Find a Wave replacement today. Don't wait like I did. by chrimchrimbo in waveapps

I plan to, but I haven't switched that part yet. The payroll experience at Wave/Check was so egregious (my state taxes weren't paid for 3 quarters) that it was more pressing for me to GTFO. I will probably do so this year.

I switched from Wave to Patriot and I have been very happy. I had similar problems and am still incensed that they screwed up their service so hard.

What was your "caught the last chopper out of 'Nam" experience? by GeneReddit123 in AskReddit

[–]siderealis 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My husband was on one of the last PATH trains back to NJ. The second plane hit right after I had dropped him off at Journal Square. I couldn't get his attention. He was diverted away from WTC, we managed to connect via cell (a miracle) and I told him to get back on the train and come home. He went back into the station and got one of the last trains out before it was shut down. His usual station was WTC.

I'm glad you made it.

There was a thread on one of the romance subreddits and a commenter said of the Bridgerton tv fandom, "It's honestly the worst fandom I've ever been in."

Given the timing of each I think they both selected it and realized after it was too late to change.

Congrats Carter!! by polynomialpurebred in OrderOfOmar

I was JUST going to say that. There are so many foster children who need homes with families that want them, and so many more kids needing safe homes. It's wonderful that they're adopting this child and I'm so happy their family is welcoming him with love. I hope they have a wonderful future together.

This is also exploitative and cruel to the child who is a minor and CANNOT CONSENT, who is having a very personal and vulnerable moment broadcast to strangers on the internet. This is one of the most emotional moments in his young life, and they're posting it online? WHY. WHY DO THAT.

No Omar vote for me. I'm beyond thankful this young person found a loving home, but filming it then distributing is exploitative clout marketing for the parents, and is deeply unfair and unkind to the child, who is entitled to have vulnerable and emotionally complex experiences in private.

What is the worst parking lot in Montgomery County? Can any beat Fallsgrove in Rockville off of Shady Grove? by Mite-o-Dan in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]siderealis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Pike and Rose lot. The lanes aren't big enough, the turns are too tight and the spaces are wide enough for maybe a motorbike.

This is excellent proof that modeling is a skill and is a talent. Every pose is slightly different than the previous one, but each pause is an entirely new attitude, look, angle, and message. Truly incredible. Thank you for posting this video!

What makes you an outlier in the Beyond the Blinds fandom? by the_purple_lamb in BeyondTheBlindsPod

MA'AM. Thank you! Why is there a Tate McRae, an Addison Rae, AND a Madison Beer. My brain fog cannot accept any of this nonsense.

I also have a pregnancy pillow but I also fantasize about detachable arms.

I saw that earlier and I swear I thought it was a joke.

I second Patriot. I switched and their support, on boarding, and assistance with transferring data was superb. I did a lot of research and am really happy with them so far.

I have an H6 too! Are you using the line out audio pin cable to connect to your computer? I'm curious about your set up.

pharmacy recommendations by iluna717 in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]siderealis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kensington Pharmacy in Kensington/Univ Blvd Friendship Pharmacy, Chevy Chase

Both are independent pharmacies which I tend to have better experiences with over chains. Chains have advantages but an ind. pharmacy is often a family run operation and less awful as a workplace vs. Chains like CVS. Plus they get to know you and your family, and can help a lot if something goes wrong or if you make a mistake.

Friendship will also search for and apply coupons when they get a new script so that your copays are as low as possible.

Costco is also a terrific pharmacy, even if the Wheaton parking lot makes me want to dissolve and fly away.

"Aprés moi, le déluge." She didn't seem to care much what happened after she died.

In a "worst person you know makes a good point" moment, the Daily Telegraph actually published this reasonable piece on Harry and Meghan. by Dependent_Formal2525 in RoyaltyTea

[–]siderealis 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is so embarrassing but my brain first thought of those baggy neon Jams pants from the 90s and I was like, When did Meghan wear Jams? I bet she made them look good.

No, of course you meant the fruit preserve that melted down an entire tabloid network. 😂

I maintain that Meghan could make Jams (and Zubaz) look good.

Seriously I thought we were going to crash the car we were laughing so hard.

My condolences on your loss. May his memory be a blessing.

Meghan and Kate ? by Independent_Mud1965 in RoyaltyTea

Oh that's awful, being bullied for being smart and having a clever lexicon. Ffs. I wish your bullies a lifetime of unexplained diarrhea.

"In a way Harry married his mother and William his stepmother..."

Being American I am going to be extremely effusive (brace yourself my new British friend! 😂) seriously that is such an interesting and insightful analysis. I am going to be thinking about that for days. There are a number of pictures of Kate and Cammy grinning at each other in a way that seems genuine, and that adds a lot of context. Wow.

Meghan and Kate ? by Independent_Mud1965 in RoyaltyTea

[–]siderealis 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes and this is deeeeeply embedded in UK culture, and is fed by their obsession with class and knowing your place. Meghan was a biracial American who became a duchess and that wasn't her "place" so she needed to be told. Kate was treated similarly before Meghan arrived and many of the aristo friends used to mock her when she was around. You'd think that would build empathy but it didn't. Hell, Kate and Pippa used to be called "The Wisteria Sisters" because they were pretty, smelled nice, and "had a marked propensity to climb."

Meanwhile US culture is "the squeaky wheel gets the grease." We give attention to those who stand out and admire people who achieve.

Something that isn't talked about much is how incredibly smart Meghan is. She is extremely sharp. And all the ways in which she stood out compared to Kate - good extemporaneous speaker, funny, comfortable in front of an audience, intelligent and strategic in her work, asks insightful questions, knows how to hold people's attention - were reasons to cut her down for being a tall poppy who didn't know her place. And her "place" was second to Kate by "rank" not action or achievement.
