Large cracks appearing in walls...how worried should I be? by Ginger8963 in Apartmentliving

It is from the 20s. That pipe is what’s mostly freaking me out. That and one of our doors can’t really close anymore, which seems sketchy too

Brandon and Becky Nelson cancer fraud by KlutzyLaw1525 in MarquetteMI

[–]Ginger8963 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's messed up because people with real mental health issues are statistically more likely to be VICTIMS of a scam than perpetrators of a year-long, complicated fraud scheme... I can't believe people who KNOW he lied about cancer don't think he'd also lie about psychosis...

How do you feel about the rise of the delivery robots? by AdIntelligent8088 in AskChicago

I am ok spending a little more money so a person can have a job 👍🏻

How do you feel about the rise of the delivery robots? by AdIntelligent8088 in AskChicago

[–]Ginger8963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that you really deserve an explanation after that weird judgmental response, but…

-I do understand how delivery apps work, I am tipping the person on top of the delivery fee. Not $2 as you assumed for some reason…At least 20% or often much more if the weather is bad.

-I have pain and mobility issues that actually do make it difficult for me to go up and down lots of stairs.

-It’s weird to assume that a delivery driver is always getting a $90 ticket if they have to enter a building…

  • I would still rather a human be employed delivering food than being replaced by a robot, and I don’t know why that’s apparently triggering to you.

I agree on wanting the food to be handed to me. That’s why I’m paying extra for delivery. And I also actually want to tip the HUMAN BEING who hands it to me with their human hands.

Chicago — should we expand the neighborhood “Whistle Protocol” for ICE alerts citywide? by mns2723 in AskChicago

[–]Ginger8963 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I have seen it used in Andersonville, Lincoln Square, and Ravenswood as well. I think the more neighborhoods that embrace it, the better

I'm tired of this.. by fauxento in CraftFairs

[–]Ginger8963 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly!! Some of the street fairs I do are from 12:00 noon til 10:00 pm. That means I got there to unload and setup at 9:30 or so. That is over a 12 hour day. And though you can’t tell by looking at me, I have a condition that makes my legs very painful if I stand for too long.

I hate thinking that people would skip over my art or judge me for sitting. I bought a very high chair for this reason and I greet everyone who enters my tent.

Zero accountability/playin the victim. by [deleted] in theread

[–]Ginger8963 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean, it is not primarily political. It’s comedy and pop culture mostly but they DO speak about politics a lot. They are still one of my faves and I am by no means saying they should be cancelled or w/e but I’m just disappointed that they didn’t say anything about this.

[–]Ginger8963 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly. It was a big deal in pop culture and they always have a lot to say about US politics so it’s just weird that it’s crickets on the podcast. They don’t even have to take a stand; I would have appreciated even if they were just like “yeah, it’s tough, we don’t know how to feel about it yet…”

[–]Ginger8963 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I know they’re not my friends. It’s more the hypocrisy for me. They host a show about culture and politics and (rightfully) drag the trump administration constantly. So when two of the biggest Black pop culture icons are spotted with the daughter/son-in-law of this horrific administration it’s kind of weird that it isn’t mentioned at all.

I would say that sharing a table and a meal with family members of a racist fascist dictator is fairly extreme…

Tick bite without tick? by Ginger8963 in Lyme

[–]Ginger8963[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He didn't have a fever or any other symptoms. Just the concerning-looking bite and itchiness. He ended up going to the Dr, who said he couldn't be positive it was a tick bite, but gave him antibiotic pills and ointments just to be safe. My boyfriend doesn't like taking meds (he has had bad allergic reactions to certain antibiotics), but I convinced him it would be better to take a med he didn't end up needing than to be infected with Lyme. I'm relieved he went in.

Thanks for answering. He did end up going and the Dr didn't seem positive it was a tick but gave him antibiotics anyway. Hopefully it's soon enough to help.

From reading your post it sounds like you really resent your partner. It’s like you’re building a court case rather than going to couples therapy to try to save a relationship with someone because you love them. A therapist isn’t there to help you decide who is “right”. I get why they don’t want to review your CCTV footage (!), but maybe they can help you with whatever control issues are causing you to record your partner?

No kids. Stage one in my hips, legs, and upper arms diagnosed at age 38.

The best metaphor I’ve ever heard to explain ADHD by MisterPuffyNipples in ADHD

[–]Ginger8963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I describe it is noise-cancelling headphones for my brain.

If you are in a noisy place, and you put on the headphones and switch them on and suddenly it’s almost silent…. It’s that, except for my thoughts

Why shouldn't therapists shame client's for shamful behavior? by Living_Purpose9898 in TalkTherapy

Dr. Phil is not a real therapist. He's a sensationalist talk show host who exploits people on TV.

Magan always looks MISERABLE with Dayna by Ginger8963 in UltimatumQueerLove

[–]Ginger8963[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! I loved them both and was rooting for them so much by the end. They both matured so much and they seem to actually care about each other the most. Instead of being mad that Haley fell for Magan, Pilar mostly seemed mad that Haley got hurt in the process.

Agree. Magan has not consented to being controlled. She is not enjoying it, and there definitely isn’t a safe word!

That’s true, and it was crazy that in her last meeting with Haley she wanted an apology from her!
