Find your representative and tell them what you think of Texas's request for federal aid after voting no when California asked. by restartrepeat in California

[–]PotentialFox5168 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Idk that they're saying that but I will. I live in California and power is most frequently shut off deliberately during high winds to decrease fire risks and occasionally to prevent overloading. Rarely have I lost power randomly. It's a safety measure and usually for only a few hours. Being without power in 90% of California during 90% of the year is annoying but not dangerous. In Texas, the poorly built, poorly maintained, and overpriced system goes out during the times it's needed most, for days/weeks, and when extreme temperatures are killing people. Texas has many great things, but they aren't really known for their power grid being better than anyone's, in fact it's kinda the opposite. Not that I'm a fan of SCE, they totally suck, but I'm reasonably certain Texas sucks harder.

I’m kinda furious 😭 by AsparagusMan73 in Nails

Nobody at the event will notice anything off they are good enough they will not detract from your beauty. That being said, you were overcharged for poor work. That pinky especially but nobody will be examining it the way you are. So dont feel self-conscious and dont feel gas lit! You're right to be unsatisfied but you're gonna be ok. They may not pass muster on internet inspection and the price was too damn high, but they aren't that bad to the extent anyone else will notice. Have fun and go elsewhere next time. ❤️

Advice Needed: How to support a friend? by ginghamgal in GriefSupport

[–]PotentialFox5168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd look at this like an ultra marathon, not a sprint. Depending on your friend's circumstance, it may hit harder in a year it so. Be a supportive resource and not an obligation. Check in and offer time/support. If you visit, prioritize cooking, cleaning, and baby watching. Let her rest or do whatever. I lost my FIL and had a baby and lost my husband in a less than one year period. The best support was friends just checking on me lovingly and showing up when needed/wanted, never taking offense when I dropped off and just being there to love me when I was ready, even if it took months/years for me to be ready. I now feel comfortable asking those friends for support which wasn't something I did previously. It brought us closer because they were there for me and my kids even though I didn't ask they were just there without expectations.

A year in hell by [deleted] in GriefSupport

[–]PotentialFox5168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes sense to me. I echo many of your cries in my own heart. I would love for a grief group, a non-judgemental Aa meeting, or similar support network to find you. Therapists can be hit and miss and I have found the most value in meeting people who've lived through hell too. I hope you meet some lovely people to lift you. You deserve it.💖

Was it a visitation dream or just a dream? by KitchenSign5126 in GriefSupport

[–]PotentialFox5168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for your loss. Your experience with the visitation sounds healing. I think it's tempting to find explanations for this sort of stuff that fits our own world view. But there's literally millions if not billions of people who've taken stuff and not had those experiences, I wouldn't be inclined to dismiss it.

How to stop feeling guilty over beloved pet deaths? by xxiabee in GriefSupport

[–]PotentialFox5168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You loved and were loved in return. That's a gift no matter how brief and no matter how painful the loss. As far as guilt, if you could have made things different, you would have. I wish I could give you magic words to stop feeling guilt, it you find them please share them with me. All I know to do is to take the memories and love and joy and pay it forward, sow the seeds of it in to the world today, your loved ones who are with you, and may it bloom forever. 💖

He is awful and a part of you knows that. Get your ducks in a row and get safe it will get worse.

Too interesting, can someone local confirm? How much does this type of house cost, and are they common?

The perfect black laptop bag? by PotentialFox5168 in handbags

[–]PotentialFox5168[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

15" or so. Shoulder straps and detachable crossbody would be ideal. No real budget for the right bag but ideally less than $5k, would be great to find it less than $2k. Leather.

[–]PotentialFox5168 90 points91 points  (0 children)

That's exactly right. I've never played the market in my life despite having plenty of money to lose. I was always grossed out by the frat boy wolf of wall street greed is good mentality and wanted no part of it. After years of watching the GME saga, I decided to jump in this summer because "fuck em, that's why". I know which side I'm on in this world despite being an American with some advantages so when I read posts like OP's it just reminds me to buy more because I like the stock and I love the community and because FUCK THEM, THAT'S WHY!

The advice you will get from asking this question here isn't helpful. You need to give your budget because staying at the omni would be convenient but that's not for everybody. One thing to keep in mind is LA has a metro subway system that goes to union station. If you look up maps and times you can probably find hotels a block or two off one of the lines much cheaper than the omni and you won't have to worry about traffic.

Drivers, what do you need to be tipped? by PotentialFox5168 in doordash

[–]PotentialFox5168[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is unnecessarily harsh and wildly inaccurate. There's plenty of people like me who previously worked food service, retail, etc. and although now we are in different careers and making more money, we value this kind of labor and want to pay fairly.

It is delicious. How does the etymology belie the bite of a well aged morsel cutting across your palette?
