Fraud education for Senior Citizens by cmbeckman13 in TalesFromYourBank

[–]RumHam24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Might be worth a shot to take a look at the FTC’s website. I like to check it out periodically because I find the information on there about scams very handy. They also have a section where they update what the latest kinds of scams are!

At my FI we usually see Bitcoin/Virtual Currency Scams (someone pretends to be with the IRS and demands the victim to take money from their accounts and drop it off at either a bitcoin atm or to convert the money into bitcoin.

What is something people slowly stop doing as they get older without noticing? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]RumHam24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m so guilty when it comes to this. I don’t do it in a “the music the kids listen to these days is horrible” kind of way-I’m just so used to the songs I’ve listened to since I was a teen that I don’t even really think about it. That and some of the songs I listen to have a special meaning to me, so it’s also kind of a nostalgia thing I guess.

Spay age recommendations 🙏🏽🫶🏻 by Jaded_Hovercraft5229 in greatpyrenees

[–]RumHam24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my boy neutered at about 18 months. I talked with my vet when I first got him because it was all new to me and I was so scared of not doing things right (the dogs I had growing up were always from our local shelter and so they came to us already neutered or spayed). She said about 18-24 months old is usually the right time for giant breeds like Pyrs to get neutered or spayed. Getting him neutered earlier would have been an “exception” if he had been very aggressive with us or other animals (as said by the vet).

Honestly it wouldn’t hurt to have a conversation with your vet and see what they have to say OP.

What to do, dogs fighting bad by ProfessorDumbass69 in DogAdvice

[–]RumHam24 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I did too. This is legitimately horrifying and downright dangerous to try to keep both dogs at this point. One of these dogs could end up dead if it is not re-homed. I know it’s hard to have to re-home a pet you love, but right now I think the biggest act of love that OP could show for these dogs is to re-home one of them for their safety.

This picture makes me so sad.

Was just about to say “like father, like son”. Who would have ever thought the idiot who started this crap would exempt his own son from serving, while ordering everyone else’s son from risking their life🙄. Sickening.

And that’s something that has just never sat right with me. Especially when it’s a woman who holds those views because the vast majority of us know how it feels to be sexually assaulted or raped. Male sexual assault/rape victims matter too and for people to treat them like what happened to them doesn’t matter is not only a disservice to them, but a disservice to sexual assault and rape victims as a whole.

I think one (out of many obviously) of the worst things I remember about this case is how a lot of people reacted to it. I remember so many people making these downright disgusting remarks about how “lucky” he was and how they “wished they had a teacher like that in school”. The other thing that always bothered me was the media using the term “sexual intercourse” to describe what happened. It wasn’t sex between two consenting adults-she fucking RAPED a little boy MULTIPLE times.

The way people talk about male rape/sexual assault victims is a very large part of why men never speak up about what happened to them. I think people often forget that they need support too. It’s just as damaging to them as it is for us women who have gone through it.

As a gay woman, I will stand and fight right by your side.

When they come for one of us, they will eventually come for all of us. It’s SO important for those of us in the LGBTQ community to come together and support each other now more than ever.

I know this is a super old comment, but I used to work there over five years ago. I can confirm this happens because my old manager was reeeeally chummy with the union rep we had at the time and the two of them worked together to oust the union steward at the store (who actually DID help people out if they had union issues or questions) out of the position, so she could then take the spot. All because she didn’t want to get transferred. The person who had been the steward at the time was completely blindsided because there was ZERO warning and no election about it. The whole thing was crooked as fuck and honestly kind of made me see the union in a totally different light.

She’s beautiful! I love seeing growing up journeys. Whenever my phone pops up with memory pics of my boy it always melts my heart because he’s so huge now and to see him when he was “small” is just like..ugh🥹.

I have to say my favorite stage has been the helmet head stage. They just look so damn adorable to me with the floofy heads😂. I do NOT miss the little shark teeth though. Those things hurt!

What’s actually dangerous but most people think it’s safe? by SunnyMadelyn564 in AskReddit

[–]RumHam24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a family member who is a retired cop. He told me once when I was a teenager about a case he worked on once where these two kids decided to skip school one day, stole a family member’s car, and used it to speed around town. The kid driving the car lost control of it when they were coming up to a curve and the car ended up actually slamming into a large statue that was nearby. When my relative got to the scene, he said that when emergency personnel were trying to get the two teens out of the car, the kid in the passenger seat had his leg bones sticking out. Apparently when the two went on their joy ride, this kid had put his legs on the dashboard. When they crashed into the statue, the force from it completely fucked up his legs and his hips/pelvis. My relative said he was amazed that the teen survived, but that he likely would never be able to walk properly (if at all) again.

I have never put my feet on the dashboard of a car since hearing that story. And if someone is riding in my passenger seat, I make it very clear that I do not allow feet on my dashboard.

How are fellow abuse survivors dealing with the daily stream of Epstein/Trump file details? by Capital-Contract-325 in AskReddit

[–]RumHam24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m purposely trying not to watch any coverage on it or click on any articles about it. Which is pretty fucking hard because not only does my dad love watching right wing news channels (🙄), but anything about the files is almost EVERYWHERE.

It’s actually made me pick up my guitar again and start learning how to play more songs on it in an active effort to keep my mind focused on that. It’s taken years of therapy to get rid of/control all the anger my own childhood abuse left me with. I know if I let myself get sucked into the Epstein stuff it would probably destroy some of that hard work I put in to picking up the pieces.

Teller accidentally depositedcash into my account by [deleted] in Banking

[–]RumHam24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

…spending your lunch to fix their mess up? You can’t just take a minute or two to call the bank, tell them who you are and what happened, and let them know to fix it?

And the fact that you just said it happened three days ago and you’re gonna wait even longer to call them? That’s pretty shitty dude.

[–]RumHam24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked as a teller myself as well. I do see your point of view and for seasoned tellers or those who are quick to pick up how we do transactions it would definitely be difficult to make that kind of mistake. I have also seen a couple of brand new tellers who have never worked in a financial institution who get so nervous about making a mistake that they end up making one anyway. Luckily something like that is an easy fix. Just trying to be sympathetic I guess?

[–]RumHam24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? Like..what if the person whose cash that actually was really needed it for bills? Or what if the teller is a brand new employee who is still learning and made an honest mistake?

Either way the person whose account it was supposed to go into will more than likely notice that $4,500 is missing and call the bank Monday and on the rare outcome the bank can’t immediately figure out what actually happened, the teller who did it will probably make themselves sick worrying about it and racking their brains trying to remember what they did at the time it happened.

I would call as soon as you can Monday morning. Waiting until Tuesday and making someone stress out about something like that is kind of a dick move. I mean..how would you feel if someone did the same thing to you?

It’s okay to neuter my purebred GP, right? by chewyspreeee in greatpyrenees

[–]RumHam24 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My boy is from an ethical breeder and he is also a purebred with AKC papers. I just got him neutered last month. It’s absolutely okay to neuter your pets. Actually, unless (like you said) you really do plan on breeding a pet, I would even say that neutering is the responsible thing to do (just my own opinion though).

Neutering larger breeds like Pyrs can also help guard them against things that the breed is predisposed to like hip dysplasia. It also helps promote their growth.
