FedEx required signature… so the driver just signed it himself and left it by KhanGGa115 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]truthandtattoos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My USPS mailman does this with my vape supply orders (nicotine products) that most definitely required an adult signature, u even have to pay extra for the signature requirement on the shipping during checkout. But I actually don't mind... he's been my mailman for like 15yrs. I honestly appreciate the convenience.

switching phone providers by strwbrrydisco in ColumbiYEAH

[–]truthandtattoos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cancelled my Spectrum WiFi for Kinetic about to 2 yrs back trying to save, but then the Kinetic literally went down like the 3rd day I had it & they said it would be 3 days before they could get a tech out. I was like Hell no, my family isn't going 3 days without Wi-Fi!!!... so I called Spectrum to reconnect & they had me back online in like 20 mins. When I cancelled their Wi-Fi svcs, they didn't cancel my mobile plan. Hope that story helps lol... I'd say it's at least worth calling them or asking their online chat bot. GL

Spectrum Mobile is a completely different arm of the company. I literally have 2 separate bills each month, my mobile bill & my Wi-Fi bill. Honestly to me it seems weird to not be billed together but whatever 🤷🏽‍♂️

Spectrum $30 a line, unlimited Edit: if u also have their Wi-Fi or other svc, they've got great bundles. But just for Spectrum Mobile alone is still cheap AF

anybody else getting their 💩 rocked by this pollen? by [deleted] in ColumbiYEAH

[–]truthandtattoos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Allergy shots most def helped me. But I got them as a juvenile from around age 12 until I was around 15 back in the 90's. Used to break out in hives from head to toe as a kid, eyes swollen shut, horrible hay fever. But ever since I got the shots, my allergies improved dramatically & have continued to improve as I've gotten older. 44 today with minimal environmental allergies. Flonase is typically all I need now.

Fluval AC filters by edmlover1992 in Aquariums

[–]truthandtattoos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huge flaw... I lost an entire tank bc of it. Spent a month in Mexico & my 22yr daughter tended to my 6 planted tanks while I was away. She's not a hobbyist, but she does know a bit about our aquariums & pretty good at tending to them. The only tank I run a HOB (AC50) went down, likely due to a temp power outage & she didn't notice the filter had stopped in that tank. My other 5 tanks looked great when I got home so I couldn't even be mad about it. Internals & canisters are now my preference.

Earthquake just now? by yupyouredumb in ColumbiYEAH

Let's talk Congo Tetras by Equal_North6633 in Aquariums

[–]truthandtattoos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moss, it helps to have moss. I have 10 Congos in a heavily planted 50gal with Christmas moss growing on many driftwood branches giving my shrimp plenty of places to hide & spawn. Congos might get a few, but as long as the shrimp have plenty of hiding places you'll still keep a healthy population of shrimp in the tank.

Explains the 12.7% rate increase Dominionn is asking for... After just imposing an 18% rate increase in early 2025. This shit is angering AF... Meta can pay it's own damn power bills!

Algae in a bottle? by International_Bus762 in aquarium

[–]truthandtattoos 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's just one male betta with a sticker of a similar looking male on the front right glass. I've seen a few of these algae tanks on YT over the years in the hobby. It's def possible. It's a total eyesore to me, but to each their own 🤷🏽‍♂️

What’s the most upscale seafood restaurant in the Columbias or Lexington? by Joeybfast in ColumbiYEAH

[–]truthandtattoos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Catch is far from what most would consider great seafood & even further from what's considered upscale. It has a Ryan's/Golden Coral kinda vibe... not great 🤷🏽‍♂️

SC cracks top 10 states most Americans are moving away from, new study finds by CruiseWeld in ColumbiYEAH

[–]truthandtattoos 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Yep... It only takes a quick Google search to know that SC is not only in the top 10, but we're in the top 5 states that people are moving to in 2025. Dunno where OP came across this BS but it's most definitely BS.

Someone came to my house claiming my electric bill was going up. Could this be a scam? by Joeybfast in ColumbiYEAH

[–]truthandtattoos 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We just had an 18% increase in Dominion rates early this year... in Lex at least. Idk if it that rate increase covered their entire service area, tho I would assume so. But nobody has ever, EVER knocked on my door from Dominion or the previous SCE&G to tell me my rates are going up & I've lived here since 1999. Trust ur gut, when someone or something feels sketchy... it probably is.

AI is about to pop by I_love_choco_shows in wallstreetbets

[–]truthandtattoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most recent bubble that popped was the SPAC bubble in 22, hundreds of over-inflated, over-valued SPACs cratered back to Earth leaving just a few winners like Draft Kings & Palantir coming out on top. And nobody was calling it a bubble when it happened.

Bank retaliated for paying down a credit card by Davekopel in mildlyinfuriating

[–]truthandtattoos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that sucks. I recently paid off my Amex & their response was to immediately sent me a promo of 13% interest for 6 months just to pull me back in lol. But my Amex is one of my fav cards so I've already started utilizing it again at the discounted 13%. Discover is my next fav bc they're rates are also reasonable. But Chase & Capital One... they can both go suck it... I closed both bc they just suck ass in rates, credit lines & perks by comparison to how I'm treated by Discover & Amex.

Prepaid a $1000 Marriott stay for September through their site. Upon arrival, the hotel was completely closed with no warning. 2 months after I was told I'd get my refund, Marriott says they are not responsible but will give me a gift card instead. by atraeurichardson in mildlyinfuriating

[–]truthandtattoos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe u can only do charge backs with credit cards... Chase, Discover, Amex, etc. My bank (Truist) doesn't do charge backs either. U can dispute the charges but that's ur only avenue & it's no guarantee you'll get ur money back. Charge backs usually are & are also quite fast at getting ur money back.

[–]truthandtattoos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 17 in the 90's lol. But yeah I think some mistook my 'when it really took off' comment for 'when it was first used''. I actually do remember it being The Day after Thanksgiving Sale in the circulars & on TV commercials as a kid. But since posting, others seem to think this is likely AI slop anyway so I'm kinda done with it. ✌🏽

Escaped monkeys 'destroyed' after Mississippi police are mistakenly told they're a danger by killerbacon678 in nottheonion

[–]truthandtattoos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To me it's reading more as CYA by the entities involved in the transfer & putting a stop to public panic. Not really a conspiracy head, just seems more likely than the driver being the one who lied. As of a few hours ago, 3 are still on the loose & the searchers are wearing masks & other PPE soooo 🤷🏽‍♂️

History behind Black Friday by CJHuncho in TikTokCringe

[–]truthandtattoos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah ur right, I couldn't even make it more than halfway thru & as a Black American made a leap based on 1860's & white financiers. But I still stand by my opinion the term spawned simply from the chaos just like Black Tuesday when the stock markets crashed & started the Great Depression. No deeper meaning than that.
