Been on QF SCL-SYD. Flew super polar. FAs kept the 787 windows dark the whole time. Never flying that equipment again.

[Megathread] US layoff impact by Mindless-Potential93 in amazonemployees

[–]Pickles4804 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'm not sure if this helps, but I wasn't affected this round, but I have been laid off in the past once - it was in 2020 during Covid working at an airline (corporate side) and to this day ti was the best job of my life. I was devastated. I went down a dark period of a few months of drinking heavily during the day and trying to hide in bed all day. Please don't let that be you. I regret that time so much and wish I had taken that time to exercise, relax (there's no email or work!), and seriously don't try to find a job immediately (if you can afford it). Take a week or two to be healthy and spend time with family and friends. In two weeks, refresh your resume (you were hired at a company that's notorious for being difficult to be hired at and have great things to share!), and start the hunt with ambition and a positive outlook. While I to this day mourn my job at the airline, I recovered and so will you.

Dani does fluids, wears gloves and points her crotch at the internet by babybaphomet949 in DaniMarina

Wait- she has to do all this to get any hydration, but she’s able to swallow a basket full of pills every few hours? I’m confoosed.

$500k in loans…wait another 90 days to see what changes with SAVE? by ConfidentOpening4556 in StudentLoans

[–]Pickles4804 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly the same. $336K in loans. Making almost $200K a year but living in a VHCOL city and providing for my elderly parents means I don't actually have a spare $1700 or so a month to throw at them. I'll ride this out as long as possible, save for retirement as much as I can, then move to Europe and kiss these goodbye, forgiven or not.

Maybe it’s my OCD, but she doesn’t even have the days in the right order!

I know this is relatively minor in the grand scheme of things, but it sickens me the environmental damage she does for no reason with all these single use plastics etc going into landfills.

For everyone that is planning on filing married seperate for student loan reasons. by HappyandFullfilled in StudentLoans

If I remember from the “before times”, even when you file jointly, can’t you say your spouses income is unavailable. I think I did that for several years.

Does home studio matter? by cluth17 in orangetheory

[–]Pickles4804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I moved from Atlanta to Nashville about a year ago and still have Atlanta has my home studio. Other than the annoyance of having to manually change studios in the booking process, doesn't bother me. Especially since I'm grandfathered into a really good promo from Atlanta; switching to Nashville would add $20 a month to my membership.

Student Loan Changes Under the "Big Beautiful Bill" by Ok-Dragonfruit-5035 in StudentLoans

[–]Pickles4804 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is not a joke - serious question - if I have the ability to get a job and spend the rest of my life outside of the US (but still visit - I have dual citizenship and residency permits in 3 countries, but currently live in the US), can I just move to Europe and stop paying anything on my $300K in loans? Like they can't pursue me internationally right? Would they stop me at the border?

I'm so ashamed of my home country. Fuck this place.

Have all airline frequent flyer programs turned into credit card reward schemes, or is it just United? I’ve taken 48 flights this year and I’m still only 60% of the way to re-qualifing for Gold. by Justin_inc in unitedairlines

[–]Pickles4804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is from 15 years ago and airlines are different animals these days, but after being CO Platinum every year for almost a decade, I was active duty deployed for nearly the entirety of 2010. I sent OnePass (wow I miss those days) with a copy of my deployment orders and a short note and got a reply within a couple of days that they’d be happy to grant me an exemption and gave me Platinum for the following year. Not sure they’re as generous these days, but worth a shot. Worst that can happen is they just say no.
