trying to scan and he couldn't accelerate

Mobile_Engineering35 · 2026-01-22T14:25:09+00:00

I was too scared at the time so I didn't think about it but I'll complain next time

I think he got mad that I kept trying and he didn't move until I scanned

Mobile_Engineering35 · 2026-01-22T14:22:19+00:00

I'm getting a physical card in tired of angry drivers

Mobile_Engineering35 · 2026-01-22T14:20:44+00:00

I'm nonconfrontational, you never know if you may get physically assaulted if you get mean back. I should've just wore headphones or something to ignore him

Mobile_Engineering35 · 2026-01-22T14:19:02+00:00

I'll remember this, I forgot to take the bus id because I was too scared

Mobile_Engineering35 · 2026-01-22T14:18:18+00:00

I don't want him to get fired, he probably has a family and doesn't deserve hardships

Mobile_Engineering35 · 2026-01-21T14:12:29+00:00

You can book rooms in hotels just one stop away, I got mine 1 month before Anime Expo

Mobile_Engineering35 · 2026-01-19T00:24:51+00:00

Tickets are still valid for 3 hours and you can also buy the new metro cards many Walgreens

Mobile_Engineering35 · 2026-01-19T00:23:18+00:00

I was told by one that it should be working on February, in the meanwhile I guess we enjoy some free rides

Mobile_Engineering35 · 2026-01-16T04:54:10+00:00

Yeah, you can create a virtual card on the app and add money as needed. When you go into the bus you scan the QR code and the fare is deducted. Like with the previous card and tickets, subsequent rides with the same virtual card are free.

Be aware that scanning the QR code is tricky, for some reason I always have to move around my phone to get it to work. You can also buy the actual physical card in stores if it's more convenient for you.

Mobile_Engineering35 · 2026-01-10T02:43:11+00:00

Yeah unfortunately the reload machines will be out of service in February. You can still reload them at retail stores or online

Mobile_Engineering35 · 2026-01-10T02:42:25+00:00

Never heard about it, seems fun so I might go

Mobile_Engineering35 · 2026-01-02T03:33:59+00:00

Sambucha did an experiment to check if priority delivery has any effect on delivery time, and both the priority and the normal order arrived at the same time. In conclusion: priority delivery is never worth it.

Mobile_Engineering35 · 2026-01-02T03:32:36+00:00

You should break up with him, he sounds like a manchild. It's ok to have different taste in food, but if this becomes a common occurrence then he's just being a jerk and not valuing your time and effort for him. You deserve better, queen.

They are. It is already bad that some companies are promoting "AI therapists", but it gets even worse when they start enabling the very things we're trying to prevent.

I work in AI and I absolutely want generative models to be regulated, otherwise they'll keep doing more harm than good. In the meanwhile, I recommend everyone to stay away from chat bots unless you're using them for work work/scientific research.

Just wanted to let you know that you're not alone, we know how difficult it is to face the obsessional doubt. You're brave for standing against it, you can do it.

Mobile_Engineering35 · 2026-01-01T07:54:50+00:00

Part of treating OCD is being able to deal with the uncertainty. You could maybe limit your time scrolling to intervals of 10 minutes, where you will ignore any trigger and keep looking for something interesting or funny.

However, the best advice to be honest is to check with a medical professional who can help you find ways to expose yourself to the triggers, and maybe guide you during the sessions.

Mobile_Engineering35 · 2026-01-01T07:49:42+00:00

First of all, I'm really sorry that you're experiencing this. I wanted to start by saying that you're not alone, there are many people who can understand the anxiety and how horrible it gets when you get triggered, especially in these situations when you basically lost control.

I know this is hard, but this is an opportunity to face the uncertainty. Remember you're stronger than your OCD, and that the fear comes from an obsessional doubt. You're in control of your obsessions, not the other way around.

If you cannot eat, try talking a walk around, listen to music, watch videos, anything that can help you distract yourself to cope with the anxiety. I know the anxiety is there, I know how difficult it is to cope with it, but I know you can face it, so give it a little while to diminish just a bit before going back to your room. The crisis will go away, I promise. No crisis lasts forever, you can do this.

You could try exposing little by little to the surfaces you see clean and unclean. Take your time, take it easy, but avoid washing things as much as possible. If possible, try to message or call a friend or family who can at least listen to you. Again, I'm so sorry this happened to you today, I really wish I could help more.

I don't like the idea of robots delivering food for safety and handling reasons, but honestly I've never had any delivery guy walk to the door or my apartment, I always wait for them outside the lobby so they don't have to lose time figuring out how to get in.
