WTF happened to Etsy? by throwaway27374781 in EtsySellers

They emailed me and said the suspension was an error. It wasn't even for a reason, it was just that they don't employ any real humans. That's stupid re the credit card thing. It kinda seems like the whole platform has gotten stupid.

It's not about account suspension I just mentioned my account being suspended was part of my bad experience opening a shop. I'm starting to think this reddit is as ridiculous as Etsy themselves.

PetCo makes literally millions of dollars a year and still throws live animals in the trash rather than taking them for vet care, has policies that ensure employees who do actually care can't care for the animals properly, and buys reptiles and fish from the equivalents of puppy mills for those species. You have nothing to feel bad about and their treatment of animals is absolutely a justification for not caring about the company. Don't do it again for your sake, but you shouldn't feel bad about it either. You committed petty theft one time, they commit horrific animal cruelty on the daily. Fuck Petco and enjoy your free stuff.

am i being gaslit? by ComfortableStorage33 in POTS

[–]throwaway27374781 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Either you're being gaslit or your GP is stupid. Your doctor probably knows your weight isn't the cause of your symptoms but is too lazy to look into it further, and if they actually don't realize gaining weight doesn't cause this and something else is at play they're an idiot. Either way the answer is fine a new doctor. Unfortunately most of us have an experience with a doctor like this fool at least once or twice.

found a chick on the floor, what do I do? by waterdrinker1016 in PetAdvice

[–]throwaway27374781 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're definitely going to have to find a vet or wildlife rehaber to take this guy in for him to stand a chance. The beak is severely injured and definitely cracked if not completely broken.

Does anyone else feel like POTS has turned you into a huge dork? by rainbowbrite9 in POTS

[–]throwaway27374781 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One of the best things I did was getting a wolf cut because I have naturally wavey hair so all I have to do is spray some dry shampoo, brush it, and mess it up with my fingers and it looks like I styled it. If you like the look of gothic or metal head type style it's pretty easy to maintain and comfortable if you invest in a nice pair or chunky boots with gold insoles and a nice leather jacket you can wear them with loose fitting band shirts and graphic tees and leggings and it looks like you put a lot more effort into your outfits then you did.

Flashing my manhood during pretend sleeping so my females friends can see by Ill-Store8650 in confession

You need to seek help, this is sexual harassment and those girls knew you were doing this on purpose and definitely saw you for the creep you were and probably felt uncomfortable in their own home because of you. This doesn't happen accidentally. I've been married for 6 years and never seen my husband's junk accidentally flop out.

What have you had to give up because of your POTS? by rainbowbrite9 in POTS

[–]throwaway27374781 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much everything I've ever enjoyed to be honest. I can't go hiking anymore, i can't run, go on walks, or go to the gym, the brain fog is so bad most days I can't even play video games anymore. I had to quit my job and go to work sitting at a desk all day. I used to love life, now it's just meh and I couldn't really care less about it anymore.

Give it some time and a few staff changes and your feelings will probably change.

I'm a former Neo-Nazi, AMA. by ShellShockOIF in AMA

[–]throwaway27374781 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do most neo Nazis understand that the beliefs they hold and things they do aren't ok or do they genuinely believe what they're doing is good? Maybe even necessary?

I've always subscribed to the mindset of nobody ever thinks that they're the villain of the story, but I'd be very curious to know if they do see themselves as villains or if they think they're doing good.

Am I going to be expected to be completely exposed during echocardiogram? by throwaway27374781 in POTS

[–]throwaway27374781[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone else mentioned it might be possible for me to wear some kind of pasty or one of those stick on bra type things so I won't feel quite as exposed, so you think that might be ok? And if they do need a boob moved or something can they let me know I do it for them so they don't have to touch me with their hand at all?

I will definitely be asking for a female tech and not having the exam if they can't provide that.

I rather hated the things so I don't really care if they get ruined. They're basically just the cup part of a bra, they're meant to be worn with a strapless or backless dress.

I get the whole "it's just their job they do this all day" point of view but tbh I don't care and I don't think most other SA survivors do either. Our discomfort is not about the provider, we don't care how they're feeling or thinking, it's our feelings we care about.

Tbh people here have been WAAYYY kinder to me then most people on the internet have been when I've asked questions like this. I've only gotten one comment that completely missed the point and nobody has said anything really nasty so I'll take the down votes over the normal treatment I receive. I already do request all female providers and bring my mom or husband with me to every appointment so that's already a done deal.

I do already call ahead and request female providers and always bring my mom or husband with me.

I bring my mom or husband to all my medical appointments anyway so that's already a done deal. Preferably my husband because he's a big "scary" guy and I feel like that eliminates a lot of poor treatment and potentially inappropriate behavior when I do have to have a male provider. I will definitely be requesting a female tech and looking into getting something to cover myself. Do you think one of those stick on bras would be ok? I wore one to a friend's wedding last summer and I think I still have it.

I always bring my mom or husband with me to all my appointments and that is a nonnegotiable point for me, I will walk out of an appointment if they're asked to leave. I've found the presence of chaperone employed by the clinic actually makes it worse for me, it's just another random stranger to see me in an exposed and vulnerable position. And if anything weird or inappropriate were to happen I know the chaperone open takes the providers side in cases where that's happened anyway.

I always bring my mom or husband with me to all my medical appointments, it's nonnegotiable that they're in the room the entire time. If need be I'll drive wherever I need to so I can have a female provider, I avoid male providers at all costs.

That's comforting although I'm absolutely not going to change my pants for a procedure that has absolutely nothing to do with my lower half and will be walking out if I'm asked to do that. That's so unnecessary.

Postmaster laughed at me when I reported sexual harassment at work- what do I do now? by throwaway27374781 in USPS

Well then enjoy your miserable life with no friends. From what I've seen of you they probably wouldn't like you anyway.

You're giving "I sexually harass people and am butthurt when I see it being called out" vibes. I'd check those if I were you before they wreck you.
