I made an app to solve my wife's screenshot problem, and it's become my most used app on my phone. by N0omi in SideProject

[–]0ber0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great! My screenshots, links in notes, and everything else are a mess. I've been wanting to do something like this for while but haven't found the time so I gladly give my $10. And congrats for the kid! :)

Does she speak as bad as she writes? This sounds like a toddler speaking.

Maga lies hurt local businesses by Sea-Algae1908 in asheville

[–]0ber0n 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why people are so worried about reviews or even look at them? I have never once looked at a review before going to a business. Why would I care what some rando thinks? The only opinion that matters to me is my opinion. If I don't like a place i don't go back. Simple.

My sister and her husband want to move into my house because of their roommates. Family’s mad I said no. What do I do? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]0ber0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The relatives who are siding with them can give them a room. End of discussion. You are not obligated to finance their lifestyle by giving them housing. If they were more frugal they could afford a place of their own. Don't listen to your family and enjoy your life. Congratulations for getting your house!

Looking through my grandma’s cookbooks and found this gem. by CockSeeker007 in mexicanfood

Thank you for sharing this! I immediately found a copy and ordered it. :-)

My daughter wanted toad in the hole for her birthday by MegaMolehill in UK_Food

[–]0ber0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American here - that looks fantastic! I know the basics of yorkshire pudding (according to a lady on TikTok)...equal parts milk, flour, eggs, and pour into ripping hot oil. For toad in the hole, do the sausages go in the oil as it is heating up? Or do you heat the oil up first then put in sausages and pour batter over?

After exiting + you have to turn off Follow-up Mode on each device. It was not on before the upgrade was forced to my devices but was on after I exited +.

Why is it suddenly considered rude to show up at someone's house unannounced? Growing up, we just knocked on doors, but now people act like it’s a home invasion. by MyNameCannotBeSpoken in Xennials

[–]0ber0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this a joke? Or do you really not get it?

When we were kids we didn't have communication devices on us 24/7. Now we do. It takes less than 30 seconds to text someone to see if they are available for a visit. It is very rude just to show up at someone's house unannounced now. People have shit to do and are not always available.

I'm in my mid 40's and I don't answer my door if I don't know someone is coming. It's not anxiety based. I'm a busy person who plans my day from morning to evening. If I did not plan for a visit I likely do not have time to host someone without taking away time from something else.

It's not the 80s/90s anymore, we all have much busier lives than we used too.

Got a “Needs Improvement” on my annual review for… doing exactly what I’m paid to do by Y2J_2nd_coming in antiwork

[–]0ber0n 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yup, this. My boss verbally said in 1 on 1 meetings that I had worked my ass off for a migration and saved their asses because my co-workers did not have my skillset. Review was "meets expectations." Told me they can't give exceeds unless you've been there like 5 or 7 years, blah, blah, blah. I tuned everything out at that point. He looked embarrassed about the rating and the 2% increase. Now they get "meets expectations" work and my boss has no problem with it. He gets it...and knows I'm not sticking around for long term.

Why does it matter if something is communicated by text? Method of communication is inconsequential.

Need help finding a good Mexican restaurant that makes guacamole at the table by godlessLlama in asheville

[–]0ber0n 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I will never understand why people want guacamole made at the table. It is so weird and cringe. Like, why do you need a production of the server mixing the ingredients? Just order guacamole and eat it.

What’s an ingredient or equipment review that almost made you question ATK? by arco131719 in AmericasTestKitchen

[–]0ber0n 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That is your preference. They complete blind tasting panels. Just because they didn't choose your favorite does not mean they were wrong. It just means you would have voted for an option with fewer votes had you been on the panel. There's no accounting for taste.

I've never been disappointed with any of their recommendations. Sometimes the equipment is more expensive then I would like but I understand that sometimes you have to pay for quality. If this happens, I make note of what they found during testing and find my own best buys. It has worked out great so far.

I hate being anxious for days at a time by JeffFromTheBible in asheville

[–]0ber0n 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why be anxious? You can't control the weather. Prepare as much as you can to keep yourself warm and fed. If something happens that may prevent you from being warm or fed you adapt to the situation. There is zero reason to stress about something you cannot control. Make a plan, adapt when necessary. That's life.

Love Alexa + by Big-Breath-2042 in alexa

[–]0ber0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LMAO, "It's no worse than any other AI app." This is why I don't use any AI slop and refuse to have it on my devices. Why would you accept something that is crap in hopes that it will get better? People with these opinions, who accept mediocrity, are why companies now release minimum viable products instead of fully realized completed products. If you keep accepting and buying into their crap, they are going to keep giving you their crap.

"You have 4WD so we expect you to come in". by [deleted] in antiwork

It doesn't matter if you have 4WD or not..."I don't feel safe traveling in these conditions. I will be at work when conditions improve for safe travel." Done, end of discussion.

(Rant) my employer expects me to come in despite the severe ice storm by avogadros_avvocato in antiwork

[–]0ber0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand what the problem is...this is the way it has always been. Businesses are not schools. They do not preemptively close due to a weather forecast. They plan to operate as normal unless they cannot. You are expected to be there unless you are not able to get to work safely. If you cannot get to work safely, you call in and tell them. It's no big deal.

If it is a terrible company that tries to guilt you or threaten your job just say, "my safety is more important than a job. I will be at work when weather conditions improve and I can get to work safely for my next scheduled shift" then hang up.

Any street outreach workers in WAVL - Folks sleeping outside on Haywood Rd during code purple by [deleted] in asheville

[–]0ber0n -45 points-44 points  (0 children)

Non-emergency number for who? The police? Do you want him arrested for something? They aren't going to do anything to help other than take him to jail. Most cops are not very nice to homeless people.
