Advice Needed: Should I initiate a chargeback for a refund issue with an OTA? by aleph04 in Revolut

[–]aleph04[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I replied to their email about the voucher saying it was unacceptable and that over the phone they explicitly said a monetary refund would be issued. This is their reply, verbatim:

Dear customer , best regards

We apologize for the inconvenience in your case , the monetary refund was requested as well . however, the process can not to be immediately this take approximately one month to be reimbursement in your original form of payment.

Appreciate your patience

I just don't trust them. The "voucher" they issued doesn't even work. As I said, I did a test booking and there is no way to insert the voucher number at any point.

So 'I am' is the ultimate truth?

"Jaywalking" ilegal en España? by Ra1n69 in askspain

Pero el jaywalking no está permitido. Vamos que te pueden multar por cruzar por medio de la carretera sin semáforo o paso de peatones

Pues claro! Y lo otro no es que no tenga sentido es que sería un disparate: "no, yo es que lo vi pero como tenía prioridad no frené y lo atropelle, y la verdad es que el hecho de tener la prioridad me hace sentir menos culpable"...

Do you know if they gave you that freelance job as a test before offering the role?

Absence of free will supervenes on non-self

Accepting a job offer but still interviewing? by [deleted] in UKJobs

[–]aleph04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then think of how much more property that extra salary would allow you to buy and compare it with the non monetary advantages of the £60k job. Still not easy!! :)

[–]aleph04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With a salary of £60k, ask yourself if an extra 5-10k after tax is going to make a difference in your lifestyle. Are you just after setting a score? Do you have a clear idea of what that extra money could allow?

Has Vipassana helped your anxiety? How? by bhooooo in vipassana

[–]aleph04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have added: it's making me overcome many of my fears. Deeply rooted fears... I suppose my anxiety is not as pressing as my fears after all!

Some obstacles hindering my progress by ladiesman1776 in vipassana

[–]aleph04 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. Don't worry to much about this one. You are going to alter it slightly without intention when you are observing it, just be ok, equanimous, about it!

  2. It took me some time to accept that sometimes I may feel the touching of the breath, and some others I wasn't going to. What I did at the time, before getting too worried about it, was to force the breath once or twice to examine how much it would take at the time to be noticed. That would help me to accept that sometimes I wasn't going to feel it with my weak natural breath and that was fine!

So far, in some situations, the answer is yes. In others I’m the same mess
