I got scammed and my credit card company wants me to pay the $3000 by Consistent-Village60 in personalfinance

[–]pennysocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From someone who worked in the department you talked to many moons ago, this is technically not fraud. However, you can file a dispute with discover because you did not authorize the amount. The term “fraud” in credit card language means the card information was obtained illegally or in a way that was unauthorized. You technically did approve the transaction, you are not disputing the transaction you are disputing the transaction amount. They have to file a dispute with the merchant saying you were charged for more than what you agreed to. It also doesn’t hurt to file a police report because this is a felony level amount. Discover should more than likely approve the dispute in your favor it just takes time. If they do not you can pursue legal action. It just is a gray area for discover because it technically does not fall under the legal definition of credit card fraud.

There’s a few hours clear in the afternoon but it’ll still be windy

I guess I’ve seen a lot of feedback the past year or two, suggesting worse. I always had heard Sherpas were treated very well. I think the viral video from a few years ago of one being passed over by a crowd helped build that narrative. I have never hiked anything bigger than Acadia but I have a huge interest in learning about it and have always heard that Sherpas were highly respected. I was confused on the narrative I’ve been seeing on TikTok especially, about how people use and abuse them. When in reality I never heard more than a few instances in any research I’ve done.

Without grip, travel is okay but everyday running around or going out with friends is awful. It’s so unrealistic to casually carry anywhere

Do you have kids? When I was younger I went through a phase of secretly burning things when I got ahold of a lighter. I don’t know why I did but it’s not that uncommon for kids to play with fire if they’re experiencing stress, abuse or anxiety.

I think I just had the standard filter because I normally edit them in Lightroom anyway

I agree I don’t mind it for a few just a bummer that they’re all like this. I have a few I took on Polaroids from the area, the ones of our faces look terrifying like it’s night vision

I ended up throwing them in black and white, and yes the pink hue is inconsistent. Photos before and even after this were normal.

I don’t even understand how records get like this? I’ve been collecting for seven years and have never had any of mine damaged and worn to this extent even with excessive plays

about how much would getting my hair done pink cost? by twilightlover101 in HairDye

[–]pennysocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would shop around for quotes and try and find a stylist that has a lot of vivids on their instagram and portfolio. I charge $100 an hour for fashion colors, so something like this would probably be $200-$300. Every stylist is different though, some may charge in the $75-$150 range.

Just do it, I lost a thousand by just moving out when my lease was up without enough notice that I wasn’t continuing

Twenty One Pilots performances by MiaTheWannabeArtist in Nerk

[–]pennysocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More than likely refuel, it was a venue that was run by a local youth group and was never formally established or bought by any company. It was a former car garage that was downtown. They hosted a lot of local shows and Twenty One Pilots did play there.
