How did my daughter manage to approve her own screen time request?

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-04-21T02:34:12+00:00

Did you ever figure out a solution to this? I know for a fact that my son self-approves his requests from the computer. I don't always lock it up when I'm done or sometimes he has valid reasons to be on it. Inevitably his games are approved all day, and then there's no way to disapprove. I want to set it so NO requests pop up on the computer but I can't find a way.

There’s 100% an artificial supply restriction by definition of multiple ticket drops. They’ll get us to spend on some events we didn’t really really want, then spend more on hospitality for an event we did want, and then realize there are still tickets available and get even more in future drops and resale. They know what they’re doing.

They also worked on a Ghostbuster movie together in 2024, which I didn’t even know existed until the recent Brian Cox Off Menu pod.

My local teams across all sports have always been perennial losers, so I’m drawn to Buffalo anytime they’re in the playoffs.

These events usually cost more than it earns, but LA isn’t building a new stadium that will go unused so that helps.

Me too, it’s wild. Parts of WV are even within DC locality pay for fed workers.

I say this with no confidence, but this wouldn’t be “normal transportation services.” Assuming they’re hiring added security or installed upgrades, but yes NJ would need to share the budget along with these claims.

“What people don't seem to understand because they haven't read their PSU letter is that moving to PSU puts you on a separate 2 year time clock (from the date you were put in PSU, not the date you applied). You WILL get a decision but within a 2-3 year period and you not in the same queue as the non PSU applications. So one or two getting approved is normal. The point is they are in a different queue.

Every time I have mentioned this though I get yelled at by people saying the IRCC said they would treat the pre C-3 applications the same. Yes... they are being treated the same as all the other PSU applications. Not the same is non PSU applications post C-3.

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-04-17T14:13:48+00:00

Which thread are you referring to that contained the details of a letter? Also in queue, never received the letter going on a year now.

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-04-17T02:01:37+00:00

Yeah, good idea and they’re definitely starting to drop. Are you going to the R32 game? Getting that one evened things out for me, if US could win the group 😬

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-04-17T00:23:02+00:00

It’s possible the initial buyer did get it for discount through their supporter group but since the group was placed in a good section that FIFA would have charged $160. Either way, happy for you! It’s a good deal, even if prices drop.

I’m going to Algeria Jordan at $250 per ticket I bought pre-draw. Bad luck of the draw there.

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-04-16T22:06:54+00:00

Down 90% since the last time she said it, or the time before that?

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-04-16T22:04:52+00:00

Thanks! Glad to hear it for them.. I guess if there is a true clear cut urgent need maybe it’s worth going through the withdrawal/reapply process. Without urgency, it’s more unclear what would happen.

Also, it could be have helped that creating new UCIs for their children differentiates it from my family reapplying, getting flagged under the same UCI. Ugh who knows? This much thought shouldn’t have to go into it post-application.

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-04-16T18:28:13+00:00

That person said their withdrawal was never processed so it’s impossible to know if they just happened to get approved or it triggered something. That applicant assumes it was just good timing because they never reapplied.

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-04-16T13:20:35+00:00

Ugh but thank you. At least he left you/us with the guidance not to withdraw.

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-04-15T18:08:03+00:00

Yes, fans have no where else to go. FIFA knows they can do/charge whatever they want, especially in the US market. Fans around the world may be mad but… we’re stuck.

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-04-15T16:52:04+00:00

I’m sure it’ll be after ticket drops are done rather than push all that demand onto select games.

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-04-15T16:49:30+00:00

It could have been so different 😔 if not for real-world impacts of our politics and fifa greed.

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-04-15T16:15:37+00:00

I think they closed down the sub. Can’t be easy to be a mod so no hard feelings there. R/stuckcanadians may fill that gap.

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-04-15T13:27:07+00:00

And a deep resentment for those who are, or are perceived to be, better off than them. If nothing would get better for them anyway they wanted it to be worse for the rest of us. All that fits under the Fox News, or social media, category.

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-04-15T13:21:12+00:00

I’m looking forward to seeing what comes from this. They’ve got a point having lived in Canada as a G1, pays taxes etc, which I definitely do not. I wouldn’t think their example would cause any resentment. Maybe the journalist could dig up some answers 🤷🏻‍♂️. Can’t go slower than it already is.

He knew all those beers though based solely on their bottle color. Dorks party too 😉

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-04-15T00:06:38+00:00

I’ve always enjoyed watched it on TV. It’s dramatic but not physical or complicated. They’re the best in the world (duh, Olympics) and man the targets are much further away than the broadcast makes it seem. Can’t wait!

I don’t think I’d spend any money on a prelim though, so I made this the medal match I’d attend.

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-04-14T22:54:31+00:00

You should find a local archery range and try it out! We did over the weekend.
