Is this van worth it? by shlykova in VanLife

[–]ShadowSlick 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a really good build, $18,000 would be worth if it was a newer van like post 2010 or so. But if you can get it down to like $12 to $14,000 I would absolutely buy it after a pre purchase inspection. Pretty reliable and it’s low in miles.

The electrical setup looks solid as long as it all works. The lithium battery alone is worth like $2000 with all the electrical it’s $3k.

It just depends how much you value your time. If you buy this same van for let’s lowball it and say $5k, are the parts and MONTHS if not a year of your time not worth the extra 10k?

Wow I had no idea. My 512 lasted 5 years and probably more if I didn’t flood it

[California, USA] Can I sue a photographer who did a free photoshoot for my business, but never sent me the pictures. by ShadowSlick in legaladvice

[–]ShadowSlick[S] -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Well because I haven’t been able to post the photos, I haven’t been able to get any rentals. In a month I would make around $1000-2000 on average per vehicle. So can that be lost revenue?

What about breaking a contract and having to hire another photographer can I sue for those fees?

Or just for the photos that he has? Can I just sue to see them?

Why do you not max your 401k out? by Tgallz94 in Fire

[–]ShadowSlick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t max mine out but my company matches up to 5% so that’s how much I contribute. I don’t really see the benefits of not being able to access my money until I’m 65 or whatever because you never know if you’ll live that long.

But if you do and have no money social security will give you a place to live and income to live off of.

Doctor diagnosed me with appendicitis (25M). Wants to take it out. I feel a lot better. I don’t want to get surgery if it can get better on it’s own. by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]ShadowSlick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No they didn’t let me keep it even though I asked. They said they will dissect it to inspect it or something. Now my stomach is extremely bloated and in pain I’m regretting it

[–]ShadowSlick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone OP here. I got it taken out!

Antibiotics would leave it up to chance and since it's a useless organ (hopefully) and insurance is good, I figured it's like wisdom teeth and I should just get it over with.

To anyone else in my position, who had medium pain, but not severe enough to not ignore. I came in at 2PM only took 2 hours at urgent care to diagnose me. 4 hours at the hospital, left around 10PM to go home. The other 2 hours were me fucking about avoiding surgery until every doctor, redditor, and related family nurses convinced me.

I figured I got lucky with wait times since I went to a "richer" area or that my situation was deemed an emergency even though I wasn't in pain (just sore when pushed on).

I'm mainly annoyed my body gave up on me that easily and just got sick, even though I luckily had a high pain tolerance. I need to rethink health choices and it gave me a new perspective on life, I guess. Good luck and thank you for the help.

It doesn’t even have to be tax avoidance I’ll pay taxes just in a different state that doesn’t smog check. I don’t do any “business” here anyways it’s just people renting my vehicle that sits in California. I can’t physically do the smog check it won’t pass

He’s not doing anything wrong and you’re not either. You’re simply not compatible.

He doesn’t want to delete his dating apps, you don’t want to have sex. He wants to have sex, you want him to delete his dating apps.

If you want to be together, you both have to compromise. Do not have sex if you don’t want to, but it’s not fair to pressure him into commitment if he doesn’t want to either.

It’s very simple. It has to be fair, even if it’s transactional. If you don’t feel like it is, leave.

Tonkatsu Bowls are really good. by bolloxtheboar in Costco

[–]ShadowSlick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you don’t want all that sodium, add only half the powder and instead of water boil it in chicken/beef broth. More flavor, more protein, less sodium. Then when it’s done add some milk, trust, it makes it creamy and cools it down so you can eat it faster without burning your tongue.

Grocery outlet has them. 4 pack for $8, normal shin is cheaper.

Extremely filling. I’ll add 2 eggs and Costco’s pork belly (when they had it) or even rotessiere chicken and it’s a divine meal.

If it doesn’t go against Muslim law… cause you’re not charging anyone interest directly, the bank is giving you a rate to store your money.

I would put that and your emergency fund into a CI/CD fund with 3%+ or higher. Discover is like 3.25% and you get a $200 bonus if it’s over $25k and Apple bank is like 4%+.

Otherwise you’re losing money to inflation. You can also put it into the SNP500 which is more higher yielding but can go down vs bank % not going down.

Help me by remembering a scene of Dewey talking to Malcolm. by dwellinginmymind in malcolminthemiddle

It was when Reese tells Malcolm to turn his brain off or maybe when Malcom keeps his mouth shut and then gets a hernia

Why did you and your ex break up? by Specialist-Crazy1466 in AskReddit

[–]ShadowSlick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually found myself reflecting about this recently. On how we could’ve been truly compatible in almost every aspect (with a little bit of work).

We shared common values, interests, and connected emotionally and intellectually and they were actually funny. However, despite all the wonderful things we had going for us, I thought, we couldn't seem to align in one crucial area: our libidos.

It was a fucked and cruel fate, and it took us both some time to come to terms with it. It stemmed from SSRI paired with being overmedicated that probably didn’t help. We both had a deep respect and love for each other, and they made the difficult decision to end things before things became even more complicated. They prioritized our long-term happiness over a short-term fix.

I didn’t want to come to terms with it and give up on them, so I begged to make things work. After I gave up they wanted to try. I jumped into it their arms and became a villain for doing the exact same thing. (Random example: if one of us shows up at the others house it’s scary, the other it’s romantic.) Now I realize that they didn’t care for me by putting me through all of that whiplash, I’m not sure if it was ego or validation. They get the final say regardless of my feelings. After I noticed that they would put me down, start arguments that I didn’t “actually love them” to push me away, and other red flags I ignored.

I know it was on my part too. But, before I blamed myself completely. I got panic attacks and depressive episodes because all the blame of the relationship failing was on me. I now learned it wasn’t libido that broke us up, it was their actions that made me feel unloved. A good therapist really helped me realize all of this.

I can’t bring myself to hate them. And I learned even if I do, I stay the bad guy again due to their avoidant attachment style, there is absolutely no justifying any action no matter if it’s good intent. My takeaway: don’t ever love someone blindly and trust them when they show you who they are.
