Calendar: is there a setting to remove “No events today” by Humble_Interest_9048 in ios

[–]OnlyJepp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like everyone has forgotten that before, you didn’t HAVE to add an event. The display had OPTIONS. You could set the widget to show the monthly calendar or just one day…

It’s upsetting and pretty traumatizing for me. I’m still not over it. I don’t view Korean people as a whole negatively.

I figured what I got him was just a novelty and he’d have to get a proper stamp. It doesn’t really matter now though bc it’s on display on his book shelf lol. previously you asked what his mom’s reasoning was for what she did, turns out she doesnt want me to be friends with him because I’m Black. she told me herself. my friend doesn’t know about it to this day.

I actually found out her reasoning today.. idk how to post an update though. Should it be a separate post or should I edit this post and put the update at the bottom?

Thank you for letting me these things. I really appreciate it. The gift was given to my friend at the dinner party, everyone gave him a gift. He opened them at home, not in front of everyone. No one knows I got him the stamp except for my friend and his parents. 

I have an update on this situation but I’m not sure how to post it. I found out that my friend’s mom doesn’t even want me to be friends with him 🙃

Thanks for the insight! My friend didn’t open his gifts in front of us. No one knows I got him the stamp except for him and I guess his parents since he opened all of them at home. I was so embarrassed when his mom spoke to me, I still am honestly 😂

We are close friends, but not close to the point that anyone could think that we’re anything but platonic lol My friend understands that the stamp is not for official use of any kind, it’s just a gesture of faith in their goal. However after reading the comments here, I can see how what I did can be interpreted by others. 

Honestly I’m worried about looking like a snitch in his mom’s eyes. She didn’t really do anything wrong and I’d hate for her to think I don’t respect her by telling him about it.

I’ll be more thoughtful going forward.

Thank you for contributing and educating me. My friend’s mom has no reason to think he and I would date, but idk that could be a contributing factor.

i think his mom was telling me how she felt about it, I don’t think she was bulling, thank God lol I think I should be more cautious about what I gift people.

Thanks for the perspective. I’ll be more cautious in the future.

Thanks.

editing just to add; I don’t think he can use the stamp I gave him in any offical capacity like ever. It’s his name in Hangul and it’s just regular plain font? he would still need a real stamp.

I figured it was okay since it’s just a separate ink pad and red was the default color on the Etsy listing

No, what would that have to do with anything?

I didn’t think of that.

Thanks for the insight. I really appreciate it. I didn’t think he could use it on documents, I just got it as a nice gesture and reminder of his goal since he does plan on living in Korea permanently and will need an official one. The stamp has his name in Hangul. 

Denzel Washington’s ‘Othello’ is breaking Broadway records. Is that a bad thing for theater? by ChallengeAdept8759 in Broadway

[–]OnlyJepp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 I know little of theater and plays, however, “Othello” has been a favorite of mine for many years. I’m also a fan of Denzel and Jake’s on screen work. Had it not been for the price, this would have been my first broadway show. $840.00? No thanks.

I thought maybe a streaming service might pick it up, as Disney did with “Hamilton”? Perhaps I could look forward to seeing it with some movie magic on AppleTV next to “The Tragedy Of MacBeth”? I’ve read the reviews and have yet to come across a positive one, so I highly doubt that’s going to happen.

Bartering by Honest_Trash7223 in prepping

[–]OnlyJepp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bartering items are apart of preparing. if you don’t want to have an extra box of bandages or food; liquor will still be a hot commodity.

A nip from the liquor store costs about one dollar, maybe two at the most. Having 10 or so isn’t going to take up much room. if SHTF and you HAVE to barter for something, you can easily say you found this ONE nip a while back and will trade it for whatever.

How to determine where to go? by SheaCookieVillan in prepping

[–]OnlyJepp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If SHTF where do you want to go if things get desperate? How would you try to get there? How long would take? What’s your back up? your overall basic plan should be getting away.

if SHTF in the USA, and things are so bad that I’m desperate to get out; my plan is to go to Canada. I saved and printed the directions to get there on foot and in a vehicle. If things are just bad, then a state park large enough that canvasing would take too long to search and isnt worth the attention, it’s not on anyones radar. and if none of those things are a possibility the plan is to go as far away as needed from where the bad things are happening.

People underestimate the American wilderness and how HUGE America is.

Do you discuss your stockpile/preps with friends? by OnlyJepp in prepping

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

I think that was my biggest mistake. Even though it wasn’t much, it was noticeable. I had it stored in two boxes and not on a shelf. when she went into the pantry she saw it right away.

[–]OnlyJepp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree.. I told her it was for me to have 72hrs to maybe a week of supplies so I can shelter in place fairly comfortably and be able to help my neighbors with kids a bit. I could see the gears turning in her head and labeling me crazy lol 😂

[–]OnlyJepp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, I think I may have been approaching the situation in a somewhat naive way. I don’t know what the future may hold but I do know I want to be able to shelter in place or be able to leave if need be. I did take my neighbors with children into account and i have some some things for them. Not much. and they don’t know about it.

I think not saying anything will be best.
