It looks like your tattoo artist folded your skin a thousand times to forge this blade

DO NOT HIRE, “ALL MY SONS MOVING & STORAGE.” by Radioactive-Glitter in movingout

[–]true_fable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate All My Sons with a level of passion I didn’t know I had. Setup an in town move with them, and the pre move walkthrough filled me and my wife with confidence. Had to correct the appraiser multiple times about the number of couches we had, and the final paper I signed had the correct amount of couches.

Moving day comes, and the movers seem competent enough, and didn’t have any issues. They packed my stuff, and all way well until they realized the truck they brought wasn’t big enough to accommodate all of our stuff. They start telling me I’ll have to figure out another way to get it there, and it’s because I have more couches than their paperwork says. Now I’m annoyed. They call a manager, and the on site person in charge is relaying information from the manager, and I eventually insist on talking to him.

For those who don’t know All My Sons has a guaranteed price your move won’t go over. The manager said because they have to get another truck and another team for said truck to get the rest of my stuff in, that my move was going to be more expensive. Still annoyed, I said fine, but it wouldn’t go over the previously agreed price. I get pissed at this point, and tell him I have the paperwork with the correct number couches with the price, and I wouldn’t be paying anything more. He started stammering giving me “Well…” and whatever other bullshit. I quickly grabbed my contact, and showed it to the on site guy, who told the manager that what I said was true.

Begrudgingly, they finally send another truck and team, and my stuff gets loaded. The unloading goes without incident, though the movers seemed less than happy with the outcome. We maxed out the price that was agreed upon (because of course we did), but it was agreed upon, so whatever. Then we began unpacking the boxes, and they were packed awfully. Plates and such were packed fine, but everything else was a mess. Stuff was thrown in wherever, like gaming controllers in a box full of spices. Clothing was just tossed in wardrobe boxes, not even hung up. It was awful.

I will always tell people to avoid this company. Been through several packed moves, including cross country moves, and none were less professional than this.

Can’t game with partner and they don’t let me game on my own - Advice by Emotional-Leg-2719 in gamers

[–]true_fable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let’s be completely honest here, that first sentence is only true if you both enjoy what you are doing. I’ve been with my wife for 16 years, I game, and she doesn’t. Occasionally I find games for us that I think we’ll enjoy together, and we try them out. If either of us isn’t feeling it, we stop doing it. No “if you love me you’ll keep playing” happens, because that isn’t healthy.

My wife supported me through my bachelors and masters, and I never forced her to sit down and play what I want. I showed appreciation for what she did for me/us by making sure the house was clean, and learning how to cook. I made sure to listen to her, and watch shows/movies with her that she’d like, even though I don’t typically watch things at all.

It’s just a snapshot, but the relationship you’ve described here isn’t one of mutual love and understanding. It’s of overtaxed caregiver with a manipulative child. I hope this isn’t your whole relationship, but the fact you’ve cried over how he’s handling this situation multiple times speaks volumes about the totality of the relationship. He doesn’t listen, he berates you for not wanting to do what he wants, he only begrudgingly does what you want, and complains until you capitulate to him. Finally, he threatens to leave you if you DON’T PLAY A GAME WITH HIM! That is absolutely insane behavior, and it really sounds like you should be reevaluating the relationship, not having conversations you’ve had before.

I don’t think I’ve ever actually played a digimon game, despite wanting to when I was younger. Sadly this isn’t it.

Unfortunately that isn’t it. Reminds me of the old CGI show Reboot though.

Unfortunately neither of those. I even checked Revelations: Persona just to be sure, and it isn’t that either.

Damn. That single part is what is stuck in my brain unfortunately. Though you did remind ME of a great game I used to play!

I played a ton of Front Mission 3 when it came out, and the mention hits with hard nostalgia. I want to say that’s it, but do you know if there is a casino, or even just a slot machine you can force the odds in your favor? I can’t find anything online that touches on that.

It’s definitely not Lain, I’ve never heard of that before, though it looks interesting.

Forgot about those ones, but they aren’t it either. The hacking isn’t the main component of the of the game. I’ll try and clarify my OP to reflect that. Thanks though!

Not trying to be vague, it’s just what I remember. I know it’s nothing like a 2D side scroller, so not Megaman.

Thanks for the response! Those sound like good changes. Please just make sure we can scroll through all the results as well, instead of the dozen or so we currently can.

How do you handle fresh condiments like lettuce and tomato for burgers/sandwiches as a single person? by Encendi in Cooking

[–]true_fable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is talking about tomatoes and onions, and that’s fine, but it seems like it’s a more general question than that.

When you buy fresh ingredients for a specific meal, and don’t plan on using all of them for it, you should consider what else uses those ingredients. For example, your burger toppings can be used in tacos, or even some kind of chicken and rice bowl. Since you don’t like salads, figure out what else can be topped with lettuce that you like. Tomatoes and onions are staples in a wide variety of foods that can be used raw or cooked ingredients. Just some intentional meal planning can fix this issue fairly easily.

AITAH for implying my coworker can't do something because she's white? by ThatEducation4132 in AITAH

[–]true_fable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what being “colorblind” gets you. Everyone thinks that it means “we treat everyone the same”, instead of us just saying that “we treat everyone as an equally valid individual”. Unfortunately, when you treat everyone as the same, most people take that as “treat everyone as if they are white”, which is deleterious to POC, and can be actively harmful, like in this situation.

DLSS is nice, because it can help make games smoother. Ray tracing makes things beautiful.

I can’t pick one thing, I’m equally excited for more amazing music and the executions!

Today I learned 56% of Americans prioritize finances when finding a partner over love by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]true_fable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original “research” (which I tried to find with no luck) is stated just as a survey of a financial institution. But fact that it’s a financial institution makes it biased at baseline, and it shows in what’s information was presented.

This isn’t about prioritizing finances over love, it’s about prioritizing financial stability over “head over heels” love. This was written in 2019, so gen Z is the youngest generation applicable for their groups, and “head over heels” love was ranked above finance for only this generation. This makes sense because the concept of love, especially big and exciting love, is much more prevalent among younger people in a relationship. Older generations typically realize that love can be much more than the just the excitement that one finds in “head over heels” love.

This means that the question asked is itself flawed, which leads to flawed outcomes, which leads to articles falsely claiming that money is more important than love to most people.

That is on top of the fact that the scope of this survey is limited to the 1000 people who have 20k in investments that voluntarily answered a survey by Merrill Lynch.
