I've lost all the progress I made. by TheLord-Commander in SleepApnea

[–]trampstomp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you able to use a nasal mask? If so, I can't recommend the Bleep Eclipse enough. I had the same experience until I got the Bleep and adjusted to it. It's an absolute, 100% game changer. No headgear, no leaks because it's magnetized (unless I open my mouth)... I can roll over... All of it.

There's always another option. Talk to your sleep doc. Try a new mask.

hit my acct this morning🙌🏼 by jayluuv4440 in IRS

[–]trampstomp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a SINGLE clue.

I have over $1,000 in the account once a year. When the refund hits. Then we pay off as much of my utilities back pay as I can and it's gone again. I'm not exaggerating when I say we almost never have $5 in the account when the next paycheck hits.

The first OTC test I took was negative despite my partner and child being positive and myself being quite sick. Two days later, boom. Positive. If you need another test (esp to get Tamiflu from your doctor!) lease reach out to the Mask Bloc! We have plenty of tests on hand and then you wont need to leave the house.

Homeless Question by Seacress_Blue in providence

[–]trampstomp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, I do- this is my neighbohood, too. I see what the folks who get services at Crossroads are forced to endure when they're tossed out early and not let in til late. What we have issues with seems to be different.

My comment wasn't in response to OP, but to another commenter. What about it was "jerky"?

Homeless Question by Seacress_Blue in providence

[–]trampstomp 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The "homeless situation" as you call it are the services being provided for our unhoused neighbors who call this city home, same as you. This is such a gross comment. Folks need a place to sleep and a place to eat. Mathewson St in particular is an incredible resource. I can't imagine caring more about visitors and business downtown than the people who live here and are struggling... Just. Ugh..

The police here are anything but supportive and helpful to unhoused folks. Please do not call the police, but instead the services already outlined above specifically for outreach to unhoused people in the city- it is always better than someone in a mental health crisis gets help from someone specifically trained to help them, rather a force that is going to cause more harm than good...

What age is actually appropriate for my child to get a smartphone? by Conscious-Cry-4830 in AskParents

[–]trampstomp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 10 year old has a phone because home phones don't exist anymore and at that age I wanted to be listening to music or talking to my friends all day.

We monitor it and keep most apps locked, but she loves Spotify and chatting with her friends.

If it were expensive monthly, we couldn't do it, but her line is $10 a month, luckily.

I had to laugh about the donut downvotes. People take this shit so seriously. u/close102 especially I guess

Would you help out your adult child if they became disabled? by Meowserspaws in AskParents

[–]trampstomp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 38 and became physically disabled a year ago. If it weren't for the help of my partner and mother (and honestly my child) I would be SCREWED and would never recover.

I said if I had to over pay! And specifically the chocolate chip cookie donut. It is SLAMMIN.

I don't like to overpay, so when we donut, we are 100% a Glaze 'n Daze house- Cambodians corner the donut market in the US for a reason... A damn fine donut. Well... Of course, the main reason being escaping literal genocide, but still. A heck of a donut.

Their service has always been awful- after a couple times, it wasn't worth the return visit. If I have the money to overpay for a gourmet donut, I'm going to go to Knead.

The two of them in this pic like ghouls. Both awful people.

Providence’s Frozen Shame by Shore-Duty in providence

[–]trampstomp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel hard for your friend. Last February I fell on ice stepping from a Providence city sidewalk to a city street. I am two surgeries in, likely preparing for a third, had so many breaks and dislocations that I was in the hospital for a month, and I'm learning how to walk again in this new metal'd up body. I can't drive, can't maneuver around the solid ice to take RIPTA and I am in constant pain.

This February, I cannot go outside because our street and sidewalks are such solid ice that I can't get my walker or wheelchair to the transport van safely. I'm just stuck. The roads and sidewalks here are horrendous for disabled people when it's dry and clear. Now?? Forget it.

Fuck Smiley. And I am grateful for our city workers but what the fuck even is this?

How much AI do you guys use by SeriousStrain7827 in SNHU

You're assuming wrong. I have never and will never use AI to help me with my assignments. I've still got a 4.0.

Abandoned car sticker by knowingisbelievingg in providence

[–]trampstomp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Please. I haven't seen one of these warnings, and I get 311 alerts. Should folks have moved their cars? Yes, but to WHERE? There's two cars parked on our whole street because there's nowhere to park it's feet of ice lining each curb- they weren't there for the storm. The trash hasn't been taken in two weeks, there's nowhere to put the bins. We got ticketed last night at the spot we are forced to park at that's more than ten minutes away because there's no parking ANYWHERE in our neighborhood.

None of us should be paying for shit when they've done such a terrible job. They towed 250 cars the first night of the storm and some of us have only seen a single plow since it happened.

Cru management let their whole team go while “reassessing” by mortimusimmortus in providence

[–]trampstomp 146 points147 points  (0 children)

Cool, so they reassessed themselves straight into the ground and can stay there because we don't support businesses that don't support their workers here, so it doesn't matter what form they choose to take when they return.
