I find this the most frustrating part of federation. So many more communities to block when so many instances can have the same sorts of community

We've been together for 3 years. To give some context, I'm currently in extreme financial struggles that I realistically can't hold a relationship of this type anymore.

We live in different cities. 6-hrs drive apart. Basically she only likes me for money, and sadly I wouldn't have a problem with that if she reciprocated the giving and care back. It's not a sugar-daddy relationship and was never meant to be. We're the same age and supposed to care about each other in every way and not like this.
It sucks when someone only values you as an ATM and ignores every side of your personality and every other kind of support you can provide: Self improvement, self worth, self image and value, health care, emotional, future planning, respect, protection, and all the worrying and care which I give to her more than I do for myself. I emptied my bank account for her and she still wouldn't care for me because it's not enough. Constant gifts for her, her friends, her family, rent, hospital bills, all sort of bills, fancy restaurants, flight ticket and hotel bookings (for her only not both of us), resorts, medical therapy, ... I gave her everything she wished for that I could afford. I let her have the nice things while I still live poorly and have bad ones. All I asked for return is care and time of her day. I'm not talking every day, No; She wouldn't even see me for few hours every month. The last month was the breaking point for me, I spent over $10K on various things for her, and then we decided that I would come to sit with her and she replied with "I can only stay with for 3 hours, then I have to do other things and meet other people." So I asked her to choose a date when she is not very busy and can see me for few more hours at least, and she still wouldn't do that. So I said, "ok no hard feelings, but I'm canceling my trip and all the gifts I was going to bring with me. Maybe we can sort another day in the future." After that she got angry and cussed at me and said to never see, text or call her again in life.

From my perspective: I do not want to waste so many hours and money to see her for 3 hours. I feel bad about myself and I don't feel desired or cared about. I started to hate this shit of relationship we have where I constantly give my all and everything to someone who doesn't give back anything.

From her perspective: I'm not good enough and I don't care about her.

In the end, I tried my best and didn't mistreat her once. I really wish her the best but would not want to apologize and restart things with her again.

Thank you for the vent and please feel free to share your opinions. I will respect them and try to understand them regardless.

... it looks like ended up breaking my PC on the move somehow... I even went ahead and removed the GPU to prevent it from breaking but it looks like that's actually what ended up being broken 🙃 (I have 4 debug LEDs. When I turn it on it goes from CPU to DRAM to VGA and gets stuck there). I'll have to see if I can get it to work somehow after I get home later, but I'm afraid I was unlucky enough to actually have killed my GPU with static electricity. And of course it had to be the most expensive part....

I just went to go to bed and there was a god damn big ass cellar spider waiting for me above my pillow. Too rattled to sleep now.

Thanks eight legged motherfucker. Thank you from the bottom of my adrenal glands.

Dear god, this experience with them has been horrible.

I lent some money to a friend via it because they use it. I just wanted them to pay me back via PayPal. The friend forgot and sent the repayment via CashApp so I returned it as CashApp can't Cashout to any of the institutions I bank with. Instead of using my CashApp balance, it decided to charge my debit card for that transaction. No problem, I thought, this is something I've had happen elsewhere and is easily fixed with a phone call.

Checking in the app, they only have Chat listed. I tried the chat and it's either a damn Chat Bot, or their employees are stuck using stock replies and can't reply anything custom. I eventually found their phone number in their Terms of Service which the only option was a callback which took over 2 hours. Once I did get the callback it was very obviously someone overseas who did not understand the situation and was of no help. I ended up hanging up on them.

In the end, I've ended up sending them a "Pre-Filing Requirement to Attempt to Resolve Disputes" as required in their Terms of Service. Thankfully, I do shipping as part of my employment so this costed me nothing to ship a letter overnight with signature required. However, I'm sure I'll have to deal with a lot of bureaucracy now from their legal department's arbitration division.

Not once in my nearly 20 years of banking have I dealt with such a shitty financial company. With my credit union, while they can be a bit slow they've never given me issues trying to fix something. With PayPal, I've never had an overseas rep during a phone call and was able to get someone on the line during the same call (within business hours). Heck, even PNC was clunky to use, but it at least worked. CashApp obviously is doing the bare minimum and I hope they go out of business.

TLDR: Replicated a Reddit sub, banned from four communities.

I’m about to gooooooo off!!! So I love Reddit. I love it. I have adhd and depression, name a better candidate to love their dumpster fire. I’m also all for this blackout. But that means I’m losing my favorite sub, so I thought. So I got proactive and built it here on the Fediverse. Big mistake. I get it made and then reach out to the mods on Discord in private via a ticket because I’m not using Reddit right now. They got pissed and told me to take it down, well it’s the internet so no. I leave it at that and move on. Well fast forward a few hours and this power hungry mod banned me from the Discord, and then proceeds to permanently banned me not only from the sub I had replicated but two other subs not even part of it. Reddits response you ask? “Oh yes this is totally fine and they’re allowed to power trip.” I have screenshots of it all but I’ll provide the one so you can see I didn’t start it off wrong nor end it rude when I made my proposal. I’m so fucking pissed. Fuck Reddit.
