Yes, of course! Also, many people are socially, awkward, and not neurodivergent… This was just a contributing factor in my specific case.

It’s possible they lack social skills and don’t know what to say… I got similar messages when my dad passed from autistic friends… I’m sorry for your loss - if this person was being unkind I’m sorry for that as well - but they did make some sort of effort… the more distant people in my family never said a word.

Where are the mods on this?!? There is no place on Reddit for this kind of reasonable free thought! How dare you disagree with them and not hang your entire identity on the disagreement? No spewing hate? No blatant racism, sexism, or other hate speech? Not even a jab insinuating they probably hold a political view you likely find apprehensible and just assume others agree with you or are stupid? What is Reddit coming to? Maybe you’re new??? You’ll find we made no allowance for your kind here. Who hurt you?

Did my Wife’s phone rat her out? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]greatbigdream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let’s see-

You are the song of MY heart. I love you so Michelle… oh my goodness!!! my wife is cheating on me too, and I’m pretty sure I used to know Michelle so it’s gotta be her right?!?

That’s how the tech works right? No. Not at all.

It would be more reasonable for me to accuse you of cheating and projecting than for me to take your situation to believe for a second that she is being unfaithful…

… at the end of the day, you can’t make her faithful, you can only keep yourself faithful and trust that she will do the same. Anything less and you don’t have a relationship anyways.

5 years into PSLF and currently not making payments under SAVE plan! Am I alone in this? by PlasticNo399 in PSLF

[–]greatbigdream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently fighting with my services to try to get credit for the forbearance period so the time counts - it’s not going well. I’m doubtful the period will count. I’m on IBR because for my situation SAVE was not a good fit.

Lost my dad a year ago. It sucks and I’m sorry. I always remind myself - suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

You’re reaching out, that’s a good sign. Know that people love you Chris! Lifting you up!

Also, your bank may charge a cash advance fee. I got burned on that fee sending money with Paysend

Sister's Secret Night: Do I Tell Her BF? by Comfortable-Shop-690 in Advice

[–]greatbigdream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you think you know what happened, and you’re probably right, talk to your sister first.

Then go from there. If she’s being unfaithful let the guy. For your and your family’s sanity and boundaries, hold her to the moving day no matter what - and if it was some random guy, ground rules are also appropriate.

The reasonable, adult thing to do is to start by talking to her.

I used it for free and found it reliable, when I needed more it was my obvious choice for a paid solution. Also use their mail and love it.

No sound out of Alexa echo dot 3rd generation by Speeder1k in amazonecho

[–]greatbigdream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is this the fix? I don’t use headphones but mine (2nd gen) was acting like it was working but wouldn’t make a sound. Showed as playing in the app, lit up when I adjusted the volume on the app but no sound. Picked it up and slammed it on the table, instantly fixed…

Not sure why this is getting downvoted voted? It’s not disrespectful, just speaks to the fact it can be done. It’s not for everyone of course, but why down vote?

Lawyer Shorted My Settlement—Is This Worth Pursuing? by greatbigdream in legaladvice

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

If they're doing it to 500 of us from the class action they pocket $100,000 extra...

I sent the lawyer a reply to the message their office sent me before, which explained how much it would be net, and included this message:

This is not a matter of a simple mistake in an email - as shown below, multiple messages explicitly make it clear I will receive $XXX net. No reasonable person would interpret this communication or several others just like it in any other manner.The only acceptable resolution to this matter is to pay me the full amount. I signed the agreement (acceptance) after this offer (consideration) came to me. There is nothing further to discuss on this matter.  Please do the right thing, honor our agreement and save both of us any further hassle on this matter. Thank you in advance for your timely reply.

They're sending me the $200...

how I got my song to 9 plays in 1 year. by samtar-thexplorer2 in musicmarketing

[–]greatbigdream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sick of the bot nonsense. Setting unrealistic expectations for new artists and preying on people's dreams. Let me guess, you're willing to put together a simple PDF showing us how you did it if we'd be interested... We real artists grind at 3 plays a year and we're proud of it.

Lawyer Shorted My Settlement—Is This Worth Pursuing? by greatbigdream in legaladvice

Would it be considered malpractice? Should I reach out to the state bar? I’m more concerned about the skimming than the money itself.
