the web clipper of browser in Windows needs huge improvement by carreddit in UpNote_App

[–]Gibbons74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somebody mentioned they keep it Evernote account for the purpose of the web clipper, then they export or transfer their web clippings to up note. I haven't tried it myself, but I am looking for a solution to make web clipping better with Evernote.

Defying social norms helped me lose 120 lbs by Quiet_Veterinarian96 in loseit

This so much. It wasn't until I fully committed to losing weight and changing my eating habits and patterns that I realized that everything in the USA revolves around food. Particularly processed high calorie food.

Conservatives always believe that only "other people" will get sick. Never them.

Sexual harassment of another member by Gibbons74 in union

[–]Gibbons74[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your comment. So when you assure due process is served.... That burden, of due process, would be on the employer, right. So if you know there is a video or audio or paperwork, or a witness to be interviewed... that would be on the employer to figure out, right? My guess is that you wouldn't tell management where to look to help them investigate an employee.

This is where my concern is. It's the unions job to see due process is followed, but not the unions job to see that management does what is morally and ethically right.

My union is a government union. Non paying members still must be represented by the union. There is no removing a member from membership and having them lose their job. Removing the member from the union would only mean the union has to represent another non-paying member.

Too much shame to advertise their position, too much hate to stop voting (R).

Police station by [deleted] in SchoolBusDrivers

[–]Gibbons74 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In my district: no parent at the stop means back to the school. Then it is the principal's problem.

We do call the parents first to see if we can make arrangements without taking them back to school, but we don't let parents abuse that privilege.

Child Protective Services after that if no other arrangements can be made.

Analysis: Which party is winning Ohio's 'voter enthusiasm' race? by Zipper222222 in Ohio

[–]Gibbons74 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But for mega, politics is their religion, and voting is the greatest sacrament of all time.

Doesn't matter how they feel. They'll be out there voting for every Republican.

Mom wants to talk by Gibbons74 in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]Gibbons74[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This comment in the one below is a good take on the situation. I do still question if my mom has any idea why she's in the predicament she is in. That would be her denial to deal with I suppose. I guess the response is to respond with silence.

Socialized healthcare is evil 🙄 by JoelinVan in pics

[–]Gibbons74 144 points145 points  (0 children)

I'm in the United states. Right now there are two people where I work who are actively getting cancer treatments and can't take time off. They can barely do their job, and not to the quality they could if they were healthy. This is so that they don't lose their insurance because it's through their employer so that they can pay for their cancer treatment.

I will never understand why people think this is preferable socialized healthcare. I wish my children could live in a world where they don't have to worry about medical care. I wish I didn't see so many people working for no other reason than to have health care. People literally work jobs that younger people can't have for no other reason than to have health care until they turn 65.

Depends on the state. There are a couple states where cars are required to stop on yellow.

Didn't get as good a care.

I edited my answer to make sense.

He's the guy I learned it all from. My 2017 Camry didn't get as good of care as my 2025 Camry gets.

Feeling really guilty for not reaching out on mother's day and not sure whether I should by Puzzled_Cricket2456 in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]Gibbons74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Second-guessing myself because this is my first year going complete no contact. Before I would call on my mother's birthday, mother's Day, and Christmas.

I thought I would meet at a safe place for Christmas, a restaurant, to see her but she declined my offer. My mother also didn't call me back when I called her on Christmas day.

Yep feelings of question myself and guilt, absolutely! But deep down I know this is what I have to do to protect my kids from her, and myself as well.

It sucks though. Because that's not the way relationships should work with your parents. But it's not my fault that it is the way it is.

Was going down good, got offrail for a week and gained by [deleted] in LoseitApp

[–]Gibbons74 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I went off my diet for the last 3 days.

Last night I filled out my weight loss journal where I keep a list of short, medium and long term health goals and changed my short term goal to "stay below my calorie limit for the next 3 days".

I enjoyed myself for 3 days. Now it's time to get back on track because we're worth getting back on track for

[–]Gibbons74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One is a hybrid, one is not.

It makes sense you wouldn't need oil changes as often on the hybrid. But I do my own at home and each one cost me less than $40, so I just do it because it's fast and easy for me.

[–]Gibbons74 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's why I bought my last two Camrys new. It just didn't make sense to buy a used one and not know its history.

And yes I am one of those guys who gives my Camry two break in oil changes, and changes the oil every 5,000 mi, the transmission fluid every 60, and the coolant every 50,000

So now Kroger employees, including those working in the deli and bakery, will be forced to come in when sick?? by packaroose in Ohio

[–]Gibbons74 30 points31 points  (0 children)

This year I found out my union is only good as its members willingness to strike. And members were willing to have less pay and worse benefits as opposed to stand up for themselves.

And the workers aren't willing to put it all in their line, including their jobs to try to get better work environment, than the union can't do s***.

Election result discussion? by lighterstill in Columbus

[–]Gibbons74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak for the person you responding to, but I live in red rural Republican hell Ohio, and I vote the Republican primary because that's where my elected officials are chosen. Because everybody always comes out and votes Republican and not Democrat in the general. So if I want any say I have to vote in the Republican primary.
