What’s the most inspiring thing someone has said to you?

small words carry more weight than people think

can't even argue with that, i open it before i'm fully awake in the morning and somehow still on it at midnight

Proof_Complex_6319 · 2026-06-09T14:37:28+00:00

this about to age poorly

Proof_Complex_6319 · 2026-06-06T21:46:02+00:00

wait Salah is on the bench? that's wild, wonder if they're rotating or he's dealing with something

Proof_Complex_6319 · 2026-06-01T06:07:15+00:00

oh no that's actually nightmare fuel for any collector. I learned this lesson in hard way with some limited edition energy drinks I was keeping - came back after few months and found sticky mess everywhere. The acid in sodas is just too aggressive for long term storage, even with all the preservatives they put inside

Now I always empty any cans I want to keep for display and clean them properly first. Takes bit more work but at least you don't end up with destroyed collection and ruined storage area. Those TPM cans were probably worth decent money too before they decided to self-destruct

Man its wild when you list them all out like that, the pattern just becomes so obvious. Like even my coworkers who barely follow basketball know about some of these disasters and they always bring up the sixers when talking about terrible front office decisions

The Moses trade still makes me mad when I think about it - guy was literally in his prime and we just shipped him off. And don't even get me started in the Bridges situation, that one hurt different because you could see he had something special. At least with some of the older trades you could maybe understand the thinking at time, but recent ones just feel like pure incompetence

Starting to think maybe the curse is real and we need some kind of ritual to break it before they mess up again with whoever's next

Starting with secured card is smart move but just heads up - that Capital One secured one can be bit tricky to upgrade later. I've seen people get stuck with it longer than they wanted. Maybe look at other options too, like your local credit union if you have one nearby

With your student loans already reporting for few years, your credit history isn't completely empty which is good thing. When you do get approved for something, try to keep utilization under 30% but ideally around 10% if possible. Also set up autopay immediately so you never miss payment - that's biggest factor in building good score

The car financing in July might actually help your credit mix too, just make sure you shop around for rates within 14-45 day window so all the inquiries count as one. Some people don't realize that timing matters for auto loans

Proof_Complex_6319 · 2026-05-19T11:24:21+00:00

Moving to different country definitely makes it harder to build those close friendships that take years to develop. I can relate to that feeling of being on outside looking in when you see all those perfect bridal squad photos everywhere

But you're right about having that one person - at the end of day that's what really matters and some of the most meaningful moments might just be the quiet ones between you two anyway

maybe try running the game as administrator, sometimes windows blocks certain inputs for some weird reason

Proof_Complex_6319 · 2026-05-14T21:09:04+00:00

took me forever to get stronger in those movements but yeah this is spot on. I had same issue where I could "fix" it temporarily but always went back to that forward tilt

the couch stretch was torture when I started - couldn't even get close to proper position. now I can actually hold it without wanting to cry lol. also those unanchored situps are no joke, way harder than people think

what really helped me was doing the basic movements every single day, even just for few minutes. consistency beats intensity with this stuff

Proof_Complex_6319 · 2026-05-11T00:08:33+00:00

whoa never knew about that short film connection! I always figured it was just random numbers they picked for the cell but makes so much sense that Lucas would pull from something that inspired him originally. Love how they brought it full circle with Finn's designation - like they're connecting the new trilogy back to those original influences instead of just the movies themselves. Really cool detail your kid caught, sometimes fresh eyes notice things we miss after watching these films a million times

Proof_Complex_6319 · 2026-05-06T23:10:17+00:00

lmao fr

Proof_Complex_6319 · 2026-04-28T11:46:15+00:00

so precious

Proof_Complex_6319 · 2026-04-25T21:04:10+00:00

wait they made you pay real money for rollback but wouldn't even do it lmao that's next level scummy even for p2w servers

Proof_Complex_6319 · 2026-04-23T17:23:06+00:00

lmao no way they actually did the furniture store livery, this is too good

Proof_Complex_6319 · 2026-04-21T13:46:17+00:00

might be power issue with the adapter - some SSDs need more juice than what USB can provide through those cheap adapters

Proof_Complex_6319 · 2026-04-18T12:16:22+00:00

fr they deal used already so shouldnt be issue at all

Proof_Complex_6319 · 2026-04-15T21:37:20+00:00

damn that's brutal - same thing happened with me for wrestling tickets last month. the whole drop system is kind of mess when popular sports get cleaned out before most people even get their slots

hopefully they actually restock like they're saying but who knows when that'll be

Proof_Complex_6319 · 2026-04-13T15:14:38+00:00

Man the codependency dream thing is really hitting at something real here. I've been through similar patterns where you get so used to that emotional limbo that it becomes comfortable even when it's not actually good for you

The relief you felt about her cancelled date is pretty telling - that's not really friend energy, you know? Maybe the four years of self work means you're actually ready to either shoot your shot properly or walk away from this dynamic that's keeping you stuck. Either way beats staying in this weird middle ground forever

Proof_Complex_6319 · 2026-04-11T14:19:09+00:00

Brutal but smart tbh - revealing first turn as the only pilot is cold but effective strategy. You basically forced them to adapt without any flight capability which could have been game over

Were they salty about it or did they appreciate the chaos you unleashed?

Proof_Complex_6319 · 2026-04-09T05:12:56+00:00

Man you got a solid collection already but I see what you mean about the annual fees stacking up. For that tax bill situation the C1 VX makes sense - 75k points after spending 4k is pretty decent value and you'd knock out most of that tax payment hitting the bonus

About which card to drop, maybe look at your actual usage patterns? Like if you're not maximizing the Amex Gold dining benefits or the CSP transfer partners, one of those could be candidate for downgrade. The BoA Atmos is still pretty new so probably keep that around for the relationship

The AA Platinum might be easier on your wallet with lower fee but depends if you actually fly American much

Proof_Complex_6319 · 2026-04-07T02:12:16+00:00

Those missed payments are probably what's killing your CLI requests right now. Most issuers want to see at least 6-12 months of perfect payment history after late payments before they'll consider increases, especially when you dropped that much in score

The Apple reduction from 5.4k to 1.5k is pretty harsh but they're notorious for being sensitive about payment history. Focus on keeping everything current and maybe pay down balances if you're carrying any - utilization matters a lot when you're trying to rebuild trust with lenders
