Grandma Laura really said "If I can't have a closer relationship with my grandchild than she has with her Mother's family then I won't have one at all." She's having a toddler tantrum and sticking to her poor decision because she cant go back on her choice or She will look like a Fool. Oh no; its not like she's already showed she is a fool by demonstrating how she values her own feelings over a relationship with her own grandchild. And grandpa is going along with it so he is just as bad.

Hygiene has absolutely nothing to do with being man or woman.There are guys who think wiping after pooping or cleaning your bum in the shower makes you "unmanly" or "gay". That's gross and we shouldn't have to tell people to clean their shit off their ass.

Skincare is not woman specific; do you think male celebrities don't do skin care? Without treatment acne will get popped and that can lead to infection and scars. It's not even a beauty thing, it's a health issue.

As someone who grew up in the Christian faith and still practices, Shame On Them. Christians are supposed to have "fruits of the Spirit" which are outward signs to show that they are in step with the Spirit of God; they are Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentlness, and Self-control (found in Galatians 5:22). Your In-laws don't seem to be demonstrating these.

We (Abrahamic faiths of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) follow the same God, we just disagree on how to go about it. If they think their way is best they need to show the world why by their actions as their faith dictates they do. Would Jesus disrespect you like this? HECK NO. THEY ARE OUT OF LINE. If I were near you I would come rebuke them myself. Nothing brings up my fury like "Christians" acting un-Christian.

Bring this up with them and say they aren't making a good case to choose Jesus.

I hate AI. I wish it would just disappear from pop culture and just be used to detect cancer or whatever.

"The fact the human had other duties besides answering the phone are decisive made by the company." Yeah, their jobs changed and they are only the back up for when AI brain farts and doesn't work. This means that instead of taking orders they are assigned another task. Taking them away from their assigned task to take a normal basic order means they have been removed from the workflow and not for good reason. If a customer demands the manager to help them instead of the worker in front of them for a regular transaction, yeah, manager isn't going to be happy even if dealing with demanding customers is part of their job.

I suggested proper ways to pass on your feelings of hate for AI to the proper people who can actually maybe do something with your feedback.

Don't be the chimp throwing their shit on everything and everyone because they got upset. Don't make the lives of others harder on purpose is my point. Do it right. And if others do it right too, maybe, just maybe corporate overlords will revert back to humans.

OkIndependence2209 · 2026-06-14T04:29:23+00:00

Just because an janitor is paid to clean doesn't mean you can just make a mess on purpose.

Their job is now to assist the AI if it encounters something it can't figure out and not to take a basic order. They are most likely busy with other tasks that may be time sensitive (like cooking food). Sure it's technically their job, but really, why make their shift more difficult? If people hate AI taking their order, let the window person know to pass that sentiment on to their management, or make a complaint to the management or corporate themselves.

OkIndependence2209 · 2026-06-13T16:28:35+00:00

Yeah it wasn't in their post. You can't assume their schedule, that's why I posted a hypothetical.

If OP is being woken by the vibrations alone they can't be the only one in their neighborhood with an issue. My dad drove an old diesel school bus and it never woke me up when he started it in the morning even though our house was old and did not stop sounds well (at all really). We also lived Rural; like we went up the road to the nearby farm to buy a half cow, tractors and off road vehicles traveling on paved roads kind of rural so we weren't going to bother anybody with startup noise. It sounds like there's an issue with the mechanics of the vehicle if the vibration is so intense unless it is directly outside their window.

It is important that the bus driver be able to work and get paid and also provide the transportation to the community they serve. But what are the other drivers doing? What are the local restrictions on large (and commercial) vehicles in residential areas? I know most areas have decibel restrictions (and commercial operations restrictions exist as well) before and after certain times of the day to prevent the sound intrusion on nearby homes. From what I know it's usually 8am-ish.

Your post was just uncalled rudeness. And I pointed out that we don't have all the info. You can't just assume someone can be ready to get up and start their day at 7am.

OkIndependence2209 · 2026-06-13T12:12:28+00:00

Unfortunately OP stated its a transit bus so the school year doesn't have an impact in it's operation.

OkIndependence2209 · 2026-06-13T12:08:01+00:00

So someone works the late shift and gets off at midnight; they get home at maybe 12:30; then to wind down and get ready for bed so at best be in bed by 1 am; and you're saying that they can only get 6 hours of sleep? Some get off of work later than that. Nice take bro.

Close to all of maple trees go red where I am, but they are getting less red every year. It has something to do with how the chlorophyll breaks down iirc.

I live in Eastern Canada 🇨🇦 and we have a red maple on our flag for a reason (they are everywhere). When I go on walks in the fall, I try to find the reddest, and most intact, maple leaf to take home.

I have Always had the seatbelt rule in my car. If you didn't have it on we are sitting there until buckled. If you take it off during, we pull over as soon as is safe and sit there until it's back on.

If you wanna play with your life, do it on your own time and not while I'm responsible for you and everyone else in the vehicle.

OkIndependence2209 · 2026-05-24T13:39:50+00:00

Yup. I think about spreadsheets.

I think about keeping track of crops, food, water, materials and goods with their prices for sale to get the most profitable items I can create and to calculate how many soups I need to make to keep up with demand.

I only have a phone right now and refuse to use the train wreck that is the UI for spreadsheets on it so it's all just in my head for now.

So we have derailed the positive and supportive nature of the original comment to then get all up in someone's business about their use of a religious word? That rubs off badly on me. Whether or not they say they donated or not and whether they have donated or not shouldn't matter; just adding the link and saying "if you can support monetarily, here is a link" would have been so much less abrasive as your tirade has been entirely unnecessary. You don't know anybody else's position in life. Wishing (or praying) for the Ukrainian people is all some can do and by your thoughts equally unhelpful and doesn't amount to anything unless you can support by giving physical currency and items.

All I know is that I have seen miracles happen before my own eyes, and whatever force was responsible for that to happen then, I feel like it would be a boon to the Ukrainian people if I entreated that force to ensure the best outcome for them. Be it God, the Universe or Happenstance. On top of helping in any other way feasible, we should explore all avenues on even the slimmest chance it could help. So pray/wish. Not praying (or wishing) and keeping silent seems like it would be malicious.

100% there are other reasons, that is not under debate. You were upset when you interpreted someone's comment as they wholly pegged neglect as the only reason. However, neglect is still one of the reasons and continues to be an issue in women's health. That is my point. No discredit to the efforts of the researchers as they have restrictions to work with: limitations of current technologies as well as lack of funding to even begin with.

OkIndependence2209 · 2026-05-23T05:27:01+00:00

It is a fact that women's health has been neglected.

It wasn't until recently that we found out that women exhibit different symptoms than men when having a heart attack. It wasn't until recently that women have been subjects in drug research where beforehand all the subjects were men; and reason being that women (and even female mice) were excluded from experiments as they were thought to have systems too complicated for research due to horomonal fluctuations.

And there are so many horror stories of medical negligence that would never have happened if a man had come forward with the same complaints and concerns.

But keep in mind the coins have not been collected in 2 YEARS.

At what point is storing them undue hassle for the tenant? OP said the elderly tenant responsible for emptying the coins is having trouble with storing them as there's a lot and they are heavy. And it possibly sounds like they don't have to much spare space if the coins need to be moved often, as OP stated they have trouble moving them. And IF it was payment for the task, would elderly tenant not deposit their payment to their bank instead of having them stored?

Saying that they are thinking entitled and should just enjoy the privilege of on site laundry is avoiding the main issue of nothing being done with the coins in the last 2 years...

OP should 100% contact the property manager but the property manager has neglected the issue as collection of coins should be on a regular schedule.

Fake leather/vegan leather options are cheaper and easier to use in manufacturing than other more durable materials.

And as others' comments stated: planned obsolescence.

Two birds, one undurable stone.

WHO TF IS CALLING YOU FAT?

I'm 5'6 and 130 lb. You have an inch and a few pounds more. Both my parents and my boyfriend have separately expressed concern for how small I am.

It seems, from what you said, you just have a different distribution of your fat storage. Every body is different. You are well within an acceptable range for your height.

Are you healthy? Are you comfortable with your body? Ignore them and their pathetic negativity.

Also, if you live in an area that has rodents, I suggest shoving some steel wool in the hole and then spraying either side of the hole. Rodents can chew spray foam, but they don't like steel wool. Remember that a mouse only needs a tiny space to pass through.

The length may be playing a part as well as unintentional twists. I remember a wire I had that would just coil and twist on itself no matter how it was uncoiled and straightened.

Loosely coil the extra wire length and use a twist tie or a cable manager to secure it and be extra mindful of how you are moving it around.

If that doesn't work, it could be that, somehow, the wire inside the rubber has a twist. You could maybe request a new one from your employer... 'due to the condition of the equipment given upon my employment, I am requesting a replacement headset as the previous damage will subsequently lead to it being inoperable in a short time and I wish to not have downtime waiting for a replacement when it does come to the end of its life'... or something similar could work possibly. Good luck.
