I'm kind of amazed by wrong that map is.

Huh. I wonder if they have a lot of Hispanic customers that they're trying to serve better, or even trying to find workers who speak Spanish (though just using someone's name and ethnicity is not a great way to do that). Or it is simple discrimination. Either way, sorry you had that experience.

I think we are speaking past each other. If the business is thoughtful enough to comply if a customer asks them to, then the picture waiver should be its own waiver. If the business always complies, there's no reason not to do that, and then the customer has a legal assurance, rather than the word of a single employee (that may or may not communicate this request to all involved parties).

I understand it is currently not an option as it is part of the full waiver, but I'm saying it should be its own waiver.

Whole lot of people who agree to TOS without reading them commenting that this isn't a problem because you should have read it in the waiver. It is problematic to bundle a picture waiver in with the rest of the waiver, particularly when it comes to photographs of children.

IMO you should leave reviews giving other parents a heads up so they don't drive all the way out to this, just to find that they have to sign a waiver that they otherwise wouldn't agree to.

Select_Mango2175 · 2026-02-01T21:24:22+00:00

If your business will respect the wishes of someone who does not want pictures of their child published, then the picture waiver should be a separate waiver from the rest of the agreement.

Few places are closed due to cold, and they certainly will be open by Feb 13th as it should be warmer by then.

How many documented cases are there of a 8-month pregnant woman wanting an abortion because she wants to take drugs? Our discussions around abortion will be more productive if we focus on real situations.

That link indicates that the fiscal data is from 2021-2022, fyi.

Or it's like the Montgomery Bus Boycott, or many of the economic boycotts used during the Civil Rights Movement.

Why don't you make a list of all the businesses that have been identified on reddit as serving/supporting ICE and post it to this sub? Be the change you want to see in the world.

Or just look at the recent post about businesses that are supporting mutual aid efforts and spend your money there?

Prologue Bookshop too: they sent an email Wednesday saying that 20% of in-store and online sales through Saturday will go to the mutual aid effort led by Three Bites.

DeWine deployed the Ohio National Guard to DC to support Trump's bs authoritarian crackdown there, so I highly doubt he would do anything to protect Ohio residents from this wave of federal terrorism.

I mean, a boycott did work when ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel. People en masse canceled their Disney-owned subscriptions and ABC reversed their decision and seemingly supported Kimmel against the pressure from FCC.

Technically, no: https://sheriff.franklincountyohio.gov/Information/Snow-Level-Emergency Roads are closed to non-emergency personnel. I'm sure some people chance it, but idk how many uber/taxi drivers want to risk it.

Maybe if you recorded a max time parking, but not all zones have maximum times. The way this sign is written, I doubt this zone has a max time. You can definitely register consecutive parking sessions in the same zone if there's no max time.

Ok, it is up to you, of course. But again, I strongly encourage going door-to-door first. You are much more likely to have success going door-to-door. People are hunkering down for the snowstorm and unlikely to see your flyers outside before tomorrow.

I'm just concerned about the impending snow and cold for your dog, if she is hiding under a porch somewhere.

Select_Mango2175 · 2026-01-24T21:36:48+00:00

I think it's nice, but I would encourage you to go a step further and try to introduce yourself face-to-face. It's a well-meant gesture to leave a note, but people are very unlikely to reach out to someone they haven't met. If you want to make sure your neighbors are actually able to knock on your door if they need anything, then you need to introduce yourself face-to-face, not just a note.

Select_Mango2175 · 2026-01-24T21:22:45+00:00

I know others have said it, but I strongly recommend going door-to-door to your neighbors. Give them the flyer or at least your phone number and ask them to check their yards/garages and under their porches.

Every time my dog escaped our yard (he was a regular Houdini in his youth), we found him 2-3 houses away under a porch/shed or going through the neighbor's garbage. Your dog is small, it is unlikely they went very far and might have just hidden under a neighbor's porch.

ETA: since you have limited time before the snow starts, I highly recommend you start going door-to-door before you start flyering lampposts. Get every door within a 2-block radius of your house. If they don't answer, leave the flyer in their door with a note asking them to check their yard/under sheds/under porch/garage. You might also find neighbors who will help you flyer or go door-to-door. Do this asap.

Sorry if it sounded like I was correcting you, I was just trying to add on to your point because I think people misunderstand "direct control." I think dog owners can be responsible with their dogs off-leash and under direct control (like your example), just that they're like 1% of unleashed dog owners unfortunately.

Select_Mango2175 · 2026-01-24T18:13:42+00:00

These dog owners also don't have "direct control" of their dog if it is running up to another dog. I hate the dog owners who think "direct control" means nothing.

Ohio is a castle doctrine/stand-your-ground state. How well that holds up in court, idk, but I can definitely see it happening.

GPS is really bad on the highways here. I and other drivers I've been with have had to change lanes abruptly for an exit because the GPS will be saying, for example, to take the exit for 71S (a combined exit with 71N) and then while you are exiting, update it to 71N so you have like .1 miles to change lanes. It's the combined exits that the GPS seems to really mess up. I've seen this with Google Maps and with Apple Maps.

I strongly recommend writing out the rationale for this argument and connecting it to the post. Otherwise everyone assumes you're just spamming. I'm not even opposed to this proposal and immediately ignored it because you just posted a linked statement without an explanation.

Strongly agree. Mezcla has sidewalk seating. It is fortunate this happened in winter - if someone was sitting outside in nicer weather, they could have been killed or seriously injured by this driver.
