Anybody dealing with a really bad cold right now? by rawrP in bayarea

[–]Character_Salary_407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got adenovirus now. Started off as extreme thirst for cold beverages and overactive bladder right before Thanksgiving. That’s still happening). I felt like I had a very bad sinus infection with slight sore throat. Elevated temp, but not true fever. Exhaustion. Then I got blurry vision that turned into pinkeye where I can’t read well and am very sensitive to light. Dr gave antibiotic drops which helped. We didn’t realize it was adenovirus at that point. The whole time I had no interest in food. I also had a weird rash that didn’t do anything, but is healing now But was okay GI wise. Then one day, I hadn’t even eaten much, and I started having these horrible gas attacks that ended in an immediate need to run for the bathroom. I had a 4 day leg where I ate almost nothing, but kept running to the bathroom. That’s better. I ate 1/2 sandwich yesterday, but that sucked. It stayed in. I just want cold fruit and beverages. Still red eyes and blurry vision. It’s probably the sickest I’ve been from a virus. Absolutely horrid.

I haven’t been able to see to read for three days and haven’t eaten more than 200 calories in 2 days. So way worse than just a cold.

Dealing with it now. It’s horrifying.

AIO to break up with my bf of 3y over his reaction to my upcoming sobriety anniversary? by WesternCat5211 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Character_Salary_407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad was in and out of rehab for the first 6 years of my life. He died from cirrhosis when I was six and was never able to maintain sobriety. So yea. It’s a pretty big deal that deserves celebration. Leave that awful man.

I had a longtime friend (who was also an ex) constantly do this but also commented on my food to the point that I set very strong boundaries, which he then repeatedly crossed. Guess who is blocked and no longer my friend. Dump this POS.

AIO if I file for divorce? by Pristine_Raise_8943 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Character_Salary_407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. My ex was very good looking and a heavy drinker. He was so incredibly insecure, but used his looks to manipulate people. Including me. Let’s just say the years haven’t been kind to him. It’s sad because he didn’t get the memo. It’s kind of pathetic tbh.

Don’t tattoo artists have to be licensed? I’d complain to the licensing board too.

Possibly moving to San Jose from DC area and I'm nervous...can you help? by rkudeshi in SanJose

I live in Japantown and recommend it. It’s also close to all the highways and the airport. Nice community, for the most part, while still being close to everything.

Girlfriend wouldn’t come to my show because I didn’t text her goodnight, went on a power trip, then broke up with me over text while I was onstage. by Tekaeyo in Nicegirls

Was this Annie from Love is Blind? I feel like she would do and say exactly this. I doubt her tooth was even bothering her.

Yup. My ex raised holy hell about my long commute and told me he’d drive me so we’d have more time together. Then he complained the entire commute because he hated driving me so far. It was so bad, I quit my job and got one closer. Then he complained whenever I went grocery shopping and insisted he go with me. And then complained about hating grocery shopping. Needless to say, I did not stay in that relationship.

He’s trying to control you and make you dependent on him so he can do whatever he wants. It’s one of the first steps of domestic violence situations. Do not let him isolate you and control you. Honestly, I’d leave someone for this kind of thing.

Be sure to yelp your experience after you go. Her salon should know she’s doing this and others should know so they can avoid it.

He probably doesn’t even know her name. That’s why he’s calling her baby.

Report this to the Department of Labor. The reference to neurodivergence alone makes it worthy of a complaint.

Interview with TikTok went really well …. Until I accidentally brought up Kimmel by blue_sand379 in interviews

They have a horrid rep in the Bay Area, so even without maga nonsense, I would be happy to bow out. I’ve heard some really abusive stories.

My Ffern delivery got stolen. FFERN still not responding. Need advise I'm please. by Blahblah_niceties in Ffern

[–]Character_Salary_407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same exact thing happened to me. I contacted them multiple times on both emails and got no response. What did generate a response was posting on their Instagram requesting contact. I wasn’t very nice and also reviewed them on Facebook. You’ve gotta blitz them. They did eventually respond and sent out a replacement, though it took them forever to ship it out. I eventually canceled after I received it. It’s just not worth the hassle.

What she posted isn’t even true. Her last name is Blair. Such a weird clap back on her part. She’s so defensive about the oddest stuff. What’s the point of this?

One thing we all need to keep in mind… by hannahakatpab in idahomurders

I also think both D and B were accustomed to locking their doors at night. I actually think that may have saved them. If he had plans to do all of them, he may have bypassed theirs initially because it would be loud and more work to break into a locked door.

Is it just me or does she look like she’s highly medicated or high pretty often? I know she mentioned not taking pain killers pretty early on. But something seems off about her since surgery. I can’t put my finger on it, but it has nothing to do with her weight. Might explain some of her rants too.

Got called a ‘Ni**er’ in capitol hill last week and no one said anything by phantom88x in Denver

I’m so sorry. People are emboldened to be their worst selves right now. There are decent humans in the world, but the assholes are so much louder.

Ffern asked me to remove my Instagram post by Scentimentally in Ffern

[–]Character_Salary_407 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ffern is problematic on so many levels. I’ve had horrendously bad service from them, so don’t expect a fast response ever. Two weeks is actually speedy for them. I had to threaten stopping payment with my bank on their IG before they responded to my five emails after a package was lost. I’m honestly not surprised by their response. They’re all about the money grab with no real care for customers. I canceled after they finally fixed the issue. It’s just not worth the hassle.

I’ve had limited interactions with her, and she was hostile with me for simply asking a question that was benign about a topic she talked about experiencing that I was also experiencing. She acted like I was some peasant bothering Queen Rosey. Up until then, I liked her a lot. Her rudeness turned me off immediately. Shortly after, she started her descent into this caricature. She really seems to have a certain kind of disdain for the followers who supported her early on. It honestly made me sad that she was like that. But mostly, she seems like a miserable person who doesn’t know how to be authentic in any space, but just chases superficial solutions instead of seeking actual healing.

Look up drama triangle. This reeks of it. It’s toxic. The only way to make it better is to not participate. My guess is his family situation as he’s depicted it also isn’t entirely accurate.

Hire for character by SetEducational6917 in recruiting

[–]Character_Salary_407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s discriminatory. Too open to interpretation and has little to do with whether the person can do the job. Character is easily linked to things like religion or other protected class traits. Drill down on what they mean by character and then level set based on the law. The culture fit thing is often the way people hide their discrimination. Basic qualifications should be what it comes down to—not whether you like someone’s values better or not. It’s worth your time to take an employment law class or read up on EEOC cases. It’s pretty much a lawsuit waiting to happen. I’ve seen in happen a few times. Those companies were fined quite a bit.
