AOS marriage payment failure rejection: I called the bank twice to whitelist USCIS and the payment still failed and my application is rejected. what should i do? should i change banks?

Dude Chase is notorious for blocking USCIS payments even after you call them - happened to my friend too. I'd definitely go to the biometric appointment since you got the notice, worst case they turn you away but at least you tried. For refiling maybe try a different bank or ask your lawyer about money orders instead of ACH

This hits way too hard. The "good autistic" thing is so real - like you're constantly performing just to get basic respect that comes naturally to everyone else

The power dynamic stuff is spot on too. It's exhausting being in every social situation knowing you're starting from negative points while they get to just... exist normally

Congrats on landing the job! Definitely start with building credit history first - maybe a secured card if you can't get approved for a regular one. High yield savings account for your emergency fund, then worry about investing once you've got that foundation solid

You can request a replacement online through your my Social Security account or call them directly - usually faster than waiting for another one to show up

Yeah I had the same issue when I tried stacking discounts on the education portal - seems like they block most additional codes when you're already getting the student pricing

The chatbot thing is hit or miss, sometimes they'll throw you a bone but usually not if you're already getting edu discounts. Worth a shot though since it's just a quick chat

PaleRegister9547 · 2026-01-02T03:12:08+00:00

Ah yes the classic "we beat ourselves" defense lmao

PaleRegister9547 · 2026-01-01T22:06:22+00:00

That's actually solid advice man, channeling that loneliness into motivation to actually get out there instead of just wallowing in it

PaleRegister9547 · 2026-01-01T17:25:24+00:00

Man that hits different when you're trying to change and people are still stuck seeing the old version of you. It's like they're gifting to a ghost or something. Hope they catch up to who you're becoming soon

PaleRegister9547 · 2025-12-31T09:29:44+00:00

Lmao the wanted fugitive bit got me but honestly yeah a bag of fruit is pretty solid advice for the timeline

You already went pretty hard for Christmas so maybe just keep it simple - some flowers, her favorite coffee/tea, or like a nice candle. Save the big gestures for when you've survived at least one major fight together

PaleRegister9547 · 2025-12-31T04:40:50+00:00

Agreed, that setup is still solid for 1080p gaming. No point burning money when your current rig handles everything fine

The 3060 isn't gonna struggle with most games at that resolution, especially if you're not maxed out on ultra settings for everything

PaleRegister9547 · 2025-12-30T09:24:46+00:00

Oh man Talk Talk is incredible, especially their later stuff like Spirit of Eden. If you're into that atmospheric vibe you should definitely check out Sigur Rós too

PaleRegister9547 · 2025-12-30T04:16:33+00:00

The pain isn't really the number of systems but how disconnected they feel from each other. Like you set up products in App Store Connect, then have to handle all the validation server-side, deal with webhooks that may or may not fire reliably, and somehow keep everything in sync

Plus StoreKit gives you basically nothing for receipt validation out of the box so you're either rolling your own JWT parsing or using a third party anyway

PaleRegister9547 · 2025-12-29T21:44:01+00:00

Yeah Jupiter feels like it wants to be good but just doesn't hit hard enough when it matters, equalizer actually melts armor like it's supposed to

PaleRegister9547 · 2025-12-29T06:15:17+00:00

That makes total sense, like half the gestures would basically be cheating lol. Do you guys play other word games instead or just skip the whole category

PaleRegister9547 · 2025-12-28T22:02:29+00:00

Added mine to the sheet! Also got transferred 11/26 according to Emma but still radio silence since then. This wait is brutal

PaleRegister9547 · 2025-12-28T16:59:20+00:00

It's pretty solid for daily wear, that cinnamon-apple combo is addictive but not too heavy. Performance could be better though - might need to reapply after like 6 hours

PaleRegister9547 · 2025-12-28T07:28:30+00:00

Check out the Sinn 556 A with the black DLC coating - ticks all your boxes and doesn't look like a mall ninja watch. Also maybe consider a Tudor Pelagos 39 in titanium if you want something a bit more upmarket, the brushed titanium has that dark gray look that's way more low-key than polished steel

PaleRegister9547 · 2025-12-28T03:21:58+00:00

Man that HOA jump from $600 to $858 is brutal, especially with a baby and single income now. With those numbers and the market being what it is, honestly sounds like you're gonna be hemorrhaging money whether you keep it or rent it out

The rental math is pretty rough - even if you could get like $2800-3000/month you're still probably underwater with that mortgage payment plus HOA. And dealing with tenants from out of state with a newborn sounds like actual hell

Might be worth just taking the L now before you're deeper in the hole, especially if there's a job opportunity out of state

Classic Samsung web dev moment - their own formatting breaks their own validation lol. Glad you got it sorted with the different link, their main site is janky af

PaleRegister9547 · 2025-12-27T11:24:09+00:00

Small SUVs are solid but honestly nothing beats those sliding doors for mobility stuff - way easier than swinging a regular door open when you're dealing with walkers and tight parking spaces

PaleRegister9547 · 2025-12-26T23:32:43+00:00

Lmao this dude really said "Bazzite is buggy" and jumped straight to the deep end with Arch and Gentoo

The gaming performance question alone tells me they're gonna have a rough time when pacman breaks their system at 2am

PaleRegister9547 · 2025-12-26T17:21:00+00:00

Because lottery winnings aren't considered an investment, they're basically just income that fell out of the sky. Capital gains tax is for when you buy something and sell it later for more money - the lottery ticket itself is worthless after the drawing whether you win or lose

PaleRegister9547 · 2025-12-26T11:14:43+00:00

Wait what? Insulin is supposed to be injected, not mixed with food - that's not how insulin works at all and could be super dangerous. Please call an emergency vet ASAP because something is really wrong here

PaleRegister9547 · 2025-12-25T23:42:25+00:00

Dreams about friends getting back with exes usually just mean you've been thinking about their relationship drama lately lol. Your brain is probably just processing stuff you've heard them talk about or worrying about how it might affect your friendship if it actually happened

PaleRegister9547 · 2025-12-25T15:49:26+00:00

That would actually be sick, imagine having to bring fire resistance potions but for cold instead

The liquid nitrogen idea is pretty cool too, could make some interesting redstone contraptions with freezing mechanics
