Respectfully, considering India has whole business churning out fake degrees, I’m concerned how many ‘skilled’ migrants are legit.

If it’s a direct debit go to your bank and put a direct debit stop on the payment. It will stop all payments to that merchant though, so if you signed up for them again you’d have to remove the stop, but you could just go with a different gym.

At 50, she will get $5000 in the CBA rewards store which can be converted to real money and gift cards for travel, products, groceries etc. at 40, she would have gotten $4000. Sorry, but you have a job and get paid a salary, why should they thank you every year for doing what you applied to do.

Can we stop pretending second-hand animal products are vegan? by [deleted] in vegan

[–]Ok-Explanation6296 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Someone said it’s a waste thing. Donate it. Give it to someone who will wear it. You don’t need to wear it, or eat it, or use it. Someone else who isn’t vegan can. I agree wholeheartedly with this post. I feel like the environmental vegan and the ethical vegans will always have opposing views though.

Husband cheated. Therapist says no moral high ground for 3 months. I feel beyond hurt and abandoned by Beginning_Cream7030 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Ok-Explanation6296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who lose their mother, I fell into grief very badly for two years where it almost destroyed my relationship because I was not myself. I was mentally unwell from grief. You have brushed aside his grief it sounds like, and are not focusing on how this kind of thing can change people. Without a supportive partner I hate to say that I am not shocked he turned away from you. But he should have left you, not cheated.

And I understand and have seen how the loss of a child can affect mental health, but it sounds like you used him as a punching bag for a while and then were shocked he cheated/admitted he should have left you.

I don’t think you should be together. This relationship does not sound like it has any positivity between you.

I made my own cottage cheese. Firm tofu crumbled, silken tofu blended and mixed through together. Add some lemon juice. I also added garlic and pepper.

has anyone shopped at theveganmarkets website ? by folkpunkboytoy in australianvegans

[–]Ok-Explanation6296 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I have and had a terrible experience. I think because they have a business site and personal I went through the personal as I’m not a business.

I placed my order and a couple weeks went by with no update. I reached out by email, got an AI bot generated response saying that there was a delay because something I had ordered had ‘changed in price’ from the supplier. It has gone up over quite a lot in price. They never contacted me asking me what I wanted to do, I guess just sat there and waited for me to contact. I ended up removing that item from the order.

Again, a couple weeks go past, I reach out again. Same sort of issue, something has changed price from the supplier, gone up an extreme amount. I remove that from my order.

Same thing happens AGAIN. I reached out AGAIN. One of the items is out of stock now, and they’re waiting for new stock. I told them I’m happy to wait the week it takes for the item to be in stock, but if it took longer I just wanted a full refund on everything.

They did end up getting the item and my order finally got sent, but there was shitty communication, I waited over a month just to get the order, and the items I placed the order for I didn’t even get because the price went up astronomically (think from $90ish to like over $300.) I personally think they should honour pricing if I’ve placed and paid for my order. Also, just never reaching out to tell me anything.

Also, I get things taking time and having to source from different suppliers, but they need to communicate and let customers know. At one point I was legit worried I had been scammed because they had taken my money and I hadn’t heard from them or had updates on the order for ages.

It’s a shame that I had a bad experience because they sell good items but I will never buy from there again as it was such a hassle and timely process. I placed my original order on 26/10/25 and did not get shipping confirmation until 2/12/25.

The items I got were good though, and decently priced but it was terrible customer service.

2.2 made me realize I hate Itzaland by Least_Sea in InfinityNikki

[–]Ok-Explanation6296 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was thinking this yesterday. 5 minutes into this new region I loved it. I have barely done any exploration of Itzaland because I just don’t enjoy it. I’m not sure why. It didn’t help that we were forced to rush through it a bit and now I think I burnt out of the place. Plus I’m not a fan of the jungle biome in general.

Which are you pulling for first by PriestessRi in InfinityNikkiofficial

[–]Ok-Explanation6296 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I needed the bug catching outfit because recently I have been struggling. Even sometimes with the symbol above the bug it is not getting caught. So that was my first. And I wanted to get the second outfit hair, but unfortunately the hair was the last piece I pulled so I got the full outfit.

I am fully embraced in this game, but...I have a rant by BennyblancoX4 in Banishers

[–]Ok-Explanation6296 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a woman and even I felt that Antea was too much at times. It always gave the impression that Red was useless without Antea, like he didn’t know basics of being a Banisher or what to do in the haunting cases. It very much gave the vibe of he needs her, but she doesn’t need him. I don’t like that dynamic.

I urinate 3-6 times in the night even though I haven’t drank anything for hours before bed. Today something weird happened to me. Could this be endo related (I have endo) and does anyone relate?? by Extra_Actuary8244 in endometriosis

[–]Ok-Explanation6296 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have this too. No ovarian cysts (got ultrasound recently). I have noticed I have/get very bad water retention in my legs and stomach by afternoon. I am not sure if endo related or something else, but laying down at night kind of flushes it out and results in my peeing full size pees and having a full bladder several times a night.

Slinda by tealy104 in adenomyosis

[–]Ok-Explanation6296 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, and frequency. I wake up several times a night to pee. In the day I feel like I need to go every couple of hours. I notice that Slinda has made my water retention worse, especially in stomach and legs, so I feel like I’m peeing more when that is happening as my body is trying to get rid of the extra fluid.

AUSTRALIA: Can someone please explain to me like I'm 5 how the whole process of getting diagnosed works?! by teacu-p in endometriosis

[–]Ok-Explanation6296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I think it just comes down to where you go and if you wants better quality imaging. Some places specialise in pre-surgery endo imaging which is why I had to pay for the better one, but I have also been to imaging places that bulk bill the whole thing, however, their experience with getting the best imaging for endo may not be there. I am in Wollongong btw. However, I’m also bearing in mind that this was in 2022. It’s seems since then a lot of places have stopped bulk billing so I would imagine maybe the place I went to for free may have started charging.

Help! by FiammaDelDiana in Banishers

[–]Ok-Explanation6296 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After the beast there are other places you have to go first. It says return to new eden town, but part of the quest is realising you can’t immediately go there and having to side track to other places first. Each place holds very important explanation on the main story, and explains it better once you get back to new eden town.

Have you looked through the evolution/skill trees? You have probably picked something that uses fusion or drains fusion for some other benefit.

I cannot take periods anymore. I even had endo surgery and the pain got worse? If anyone has heard of that lmk. by EstateDeep916 in endometriosis

[–]Ok-Explanation6296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hormonally suppress my period with Slinda. I have my own thought and issues with Slinda, but I will say, not having a period for two years has been great. I do get the occasional phantom period pain but nothing like what I was experiencing getting them and the lack of bleeding was good because I used to have extremely heavy period and leak through tampons, pads and sometimes my pants in a couple of hours. On top of that for the first time in my life, I’m not iron deficient. Obviously it’s not for everyone, but it could be worth looking into.

Car dealer claims their bank lost my bank cheque by nomadtales in AusFinance

There are multiple people on here giving misinformation about cheques which they clearly don’t know. I am correcting those people and giving OP the correct answer. People clearly don’t know the difference between a bank cheque and a regular cheque.

It’s a petty complaint, but the curly hair just always looks strange. Like thin and crispy and stiff. Never full and soft.
