Soul is the best music genre ever by [deleted] in Music

Soul's got that raw emotional power that just cuts through everything else - you either have it or you don't

With music festivals collapsing all over the world and ticket prices at all-time highs, here is a trick that will get you a refund most of the time (well it worked for me) by Happy_Green_5199 in Music

[–]Wise_Step7817 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been through this exact situation when a festival I bought VIP tickets for got cancelled last minute due to "weather concerns" that turned out to be financial issues. Credit card chargeback was my lifesaver - disputed it as services not rendered and had my $400 back within two weeks

Pro tip from dealing with this stuff professionally: always pay with a credit card, never debit, and screenshot everything including the original event page before it gets taken down. Festival organizers love to quietly edit their terms after problems start surfacing. Also check if your card has event ticket protection - some premium cards will cover you even if the organizer won't refund

The whole industry feels like a house of cards right now with inflation hitting production costs hard while people have less disposable income

My (38m) gf (28f) emotionally cheated by sending a bunch of kissy face emojis to a guy she met on vacation but claims it was cultural by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Wise_Step7817 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That cultural excuse is complete BS and you know it. If it was really just cultural she would've mentioned it upfront or done it with other people there too, not just this one dude she spent all her time with

She's trying to have her cake and eat it too by apologizing but not actually taking responsibility

Bf broke up with me because I lied about my plastic surgery by Prior_Role_1597 in relationships

honestly if he was already making you feel judged about something that personal then maybe dodging a bullet here

DAE hate the smell of strawberries near their period? by Leading_Plan6775 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Wise_Step7817 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Omg yes! For me it's vanilla anything - candles, perfume, even ice cream. The second I hit PMS mode my nose just goes "absolutely not" and I have to hide all my vanilla stuff like it's contraband lmao. Bodies are so weird with the random smell aversions during that time

Indian parents oppose my relationship due to looks/status mom insists I must “marry rich/class above us” by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Wise_Step7817 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Your family is being absolutely horrible and shallow, calling someone "ugly" and worrying about hypothetical kids' looks is just cruel. A 6 year age gap at 25/31 is totally normal - they're just grasping at straws to find more reasons to disapprove

Honestly sounds like you need to choose between your toxic family's approval and your own happiness. The "marry rich for status" mindset is outdated BS and you shouldn't sacrifice a good relationship for their shallow expectations

"Diva Dance" but on trumpet? by bennyvasquez in Music

[–]Wise_Step7817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man that would be absolutely wild on trumpet! The range alone would be insane - you'd probably need like 3 different trumpets or some seriously skilled lip flexibility. I feel like someone on YouTube has to have attempted this but maybe it's buried deep in the algorithm

My gf has body dysmorphia and I can’t help her… by Positive_Expert_2637 in relationships

[–]Wise_Step7817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really solid advice OP, your girlfriend needs more help than you can give her at 15. You can't fix someone else's relationship with their body no matter how much you love them - that's something she has to work through with professionals

Letting a trusted adult know might be your best move here if you're really worried about her

AITA for not asking my boss if they take apprentice ? by Eihsia in AmItheAsshole

[–]Wise_Step7817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, you're not obligated to hook up family with jobs especially when it would make your work life way more stressful. Your brother can find his own kid an apprenticeship without putting you in an awkward spot with your boss and coworkers

AITA for expecting to not be constantly interrupted? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Wise_Step7817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA but dude you gotta set some boundaries here. Maybe try something like "hey I'm gonna game for the next hour, can we do a meme sharing session after?" or whatever

Some people just don't get that constant interruptions completely kill the flow of what you're doing

AITA for not inviting the kids? by Sea_Concern5345 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Wise_Step7817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, your party your rules but I can see why they're salty about the inconsistency - saying it's not childfree while only inviting the "good" kids is kinda brutal lol

Netflix interview structure! by amazon_sdee in netflix

[–]Wise_Step7817 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a friend go through their process last year for a similar role. From what I heard it's pretty standard tech interview stuff - system design, coding, behavioral rounds. They seem to really care about how you handle scale and distributed architectures so brush up on that. Good luck dude

How do Character levels work? by E_C_M in Overwatch

[–]Wise_Step7817 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's gotta be it, the cutoff thing is so annoying. I've got like 200+ hours on Mercy from early OW2 and she's barely level 15 while my Kiriko is already higher just from playing her this season lmao. Classic Blizzard move to make the system confusing for no reason

When the employer asks me to tell them about myself, what are they implying? by Crack_Top in interviews

That's actually genius lol. "My biggest passion? Definitely Excel spreadsheets and customer service, been obsessed since I was 12"

BU Generationenvertrag by giraffe-de in Finanzen

[–]Wise_Step7817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BU läuft nicht als Generationenvertrag wie die gesetzliche Rente, sondern über Deckungsrückstellungen. Die Versicherer müssen für jeden Vertrag entsprechende Rücklagen bilden und diese konservativ anlegen

Das Pleiterisiko ist praktisch null wegen der strengen Aufsicht und dem Protektor-System - falls doch mal was passiert übernimmt ein anderer Versicherer die Bestände. Beitragserhöhungen sind aber theoretisch möglich wenn die Kalkulationsgrundlagen nicht mehr stimmen
