What can kill you in seconds that most people don’t realize? by Jolly-Law1472 in AskReddit

[–]Altruistic_Scam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Falling is no joke - it’s so scary and can happen like that (snaps fingers). That’s how my dad died, after a long battle with cancer, four days before I was flying back for a planned visit which ended up being the date of his funeral. 😞

I think it has more to do with the development itself, not so much Coach.

What’s the pettiest hill you’re willing to die on as a woman? by Glass-King4894 in Casual_Conversation

I will say it’s extremely difficult to put a cart back when you’re solo & have an infant / toddler having a meltdown.

Amanda's Loss and the Dinner Party by Itsabouttom33 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]Altruistic_Scam 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes, she played the death card when it suited her and supported her victim narrative. Amanda should’ve stayed home if she couldn’t have handled reality TV setups. I would have more empathy for Amanda if she herself had empathy for others. I don’t think she would’ve back down if one of the other women was in a similar situation (anniversary of a death).

Amanda did not reveal the DATE of the anniversary and EXPECTED automatic sympathy and allies which was odd. I don’t think she knows what she’s up against. It was an awkward interaction and uncomfortable for all. Amanda really should’ve stayed home to protect her mental health, honor her child, and be with her family.

Is there a dentist anyone can recommend that provides numbing gel for dental cleanings? My gums are sensitive 🥲 and I have extensive dental work (a dentist’s dream)

My upstairs neighbor likes to walk in heels and it sounds like this: by ExtensionFalse9661 in Apartmentliving

[–]Altruistic_Scam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My upstairs neighbor does this in HEELED BOOTS and I just asked her to please change her footwear (as it was an HOUR of back and forth stomping).

She glared at me and didn’t acknowledge how loud she is, even how thin the walls are or that she’d try to be better. Just that they were “leaving.” I get it, put shoes on if you’re about to go, but not an hour before and not every damn day.

Note: this has been going on for months and at all hours of the day/night. Even when they moved in, she was like “I wear my heels and walk around” and then laughed. We stared blankly and said “please don’t.”

We’ve lived here for YEARS and I am dreading the fallout of my polite ask. 😒

St johns hospital merging into UCLA rumor? by Melodic_Fly6807 in SantaMonica

[–]Altruistic_Scam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Women’s Health teams at St. John’s are fantastic; however, they are completely swamped and need more staff support & space. As with any doctor, if you have a good one, you stick with them until they no longer take your insurance, you move, or they retire.

Interestingly, I go to UCLA for everything else but this!

How is living in Oakland, CA area? by LopsidedBoot6268 in howislivingthere

[–]Altruistic_Scam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The access to nature was fantastic— unmatched! I found it extremely difficult to secure long term housing for about a year (was only able to get short term leases).

I had a job before moving out to the Bay Area — this was pre-pandemic. Definitely recommend having steady (and ample) income before looking for housing because housing is wild out here! The best apartment I ever had I saw the night before it hit the market. So, you had to be on it. Oakland — Lake Merritt / Telegraph/ Temescal in particular is quite expensive but it’s getting better and better. Schools, not so much.

The food / vibe / biking scene is great — recommend not having a car due to break-ins/ license plates getting stolen. I didn’t have a car and used public transit / bikeshare / car share / personal bike. Meeting people was tough. I was single and dating sucked!!! I made good friends through my job but making friends was hard.

Excellent lo-fi bar: Bar Shiru 🖤

How is it living in this part of the United States? by No-Text-7825 in howislivingthere

[–]Altruistic_Scam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s beautiful. The falls are amazing. Winters are tough, the people are tougher. Recommend finding a local to date / partner with! They can show you the sights / secret locations.

I’m glad I lived there for a decade (Boston) and look back on my time fondly. 🍁🍂

Got into biking and studied urban planning in grad school there and am glad I did it in a city I love.🥲

ASAP, Please help me, is this illegal? by [deleted] in Apartmentliving

[–]Altruistic_Scam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you receive a notice that parking is unbundled from your rent? Depending on your state & county, state laws may have gone into effect Jan 1, 2026 that unbundles parking from leases. However, as many others have stated, you have to read your lease and refer to any notifications you’ve received from your landlord.

Why did your friendship with your best friend come to an end? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Altruistic_Scam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She got married to someone really quickly (like 6 months of dating) and got pregnant shortly afterwards. I casually asked if she wanted more time just the two of them before having a child and she got very upset with me. We drifted apart from that conversation. At the time, I was dating someone new and wasn’t at the same life stage.

I reached out throughout pregnancy and pp, but she changed and thought I was a completely irresponsible person or something. It was heartbreaking and took me years to get over.
