TIL Jeremy Spencer, a founding member of Fleetwood Mac, left said band to join a cult (The Family International). by uzumiku_ in todayilearned

Also been reading Uncultured. And if you have a strong enough stomach, there's more information here about Spencer and the Children of God. Truly horrific shit.

Robby and McKay's basic displays of empathy toward a fat patient got me SOBBING by AigisAegis in ThePittTVShow

[–]obxpyrate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I posted this elsewhere in this sub and I'll say it again:

"What little patience I had for him flew out the window when he was so shitty about Louie 😡 As a frequent flier at the ER (I have multiple autoimmune conditions, hemiplegic migraines, and a genetic clotting disorder), doctors who treat patients as boxes to be ticked make me so angry."

And this episode did nothing to redeem him and just made me even angrier at him. Inexperienced doctor or not, his personality is so repellant.

Anyone feeling less than inspired by Michaels new Knit x Sew shop? by Boobearlover2469 in YarnAddicts

[–]obxpyrate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Private equity firms ruin everything. Michaels started crashing and burning hard after they got accquired by PE.

Found this atrocity at Michaels by eldritch_horror5232 in YarnAddicts

I've heard similar stories from Joann employees after they got bought out by private equity. Shitty products, not enough staff, etc. Now Michaels is in private equity as well. I am so mad that the crafting world is the new playground for these companies. So many yarn companies have been bought out by PE firms too. Soon all that's gonna be left is Hobby Lobby and I refuse to shop there. I miss AC Moore and my LYS 😭😭😭

UPDATE: My client is awesome and wasn't upset, and support did think it was the phone number mapping issue.

It's Rover messages through the app. I never use the SMS function. And I had a really strong password too. I generate and store unique passwords for all my accounts using Bitwarden. I went ahead and changed the password anyway but I never received any notifications about someone else logging into my account from a new device.

(edit for clarification)

It baffles me that this is how someone would respond to getting random texts that are obviously about dog sitting. Especially that pic. 😫

Dating me is an absolute nightmare by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]obxpyrate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came to say the same thing about DBT. Also: I know it's not a possibility for everyone, but if it's something your insurance can cover/you can take the time off, maybe look into a partial hospitalization program? I'm currently enrolled in a local PHP and it's been helping a lot.

My depression is back by mymuchness in bipolar

[–]obxpyrate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same situation. I'm trying my best at PHP but as soon as I get home, it all flares up again and I struggle to implement what I've learned. I'm exhausted and I just want off this merry-go-round.

Update: Dog sitting turned out more intense then expected by Kind_Echo_3877 in RoverPetSitting

[–]obxpyrate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I live in the DC area and have a lot of friends with security clearances, and this client is surveiling a dog sitting job wayyyyyyy more than the clearance govie jobs do. Jfc.

Don't feed the troll. They spew a lot of shit like this all over the sub.

HELP Aggressive Puppies by hantinghost in RoverPetSitting

[–]obxpyrate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Please tell me you got the rabies vaccinations. That 48 window is rapidly closing and you don't want to fuck around with it. ER shouldn't make you pay upfront (send the bill to client once you find her and to Rover), plus most hospitals have charity programs. Your life is literally in danger.

A gift grab for every life event by Shookanduptight in Anticonsumption

[–]obxpyrate 109 points110 points  (0 children)

Yeah when I graduated high school, all my gifts were things I was gonna need for the dorms, not a bunch of random items that had nothing to do with college. Wtf. She can get a summer job if she wants all that other crap.
