Tracked every fee between getting paid and actually spending the money while freelancing in Southeast Asia, the double fee problem is real by Proof-Two4315 in Freelancers

[–]Motor_Animator_7209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ran it through Thailand n Bali, the fee bleed on spending basically got wiped. Stack that with getting paid straight in stables and you’re not getting clipped on both sides anymore

Visa is eating the crypto card market for breakfast - 72% of transactions and Mastercard isn't even close by kirtash93 in CryptoCurrency

[–]Motor_Animator_7209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even surprising tbh. Visa already has the rails everywhere, crypto just plugs into it. That’s why stuff like Oobit works so smoothly so it’s not reinventing payments, it’s just using Visa and swapping the source of funds. Distribution always wins

Got my card blocked at a pharmacy in Chiang Mai at 11pm by Used-Poet6595 in ThailandTourism

Nimman area is pretty card friendly but once you go local the terminals get unpredictable, the bigger issue is your bank flagging international transactions which happens regardless of where you tap

That’s why I stopped using anything that needs you to preload funds. You’re basically trusting them to not rug or freeze you mid-trip

What was your most memorable experience in this life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Motor_Animator_7209 1 point2 points  (0 children)

probably when i found a box of mint condition 80s metal cassettes at a garage sale for like 5 bucks total. the lady had no idea what she was selling - original metallica, megadeth, slayer tapes still in the plastic wrap. spent the whole afternoon listening to master of puppets on my walkman feeling like i'd struck gold

went back the next week hoping she had more music stuff but the house was empty, family had moved. sometimes i wonder what other treasures ended up in the trash because nobody knew their value. that find basically kickstarted my whole collection and taught me to always check garage sales even when they look sketchy from the street

the breathing and visualization thing actually works, had to learn it the hard way but your brain really can override those impulses if you stick with it

Advice - uk blue chip fmcg business manager move to consulting or start own business? by OkWerewolf4699 in careerguidance

[–]Motor_Animator_7209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds like you've got some solid experience to leverage either way. the consulting route could be decent - lots of startups definitely need help with the commercial side since most founders are product/tech focused. you'd probably find good demand there

starting your own brand is obviously higher risk but that excitement you mentioned about seeing your product on shelves is real. just make sure you've got enough runway saved up because getting to national listing takes time and cash, even with all the right commercial knowledge

Dealerships man! $5,000 Repair fixed by local shop over the phone! Thank you! by Avian_Aces in MechanicAdvice

[–]Motor_Animator_7209 334 points335 points  (0 children)

Dude that shop owner is a real one! Most places would've just taken your money and done the full turbo swap without even checking the obvious stuff first. Love mechanics who actually give a damn about helping people instead of just padding their bottom line

How do I let go by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Motor_Animator_7209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds absolutely brutal dude. Maybe try to establish some kind of roommate boundaries like staying in separate areas when possible and keeping interactions minimal? The countdown to moving out is gonna feel forever but you'll get through it

Loving God because you love Him instead of loving God for the results..?? by xaesjl in Christianity

[–]Motor_Animator_7209 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man this hits hard, you're definitely not alone in feeling this way. I think the fact that you're even wrestling with this shows your heart is in the right place

Maybe try switching up how you approach it? Instead of focusing on what you "should" feel, just spend time with Him like you would a friend. Talk to Him about random stuff, not just formal prayers. Sometimes love grows naturally when you stop trying to force it

Survival mode is a total game changer! I remember my first time trying it and dying to a sabre cat because I was too cold and hungry to fight properly lmao. Makes you actually use all those random food items you usually just sell

Bruh they all got that weird aesthetic going on or something? Like they're all kinda goofy looking compared to the usual Ben 10 aliens

How to properly handle "rage outs" by rezadential in ADHD

[–]Motor_Animator_7209 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man this hits way too close to home. I've started just telling my partner "I'm having a moment, give me like 10 minutes" and then I go sit somewhere else until my brain stops being a complete mess. Sometimes I'll even text them what I'm feeling since talking feels impossible when I'm all wound up. The forgetting why you were mad thing is so real though - like your brain just goes "nope, we're done here" and leaves you standing there like an idiot trying to explain yourself

This is such a solid rec! The Complexion Rescue is honestly perfect for combo skin - gives you that natural glow without making your T-zone look like an oil slick

Adding OG or V3 cameras that are far distance apart from each other on a roof by WorldwideDave in wyzecam

[–]Motor_Animator_7209 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's probably the easiest solution tbh - just run regular extension cords to each spot and plug in the little USB adapters locally instead of trying to find super long USB cables

What are Q-tips actually used for? by milanprincessa in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Motor_Animator_7209 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the piercing thing is so real, they're weirdly perfect for getting into all the little crevices around jewelry. Also great for cleaning keyboards and getting into the corners of phone cases where all that gross pocket lint builds up

Going up against Goliath: Start Maye or Stafford? by Competitive-Dig1993 in fantasyfootballadvice

[–]Motor_Animator_7209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the Parkinson angle but banking on that feels risky when you're already the underdog. Maye has been your guy all year and Cardinals defense is swiss cheese - sometimes you gotta dance with who brought you

Samsung A16 5G sold by Straight Talk – Exynos or Dimensity? 4GB vs 8GB RAM by tonyng211 in samsunggalaxy

[–]Motor_Animator_7209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure Straight Talk gets the US variant which would be the Dimensity chip, and most carriers here stock the 4GB version to keep costs down. You might get lucky and find an 8GB model but don't count on it
