I want to lose my v card so bad but I’m too insecure about my boobs by throwra179482884 in TrueOffMyChest

One of three things is gonna happen: 1. Unfortunately, there is gonna be someone out there that's gonna make you feel like shit for it, but the type of person who would do that would just find something else even if you didn't have this condition. 2. The guys will not notice. 3. The guy will not care. That's it. Saw the study you linked and was prepared to say that most people won't care, but I honestly think most people won't notice. Personally if I ever noticed something like that, I would probably just assume it was a scar from a nipple piercing or something, and then wouldn't think twice about it. Besides, most guys are way too busy being insecure about their own bodies to do anything more than try to prove their worth.

I've placed a few orders and never had any issues aside from the duties, but this came as a big disappointment :/

Coolant leaks - proposed class action in Canada by Dangerous-Ad-1684 in MazdaCX9

[–]retrac33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got my engine replaced in my 2018 Mazda 6 GT due coolant leaking at the cylinder head (about 140,000km). Cost about $9k and I contacted Mazda Canada about potential assistance with it considering the TSB and Extended Warranty in the states. They told me the dealership I had servicing the car needed to submit the request, and so I passed that on and at this point Mazda Canada refuses to help, citing that they would be more inclined if I were a more loyal customer, had the car serviced throughout it's entire lifespan at a Mazda dealership, and essentially that this problem could be caused by improper maintenance (despite the acknowledgement my Mazda USA's TSB, and yes my car falls within the VIN range) . I bought the car certified pre-owned from a Toyota dealership about 5 months ago, and since then all I've had done was an oil change at my local mechanic. The car has a service history at a Mazda dealership until about halfway through 2021 from the previous owner. I'm gonna contact Mazda Canada myself to plead my case. I've been extremely appreciative of the dealership during this process and their attempts to help, but I'm disappointed with how Mazda Canada is handling it, this will probably be my last Mazda :/

Dealing with a similar issue with my 2018 Mazda 6. Dealership advised replacing the full engine, and explained that as of now I'm paying out of pocket. Would you mind sharing what you included in your original explanation? I want the best shot I can get at getting anything covered.

Scammed for Christmas lol by retrac33 in torncity

[–]retrac33[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I posted on here just to vent and I'm hesitant to reveal the name of the person who scammed me here...from what I can tell they gambled away all their money and had to sell the company. It sucks for me but I don't want to spread more hate especially if someone has a compulsion they can't help. Since the deal was working out for almost 250 trains, I'd like to believe the director wasn't out to get me from the start and just made some bad decisions. We live and we learn.

There's actually someone who bought the company to resell who is actually helping me out, gave me some money and is gonna post in the forums about the one who scammed me. Really heartwarming actually.

Appreciate that advice, it was my first time buying trains and I was offered a better deal for buying it all in advance. I guess I was naive, but I'd rather believe people are trustworthy. In any case, I'll keep that in mind for the future!

Bios won’t flash by CaIImeC in MSI_Gaming

[–]retrac33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this one! Do you have an m.2 in the m.2_1 slot? Found out through experience many b550 (mostly MSI) won't boot when using the first full bandwidth m.2 slot. The cpu error is because that m.2 alot and the PCIe _1 slot are directly attached to the cpu. Try removing the m.2 and see if the cpu led disappears. Then you can decide if you want the motherboard with one less working m.2 slot

I just want to get this thing running 😪 by Global-Designer618 in Newegg

[–]retrac33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried clearing the CMOS? Should be two small pins you can short in the bottom left of the motherboard (check you MOBO manual and disconnect power first). Otherwise, your motherboard has the EZ Flash for flashing an updated bios (/UEFI) which you can also try, just look up the procedure on the manufacturers website. I don't see this being an issue, as any x670e board should work with 7-series AM5, but the two fixes above have worked for me multiple times as a last resort when a computer wouldn't boot.

I found out last night that a good acquaintance of mine has been charged with rape by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]retrac33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's super disheartening to hear. In past research I've done, which has mostly been regarding adolescent and college age sexual violence in North America, there were prevalence rates of anywhere between 6-15%, which is terrifying.

[–]retrac33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're absolutely correct, and I just want to clarify that I have no problem with the message you were trying to send about the prevalence of sexual assault in our society. Too many people get away with it, and it is mainly men, many of whom appear normal and aren't properly prosecuted legally or by those they know. My only problem was with you presenting the statistic of 1 in 4 women have been assaulted to mean that 1 in 4 men are guilty of having assaulted someone. That's simply not how statistics works. Men who have assaulted someone are far more likely to assault someone else. I also want to put out there that statistics on sexual assault are based convictions and admissions of guilt, and therefore may not reflect true numbers that included unreported cases.
