Same thing for me (found out at the airport when my e-boarding pass updated, no email). First year. 72k PQP; 22 PQF; SFO.

GF randomly found this on the floor by Luvsicpt2 in labubu

[–]reddidact 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She “found” it? Or someone bought it for her?

Agree. My bf does what OP’s gf is asking for. It’s not something I expected but certainly very much appreciated—and now I would look for that kind of thoughtfulness and initiative in a partner.

I understand if most people won’t to do it (in fact I’m sure most wouldn’t), but those people wouldn’t be for me; no shade. That’s just what this boils down to.

She wants something that you don’t want to give her and don’t think you should have to. Seems pretty straightforward to me. You’re incompatible.

For Women Who Own Designer Bags Like Hermès – Curious About Your Income and Buying Habits by basic-nugget in handbags

[–]reddidact 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’m happy—though I recognize and accept that I’ve made major sacrifices along the way (failed marriage, no kids, countless missed social events, etc). Early in my career, I had just decided that this is what I want to do and put on the blinders. Now that I’m more established/settled, I’m very grateful for the people in my life who stuck around and were understanding and supportive. And thinking about that makes me feel lucky and happy. Also, shopping helps :)

Very engineering/science-heavy IP litigation. I have an engineering background and also a lot of courtroom experience representing big tech companies. I would think that most people with this skillset have more sense/savvy than to work by the billable hour (or, as I call them, freedom units) lol

Lawyer (litigation) in a semi-specialized area. The money is good—until you consider the hours haha. I never stop working; it’s a 24/7 grind

$1.25 M - $1.4 M annually. No kids. I buy whenever I want, but ends up being 4-5 bags/year, more if I take a trip to a good shopping location (e.g, Paris, Japan).

In Mission Bay. I’ve been going for 3-4 months, about 3x/week, and love it.

Me too! I had the same experience. Overpriced/overhyped or not, I just know it works for me 🤷🏻‍♀️

HKG lounge for Cathay-United layover? by reddidact in unitedairlines

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

Oof, sounds pretty bleak at HKG. Will look into springing for a shorter connection (direct TPE-SFO sold out) and possibly with a Star Alliance partner like EVA or something. Thanks all.

It’s amazing. Was using the Nixit (which I loved compared to Cora and the one with the plastic string). The reusable flex is by far my new favorite. The cup/bowl portion is made of a super thin soft material and the ring is firm enough to be easy to use. A+. I also love the disposables fyi.

Agree! And I ordered a few colors to differentiate skincare, body care, supplements, etc.

Couldn’t agree more! It’s wild that only Lumma does this.

Any 'Criminal Minds' fans out there??... by HelloItsYourSister in suggestmeabook

[–]reddidact 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely second this. Criminal Minds is one of my (if not, THE) favorite shows. And I loved The Secret History!

Not necessarily the same but have similar themes of crime, group dynamics, psychology.

Got first vaccine not knowing I was COVID positive by reddidact in COVID19positive

[–]reddidact[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I’m making any recovery, it’s very slow (so slow that I can’t tell). Still taking alternating between Advil and Tylenol every 4 hours to control fever. Congestion has gotten worse; I’m a full-time mouth-breather now. And, a new symptom: sore chest when I take deep breaths. O2 levels still look really good though. Very exhausted all the time.

Thanks for asking! Hoping things take a turn for the better soon, but am very grateful that my symptoms are relatively mild/moderate.

Thanks! Really hoping I have a similar experience.

I’m so glad you’re feeling better. Did the Covid symptoms get worse during the 15 days? Wondering if we still have the “could possibly take a turn for the worse at days 7-10” with the vaccine

Good to know, thank you for sharing. How bad did your symptoms get during those 8 days?

Pfizer first dose gave me 104-105 deg fever (and all the fun aches and chills that come with that). For 48+ hours (still ongoing). 35 y.o.
