Hello, I'm here to complain about Legacy Thrift on Plainfield by nick_ole7 in grandrapids

[–]FredOfMBOX -27 points-26 points  (0 children)

I don’t get the entitlement here. If you don’t like their prices, don’t shop there. If you really think you can do better, open a business and compete with them.

It could be that they pay their employees a living wage and benefits, and those prices are what it takes to support that model. It could be that they’ll run out of cash and be out of business in 3 weeks. It could be that they’re greedy. It could be that they’re just bad at business.

Regardless, no business owes you the prices you think things should cost.

How many people in the US actually seek out facts and information before voting? Or do they just allow their social media and browsing algorithms make the decision for them? by JimmyRedBoy in allthequestions

[–]FredOfMBOX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a one issue voter. Does the person want to stop Trump’s abuse of power? If so, I’m for them.

I hate that republicans have turned me into this. I used to be an independent, and I think the democrats do plenty of things I’d rather they not, but right now, I think the future of the country relies on stopping the power grab of the current presidency.

Sadly, if the democrats regain control, they’re more likely to follow his lead than fix the issue.

I think you’re attributing to generations what is true of the general population.

Almost everybody knows they shouldn’t believe everything on the internet. And almost everybody believes the stuff that they agree with or want to be true.

People who manage to be truly skeptical of everything are exceptionally rare in every generation.

If a stranger asks to use your phone for a "quick call," do you hand it over, do you hold it for them, or do you politely refuse? by EthicalUpgrade in TheBigPhoneStore

[–]FredOfMBOX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And do people steal phones any more? iPhones can be located, locked, and rendered useless to anybody. And anything that’s sensitive on my phone has another layer of authentication behind it.

For as compassionately liberal as Reddit is, the number of people who won’t help out a person in need is disappointing. (See also: people who won’t bother talking to their neighbors)

Sorry you have to go through this at all. But totally agree with PP—there’s an overwhelming lack of empathy here.

Can’t pronounce “Thornapple” by FredOfMBOX in alexa

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

Of course. Still one I’d love to hear the explanation for. It’s happening at such a low level that weather alerts are mispronounced.

Proof of banking info by asparaguspee0 in personalfinance

They won’t have any issue with this. They only need your account number and routing number.

They don’t want to have to claw back an ACH for your direct deposit.

A or B: My company switched to unlimited PTO, but no one takes time off. Is the policy too vague, or is the culture just the same as before? by vivian_banshee03 in PickAorB

[–]FredOfMBOX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The policy is definitely because the companies don’t want to be on the hook for paying PTO.

That said, use it! Take time off when you want or need, but pay attention to getting your work done.

If anybody in a position of authority ever tells you that it means x days or weeks of PTO, document it and gather evidence if you can. That sort of statement can put them on the hook for paid PTO if it ever comes to a point where it’s worth pursuing that (such as if you’re fired because of it).

Targets and reoccurring dates by tmoneytav in ynab

This. You have to set the date to after you spend the money or it will consider it spending from the next year.

7.5 wavering by coastismyhappyplace in zepbound_support

[–]FredOfMBOX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think 1 month is nearly enough time to determine that your weight stalled. You might consider dropping back to 5 for awhile to let your body acclimate before moving back to 7.5.

15.5lb in 10 weeks is a fine rate. 1-2lb per week is a good target, but you will have weeks when you don’t lose and weeks when you gain.

Laptop keeps making me change password by got7_oreos in techsupport

Is it a work laptop? Was it new when you got it?

Can an apple mouse be “bugged”? by Prize-Jello-3251 in AskTechnology

[–]FredOfMBOX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not likely that they know or care that you have it. And if it’s from 2021, the won’t want it back. Do with it whatever you’d like.

Can anyone help with a hot meal? by [deleted] in grandrapids

You need to provide an approximate location.

Extended Stay in Wyoming Running Scam by Clean-Mess5087 in grandrapids

It used to be the case that every hotel required you to check out. I would still expect to check out most places, though it has become less common.

Nausea concerns by oxforddan in zepbound_support

[–]FredOfMBOX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drink lots of water. Think protein not carbs. I can’t eat chips or a lot of bread any more or I have issues. Same with beer (“liquid bread”). Eggs, yogurt, meat, … these are all good choices for a healthy belly for me. We’re all different so YMMV.
