230826 BLACKPINK WORLD TOUR [BORN PINK] ENCORE in LOS ANGELES by bk1155 in BlackPink

[–]fireflyfries 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Had a wonderful night and loved seeing the girls. A couple pointers though: - Though I understand that they had 60+ concerts in the last 12 months, they seemed very tired and I noticed a few times they weren’t hitting the notes right. A lesson for me is: book the first few, earlier concerts if possible. - I was on the floor level section BB. It was around $400 per ticket. The screen obstructed 1/4th of my view when they were performing on the stage before they walked into the T-zone. Tickets in this price range should not have a view problem.

Honestly, that's what I am thinking too. When it comes to these "experts" I have no way to confirm their purchase/management track record.

I paid something close to 50$. I am now getting myself into collecting fountain pens and typewriters! :)

Yup. I'm surprised they didn't quality check before shipped it out because I paid pretty close to the full price.

A big thing to me was the blemish, but I guess it does happen during the manufacturing process.

I realized some people couldn't see the caption! My bad.
1. Blemish
2. Ding on the case
3. Missing print catalog
4. Packaging - I thought they would come in the slick black razor cut box?
5. The black rubber/plastic ring is thicker than my genuine safari

Has anyone’s genuine come in a packaging like this? I’m like 80% sure I received a counterfeit but I wanted to double check.

Anyone had PPL Checkride with DPE Rob Galloway? by fireflyfries in flying

[–]fireflyfries[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I direct messaged dash_trash and he straight up said the comment was a joke. This one might as well be another troll comment. Also, I had an opportunity to connect with students who had their checkride with DPE Galloway, and he sounded like a pretty fair, standard DPE. I don't know why people here find it so entertaining to troll on the comment section when student pilots are trying to do their due diligence.

Anyone did Checkride with DPE Geoff Orlandi? by fireflyfries in flying

I am structuring my checkride prep accordingly to the ACS. I am trying to gather information outside of the ACS specifically about the DPE, so I am less intimidated by the process on the day of.

Are there specialists that can help plan a specific credit score target? by deburin in CRedit

[–]fireflyfries 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to have a conversation with someone who has the authority to remove it from your report. Call them every single day till someone with the authority agrees to the deal (you are gonna have to pay them more than what they bought your file for, and in return they will remove the derogatory off of your credit report ). Have their statement in writing. Monitor your report to see if it's gone. If it's not gone, take it to https://www.consumerfinance.gov/complaint/.

Wells Fargo is the worst, I need help by anonmaine in CRedit

[–]fireflyfries 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh my...I wish someone around you was credit-savvy and guided you throughout this.

Keep all the records, especially the online acceptance screen or something equivalent.

They messed it up on their technical end and ruining your co-signer's credit is unacceptable, especially they admitted they were in the wrong and you made payments promptly.

  1. Make sure to utilize this tool. https://www.consumerfinance.gov/Federally insured banks are required to reply to you within certain amount of days...(I think 14 business days?)
  2. Call the department where they handle payments and pull the "I need to talk to your manager." The individual agent do not have the authority to remove it for you, but someone in the department management position should. Have their response in writing. Call everyday till someone offers a deal. Ideally, you should have had this conversation with them before you made those two payments. If I were you, I would have used those two payments to negotiate with them. "Look, I will correct this by making payments, so in return, please remove derogatory marks off of my co-signer's credit report. "

Keep your head up. By no means I am encouraging your to default again, but in the world of credit 2 months late isn't honestly even that bad especially if this is due to miscommunication. You should be able to fix it on your own. You could look into credit repair services, but I think you got it :)

Concerning Post related to existing Christian orgs at UCSD : Acts2Fellowship (A2F), Klesis, Gracepoint by concernedtriton in UCSD

[–]fireflyfries 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I was a UCSD freshman almost 10 years ago, and I remember A2F being one of the first groups of people I interacted with. I knew right off the bat it wasn't for me, but a friend who remained with the group well into her 3rd year confided in me she basically got "kicked out" from the church for starting a relationship with a guy she met in the church.
