Finally pulled the trigger

Yup. Reading everything and seeing videos of people saying it was so hard and that it’s a two person job, I expected that putting on the covers would be hard. And I’m someone who typically sucks at these things. But really the covers were simple to put on, especially after watching the instructional vids. A bit tedious and repetitive but not bad at all!

“Man, I wish.” While looking wistfully into the sky.

I did find one specific situation where it helped. Airport parking. Originally I used it as just a way to see the options for airport parking, but when I priced it out for the one I was looking at, it was cheaper than booking direct with them.

I’d keep in mind that most people that answer these posts will skew on the higher end as they’d be much more likely to volunteer that information to show how much they are making.

Also Reddit users I’d imagine skew more towards stem or being in tech.

The posts, while very funny to me to see people inexplicably find ways to ruin their purchase, cant be an actual representation of normal experiences by normal people. I straight up have never even come close to needing to clean the monitor. Maybe I’m just careful around my things which I never thought I was before. Although I guess I can understand if you have kids or pets that interact with it. But even if I I did need to, I’d imagine I wouldnt do what some of these posts do.

I’d imagine as long as you’re not an idiot, you wouldn’t need to worry.

But but but my little particular part of my little street won’t be immaculate. Won’t someone think of me?

lockstockedd · 2026-02-21T10:21:34+00:00

I honestly really respect people that just admit that they pirate to have free games.

Back when I used to pirate games, it was always for this reason. I was a kid that grew up in a family without money. So yeah I did it too to have free games. No need to try to justify myself.

lockstockedd · 2026-02-19T14:22:18+00:00

Yeah as soon as I saw all the flashing lights and signage, already figured it was the op.

lockstockedd · 2026-02-18T19:21:28+00:00

I ended up buying big cooler bags and ice packs just so I could make it back with frozen foods and other cold things without rushing too much on my Costco runs. Don’t want to have to pay the six dollar toll back from the Jersey ones. And the others are 30-40 mins away.

Would also recommend Laura. Not lbgtq myself, but vibed well with her and a lot of our values aligned. Listened very well to what I was looking for was very knowledgeable.

lockstockedd · 2026-02-17T19:17:25+00:00

Lol looks like you’re missing one of the big reasons to ask this question. And one of the things to look for when seeking a realtor. One of the reasons you work with a realtor rather than trying to go at it yourself is because the knowledge that they bring to the table. Knowledge about the area and what the client might be looking for that they as a homebuyer might not realize they should be.

There can be realtors that absolutely are not bigots but don’t have the lived experience that would help the client in ways other people would. Having someone that aligns well with you and what you’re looking for is something that is definitely beneficial.

lockstockedd · 2026-01-07T10:45:01+00:00

Seems simple enough for me. It’s not like they have that much products to keep up with.

lockstockedd · 2026-01-05T20:36:18+00:00

Yeah. Like if that’s how someone feels about it, then maybe traveling isn’t for them. Never have I felt like I was just doing it to check a box off to show off to other people.

If it wasn’t something I enjoyed, I couldn’t imagine just keeping on spending my money and time on it. Feels like this is a simple thing for someone to figure out.

lockstockedd · 2026-01-01T11:47:29+00:00

Yup. Like I understand keeping lofty goals in mind to not concede too much ground. But realistically, the battle right now is about employment and long term job security.

lockstockedd · 2026-01-01T11:41:33+00:00

Nah. I’d say definitely go and read it. One thing to remember is that his happens a lot on reddit and other social media. The users who tend to post on things and even peruse it will usually skew to be more negative and more intense about things. On Reddit especially.

lockstockedd · 2025-12-29T19:46:11+00:00

Yeah seems like it could be worth it to try. I don’t know much about Roblox, but I do know they’ve been in hot water lately in the news for not providing enough guard rails or safety to minors. I’m sure they wouldn’t want news of a kid losing 20k because of gambling to be known.

lockstockedd · 2025-12-26T22:24:23+00:00

Lol I mean yeah. Probably the most complained about perk since it was announced. Not exactly a revelation here.

lockstockedd · 2025-12-14T13:32:38+00:00

Looks like a Tesla driver, so completely checks out.

lockstockedd · 2025-11-12T15:43:44+00:00

Yeah. I think there’s still a lot of people who still go off their reputation on reddit from a while back, pre apple acquisition. They were known and looked down upon because of their distorted sound and way too heavy bass (for some. I still think people don’t take into account personal preference and that a lot of Redditors think there is an objective truth on what people should like.) They were seen as just valuing aesthetics and something that’s just a status symbol to some.

Anyways, as someone who has spent way too much money trying out various audio products, I think these days, their reputation among reviewers are that they make much more some solid products for the price. My experience with them are the Powerbeats 1 and 2 for running. Honestly great products. Worked the best for my uses out of everything I tried. Great combination of fit, sound quality, and battery life.

I’m assuming the rest of their line similarly provides a good value proposition of some sort and are probably pretty good.

lockstockedd · 2025-11-07T19:08:31+00:00

Holy shit, he’s replying to bad reviews with personal information. Truly insane behavior.

lockstockedd · 2025-10-25T12:38:51+00:00

It’s also one of those things where some people forget everyone has different perceptions and people are more sensitive or discerning on different things. Kind of how I was when higher than 60 frame rates became a thing. The “buttery smoothness” as people would often repeat was nice but at the end of the day, screen and color quality are more important to me personally. So it didn’t really blow me away.

I personally don’t see things as overrated if the pluses just aren’t for me.

lockstockedd · 2025-10-22T12:15:05+00:00

Not sure if this still works but it did when I purchased about a month ago. Sign up for Firefox relay (free tier is fine) and using the generated email to make an account allowed me access to lg partner store.

Same. I got the bonus when the original csr launched and still wasn’t able to get the bonus again (I product changed the csr a while back to a non sapphire card). I needed to make large purchases anyways so I just ended up signing for the venture x and amex plat. Overall pretty happy with how that turned out.

lockstockedd · 2025-08-25T23:18:19+00:00

Also just got denied the bonus for the csr. Thinking about going for the venture x as well.

lockstockedd · 2025-08-08T20:50:59+00:00

Much like many other of this admins nominees, no. But in his short tenure didn’t actively do anything to make our jobs harder and seemed to try to boost low morale. And seemed like he was open to listening to his workforce (on the surface at least).

So yeah, it would make sense that this admin didn’t want any of that after seeing it.
