Maybe I misunderstood, this is not a workplace issue where you have no control over the proximity to people that constantly require validation? People you choose to be around will have their own liberties, by all means, share your life in a way that isn't toxic, with people who aren't toxic. Duh? Are you 12 and still enslaved to family culture? Small Town mentality types blocking you into a defensive corner about your value to a small portion of the world population? Sorry if I misunderstood.

I don't understand how these people can do it constantly if they should go fuck themselves right after their first attempt.

There is no way to verify that he received the contents.

Can you wire the money? Then you can prove that the money was sent to his account

I’d love to see more useful responses.

Just saying “cut them for your life” or “ignore them” or “<insert snide comment>” might work for some situations but I’d love a potential strategy for people such as work teammates, carpool buddies, relatives… for whom it’d be great to maintain/develop an actual productive relationship

1. Shocking therapy. If you do makeup, go out once completely without it. In most cases, you would see that people's reaction to you won't change. Because they don't care.

2. Get a notebook and fill it with jokes about your acne. Don't mind if they're bad, you don't have to share them.

3. If you don't actively work on treating it, start doing this. Knowing that you're trying will help you

Cut them out of your life. Those types of people only care about themselves

This isn't someone trying "more" to be your friend". Dunno how you possibly spun that out of it.

This is someone that's either insecure, hyper-competitive, or a narcissist, and they think they have to beat you rather than support you.

Friends congratulate each other on their successes. Sure there might be some joshing or occasional trash-talking involved, but at their heart, if they're not toxic, they're HAPPY for you. They're not trying to outclass you unless they have problems of their own.

Is there a way to tell the phone to do a full battery discharge and recharge cycle at 1C?

Neither have I, but I also haven't noticed my phone charging any slower than normal. I'm just sharing information from the source.

Ah. I'd probably take a video of it being enveloped and placed in the mail if it were me then. Good luck!

Or, if you did ten years in Leavenworth, they'll say they did eleven years in Twelveworth.

Good.

That's still the tricky bit, I think. I need it to be certified that he has received money, not just an envelope... an envelope could have contained anything or nothing.

I need it to be impossible for him to claim that we haven't sent the money or that it wasn't received.

A technically correct answer would be - blockchain / cryptocurrency. It is a traceable ledger of transactions.

But easier / more practical / more stable is to do a bank transfer to his bank account.

Hydrogen peroxide is great at dissolving earwax off of any metal grills that aren't removable. Dip the grill in (but no more) for a few minutes, wipe with paper towel, and let dry.

Now if someone knows how to make my faux-suede over-ear headphone pads less stinky, I'm all ears.

Thanks for the concern there, but yes, this has been a large conversation including all involved parties.

Is there a video you can link to which shows this? In text it’s difficult to understand

It's not that I'm afraid it will be stolen.

It's that I'm afraid he'll throw it away and declare we've been delinquent in paying our rent. So that he use that as justification to initiate eviction proceedings.

The delivery is certified. Like, you know it's been received. You could use a check and when it's deposited or cashed, you'll know. Make a photo copy of the check and the bank will also keep a copy of the check.

OxyClean Max Force gel stick. This gets literally every stain, including grease, out of clothes for me.

Oddly enough I’ve had yet to get that notification. In fact it seems my notification settings got messed up since the update.

I have had success with Dawn Platinum Erasing Dish Foam. It may take a few washes but tends to work. This stuff even seems to work after it's been through the dryer. Use as little as possible and add a couple rinse cycles as it may leave some foam.
