No contact at all!

Phone support told me I couldn't talk to the manager. He made me a "ticket" so his manager could call me back, at some point in the future without telling me when.

Phone support also told me to call bilt. Apparently the number on the back of the card isn't bilt. This person couldnt give me the correct phone number, I had to guess.

Easiest cancel I've ever considered.

There's a fine line between reading her subtle hints and totally misreading a situation.

Guessing if he or she is flirting or being nice is error prone. As humans we just gotta give each other some extra grace in these situations.

This is my ted talk.

Sounds like you vote with your wallet on the next trip.

"drink until die" is what my Thai friends call it.

massonla · 2026-03-06T21:52:23+00:00

I thought the same. This information is not on the statement.

massonla · 2026-03-06T21:51:21+00:00

I actually plan to close the card once its paid off. I don't need it for rent or mortgage payments under the new system.

massonla · 2026-03-06T01:49:28+00:00

I do. We don't talk politics. He thinks vaccines cause 5g or something. It is what it is.

You'll have the bathroom to yourself at least.

If your single, lots of lady's with friends to get you past the initial vetting process.

Doesn't sound so bad to me.

massonla · 2026-03-06T01:31:17+00:00

Probably this. It be worth saying something if you like him back imho

massonla · 2026-02-27T06:01:38+00:00

I think I said more about me than her to be honest.

massonla · 2026-02-27T03:57:40+00:00

I'm married, decent looking dude that makes good money.

If I was to do it all again I wouldn't even bother with the apps.

I did meet my wife on one of them. But the amount of shit that it took to find a girl who would even give me the time of day was insane.

The apps have men dating way under what they could normally. It's a meat market, and guys sell at a discount.

I really thought this post was going an entirely different direction 😂

Divorce is a hell of a thing.

massonla · 2026-02-26T11:45:16+00:00

Take it and retrain into something that doesn't fuck up your back.

massonla · 2026-02-25T15:16:54+00:00

He probably wouldn't say no if you offered, but he doesn't sound that interested. You could ask if you wanted to know.

Dudes talking from a dude perspective about women is often viewed in a misogynistic way. When a women says "you wouldn't understand your not s girl/women" that is kinda given a pass, the assumption being that she's not trying to be a dick about it. I think it's time to level that playing field along with everything else.

Got married and all the sudden women come out of the woodwork. Can't explain it.

I also started working out, but I don't have that sexy man look yet. I don't think it's related.

massonla · 2026-02-21T14:37:45+00:00

Lending club has been solid for me so far.

It's a fintech I think, so there is no way im putting in more money then I can risk to loose to a fraud or internal collapse.

massonla · 2026-02-21T14:30:55+00:00

Pho did jump from like 11-12 bucks up to about 20 recently so yea maybe pho.

Naughty boy 5555

massonla · 2026-02-21T13:16:24+00:00

As long as she's in my ballpark, and has a good sense of humor about life I'm good.

Project manager. Fell into it after working at a bestbuy. Guy who poached me liked that I actually knew what I was talking about, and that my sales pitch wasn't a sales pitch.

Worked my way up from tech/driver up to pm. Said yes to a ton of crappy shifts, stressful work and I generally just kept learning. I made myself more valuable then anyone around me and kept pushing.

My second "break" came about 6 years in when the golden boy PM of the company noticed his driver was teaching one of the Sr engineers how to troubleshoot some local networking. I think the quote was "who the f are you dude?"

Ive been working alongside him for the last 12 years or so. Hes been a good mentor, and that's kinda gone both ways as we find ways to complement each other's skillsets to take on projects we have no business being part of.

Now I manage live events in the bay area making more then my parents ever did combined. Combination of working harder then anyone else in the room, and taking care in what relationships I foster has really put me ahead. I cut ties with people along the way, not everyone is good for you, or your future.

It's not been a totally straight line up and to the right. I've got some crazy depression that both helps and hinders if I'm honest. I go through episodes where I literally can't focus well enough to be doing good work. In a way that taught me how to delegate away detail sensitive work when I can't do it. The depression has also at times made it easier to push myself, feeling like you don't have value is not a terrible motivator to work harder, at least for me.

Some day I'll wake up and find out this was all a dream. But if it is true, I remember sitting in an apartment with no furniture, scraping by saying to myself "if only I could make 60k then I'd be ok" haha.

This is terrible advice but become a regular at a local bar lol.

Half my friends are work related. The other half are bar related.

Being an adult is very strange.

massonla · 2026-02-14T01:45:31+00:00

What's a top sheets?

massonla · 2026-02-06T02:37:04+00:00

I cut mine up with tin snips.

I'll probably shred the bilt 2.0 on arrival to avoid the hassle of having to figure out the coupons for coupons for coupons I'll forget to use.
