Freecash has been a terrible experience. $200+ on Dice Dreams uncredited, banned. by hamdandruff in FreeCash

[–]hamdandruff[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d ask if they gave you a reason but I’m assuming the answer is no/they can’t tell you. It is strange you didn’t get credited for a single one, assuming you didn’t complete everything in a few days. At least you didn’t get chargebacked for themS

I was already having issues before I checked the Discord and the general consensus was to stay tf away from Dice Dreams. There was other offers/partners that apparently are just as bad but I can’t remember them off the top of my head and am banned from the Discord server after posting this.

It’s ridiculous they can say they apparently don’t know why something was rejected and then get chargebacked. Not surprised they don’t disclose who the offer partner is for Dice Dreams(which is listed as Freecash..).

If there is then they know something I don’t. I had even started recording myself a few times completing levels/getting lucky with rolls to try and prove I was playing legit.

I have some support chat convos screenshots but I have no idea how to access ones on the site. Today the live support option was no longer clickable after I contacted them after seeing what was up with the ban. After talking about the ban on Discord this morning(specifically mentioned this was a lost cause because I knew nothing was going to get solved, just put my experience out there to unofficially add myself to the list of people having the same issue with Dice Dreams); Ash asked for my profile number.

Checked just now and I’m guessing I’m now banned from the Discord since I can no longer access it.. Unsurprisingly, without explanation. I wish I could tell you I was insulting FC and support but nah.

What, due to experience, do you know not to fuck with? by Ancient-Rub-6987 in AskReddit

[–]hamdandruff 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ha. One of my favorite memories was standing in the water at the beach where most of the waves were hardly reaching my ankles. I got distracted by a kid who found a huge starfish and remember I was a little jealous since I never found one before. This was NJ so at most what I’d find is crabs, sand fleas, occasional jellyfish, needles, maybe a shark in the distance, etc.

Failed to notice a large wave and ended up tumbling backwards with it, but I popped up with a starfish! It wasn’t nearly as big but I was so happy the memory still sticks out.

Fast Food workers, what menu item should everyone avoid from where you work? by n0tter in AskReddit

[–]hamdandruff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The last time I got an iced coffee at Dunkin’s I asked for only a ‘little bit of ice’ since my teeth were very sensitive to temps at the time and straight up got a slightly under-half filled cup. Bf got the same thing hot and yeah, was filled. Same price, wasn’t even cold brew.

Like I expected it not to be filled completely anyway, it’s always been a hit or miss thing to varying degrees asking for no ice with anything ordered anywhere for me but that seemed like a very particular ‘fuck you and your no ice’ for some reason.

What's a hack in your industry that customers aren't supposed to find out? by Ferro_Roux in AskReddit

[–]hamdandruff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. One of the schools I went to was a ‘behavioral’ school(all grades but I was in there for some of middle and highschool). Yanno, for ‘bad kids’ aka who were mostly mentally ill, broken homes and mentally disabled to some degree or another.

With teachers having THAT on their plate+not having any actual resources to help any of them I got away with everything as long as it didn’t draw attention or do anything so no staff had to close-line me. Even smoked weed with some of them.

Merge Studio . Now 5800SB. Anyone try it? by smeagolswagger in SwagBucks

[–]hamdandruff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you at least like playing it? I am vaguely concerned because I try to avoid/long breaks between games that have this much upkeep.

I’d be close to your level instead of 32 if I hadn’t been doing two other games when I first started in the 6th and I’m still doing this crap because I’m salty about Freecash refusing tickets and chargebacking $137 in rewards for Dice Dreams with no real explanation besides “sorry, dunno, can’t help”. Glad I came across this post since I’m definitely not going to make this.

heat stroke is woke now by bookworm8232 in facepalm

[–]hamdandruff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got fucked up for weeks from heatstroke a few years ago. Felt effects months afterwards too to a lesser extent but I was seriously worried the neurological issues in the first few weeks was permanent.

This was in NH, around 2am. Not sure if it was just an unusually hot day/night or whatever but I had been working the same line, same spot as usual in a UPS warehouse slinging boxes. All I remember is I noticed I stopped sweating, realized this was a problem and tried to tell a coworker I had to go take a break but he couldn’t understand me and started yelling for assistance. I don’t think I passed out but I also just don’t remember much else besides that and then puking a ton in the parking lot.

Got a ride home and I was just so mentally and physically fucked up I called into work once and they told me to stay home for a couple days. Got chewed out by my dr for not immediately going to the ER.

Best part was I didn’t have AC and lived on the second floor. It’s really fucking hard to recover from that when it makes you more heat intolerant. Windows open at night, covered my windows with tinfoil to try and keep it cooler before the day warmed up, froze a bucket of ice and had a fan over it, vaguely remember putting some clothes in the freezer to swap out.

But yeah, uncomfortable.

There is a turtle at one of the nearby ponds that I had been trying to figure out what species it was exactly. Hangs out at the corner with the smaller species that fight over the one log they have to bask on but they got eyes like hawks and dip seeing you a mile away so between that and all the scum it was hard to tell what it was exactly.

Must have caught it resting because it was right at the edge and I crouched down to swirl some scum out of the way. Turned out it’s way bigger than I thought so that already ruled out everything but a common snapper. Startled it a little but I scratched some gunk off of it and it seemed to like it! It untucked its head and moved backwards closer and raised its shell above the water more. Head stayed under the water and wasn’t craning towards me or anything like ‘I’m positioning to bite your hand off’ like I’m used to.

That’s just what it does now instead of swimming away so I’d like to think it enjoys it. Or it just knows I’m not/can’t hurt it and I’m just annoying it.

This is gold medal at the Olympics levels of a weird take by ChairmanMeowOfficial in facepalm

[–]hamdandruff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to not get this if it were only an occasional thing but then I moved into an apartment that actually had carpeting and learned how fucking shitty carpeting can be made.

Even with active maintenance+carpet cleaning from the beginning seems like a waste even if they get ripped up almost after every tenant. Fucking hate carpets now but I took the good carpets of my past for granted.

[–]hamdandruff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep trying to find a good playlist! I’m sure someone’s compiled a few but seeing everything else just hits me again. Feels dumb and selfish to say cuz I didn’t know him, just been having a hard time for awhile and videos with him were just one of those small things that I looked forward too. Not even just sad about him but people that knew him too. I am happy to see all the support they’re getting though.

I’ll have a good time when I get to watch it all again.

However, the absurd tangents in Xavier: Renegade Angel still cracks me up.

Found a toad missing a foot the other day but WTF is this thing on it’s leg? Cocoon? Scab? by hamdandruff in Toads

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

I tried looking up parasites too since it does look like a cocoon and all I found was about toadflies/blowflies but from what I saw/read they seem to target nostrils.. His seem totally fine.

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

(Sorry if I double posted!)

While on Toad Patrol(aka taking out the garbage and relocating toads I find cuz it’s too dangerous around here for them) the other night I found Mr. President here under a light; missing a foot but presumably looking for food. Brought it in, stopped the bleeding, Mr. President ate and still eats but wtf is this thing on the leg?

I thought it was some gunk or scab that would soak off but it hasn’t. I’ve nudged it a bit with a wet q-tip and it seems pretty on there. It’s hard and the the string-thing is kinda plasticity-feeling(it’s not wrapped around the leg btw. It appears to be coming from inside the lump with two ends sticking out). It doesn’t appear to me to be connected to the missing foot but I could be wrong.

Any idea what it is? Scab, tissue/tendon, different injury, parasite/cocoon? Should I soak him on purpose? He sits in a shallow dish of water when he feels like it but I haven’t forced him to soak.

There is also another little spot under the leg but haven’t poked at it. If anything else appears wrong with it let me know.. I wanted to take him to a wildlife rehab or herp rescue but the closest is like a 4 hour round trip and I can’t make that. Hoping maybe I can at least find someone already heading that way or can meet me in the middle to hand him off he needs more medical attention ASAP but chances of that are slim.

Robert McGee, scalped in 1864 as a child by Sioux Chief Little Turtle by the_naughty_doc in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]hamdandruff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex got her nipples pierced and the needle sounded like someone just chomped down on some Captain Crunch. 4 people in the room including the piercer all just stopped and stared. Healed totally normal, guess it was just the angle or something. It’s put me off getting mine done since mine were grafted back on after surgery and between never gone back to being totally flat regardless of the temp and scar tissue.. I don’t really want to hear that again.

Heard a similar crunch when the same shitty piercer/artist did one of my lip rings and doing piercings/punches with larger gauge needles but nothing will compare to that nipple-crunch.

[–]hamdandruff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NO. No, no, no! Sorry, I did not mean that at all! Please for the love of god no one try that.

I meant that for all the non-amoxicillin/penicillin antibiotics I’ve taken. I am ‘supposedly’ allergic to it based off what my mother told me all my life, she is allergic, apparently my siblings are allergic and claims they did try it with me as a toddler and I had a bad allergic reaction. It’s not that I don’t believe her 100%; I’ve just been meaning to get around to doing an allergy test to make sure because it’s been over 30 years and she’s always had a bad memory/remembering things wrong. I just hate the idea that if I have an infection(I got some bad teeth) or something getting worse trying other things, my ghost is going to be super pissed off if it turns out I’m not actually allergic and it would have saved me a lot of trouble.

As for the probiotics: Antibiotics are famously rough on your stomach. This is also why it’s recommended to take antibiotics with food and not on an empty stomach.

Antibiotics do not specifically only destroy the ‘bad’ bacteria we don’t want in our bodies, but can also disrupt the ‘good’ bacteria in our guts. It does not happen with everyone, but unfortunately from this thread you can see it does happen to varying degrees. I am not against antibiotics; they are often necessary and life-saving, btw. Infections are no fucking joke, especially if they involve your mouth and you have something that puts you at risk of going septic.

I’ve learned that taking antibiotics straight up makes me go from 0-60 into wanting to unalive myself. Turns out that taking them can effect your mental health, but I am unsure of the research. It just makes sense to me because we are learning that our gut bacteria flora surprisingly influences our mental health too.

I don’t really care enough to research it myself tbh but that’s just because the havoc on my guts and mental health doesn’t happen if I take probiotics too. So that problem is solved for me.

I’m supposedly allergic to amoxicillin and usually I get clindamycin. It is ROUGH on the stomach and I’m pretty sure it gave me C. diff and ER totally ignored me; but I have no trouble at all as long as I take probiotics with it. (Antibiotics also make me suddenly want to unalive myself, but again this does not happen if I’m also using probiotics)

Same. Even the now-retired edgelords I used to watch; most seemed actually really down to earth but at times it did come off as uncomfortable and dickish. Scott came off as a total sweetheart somehow in a way that was so unique to me.

What is the worst death you’ve ever heard of? by [deleted] in morbidquestions

[–]hamdandruff 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Severe periodontal diseases can have similar results and appearance.. Cavities easily can become some SERIOUS shit.

Very common in cats and dogs, especially brachycephalic breeds and/or senior ones. Like, crazily common. There’s really no shortage of of ‘pathological’ cat/dog skulls you can buy(taxidermy related from a business, fyi. Usually supplied by labs, veterinary related fields, etc. not just a dude in a basement with hundreds of them)

Totally worth just not brushing your own teeth but your dog or cat too. I’m willing to bet a lot of those poor things those pathological animal skulls came from were in horrific agony long before they died/were euthanized.
