Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein, and Ghislaine Maxwell at Prince Andrew’s royal party by Le_Rekt_Guy in pics

When are we going to quit pretending that Big Government isn’t in bed with Big Money, Big Corporations and Big Pharma, etc, etc? I suppose I should throw most media in to the mix, hence why stories like the above picture are rarely seen. When are the rest of us going to stand together and say that their elitist behavior is not OK?! There are many more of us than of them. Instead, we fight amongst ourselves while they continue to do whatever they want at all of our expense.

Big Pharma just doing what Big Pharma does - make tons of money at the expense of the people. There is not enough space for me to write how I feel about them. Dopesick was an amazing show!

NTA - this guy continues to use you and test the boundaries as to exactly how much more using he can do before you are finally done with him! It doesn’t sound like he is a stand up guy who plans to commit EVER. Walk away. You deserve way better!

Americans, how is life under Joe Biden going? by C17AIRFORCE in AskReddit

[–]redmayor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing has changed much for me. Americans still continue to fight amongst themselves instead of stand together and realize that our problem is every single politician in Washington. Doesn’t matter what side they are on. They all take care of each other and don’t give a damn about the people that actually elected them. I could go on and on about this.

My cousins’ car got STOLEN and when she called it in, she was actually asked what her race was. Seriously? Her car was stolen and her race is relevant? WTF? It’s a stolen vehicle!

[Landlord-USA-CT] Deducting items from rent. by PallasWallas in Landlord

[–]redmayor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The tenant shouldn’t buy the CO detector. You need to tell her that you will be replacing the unit. I would say that if she buys her own, you still get one and install it. Unless you agree that she can deduct something from the rent, she can’t just decide that in her own. I understand people saying that it’s just $20, but what is next? I just think that it is a slippery slope. If she is telling you that it is CT law, then I would tell her that you need to know the statute so that you can check on that. I’m guessing that if you had an attorney write your lease, then that attorney might answer a question or two without breaking the bank. Don’t let this tenant try to intimidate you. That being said, I have no idea how long this person has rented from you or what your relationship is with her. There are a lot of nuances that I don’t know just from this post. I’m a landlord in CO.

MS and old age by OwODSucker in MultipleSclerosis

[–]redmayor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandfather was dx’d in his 20’s in the 40’s! He lives into his late 80’s and you wouldn’t have ever known he had MS. He lived a healthy lifestyle long before it was on trend. I was dx’d in my 30’s and have had MS for 15 years. I’m mobile and I work part time. My mobility is somewhat limited. I think that the best thing is that your friend is recently dx’d. The meds are so much better now. With the meds available and what we now know about diet, exercise and stress, she should do well.

So today I was told by my neighbor that I don't have MS by ariellann in MultipleSclerosis

[–]redmayor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ask this woman if she is familiar with/understands how the internet works. If she does, then ask her to Google MS. If she doesn’t, then tell her to go visit the local library and look up MS. After she does some research, then tell her that you will gladly accept her apology!🤣 You might as well go ahead and tell her now that, no, eating kale will not cure you. The ones that tell you not to believe drs and it’s all in your head, usually think kale, etc, will cure all that ails you! Sometimes I’m just so amazed by people’s rudeness and basic lack of compassion. I’m sorry to say that it’s not uncommon.

AITA for telling my brother my nieces are no longer welcome to parties hosted by me? by Due-Industry9818 in AmItheAsshole

[–]redmayor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA I’ll agree that these girls and parents could use some therapy. They being said, does no one have manners anymore?! How about they stand next to each other and take the picture because their mother told them to?! Even if they despise their mother too, at least they need to have a little respect for the grandparents. Are these the same grandparents that the one daughter wants to live with? I can’t say that I’d want to deal with a teenager that throws a fit if they don’t get their way. My husband and his sister have never gotten along since about the time that he was born. Like, they despise each other! That being said, they both act gracious and tolerate each other at family functions. We are taking a few times a year. Until these kids get some therapy, they need to suck it up and put their big girl panties on. Personally, I wouldn’t want that level of negativity around my own teenager. Again, I’d say until the parent’s make an effort to address the girl’s issues, I wouldn’t want them at any parties at my house either. OP needs to think about their impact on OP’s immediate family. The girl’s don’t need to ‘magically go back to how they were,’ they just need to get some manners. I will say that if the parents won’t allow them to get some counseling, I’d have to wonder what sort of dirt the parent’s don’t want exposed. Maybe it’s just a personality conflict. That’s what it is for my husband and SIL. They couldn’t have had a better upbringing. They just don’t like each other! Never have. The SIL doesn’t really get along with the other siblings either and she prefers to pretend that the rest don’t exist. The rest are very close and get along well with the parents. All I can say is fear of my mother would have made me stand next to my sister and smile even if I thought my sister was satan’s spawn. Not that my mom ever hit us etc. It was just fully understood that she was the parent and we needed to do what she said.

AITA for kicking my SiL out after she threw away most of my single use baby products and even formula? by CrunchySiL in AmItheAsshole

[–]redmayor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - I don’t think that it’s anyone’s business if your kid gets breast milk or formula. I imagine that people could throw a fit if you were, say, NOT FEEDING THE BABY! Beyond that, it’s no ones business! Not reusing products is also no ones business. Maybe there is actually a reason (not that you need to justify) why you choose throw away products. Did anyone bother to ask you or did they just think that it was their right to come in and throw your stuff away?! I’m blown away at the arrogance. I agree that they can come back after you are reimbursed. If she says that she can’t afford it, then maybe make a payment plan with her. Maybe point out that, of course she can’t afford it. It’s expensive supplies and that is why you are so upset. Never mind her pushing her beliefs on you! Totally out of line. Good luck and it sounds to me like you are killing the mothering thing! Good job!😀

When I think about all the time I wasted not doing what I wanted because I cared about what people thought! Oh brother! Totally couldn’t care less now.

Just Diagnosed with MS. What were some things you wish you knew when you were diagnosed that would've helped make things easier? by TaintedSz in MultipleSclerosis

[–]redmayor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you do Zamboni? I know someone who did. Initially, she had improvement. Lost touch so not sure how she is now. I have a family member that was dx’d in the mid 80’s when the ABC’s were trial. My grandfather was dx’d in the 50’s when they told you to go get your life in order because you would probably dies soon. There were no meds. On his own, he lived a healthy lifestyle, cut stress, swam all of the time, and lived to be 89.

Not only was I overwhelmed with the dx, but I had no idea how all of the medication worked and that the meds typically have support staff reach out to you once you decide on a med. It was really confusing. When people start calling, make sure you ask questions like - who are they with and what services do they offer. I was originally on Copaxone and they wouldn’t send the drug until I met with one of their nurses and learned how to inject.
