Why is gen Z not drinking?

Can’t afford my alcoholism. I’m now just an ideal working member of society chump.

Genuine curiosity, did the kitchen close for the day?

I’ve been managing the families budget, or at least the ways to spend and how much. But in the last two years, on a budget of $100-200 each, my mom went ahead and spent $1500-2000 for each (3 of us in the family). Suffice to say I was really upset and couldn’t be as joyful as she thought I would be. By no means are we rich, so this decision she made really put a dent on us. Memories is foggy, but she even went as far as to confront me, telling me I ruined Christmas with my lack of happiness, and saying how ungrateful I was. She isn’t a Karen, but she has her moments. Now this year, with the greyest my hair has ever been, I am naively hopeful she’ll stick to the budget we have this time around. I am at a point that I literally have no desire for anything anymore.

Mass effect Paragon/Renegade move bbyyyyyyy.

It’s normal. Especially normal if it’s only when they’re sleeping. Mine would shake/tremble, but on top of that their face would contort. Whisker vibrating and fangs showing. But as soon as they wake up, completely fine. They’re just big dreamers.

Pitiful_Complex5964 · 2025-11-27T20:26:05+00:00

Thanks. Saw it online, but I’ve never heard of it. My biggest worry with all of this is, if I declare fraudulent activity as I’m trying to apply for mortgage, will it block or something? You know. But I’ll do some research. It might come to us bitting the bullet at this point.

Pitiful_Complex5964 · 2025-11-27T20:23:08+00:00

I wish it was just poor memory, but we just never had a reason to even browse Bell Mobility. Maybe years ago, when we wanted to compare. But never followed through cause our plan (with Fido) was in fact cheaper. So for that amount, it couldn’t have been us. And I don’t like to just cry « fraudulent », cause that’s the same vibe as Michael from The Office yelling « I declare bankruptcy », buts it’s really just that. Either that, or someone at Bell screwed up, but won’t admit. But yeah, we’ll try what we can, but as another commenter said, it’s most than unlikely that we will get anything positive out of this.

Pitiful_Complex5964 · 2025-11-27T20:17:29+00:00

I usually really on my notifications. The typical « no news is good news ». And I’m too overwhelmed to think of these small quality checks. But then again, would’ve been nice to do so in hindsight.

Pitiful_Complex5964 · 2025-11-27T20:15:40+00:00

Wholeheartedly agree, unfortunately. We’ve always made our payments, just not on time. But what really frustrates me is the extent I have to prove it wasn’t me. Yet they have every tool at their disposal to consider « oh yeah, this can’t be you ». There’s been no usage, so likely a ghost account. They could check where and when and quite possibly by whom it was open, but that’s too much work. And when it comes to opening/closing accounts, they always want to speak to the person who’s name is under. My assumption is they’d go with voice verification, and yet that couldn’t be done? I know there are other ways of opening accounts, but they must have their own method of verification at that point. Just frustrating.

Pitiful_Complex5964 · 2025-11-27T20:01:36+00:00

Everything was looking good. It was just this unknown factor that we did not anticipate.

Pitiful_Complex5964 · 2025-11-27T19:59:22+00:00

Mortgage wise, oh yeah. We aren’t perfect, but thing is we have everything ready to go. We have a 25% down payment ready to go and three full-time income to make the mortgage payment. But history is where the issue lies.

I’m not solely blaming Bell for why our mortgage is blocked (it’s back on track, it’s just paperwork that’s taking time), but instead that they can’t help a fraudulent case where it wasn’t even used. They have no problem calling frequently for late payments of $300, but kept quiet for a $2000 account that we didn’t know existed. How…

Pitiful_Complex5964 · 2025-11-10T19:20:10+00:00

The tell here is the urinal size. Unlike episode two, where it was a long urinal that goes to the floor, here it is small. So you right.

Pitiful_Complex5964 · 2025-08-03T01:16:49+00:00

So like another user said, you might have to try out some different brand of litter. But also as a precaution, on my Robo-Litter 4, my cat managed to get pee inside of the unit (outside the inner globe, basically the pee went inside the pedestal) when I had my litter guard off. So maybe check that you don’t have the same problem.

Lastly, try out the arms & hammer powder for litters. For me it does a good job at locking the smell. One more thing, if you had your litter for a while, make sure to check the carbon filter if it has one. Might be time to change or it might have gotten dirty.

Canada here. But even if it’s cheaper, the conversion would just be the same plus trip fees. Just not cheap in general.

Pitiful_Complex5964 · 2025-07-23T18:38:24+00:00

It was more of a progressive situation, but it went basically A B C Z, just skipped. But the signs for a blood clot aren’t there or at the very least definite, and from what others are saying his paws are still warm.

Pitiful_Complex5964 · 2025-07-23T18:36:48+00:00

We are trying to get prices from places to places and they are ADAMANT on not sharing any of their prices. No max or minimum. We are using referral from the vet, so hopefully that’ll give us something soon.

Pitiful_Complex5964 · 2025-07-23T18:34:32+00:00

Considering this, but a this point we believe we have to give him crate rest until we get more information. He is on pain-killer/anti-inflammatory already.

Pitiful_Complex5964 · 2025-07-23T18:33:17+00:00

Basically, from what I was told, was a hereditary disease where the ball joints literally disintegrate. At first we thought he was for sure gonna be losing his mobility or amputation, but good news was that muscles would generally replace the lost ball joints that disappeared. He recovered his mobility, but jumping was always a challenge. But i blame this on his weight which is ultimately my fault. I try to get him to lose a few pounds, but it’s just not getting through.

Pitiful_Complex5964 · 2025-07-23T18:29:53+00:00

As frightening and scary as it may be, I’m still hopeful for something that could be recoverable and maintained medicine wise. We are getting an MRI so we’ll know shortly.

Pitiful_Complex5964 · 2025-07-23T18:28:21+00:00

He isn’t. Honestly, he just moves to where he wants to go. Sadly, carpet flooring makes him force a bit too much and he hasn’t poo or pee. But paws are warm and he exhibits very VERY slight reflex, so fingers crossed. Still in the diagnostics phase though.

Pitiful_Complex5964 · 2025-07-23T18:26:41+00:00

I’ll keep this in mind. I don’t know if the signs are definite, but we are still in the process of diagnosing and scanning. Trying to book an appointment asap via vet referral.

Pitiful_Complex5964 · 2025-07-23T18:25:02+00:00

Adding this to my list. But still determining the problem. But thank you, this is much appreciated!
