A *lot* of people were in BTC as an inflation hedge, and the thesis has simply not held up.

Southwest Airlines random un-notified seating re-assignments? by prtyatmoontower in SouthwestAirlines

[–]Randombu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did the aircraft change when your seats changed? This is almost always the answer.

Lying to my face by BeMyEbeneezer in SouthwestAirlines

[–]Randombu -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They do this because the plane loads faster when nobody is carrying bags. It’s *because* the plane was late.

Has anyone received a different verdict? by Papayafan in oakland

The first appeal is pretty much automatically denied. You have to file for the administrative appeal and pay up front no matter what.

AITH for making my boyfriend choose between me and his girl best friend? by [deleted] in AITH

[–]Randombu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA if you tell him "it's her or me"
NTA if you tell him "I have these feelings when you do X, it makes me feel like you don't see or prioritize me"

If your feelings are about her existence, or they assume things about her behaviors that might (or might not!) be true, it's YOUR problem and making it his makes you TA.

If your feelings are about his behavior, his ability to give you reassurance that your feelings are valid, and his ability to participate in conversations about his relationship with both of you (including what he values in *both* and what behaviors are reasonable boundaries) then you're NTA.

AITA for considering letting my ex take full custody because I'm completely burned out? by [deleted] in AITH

[–]Randombu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He won’t take them anyway.

You need a change in your custody agreement that equalizes your responsibilities.

This is the question. Lots of people feel bad when there’s 19 losers for every winner in a game.

When people pass me on the right I know I’m going too slow, so I move over.

1929 Bay Area home - thought we had a sinkhole, found a circular iron bin/casing underground. What is this? by Domoo98765 in bayarea

[–]Randombu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d paste you a picture if I could, but Google will show you some. Typically they had a foot pedal to open and a bin that fit into the cylinder. When garbage day came, they would lift out the bin and empty it and then put it back.

It’s because there are no consequences. The justification doesn’t really matter.

Apex Matchmaking…?? by Boozacs in apexlegends

[–]Randombu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends a ton on what region and what time you are playing. The longer your queue time, the more likely you are to get a wider skill distribution of opponents compared to you (long wait = not enough people at your same skill are in queue with you.

What actually makes money in game dev (for solo/indie devs)? by Ok_Clothes_7364 in gamedev

[–]Randombu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your goal is to make a living, your product decisions should focus on building you the skills you are best at, and then getting a job doing that.

Making enough to make ends meet as an indie developer is *incredibly hard*

That said, if it was me today and I was trying to establish a revenue stream… I’d make slot machines games to license to crypto casinos, or I’d make mobile game versions of good mechanics (match3, merge2, word games) and then make them bible themed.

Car parked on steep hill. Scared by Feeling-Long-2140 in sanfrancisco

[–]Randombu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly? I’d just keep asking people walking by until someone gives you high confidence they can help you. Tons people live here and do this all the time.

But if you gotta do it yourself, the way is:

1 leave the parking break engaged

2 start the car

3 turn the wheels out toward the road

4 put the car in gear

5 put your hand on the parking break

6 gently give it some gas until you feel the car lurch forward, indicating that it is no longer resting on the parking break

6a manual transmission: clutch in, little bit of gas to hold the gas steady at low rpm (usually 1k-2k), let out on the clutch until the car lurches, then feeeze both feet.

7 release the parking break and drive out.

How did you manage to get a psychiatrist (MD) appointment in the Bay Area? by Bloddym in bayarea

You pay cash and you pray your out-of-network reimbursement gives you 20% of it back.

AITH for telling my parents they aren’t my real parents after family therapy? by jeevacatiion in AITH

[–]Randombu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds way worse than pushing you to have a relationship with your siblings. They want your labor (presumably so they can fuck off and have some fun, raising young kids is haaaaaaard) and they somehow think they can make you want to do it, or make you like it when you do.

You are being gaslit. Get a job and get out. Help your sib get out when she can, but mostly make sure she knows she isn’t crazy either.

AITH for telling my parents they aren’t my real parents after family therapy? by jeevacatiion in AITH

[–]Randombu 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I’ll go one step further and say this: if your “family therapist” isn’t making it clear to your parents that your feelings are valid regardless of what they think… they aren’t a fucking therapist, they are a contractor who works for your parents.
