It is incredibly odd...isn't it? So many words saying very little.
To OP, I think it would help others to give you advice if you say exactly what sort of plans you had that didn't work out. Plans not working out come in all shapes and sizes, and advice for one thing doesn't necessarily apply to another.
If it's a relationship you seem to desire, then asking for more relationship focused advice may be more fruitful than vaguebooking and not getting much in the way of useful responses.
I mean...yes and no. A down payment for a single family home in today's market is many orders of magnitude more expensive than $20k. But I agree that weddings are too expensive. Just have a small party and use that money elsewhere.
Welcome to Lemmy! I think the downvoted are more because there are conversation focused communities as opposed to this one, but you'll find your footing!
And then you have some ridiculous retailers that don't allow you to hold a package for pickup anymore. What the hell happened to that? I feel like it used to be when I had a package that needed a signature I could just request for it to be held at the parcel service center for me to pick it up later.
But the last two times I had a package with a signature required, it wouldn't allow me to do that. The package was going to be returned to the sender for ridiculous reasons. One was an age restricted item which I can kind of get, but the other wasn't. Both times I had to beg and plead with the delivery company to hold the parcel even though it was not something they were supposed to do.
And people wonder why Amazon gets so much business. They don't make me take days off from work so I can hopefully receive a fucking package of the delivery person actually feels like ringing my doorbell.
Never again with packages requiring a signature for me. I don't work from home and my workplace is not in a location that can receive packages.
Jeez dude I hope your hand is still functional ok
I feel like I've heard that before. Something about it being concerning if the pain suddenly stops because it indicates that it ruptured. I'm not a doctor though, just something I heard so it might not be accurate.
How did you get your fingers chopped off??
I had some sort of bad migraine episode where I couldn't stop puking. Every time I threw up, the force of doing so would cause a wave of pain that was like someone hit me in the head with a baseball bat.
I didn't realize that I had turned it on on my prior phone. Welp, my phone absolutely died one day and would no longer power on. I was really sad about losing my photos and videos, but then when I got my new phone I was happy to find out that at some point I turned on photos cloud backups.
I've had automated systems just straight up hang up on me when I ask for a customer service representative instead of actually linking me to one. Because it says it "couldn't understand me".
Very bizarre! Never had that happen before!
I moved into a place with one very hazy window screen that is difficult to see through.
I have tried scrubbing it with a brush with soapy water and blasting it with the hose. But I cannot get rid of the hard material buildup. I even tried dipping a brush in CLR and scrubbing the screen.
When I Google how to clean a window screen, I just run across people telling me to do what I already tried. But I think the people touting these methods simply have screens with dirt in them.
This doesn't seem like simple dirt buildup. I enclosed a close up photo of what it looks like.
I bet if I poked all of the holes individually with a toothpick I could clean it, but that would take eons. Any advice? Thanks.
Sorry for the quick post and then delete. Uploading through Jerboa rotated the image for some reason!
Generally I do agree with that statement. But I think this can be taken in a lighthearted manner. Not every joke needs to be so PC to the point where you're afraid to say anything and all humor is lost. Humor is subjective tho so I think it's fair to not like the joke.
