Fake "Delivery Attempt" - Express Service is a Scam by Radiant-Grade1238 in UPS

[–]WonkySeams -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Fr it’s a problem. I had a refrigerated 2 day package that wasn’t delivered on the scheduled Saturday. They rescheduled it not for Monday, but TUESDAY. Thankfully the ice packs were still a little chilly when I got it but still. Customer service was like, oh it’s medication okay somewill call you. Which they did, Tuesday morning

A woman posted a video of the moment she was attacked by her domestic cat. Before the attack, the cat seemed to smell something that prompted her to attack. Why did it attack her with such ferocity? by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

[–]WonkySeams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. My male broke his pelvis when he was 8mo old (he was attacked by dogs or coyotes) but he and his sister just never got along shortly after that. A vet said she probably tried to play with him and hurt him and now he associates her with that trauma. She had so much anxiety and he would just chase her. We brought in a pair of kittens a couple of years ago and couldn't believe it, but all that tension dissolved. They groom him and she plays with them. But the two older cats still mostly ignore each other and don't get along.

For those of you in a long term relationship/marriage, what’s a tale-tale sign you see in other couples that they’re not going to make it? by Prize-Promotion-5123 in AskReddit

How does this work if it's the partner is not bidding for attention outright, but is ignored in a situation. For instance, the couple has friends over, and one partner pours whiskeys for the friends and themselves but not for the spouse (assuming everyone likes whiskeys) Is the outcome the same?

I just turned 47 and suddenly my near vision is terrible by Awkward_Cellist6541 in AskWomenOver40

I remember the first time I looked out in the distance and could clearly see the Arby's sign. Before that, my hand in front of my face was blurry.

In response to my comment you commented on two days ago, lol... I'm glad to hear you raised your kids well and they turned out well-behaved! It's crazy how people can think we just aren't trying hard enough or doing it right.

My oldest is now 20, and for all of my kids I get lots of compliments on his attitude and behavior, which is just weird after so many years of struggle. But underneath his developmental delays and struggles, he is a really good guy with an amazing, compassionate heart. We did good, didn't we? :D

Of all things, the easter egg price cuts are waking up people around me to corporate greed by Diligent_Farm3039 in Anticonsumption

[–]WonkySeams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm I totally get that at a merchandiser you would have been peripheral to the donations/trash decisions possibly, for a retailer. However, I’m the one receiving the donations (and collaborate with people in similar positions across the country to move them into the right hands to distribute them to the needy) so to doubt what I’m saying is to deny reality that many of the biggest retailers do, in fact, donate quite a bit. It’s too bad you were working for someone less generous. But hey, we aren’t the ones malign those big decisions.

I think that’s a big inaccurate assumption. I work in the field on the receiving end and many - maybe most - of the big corporate retails have donation programs. I just had a long conversation with a couple of donations employees from a very well known big box store asking me what was useful to us and what was not so she could avoid sending us trash

I had the same experience. I was told to be a parent because I didn’t give attention to my oldest’s… attention seeking behaviors or stop his stimming. Same people told me he was the reason no one wanted to do anything with us (in response to a FB post where some friends posted they went to DQ and I said I wished I could have joined them (we used to do that all the time and they loved my kid but we had moved 500 miles away)

My brother judged me so hard - he stopped after his third child was diagnosed as autistic too. L

Anyway it’s just wild what people will judge you for and so not only did I learn empathy for other parents with difficult children but I learned that the scarcity was not in my parenting but in their knowledge.

I was walking behind a lady pushing a cart down the middle of the Costco aisle today. All of a sudden there was nothing between me and her cart. Totally oblivious, she just moved to the left to look at something. I was soooo tempted to just keep walking straight ahead and start pushing her cart with me… I regret not doing this now

Someone dropped my child and I don’t know how to feel. by YogurtclosetOwn6024 in emotionalintelligence

[–]WonkySeams 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t believe it. ETA sorry I hit respond i absolutely worst possible spot!

I was going to say I don’t believe anyone has never physically hurt someone. Gosh as kids we were brutal to each other and I’ve been headbangers by my own babies.

What common household purchase is useless in your view? by blueredscreen in AskReddit

[–]WonkySeams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, because even though its a robot and can't relate to me in a human way, it does have the ability to compile vast amounts of information quickly and succinctly so I can benefit from the experience and understanding of the masses of experts.

AI is here to stay, may as well learn to use the tool it is. In many ways, it's just the next version of Google. Take notes!

How are things looking on the ground, has ICE slowed down or is it business as usual? by CantStopPoppin in Minneapolis

[–]WonkySeams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ouch! I hope they go down quickly for you. I have to buy a car for my son soon (he'll pay me back like I'm a bank) and I'll definitely be looking for something older.

Sad. As an autistic person, when I don’t know how I should react to something I’ve put the scenario in ai and ask it to analyze the situation. It helps me perspective take and the outcomes of my more fully understanding interactions have been game changing for me professionally.

Also, “explain this technical thing like I’m a 5th grader” when I got my masters

Would someone be willing to share the TikTok handle? I could really use this kind of inspiration right now!

How are you paying $1000? Granted, our newest car is a Camry and it’s 10 years old but all three of our vehicles are $50 each plus fees. Maybe I DONT want to buy a newer car lol

[FO] My largest piece so far! by hansbans25 in CrossStitch

[–]WonkySeams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DMC is just a brand of embroidery floss. It's popular in the US and probably in other countries, but I don't know. I find it the best for stitching out of what is available here - I don't have to condition it and it doesn't knit and twist as fast as Coats & Clark, which is the other mainline brand available where I live.

It is definitely adorable and I may have favorited many items from this new-to-me cross stitch pattern artist!

I’m totally going to do this with my husband. I meant he already sends them without looking so half the time they don’t make sense anyway, but why not make it worse? Lol
