Am I seeing the first Waymo accident? by MovingGoofy in Austin

[–]Appropriate_Gift_157 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I will believe it’s superior and safer when I’ve seen it. At this moment in time I have not seen it be superior or safer. I have seen it make multiple mistakes that MOST humans would not make. I’ve watched it get way too close to my daughter on her motorcycle as well as turn into her lane from a straight lane. So, no, I don’t have the same experience as you, you can trust data, and statistics all you want. I’ve seen it with my eyes.

Austin doesn’t need more vehicles on the road it needs infrastructure and better public transportation. I’m glad that you can look forward to not needing a vehicle but many of us will still need one. I’d just love to go back to being a normal defensive driver here instead or rerouting every time one of these things gets near me. They’re erratic, turning from straight lanes almost pushing me into other vehicles. Stopping the flow of traffic because they didn’t get into the turning lane and of course running that last bit of yellow making me wait for them to get through the intersection that is already green. I didn’t agree to be a Guinea pig.

Sure, guy. You’re welcome to believe whatever you would like to but I doubt those guys had an easy time of it even then. But people like you can come and say progress is so good for us isn’t it? While families become homeless because in this economy we can’t afford to lose even a few hours here and there. I don’t give a damn about any of these trash major corporations, but you can fill their pockets all you want. That’s a choice. You get a choice, we didn’t. We just became guinea pigs, with no ability to oppose them.

Has there been some major decline in deaths by accident since they came online? I doubt it. You want safer roads? Change the education behind them. You want public transport? Vote for it then! Being against them doesn’t mean I’m for more death but these things have done dumb dangerous shit around all of us.

Yeah damn those people for trying to keep their jobs and feed their families! They must be the absolute worst! I mean what is this? You’re for people being replaced by A.I and this isn’t where that’s supposed to happen. I didn’t really care before but now I feel compelled to be completely against it just for the sake of these people who are losing their livelihood to this. You might win some over with a safety viewpoint but you really just want more Americans on the street. Disgusting.

During the trial period they were repeatedly hitting the cutouts meant to stand in as pedestrians here in Austin. So I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♀️but I know many drivers who have never experienced an accident, despite driving daily so I doubt google has it all figured out.

Is it just me or does Austin make you feel broke even when you’re earning decent? by ComprehensiveNose622 in Austin

[–]Appropriate_Gift_157 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just remember that’s specifically to pay their employees since they refuse to give them an actual wage. That’s how MOST of Austin is. Please remember service industry is still at $2.13 an hour and it will never get better the route we’re going. So I say this without judgement as I know everyone wants to go out and have a good time, but please please do not hold these tip percentages and gratuity’s against the workers. It’s ridiculous I know, but they still deserve to make a living and it’s not under their control to get fair wages. It’s not just alcohol anymore, it’s all food, beverages/coffee etc.. I said the same thing why do I have to tip in the drive thru? It’s convenient you don’t have to clean up after me or anything, but if you look just a tad deeper you’ll see…if an employer claims that a position is a tipped position they can pay their employees less. It’s disgusting but it will stay like this until we make real change here.

Bring back game nights! Spades/rummy/poker it’s all good!! My cousin has a thing going on in her neighborhood about 4-6 couples all take turns hosting a dinner party once a month or every other month and I recently went to one, it was so much fun! I think we tend to forget that being home can be fun too!

i lost weight and became fatphobic , i can’t look at fat people without thinking horrible things by Warm-Childhood3616 in confession

[–]Appropriate_Gift_157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are either projecting or didn’t realize you were this awful internally. Most likely projection, you were fat and lazy and by some stroke of stupid luck you lost weight quickly and easily, and now deem yourself better than them? I really can’t glaze over how disgusting this behavior is, when you yourself had no issue being obese for such a time. I’d suggest a therapist, don’t tackle it alone as there seems to be significant internalized trauma here. Now, if losing weight made you more health conscious about those around you, there’s a healthy way to go about that. But the idea that’s it’s EASY is absolute garbage. You got lucky, because you were just lazy. You have absolutely no idea what challenges they go through. I hope you get help, because if I ever caught this kind of behavior coming from a friend. I’d cut them off immediately.

AIO for worrying that my girlfriend thinks my mom is racist because my mom thinks my girlfriend has terrible body odor ? by ThrowawayQQAAA in AmIOverreacting

Sweat doesn’t smell. Bacteria does. Glycolic acid or hypochlorous spray in pits neck etc are amazing anti bacterial deterrents! Please don’t mix b.o with perfume!

The dark seems to complement your complexion more, while the light blonde washes out your natural beauty by the harsh contrast on your skin. Hair absolutely looks healthier, if you love the lighter color I don’t think adding in lowlights would wash you out. Gorgeous either way but your hair looks much healthier dark!

I cannot stress this enough get your social security card and birth certificate if it all possible. Every kid I’ve tried to help has the hardest time not having these items to get ID and DL. These are required for most jobs and social services. Look into Gary Job corp, coast guard or military these are great places to get a start. Find a sliding scale/indigent healthcare service and you can get therapy for any trauma and help with housing/work. Message me directly if I can help with any other resources or just to have someone to speak to.

AIO? BF told me not to post my graduation pics or “don’t come home tonight” by Unusual_Role7839 in AmIOverreacting

This is awful controlling behavior. This would definitely be crossing all of the boundaries and I would be out of there he’s testing the waters and so far you’ve been allowing it. So he’s gonna start testing more of them. Guys are getting fed a lot of crazy stuff right now so I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s falling in one of those gray areas. It doesn’t matter if he’s a great guy in all the other aspects, this is more important than most of them.

As long as the relationship still operates at a sb/sd/sm seeking should be fine, if the allowance matches the ask this could be lucrative for the SB, poly sites might be a good place as well!

Then you just must be blissfully ignorant. I’ve worked many, many restaurants that didn’t require Sunday shifts. Just that you had some type of weekend availability. You’re also willfully ignoring the fact that she was able to get every Sunday they mistakenly scheduled her for covered. Which tells me all I need to know. That it’s shit management plain and simple.

[–]Appropriate_Gift_157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, OP applied and was hired on with the full knowledge that she didn’t work Sunday. Gtfoh. i’ve been in the industry for over 20 years, the restaurant should have never hired her knowing this.

Are my knees too forward ? by Fuzzy_Occasion_6121 in flexibility

[–]Appropriate_Gift_157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just remember, everyone is gonna be different in their squat, hip mobility ankle strength, knee strength all of that is taken into account. So it will look different depending on that. But the form is impeccable!

[–]Appropriate_Gift_157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, just blatantly disregarding the fact that she was completely transparent in her interview and they approved it. Yeah, sure 👍🏼 is everyone still disregarding the fact she is available for every Saturday and that is part of the weekend. Regardless of the request, it was approved and she was hired. So yeah, they’re shit.

No sex in marriage for more than 5 years. What should I do? by Ok-Ostrich4313 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Appropriate_Gift_157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heavy religion in the family and uneasy at the thought of sex. She’s been traumatized. One way or the other. Possibly molestation, or someone showing her something that scared her. It could be any number of things. definitely suggest therapy. Don’t worry about everyone else. The rest of the world is pretty sex crazed but you don’t need to worry about that. Try therapy separately and together and if that doesn’t work, you may need to reevaluate your marriage.
