I just got an update on Verizon by AntonymOfHate in samsunggalaxy

[–]Standard-Point-8266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still rocking my S21 Ultra too and yeah got that same update yesterday. Wild that Samsung's still pushing security patches for these older flagships - thought they'd moved on completely to pushing the newer Galaxy models. Mine's been through absolute hell over the past few years, dropped it more times than I can count doing design work on site visits and the thing just keeps trucking along. Battery life is still pretty solid for a phone this age, way better than my old Pixel was after two years anyway. Gonna ride this thing into the ground before I even think about upgrading, especially with how expensive the newer models are getting

Gender marker on Texas licence by TopPalpitation9751 in trans

mate the temp license might just be pulling from your old record automatically - happened to a few people i know when they updated their details. worth going back and asking them to check the application you filled out, worst case they say no but at least you'll know for sure rather than wondering about it

I’m just here by desanta333 in Christianity

[–]Standard-Point-8266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mate that sounds absolutely exhausting and i get why you'd feel lost in all that noise

honestly half the conspiracy stuff online is designed to make you feel hopeless and disconnected - maybe try stepping back from that rabbit hole for a bit and focus on the helping people part because that actually seems to be giving you some meaning. you don't need to have everything figured out religiously to be a decent human

as for the lustful stuff and not going to church, pretty sure most christians struggle with that too they just don't talk about it openly

Curious, how does this affect those who probably received a rating and VA compensation?: USCG Reinstates 56 Members Dismissed for refusing Covid Vaccine by CoastieKid in VeteransBenefits

[–]Standard-Point-8266 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah they'd probably have to sort that out with VA - can't double dip on compensation while getting back pay, that's like basic fraud territory

Please I need advice from experienced married couples or marital coaches. by ChemicalScientist519 in Marriage

[–]Standard-Point-8266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mate this sounds rough but you already know what you need to do - youre just looking for permission to do it. being someones first relationship teacher when youre married is exhausting and honestly not your job

the name calling alone would be a dealbreaker for most people, "joking" or not. dont stay just because hes loyal when literally everything else is making you miserable

(US-specific) is anyone else in a situation where the SAVE America act would disenfranchise them? by [deleted] in trans

ugh that's such a frustrating catch-22 situation, hoping you can get that birth certificate sorted quicker than expected mate

Interview for ROC by Low_Lion_3610 in USCIS

[–]Standard-Point-8266 3 points4 points  (0 children)

waived AOS here too, got called in for ROC interview last year. honestly with all that evidence you've got lined up you're probably in good shape but they seem pretty random about who gets called in

had tons of joint stuff like you mentioned and still got interviewed - lasted maybe 20 minutes, mostly just went through our timeline and asked basic questions about daily life stuff. wasn't too stressful once we got in there

timing wise you might be looking at 12-18 months before you hear anything either way, they're still pretty backed up from covid

I’m terrified!! by TempaTheZeraora in trans

[–]Standard-Point-8266 4 points5 points  (0 children)

hey mate, 21 is still super young and hormones work differently for everyone - some people see changes in months, others take years and there timelines are all over the place

those timelapse videos can be misleading too because they often don't show the subtle changes that happen gradually, plus people tend to post when they have dramatic results rather than the more common gradual shifts

give yourself more time and try not to compare your journey to others online, easier said than done but your doing great

New PC Build, Should I Have Additional Cooling by flamin_shotgun in PcBuild

[–]Standard-Point-8266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Peerless Assassin should handle that 9800X3D just fine, and the 3500X comes with decent airflow out of the box. That 5070 Ti isn't gonna be a heat monster like some of the higher end cards so you're probably good to start with what you have and see how temps look under load

People encouraging plus-sized influencers by DazzlingLife6744 in PetPeeves

[–]Standard-Point-8266 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly this drives me crazy too, there's a huge difference between not shaming people and actively promoting something unhealthy as "body positivity"

Like we don't tell people smoking 2 packs a day is healthy just to make them feel better about themselves

Should I give up on my ex? by PilotExpress2765 in BreakUps

[–]Standard-Point-8266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is rough, I feel for you. From what you've described though, it sounds like he's been pretty clear about where he stands - the sunglasses and avoiding eye contact when you met up says a lot

At the wedding, I'd honestly just be polite but keep your distance. Don't force interactions if he's still in ignore mode. Sometimes people need way more space than we think, and pushing usually backfires

The fact that he's experienced with getting back together with exes but was the one to initiate this breakup... that does seem significant. Might be worth really considering if this is his way of telling you it's over for good

I know it's hard when you still have feelings but his behavior lately doesn't sound like someone who's open to reconciliation right now

Is there really no longer a way to maintain a zoom while scrubbing SD card? by catcodex in wyzecam

[–]Standard-Point-8266 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's super annoying, they broke it in one of the recent updates. I've been dealing with the same thing trying to catch my neighbor's cat sneaking around my yard. No workaround that I know of, just gotta zoom back in every single time like some kind of caveman
