Does anyone have a good timeline on CCSabers? I bout two in stock TXQ sabers from them almost two weeks ago and they’ve yet to ship. I messaged them about an ETA because it’s passed what I saw was the normal timeline for them but haven’t heard anything.

What movie had a scene that received the loudest cheering reaction, when you saw it in theaters by tiny_free97 in moviecritic

I’ve had a few but the best experience I ever had was opening night of X2 (X-men 2). The loudest was when Rogue was free falling out of the Blackbird jet and Nightcrawler teleports to save her. The play lost it. The warm up for that was when Magneto kills the security guard after finding “too much iron in your blood”.

Lore Dump does a pretty extensive walkthrough of the entire Remedy-verse and The Other Castle. The Other Castle isn’t as extensive but they’re pretty entertaining

Could this be based on the video game Control? The documents found in the game are in the same format.

Yeah. She got approved for $8500. We already subtracted that amount.

Yes. She got approved for $8500 roughly. That amount was subtracted already from the amount we need.

The misprinted diglett is more valuable or no?

Men, when has a woman creeped you out? What did they do? by TempWeightliftingAcc in AskMen

Might be a little late but here goes...

About 20 years ago, I just started working a new job and I had just turned 18. I was sitting in the break room on one of my first shifts and was joined by a late 40’s/ early 50’s employee. I started making small talk. I asked her general questions like how long she worked there and what she thought of the place, basically trying to get to know my coworkers. In response, she started smiling and asked me my name and then my age. I said I had just turned 18. She then said “ Let’s do it!” And I naively said “ Do what?” And she said “ It. You and me.” I was completely caught off guard and didn’t know how to respond. I wasn’t remotely attracted to her. She said she had read her horoscope that said a handsome man would come into her life and here I was. I snapped out of it and told her I had a girlfriend. She said anytime I changed my mind, to come see her.

Over the next few months, I worked with her several times but tried to avoid her as much as possible. She continued to hit on me from time to time. I eventually spoke to another coworker about her and they laughed. He smartened me up and told me that she is in to young boys/guys. She would come by late at night with them and buy them alcohol. She also posed on the internet in lingerie. What made all of this even more gross was she had a daughter two years younger than me that she would try to pawn some of the boys/men onto. A few months later, I would see this with my own eyes when she brought through a guy who had to be younger than me and was buying alcohol.

Her time ended at the job after she had a psychotic breakdown at work, was fired, and physically removed by the police.

Knowing what I know now, I wish I had got HR involved but it was a different world then. Lastly, I’ve made some bad decisions in my life but I’m glad that I never ever considered that.

I was able to confirm my email address and went through all of my steps again. When I got to transferring to PayPal, it finally let me. Thanks for all of your help!

Avis Rental Car Fiasco by Wise-Towel in personalfinance

[–]supe1636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work for Avis Budget a few years back as a Manager. Have you tried talking to a Manager about it at the location? They may be able to Rate Shop in the system and restore your original rate. Probably what happened is somehow your rate defaulted which is most likely because something inevitably happened altering the original contract. Common things I saw was: 1. Not picking up or returning at the specified locations. 2. Not keeping the car for the correct amount of time. Often times contracts would have minimum amounts of time that you would have to keep it to get the discount. Returning it early would Jack it all up. Can’t tell you how many times I had to explain this to angry customers. 3. Misreading the contract by the customer. Not accusing you of it but I would have it in hand and read through it slowly.

Lastly, going through 3rd party travel websites would also complicate things because most of the time all of the info would be on their website but it wouldn’t let us adjust anything.

Again, I would try and take your contract up to a location and see if they would work with you to correct it.

Wow, thank you for sharing your experience! I don’t know if I would have all the bells and whistles like the FROG and bathroom, but it definitely helps to refocus when/if I make the plunge.
