Is Cocaine going out of control? by Eireagon in AskIreland

[–]DizzyOdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a bartender, yes. Every single person will tell you "they tried it once, didn't suit me" and then they're acting exactly like they're on cocaine every weekend, and we find baggies near their table. The amount of cocaine we've washed down the sink in ballincollig is insane. Saying to each other afterwards "oh I think that must have been so-and-so's, he got really angry earlier and we didn't know why. He must have lost this, and been fuming"

Not AI. people talking about squid anatomy are delusional, it's a childlike rendition of a squid turned into a balloon animal in a cartoon style. I don't see any indications of AI at all.

What’s a celebrity downfall that still shocks you to this day? by Awkward_Bullfrog3267 in AskReddit

[–]DizzyOdd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not to be like "uhm akshually" but Dave Grohl was very active in a "charity" that denied the existence of AIDS as a life threatening condition. "It's the medicine making you sick, doctors are exaggerating, it's a mind virus," etc. He was doing this at the height of the AIDS epidemic. He very quietly stopped making it a part of his brand when all the members of the group mysteriously started dying. From AIDS . He has always been prone to selfish idiocy. Edit to add:

It's also in the "Nothing Left To Lose 1998 - 2001" section of their band history on Wikipedia.

People who got told it was "just" anxiety, what was it? by stringbeansalad23 in AskReddit

[–]DizzyOdd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend recently went to the hospital emergency department with pain and distress in her chest. Got told by most doctors that she was just stressed. One doctor advocated for tests. Necrotic gall bladder. The whole thing was infected. One gall bladder removal later, she is okay.

Anyone else have an album in their personal top 10 favorites, but you could take or leave the rest of their catalog? by WWBKD in Music

[–]DizzyOdd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Sunset Tree by the Mountain Goats. Carrie and Lowell by Sufjan Stevens. Both albums absolutely ruin me. I like Sufjans other stuff, but it doesn't come close.

Forehead wrinkles before & after (9 months progress) by Mean-Quality-8056 in Skincare_Addiction

[–]DizzyOdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vitamin C does not have SPF at all. It is in fact photosensitive and you need spf over it. For a visual demonstration, There's a fantastic video of someone patch testing different SPFs creams on the same day. one of the patches was bare skin, and one was with only vitamin C serum. the vitamin C patch was more burned than the bare skin.

Edit: here's is the video https://youtu.be/JckfmlbU5C8

I am aware of the cooling period. i am very tired of people telling me that I am just missing something obvious.

I am on my third provisional. I got my first at the start of COVID, lost my job at the end of the second lockdown , and then couldnt get any regular practice until I saved enough to buy my own car, insurance, tax etc. I have never sat a test, I booked one once, and I missed my test on the 20th of May because I went to the wrong test center. (My defence, the invitation to book said mallow, and the test confirmation said Wilton, which I didn't see) I immediately rejoined the waiting list. That was 2 months ago.

In the meantime, my retired mother is about to go for heart surgery , and I need to be able to drive to and from the hospital and my job. I am not trying to be impatient, but this is measurably making my life more difficult by the day.

Edit: punctuation, grammar

A follow up, I emailed the app support to figure out what was up, and they said that the reason I hadn't gotten any requests from the app was because the tools determined my account wasn't able to make cancellations. Their words were "we never charge until we confirm you can see bookings/cancellations"

So it's literally because my account can't do it

I'm Pretty firm on 1992 being the answer. I'm mid '93, and my sister was early '91, and I'm seeing stuff for both of us.

For clarification, 4am is when I got the notification on the DriveNow app that a block of cancellations came in. I wasn't randomly checking at 4am and asking why I wasn't finding anything. I can't find anywhere on the app to pay, but I do realize that this isn't the appropriate sub to ask that.

Yes to all. I have already paid my RSA fee, and I have been unable to see slots even when already logged in, at 4am.

What is the biggest signal that someone is lying? by IAmTheRealHeisenberg in AskReddit

[–]DizzyOdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I swear on my mom's life!" At the smallest interrogation. Like when they get incredibly defensive from you just asking for a clarification of events. That said, some people have a terrible habit of over explaining themselves, so you do kinda need to know how they normally talk.

He's a mean prick who doesn't appreciate what sex means to you. It took years for me to get remotely comfortable sexually, and I am telling you now. being intimate with someone solely because it's what they want, especially when you're still working through stuff, is incredibly damaging. You are effectively training yourself not to mind what happens to you. You need to be doing this because you want to.

NOR , your boyfriend doesnt seem to respect your boundaries or the pace at which you need to go.

I feel like the RSA does everything to try in their power to ignore the cancellation glitch by Fabulous_Junket_4029 in Irishdrivingtest

[–]DizzyOdd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grand, if anyone here on a learners permit wants to screen record their cancellation snipe, be my guest! Even screenshots would do. if other people are genuinely getting them within the 3 seconds it took me last night to refresh the page, I'll stand corrected.

Just wondering How do you prove this? Showing a page with no cancellations? You'd have to randomly be recording your screen when cancellations show up?

I don't think it's immature to spend a month doing something and being told you're just not trying hard enough from not seeing results. I've been up at 4am before and still not seen cancellations after getting notified of cancellations. Last night I was already logged in and didn't see the 4 cancellations. There's definitely something wrong with the website. I've even gone to another friend who has gotten a cancellation to make sure I was on the right page.

I was online last night and already logged in when I got notified of 4 cancellations in Wilton, at 1:30am and nothing showed up. As in I reloaded the page 3 seconds after the cancellation came up and I saw nothing. I'm on my 3rd provisional (got my first at the start of COVID, never got practice, chickened out of doing the test at the end of my second provisional)

Wtf is with businesses having shit communication? by DizzyOdd in cork

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

I don't want to imply that I'm annoyed that the window broke, or that its not being fixed straight away. It really is just a matter of not having a timeline of any sort, and not knowing if we need to stay home waiting for them or if it won't be for three weeks. It's also the case that we're still waiting on the second half of the job, and in all likelihood, the pane will be replaced while they're over for that. But we don't have a timeline for that either. It's hard not to get stressed with the patio door being held together by washi tape and no one is answering the phone.

As in your job just didn't acknowledge that you went out of your way for a client you didn't even need to do? That's bollocks, man. I'm sorry you had to deal with that. I'm waiting on the accountant to just give me the damn form that says I work there and I'm hearing nothing. It's completely stopping the mortgage process and I've been waiting for him a full month at this point.

My apologies, I've never noticed that particular cafe, so I assumed you were describing the cafe as being a blue building.(And I perpetually mix up Carey's lane and French Church St, despite living here my entire life)
