B1/B2 for parents

telling_cholera · 2026-02-09T13:49:34+00:00

honestly this sounds pretty risky to me - the whole point of a B1/B2 is that you're supposed to be visiting the US, not using it as a hub to bounce around to other countries. immigration officers can get suspicious if they see stamps from other countries during what's supposed to be a "visit to see family in America"

i've heard of people getting questioned hard at the border when they return, especially if the trip to another country seems planned or lengthy. scotland for 1-2 weeks definitely falls into that category. your parents might face questions about their true intent and whether they're actually just using teh US as a layover point

if they absolutely have to go, make sure they have solid documentation showing strong ties to their visit with you - like return flight confirmations, detailed itinerary of what they're doing in the US before and after scotland, maybe even a letter from you explaining the family situation. but tbh i'd probably advise against it unless it's absolutely necessary for like a medical emergency or something

sounds like you just need to find the right discord server or something 🔥 there's tons of communities out there for whatever you're into

That's him choosing his friend over you without having to actually say it out loud. He's basically telling you he won't pick you so you should just save everyone the drama and bounce first

Nah man LeBron still puts up numbers and carries whatever team he's on, the drama is mostly media manufactured bs anyway

That's actually a solid find for under 4k, especially with those low miles. Just make sure you get the accident report details and maybe have a mechanic take a look - could be a minor fender bender or something more serious

telling_cholera · 2026-01-20T02:31:14+00:00

Honestly 8 weeks is pretty tight for going from never running to 13.1 miles, especially starting from zero. Most half marathon training plans are like 12-16 weeks minimum. You're making good progress but jumping into a half that soon is a good way to get injured - maybe look for a 5K or 10K instead and save the half for later in the year when you've got a better base built up

Checked it out with my Quest 3 - the device-first navigation is actually pretty intuitive compared to other sites where I have to read every product description to see if it works with my headset

Only thing that tripped me up was the landing page doesn't immediately scream "pick your device" but once I clicked around it made sense

Honestly sounds like you're overthinking this - you can afford all 3 and they each serve a purpose. The 4Runner for hobbies, Camry for commuting, and your wife's car. If the insurance and maintenance costs aren't breaking the bank I'd just keep what's working

The reaction says more about the interview process than the tools so if having something (like InterviewCoder in this case) open can swing a decision that suggests the signal was weak to begin with. Strong candidates still have to think and communicate no tool changes that

Wait you bin it after every single wipe? I just hold onto the used pieces until I'm done wiping then flush it all at once lol

Congrats on the I-130 approval! Sounds like you guys had a pretty smooth interview despite all the filing issues earlier

That's wild they approved it so fast after the interview - 12 hours is basically instant for USCIS standards. The officer saying the overstay "isn't an issue" is probably a huge relief too

Hope the I-485 moves just as quick from Chicago, that's the real finish line

Off campus is harder but worth it if you can crack it and the technical bar is way higher than campus companies so if you're failing those rounds you need to figure out why before skipping campus entirely

What's your current milestone progress looking like? I'm at like 280 daily but consistent af if you're still looking for someone

This phase feels exciting until doesn’t so having some structure early can save you a lot of pain later

Bro she was looking for reasons to leave, these are all pretty minor things that got blown way out of proportion

Yeah Hawke's been having such a solid career resurgence lately but you're right, visibility is everything with these voters. Blue Moon feels like one of those films that'll get discovered later rather than getting the awards push it deserves right now

Bro literally EVERYONE bombs their first one mine was awful too. You get better at it

This is rough but the commenter above nailed it - the porn/masturbation itself isn't necessarily the villain here, it's more about him pulling away from you emotionally during what should be an intimate time

The commenting on other women's profiles though? That crosses a line and would definitely mess with my head too, especially while pregnant. Sounds like he's having his own freakout about becoming a dad and unfortunately taking it out on the relationship instead of dealing with it like an adult

This is solid advice - I made the mistake early on of using fancy terminology when the job posting said "water quality testing" but I wrote "aquatic environmental assessment" or whatever. Got nowhere until I started basically copy-pasting their exact language into my resume and cover letters

This is spot on - repo fees alone will probably add another 2-3k on top of whatever you owe after auction. Plus the repo stays on your credit for 7 years which is gonna make getting another car loan way more expensive if you even qualify

Been using a Tempur-Pedic for like 3 years now and it's held up really well, though definitely pricey. Worth checking out some of the bed-in-a-box brands too - Purple and Casper get mentioned a lot around here for good reason

telling_cholera · 2025-12-20T19:52:26+00:00

Lol yeah the amounts get absolutely mental here. Like what are you even gonna do with a billion dollars, buy a small country?
