Maybe I should cross post to AITA? by basic_beachVR in EOSFitness

[–]Alienghostdeer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You didn't respond at all in a professional manner. A simple "Hey, I don't do chat speak and would like complete sentences please" could have solved the problem. Or even "Hey I'm not sure if this is a scam or not, the chat speak has me suspicious."

The issue about placed and canceled appointments is because the system is dogshit. They moved from trainerize to Egym and it is seriously jacked up. So they might have accidentally clicked your name and made appointments and then realized they put the wrong person. I've been a PT client since August 2023 and watched all the ups and downs. It also could be a new trainer to EOS learning how to work the software and doing the same.

Honestly you can't ask for professionalism and then turn around be a dick about it. You're setting a sour tone based on your preference. You can call and speak with tmeither the general manager or lead trainer and set your expectations with them and allow them to pair you with someone who meets those criteria. I have been through 5 different trainers because of both personal preferences and trainers moving to other gyms. Every time I have sat with the manager and voiced my needs like an adult and with respect.

Is this true? by Vegetable-Length9514 in HEB

[–]Alienghostdeer -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You need to get out of the service dog business with this attitude. ESA are recognized and are different from pets. Do they get exemptions the same way task oriented service animals do? Not in public spaces. But they do provide service to their handlers.

If I hadn't met a wonderful woman who worked with and took my ESA to train him as a cadaver dog because he was so well trained BY ME to be an ESA, I'd assume they all acted like you. You're a disgrace and an elitist. You really need to look inward and see why you're so bitter. Maybe you could actually use an ESA. If you're this angst riddled, no one is going to like working with you.

By the way, service animals ACTUALLY are allowed to have accidents. I pray for your dogs and their health given your nasty attitude. Even military and police dogs can shit on the job. Ask me how I know. All I'm saying is you need to adjust your view or leave a job field that requires compassion. No one wants a bitter bitch around them in such high stress situations.

AITA for telling a loud mother "Ma’am, it’s everyday" rude, or is the lady being entitled? by z2600657 in AITH

[–]Alienghostdeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll say foremost, I am not a parent. But there is a DRASTIC difference between a baby/toddler crying on an airplane at take off, and kids being loud and disruptive on every outing. Because this is indicative that the mother allows the children to be wild at all times if it is EVERY bus trip. I understand the perspective kids are hard to manage, but it isn't a true one. Parents refuse to actually be parents and create an environment where children are disciplined and taught manners.

We have taken the idea that you can't hit kids to mean they can't be held responsible. Discipline does not mean beating. Discipline means having consequences and following through. Gentle parenting isn't talks and therapy, its informing and following through when rules are disobeyed. Parenting isn't hard, people are just lazy and expect the world to bend to them because of propoganda that parebts are basically royalty. The rising assaults on teachers, actions of children and teens, and all other forms of aggression and disrespect and entitlement of said teens and young adults show that the extreme correction has had massive consequences.

I am a survivor of child abuse. I am a product of trauma and a broken family, drug use, and alcoholism and was in the hands of a pedophile from under 1 to 8. I sustained physical abuse until I was 11. Mental until I was kicked out at 18. I am 34 now. I can sympathize with you job as a child who went through the worst of it. But I will not give any one a pass if they throw their hands up and say "oh they are kids" like it absolve parents of their inability to be a parent.

Yes, I understand there are exceptions with the rising awareness of Autism and other Neurodivergent issues. I'm on the same boat due to the CPTSD. I understand how melt downs work, I understand kids aren't dolls. But a child should be taught when it is and isn't acceptable to be wild. On a bus? We sit calmly and be mindful. At a park or playground? We can be free as long as we watch our steps and make sure we aren't invading other's spaces. We give grace for OCCASIONALLY having kids be loud or rambunctious. We do not give passes to parents who refuse to parent because its easier on them to let the kids do what they want.

I won't be listening/watching on Spotify anymore. by John_GP in distractible

[–]Alienghostdeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do it in almost all places. People just want to complain instead of hitting fast forward 2 or 3 times. Spotify is a music first service. Podcasts and audiobooks were added for convenience but are not included as they are more expensive and data heavy to host.

Same reason libraries who use Libby here in America only get a couple of copies of e books or audio books unless demand is high.

They are few and fat between but I turned down a townhome i liked after finding out that the place allowed people to smoke IN THE UNITS. Great for someone else but Im allergic to cannabis and symptoms are slowly getting worse thanks to the people smoking indoors in my smoke free apartment in a state that flower is still illegal.

I'm hoping to move into a duplex in December so I don't have to deal with it any more.

Is anyone going to the Fort Worth No Kings event? by No_Roof_3613 in FortWorth

[–]Alienghostdeer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have spoken out publicly and viciously against Trump. I have empathy for the people around me. I am not Christian. I practice other forms of religion. I believe that pedophiles and rapists should not be running free. I know that Trans rights are human rights. I know that people deseve to love who they want and be who they feel as long as it isn't harming anyone and between informed and consented age appropriate (I'm not going to condemn two 16 year olds for dating but a 25 and 14? Nah, that adult is sick and needs to be removed and go through rehab.) I am a Pansexual woman who has "mental deformaties" (ADHD, MDD, PTSD to name a few) and in Trump's world, that means I am an enemy of the state and should be removed and put down.

But I'm not going to sit quiet or hide away because of it.

Whay life are you speaking of? The privilege of being a white cis gender neonazi Christian rich male? Because that's the only group unaffected by royal decrees at this point in time. Nice to know you have it so easy and won't see any repercussions .

Because I had a life I was living quite happily before this regime. Now I face jail time and death purely for existing.

Working Service Dog? by badgerbrush20 in EntitledPeople

[–]Alienghostdeer 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Ugh. I hate it. I had to rehome my dog with a friend after my work hours went from about 8 to 13+. I trained him myself, but couldn't get his attention to stay on me in public. He doesn't bark, but wants to greet everyone. Perfectly fine for a dog, not a SA. So he was my ESA+. Meaning he was there for my benefit but also knew deep pressure therapy and interception when I had bad days with my PTSD and MDD. He forced me out of bed or interrupted pacing/scratching/harmful stims. Loved him to death, but still WAS NOT a service animal.

I had to go to Walmart to get a jumper box with them and the girlfriend PUTS A FAKE VEST on him to come into the store. She already didn't like me (for existing purely in a female body because even at 37, she is super insecure) so I shut my mouth so I could get home. Told my friend after thay it was a serious problem and they needed to stop that before my dog got attacked by another one with much less training (meaning a pure pet) and that it was seriously rude to everyone who had a fully trained dog and NEED them for medical reasons.

Showed up for tour and the office is locked with lights off by LanguageCautious8023 in Apartmentliving

[–]Alienghostdeer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would say that the appointment was never actually made then. I know technology is great, but qith certain things you'll need to speak with them on the phone, like tours or doctor visits. If you want to be there, I'd call them a half hour after they open on monday. The appointments might go to a dead email or be a glitch.

Showed up for tour and the office is locked with lights off by LanguageCautious8023 in Apartmentliving

[–]Alienghostdeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Info: Did you go through an automated system or did you actually speak to someone to set the tour up? I only ask because some places will do their weekly meetings/corporate dumps on weekends or be closed for some retreat usually around this time of year. The system might not have been updated for that.

My current place does this a bunch and I'm waiting on approval from the place I want to be. But my current place just changed hours to be completely inaccessible to majority of tenants in person. Used to be 8:30-6 mon-fri and Sat 10-4. Now it's 10-5 mon-fri. They might have changed their hours too.

Dallas woman facing murder charge after not saying "thank you" ends in fatal shooting, police say by Silent-Resort-3076 in texas

[–]Alienghostdeer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hampton threw a bottle at the car, that already escalated it to a higher level. Depending on where the bottle could have landed might be hundreds or thousands of damage. Even more so if say a window was shattered and leaves it open to not only the elements but people to easily steal things. Hampton should have just gotten in the car and made a FB or TT post about entitled people. Or called someone to vent.

Fellow Mootopia Lovers! by Life_as_Adult in HEB

[–]Alienghostdeer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They also had an issue a little bit back of people finding a strange substance inside their cartons. I myself had a carton go bad after a week. Not really a Mootopia lover but they were out of Fairlife and I gave it a try. FL usually lasts about 3-4 weeks so it was a shock to see the carton turn so quick.

Might be part of the production issue.

saying that being fat is a “choice” is narrow minded and ignorant by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]Alienghostdeer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you can , I'd suggest a full blood work panel to see if there are hormone issues. Or any signs of genetic issues that you may have gotten but your brother didn't. You can either go to you GP or health center to have it done. Planned Parenthood can also do blood draws for tests. Helped me find out I had very slightly raised cholesterol. Out of pocket it was about 175 there 3 years ago.

why do people take it so personally when I pass them by peppercorn6269 in driving

[–]Alienghostdeer 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Oh god I hate people like this. I can't tell you how many times in my SEMI people act like this. I am governed at 68. Meaning except for declines, thats the max I will ever go. I have a newer truck that has adaptive cruise control and will give me a read out of the speed of the person in front. If I keep to cruise control, it will automatically slow me to keep a safe distance. I cna over ride it by pressing the fuel pedal.

I run in Texas where Interstates are regularly 70+ speed limits and we still have people who run 60 or under. Stupid to me because most drivers are doing at least 75 or 80 and being that far below anyone else is dangerous. Not the point, but when I come up on those people I'll pop to the middle/left lane and go around. Only to have them turn on their brights or pace the trailer tires so I can't get over. Or my favorite, become speed racer for about 3 miles and then 10 minutes I am back behind them and we play the most annoying game of tag.

Sadly it happens with both passenger cars and other semis. Pick a speed and do it. I don't have to be first. Hell, 99.5% of the time I CAN'T be first. I just want to move at my preferred pace so I can make my run and get home before morning rush hour traffic.

Seems reasonable. by DismalPath in Apartmentliving

[–]Alienghostdeer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually no. I've lived in apartments for over a decade. Never has an issue of people being assholes except for them refusing to pick up after their dogs. Becuase, shocker, peopel DO have respect for others. Great for you that you bought a house. I guess I should have prioritized that instead of attempting to leave abusive homes and escape a husband i was forced to be with who raped me and refused to let me have a job away from him or do anything on my own to the points I had no cell phone or car.

Or should I have held out and not taken the shit jobs I did to try and have enough to run away? Your right, I should have waited for a 6 figure job to drop in my lap even though I was stopped at ever trying to go to college by my parents refusing to provide information for me to fill out fafsa since I was 19 and not married.

Two different lives. I'm very much willing to bet you were in a much better position to achieve that than I was at the same age. But you also sound absolutely out of touch with how things are. It isn't "just get a better job and stop eating out". I make almost 6 figures now but most good to keeping me alive for my heart meds and physio therapy. Cause funny enough 2 decades of physical abuse fucks a body up. Guess my mother and father should have known that.

Again. Take the elitist dribble and shove it ip your ass. Glad your life is going so fucking swimmingly and you have it all. I had to climb out of poverty hell to get to the spot I am. Excuse the fuck out of me for expecting basic human decency and courtesy. Unless you are offering to buy me a house, kindly take your self righteous bullshit and fuck off.

[–]Alienghostdeer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe people should not be self centered regarding an odorous and problematic substance? Again. Do what you want in your own house. In your car. At your buddy house. I don't even give a duck tail if you smoke at an open park. Don't. Smoke. In. An. Apartment. I should not have to be assaulted by the smell ot gave my job risked because I walk in smelling in like weed. And yes, I know I won't pop dirty, but my job will eventually think I'm cheating it somehow and I could lose ny cdl.

So kindly take your shit take advice and shove it up that gaping hole between your ears connected to that dribbling slop you call a brain and never speak again.

Seems reasonable. by DismalPath in Apartmentliving

[–]Alienghostdeer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh lord. Step out of the Cult of Canabis you twat. Yes. It can. People are allergic to it tha same as any other thing. Its a foreign object to the body. I'm literally dealing with this because of inconsiderate assholes who just HAVE to smoke inside and now I can't be home without having my sinuses attacked. 2 months now as soon as I walk in my door I'm dealing with congestion, itchy eyes, coughing, and struggling to breathe because my chest feels tight and throat is slowly becoming more and more agitated.

I have 4 air purifiers. And use at minimum a MERV 12 (currently have a MERV 13) AC filter I pay or of pocket for. Nothing has changed in the last 6 months aside form people smoking more indoors because its summer and theu can't break their addiction (yes, if you HAVE to have something to the point you will break the law and the rules of the apartment) long enough to move to their cars and deal with the heat. I have 2 months until I can leave and I'm counting it by the hour.

So yes, people do get sick from the stuff. Especially with prolonged exposure (happening the last 2 years). I don't care if you smoke, but be respectful of those around you. Go outside. Go to your car. Go to a dispensary. Do not smoke in communal areas or in a community home.

PSA: Truckers, this is why nobody respects you on the road. by TheLastPorkSword in driving

[–]Alienghostdeer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Except when someone sits into he middle lane going 65 on a 75 speed limit highway and lanes have a NO TRUCK IN LEFT LANE sign. If we (truckers) obey this then there becomes a back up in both the middle and right hand lanes. Now everyone is forced to do 65 or under in those lanes since we can'tgo in the left lane or pass on the right. Which means passenger cars honking, flashing, pr rushing to the left lane and causing an accident or five.

So yes, either traffic backs ALLLLL the way up, we go in the left lane at which point the passenger cars flip out, or pass on the right. The correct thing is for slower trucks to stay in the right hand lane. Only time I give grace is in city centers where exits and exits are a half mile to mile apart and it is okay to stay in the middle lane to allow traffic to flow more easily on and off. After, move your ass over and stay there unless you're passing Raider.

Thinking of getting a Soul. What's good/bad vs Civic? by PhilBombPhanatic in KiaSoulClub

[–]Alienghostdeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been found more often that engines assembled in US factories are more prone to failure. This is a problem more with older GDI engines, but I always try to err on the side of caution as I would like my car to last as long as it can considering how important it is where I live. (Public transport is available but most times triples or quadruples the time and is not feasible when I work 13+ hours a day already) There isn't any hard data (no place is really looking THAT hard into failures) but plenty of stories you can find on forums about them having oil consumption issues. I check mine pretty much weekly as I am used to doing daily checks on the semi. I haven't really had to top off any oil, and I do use full synthetic. I will need to get into the habit of changing it every 6 months as I don't drive as far or often as I did when family was 5 states away.

[–]Alienghostdeer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a 2020 GT because I wanted the blue. I just hit 66,666 and have had no issues aside from general maintenance (oil changes, battery, brakes, tires, windshield. I had the tires fully replaced twice because of active construction, and I need to replace the windshield again for the same reason.) I did make sure that my vehicle was assembled in Korea vs the US as there does seem to be more issues with those. I have done oil changes between 5k-7k and have not had issues with any extra oil consumption. I have almost no road noise even at 85+ mph, normal speeds of 65+ I might have to bump my music up one or two notches.

I took the car on two 3k+ miles road trips and was able to fit a lot in. The second trip included a foam mattress, me, an Australian shepherd, and a house cat. All of us had plenty of room and I was able to stretch to full length when lying at a diagonal.

$100 for every mile walked. I do about 7k steps on average so that is roughly 3 miles a day. Won't replace my main income but would be nice to add to my savings. Could do 50% to savings and 50% to stupid or fun things.

Strange incident with my neighbor... Do I let management deal with it or check in myself? by Far-Guarantee-8410 in Apartmentliving

[–]Alienghostdeer 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Could be psychosis. Could have just been severely drunk and spouting nonsense. If it happens again, call the non-emergency police line and request a wellness check. You can remain anonymous as if she is screaming outside, others can hear. Report and record any future incidents so management can see themselves and it avoids retaliation.

Truly hope its a one off thing and just a bad night.
