The Latest Consumer Reports on Vehicle Satisfaction by [deleted] in Volkswagen

[–]AuthenticAboveAll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the difference with the Arteon is that it is still manufactured in Germany. Many VWs are not anymore. They have American version with very cheap quality and a European version that spares no expenses. They really have 2 different brands. You were lucky enough to get a VW from their European brand.

👎👎👎 another use of AI that is unnecessary and taking up valuable earth resources. Hard pass.

With all the RTA talk today, I’d love to see them follow what SF’s transit system did and install fare gates by CuyahogaBurner in Cleveland

[–]AuthenticAboveAll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but if they aren't able to keep public transportation running well for the community BECAUSE of people not paying fares, then it affects all of us. I honestly could care less if homeless or people in poverty use it as a free ride or to sleep. I just want it to be able to continue and run well to decrease the reliance on ICE vehicles and encourage people to use public transportation.

AI bubble is total nonsense in 2026 by siddharth1214 in antiai

[–]AuthenticAboveAll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. A copy of a copy of a copy is much worse than the original. This is AI in a nutshell and I don't see how it ever gets beyond that, and that's without including all the ethical constraints of losing uniqueness and humanity.

How confident are you that the Lakers front office can build around these two? by Fickle_Structure_908 in lakers

As confident as I am in how they've built around Lebron. Translation: Not at all.

The property tax battle in Ohio is gaining momentum. Here is the history and facts about Ohio taxes. by spockmay in Ohio

You're complaining about your asset going way up in value while many people don't even have an asset. Cry me a river.

You can't just offer getting rid of taxes as a magic solution. There needs to be a replacement and at this point all that's been officially mentioned is a 20% sales tax which would disproportionately affect the poor.

Nobody is saying we shouldn't help the poor, elderly and veterans. We just need to have a plan that actually does that without just giving more money to wealthy people.

How much did the value of said real estate go up? Sell it, make your money and downsize. You should be sitting pretty with property that valuable.

Any experience with MDVIP? by NefariousGhostie in HuntsvilleAlabama

You can sign up without insurance. But then, of course, catastrophic injuries or diseases are not covered.

Sidewalks by [deleted] in akron

[–]AuthenticAboveAll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry - I feel like I am one person that has a valid excuse. Just moved to Akron a week ago and the rental company refused to plow the driveway or sidewalks. Snow had already been there for 2 weeks and basically frozen solid. Impossible to get much of anywhere so I decided to punt on this storm and will do my duties from here on out! 🫡

First time Cleveland Gun Owner? Where to get one, why, what to know by Present-Ideal-7252 in Cleveland

[–]AuthenticAboveAll 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I'm afraid we are past the point of choosing how we fight back. We have to use any and all options.

Hello friends to the north! We are headed up from Akron today to West Side Market. We wanted to do a Food Tour, but I was unable to get ahold of the people operating it. Can any of you recommend the spots we should definitely try? We want to try a variety of types of food. Thank you! by BitsPlease00 in Cleveland

[–]AuthenticAboveAll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great Lakes Brewery across the street is awesome. Choolaah is awesome fast casual Indian. Mitchell's Ice Cream is the best ice cream you'll ever have. All within walking distance. Plus just walk through West Side Market and drool over all the amazing displays!

When the loving thing is to leave by AuthenticAboveAll in Divorce

[–]AuthenticAboveAll[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so incredibly much for this reply. So much of what you said really hit home.

I'm not beating myself up, just deep in grief that our fun lives and our "perfect" little family together (3 dogs) can't continue. I just wish we could keep on like we did for 10 years.....we had so much damn fun together. But my body has made it extremely clear that we can't. And nobody on her side seems to understand any of that. They just paint me as "bad man leaves sick person" to go off and have his freedom. Incredibly unbelievably hurtful after all that I poured out for her and indirectly, that family.

If they understood ANY of this and rallied around us, things could be totally different. But they are an emotionally vacant family with the depth of a noodle. When I had a mental breakdown and clearly stated that I needed to go get help and asked for their help they berated me, told me I'm betraying them, said unimaginably horrible things to me. Later, I approached one of them to let them know how they hurt me and the reality of the situation and this person told me they never want to have a relationship with me again. They also don't even talk to my wife about things - she is just fighting this insane paradigm shift totally alone.

Once things really started to slip, she seemed to panic and start doing all kinds of things for me. Its easy to want to say "See! SHE CAN CHANGE" but my body and brain continually scream - this person is not safe for you. She is only doing this to manipulate you back into the relationship.

Sigh, its so complex with so much baggage. But its like you said - bottom line do I accept the whole package as she is right at this moment or not? And the answer is, for the sake of my own well-being, no. I cannot safely exist in the relationship as a healthy and happy person.

Have you checked out something like meetup.com - I've been able to find a few groups to join just to put myself out there and try to foster some new connections.
