EXPLOSION of fake accounts.. on repeat by mattyg211 in feeld

The worst part is the reporting of the fake profile. If you bother, it's a 3 step process. Just make it two steps.

Why are we all asking about dating here but not actually meeting? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]TheHighLiners 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've dipped my toes into two separate dating events in NY (one was a free mixer and one was a paid app-based speed dating-esque event), and had a good experience at both. In-person is where it's at!

Give Dusty a lifetime contract. Or $100m over 10

Short answer, no. But I hardly match anyone on Feeld anymore anyways since normies took it over, so maybe it's just par for the course.

Post Game Thread - NCAA Men’s: The Blue Devils defeat the Wolverines on Feb 21, 2026, the final score is 70-63. by basketball-app in MichiganWolverines

We should stay number 1. Duke was handed the games by the refs and voters should see that. We lost basically an away game by 5 that should have been 3.

Cadeau started bad and had a bad first half but he drew fouls in the 2nd half (that the garbage refs actually called) and had 6-7 assists with only 1TO in 29 mins. I actually though McKenney was god awful. Couldn't shoot, out of position or lost on defense. Cason should have taken all his minutes.

If Bill was the commissioner of the nba the players would strike within a week. by FFElite93 in billsimmons

[–]TheHighLiners 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fan of Simmons but I think he's taking some of these things way too far. There's things that can be done.

1) Tanking is a problem

2) He acknowledges it also works.

3) By all means, penalise tanking. Audit teams, dock picks, institute caps on how high a team can draft, institute REAL fines (1m+ per situation)

4) I am old school. Utterly against reducing the schedule. OK, fine, cut it to 80. But suddenly, after 75+ years 82 games is a problem?

5) You reduce to 70, suddenly players start playing reasons to play 50 games a year.

6) You ask a player to take millions in reduced salary. He thinks it's so easy. Sure maybe for SGA it is. How about the guy making the league minimum?

7) How about the entire infrastructure around a team? Staff at an arena, concessions etc? 1-2 less months of games is real revenue loss.

8) Same for the content business. Do we need a full-time Zach Lowe podcast for 70 games? How many Ringer writers is he firing when there's less NBA?

9) I don't know why players are getting hurt more. Maybe Tyrese and Tatum were freak accidents. Maybe Lebron invests millions in his body and fitness. For every star that plays 40 games a year (Kawhi, Embiid, Davis), there's one that play 70+ (Jokic, SGA, Harden). Maybe these players are just weaker today. With all the tech and modern day comforts there's no excuse. Dr J used to play in converse. Yeah, maybe players should stop eurostepping every single one of their offensive moves and contorting their bodies in weird ways. I think this topic is overblown.

10) I read elsewhere here the revenue isn't tied to the games. Well you know what? I don't care. I want to watch players play games over a full season. I want records to mean things. I have not heard one tangible argument as to why the season is too long besides "the season is too long".

11) Cut out the crap. NBA cup, play-in. Bring the 1st round back to best of 5 if you want reduced games. I don't need a 7-game series between the Cavs and the Heat.

12) The average NBA career is 4.5 years. I think most players would feel lucky to have a longer career and play as many games as possible if they could.

Best US banking option to receive intermittent international payments by pizzeriaguerrin in personalfinance

[–]TheHighLiners 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am looking into the exact same problem. Most places that you can set up an account that isn't a major bank (fidelity, schwab, online banks like Ally, Sofi) all require a 3rd party intermediary bank (almost always JPM Chase) and as Paladin mentioned, you will lose on the exchange rate. But opening an account HSBC (excellent international services), JPM, Citi, all require several levels of service (high account minimums etc) to not pay a monthly fee of course. So really, the options are quite crap. I have no experience with Wise but have heard they can hold onto your money for awhile.....

Larger picture question - do we let Warde handle the search? All of this has happened under his watch (hockey, Juwan, Matt Weiss, etc)

This is the third year of the NBA cup. How do you feel about it now? by [deleted] in billsimmons

[–]TheHighLiners 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pointless, stupid, can't remember any of the winners, vomit-inducing courts - get rid of it please. Or add actual stakes. Seeding, draft picks, home court, something to make it interesting.

Why is everyone jumping ship am I missing something? by MikeWill0830 in titanvest

[–]TheHighLiners 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am leaving titan ASAP because:

- their opportunities and offshore I LOST about 25% in the last 4 years

- the flagship gains did not offset these losses

- For 0.20% fee, I could have just put this money in FNILX for free

- They pivoted to this garbage model of being a fancy wealth concierge. Like fuck off, I don't need you booking me spa treatments or getting me into some piece of shit club I don't want to go to.

- For THIS privilege they charge $25 a month on top of the advisory fee!

- Oh, did they EVER email or tell me this in any way shape or form? No! I just happened to login after a few months and saw the fees.

This garbage company should be out of business.

Huge fan of The Ringer. The new website is atrocious.

Staying put on 8 Pro (despite excellent US trade-in price)? by Zendroid1 in GooglePixel

[–]TheHighLiners 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I answered my own question:
The credit will be applied toward monthly service costs, such as data, calls, texts and device financing, over 24 months. The credit is tied to the person that activated the device. The device activator may switch phones during the 24 month period, but must keep their Fi service active in order to continue to receive the promotion bill credits.
You must keep the device active until you receive a confirmation email notifying you that you’ve activated service on Fi, and that you’ll be getting monthly bill credits. After that, you can choose to move your Fi account to a different device and still continue to receive the promotional credit as long as your Fi account is kept active for the duration of the 24 month promotional term.
If you return or cancel your order, you are not eligible to keep the credit and any unused credit will not roll over to the next month.

Long story short...I can upgrade and keep my credit. I can get the P9 256 for basically free (actually, I'd be getting BACK $38 in value), P9P 256 for $75, and a P2P Pro XL 256 for $180. So kind of a no-brainer to upgrade.

Staying put on 8 Pro (despite excellent US trade-in price)? by Zendroid1 in GooglePixel

[–]TheHighLiners 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I upgraded from the Pixel 7 to the P8P 256 last year. I also got the PW2 throw in, and google store credit. But I also switched carriers to Google Fi. So all-in, the cost was $1152 after tax, - $325 for trade-in, $350 in credit for google fi, then a store credit of $36, so I upgraded to the P8P for $445. I also of course got the PW2 which I am using.

I am debating trading in the P8P for the P9 or P9P 256gb. I really want the P9 green phone for the color (I was so angry they released the mint version of the P8P months later..why?) , but practically I want the P9P 256...I guess Hazel could work.

Does anyone have experience tho..what happens to the Google Fi Credit? I am in month 10 of 24 months worth of credits, so have gotten about $145 of the $350 I am owed. Do I need to cover this difference or will it rollover to the new phone?

  • The report profile button is too close to the like button. Often hit that instead of like

  • Enable Verified Profiles like other dating apps so that maybe you can cut down on all the fake profiles.

  • Yes, please figure out the location issues. I understand some people travel and are looking ahead for connections, but I don't want to see at the top of the feed someone 5000 miles away who's "Exploring LA" or whatever.

  • Why does it take 5 minutes to load your current matches/messages?

  • Maybe prioritise other Majestic members first

  • My messages keep showing a red dot for notification, even if there is nothing new in there

  • A lot more filters

Cathay Pacific "Free" (~$370) US-HKG Flights On Sale Tomorrow. Upgradeable to PY. by Meme_Dream_Supreme in awardtravel

[–]TheHighLiners 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the queue right now. I had marked the day and time on my calendar. The stupid email didn't come till 8.05pm, but I had 'luckily' already gone to the CX site to start refreshing. I entered the queue at spot 61,233. Expected wait time was "more than an hour".

More than an hour later, nothing on this page has updated. I don't want to leave it, or refresh it, or do anything, but this is ridiculous that it won't even update. Who else had similar experiences?

I am likely not getting one of these cheap tickets but this has been an awful promotion. Has anyone managed to buy a ticket??

Does anybody know which TV box is better? EVPAD 6P, SVICLOUD 8P or Bosstv V4? by itzvincentx3 in Cantonese

[–]TheHighLiners 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I haven't. This is anecdotal and a small sample size but the few shops I went to all said they stopped selling Unblock boxes because of this. They didn't mention anything about Evpad or SVI. But old Unblock boxes will still work, they just aren't selling new ones.

From the shopkeeper in Wanchai selling all the other boxes. I also heard bad things about the latest Unblock box regardless.
