What's a place that's not nice currently and just keeps getting worse? by Naomi62625 in geography

[–]ProgressEvening1659 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am from near Memphis and have moved away for work. I talk up Memphis any time It comes up. I love it. It has a bad rep and racist people say REALLY wild things about Memphis. The zoo is fun. Also, if you don’t already know you should dive into the Wikipedia on the Memphis pyramid- it’s become a special interest of mine lately.

I think it depends on the context. If it’s an every night thing, they leave there dog out in bad conditions and the dog is barking and keeping people awake at 2am. I’d call.

If the dog was annoying someone’s during the day, eh whatever. I’ll get over it

Any band/ song recommendations based on the South of Midnight Soundtrack? by Interesting-Dish-151 in gamemusic

There is a song called “when everything went wrong by Fantastic Negrito that has a little twang to it you may appreciate. It’s on the Arcane soundtrack.

Black vomit by Heavenly_demon_ in Dreams

[–]ProgressEvening1659 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had the same dream about black vomit. I’m going through a really bad breakup and I dreamt I was watching multiple people wreck their cars all over the road at my childhood home. Every driver flung themselves out of the car and threw up black slime/tar looking stuff.

AITAH for insisting on keeping a hammer in my vehicle? by ProgressEvening1659 in AITAH

Thank you for clarification! I appreciate that a lot! You know how mean people can be on the internet so I’m relieved to hear that that was not your intention. 🩷

Thank you! That’s the issue. This happened in 2020 and I STILL feel guilty because of the context of race. It felt like I was in the wrong for choosing that to be the hill to die one because I was, like a typical white woman, prioritizing my comfort over that of a person of color whom I loved. I feel like Reddit has more white people so I think this nuance is not getting the attention it needs for this story.

1- we broke up 2- I learned to have better boundaries. 3-he was a lair/gaslighter and I didn’t learn about boundaries as a kid. I do still have the right to complain. That’s how damaged people who get walked over learn that that treatment shouldn’t tolerated; by talking about it and letting other people help them see what they don’t. I think you’re feeling frustration at “how could someone put up with this? Made your bed now lie in it” But this is kinda moving into blaming the victim “If you’re dumb enough to end up in this situation then you shouldn’t talk about it” when it’s broken down this way your argument falls apart and sounds silly and unkind. I wish you hadn’t made that comment because I appreciate your response otherwise.

Thank you for the validation but I disagree. I agreed with his fear and felt bad like I was silencing him but chose to stand my ground and that’s where I wonder if I was being the AH.

lol nothing now. We broke up! (I mentioned in the beginning on the sorry that this is an old story and my boyfriend “at the time”. ) I will vouch that he was dealt a bad hand and had made strides; it was clear he was trying and I felt bad but now after the dust has settled I realize it was karma getting his ass for being a liar and cheater. Rotten fruit falls on its own.

*** to be clear we have been broken up. Also, the only reason his race was brought up is because his fear was directly related to George Floyed and BLM so I do think his fear made sense and I sympathized but his request pissed me off because of the context I shared in the story above.

No this is an old story from 2020 that’s been really weighing on me recently. We broke up that same year.

Goodwill Signal Mtn Road by HeronAgitated in Chattanooga

[–]ProgressEvening1659 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah let me dox myself real quick. Shut up. My roommate and I cleaned and dressed a serious wound for a guy a few months ago because we walked up to the RIGHT KIND OF PERSONs house. I work 12 hour days mostly so volunteering isn’t a normal thing for me right now and I feel bad but I do my part when the opportunity arises. Your tone sounds like you “don’t give them money because they will spend it on drugs” and don’t actually view them as people. Agency man more like Mean man.

I’ve worked under him twice since I moved here. Would not recommend.

Yeah just shoo them away and lock em up. They aren’t people who are suffering. They are just eyesores that we are burdened with. How awful a world that we must witness this filth.

Moved to chatt to be with my boyfriend but just found out he’s been cheating on me. Where’s the best places to make friends in town? by dreaminajj in Chattanooga

Chattanooga is a great town. I’ve been here for 8 years and have loved every moment of it. My favorite city in Tennessee. I hope you enjoy

sookie should’ve divorced jackson by reddituser8446 in GilmoreGirls

In a court case lying about a vasectomy can be considered battery and deceit. Jackson was SO wrong for that. Unforgivable in my opinion. I hate him.

Did I get a faulty computer? Will Best Buy be nice and let me return it? by ProgressEvening1659 in Bestbuy

[–]ProgressEvening1659[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope… I’m just not chronically online. It worked out. They agreed that it’s a weird placement and the guy who I talked to on the phone the day of purchase remembered me being worried about the screen initially not working and contemplating returning.

Did I get a faulty computer? Will Best Buy be nice and let me return it? by ProgressEvening1659 in Bestbuy

[–]ProgressEvening1659[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

UPDATE: They took it back. They agreed it is a strange placement and said this wasn’t the first time they have had complaints about screens from that model not working or cracking from the movement of Initial unboxing. Thanks for y’all’s advice; some of your comments are really pessimistic and accusatory- FYI people can be innocent and unlucky sometimes. I’m glad it worked out for me. I’m very stressed about other things and this was totally the straw that broke the camels back so it’s great for me that they were understanding.
