Support Payment Puns

https://twitter.com/joshgnosis/status/1478894707946110981

Full disclosure: I haven’t consulted an attorney because I’m not going to do it. Even though my BF wants me to.

My ex Husband is a good man, he makes a lot more money now than he did then. And he still made a lot then. I initiated the divorce because I just felt like we had grown into different people. And I wanted to be my own person or see what that person would be if that makes sense. Because I was his other half, or an extension of him in every sense of the phrase. He had the dream, and I had the vision. I spent my days making his life as easy as I possibly could. I honestly didn’t mind it, or resent him or anything like that. I loved him, I just wanted to live a life of my own. He understood. And I didn’t want to take to much from him. Our split was amicable and a bit unique because it didn’t involve to many lawyers. Just an alimony ruling, and a personal agreement between the 2 of us. He paid my rent, and paid to put me through school. Before we said our goodbyes.

I currently receive 5100 a month. Which I think is much more than I deserve since I’m the one who wanted to leave him. But my BF (who isn’t my husband because he doesn’t want to lose the alimony payments but that’s another story) wants me to try and get more, now that my ex’s business is doing so much better. And that we could be in a bit of financial trouble. Since he recently lost his job.

But I don’t feel right about doing it. Especially since I know he still cares about me, and would more than likely willingly offer his assistance. He’s a flawed, but good hearted person, and he doesn’t deserve to be taken advantage of so that my bf can live a nicer life. He was pretty upset after I told him that I wasn’t gonna be taking him to court or asking him for help (because he’d give it).

For a while now, whenever I ask my daughter about what she "wants to be when she grows up" she says she wants to be a mother...just like her mother.

A few times I explained that motherhood is a virtuous goal...but that she could be a mother and have some sort of career at the same time. She'd point out that her mother doesn't work outside of the home...and we'd just leave it at that.

But one day we were watching a show that featured a marine biologist, and she started asking about the profession...how people become one, and what kind of work they do. I explained it as best I could and suggested we look it up if she wants to learn more.

But then she said it didn't matter...because she had already decided that she was going to "be a mom".

I asked her if she understood that being a mother doesn't earn money...it costs money. A lot of money. And suggested that a job like marine biologist would afford her the kind of income required to raise children. She brought up the fact that her mother's only job was being her mother, and asked how she has the money to pay for things.

So I told her. I said "Daddy gives part of what I earn to your mother. That's how mommy pays for her house and food and your clothes and toys for you and everything else that you need. When we were together...we shared that money...and now that we aren't married anymore...we still sort of do."

She seemed satisfied with that explanation and that was pretty much the end of the conversation.

Flash forward a few weeks...and I get a series of extremely angy emails from my ex wife, who just had our daughter mention that Daddy pays for things. I don't know exactly in what context the comment was made...only that her mother feels I'm somehow purposefully sabotaging my daughter's impression of her...and that I had no right to tell her about "adult things" and that she's entitled to every penny she gets from me, and that I shouldn't be "using it against" her.

So...AITA for being straight up with my kid about my obligations with respect to my ex's finances...and that money has to come from somewhere?

Just a vent,

I have been contemplating separating and filing for divorce from my WS. It appears here in Ontario CA that as the husband and father you receive the short end of the stick.

Wife lied about LITERALLY everything. From her family life growing up to our entire relationship. Got into some legal trouble for driving with a suspended license driving my car and hitting a pedestrian. Had a year long affair both emotionally and physically.

Talking to some law firms here the best case scenario is we have 50/50 custody and I pay her between $800-$1000 in support, based on our incomes 25k ( hers) 100k+30k in perks(mine). She wouldn’t be able to afford to live on her own here and would likely have to move 3 hours back to her home town.

So I lose my kid, wife and pay a hefty support payment to her for her own actions. And to top that we have only been married for 2.5 years.

Guess I should have been more suspicious and saw the red flags beforehand.

Update: just received my payment today 01/21/22

I attempted to pay off my crypto loan balance of ~$10K last week. When I pressed the button I received an error message saying it did not go through and that I should try again later. I wait 30 minutes and submit another request to pay off my loan balance.

When I checked my bank statement that day, it shows that there are TWO ~$10K payments that are being processed, when there should only be one. I contact Coinbase support immediately to notify them so that they do not process both payments, only one. Automated response, but no follow through from Coinbase.

Both payments end up clearing (total of ~$20K) from my account. I notify Coinbase support again and request a refund of one of the payments. No response.

My bank recognizes that there is a duplicate charge and attempts to resolve ONE of the payments.

My coinbase account now shows: "Your ability to trade and transact is disabled. Your recent purchase of digital assets has failed. As a result, the ability to trade and transact is disabled. In 5 days, we will proactively initiate an automatic recovery." " Until resolved, your ability to trade and transact is disabled. After 5 days, we will automatically sell cryptocurrency in your account to collect any outstanding payments."

Coinbase is now telling me that they will sell my crypto in order to pay off outstanding payments when I shouldn't have any outstanding payments left. I have emailed Coinbase support again and have received no response.

This is incredibly frustrating and now I am at risk of losing my crypto for an error where Coinbase withdrew double the amount that they should have. I am extremely disappointed in Coinbase and Coinbase support. Please help me resolve.

Case#08879692

I’m just now finally watching season 9, and I have a few thoughts.

In episode 6, Lala says “he displays something horrific and tries to put a bow on it. Some people only see the pretty bow. I don’t see the bow.”

Call me crazy, but I don’t think Brock is putting a “pretty bow” on anything. He clearly discussed all of his problems with Scheana early on in their relationship, because she knew about both the child support payment issues and the domestic violence charges. As far as we can see, he’s taken accountability for everything. He admitted fully to Lisa and the entire rest of the crew that he made mistakes. He was full on sobbing at Schwartz’s in front of all of the guys, explaining to them as well what happened. He even confided IN Lala about these issues so that she might better understand the situation.

To be crystal clear: I do not support or condone ANY of Brock’s previous actions, both skipping out on child support and any sort of domestic violence. I don’t know him well enough to speak on his character otherwise, so I’m just purely talking about the “pretty bow” comment.

My whole point is that I don’t see him trying to put a “pretty bow” on anything. A “pretty bow” would be him trying to cover up his actions, getting caught in lies, backtracking, or even coming up with excuses or attempts at justifications for his actions.

I just contacted Teepublic support and they reply my email with this:

>Hi there,

>We were alerted by our finance team on the 15th that there was an error with payments processing. Unfortunately, this means we had to re-process which takes an estimated 3-5 days. We're really hoping that payments land in artists' accounts today, but it could also take a day or 2 longer than that. Apologies for the inconvenience, as we know the January payout of December earnings is eagerly awaited by artists. If you haven't received it by Wednesday the 19th, please reach back out and we'll look into it for you.

My gf and I are in the midst of breaking up (non-married) and we have a 5 month old daughter. For personal and mental health reasons I won’t be able to see her but I do want to support her from behind the scenes via child support payments. I plan to pay my girlfriend $800 a month for child support. I make $4000 a month in gross income and in my state child support for 1 child is 17% of gross income ($680 in my case). So I’m thinking $800 a month would be generous. My question is, can I just leave and then start paying child support without going to court or do I need to go to court in order to make my $800 payments legitimate in the eyes of the law? Also I plan to keep my daughter on my health insurance which I pay $320 a month for on top of the $800. So I’m thinking the total amount a month I’ll be paying in child support would be $1120 for 1 child (if health insurance count as child support that is) Lastly, even though my ex and I aren’t married I did sign a form establishing paternity for my daughter.

What the fuck

i was successful with the application for the test isolation payment of $450. a day later my dad tested positive to a test. upon a pcr test i tested positive. i then applied for the $750 for isolating because of actually having covid. i dont have a drivers licence so i called centrelink to get a CRN so i could apply for the payment. the person on the phone said because it was the same isolation period i was not eligible for the payment for missing work.

what kind of fucking logic is that? if i isolated upon the completion of a test and it came back negative and i missed work because of it, i was entitled to a payment. but now, because i actually have covid and cant work for an entire week because its the same isolation period i cant get shit? i know a handout's a handout and im sounding greedy but missing an entire paycheck because im following all the rules and getting fucked out of payment because i isolated too often is just bullshit.

Any insights would be great :)

The scenario: two people have a one night stand. The condom rips. Both eventually realize a pregnancy has happened. They live in a state that is the opposite of Texas (shots) but the woman wants to keep the pregnancy. The man says he doesn't want to be a father nor is he financially well off.

So my ex and I have been split since my son was born. We had kind of an ugly break up. I didn’t see my son for months and were only unified once we had a custody agreement in order, because she said she was afraid of me because I would yell at her while holding our son. It was complete bullshit. I immediately filed for custody and child support the whole time she had the baby. I ended up getting my son 1 weekend a month and once a week a few hours. It works out, because I have a busy life. I didn’t want to help financially support her. If she has the baby full time, she should be able to take care of him financially and if she can’t, I’ll gladly take him off her hands. I ended up compromising and gave her $500 a month. After an argument with her, I stopped paying her and she filed for child support. I told her I wasn’t giving her a dime til the order was in place. They sent me a letter saying I’d be paying her 1,200 a month and I obviously contested this. The hearing was taking a while to come and I negotiated with her, because the closer it got the more I feared they’d take it all. I now give her 875 a month.

The problem is that now I’ve gotten a letter saying I owe $3500 in back pay! While I wasn’t paying her for a while, I did in fact send her the $300 a month for the child tax credit. So there’s no way they can say I owe that entire amount. I asked her to please say that I’ve been paying her this whole time and she said she’d look into it. Well today they garnished $1000 from my check. I want to sue her for hiding payments, but she’s not in the best spot financially. WIBTA if I did, because I don’t understand why this is happening.

You know that moment when you arrive at the point of sale in a store, the clerk has scanned the articles of choice and calls the total amount due. When you don’t carry cash money on you, it typically is the moment you grab your debit or credit card.

But what if you from today on would start asking for a Bitcoin payment option. Just to make the merchant aware of this possibility. Or more general, ask for a crypto payment option.

I make this my new years resolution and I think if everyone on this sub would do this, it would help improve the adoption of crypto currency around the world.

When i try buying transferable coins every single payment option is being rejected immediately, no processing, no redirecting me to another side, nothing. Just instantly rejected. Asked support about this and apparently payments in tibia is a lot like pokemon, it's like trying to catch a mewtwo with a regular pokeball.

This is the worthless response i received:

To increase the chances that your next payment will pass all security checks, please follow these hints:

• Wait a few days before you place a fresh order. The more often payments are rejected in a short period of time, the more likely the next attempt will also fail.

• Level up your character. If you have a character with a higher level on the account, you have a better *chance* to make a successful payment. Also note that you cannot purchase transferable Tibia Coins if you have not at least got one character at level 8 or higher.

• The *chances* to buy transferable Tibia Coins via credit/debit card and PayPal are smaller. If you aren't able to purchase instantly transferable Tibia Coins, please try a different payment method.

• Consider buying non-transferable Tibia Coins.

I have never, ever had an issue like this in any game. Oh well, guess i'll just have to wait and hope that my "Chances" of making a successful payment increases, lmao.

My kid is 10, I have 100% care and we go through the federal child support system where he is required to pay $80per month. I've tried to create some relationship between my son and his father for the last 5 years but have encountered the following issues:

• he went to another state and dropped out of our son's life for 1.5 years (no messages etc)
• he refuses to pickup and/or drop off our kid back to me after visits
• he constantly changes plans last minute to suit himself
• previously, he refused to pay using a private arrangement for a good few months (the amount was less than what would be owed in the federal system)
• He has talked crap to our son about me and my partner via iMessage (which we caught and messaged him back about)
• he has his own company and dodgies his taxes to reduce his owed child support amount, which is only AUD$20 a week anyway (he proved this when sending a screenshot of a child support transaction while making a payment to us from a "business account" listed as "building materials")
• we had reached out a week before father's day to organise a day between my son/his dad, the day before he sends a message saying he wants nothing to do as a father and he's out of our son's life moving forward

He has racked up almost a grand worth of money owed to his son because he consistently rejects the child support payments of $80 per month. He changed his tune recently and wanted to see our son and I said "not until you make some form of payment towards child support"

AITA?

Nouz Associates, international 3d - marketing - design companie will now support the development of the coin. Soon post on nouz_associates on instagram.

This is amazingly unprofessional. Never have I ever dealt with a company with such poor customer service, let alone a financial business! I cannot believe this is what I have to do to get some SERIOUS assistance. Made a deposit onto my CoinBasePro account last week for $10,000. I check my CoinBasePro Account and there is $20,000 in my portfolio. Was suspicious and only spent $10,000 of the originally intended deposit. Later on, I check my bank accounts and long behold there are TWO payments for $10,000. Only had sufficient funds for a single $10,000 deposit. The duplicate second $10,000 charge inevitably gets reversed thanks to backdraft fee protection. Since then CoinBase has automatically recovered the extra $10,000 funds sitting in my CoinBasePro Account yet still restricts my ability to withdrawal any of the first $10,000 of crypto I purchased. YES this was on CoinBasePro. Already made a support ticket with no luck. Case #08975733.

This is incredibly infuriating as now CoinBase is holding MY MONEY hostage ILLEGALLY.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS! CoinBase Support is worthless. Canceling account tonight. Pulling back all funds. Going to call my bank because they ACTUALLY know how to run fucking business.

I had a 5 ride streak for $35. On the 4th ride, I picked up the passenger, drove them to their destination and right as we were pulling in, they canceled from their phone. I received $0 for the trip and my streak bonus was ended. I contacted support and they are refusing to pay me for either the trip or the streak bonus.

A passenger could book a 100 mile trip, cancel half a block from the destination, and you would get paid nothing for it.
