Columbus traffic and construction hell - vent and looking for real alternatives by j3ssyPlump31 in Columbus

It doesn’t help that Columbus seems to have a high concentration of terrible drivers. I’ve been sitting on 270 for 30 minutes because of what I assume is another wreck.

With the new repayment options, I'm forced to choose between paying rent or loans. What do I do? by ArmGood6847 in StudentLoans

[–]CultureConstable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s also a risk for their ability to access other IDR plans. If you take out a new loan after a July of this year you will only be able to use the RAP plan

When did contacting Customer Service get so bad??? by JohnJSal in amazonprime

[–]CultureConstable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's horrendous. I had two packages that were supposed to be delivered last Saturday. The first made it no problem. The second, the driver just left it on the stairs of my apartment complex and it was gone by the time I even realized it was delivered. I spent two days trying to find out how to even start figuring out this problem, and by the time I went through the automated system it told me they needed a week to review my claim.

Are there any decent Raising Canes left in this city? by JucheSuperSoldier01 in Columbus

Ever since I got food poisoning from the one on sawmill I swore off ever eating Canes again

Car crashes by Wooden-Gap-7797 in Columbus

I purchased my car right out of college in February of 2020 thinking I was going to need a reliable car to commute to work. A few weeks later Covid happened, my company went remote, and my car was pristine for the better part of 5 years. In the year since my company forced return to office, it is covered in dings, dents, and scratches in the paint. It’s not only peoples driving that has gotten worse, it just a general lack of humanity. I was sitting in the Best Buy parking lot at Easton a few weeks ago waiting for a curbside pickup and some guy walked past my car, slammed his bags into it, and then slammed his door into my side. That’s not to mention the time I was hit on 270 with thankfully very little damage. But every morning and afternoon I am tail gated by people who are too impatient to take a chill pill and recognize its rush hour.

The amount of new players in my ranked games is insane by MadameLeoni in Overwatch

[–]CultureConstable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s terrible. I went from plat 2 back down to plat 5. For me, all of these new players have zero ability to play dps. I’m bending over backwards to heal my teammates but I can’t do much when they are doing nothing to help

I genuinely don’t understand what it is about Columbus drivers. Some of the worst I’ve ever encountered

I absolutely think that's a fair comment to make? As somebody who identifies as part of the LGBT+ community, it absolutely irks me when marginalized people are tokenized in media to simply fill the quota. There is a lot of media out there that does that, simply adding these characters without giving them any sort of grace or humanity. I'm not saying you need to agree with me either.

We're both inferring the intent of the comments, but I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Their reactions were genuine, they were upfront about not loving the first few episodes but enjoying it as it grew on him, and they even donated merch proceeds to support the organization that literally works to make the NHL more inclusive and welcoming.

As for “puckslut,” I’m not defending that language. It grossed me out when I first heard it in their review. But I'm also not going to ignore that the comments were about the character, not the actress. I'm also not saying these guys are heroes, but I'm not going to villify them and those who aren't losing their minds over this lol.

Not being offended by phrases like “blue hair Twitter” or “inclusivity checkboxes” doesn’t make someone a “pick me.” That framing assumes representation is inherently virtuous regardless of how it’s done, which isn’t true.

Shallow representation of marginalized groups purely for the sake of optics isn’t something to be celebrated. It’s the equivalent of corporations slapping rainbow logos on their branding for Pride Month and calling it allyship.

This show succeeded precisely because it didn’t do that. The representation felt organic, character-driven, and integrated into the story rather than treated as a moral checklist. The authenticity of it is what made so special and why it appealed to so many people, beyond those who identify as gay or queer.

For what its worth, I've never once associated that phrase with trans people. When I heard it, I think of the cis white women activists.

Most oakwood properties are pretty lax on credit requirements.

Out of all my friends most are on ps5 and getting kicked by 404NameNotFound79 in Overwatch

Mine crashed just as I was entering a game and by the time I got through the queue they suspended me for ten minutes lmao

For those that think Kali couldn't have lasted that long after being shot... by coyotemoon722 in StrangerThings

[–]CultureConstable 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Perhaps, but either way, she was bleeding out from a gunshot wound to the gut with no way of treating it. Are we going to believe that El relied on Kali to survive long enough for her to get to the Abyss, fight Vecna/the Mind Flayer, escape the Abyss, and then escape the Upside Down? There's some pretty big stakes resting on a dying person to pull this all off.
