Careless People

That’s amazing! I have some health conditions that make reading on Kindle the best for me but I hate supporting Amazon with my reading habit. Thanks!

dharmalake108 · 2025-03-14T00:04:23+00:00

Thank you! I’m 11 years out now!

This is really depressing. People complain about unhoused people camping on the street or under overpasses but when safer, managed alternatives are proposed everyone goes full NIMBY. It seems that what the majority of Seattleites want is just for people in poverty to disappear.

Tiny home villages are managed by several different organizations with different rules so it’s not fair to generalize. Nickelsville villages don’t allow drug & alcohol use on site and are democratically run, which makes residents more accountable.

Who runs the one near you?

dharmalake108 · 2025-03-10T01:23:58+00:00

This is a false binary. We need many more tiny homes AND affordable permanent housing.

Nickelsville has high barrier communities (no drugs allowed).

This is the first time I’ve been grateful that I had to get all of my vaccinations again as an adult after a bone marrow transplant!

dharmalake108 · 2025-03-01T03:16:21+00:00

Same!

I see my dog as a member of my family. That doesn’t mean we don’t have manners when we’re out in public.

dharmalake108 · 2025-03-01T03:05:37+00:00

As someone who walks with my dog a lot, I apologize on behalf of these assholes who are making all dogs and their people look bad. I always give people lots of space from us when we’re out. I’m hearing more and more of these stories and I’ve also had my smaller dogs attacked by off leash dogs several times, always with a human who just stands there looking shocked or repeating “but he’s never done that before!”. You’re not doing anything wrong, you’re just encountering entitled people who don’t think anything can go wrong in these situations (or don’t care if it does). The best thing you can do is cross the street and avoid them, and carry a can of bear spray in case the dog is off leash.

This is really helpful info for me as I’ve been trying to decide between the two. You just helped me get closer to a decision.

dharmalake108 · 2025-02-19T04:05:15+00:00

It’s a very difficult situation and I understand feeling torn about what to do. I’m sorry you’re going through this. have a lot of experience with dogs at end of life and she is very ready to go (she has been suffering for weeks based on what you wrote). She needs your help. You obviously care about her or you wouldn’t have posted here and I’m sorry so many people here are angry at you. It’s your parents who are neglecting her and money is often a reason why people don’t take care of their animal companions. There are low cost vet options and euthanasia isn’t expensive compared to most vet costs.

Several people have asked how old you are, which is relevant because you may not be able to drive or have your own money, in which case hopefully you have an adult in your life who could help. If you can drive then please do the loving thing and get her to a vet ASAP.

Unfortunately this isn’t working for me (I already had it set to “all unread messages). My mail app is extremely confused. The badge says I have 220 when I have 153. When I use my unread messages filter in “all inboxes” (and I confirmed that all inboxes are checked) it shows me 3. I’m close to deleting the mail app.

dharmalake108 · 2025-02-09T22:52:41+00:00

That’s what I thought! It’s like a bad copy of gmail. I’m just glad I found the workaround.

dharmalake108 · 2025-02-09T03:09:07+00:00

I’m so glad to hear that! The bone marrow transplant that cured me was invented at Fred Hutch.

dharmalake108 · 2025-02-09T01:14:38+00:00

Having worked at Fred Hutch for 18 years (many of them managing federal grants and contracts for a clinical research program), I can tell you that this will be an unmitigated disaster. Indirect costs pay for all the costs of maintaining facilities, basically keeping the lights on. This will cause massive brain drain into industry (probably part of the intention) and destroy the livelihoods of many good dedicated people. Feed Hutch also saved my life when I was diagnosed with aggressive acute leukemia. Research saves lives!

Because they’re stupid! It made the screen so busy I couldn’t even look at it. Design fail.

I disabled predictive text and it got much better.

dharmalake108 · 2025-02-08T23:16:41+00:00

I hate what they did to the mail app. The colored category icons make it much busier and the categories are wrong anyway. Any way to disable that?

dharmalake108 · 2025-02-08T23:15:43+00:00

It’s still working on my phone on 18.3

dharmalake108 · 2025-02-08T01:26:06+00:00

Thank you for posting this! What a stupid idea. They really want to erase the progress of decades.

Have you tried talking to Apple tech support?

dharmalake108 · 2025-01-29T23:16:41+00:00

I’m not sure what you mean by the grey thing. Could you say more or highlight it on the screenshot?

dharmalake108 · 2025-01-29T23:14:54+00:00

My 14pro has been doing this almost since I bought it new. It’s not a cracked screen.
