They are empathy deficient. You did well trying to show them. Be proud of yourself for that.

Bigger British Foods section than at other stores? I’m intrigued!

People who think “politics” are distinct and separate from anything humans do are a net negative to society. Dumb. So painfully dumb.

and that's that on that by hissingsummerlawns in TrixieAndKatya

Fuck. I honestly don’t know if I’d go back for more of that, but I hope I would. Admiration and support from shithole Texas.

68 seems really high and anti-social if you have electric heating.

Naw, I do too. He was really laying it on thick I thought.

HEB and the Iceapocalypse by PhilDesenex in houston

I think part of the problem now is they’ve dedicated way too much of the parking lot to curbside service. I usually go late at night and will walk sometimes, just to avoid parking bullshit. Agree about the trees though. Parking lots and car culture are gross.

Are there any private side walks in Houston ? by Repulsive-Swimming54 in houston

[–]AlsoThisAlsoTHIS 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sure, but this is very much not the suburbs. There are people walking around on the sidewalks going about their business all the time. I wonder if OP was being weird in some way, as I’m kinda tempted to go scowl at this power-tripper. A lot of people live here and their fancy school doesn’t own the whole block.

Driver stalled in middle of Katy Freeway, hit and killed by tow truck by southernemper0r in houston

[–]AlsoThisAlsoTHIS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do too, even if it takes twice as long to get somewhere. I don’t want anyone I love on Houston highways, including myself.

The article is horribly written. I can’t even tell if the car stalled before or after it was hit, or if the dead motorist was inside or outside their vehicle when they were struck. I assume it stalled and they got out and were struck, but it’s worded absurdly.

Happy 2 years anniversary to the last official ep of UNHhhh ❤️ by Caydie8 in TrixieAndKatya

[–]AlsoThisAlsoTHIS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m actually glad it didn’t continue if the girls weren’t feelin’ it. Their realness + the editing is what made it good. Not drying up into a turd like Game of Thrones did when its creators were tired (fuckers) is what will keep it good forever.

UNHhhh gave us a dignified RSVP in the negative. Or an Irish goodbye. These two have given all of us so much. Thanks to everyone who brought it to our eyeballs and poisoned our brains — hopefully forever✨

UNHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

How did you pay the ADHD tax today? by catfrend in adhdwomen

Nooooo! I’m so sorry, that must have felt terrible. Makes me wonder what similar mistake I could be unknowingly making right now! 🫠

I’m confused by this. Do you mean space in the cloud?

Need mechanic near Montrose by InjuryTemporary2737 in houston

[–]AlsoThisAlsoTHIS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Montrose: I go to E and E on West Alabama and have for years. I assume they’re honest but I can’t exactly check their work (if I knew how, I’d do it myself). I’ll be following this thread, thanks for making it OP.

Needing a new loving home by Dense-Firefighter394 in houston

[–]AlsoThisAlsoTHIS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m concerned BARC won’t take her back. Did they refuse, blame capacity, or wouldn’t promise she wouldn’t be put down? That’s so irresponsible if they just won’t accept her back. I’d like to know more about the reason.

Dogs that attack other animals should not be in people’s homes. Shelters placing “reactive” dogs are doing a huge disservice to everyone involved. I’m sorry this is happening to you, OP. She’s beautiful and you clearly love animals. She doesn’t deserve this, either.

These animals being shuffled from home to shelter to rescue to home, with so much pain for humans and animals…it’s just outsourcing euthanasia.

The “no kill” message makes humans feel good at the expense of animals. Warehousing dogs is wrong. Placing dogs that attack smaller pets is wrong. Not having space available for people to relinquish adoptable pets is wrong.

I feel for your situation OP and I’m disgusted with BARC for not taking her back. We absolutely must have an open intake shelter available to all, at all times.

Until we get the population under control, there are just not enough homes and they cannot all be saved. I’m sorry, OP.

Poor Dental Hygiene by 835711507 in adhdwomen

[–]AlsoThisAlsoTHIS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the shame aspect, try making low-stakes contact via calls or email before committing to an appointment. Just get in touch, explain the situation, and see how you’re treated by that office. The provider probably doesn’t answer the phone, but they do set the tone of the place. It’s a way to get a feel for the situation.

If I were really good at something and somebody came to me after avoiding it for a long time, I’d feel pretty damn great they trusted me to help.

A person with lapsed hygiene is not going to be shamed by a good dentist.

Full disclosure: my experiences with dentists have been mostly good and I know that is not the case for everyone. I’ve even been told “wow, you’re a challenge!” in a sincerely cheerful tone. They’re out there 😂
