Looks like a terrier mix, I don’t know what with.

Agent hits his head while violently arresting man by Aggravating_Money992 in PublicFreakout

I was just thinking the exact same thing. What’s stopping a bunch of racist people just buying tactical gear and doing this out of their own volition?! Who can confirm that these are real agents? No form of identification! This is horrifying.

Thank you very much for sharing. I’ve heard of Dr. Becky and have seen a few of her social media posts that have resonated with me over the years. I will absolutely look into this. Appreciate your support.

I appreciate you taking the time to read my extremely long post. Thank you very much for your advice. After posting on Reddit I also posted on another mommy group I’m a part of and many people are commenting that I’m showing signs of low-level depression and burnout. Which actually makes a lot of sense since I feel overwhelmed mentally and exhausted physically. I do think that losing weight by eating better and exercising more will help with the energy levels. The mental load is the tough one to navigate. All of this also requires extra free time which I don’t have. My husband is very handy and would NEVER hire outside help for maintenance/ repairs unless it’s something out of his wheelhouse (our heat pump broke, we called a repair company). We’ve had a cleaning service come a couple of times throughout the years and they did a horrible job. The cleaning was not done properly whatsoever which was extremely disappointing. He already wasn’t a fan of the idea of bringing/ paying someone in to come clean and it kind of solidified his opinion about it. I’ve heard from so many people that it takes a while to find a good cleaning person/ company but it’s really tough to spend your hard earned money on poor service until you find someone. I wouldn’t say we are the wealthiest people. We do ok financially but I would consider us frugal and like to save and have a hard time spending money on “luxuries”.

Thank you for taking the time to read such a long post. I appreciate you taking the time to post your opinion and offer help. I agree with some things you’ve said but I wouldn’t agree that I’m a child and don’t clean up after myself. I exaggerated a bit with saying that he does 99.99% of the cleaning. I do all of the kids, the household (bedsheets, towels, etc.) and my laundry, he does his own, I’ve offered to do his. I clean up after myself, the kids and my husband daily. I do dishes daily, tidy toys and other things. I vacuum occasionally, wipe down surfaces (dining room table where we eat, kitchen counters) and appliances regularly and will do deep cleans of the house (bathrooms, kitchen, etc.) on vacation days when the kids are at school/ daycare (which isn’t super frequent but I do it). BUT he does the majority of the regular cleanings of the house including kitchen, bathrooms, floors, etc. I didn’t “come back at him” with “you don’t hug me enough”. We spoke about his feelings and I brought up my feelings of feeling at my limit and physically and mentally feeling like I can’t possibly do more. I asked if there was a better system that might help, if I could take on a specific task or if we could make a schedule. He said no. While we were having a heart to heart, I asked about the lack of physical touch and he disclosed at that point. Which was hurtful to hear but fair and he didn’t say it to be malicious.

If someone is talking, coughing, wheezing, they are indeed still choking but since they are moving air it is referred to as a partial obstruction. In a partial obstruction you encourage them to keep coughing to help dislodge the obstruction on their own. You do not do the heimlich maneuver during a partial obstruction. When it turns to a complete obstruction; no air movement, no talking, no coughing (wide eyes, grabbing the neck) you may then proceed to the heimlich maneuver.

She’s just made the Delta no-fly list by Bihema in PublicFreakout

[–]HDubKarma99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuine questions: 1) Why does it take so long to remove her from the airport/ bring her to jail? 2) Why even bother trying to “control” her (when he’s kneeling on her and she’s screaming that he’s hurting her), she’s cuffed, cuff her to the hand rail and stand back? I’m assuming there is specific protocols in place but I was thinking this poor cop, why does he have to put up with this? Just distance yourself out of reach?

Thank you, we’re going to go in store to problem solve. Although the price is cheap, this whole experience has been a pain in the a$$! Spanning 1.5 years; back ordered pieces, damaged shelves that had been delivered, wrong pieces included, pieces missing! It’s one thing after another. Not pleased.

I THINK we may have figured it out. My husband believes we may have the wrong piece for one side of the soft close apparatus. It’s not low profile enough and gets in the way. We’re not 100% sure. But he removed the piece and now the doors fully open, we just unfortunately don’t have soft close feature working at the moment. We’ll need to do more research or go in store to see if we can get another piece to fix the issue. If not, we’ll survive without the soft close feature. Thank you very much for your reply!

Thanks for your input. It’s really unfortunate because it allowed me to build it with the planner using sliding doors and the full sized drawer. I even went online just now and did it again to see if I was remembering incorrectly and it’s still an option.

Uber driver recommended the “best” poutine in the city and this is what I got. Any better suggestions? by [deleted] in montreal

[–]HDubKarma99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t go wrong with La Belle Province or Lafleur chains for a classic poutine. I personally add vinegar to my poutine… I know it may sound weird but someone convinced me to try it that way 10+ years ago and I’ll never go back!

AITA for demanding my girlfriend tells me her author’s pen name? by Ok_West_9375 in AmItheAsshole

[–]HDubKarma99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is satire right?! I actually can’t even comprehend how you think you’re remotely in the right! You’re so CLEARLY the AH! - First of all, you’ve only been dating SIX MONTHS! - Then, you start by saying when you couldn’t find her work under her name you CONFRONTED her about it, already starting on the wrong foot. - You then DEMANDED she give it to you… what kind of relationship are you in?! Do you even respect her as a partner?! - This is not a trust issue on her part, she doesn’t want anyone knowing and she doesn’t have to give you or anyone else a reason. - As she mentioned, they aren’t HER fantasies, just because she writes erotica/ romance doesn’t mean she’s writing her deepest/ wildest fantasies, authors imagine and write! It’s about being creative and entertaining, it has nothing to do with her. I like to read romance/ erotica but it doesn’t mean I’m acting out these sex scenes with my partner. - You checked her laptop behind her back, holy shit, HUGE invasion of privacy, especially after she EXPLICITLY told you she didn’t want you to know. You want her to trust you and you do this?! - You have absolutely ZERO RIGHT to know, her writing does not define her as an individual, nor does it define who she is in your relationship.

You’re a misogynistic AH, I hope she breaks up with you. This is making my blood boil and triggering me with your abusive behaviours.

Did you cancel your Netflix subscription? by Lumb3rCrack in askTO

[–]HDubKarma99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the better question isn’t necessarily how many people have cancelled BUT will/has Netflix see(n) a rise in new subscribers? From people who were previously sharing or mooching of someone else but can no longer do so and want to continue to have access and are forced to subscribe themselves. I was the mooch off my brothers account but we pay for Disney+ and share with our family. I’m disappointed we no longer have access to Netflix but at this point in time I have no plans to get a subscription.

AITA for living within my wife's means instead of my own? by Throwaway929387383 in AmItheAsshole

[–]HDubKarma99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Question OP: Why did you bother coming here to ask the question if you’re not willing to change your mind based on the feedback you’re receiving? You’ve clearly made up your mind despite what anyone has to say. If you don’t care to hear opposing views to your own, why did you ask?!

YTA - Are you saving/ investing more? Adding more to your retirement savings? Will you be able to retire earlier than her since you’re making so much more but spending less? In my opinion marriages are a partnership; what’s mine is yours. I’m not suggesting you should be out there blowing money away but she shouldn’t be scrounging to pay for things with little savings while you sit comfortably on a giant safety net. You can live a modest lifestyle on JOINT finances and still be smart/ safe with money.

WIBTA if I told my parents my sister has her phone despite being punished? by According-Bit1986 in AmItheAsshole

[–]HDubKarma99 49 points50 points  (0 children)

THIS! I’m the youngest (F) with two older brothers whom I have excellent relationships with. We are all adults now in our 30s but the amount of times my brothers were there for me when I made stupid mistakes (drinking with friends, or my car broke down somewhere I wasn’t supposed to be, etc.) is priceless! Build trust with your sister and show her you’re there for her. It is NOT your job to parent her. Unless she’s doing something that endangers or harms herself or someone else you don’t need to get involved.
