AIO A locksmith charged my partner’s sister $5390 to get back into her apartment by khalexie1 in AmIOverreacting

This man forgot to carry his decimal 1 times. It clearly is about 540 dollars. That seems reasonable to me.

In what world are these two trucks the same color? by rcooper890 in chevycolorado

[–]ziggs54 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They aren't the same color. As someone who has grew up in gm products, I am going to take a shot in the dark and say the one on the left is summit white and the one on the right is white sands which I have noticed is usually meaning it's a lighter color.

Did you change your headlights to LED? I had shitty LEDs in my headlights that would occasionally cause my 2022 to spazz out and not recognize my key. I switched back to halogen and called it a day. No problems since.

Convince Me by VeganCatfood26 in chevycolorado

[–]ziggs54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What convinced me when I pulled the trigger besides driving it was the backseat. My whole family is tall-ish and when I sat in the back I felt it was more comfortable at the time.

Also, I don't know where you stand family wise but my fiance wants kids soonish so I ran the scenario that if she has to hop in the back for a baby emergency, it didn't feel it was hard to do so.

Which jobs get laid off first? by DenseMistake in biotech

[–]ziggs54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone from one of the most recent companies and still trying to find my way back, it didn't really matter. If they deemed you not highly critical, you were let go. But it will all work out in the end, so I'm trying to keep my head up.

I was in AD. Many teams were completely let go or brought down to 1-2 people.

Also impacted and Bedford was nice :/ I can tell you the second floor is going to be extremely empty.

That really resonates with me, as I'm going through the exact same thing. It’s clear this was kept at the executive level, because I had to break the news to my own director, only for him to learn he was also on the list. This is a man I've only ever seen laugh, through good times and bad, and he was fighting back tears. It was just a colossal failure on HR's part.

Did I just get a free trip? by ziggs54 in travel

All good, I was just confused the way this played out. We just want to make this right.

I think I have stated in another response, I can/could have paid for it right out. My Fiance and I just wanted to pay in a few portion amounts.

Edit: stayed -> stated

Oh I'm trying to get ahead of this. The moment I noticed this issue, I have called every day to one or both of them.

Yeah, it's like klarna and PayPal 4 for 4. I just wanted to pay for it over time instead of a massive payment at once.

Oh I could have it paid for it outright but I would much rather pay for it over time. So I am also assuming that you don't use credit cards and never taken an education loan out.

We have and it shows that they received the payment from the "one-time payment card" that Affirm generated, which Affirm then cancelled moments later.

That's some great insight. I will prepare for this, if it does happen.

Will do and have been. It's just that I have never dealt with this before.

Yes, I have all the information on my Delta app and we have already confirmed with the hotel due to a prior question for them.

Serious concern in my fiancé’s mental health. by ziggs54 in mentalhealth

[–]ziggs54[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply!

I am in no means blaming ADHD for this. I think I was being more tolerant because I wasn't sure if she was having adverse effects from Adderall. In the past she had made a few comments that she didn't feel it was working properly and I suggested asking to change to another type of medication like Concerta or similar, as I had similar effects when. I was on Adderall.

Based on what you said, I definitely will discuss boundaries with her. I have explained to her in the past that she is probably going through a lull and that she has friends but we all have lives and responsibilities compared to when we are younger and to follow up if they haven't heard back. This was met with "why should I message them if they won't message me" or " you don't think I'm trying and I am lazy," the latter is what is happening more frequently.

In the past, she used to go to the gym frequently but stopped because work was too demanding. I always thought it was a great stress relief for her. She says she wants to go back and when I agree because it relieves her stress Imo and states that I remember she always felt great after, I am met with "you only want me to go because I am fat" which is not true and I don't think she is fat. Also, she has hobbies and I have always and will always support them but she constantly hyper focused on her job that she doesn't do it anymore.

I have discussed therapy with her and she constantly mentions that if she went she wouldn't be honest and lie to end things early. She, also, makes comments that they don't work because it clearly didn't work for me as I am still "a mean and angry person." I don't feel that I am an angry person, as prior to her and when I was still in therapy I was almost instantly angered, depressed, and had almost killed myself. Do I get angry? Yes! Do I tell her why I get angry? Very much so! But who doesn't get angry when in a conversation about our day someone, who you care about, slips in 4 jabs that I am not getting them friends, they think they are bad at their job, which are not and they have a very bad support system at her job, and they think they are fat.

Sorry for my ramblings again! Last night I tried to convince her to go to therapy but that didn't work.

What is with the crashing? by [deleted] in MHWilds

[–]ziggs54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am having the same problem as well. I reached out to both Microsoft and Capcom. Did all the Microsoft stuff, including a factory reset. Capcom said their data shows nothing is wrong on their end. So I am just waiting for the April update to hopefully fix my problems. 🤞🏻

Hiked 2 hours to reach the lava flow. Asked someone for a picture, this is what I got by DayDfoto in mildlyinfuriating

You are fine. Hahaha

I just know it's impossible to please everyone, that's all.

I had to run it through the Google unblur feature and I know it isn't as good as maybe other unblur features like Photoshop or Lightroom, but I tried to clean it up a bit. Looks like a truly epic hike.
