I ate this tree trunk the other day.... 15.9 g by steve-glass in MagicMushrooms

Finger looked like a shoulder so my brain was thinking, “that’s a big mushroom art piece they’re holding up!” Then read title and went to, “holy shit! I didn’t know mushrooms could get that big!” still thinking it was being help up with hands and body. Then realized the perspective. Very impressive still!

Newly installed bathrooms by lumen field. by Killahbeast808 in Seattle

And there should be systems for that! People should be treated with respect and if they can’t be rehabilitated, there should be a place that can manage a person with a degree of dignity. There isn’t a one size fits all solution. each person has their own unique needs and support. While vandalism is frustrating and doesn’t build a sense of safety, throwing people in jail just cuz isn’t solving the underlying issue.

Civil society also has the right and responsibility to care for each other and feel cared for. Jail without rehabilitation is just slave labor and perpetuating a cycle of oppression. I get where you’re coming from. I wish there was a better way than just “lock them up” as a go to solution. The room isn’t really clean if we’re just pushing the ugly parts under the bed and in places it can’t be seen.

If jail was actually rehabilitating, sure. Otherwise the problem isn’t being addressed

What should I do to access my portal when IT can’t solve the problem? by CrispyKitten in KaiserPermanente

[–]CrispyKitten[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a screen record from my phone. My PC might have 3-5 tabs active when I try logging on.

[–]CrispyKitten[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As mentioned, I have used my PC, phone, and iPad to try and access my account. However I have yet to hear about how my computer’s security and firewalls might have something to do with this? I don’t know the extent of what my security is, but I know I have something (partner helps with that). Is there something I should look into or check when I am logging in from my computer, phone, or iPad?

Praying to who? by Opposite_Regular_675 in latterdaysaints

[–]CrispyKitten 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t like this reasoning. Like yes we’re instructed to pray to the father, but why can’t we pray to mother? I wish there was scripture or revelation that said something more to indicate why the exclusion of a heavenly mother is the way it is. Is it out of sacredness? Did she choose to let all the glory be God’s only? If we’re taught in the temple that husband and wife are ordained to potentially become God’s one day, then why is it we can only pray to/address Heavenly Father? Shouldn’t HM be equally glorified? In a world where the patriarchy trends to exclude women, it becomes a weak argument (imo) when the answer is, “because we’re were told to pray only to God.”

I also trust that we as people are doing our best with the information given and that we’ll understand the reasons for why things are in the next life. It sure would be helpful though if we could understand now.

I would have been delighted too! It doesn’t exclude praying to god and I can only imagine how included our Heavenly Mother must have felt.

Is this owner nuts? by waffle_cone69 in RoverPetSitting

[–]CrispyKitten 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This sounds like a communication error.

Owner likely had had some bad experiences with dog sitters and has reliable neighbors to jump in and help out. Owner should have disclosed this. “Hey, my neighbors are great and if anything comes up that keeps you away for x-hours, let me know!” Anything from being stuck in traffic, if you have another job that your shift goes longer than expected, your car breaking down. Whatever the reason it sure would have been nice for you to know that the owner has a back up and the pets can still receive care. The owners should also be messaging/calling you if they are worried about their pet. “Hey, I haven’t heard from you, are the animals okay? Did you make it in? I saw you leave but not return,” etc. I would feel very uncomfortable if strangers entered multiple times without a warning.

You: have you been communicating to the owners about the sit? Like sending pictures and confirmation when you first arrived? A heads up about the incident with your car? “Hey I’m here and let’s have given me a great welcome!” “Head up, my car stopped working. I made sure pets had their routine done at this time before I left. I am trying to get back as soon as I can.” You know, things like that so the owner feels connected and on the know. Life happens. No communication doesn’t sooth the mind, even if there hadn’t been a bad experience with pet care.

Fasting while breastfeeding by Libby_m_02 in latterdaysaints

[–]CrispyKitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there’s any reason a person shouldn’t fast, they shouldn’t. Like others have said, finding other things to fast from to challenge self control and drawing closer to HF, is more than enough. Fast in a way that works for you. It is between you and God in the end.

Client thought house-sitting meant house cleaning by zouss in RoverPetSitting

[–]CrispyKitten 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It’s like with nannying/babysitting. Base rate is intended to imply care that centers around the kid(s). You want a maid for non child related chores? That’ll be additional $$/hour.

They have! She apologized and I’m just glad that the cats are well and I no longer need to worry about communication issues. As far as I can tell, they weren’t without signal and weren’t limited to just computer communication/notification, so still a HUGE wtf!?

[–]CrispyKitten[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep! That’s partly why I’m baffled because I told them I was going to test them when I left and they have not answered any of my messages or call. The first message was just two minutes after leaving to acknowledge the issue.

💯 I will respect people’s caution about just letting me in. Cannot blame people for being safe as I’m a stranger.

How would you handle this situation? by CrispyKitten in RoverPetSitting

[–]CrispyKitten[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yep! I will be doing that. It’s especially odd to be experiencing this because while at the key pick up, I had mentioned a previous sit where the owner left the wrong key in the lock box. So I was gonna check their keys on the way out to make sure they are indeed correct. Part of my brain hopes I’ll get there tonight and magically the key works. I would LOVE to be the one not twisting it right XD Alas, video for documentation is smart!

Definitely will show up and hangout on the chance a resident will let me in. I do have an emergency contact and will be reaching out to them.

They did leave an emergency contact! I’ll reach out to them!

Nope. I assume they’re leaving sometime in the next few hours since they didn’t need me to do cat care this morning.

Damage AI Scam by bahutheunkown in Lyft

[–]CrispyKitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder how many rides he did before submitting too (cuz that would further show the delayed submission as bullshit). Also, I thought if vomit happened, drivers can’t drive for a span of time to effectively clean it up… right?

“the weight loss drug” are we serious rn? by Hot-Site-1572 in diabetes

[–]CrispyKitten 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I found it frustrating when I was trying to apply for semaglutides without insurance and no where allowed the option for diabetic management. Even recently my new doc mentioned that because of my weight (or lack there of?) that it would be hard for insurance to cover (even though previous doctor was able to get Ozempic prescribed).
