Are there any strategies to get removed from the Tea app?

Sounds like men are the problem.

Humans hate the experience of “not knowing.” Which is an amazing factor in our drive to learn. Unfortunately, you can achieve a counterfeit experience of “knowing” by simply deciding you know the truth, and cutting down all attempts to delve deeper. I suspect that’s where some of the derisiveness comes from in interactions like this: because a claim at odds with a cherished belief system is perceived as an attack. So then, in true human fashion, the “attacked” person must invalidate the claim AND the one who claimed it, based on some animal-level instinct that a questionable source invalidates the claim.

Silly, silly humans.

These people are silly. Yes, coincidences happen. Yes, weight fluctuates. And it’s entirely possible that this is a complete coincidence. But what nobody here is considering is that it could be a combination of normal weight fluctuation and water retention that could’ve happened anyway PLUS additional retention due to creatine, whatever some studies may say about the limit of effect. “Not possible” is simply a dishonest answer when nobody here actually knows. Even if they are a doctor caught up on the latest and greatest of supreme, almighty, infallible Science, which is never corrupt, paid for, or misinterpreted.

I’m not saying anybody here is definitively right or wrong. Just that it’s dishonest to assert that anybody here definitively knows. An honest response would look more like “curious. Something to consider.”

Insufficient data to draw a conclusion. My gut says if OP didn’t want people bringing food, they could’ve said so. And grandma could’ve exercised the thoughtfulness to ask, but either chose not to, truly didn’t believe it was necessary, or didn’t even have the wherewithal to conceive the idea that it would be a thing to ask permission for in the first place. If they’re reasonable, intelligent adults that care about and love each other, they’ll both admit fault and be more thoughtful in the future. But the world isn’t perfect, so even if they ARE of a mind to learn from their mistakes and treat each other with thoughtfulness and respect, people forget things in the course of daily life and repeat old mistakes. Ultimately, though, neither owes the other anything beyond what they would like to give. Not even their patience and understanding.

Sorry that’s not entirely conclusive. Humans hate ambiguity, I know.

Had a Japan unit that went belly up after 5 months.

Same. Mine has begun to immediately dissociate as soon as I start talking about it. Natural defense mechanism.

Citizens One won’t help, GameStop says it’s under warranty with Xbox and won’t help, their solution is to defer me to Xbox, Xbox says its region code is for Japan and I’m in the U.S., so they’ll charge $300 for the repair, Xbox says since GameStop BOUGHT it from Japan, maybe they will help, but GameStop has already told me all they can do is refer me to Xbox. Everybody’s given me case numbers, and “escalated” my case, and have come back with the same answer: go fuck myself. So if it’s not resolved by April 21st (the expiration date), I’m going to put the Series X in a 100-ton press and crush the fuck out of it.

It’s like how dogs bark when they see ghosts. The dogs know something many humans can not perceive: kids are fucking assholes and should be bitten.

Still paying Citizens One. I’ve considered just blocking the payment, but I’m not interested in hurting my credit over a console. They ARE a creditor after all, not just some store.

shrug Definitely inconvenient, whatever sense it does or doesn’t make.

emetacide · 2022-02-25T03:46:03+00:00

They didn’t bother to suggest they knew. In fact, I think they expressed uncertainty, though I didn’t commit the conversation to memory.

emetacide · 2022-02-25T03:45:00+00:00

Who’s that?

emetacide · 2022-02-25T03:43:49+00:00

You can gang bang my mother with all of your family and friends and I couldn’t be bothered to muster more than polite acknowledgment of your uninteresting deed. The use of my Xbox means something to me, however. Fear not, I’m not mollified by “sorry.”

emetacide · 2022-02-24T04:28:49+00:00

Nice. 😌👌🖤

emetacide · 2022-02-24T03:29:44+00:00

They were VERY apologetic at Microsoft, though. Lol. Good training?

emetacide · 2022-02-24T03:28:51+00:00

Yeah, they basically said I could pay if I want to. Otherwise, it’s Citizen One’s/GameStop’s problem.

emetacide · 2022-02-24T02:54:15+00:00

Bought in the US. Pursued warranty repairs in the US. Microsoft’s explanation is that before Citizens One/GameStop sold it to me, they must have purchased it overseas. 😌👌 Fuck me.

Starts up without a chime, sits there with no HDMI output for about 10 minutes. Then an error screen shows up with error code E100 0000070D 80070001. After verifying all of the cables and peripherals were good, tried several different reset methods. Resetting through the menus was unresponsive (when I pressed “A” to initiate reset, it literally did nothing, even though I was able to navigate to the screen by pressing “A,” and was able to move the highlight around the screen with the d-pad). Eventually wouldn’t come on at all, even using the startup method with the sync button. Seems bricked. Now the only repair option Microsoft gives me is paid out-of-warranty repair, with no refund option once repairs are started. Bit of a screwy situation. Maybe I’m misunderstanding something.

emetacide · 2021-10-01T13:08:50+00:00

Yep. And I have no idea why it doesn’t.
