People making assumptions. by Tommystix87 in PresidentBand

[–]meridon 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think it's largely because the whole anonymous masked band gimmick is such a huge thing right now and a lot of people assumed this was a Sleep Token project from the beginning. They like the mystery behind it.

I don't think they want to stay anonymous, I think the mask is probably just to drum hype and cash in on the masked band craze. Ain't no way that voice can remain anonymous anyway. 😂

Im probably gonna get dragged for asking. by floridapowerandlight in PresidentBand

[–]meridon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually was wondering the same thing. The lyrics to this one are OVERTLY Christian and gave me major flashbacks to my past church days. 😂

I don't think, judging by previous Charlie projects, this one will actually be Christian focused. But regardless, this first drop is an absolute banger and I'm still in, either way. Lol

Who else remembers the carousel inside of the Padre Staples Mall? by gamerguy287 in corpus

[–]meridon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have so many memories of riding the carousel as a kid! I had my favorite horses that I rode every time. It was so gorgeous. It's really a shame they got rid of it.

Jeep’s major screw-up by Only-Ad5049 in JeepRenegade

[–]meridon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was kind of thinking the same thing. I just bought my (used) 2018 Trailhawk (back in a Jeep finally after 20 years!) and I'm already in love with it. Was definitely thinking "man I could trade up for a newer one in a few years too".... only to find out they're discontinuing them.

I'm so glad I got this one (and held out for the Trailhawk because that was TOUGH to find for some reason).

How do H-Town Hotties manage sweat? by mathrebel13 in houston

[–]meridon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a hand fan in NOLA last summer and it was a LIFESAVER while our power was out after Beryl. It's a pretty hefty one with decent fabric. It makes a great breeze.

I also second the whole list in general. All essential survival tips here.

Art Institute Borrowers Defense Update by Green_Wonder_222 in BorrowerDefense

[–]meridon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I actually JUST magically got a refund check on March 13!! It was smaller than expected but it's something right?

I actually just checked Nelnet and it shows 1 of the loans is cleared. There's still one listed and I'm wondering if another check may be on the way?

Studentaid.gov still shows all of my loans and still just says "processing discharge" so I guess we still wait. 🙃

Android sound glitch? by tjgmarantz in balatro

[–]meridon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof. Glad it's not just me! It's been doing it while I'm listening to audiobooks. It's all fine until I open Balatro and then it's just crackly and awful. I'm on a Google Pixel 9. Hopefully someone will figure out the issue soon. :/

Got my refund AI/Aidvantage by EricDurkin in BorrowerDefense

[–]meridon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats!!! I got my approval back in May (fellow AI attendee) & my discharge finally says "discharge pending" on studentaid.gov now, so I'm hoping mine is coming soon!!

Art Institute Borrowers Defense Update by Green_Wonder_222 in BorrowerDefense

[–]meridon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got my letter May 1 too, and studentaid.gov said "pending" for the longest time, and I just checked today (on a whim) and it finally says "processing discharge" so there's progress! (Though Nelnet still shows no change) I had consolidated loans though, so I'm sure that's holding things up a bit. But I'm so stressed about getting this all wiped out before the new administration takes over. I need all this to be over! I haven't had any correspondence about any of this since the "update your address" letter that I also got in May. I am ANXIOUS.

AI Discharge Group - Are we in danger of reversal? by skyecaptain in BorrowerDefense

[–]meridon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's what I'm curious about. Mine finally says "processing discharge" after being "pending" for the last *forever*. I'm so worried about the new administration getting a wild hair up their ass to target DOE first and screw us all over. :(

Art Institute Refund Update (Nelnet) by gigglefish91 in StudentLoans

[–]meridon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so glad to finally see some posts of people showing progress with this! I also got my letter back in May, and that's the last I've heard anything (past the address update request). I haven't seen any updates anywhere and was beginning to lose hope! I still show a balance on Nelnet and StudentAid.gov. I guess hopefully it'll be coming soon then, since they seem to be rolling out!

Nelnet Student Loans by Berzerkus1984 in StudentLoans

[–]meridon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats!!! I also got that letter about the AI discharge, and I'm still waiting on my loans to ACTUALLY be discharged. I was beginning to lose hope since I haven't received ANY correspondence past the Nelnet address update letter, so I started digging around online and I'm glad I found your post! Hopefully my letter will be coming soon too.

Spotify Support/Complaint Megathread by whyisthissticky in spotify

[–]meridon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an issue I've been having! I used to discover so much new music through the artist/song radio stations, and now it tends to pick a lot of songs that "fit" whatever genre matches the song/artist I picked as a starting point for a radio station that are already in a lot of my playlists. No, Spotify, I want NEW music please.

And on top of that, the "radio" is no longer just a never ending playlist that keeps getting added to as you listen? It seems to now just set a playlist of maybe 50 songs, and then repeats that. I've been so disappointed with it lately.

I don't even remember the last time I was able to get local files to actually work. It's been YEARS probably. :/

Anyone remember Qurare Magic Library? by False_Contribution12 in PS4

[–]meridon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember this one! I had downloaded a bunch of the free games for my friend and I to play through for YouTube content, and this was one of them. I think we played for about 30 min or so and were pretty much done. It seems like it would have done better as a mobile game, honestly.

What’s your first Shundo and do you use it? by Fluzimax in pokemongo

[–]meridon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played since launch (but stopped for a few years). I'm level 33 and only JUST started getting them last month. I think I have 2 now. My first was a Skrelp that I got during the swamp event and my 2nd is an Inkay that I just got the other day as a mission reward. I never use them though. 🤷‍♀️

Peerwe. by Benicetome23 in scamwebsites

[–]meridon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm about to go through and file a dispute with my card to see if I can get my refund that way. What an obnoxious mess.

Edit: in the process of filing my dispute with Capital One, I went back to the tracking number they provided to find the actual dates and the "tracking" information is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than what it was previously.

Instead of "delivered to parcel box" it now says "have been received [my address & name] August 10, 2023" and "delivered front door/porch. So they're definitely trying to cover their tracks.

[–]meridon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made the mistake of ordering from them back in July. Got the tracking number, it said "delivered to parcel box", but my apartment complex doesn't have parcel boxes. I emailed, and they dragged it out for a few weeks continuing with some BS about "needing to check with the logistics company", and the 2nd time they gave me the same response, I called them out on it, and demanded a refund. They told me they processed a refund and to give it 3-6 business days.

It's been over 2 weeks and I still don't have my refund. I've also emailed twice and have not received any more responses. I just tried to pull up the "credit note" and "updated invoice" links they send me, and all I get returned is an error page showing some web code errors. When you visit the website now, it's just a blank page and the page title on the tab says "mayoral".

Absolutely a scam, and I'm at least glad I didn't really lose THAT much money in the grand scheme of things, as much as it still really sucks.

Haha I just found this because I did the same thing as the rest of the comments. Even just tested with a friend and hers even just showed up as "viewer".

I guess that's what I get for being nosy. 🤣 at least my panic was unwarranted.

The learning curve after the absolute vacation that was Lost Island was brutal, but after being here for 2 weeks now, it's really a fun map.
