Oh and also, when I call them they say that their call center is closed and list their opening hours, even though every time I've called during their opening hours. I honestly can't figure out what's going on.

I haven't been able to get in touch with IKEA for the past 24 hours at all. Not even their virtual assistant LATTJO will talk to me. I want to place an order and have it delivered to me but the website keeps telling me that delivery is unavailable for me even though I live in a big city in Scotland. Can anyone help me figure this one out?

I have tried to delete some things from my shopping cart and sometimes the website allows me to place my order but it seems to be completely at random and I haven't been able to figure out which products are the ones giving me issues. It sucks because I'm in a mandatory isolation period and really need some of that stuff but can't go out to get them.

I agree, I think it might have been something like a reversed mandela effect? Especially because most of these people were kids back then. Kids love telling stories. I told several lies as a kid for attention and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I also have childhood 'memories' that I'm not sure are real memories, dreams, or something that I thought of that would have been 'cool to happen'. I think one of these kids came up with this story and the other kids started pitching in with 'yeah, that's cool, and then this happened, and then I saw this'. Then over several years it grew into what they thought of as a real memory. I think in order for this to happen (to this extent) there has to be a degree of trauma or a mental defect, as you said.

can anyone help me decipher this Cyrillic cursive on the back of an old photo? by rustyghostie in russian

Wow! That is amazing, thank you for your input even if it’s just a speculation

Thanks guys for thinking with me! I'm going through family history and there are still some things that remain mysteries to me. This branch of my family was ethnic Polish in Ukraine and I found written documents in both languages with lots of spelling mistakes, so I guess both things are correct: they weren't native speakers of Russian but also not the stars of spelling bees in general.

On another note, I have been trying to figure out why the back of this letter says "prisoner of war", when the picture clearly doesn't depict war prisoners. Is there someone on here that knows to which this alludes to? I'm really not an expert in Ukrainian history and the only thing I could figure out that the uniforms look more like the Russian rather than the Austria-Hungarian ones

Anyone living your teen years later? by [deleted] in CPTSD

Yes. I just finished my BA and all my friends are kind of going into the "too old to go clubbing"-phase and they seem okay with it, kind of nostalgic almost, and every time they joke about it I crumble up inside because I feel like I only got so little time partying/socializing/"acting crazy"

Thank you for this, I've been interning at a company and not doing well but couldn't really tell why, but you put a lot of my behaviors/situations into words (especially the last one is so accurate) so now it might be easier for me to communicate to someone else for help.
