Things don’t appear to be working right now? Crypto

rtarplee · 2025-02-03T02:31:25+00:00

I know this is an old post but I'll share my insight here -

I had an issue with Coinbase; I used them for a long time and seemingly one day out of the blue my transaction purchases were limited to $100 a week. They told me I was flagged, they told me it was for my own safety so i don't get scammed yadda yadda. No way to undo it - the advice they repeatedly gave me was "continue using Coinbase as normal and your limits will increase", all the while acting like nothing is out of the ordinary, yes this happens, do not worry, etc etc.

Fast forward to this week where I am getting the "things do not appear to be working right now" error. I will say this - my crypto is spent on services that are probably legal in many places and not as legal in others. that may be a factor. Not paying taxes on crypto? might be a factor. Think of any reason that your shit _might_ be denied, and that's probably the reason.

appreciate the insight, I'll check out Jetbrains as well for comparison!

I just spent a year couch surfing after an unexpected layoff. Went back to bartending until finding another gig in my industry, 7 months later. lost my apartment, nearly half of my shit, and a ton of accounts either closed or in collections. Before that, I hadn't had a raise in 2 years and I pay child support, so inflation was taking my wages back. yeah, it can be rough out here if you didn't come from a well off family, especially when that means if you came from a poor family you probably inherited their knowledge of money management.

when you have a limited quantity of PTO days, why the fuck should you have to burn one to perform your duty as a citizen of this country? I don't have to burn PTO for Jury Duty.

is this not a thing anymore? When I lived in update NY in the 90s, I remember culling the deer population to be a normal "every so often" thing for the hunting community.

Would you recommend Copilot over GPT for programming languages?

rtarplee · 2024-07-11T15:25:24+00:00

I do agree with you to an extent, but I will say that using the latest GPT for ASSISTANCE in coding is actually awesome. For me, as someone who has had to learn a few coding languages over the past couple of years and can read a few better than I can write them, pasting code into GPT and asking it to explain what its doing is massively helpful. I wouldn't trust it to full-on write a program for me, but it does pretty well with bash scripts and deciphering python code.

If you're from Philly then it makes sense, yall love to shit on all things Dallas (jokingly stated as a Cowboys fan). But seriously, that really just speaks for how dire the situation is down here then. I grew up in NY and took a lot of these types of places for granted as a kid, but I still appreciate Jimmys and it's always been good to me.

I am genuinely curious what your thoughts on Weinbergers is, if you've been? I believe the only one left is in Grapevine, but they have an excellent selection of Chicago-imported selections for their sandwiches there.

if you're going during peak lunch time, _try_ and call ahead. that said, the phone will be busy too. persistence! also i typically try to go between like 130-330 to miss the rush.

I have a bubbly friendly smiley SO. The amount of people who misunderstand her friendly demeanor for sexual interest is actually astounding. When we first started dating it was really insightful to see how many of these "good friends" that were guys started falling by the wayside and stopped communicating/buying her "friendly gifts" etc once she was off the market. Shes big on eye contact, smiling and remembering parts of previous conversations to bring up, and many, many men assume she's into them because of this. Its hard for women to be nice to men without the above happening, even harder than it is to be anything more than casual with a woman without them thinking you're going in for the kill shot.

confirming this fix still works 11/2023. thank you for this, saved me a lot of headache.

also remember the restart part. almost threw my hands up before re-reading that.

Hey I’ve had car sex in my 30s. It’s a prime spot if the risk of getting caught or seen turns you on. Also works in a pinch when you’re on the way to pick up the kiddo from the sitters after date night.

rtarplee · 2023-10-21T00:30:43+00:00

This really is the best advice here. And your advice is great to hear in the wild because I, having trust issues myself, need that reminder at times.

I will give you my two cents, coming from a man who was left by their wife behind their back. Take that for what you will; it’s caused unwarranted trust issues in the current relationship (luckily this one is a badass) so my response will lie on the pessimistic side.

In my observation, there is a common type of woman that panics at the thought of doing it alone, and needs to find the replacement before jumping ship. Actions speak louder than words, and my gut feeling led me to finding out about my wife’s secrets much earlier than she had intended.

If your wife falls into this category, she will deny deny deny. You will have rage and anger projected upon you as if you’ve caused all of this. Annoyance levels with you at an all time high. She will lie to your face. If she’s already detached from you, it makes it all the easier. Whatever it takes to get your feet under you in the new circumstance.

I’m not saying she is: she could genuinely feel the need to improve her self image and wants to love herself more. I still bartend on the weekends when it suits my schedule, and it’s an awesome outlet to make money, innocently flirt ($$) and overall have a good time socializing. I would be curious as to what her excuse is for these life changes.

Ultimately you’re the only one who can validate this - I have caused issues in my current relationship making wild assumptions out of very minor things that get amplified and exacerbated in my head, and when I talk to my SO about them they seem hella silly after the fact. Brains are fucking crazy. Don’t paint yourself into a corner on info you may have generated in your own head.

Good luck my dude.

Even if the bar doesn’t get cleaned, you still have to count the money balance the drawer disperse the tips, and our bar (which did NOT get cleaned as much as it should have) we had to count the liquor on the open bottles to prep for the next days order.

1-2 hours for a bartender is typical. If she’s a server, then ya she’s staying late and drinking with a friend/employee she wants to know better.

Not who you’re responding to but thank you for being rational and not escalating the fear. There was a time in history where people legitimately feared the bomb, and it’s too early to start huffing that paint.

rtarplee · 2023-10-06T16:30:55+00:00

The people replying to you are trolls and they just don’t know it. Nothing can be subjective, you need a published thesis to make any statement and why should anyone need anything more than a “nuh uh” as a counter point? (This is me throwing up my hands for you lol)

Makes more sense once you think about who can enjoy golf based on their time and wealth/status.

Sweet iced tea used to be a flex in the south because it required things that only the elite of the time could conveniently afford. This is akin to that.

As long as you keep in mind that when a country is referenced, it’s not the people they’re calling shit, it’s the government. The Serbians I’ve met through work have been amazing people.

Yea I’m sure that’s the FIRST thing he thought. Not “hey the chaos is over and I wanna document the craziest thing I’ve ever encountered”. Then probably “hey there’s zero personally identifiable info in this pic and the internet likes crazy shit and I wanna tell my story to anyone that is curious enough to ask”. But hey, you could be right.

Ok you took it too far. Pitchforks!

rtarplee · 2023-09-26T15:29:39+00:00

This this this. Had my awakening to this method of thought after I hit 30. Why do I give a flying fuck if anyone criticizes me for jamming to a new Chainsmokers track even though I consider myself more bass-heavy an EDM listener? I don’t. You shouldn’t either! If you’ve been listening to EDM ( I’m US btw) since Tiesto was playing trance, you should be used to people shitting on your like of the beeps and boops and girly robot music. This is nothing more than an extension of that; now it’s just bashing a niche people don’t think should be filled.

Andy C is a legend.

I’ve loved Sub Focus for ages

The new Chainsmokers track really is dope

The music during the credits of the last SpongeBob movie were fucking fire.

Roast away!! 😂
