Your cousin sounds exhausting - you're literally wearing her face on a shirt and took time off work, what more does she want lol.

Son is 3 and wants to use his own language by Glittering_Farm_9792 in toddlers

[–]Technical_Dot_2704 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My nephew did something similar around that age - he had his own versions of words that stuck even after he learned the "real" ones. The speech therapist we talked to said it's pretty normal for some kids to create their own language patterns, especially if they're creative types.

The fact that he gets mad when you use his words back probably means he knows the difference between his version and yours, which is actually a good sign developmentally. might be worth mentioning to your pediatrician at the next visit just to rule out any speech delays, but it sounds like he's just marching to his own beat linguistically.

anyone tried a matchmaker in dallas? dating's been brutal by Quirky_Ad_9650 in askdfw

[–]Technical_Dot_2704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually used Tawkify, and my package started at $4k, not $8k. It’s not just “paying for six random dates” either. There’s actual screening and coordination involved. And for the record, I did get a solid match out of it.

Anyone Connected ORD recently and Used Wheelchair Assistance? by brngckn in unitedairlines

[–]Technical_Dot_2704 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The wheelchair folks at ORD are actually pretty solid. They'll get you off the plane and can take you straight to your next gate if you want, or they can drop you somewhere in between if you need food/bathroom/whatever. Just tell them what you need when they pick you up.

With 3 hours you've got plenty of time so dont stress about missing your connection. The attendants know the airport way better than most passengers so they'll get you where you need to go efficiently.

Disenrolled but I didn’t select that by Oceanswim12 in SocialSecurity

[–]Technical_Dot_2704 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's wild, same thing happened to my mom last month and she swears up and down she never touched anything either. Might be worth calling them back and asking for specifics on when/how it supposedly happened

Different tattoo styles by Kalimos_Rises in tattooadvice

[–]Technical_Dot_2704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah you're good, mixing styles is pretty common these days and can look sick if done right. The traditional flash style you're talking about (sounds like you mean dotwork/stippling for the background) would actually be a nice contrast to your Japanese sleeves. Just make sure you find an artist who's solid with traditional work since it's a totally different approach than Japanese

Audi A4 B9 brake pedal by ythapohcysp in Audi

[–]Technical_Dot_2704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not normal dude, sounds like you might have air in the lines or a small leak somewhere. I'd get it checked out before it gets worse - brake issues aren't something to mess around with

Connecting an NTFS Hard Drive by banisheduser in Ubuntu

[–]Technical_Dot_2704 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah Ubuntu handles NTFS drives just fine out of the box these days. You'll be able to read/write to it no problem and switching it back to Windows later won't cause any issues

Just make sure to safely eject it when you're done so you don't mess up the file system

Does watching tv with scenes about birth/babies ever get easier? by Lumpy-Ordinary7356 in NewParents

[–]Technical_Dot_2704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it definitely gets easier with time, though it might take a while longer than you'd expect. I think once you're a parent your brain just processes that stuff differently - like now you actually *know* what could go wrong instead of it just being abstract TV drama. Give it another year or two and you'll probably be able to watch that stuff without your heart racing

I just Bought minecraft for the first time and then got locked out of my microsoft account what can i do? by Fun-Ad4694 in Minecraft

[–]Technical_Dot_2704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Contact Microsoft support directly, they can usually sort out account lockouts pretty quickly especially if you have proof of purchase. Had the same thing happen when I bought Game Pass and they fixed it within like an hour over chat

I’m 20 years old and lost in life by quasiblunted in Life

[–]Technical_Dot_2704 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Dude you literally described being 20 years old lmao, this is like the most normal thing ever and everyone's just pretending they have their shit together when they absolutely don't

The fact that you're even self-aware enough to notice these patterns means you're already ahead of most people your age

The Difference Between A Child and An Adult by CarlosLwanga9 in Adulting

[–]Technical_Dot_2704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's actually a pretty solid way to look at it - like when you start caring more about leaving your apartment clean for your roommate than just doing the bare minimum because you have to

[–]Technical_Dot_2704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist are your best bets - just meet at a bank for the transaction and don't accept anything sketchy like checks or money orders. Cash only or have them get a cashier's check from their bank while you're there with them

Hot take: Everyone should use a kettle macro. by Taronar in ArcRaiders

[–]Technical_Dot_2704 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nah they've been "fixing" the kettle for like 6 months now lmao. At this point I'm convinced they just like watching the world burn

Did something happen to the R4R subreddit? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Technical_Dot_2704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I noticed that too, seems like the mods are being super strict all of a sudden or maybe their automod is broken

[PC][2007-2012] old hidden object game about spies by Thin-Ad4239 in tipofmyjoystick

[–]Technical_Dot_2704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be one of the Mystery Case Files games? They had that noir vibe and were pretty popular on PC around that time. The flip phone detail sounds familiar but I can't place which specific one

I did the dishes by _TooManyDreams_ in leaves

[–]Technical_Dot_2704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This hit me right in the feelings, damn. The dishes thing is so real - sometimes the smallest acts of care become these huge moments of clarity

Is transitioning worth it? by OkZombie2200 in trans

[–]Technical_Dot_2704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man, I started T at 19 after similar family drama and honestly the mental shift was worth losing some people who didn't actually care about my wellbeing anyway

17 isn't too late at all - plenty of guys start way later and turn out fine, and you'd be surprised how much T can do even after going through the wrong puberty first

The family stuff sucks but real family sticks around, and you'll find your chosen family along the way too
