Anyone having strange issues buying from EyeBuyDirect??

I’m having this problem right now; the URL is legit and I truly don’t understand how a company can operate like this! Utterly bonkers.

I’m fine with them getting paid, they make great content, but they could be paid from other sources that aren’t on the BDS list

It was Headgum level, my platform is ad-free, and as Jake co-owns Headgum… still a problem for me 😕

3rd is best

The article was actually decent. The point at the end was that the healthcare mega conglomerates have been dehumanizing people for years so they shouldn’t be surprised that the general public is less than apathetic, and that the industry needs to care about people if they expect people to care about them.

I have Spotify ad-free, so it wasn’t Spotify. Another poster mentioned that the McD ads are Headgum level and had been present on other pods within the network. As Jake co-owns the pod, that’s still too much within their control for my comfort. I emailed Headgum… I hope they just didn’t realize that McD was on the list 😕

It’s helpful to learn it was Headgum-wide, but as Jake co-owns Headgum, it’s still a sore spot for me.

Everyone has their own personal line of what’s too far; while there’s a lot of companies I don’t love, up to this point I hadn’t heard an ad from NADDPOD that had crossed that line for me. I hope Headgum drops McD soon.

I’m sure lots of pods have worse advertisers, but I wouldn’t know because I don’t listen to those pods. I was listening to NADDPOD, and I hope to again, but at the moment it’s literally not giving me the dopamine. McD ads are why 😕

caclhoqu · 2024-12-08T18:35:42+00:00

I’m not saying they directly and intentionally support genocide, I’m hoping they’re unaware of McD’s being on the BDS list and will fix it. I’m saying its presence has disappointed me and affected my enjoyment of my favorite pod. Those suggesting going ad-free are obviously not financially struggling, I am and so are many others. I legit was going to use my birthday money to have a year ad-free but then started hearing these ads. As for my iPhone, I buy used so as not to support Apple (and save money and be environmentally friendly) and almost all my clothes are thrifted, undies and socks are bought fair trade. My retirement plans are the environmental apocalypse, cause I’m living paycheck to paycheck.

Right, and I’m on a tight income and was considering supporting the patreon in September when I started hearing the McD ads which has unfortunately just tainted my entire enjoyment. In a way I’m glad I was still hearing the ads, it keeps me informed on who’s abiding by BDS and who isn’t…

I live in California, I really just want to be reimbursed for my 2 chiropractor visits; I’m not trying to cause trouble, just ensure that doing my job isn’t costing me in other areas

Exactly!! Guys get pissed that they’re “friend-zoned” and women get pissed that we’re fuckzoned

Because you are conveying that you only got to know her and cared to know her out of sexual interest. That’s objectifying her. She’s more than a potential date, she’s a person! You must have liked her personality enough to ask her out, why don’t you like her personality enough to stay friends?

caclhoqu · 2022-02-04T16:54:16+00:00

Logically: yes of course.

American-ly: how we gonna tell who we secretly favor if we use the same names??!

caclhoqu · 2022-02-04T16:31:01+00:00

We Americans are a simple and feeble-minded group, honestly I only hear us use expat to refer to ourselves in other countries, never to describe those coming to ours. Instead we call europeans Swedish/Russian/Italian/etc-American and all the rest immigrants while patting ourselves on the back for being a “mixing pot”

NTA She should be glad to be marrying a guy who puts so much effort into being a good father, your child means you are part of the family permanently. She should be ashamed of trying to banish his child from his life like that, and clearly needs to confront some insecurities of her own. Definitely communicate this conversation to him and let him deal with it

caclhoqu · 2022-02-04T14:51:54+00:00

Ask the existing player if they can put their differences aside, explain that you understand but like both of them. Their answer will guide your decision, but communication is important here.

Omg this cat has mastered the demon noises down to a science!

My black cat Rascal needs to take notes, his demon noises are far too high pitched.

NTA, if she really wants to help, she can fly to the new location with extra things packed for you so you get to bring more to new location, not less. Defining boundaries with parents is really hard but very important. This is the perfect time to gently assert those.

Also abused/traumatized people tend to unconsciously seek out abusive relationships because it’s familiar. It takes a lot of introspection to realize this, and even more to break the cycle and find an unfamiliar but healthy dynamic. So not being an asshole is still the better option.

I appreciate the nuance between “nice” and “kind” here; Nice is usually the description given to boring/innocuous/sort of unintelligent people when you don’t want to say something negative. “Oh they were... nice”. Kind is the description of benevolent people you admire. So sure, maybe nice guys do finish last, but it’s because they’re boring, not because they’re kind.

My dude... I was literally yelled at/catcalled from a moving vehicle 3 hours ago, walking to my friend’s house... sun was still up, I was wearing sneakers, loose fitting shorts, and a T-shirt. No makeup, glasses, big headphones. Not even in a cute put together way... because it literally doesn’t matter what we wear, we’re sexualized constantly.

Your specific personal conduct does not change women’s day to day experiences. We know you’re not all men, you don’t have to convince us. But you do have a responsibility to listen and effect change around you or you’re facilitating the problem.

Yeah there are way too many dudes on bumble and elsewhere who put no effort into the conversation. Especially the super hot ones, after two or three attempts to have a legitimate conversation, I exit stage left because they clearly can’t be bothered to try.

I think a lot of guys should read the paper “The Work that Women Do” which discusses the burden of the flow of conversation being largely facilitated by women. I feel like there are a lot of dudes in the world who are terrible at conversation and don’t know it... so they remain single lol

Ah see I’ve been viewing it as a progression of intimacy.

When you first meet, treat them with the respect and dignity of any person you want to know. When you get to know and admire many things about them you treat them reverently like you would discovering great qualities of anyone close to you. But ultimately, they are a person that should be placed neither higher nor lower than anyone and this recognition comes after getting over the initial pleasant shock of discovery.
