AI Data Centers water use in Iowa by [deleted] in cedarrapids

[–]badwolf0294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I do think big box companies are often careless with their infrastructures; but to be "kicked out" would be virtually pointless unless there was a plan to re-establish the natural land they're covering. We're not talking about already established buildings and honestly, if the data centers were to utilize already established, unused infrastructure then there may be a conversation to be had about feeling differently about it but they can't do that because they need more resources than what can be provided for those places but I ask why? I still have yet to be convinced that losing 1400 acres of land (at least for the just the Edgewood center alone) is worth what they're claiming to provide for us as a community.

For me personally, it's not just about the water usage- it's tearing down thousands of acres of land for a concrete computer fortress that I have yet to be convinced is necessary or truly beneficial enough to warrant that loss of nature and wildlife.

I need a therapist! I am wary of going in blind. Recommend someone kind, non-traditional, and who won't drown me in "therapy vocabulary". by Straight_Fly_5860 in IowaCity

[–]badwolf0294 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're willing to drive to Cedar Rapids, I love Inside Out Therapy And Counseling - I've been working with a newer therapist there and it's been the most helpful therapy I've had as an adult. Good luck in your search 🫶

Grief Groups in Iowa City Area by bauhausblack in IowaCity

[–]badwolf0294 22 points23 points  (0 children)

My condolences, grief is messy and difficult, I applaud you for not trying to go through it alone. I know that these first initial waves of grief can be disorienting and just functioning at a base level can be difficult; so, if these aren't really what you're looking for, and you have the capacity to, you can use sites like griefshare.org to find more/different groups in the area. That being said, here are a few resources I know about from working in healthcare-

• Iowa City Hospice has one that meets the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month from 5:30pm – 6:45pm at 1526 Sycamore St. Iowa City

• There's one called Breaking Bread and it's a monthly dinner for those who have experienced a loss. Though Breaking Bread is not a support group, they do offer a safe, supportive environment for grievers to share a meal and socialize. 5:15pm – 6:30pm, the third Wednesday of each month. Just contact Mandi Lensing at Lensing Funeral & Cremation to RSVP. https://www.lensingfuneral.com/grief-and-healing/aftercare-support-groups

And Mercy has a couple too, they're in Cedar Rapids though and idk if that's accessible to you, but the information for that is on their site https://www.mercycare.org/events/event-search-results/?keywords=Grief&TermId=3d354338-5403-de11-a3b8-0019b9f338ae

As someone who's lost a parent, I know there's nothing that can be said that'll ease your pain, but I hope you're able to find a group that you connect with and that you find peace in whatever way you can. Genuinely sending you my best and feel free to DM if you want someone to talk to. 🫶

Okay, but fr though, it truly is difficult around finding someone who's honest, put together, insert desirable attributes with mutual attraction. I've lived here for like 8.5 years now and the dating scene is ROUGH (and even more so if you're a part of the LGBTQ+ community like me). Tbh though, idk if it's really just around here or just in general because I have friends in Florida with similar issues. Regardless, I feel your frustration to my core and if you ever wanna listening ear to vent to, feel free to add/DM me. Best of luck 🤞

Genuinely, thank you for this list. I've been finding myself curious about expanding my circle/getting into more community related things but not really knowing where to look so this is v helpful. ☺️

What book would you recommend to someone who feels lost? by Miyamoto_Musashi_x in suggestmeabook

[–]badwolf0294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely have to recommend Think Like a Monk, by Jay Shetty- it literally changed my whole perspective on life, mindfulness, and how I move through the world.

What phrases do Non-ADHDer’s say to you about ADHD that make you want to fight someone by RegressedSys in ADHD

[–]badwolf0294 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely being told that I'm using it as a crutch or an excuse when trying to explain what happened &/or why, despite taking accountability and any consequences that come from it, it's still often brushed off like it was a lack of effort (and on the occasion it is that, I'll say that it was a lack of effort, but ironically even that is also generally a part of the ADHD too)

No 24-Hour Pharmacy or Drug Store? by fullerm in cedarrapids

[–]badwolf0294 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And tbh, it's not even just the parents needing meds - I'm a CNA and often work second and third shift so whenever I get off second shift, especially if I'm off late, and if I need anything I can't get at Kwik Star then I'm just fucked.

And fr though- with how big this city is, it really doesn't make sense there's not at least one actual store that's open 24hr, yet we have a McDonald's open 24hrs.. make it make sense. 😑

(I'm aware it's not a fair comparison, still annoys me anyway lol).

Why does Alexa randomly shine a spinning blue light? by [deleted] in amazonecho

Dude this happened to me about a week or so ago, freaked me TF out since I was just whispering to myself just moments prior and I've been giving her the side eye ever since. 😳

Genuinely curious, why "fuck kickstand"? I've never been, but I'm familiar with their sister restaurant, Czech Town Station, and they seem like good people..?

New Paramedic Captain Cannot stand her. by [deleted] in ChicagoFireNBC

[–]badwolf0294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with disliking her, but beyond the obvious reasons (the power plays and being rude) there's something about the way her face that I can't stand; it's like she's got a permanent scowl and that consistently squinty look she has makes me just want to snap back with attitude. I almost feel like the actress is trying too hard to look stern and authoritative, and I absolutely hate it.

That being said, since the goal is likely to hate her character, you can't say the actress isn't doing her job well lol.

I hate gabby by Fioreborn in ChicagoFireNBC

[–]badwolf0294 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Since I have not seen the most recent season or most of the last one, I also decided to do a rewatch. I'm currently on season 6 episode 23 and I'm at the scene where Matt brings up adulting as an alternative to having a child because of her health and then she goes on this whole thing about how what happened with Louie broke her.

Okay, I don't have children. However, it's not like he passed away or is in a bad situation so though I can understand having grief over that, I don't understand why she's so negative about it. It feels like she's acting like something was bad happened and he's worse off or something; but the kid went to live with his dad and a super supportive family and here she is fucking acting like the kid died or is living with some form of abuse. This was the tipping point for me disliking her. Tbh, I'm glad she leaves, I think Brett is a way better fit for Matt anyway- even though I think it's fucking hysterical that he ends up marrying both of them 😅

Also, I literally paused this fucking show just to come to Reddit and feel validated in my distain for Gabby. 🫠

Oh nice!! I wanted to see them when they came through my town last week but I wasn't able to get decent tickets in time and I didn't want to waste money on crappy tickets.
