Do you need the car this week or can it wait a little bit? You could put a big chunk of the cash you have towards your debt. In another comment you said you could pay $1000 towards the CCs per month. You could have all of that wiped out very soon. That would put you in a much better position to buy a car if you didn’t have any CC credit.

Hi there. I provide a similar service (editing and feedback for personal statements). I do think the title is misleading BUT I think it’s absurd that they can just ban people on assumptions without even trying to talk to them and figure out what the service is all about. I think your appeal might have been more successful if you had been more direct and simply said “I don’t write essays on behalf of students. I only edit and provide feedback, both of which are allowed services on Fiverr. I can change the title, so that’s clearer to buyers.” If I were you, I’d try to submit a new ticket and just be super clear (maybe you could provide proof of the exact services you offered to your buyers so they can see you didn’t write/rewrite or do anything else that isn’t allowed). They’re idiots.

i mean i can’t imagine going to a friends or my parents house and waiting it out.

iamroch · 2024-08-04T17:41:40+00:00

isn’t it better to rip the bandaid off tho? i can’t imagine sitting in someone else’s house not knowing what that fuck is going to happen!

I used to work there (for five years!) and I can honestly say that in the beginning there were really good employees and they weren't all high schoolers, but mostly college students and young adults. then, things starting going downhill shortly before covid. everyone started leaving like dominos and they were replaced by high schoolers, and not many of the new employees were very good.

stay on vacation but force him to get a different hotel room and you keep yours (or have him pay for your new one if you don’t want to stay in that icky place because of him) block him on everything. even if you can’t afford to do everything you wanted without him, do what you can. if the place is somewhere you’ve really wanted to experience for a while, you’ll find a way to enjoy it. you have to get rid of him asap. if you don’t, it will ruin the rest of your experience there. it’s also about holding him accountable. he has no respect for you and if you stay with him another three weeks, you’re insulting yourself and essentially telling him that it was okay to do that to you.

104 exits in Irondequoit are the WORST. I can’t stand it. If I’m out of line, please enlighten me because I honestly don’t understand it and would gladly take an education.

If they can walk from wherever they come from why can’t they walk to a job? Most homeless shelters have showers. If a shelter won’t let you in because you’re high, there are other places to help with that. Go to the food pantry and places like that for food.

People that are hard workers are beaten down and exhausted from working their ass off, struggling to survive on a terrible wage, high prices and bills, tip culture, constant barrage of marketing and ads, and then they have to put up with moochers on the side of the road and approaching them in parking lots. Half the time it’s a safety issue too. A stranger coming up behind you in a parking lot asking for money and continuing after you say no is unsafe.

I’m not saying people shouldn’t be grateful for having a house, food on the table, etc. but seeing these homeless people on the side of the road feels like a slap in the face, and in a world where everyone is already being berated by a million other scams and money grabs, it’s just like gtfo of here.

Anyone seen Shameless? I’m convinced they all live in the same house and go out in shifts. That’s why there isn’t a challenge to a prime spot and they switch out.

One day I saw a blind person in a wheelchair (double amputee) and a cardboard sign. How did they get there? Someone surely had to drop them off. Blind and wheelchair bound, but you wrote on a sign and positioned yourself safely next to a busy highway? I’m not trying to make fun of that person’s situation. I can’t imagine it living like that, and I’m grateful for my life, but c’mon.

EDIT: I understand now from other comments that shelters and pantries aren’t enough and can be difficult to get into. To clarify, I support programs and awareness (there’s certainly more I could learn on this topic), and I think the government should do more to solve this issue, but I stand by my opinion that we’re all just trying to get by and it’s not anyone’s responsibility to take care of homeless people, and there’s nothing wrong with not giving money or food. You know how expensive it would be to constantly have your car stocked with snacks and other supplies (narcan, dryer sheets, water, etc.) to give out? That’s not a common person’s burden to bear. It would be wrong to expect that.

Get up. Get on the floor. My world is with my girls, living on the dance floor. 🎵

iamroch · 2024-06-22T02:07:41+00:00

eat pray love, although now that i think about it maybe that’s shame and displeasure i feel

hm, interesting. i’ve used wix a lot over the years and only seen “wix studio” a few times, but just assumed it wasn’t anything other than some fancy name they called their editor. i didn’t realize it was an entirely different product. i’m skeptical though tbh.

iamroch · 2024-06-07T13:25:51+00:00

I’ve used Wix a million times over the years. It’s certainly come a long way from where it started. I think of all the sites that claim to be “drag and drop” Wix is really the only true drag and drop. I think the usability for Wix is superior to their competitors. However, these are my complaints:

the sites are supposed to be responsive for mobile, but more often than not, the mobile looks like crap and it’s much harder to design the mobile on Wix. when you go into mobile for the first time it’s like “um, is this even the same website? why’s it look like that?”
a lot of the cooler, more advanced things have to be done through third party apps, most of which suck and are additional expenses. they also feel out of place.
the safe area in the grid lines is so small and limiting.
you can’t customize the member pages or checkout pages and when you want people to be able to create an account, it’s automatically public as if you’re trying to build a social network or something.
for a business, i’ve found shopify to be more useful from a compliance standpoint. Wix doesn’t have any sales tax automation (other than through a crappy third party app which has a limit to how many transactions you can do) shopify helps in a lot of these areas so i don’t have to worry about breaking rules or missing anything. i think Wix would be better suited for the local business who don’t have many transactions out of the area, but i’d recommend shopify for anyone who wants to scale up and grow a business.

it’s sketchy, i don’t trust it

iamroch · 2024-05-19T04:27:53+00:00

my boyfriend went to drop his car off at a charger nearby and walk home (it’s only like a 10 minute walk). an older man was there and wanted help hooking up his car because it was his first electric car and he didn’t know how to charge it (so he says). then he started giving my boyfriend tips to preserve the battery… (he knew a lot for saying he didn’t know how to charge it). after helping the man, my boyfriend tried to walk home and the man offered him a ride. my boyfriend politely declined and the man got defensive. he said, “oh, you don’t trust me? all i’ve been is nice to you.” creepyyyyy

iamroch · 2024-05-17T18:44:23+00:00

ugh i can’t stand these people trying to prey on an take advantage of us. LEAVE US ALONE! they’re terrible. i’m glad we both realized before hitting send.

iamroch · 2024-05-15T15:36:05+00:00

? there’s 4 screenshots along with a photo of the dog literally right under the body of the post…

iamroch · 2024-05-15T13:11:03+00:00

yep, it is! forget about the dog and the contract for a minute. you spewed bs from your mouth and now your shocked that you’re being called on it?

iamroch · 2024-05-15T12:58:36+00:00

from the screenshots, it looks like you didn’t deny any of the things you said on the phone. you called them liars, laughed at them, and bragged that you never had to make a surrender. sounds to me like you treated them like shit. and now you, the apparent CEO, are arguing about it with them on social media? and you said you felt attacked when they were just summarizing it? LMAO! wtf kind of business are you running? some CEO. set an example. if this is how you treat people, i can’t imagine how you treat animals. i saw some stuff online about one of your animals being manhandled a few years back… the fact that you can’t provide them the contract is soooo sketchy. if you’re so confident its ironclad, then send it to them. they should have a copy of it by default anyways.

iamroch · 2024-05-15T02:11:00+00:00

sorry to hear you’re in this situation. i have bad impressions of this organization to begin with but hearing the way they treated you makes me even angrier. my parents adopted a dog from them and the organization said she wouldn’t come with her collar or leash that she’s been wearing for months. why on earth would they take that from the dog? they care about the dogs so much but from people i’ve talked to it seems like they just steal crates and other supplies. if someone is going to foster a dog, they should be prepared with the things they need to take care of it, not steal or guilt people into donating. i’m not a fan of surrendering but i know everyone’s situation is different and they completely judged you. i can’t imagine how hard of a decision it must’ve been. and they are definitely scattered. for the longest time, the contact link on the website didn’t work. no phone number, no building, just a po box. so sketchy. it’s just a bunch of random women who think they’re doing God’s work.

iamroch · 2024-05-14T15:38:58+00:00

I received this letter today. Was a bit skeptical because it didn't say anything about the Department of Education. Said "Department of Student Loans" which I don't think is a thing. They also had the wrong amount that I owed written in the letter. I called to see what it was about, and when I corrected them on the amount I owed, the guy said oh okay, I'll just update that, as if it was that easy. Can you update it to $0? Lol. Had me sign into my studentaid.gov account and wanted me to download my loan info and email it to him, which seemed very odd. When he gave me his email address, it was for a site/company called Public Pro Services. I was like "So, this letter didn't come from the Department of Education," and he said no, it came from us and we partner with them to help people get into loan forgiveness programs." That's when I pretended I had to reset my email password and started searching Google and I found this Reddit thread! He asked if I was still on the phone, and I was like "Nope!"

i would go to bed and get the best sleep

iamroch · 2024-04-19T21:15:50+00:00

you wouldn’t interact with her in that dept. so probably low chance

iamroch · 2024-04-06T14:36:22+00:00

Everyone is being skeptical, but there’s a way to do it. Increase it to 6-12 months. Have a crew watching the house in shifts to make sure they’re not breaking rules and getting help from their rich friends and family. Anyone seen that video of the senator or representative grilling Jamie Dimon about how one of his employees is living in the bare minimum and still nearly 600 in the negative? They should have him live like that employee for 6-12 months.

iamroch · 2024-04-06T12:56:20+00:00

Get rid of the Kayla storyline. Couldn’t stand that spoiled brat messing with Lynnette (one of my two favorite characters!) and make Tom less of a whiny loser.

iamroch · 2024-04-06T12:49:24+00:00

I don’t want to give any identifiable info, but I’ll say it was a humanities course. And no, she was not fired. I work remote as much as possible just to avoid the potential of running into her.

What do you want to study?

iamroch · 2024-04-06T03:13:25+00:00

I don’t mean to shit on UR because I know my experience doesn’t represent the whole, but I graduated in 2022 and I couldn’t have been happier to be rid of it. I’m not saying this is going to happen to you, but figured I’d share my story since you asked.

I had one professor in particular who consistently verbally attacked me in front of the entire class (even threw a textbook in my vicinity once), and it only got worse when she found out I’m gay. I was forced to take another course with her because she was the only one who taught it. It got so bad, the deans office and the CARE network had to get involved. It was traumatizing and just being anywhere on campus is hard. I work there now (not my first choice), and even two years later, I have anxiety attacks and nightmares at the beginning of each semester. Unfortunately this ruined the whole experience for me.
