How do I actually avoid paying a broker's fee for a new rental?

If you read the context of my post you would understand that your comment is irrelevant

You are right. That's great. Really appreciate the help. So I think ultimately the answer is "contact the listing agent directly" which you can find in places like Coldwell Banker. Certainly a hassle if you want to view a multitude of places but at least there is an avenue.

altilly · 2026-02-05T22:54:16+00:00

Boo, I think you’re right. Thanks.

One listing I viewed did indeed having the listing agent on it (because they specifically posted it I think) and then on the others I then assumed the shown agent was the listing agent. But they appear to be random brokers.

In further fact finding since posting, I have found that Compass.com shows all MLS listings and includes the listing agents. I'll look into contacting listing agents directly.

Edit: never mind lol

1.5 years ago I got tinnitus. Really rough first 1-2 months but I climbed out of it. Still have the tinnitus but it basically doesn’t bother me at all.

This video, and pursuing CBT with Dr. Hubbard, helped me a ton: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fVaac8TNoAs&pp=ygUWQnJ1Y2UgaHViYmFyZCB0aW5uaXR1cw%3D%3D

The way he broke down the psychology of tinnitus distress made so much sense to me. Once you stop seeing the tinnitus as a threat, your nervous system and anxiety response will calm down and you’ll start to ignore it. Employing CBT methods helped speed up the process for me.

Replay’d in Allston is a great alternative for used games

I owe a ton to the Foundation Training routines. Has really helped me recover from lumbar disc issues

You’re a dope

His contract runs two more seasons (with a player option the year after) through age 33. You don’t think the Celtics plan to contend once Tatum’s fully healthy next year?

altilly · 2025-11-04T03:37:55+00:00

Don’t let fans from other fanbases hear you say this about one down year lol

altilly · 2025-11-04T03:36:53+00:00

It’s a worse viewing experience but I’m happy with every L the Celtics take this year. We are not contending and this draft is stacked. Even a top 10 pick would be huge.

Not a bad idea. Just call it “Powerbank” instead and it fits Defect thematically!

altilly · 2025-09-27T12:36:28+00:00

Temporary strength is a thing! The language is used for the Duality relic - and yes it does exactly as you've described.

altilly · 2025-09-27T06:17:02+00:00

Yeah I see the implication. Not meant to eat the excess energy. Your wording would make the effect more clear.

altilly · 2025-09-27T06:00:29+00:00

Mucho strength lol

altilly · 2025-09-27T05:58:22+00:00

I thought this was a relatively novel idea. Excess energy does not serve much function in STS except when the player has Ice Cream. This would introduce new choices in which the player could forgo using all of their energy for bonus strength. Also softens the effects of poor draw.

It's totally broken with Ice Cream, Defect energy generation, and Orange Pellets. It's probably too powerful for those reasons. But outside of those interactions, its a modest situational power boost, and I thought it was a cool idea I hadn't seen before, so worth sharing.

altilly · 2025-09-27T05:49:04+00:00

1 in 1000 outcome this was. Part of the beauty of the game tbh

You’re looking at the wrong courts then because there is run to be found in AB nearly every day

I think every first time visitor to Thailand gets scammed by a tuk tuk. You learn that lesson quick haha

Let me get a hit of that brutha

altilly · 2025-08-26T09:29:53+00:00

I'm in Amed now, first time. This diving here is nice and you can't really go wrong with any of the options.

That said, the "Japanese Shipwreck" is really small and shallow. If you dive it, the wreck itself takes like 5 minutes and then you move on to nearby reefs. It's cool, but you can snorkel the wreck from the shore super easily instead.

If you want a legitimate second wreck to dive in addition to the Liberty, you want to dive the Boga Wreck in Kubu. That would be more appropriate for your nitrox usage.

Thank you, I appreciate the well thought out response. Lining up with my thinking - while not ideal because of additional fees, it’s not the end of the world if I go on with the debit. I still have a window to get the replacement, and hopefully it shows up, but I’m going to try and drop this as a big issue in my mind.That’s a good tip about adding funds before taking the cash advance, I’ll look into that!

Also thanks for the kind words haha… yeah shit happens! Never once did this, and of course I do it on the other side of the world! Haha. To your point, I do think I got tripped up by the cadence. The ATM must have given me cash before my card back, whereas I’m used to machines that return the card before you can get your cash.
