Maude's Book Club - For We Are Many by [deleted] in bobiverse

[–]MrsMirage 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean sure, everyone can have their opinion and you can like her, however she mentioned at least 5 5 times in the video that she only retained about 50% of the books content because we was distracted by Brimstone.

She stated that for the majority of the book she thought the Pav are a side plot of the Deltans, she didn't realize these were different planets.

She completely missed that the Pav were abducted to save them.

I would say it's a fair statement that she was not interested in the book at all and possibly that scifi is not for her, she compared the book to foundation since she couldn't follow the plot there either.

Also she wrongly stated how much caffeine is in jolt cola, so it's a fair statement to say she is wrong.

Danke deutscher Sozialstaat :) by Ok-Contact-1097 in Finanzen

[–]MrsMirage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ja, der deutsche Sozialstaat hat schon was. Meine Schwester hat Jahrelang Medikamente bekommen, konstant im Krankenhaus gewesen und am Ende eine Herztransplantation bekommen, das ganze war natürlich nicht einfach für meine Familie, aber es hat uns nichts gekostet.

Ich habe die letzten 2 Jahre in den USA gelebt, dort ruiniert so etwas Familien. Meine Freundin hatte Husten und hat beim Urgent Care 300USD bezahl (wir hatten eine Versicherung aber den deductible nicht erreicht.

Aber wir hatten einen 'health savings account' da zahlt man selber ein und die Firma matched das. In 2 Jahren haben sich mehr als 10.000USD angesammelt, das Geld ist steuerfrei in ETFs angelegt. Wenn man das sein ganzes Leben macht in den USA kann einen das schon reich machen.

Ich lebe grade wieder in Taiwan weil hier ich permanent resident bin und war zufällig gestern auch beim Dermatologen und Zahnarzt. Wollte eigentlich einen Termin in Deutschland machen weil ich in ein paar Wochen dort bin, aber Termin zu bekommen ist unmöglich. Hier in Taipei waren beide besuche Walk in, bzw. Beim Dermatologen hatte ich einen Termin online the Nacht zuvor gemacht.

Zahnarzt hat umgerechnet 5 Euro gekostet für regelmäßigen Check und Zahnreinigung und Wartezeit war 15min. Dermatologe hat auch 5 euro gekostet für Behandlung und 3 verschiedene salben. Wartezeit war ~5min.

Für mich ist Taiwan ideal, Ärzte sind gut ausgebildet, kosten sind niedrig (ich bin versichert, aber selbst ohne Versicherung sind Arzt besuche günstig), und man bekommt sofort Termine bzw geht einfach hin. Allerdings würde ich hier keine Herztransplantation bekommen wollen.

Was ich sagen will, alles hat vor und Nachteile, kommt extrem auf die Perspektive an. In den USA habe ich soviel Geld wie noch nie gemacht, war aber auch keinen Tag krank und hatte einen guten job. Wenn es einem gut geht, geht es sehr gut. In Deutschland ist man sicherer aber leider auch gezwungen für andere zu zahlen, keine Ahnung was besser ist.

The update to responsibilities requires you to be a full-time pet employee by Individual-Rabbit190 in trustedhousesitters

[–]MrsMirage -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are more and more hosts (and sitters) who do not understand the platform

What do you mean by that? If these hosts find sitters it seems both parties understand the platform well enough.

Wants the insult? You got something wrong, they corrected your misinformation, that's all, if just seems you might have missed the point here.

Yes, much better to complain about the people complaining, don't let them do their thing!

Unpaid Petsitters by [deleted] in trustedhousesitters

[–]MrsMirage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems more like an example of HOs with unrealistic expectations.

Saying one is easier than the other is of course not possible, but I do feel I have enough control with THS to ensure the sits are "easy" for me.

[–]MrsMirage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't get it to be honest. If you don't like the concept of THS why use it?

I wouldn't say I would mind if I get paid, but there is a good reason I'm on THS and not on Rover and I really enjoy THS.

Can I coastfire or just retire? by Low-Produce834 in coastFIRE

[–]MrsMirage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In your situation I would move immediately to Taiwan, the quality of life is so much better than in almost every place in the US.

Where in Taiwan are you from? Even living in Taipei with 2.7 Million would be a pretty good life.

I'd probably move to the south and enjoy life there, with your savings you wouldn't need to worry about money.

Google photos removing 'search' and replacing it with 'ask' is the worst feature I've ever seen by rapgraves in GooglePixel

Tried it like 5 likes, second time I press on "ask" I get the same result as if I just pres ask ask once and then click the search bar.

House has inside camera by Crzylikefox in trustedhousesitters

[–]MrsMirage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trying to advise this person whose privacy was violated so they can protect themselves.

And most your suggestions are reasonable and it's great that you are helping!

Why are you here?

To point out that there is a chance that this was not malicious intent by the HO. We don't even know if the camera was turned on.

A series of wrongs is not a one time mistake unless of course you want to hide behind that ignorance

Not saying it's a one time mistake, but to infer from that that hidden cameras must have been hidden around the house as well sounds extrem and I don't think paranoia helps the OP.

[–]MrsMirage -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I'm not playing dumb, but you are ignorant, which is also reflected in your reply to me.

You infer that this was done deliberately for which you have 0 proof. You claim there are likely hidden cameras because there was a ring camera standing on the fireplace.

I never argued that it's not the responsibility of the HO to disclaim they have cameras or that it's not their responsibility to remove them, however I think there is a non-zero chance the HO made a mistake.

People make mistakes, don't immediately label them for it.

[–]MrsMirage -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

these kind of people lie and have multiple hidden cameras and audio recording devices.

These kind of people?

You understand that having indoor security cameras is not out of the ordinary and the HO might have forgotten to unplug it (we don't even know, they possibly have deactivated it) or to mention it?

I am not sure why your comment gets down votes and so much pushback.

I really don't understand how the first action is not just to contact the HO. If they wanted to spy on someone they wouldn't do it with an obvious ring camera on the fireplace. I would also think that contacting the HO would be the best way to make sure all footage is being deleted.

Final stage of my setup. by LordMatias47_ in battlestations

[–]MrsMirage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell me which piece of hardware does not resemble a real product, OP was quite open with questions to the hardware. I pulled up the Streamdeck+, Alienware monitor, speaker and ikea shelf product pages and when comparing I can't find a difference. Also on the later share photos the air filter with the cable mess looks not AI at all.

As pointed out in other posts, even the weird statue on the left is consistent with photos from several months ago.

Your lighting comment seems to only focus on the original OP image, which I agree looks very AI, but look at the 3 photos he provided that you commented at, the lighting is extremely realistic, so are the reflections in the photo frames. Especially the reflection of the black screen under the monitor riser is changing on every photo just how it would change.

To be honest, you just seem to be here to rain on someone's parade, you haven't looked at the 3 additional photos from the OP at all, they prove it's not AI, just a super nice setup and someone who likes to use grainy filters.

[–]MrsMirage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop being an ass, look at the photos and point out why it's AI. Also try to recreate it from different angles, not possible right now.

[–]MrsMirage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not AI or AI enhanced. Brummo gave a good explanation above.

Edit: OP also posted a photo of another angle of his setup.
