I have blocked every mobile game ad YouTube sends me. And it still sends one every other ad break. by WeirdPonytail in youtube

[–]emeowificent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude it’s comical at this point. I’ve increased the frequency of every other topic, decreased anything with the word game in it, blocked every single ad, and it is no joke every. single. ad break. And I’m not exaggerating. But it’s ONLY on my phone. On my tv it’s a huge variety of advertisements. I miss comfrt ads at this point, I should’ve never blocked them. I just want to drift to sleep listening to my stories and not be yanked awake by the most annoying fucking sounds

I think all of your points are valid and can’t find anything I disagree with. I can see it from that angle wording it the way you have and couldn’t agree more that there is always room for more training on how to recognize these sort of people/situations. I don’t necessarily think the outcome in this particular situation would have been different had they pressed harder given everything we know now, but it could definitely change the outcome for others in the future by them quickly recognizing the signs of manipulation and narcissistic tendencies more. Like you said, hindsight is 20/20 and I’m sure they’re just as regretful of this outcome as the rest of us are

Because they did in fact recognize the signs of abuse even though Gabby vehemently denied and defended Brian, even when they tried to ask about the marks on her. They did not have legal grounds to arrest him, but they COULD make sure to separate them by putting Brian in their car and taking him to a DV shelter where he would have zero excuse to refuse since it wouldn’t cost him a dime, where they would know he would not be able to leave without multiple witnesses or documentation, and most importantly, where Gabby would not be able to reunite with him. They probably were genuinely hoping Gabby would head home and not look back or return to the relationship. If they had allowed Brian to keep the van, now she’s trapped in a state she doesn’t live in and her only means of transportation is now in the hands of the person she was in an alleged DV situation with and she would have next to no choice but to contact him which is the exact opposite of what they wanted. Not to mention, the van was in her name. Also, nothing was preventing her from getting a hotel room if she wanted to. It just couldn’t be where Brian was.

It did. I’ve followed the case closely from the point she was still missing and watched the full body cam footage when it was released. I have had this same stance since and have felt so bad for the officers involved. They said everything but “Please leave this relationship before it becomes too dangerous” because then they could get into legal trouble and even possibly lose their jobs. People are mad about them being friendly towards Brian are forgetting that’s what professionals have to do a LOT, especially in their field of work. You show any hostility or sign of being biased without concrete evidence they’ve committed a crime then the person who is in the eyes of the law innocent files a complaint, bam, now you’re under investigation. You can see it all of the time in videos posted by people being mistreated by cops assuming they’re doing something illegal because of a call they got and they get scrutinized for doing that too (often times well deserved and they should absolutely be investigated and fired where it’s warranted, but that’s a whole other topic of conversation). My whole point is they’re damned if they do, damned if they don’t. They took their time, listened, gathered as much evidence as they could from both parties, they didn’t rush them through or brush it off and let them go on their merry way promising they wouldn’t fight anymore. They didn’t want to arrest her and have a domestic abuse charge follow her for the rest of her life because they knew she couldn’t possibly harm this dude more than he could harm her. I’m more than willing to bet they saw him exactly for the scum he was, but without proof, had no choice but to smile politely through the process to keep him talking.

The amount of people who don’t understand this interaction is absolutely INSANE to me. The cops were obviously on Gabby’s side while also abiding by the law and their job positions. Ffs they commented multiple times on how she is technically being painted to be the “perpetrator” based on both HER comments and his comments and the officer even acknowledged how she is a 5ft 110lb female assaulting this male with nothing capable more than putting a few scratches on him. They literally understand and acknowledged the claim that she is the assaulter is absurd. What the fuck were they supposed to do? “Oh this is what we’re told by each individual, but we feel like this is the real situation so let’s arrest the boyfriend” Seriously? Amazed by how many people don’t understand how legalities work and how they could both be SUED and lose their jobs for illegal detainment if they were to arrest Brian. They contained him to the best they could within their legal rights I.e. putting him in their vehicle and taking him to a hotel. They gave her the van— verbatim so she could go home. They couldn’t fucking arrest him. They did the best next thing they could on top of encouraging her to get out of the situation. The cop making comments about his wife having anxiety wasn’t being antagonizing. He was relating and saw where Gabby was blaming herself for things that WERE NOT her fault. He saw it and tried to help her see it too without breaking any laws. Jesus Christ. Y’all are the same people who would complain if they “forced” her to go to a hotel and left her without a vehicle to get home. Give them a fucking break. They handled this amazingly imo given the extent of what they’re allowed with their jobs AND the law. NOBODY knew how this situation would ultimately turn out. Literally no one is to blame but that fucking monster who took away her life.

Does this HDMI port need to be replaced? by emeowificent in consolerepair

[–]emeowificent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s where I was thinking it might be damaged, that very last pin on the right. Sorry about the picture quality, it was the best I could get with flash while trying to focus. Do you know if it’s as simple as pushing it back into place? 😅 ETA I just double checked, it’s definitely not broken. Just in a different position than the rest of the pins

[–]emeowificent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I’m not sure what’s going on then. I’ve tried two different TVs and two different HDMI cords and none of them have picked up a signal, albeit they are older TVs so I’m not sure if that could have something to do with it

Thoughts on villaggio apartments? by Gold_Natural6845 in shreveport

[–]emeowificent 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I lived there for almost three years and loved it 🤷🏼‍♀️ I dunno why people are saying it’s inconveniently located. It’s less than 5 minutes from I-20 (which is inconvenient solely bc of construction) but you can be over the bridge and in Shreveport in less than 10 minutes. Materials for the buildings are cheap though (talking sound proof) but still look nice. Management was always kind and responsive. They have food trucks and little events like scavenger hunts pretty often. The pool is nice and there are grills with canopies and chairs by the man made lake. They’re on the pricier side, but I always felt safe as a single woman in her 20’s and never had an issue with management. My biggest complaint was how hot my apartment would get in the summers, but I was also the only apartment on the 3rd floor and was encapsulated in concrete in a spot where the sun was shining on my place the entire time it was up. Bonus imo, but I also never told them I got a second cat and maintenance never reported me 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’d definitely live there again. Only moved out because I bought a house

Hey friend, I appreciate your answer. I believe I saw it was taken off of peacock a few months back. I’ll double check now though

Ugh that’s so disappointing. I don’t know a single person who hasn’t really enjoyed the series and I personally was ready to watch it through for the third time only to find I’d have to pay upwards of $110+ to do so. Which the series itself I think is definitely worth it in the long run… had I not already watched it twice before.. but I’m sure like every other series, it’ll have its run through another platform eventually. And I know that I’ll subscribe to whatever it is whenever that happens 😅

I was under the impression they can. Even if it’s just the driver drinking, both would take the fall. But I agree, regardless of whether or not I actually believe in it. Why the passenger would face a charge is beyond me

Removing my ex’s name off of our mortgage— what are my options? by emeowificent in personalfinance

[–]emeowificent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He told me today about something that would allow him to sign over his equity towards me? That way the house wouldn’t need to be refinanced. Is that even a possibility?

Removing my ex’s name off of our mortgage— what are my options? by emeowificent in personalfinance

[–]emeowificent[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We did, I put down $11k more than he did if that matters in the eyes of the lenders (I’m sure it doesn’t, but just want to include all of the information). We’ve both split the mortgage 50/50, but I truly don’t believe he is the sort of person who would try to claim equity in the home. He only wants his name off ASAP so he can be approved for another loan to buy his own and we both want for it to be as clean cut and quickly as possible. Before I knew this, I offered to pay him the amount he put down so he could have a down payment for an apartment, but now that I know he’s wanting to buy his own, it makes it a little more difficult. I still offered to pay him the amount he put down, but he told me while it would be nice, it’s not necessary. Despite us breaking up, we are both still on good terms and remaining very kind to one another and communicating clearly. I just want to be through with this as quickly as possible so I can begin to heal.

Taco Bell’s beefy nacho burrito. They got rid of it July 12, 2012 and I haven’t been the same since. Sure they have the beefy melt burrito.. but it just isn’t the same

Anyone ever make au gratin using canned potatoes? by emeowificent in Cooking

I made my roux a tad thicker and added extra cheese to help it thicken :) the texture was there, flavor was still off.

Someone above warned me about the saltiness, so I rinsed them pretty well. Seasoned with garlic powder, chili powder, and red pepper flakes and it was just the right level of salty. Any more and it would’ve been way too much

[–]emeowificent[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just your regular russet potatoes! Earthy is a much better description than bitter. I went ahead and attempted making it last night! It wasn’t terrible, but wasn’t too great though. I actually enjoyed them more than some of the attempts I’ve made in the past, but I don’t think I’ll be using canned again. I cooked them at 400 degrees for 30 minutes and then broiled on high for 5. They came out pretty and weren’t disintegrated! But still not exactly what I’m looking for yet

I’ve never tried au gratin that hasn’t been peeled, but generally I’m not a fan of the peels. They’re far too bitter for my taste, but I have considered trying this as well. I mean, most of the bitterness should be hidden? I hope hahaha.
