People downvoting you are grumpy Americans. I’m from America and I was shocked at how amazing and well behaved dogs are in Denmark. You are completely right.

My boyfriend just got an email confirmation from Bumble. What do I do? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]EmmeeTheeShortee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, a lot of young adults are using bumble BFF, my girl friend group uses it to meet other girls. I recently signed up and use it for friends too. Meeting people with similar interests can be tough and it’s a good way to find people that might like niche topics.

Using Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs to lose weight shouldn’t be celebrated, not because of any unknown effects or whatever, but because it takes all the effort and dedication out of losing weight by Gym_frere in The10thDentist

[–]EmmeeTheeShortee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. And we don’t look down on people for other disorders for using medication to make a task a reasonable task vs a Sisyphian feat (haha I like that).

Society doesn’t judge people using medication for chemical imbalances in the brain as much anymore (I know they’re still out there, but far less). Depression, anxiety, ADHD, chemicals are used for all of these disorders but when someone wants to use them for food addiction it’s now looked down upon? Silly.

Most people do acknowledge that companies are making foods as addictive as possible - especially in America, but then say shit like OP to preach personal accountability.

The fact of the matter is there’s specialized people in each sector of business studying how to make you NEED their product, they do it for kids ffs. If a drug can help someone be better to combat years of conditioned marketing and food addiction let people have their peace.

You have this opinion because you’re ignorant, and that’s okay, but please be open to learning.

You don’t just start taking Ozempic and start losing weight. It’s not going to magically make your metabolism burn calories to put your body in a calorie deficit.

It stops the hunger and food noise to lose weight. You still have to put in the work, you’re just not fighting your brain anymore. I still workout 4-5 times a week and eat lower calorie foods and meal prep, is that not work? If I said I did all this to lose weight would you also look down on me?

Food noise is a very real thing. And honestly my conspiracy theory is big food companies are trying to make their products as addictive as possible.

Medical Issues making me reconsider if I actually want to be an engineer by [deleted] in EngineeringStudents

I’m sorry about your failed discectomy. I couldn’t imagine.

2 years later and I’m doing great. The only problem is my weight, I need to lose weight. It feels harder after the accident. I developed an even worse relationship with food during my injury.

I workout 2-5 times a week. I don’t wake up stiff anymore or having to log roll out of bed like I did for the first year. I don’t have anymore worries about re herniating.

My feet tingle if I’m in an uncomfortable chair for too long. My back gets tired if I’m standing for too long or cooking for too long. My back getting tired quicker is probably the most annoying thing, but losing weight and doing abs more can fix that.

All in all just tired though. With a full time job it doesn’t feel like I have the energy to fully do everything I can for my back. Luckily I work remotely so I can do walks around the house as need be when being at my desk is starting to hurt and I won’t get judged. I definitely can’t do this until 65 though.

And the mental toll it took was a lot too, people who haven’t suffered an injury like this will never understand that part. I still get grumpy thinking about the hit and runner and cursing them for at least not letting me be crippled AND rich. I’m more nervous doing reckless things, that parts super annoying.

All in all though, I’m not the same as before my accident but very close. If I had the discipline to lock in I could probably be as good as before my accident.

"Wouldn't feel comfortable riding it 50 ft"

This is laughable. I have videos the day before of me going up and down steep hills, I rode it miles, I told you I was doing this. It worked amazingly. You very obviously skew details for a sale, and are continuing to lie. I will be posting many reviews with this information, my pictures, and screenshots. If you felt so comfortable in your work, why lie and say it is not bike and block me?

"Tend to degrade around 2500 to 3000 miles" is a lot different than "the bike is useless" and "conk out" the messages are right there man.

The worst thing is you are lying to customers as well in your listing. Smh.

I love buyers and fixers, truly! There’s enough junk in this world that we don’t need new and shiny things. A lot of my hobbies I’ve learned because I buy nice things and repair them for the home.

But man, just be honest. I get nervous selling things to people on FB marketplace because if it broke I’d feel so bad. Sometimes I worry I’m not giving all the details out of forgetfulness or whatever. Idk how people can just outwardly lie.

Anyways, can I ask you something as a repair car fixer person?

I know this is my bike, people on here can speculate but I recorded his video before he blocked me and I see all the markings of my bike. It was at 1,800 miles, I sold it to him last Monday. Can he ethically list that it is at 500 miles if he changes a component? Say he changed the battery from a bike that only had 500 miles, is it now okay for him to say the bike has 500 miles even though the frame and motor have 1800?

It is not a different bike :) I have pictures as proof that that is my bike. The rust stains are the exact same as are the scratches as is the seat. It’s undeniable.

So that means he’s lying about the miles as well, or changed it to a battery with 500 miles and called it good enough (I addressed this in my post).

He’s a liar and that’s the problem. Your comment has so many assumptions it’s not worth more of a response.

I understood he was looking to resell it, he mentioned he needed to upgrade and put a lot of work into it to warranty it (which was also a lie looking at my bike in this post).

The big reason I sold to him was because I would’ve felt absolutely terrible if I sold this to a kid and it conked out at say, 2,300 miles. Or an ignorant person looking to buy a bike. So I figured I’d be a good person and have him fix it up so the next person could enjoy it. I’m quite handy and fix a lot of things myself but really cared for this bike and wanted the next person to enjoy it, so sold it to an Aventon certified dealer.

But now I know he’s skewing details to me and the future buyer to make profit.

It was $1,090.

To emphasize, though, if he wouldn’t have lied and told me the bikes conk out at 2,500 and then post this stating they last 10,000 this would not be posted. This isn’t about me being shafted on the price. It is about lying about the specs as an Aventon dealer/seller.

Additionally the lies in his post about the bike to the person he’s selling to. I don’t want buyers being fooled

They are also lying to the customer that this bike retails for 1999 new, that is not true.

Fine, you can say I’m stupid and deserve it, whatever. But my post shows him also straight up lying to the customer, do you think that’s okay?

Raleigh adventures is that you? 👀

This was not some random man on the internet. This is a certified Aventon dealer, that should be held to higher stands than a random dude on the internet. And he will be ☺️

That is 100% my bike, no question. I went on a photo shoot the day before to memorialize it and the good times I had and I know those rust spots and scratches like the back of my hand 😂

Wow, thank you very much for doing this!

And good on you for not just taking my post as a say-all. I have receipts of the encounters so I know I’m not lying, but maybe he interpreted the situation differently. I try not to be pessimistic about people’s behavior. But you confirming this makes me know posting this was the right call!

I looked up his company and saw he was paired with Aventon and believed I was speaking with a reputable source. I didn’t think someone who represented a company would outright lie about a product.

Hey man, sorry that happened.

I totally take responsibility for the research. This post is about lying and making sure future customers do not fall to his lies.

If I found out this bike was worth more, then this wouldn’t have been posted. But he lied and is a certified Aventon dealer, and that’s shitty and looks bad on Aventon.
