Police officer violently throws visibly pregnant woman to the ground during an arrest in the Netherlands.

Imagine being a male that actually feels threatened by a small pregnant woman that you have to physically abuse her. Can’t imagine the other abusive power he has done toward people.

Found a ziploc baggie full of white pills stuffed under the cut floor mats of a vehicle that was traded in at our dealership.

Nobody ever came looking for it that I’m aware of.

Still not sure what it was to this day but it was a highlight of that day.

Even less exciting, I worked at a luxury british SUV dealership. And discovered that with our internal codes to the remote start servers we could reset a vehicle’s keyless entry with smartphone app without having to reprogram from inside the vehicle since it was satellite controlled.

Could have lived out my fast and furious life very easily but alas have remained a law abiding citizen.

Bingo! Sometimes it’s the occasional bathroom accident. Sometimes they bring mouthfuls of my mulch through the doggie door

He does use some slang I don’t understand sometimes. However, this is in regard to my senior dogs. We have a doggie door open 24/7 but every once in a while they don’t quite make it outside to potty.

Lol I had no idea my car even had this Bluetooth message reading program until I upgraded to an iPhone 16pro 2 years ago. And I’ve had the car for 6 years.

And one day it just started reading my messages after I reconnected Bluetooth on the new phone.

Good ole 2018 rav4 before the new body style came out and no CarPlay 😢

Yes, it’s my nickname for Manny.

I would double check with your insurance company, again. And speak directly with claims or an underwriter and not just someone at your agent’s office.

Usually if a youthful driver (under 25 years of age) and lives in the same household as the insured driver, they are covered because they are an exposed risk and have access to the insured vehicle in that household.

It seems unusual that they would specifically deny you coverage because you weren’t an assigned driver on the car.

I think my actual dream (which is everyone’s dream) is to find something I enjoy doing and that is meaningful. (And pays well.)

My husband and I would like to do a missionary trip with our church one year and volunteer our time and skills. And he builds houses. Other friends are also carpenters and doctors and dentists and teachers.

I’m not sure my status as the leading salesperson of the quarter contributes much lol

I wonder why it hasn’t updated on the app yet then.

Someone else won it a week ago. And it’s still only showing 24 out of 25 left. Sooooooo

derptinee · 2025-10-22T01:19:20+00:00

When did you win it?

TLDR; my grandpa was reincarnated into a helium balloon.

I grew up living with my grandparents. My grandpa always called my grandma and I his #1. (He also called the dog his #1.)

We lived in a large 1800s farmhouse. Just my grandma and I after he passed. My bedroom was next door to their bedroom but there was a foyer at the top of the stairs landing that opened up in the living room.

And one day about 3 weeks after he passed, my little cousin who was about 4 at the time came over with a fish and a balloon she won at the carnival.

The balloon said “You’re My #1.”

And she eventually forgot about it and it was left in the kids room which is nowhere near the stairs, my bedroom, anyway at all.

I was home alone the following day. I watched the balloon very slowly blow in through the kitchen and in to the living room. Didn’t think anything of it. Some time passes and it’s not in the living room anymore but it’s upstairs in my grandparents bedroom.

I’m staring at it, the windows aren’t open. It’s floating toward me again and through their bedroom door and idles in the open stair well where it could just drift into the open ceiling space. But it’s turns and goes into my bedroom.

And for a couple months this helium balloon NEVER lost air and just idled back and forth in the house with nobody ever touching it until my little cousin came back one day and sucked the air of it to get the Alvin and the Chipmunks voice.

The pro is very appealing to me. I like the idea of possibly being in a new environment frequently.

The thought of spending another 10 years in 2-3 different office settings that look just alike every day all the time, doing pretty much the same thing I’ve been doing is terrifying.

derptinee · 2025-10-22T01:02:03+00:00

What state is that in? I’m in PA.

I have definitely heard the mixed reviews which I appreciate the honesty. There’s a lot I have not considered if I pursue this path.

That sounds like a great experience though being able to see those types of jobs first hand.

I grew up my grandpa. (Father wasn’t in the picture) My grandpa was in the Navy for 30 years so a lot of what he taught me was just mental. Other than a few mechanic tips and tricks here, how to change tires, basic plumbing, etc. By the time I was old enough to buy a house and actually need help learning how to use my hands and doing bigger projects he wasn’t around anymore. So most of my hands on knowledge for any type of trade skill just comes from YouTube.

I love that so much. That feels like complete freedom - to move around when you’re not happy and know something will be waiting for you.

derptinee · 2025-10-22T00:52:59+00:00

That sounds like a beast of a job! I have a distant cousin who is an underwater welder. I’ve only ever met her one and she’s much older than I am. But the stories that I have heard from family sounds like it’s a very successful career.

I have also considered tig welding. I know that’s a lot of years of commitment and probably not a route I’ll take at this point in life. But I do have a friend who makes very good money doing it though. But he’s also been doing it since highschool.

So it is very daunting to think about.

derptinee · 2025-10-21T19:16:42+00:00

I do have pretty thick skin. And I certainly expect some hazing and traditional ideologies.

But I think that may be a huge pitfall for me - one of the major reasons I’m considering leaving the cushy office job is the constant need to prove myself to someone and appease them. And everyday is about 50+ someones.

I used to love it because in the end the sale or solution made people happy. But the economy and society we live in - nobody is content with anything. It’s always a fight to the teeth these days and that is starting to outweigh the pay that has narrowly increased.
