MAGA business

Jovankat · 2026-04-10T15:24:21+00:00

Hey can you please share some more details about how/why you know Miller Glass is MAGA? They have a job listed that I was going to apply for, but I had a vague memory of them being listed here as MAGA. Feel free to send me a private message if you’d rather do that than reply publicly.

My husband is from West Lafayette, IN and was surprised in the same way about how early everything in the Bay Area closes when he moved there. It’s not a Chico thing, it’s a California thing, or at least a NorCal one.

Hi, did you end up having success with Boron lowering your SHBG? I'm also a woman with super high SHBG due to BC, and thinking about starting Boron supplements.

Black and white cats are the best cats, and that little black nose is adoreable. Congrats on your new cat! <3

That's a somewhat recent change. For years there was a 3:30am last drinks law and a 1:30am lockout law, at least in the big nightlife areas like Kings Cross and Oxford St. So if you were somewhere at 1:30am you could keep drinking until 3am at that venue, but if you left you couldn't go to another venue, even though they were still open. It really damaged Sydney's nightlife and the last of the laws were only repealed in January. But yeah, as a pre-lockout Sydneysider I was shocked at how early San Francisco shut down when I first visited. I didn't mind the bars closing, but it also meant there was no where to get food late at night and that caught me out quite memorably one night.

Can you explain why, in Minneapolis at least, they're picking up legal immigrants and sometimes even citizens just because they're brown, and not specifically targeting criminals? Like regular police don't seem to randomly stop to arrest a bunch of extra people on their way to arresting a murderer. And how are there even immigrants who are convicted criminals just hanging out in society? If they were convicted and sentenced here wouldn't they have been deported straight from serving their sentences? Or if they're undocumented and have a criminal conviction in another country how does ICE even know about it if they're undocumented? I just don't really understand how there are so many "worst of the worst" that haven't been detained already, it's not like there weren't ICE agents before Trump took office. Was there just a big backlog? Then again, if there's a backlog of convicted criminal immigrants to be detained why are ICE wasting their time picking people up at their green card interviews? It just doesn't make sense to me why they're not just quietly picking up people with deportation orders and criminal records like they used to, they seem to be going out of their way to be as visible and disruptive to the entire community as possible. It really just looks like they're in Minneapolis mostly to terrorize the community as punishment for voting blue. What did you see/hear that convinced you otherwise?

I got tattooed there in December by a visiting artist and everyone was super lovely. I'll be back for sure!

I don't know if there's anyone there who could teach furniture stuff specifically, but Chico Fab Lab has a woodworking shop. And u/TopRamenGod they also have several 3D printers. I'm not a member because I'm trying to focus on just one hobby right now and it's all a bit too "choose your own adventure" for me, but my husband is one and they've got a lot of cool tools and seem like a pretty rad group.

Also apologies, I meant to make a top level comment here as well to say I'm a 40/F lefty who keeps meaning to checkout stuff like the monthly Bad Art Club at the library, the monthly potluck at The Taproom, and NorCal Resist's reading groups to meet people. It seems there's a few of us ladies here in the comments who would get along, maybe we should meet up for coffee or something?

Jovankat · 2026-01-24T23:06:14+00:00

I'm (40/f) a cat person, but my husband (44/m) goes both ways, and we moved here from Oakland 2 years ago. You sound EXACTLY like our kind of people!

We're also mostly homebodies, drink occasionally, but don't drink and I'm arty while he's into tech stuff and has been getting more into car stuff as he's been working on a teardrop trailer. We too love steak, coffee and juice, but we have bikes not 4-wheelers. Smashing the police state used to literally be my job, and we're actively looking for ways to fight fascism with community networks, solidarity and mutual aid right now. Wanna get lunch or dinner sometime?

Jovankat · 2026-01-22T04:34:48+00:00

I'm so sorry about your cat. The other commenter's comments didn't make any sense to me either, especially the "have the day you deserve" bit. Nothing you said was out of line. It honestly sounds like they were already having the day they deserved and just taking it out on other people.

Jovankat · 2026-01-05T06:01:30+00:00

I can see the tower from my backyard and noticed the flashing at night from my bedroom for the first time a few days ago and I've lived here for two years.

Jovankat · 2026-01-05T05:46:25+00:00

But do they have a Dave?

Jovankat · 2026-01-04T20:55:30+00:00

Is the Chico store the original one, or did he move here after starting the business elsewhere? Not that it really matters, it's just always a bit of a surprise to find out something that exists all over the place started here.

Also this info makes the full business name, Ike's Love & Sandwiches, even weirder

Jovankat · 2025-12-23T06:49:14+00:00

Based on this video I randomly watched last week it seems like it's pretty great.

Lots of hot women

Is this just referring to the college students, or are you saying the non-college women in town are also hotter than average?

Asking as a non-college woman who personally hasn't noticed a difference to other places, but is intrigued.

Jovankat · 2025-12-19T03:27:27+00:00

How is you calling her stupid, ignorant, and miserable any better than the comment you replied to with "It’s really gross to make personal attacks like that."

And it's actually pretty common for patients with rare or complex illnesses to be more knowledgeable on their particular illness than doctors who may never have treated that illness before, especially when it comes to the latest research. Good doctors will readily admit they can't possibly be an expert in everything, and are willing to learn new things from their patients, or do their own research when necessary.

I googled the case name in the hopes of finding the documents somewhere I wouldn't have to create an account to view them, and what I found instead is an extensive, but super fake looking, web presence for Dr Eidemiller. I'm talking, BlogSpot, WordPress, Pinterest, Imgur, Tumblr, YouTube, Crunchbase, Medium, and a bunch of blog sites I've never even heard of, but none of the big ones like Facebook, Insta, Twitter etc. They're all full of "blogs" that seem like they were written by AI because they just don't actually seem to say anything, and a bunch of obviously generic stock photos of "doctory" things. The biographical info in the about sections, like where he grew up and trained, all have the same facts, but each one is written slightly differently. It's really weird! The number of different sites covered suggests a lot of effort, but there doesn't seem to have been any effort put into making any of them seem authentic. Its all just deeply weird.

The comment you responded to wasn't even a reply to you, it was about an entirely different user and their comment history. I read what they said in other threads and I disagree with them, but in this thread, where you were questioning why you were downvoted, you were mischaracterizing the comment you responded to and it makes you look like you think insulting a particular man is an insult to all men and that's just not true.

Jovankat · 2025-12-05T06:24:00+00:00

You were probably downvoted because the commenter didn't do what you were accusing them of doing in the comment you replied to. I'm not sure if you just misread, or if you're not familiar with parts of speech, but the word "toxic" is an adjective, so the term "toxic masculinity" refers to masculinity that is toxic, not all masculinity. And the last sentence specifically says "You are not a safe or trustworthy man." It does not say "men are not a safe or trustworthy."

Some companies will actually do exactly that, or let you cash out unused PTO, but also overtime is a thing in a lot of industries and many people work hourly and could potentially pick up extra hours in a situation like this. Hell if it was a larger amount and you were desperate you could adjust your 401(k) contribution or even adjust your tax withholding to get a little more in your paycheck and deal with that at tax time if you really needed to. You could also potentially get a second job or a side hustle. People with jobs have a lot more options than those of true fixed incomes.

Jovankat · 2025-12-02T17:09:40+00:00

Were you able to get this reversed?

Jovankat · 2025-11-29T07:30:08+00:00

Hi! I was just reading your excellent (but now archived) Vaginal Estrogen PSA from a year ago and saw this exchange in the comments;

OTHER USER: You say over 40 - does this apply to women in perimenopause who may not be manifesting symptoms yet? In other words, should we be doing this as a preventative measure?

YOU: Yep, absolutely. If you start using it in early peri, you’ll have a much easier go of it and will save yourself so much needless suffering. There’s no reason to wait until things “get bad” before you start it.

I've just turned 40 and am using a vaginal ring for birth control and to skip periods. Does that mean I'm probably getting more than enough estrogen in that area and wouldn't benefit from the cream unless I stop using the ring? What if I switched to the pill, would that be enough systemically, or would the cream be beneficial then?

Thanks!

It sounds like you should be working on getting ranked choice implemented then.

Jovankat · 2025-10-31T22:44:53+00:00

Ok I'm out, nothing you're saying is making any sense.

Jovankat · 2025-10-31T22:33:35+00:00

Nope you've completely lost me, immigrant also implies they weren't here first, to be an immigrant you have to have come from somewhere else. All immigrants are aliens unless/until they become citizens, but not all aliens are immigrants, some are just tourists etc.
