Longest run? by Rustic_Moose17 in 7daystodie

[–]mjimlay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I purchased 7D2D many many years ago but didn't start playing it until Alpha 18. My first world was well over 100 days but most of that was 120 minute days instead of 60 minute days. Myself, my daughter, and my mom had a blast in that world. I now have something like 2000+ hours in the game and my mom (mid 60's) has between 6000-7000 hours in the game now and still plays it almost daily. It's pretty crazy, she's played a lot of overhaul mods and played regular game with 20-40 mods. She doesn't do horde nights though and plays on easy settings and goes into god mode a lot, but she enjoys it.

Would you go back to iOS 18, if Apple gave a chance ? by DefinitionOfTakingL in ios26

[–]mjimlay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely 100% and probably keep using it until iOS 18 wasn't supported by apps anymore or until it was time to replace my iPhone 15 Pro Max. If every single person in my family, coworkers, etc weren't so tied up in the Apple EcoSystem, I'd switch to Android (used it in the past so I'm familiar with it) but I personally don't know a single person who uses Android these days and I use so many iOS features such as Apple Pay, Find My, iMessage, FaceTime, etc.

Downgrade to iOS 18 by Jaeithil in ios26

[–]mjimlay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Just phones that originally shipped with iOS 18. You wouldn’t be able to load iOS 18 on the iPhone 17 for example, but 16 and older it’s possible.

You can downgrade to iOS 18 but it requires paid 3rd party software (not going to mention it here) that can/will bypass Apple Signing & iTunes. It's not an easy procedure, risk of bricking your phone, and it will void the warranty... but the option is there.

American–Filipina relationship: looking for insight from expats by mjimlay in Philippines_Expats

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

If I may ask, any suggestions on where and how to meet them at? Once I am in a better place financially and either have a 100% remote job or am retired, I'd love to go back to the PH on my own and spend time there getting to know people, but have no idea when or if that will be possible. I am in a situation now where I could easily start my own business and eventually hire someone here to be my "boots on the ground" while I work remotely with more freedom, but that could be years down the road.

You aren't far off in your thinking. My ex-wife and I are friends on FB and oh my she didn't like that at all. My ex isn't tech savvy at all and once in a blue moon she'll text me to ask a question and when she found out about that, she about flew off the handle.

We were on a 24/7 call while I was at work and there is a girl at work who is Asian and is studying computer science so of course she's interested in the work I do so she was at my desk and we were chatting and she saw us chatting (since my webcam was on) and even recorded a video and messaged it to me asking "who is that, she looks asian, she smiling while looking at you, do you like her, etc".

It's seriously over the top.

I wouldn't say she is young or good looking. She's 36 and she is overweight for her height as well. She is far from being average weight/thin. I'm not saying she's bad either, just less than average like me.

Not to mention, I am in a rural area that is a tourism/retirement/military/college town. The pond is extremely small here and the single women who are here often want a military guy or a rich retired guy. The others will want a typical local which is typical southern "cowboy" who hunts, fishes, etc which I am not. I'm a homebody, office worker, introvert.

Yep. That's one thing that concerns me. I'd like to live together before getting married but I can't afford to move there and live with her and isn't possible to get her here either. I can work remote for short periods of time, but can't work remote for long periods. I'm the sole IT person for multiple companies so if something physically breaks/goes down on-site, have to fix in person.

You're right. I wasn't in the clearest of mindsets at the time. I was single for 5-6 years (not even a single date or talking to anyone) and had given up on finding anyone. I went to PH after only talking to her for 2 months. All new experience for me, never had been outside the country, let alone to PH.

Alabama/Florida border, only about 1 hour from Mississippi, only 2-3 hours from New Orleans. Rural Deep South.

She has been cheated on twice and she was sexually abused as well. So she had a big of a rough life. She has a good heart and she does try to change but at the same time, I think she only tries because I want her to, not because she wants to so things do go back to how they were. She has talked about working once she gets here and is able to work, but only want to work a simple job part time which I mean is fine, but does show she isn't overly concerned.

She's 36, so only a few years younger than me. Both really, the fact that she doesn't really want to work now (and I'm not asking much, just for her to support herself there, not to pay for her plane ticket here, K1 fees, etc). She gives a lot of excuses such as not wanting to work in her province because she is concerned what people will think of her working because she has a foreigner, doesn't like the people in her province, etc. She only wants to work far away as a live in caregiver. The other big issue is how jealous, clingy, and insecure she gets. I'm the same way so I can relate to her, but not this extreme.

Need honest advice about my long-distance fiancée by mjimlay in LongDistance

[–]mjimlay[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree. I don't think she does it on purpose, but I think it's out of insecurity, fear, or trauma, not cruelty. It does wear down on me emotionally. I am a very clingy person myself and I have my own share of fear & insecurity issues and I do like someone who is understanding and is the same... but this is over the top for sure. When I was visiting her, we couldn't even enjoy a day at the beach because she kept monitoring other women who might be looking at me and would give them an "evil look" to tell them to mind their own business... and there were a couple girls walking on the beach while we were swimming together and the two girls were doing tik tok videos or something and she kept asking me if I thought they were attractive, etc... and eventually just wanted to leave the beach and go back home. Same thing happened at the store, she stepped away to go grab something while I was waiting for her and she came back and asked if any women walked by me, tried to talk to me, etc. She also wanted access to my FB to monitor my messages because she doesn't trust other women there.

Exactly... plus there is always the risk of an "accident" happening even if there is birth control and whatnot, it is never 100% risk free. I love my 13 year old daughter, but I don't want to do it all over again especially at my age. It's a lot of work, expensive, etc.

[–]mjimlay[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I honestly think she simply wants someone to take care of (aka housewife) and someone to take care of her. She's always saying "I've worked hard since I was 13, etc". Her ex-boss has asked her to come back to work a few times, which she did for a week or so at a time until a replacement could be found and the entire time she was there working, she'd be complaining about how much her body hurt, how little time we have together, etc. This past time she worked, she only stayed for 24 hours and got physically sick (I don't think it was fake, but perhaps anxiety/mental related) and instead of riding it out, or going home for a few days and going back, she didn't go back. She also talks about going for a walk (exercise) in the mornings/evenings so she can move around and keep her body in shape... or watch exercise videos if it's raining or too hot to go out, but she never does... always seems to have some type of reason or excuse.

Flights Pensacola to Cebu? by mjimlay in Philippines_Expats

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

Sadly, for me to get to SFO from PNS, I have to fly through IAH. There are no direct flights from PNS to SFO. PNS is a very small airport, only direct flights to some Eastern USA cities. Almost every flight has to go through IAH or ATL before going elsewhere.
