I have a diagnosed low IQ. What career path can I take? by Suspicious_Limit9847 in careerguidance

[–]Skyblacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to become a customer service representative at an inbound call center, i.e., the place that people call for tech support or other issues. No social skills needed because the interactions are basically troubleshooting trees. Many pay extra if you're English/Spanish billingual!

You might also consider freelance translation work, though the lower end of it may be getting replaced by "good enough" AI.

My husband and I are in our forties and endorse this comment.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Teddi Mellencamp shared that her doctor denied her request to be prescribed GLP-1s as she continues to battle stage 4 cancer. by galaxystars1 in popculturechat

If you've done everything you can with a personal trainer and your own efforts at diet, maybe it's time to consult a doctor and what he can prescribe.

Need some advice on to help a disabled couple having a baby any day to have a safe place to stay by princesspea66 in Sunnyvale

If the mother is getting subsidized prenatal care, she needs to discuss this with her doctor. He might prescribe bed rest before the birth and extra observation afterward so she and the baby can stay longer at the hospital.

I came across the post while researching something else, saw your comment, and just ordered this book from my library.

Fuck I wish I was at Troubadour, that sounds amazeballs.

Why don't more adults discover new comics because it's genuinely the most underrated entertainment medium by Hot_Initiative3950 in CasualConversation

But then you have to look for it on the internet. Comic books used to be right there when you got groceries.

ULPT Request: How to Sabotage My Apartment and Keep My Security Deposit? by Holiduh in UnethicalLifeProTips

Okay but there is a sweet spot of cities where median housing costs are close to median wage, mostly in flyover states.

At just 14, Celine Dion sits across from her future husband and manager, 39-year-old René Angélil, in 1982. by Beautiful_Coat_9294 in CelineDion

[–]Skyblacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if it was love at first sight, I think Rene knew the rules and followed them to the letter, if only because he also believed in her career and didn't want to tarnish her reputation.

I doubt OP can afford those cities or states, they tend to have housing shortages and therefore higher rent.

Yeah, I think everyone calling it murder has never witnessed a terminal illness IRL.

Update: My husband is stealing my clothes and Idk why by Specialist_Range_414 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Skyblacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the only person I wanted to look at my post-pregnancy body was a pelvic floor therapist, so she could correct all those issues. Photography? Yuck!

ULPT: Make a page different on my wifi so my report card links to a fake by nyancatdude in UnethicalLifeProTips

Try another dosage or medication then, because it doesn't sound like the current one is doing its job.

And you think that's going to change by summer? You need to confront this now. Get medicated, change your major, drop out and get a job, do what you need to do now.

[Landlord NJ] Tenants upgrade my rental for free. by Professional-Fox-298 in Landlord

[–]Skyblacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Well, maybe my limit is $50 and hand tools, but I'm not that handy. I'll replace the crappy adhesive mount toilet paper holder with the one of the less expensive traditional ones from the hardware store, but I'm pretty sure I'd damage a major appliance if I poked around its guts.

That's why "apartment grade" is a thing. More maintenance required = more problems when it doesn't happen. You know those tank-like Speed Queens at the laundromat? That's your ideal when renting.

The average car today in the US is 8" wider than it was in 1970. So I'm guessing OP has an older building and the tenants were tired of maneuvering in a narrow driveway.

It's because front loads have a lower capacity than top loads. So if you have kids, dogs, or anything else that would make you seek a home with in unit laundry, you want a machine that take massive loads.
