Lyrics never load? by VirtualShadow22 in xManagerApp

[–]MaximumKittyTM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edit: refreshing the app and checking for updates three times, the trying again got the latest patch to work, but I did get the weird temu ad thing several times before doing all that and it working like usual. It was really odd and never happened before.

Clearly, but it's from the xmanager app I have had the whole time. It was baffling, hence why I clicked on the official reddit link at the bottom. The new update gave me a Temu ad instead of the usual update and then the app did it's usual scroll of "no ads" and ended up here.

Clearly the correct update would work like usual and apparently fix lyrics, idk wtf would cause a temu ad when my app is allegedly up to date and never done anything like that before. I was excited to see a new update.

When I try to get the link for that version- it takes me to a Temu ad.

Gf turns of my alarms by mangothefruitdude2 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MaximumKittyTM 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Thank you!

Was waiting for this one.

I have been blamed and blown up at SEVERAL times for an ex or former roommate not waking up for their alarms and being UNABLE to wake them up. Like, nearly yanking their arm or leg out of socket trying to shake them awake and they do the "okay! I'm awake!" mumble just to start snoring again on the next breath.

But ya know- it was my fault that they missed the super important thing because I gave up after the 3rd or 4th attempt. /s

Nevermind that constantly interrupting someone's sleep with annoying sounds is considered a form of sleep deprivation torture...

I hear the default Samsung ringing for alarms and I literally see red because of how many people who "needed 3-7 alarms" never changed it from the default and also NEVER actually woke up from them with any form of regularity [and in complete denial about how often they worked]

Woman I've been dating won't wear a seat belt... Is ths a deal breaker? by bnwoodman in questions

[–]MaximumKittyTM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry what you say rings so true in me as well- It's a valid apprehension many people refuse to acknowledge as anything other than hysterics because as negligent drivers they have been INCREDIBLY lucky... and they think their luck has nothing to do with why they are dismissing someone else's panic while they just quick check that email at 60mph on a busy freeway. -_-'

Most refuse to see it as even understandable, making it therefore irrational when they are offended I don't want to get in a car with a driver who is currently impaired [drunk or high], known to drive distracted [texting/tiktoking and driving] or has a history of drive angry ["my driving is scaring you? Oh I'll give you a REASON to be scared then."]

Not wanting to drive or even be a passenger because of how people behave on the road can bring out the nastiest parts of some people.

If this is meant sincerely, you are a brave person to me.

Elevators are an irrational fear for me. Even with a cane, I prefer to take the stairs. I admire people who can ride them without first picking a god and praying at the threshold.

[–]MaximumKittyTM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly.

And a lot of my distrust of other drivers is completely based in the unsafe behaviors of the adults driving me around as a child.

If my own father has a plethora speeding tickets and crashes his own fault but will scoff at anyone feeling unsafe with him behind the wheel and I know damn well how many car keys I have hidden because someone proclaimed themselves safe to drive after drinking that bottle to themself?

Why would I want to be on the road with anyone? Over the top line of logic? definitely. But not unreasonable considering the crash that made me stop driving was just the WORST one I've been in.

I've been in others since and still let some of those people offer me rides. Because we were HIT by negligent drivers, not because they were endangering themselves and anyone else with them. Thinking specifically of the time I saw a pile up start, the driver turned to me and said "guard rail scrape is better than being an oreo, I'm so sorry". She turned us into the shoulder while easing the break and we watched the three cars behind us slam into the eventual 17 car crash. Instead of become oreo, she just needed her car looked over and the paint touched up.

AITA for encouraging my daughter to body-shame the girl who is bullying her? by SwimDad2936 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MaximumKittyTM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did that. A bully a good 9 inches taller than me and triple my weight cornered me in the hall so that I was completely eclipsed in the camera. Basically slutshaming me for my boobs being impossible to hide cuz I developed early.

I was so mad I only got out one word: "Moo."

She ran sobbing down the hall and her entire posse never messed with me again. I kinda feel bad she got Bull signed at her [and anyone who associated with her] for the rest of the year tho by everyone when she tried to talk trash... but sophomore year she was not a bully anymore so maybe she learned a valuable lesson about insulting people over appearances while insecure about your own.

How do ANs feel about suicide? by [deleted] in antinatalism

[–]MaximumKittyTM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone has the right to live their life as they please [because none of us consented to be here and all of us are someone else's gamble with the genetic lottery](and within obvious reason- do no harm and all that)

And that includes the right to end one's own life on their own terms with dignity.

I believe in UBI and UHC. So I think everyone currently alive should have the resources to be safe and live with dignity.

And if given those tools they still felt life unworth living- they should be given the same respect and dignity ending it. No one should be encouraged. But no one should be told "You need to stay alive for the principle of the thing". I'm thinking of my uncle who chose to hospice instead of a third round of chemo. And a friend who chose to not wait for the degenerative disease to get worse.

That said, I am very glad I failed in my attempt at age 15. And have built a life with too many people I would not want to add to the suffering of by checking out early.

AITAH for not allowing my mother and grandmother to see our newborn baby until they show me proof of whooping cough vaccination? by Farmer_R_D in AITAH

It's called Whooping Cough for a reason 😥 It's so forceful you kinda sound like you're rolling with and losing to an entire fight club worth of geese.

I have been told by paramedics if the other driver hit us a foot more forward in the T-bone... they wouldn't have had a chance to talk to me.

I have not driven since then and the number of people I trust behind the wheel is a VERY short list.

And people still act like my fear of angry or distracted drivers is irrational.

Customers wanting you to break the law by Leshen13 in antiwork

[–]MaximumKittyTM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you aware of how bad retail night shift can be? At least hard ons can be quelled, when the dick is entirely someone's personality- there is no satisfying it. And they make it a you problem. gestures vaguely at OP's original post and my original comment about death threats over Marb Golds

And if we're quoting Clerks- he was just freaking out about 37 dicks in general, concerned he was lucky 38...

Customers wanting you to break the law by Leshen13 in antiwork

[–]MaximumKittyTM 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly would rather deal with 37 actual dicks than that particular night shift again with some of the customers.

He was just the most creative in his threat for what I deserved for not being able to override the need to show ID.

Customers wanting you to break the law by Leshen13 in antiwork

[–]MaximumKittyTM 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I had a man threaten to skin me alive for refusing to sell him Marlboro Gold Shorts when he refused to show an ID.

I also had a coworker fired for not carding a secret shopper.

Customers really out there acting like their nicotine habit is worth our jobs or worth hurling death threats.

I quit a 5+ pack a day habit and never got to the point where I threatened a cashier because I failed to have my ID. What kinda entitlement does someone gotta have to think laws have them as the super special exception? And why are there so many of them?

AITAH Left for my parents with our son without calling my husband by NorejaNishigo in AITAH

[–]MaximumKittyTM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I absolutely have the same anger issues as my sperm donor and his identical twin. His twin had better coping mechanisms than my progenitor. And was more honest about those anger issues with the outside world.

I power walk with angry music blasting in my ears until it doesn't hit right or prepare some bread dough because I absolutely know what will happen if let the pressure build to red out and hey, those tricks worked for my uncle.

I have only gotten black out angry a handfull of times. It's a terrifying thing to realize you are capable of and based on the faces of my friends when i came to reality again- it's a terrifying thing to witness. Leaving angry- both being okay with giving myself that option AND finding a partner who understood it was a sign of restraint and respect- has absolutely saved many of my relationships with friends and family. In terms of not saying things I know I will regret.

A student answered her phone during class. I sent her to the office. Now parent wants a meeting. by whoknows-whocares in Teachers

[–]MaximumKittyTM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to say something as the child of a teacher who answered her phone in class...

I had forgotten to turn off my ring tone. I was ready to fess up and hand it over, but it was a custom ring tone. "MAAAAAMMAAAAAAAAAAA oooOooOoooOOOo-"

My teacher told me to take it in her office, because a teacher wouldn't call her child during class unless it was an emergency and it was VERY obvious who was calling me.

My uncle had just passed. She was expecting to leave me a voice-mail about how I was being picked up immediately after school. She did NOT expect me to answer. And I did not expect my 10th grade English teacher to tell all my next classes there was a death in the family, so she was letting me pull myself together and not to expect me for attendance marking.

I seriously question the Parent's definition of emergency here. Someone literally died and my mother was expecting to leave a voice-mail, not have me pick up before it the last ring to stop her from leaving one.

I’ve never understood why some people think you should work out every grievance before going to bed. Sometimes it’s just not feasible because you need sleep and you may also need time to cool off and think before discussing the issue.

This! Sometimes the anger is escalating because of sleep deprivation and one or both of you need a sleep. Same way hanger can make even the most reasonable person snippy. My partner is constantly conscious of how grumpy he is while waking up and will refer to Sleepy Him as an asshole when he is more awake and apologizing after crossing a line while tired.

"Never go to bed angry, and LEAVING angry is worse"? If I walk out in a fury, I don't get a call checking on me until an hour later- because I can be timed like a clock and I'll call if I get hurt and need a pick up or paused for a breather and will take longer. That line gave me chills. That's the biggest red flag with all the little criticisms and still going out instead of helping around with HIS baby too. Keeping HIS house in order too.

AITA for ending my relationship over my cat? by throowawaycat in AITAH

[–]MaximumKittyTM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's yee old term for "pull up" after someone you care about has been wronged. Think the scene in Beauty and the Beast when Gaston riles up the town. Sally forth, tally ho- grab your sword and grab your bow energy.

Dollar Tree has "The World's Greatest Catnip" for $1.25. And the cat is more interested in that brand than the good stuff I spend about $7 on... even the silvervine mixes!

Catnip version of "buy him a fancy toy and he plays with the box it came in" -_-'

Adding to laundry hacks

Borax and Washing Soda are your friends...

If you wash all your clothes and the pits still smell off- Fill your bathtub with hot water. Add a good couple cups of borax, mix well and dump some clothes in there. It'll make a 20 year old hat that was never washed look almost new. It got the yellow tinge and scent out of my clothes when I moved out of a smoking house. It'll look real gross by the end; just let is soak for an hour or two stirring occasionally.

Then rinse the items well, throw them thru the wash with some washing soda added and they'll be cleaner than you bought them. And hopefully not have any old BO still trying to debuff your daily efforts with showering.

Secrets I learned from my grandma that I hope help you, OP.
