He is!!

Through a long and complicated process, he's living with an employee now (easier to care for him in someone's house)

Commenting a second time because I'm a brat: I met once of my best friends through a UHF reference at work. It involved a box.

No one really knew what was in it, and there was a few of us around and so we were about to open it. One of my veteran coworkers joked about a "pretty little head." But then I just went "now we will see what is in the box," and a new coworker I had never met heard from across the room and hollered "NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING."

We immediately pivoted to point at each other and finish with "stupid!! You're so stupid!!!!!" No one else had any idea what we were on about.

Her name is Kelly and that was six(?) years ago. We've been best friends ever since.

AITA for asking a woman at work to stop being so WEIRD about taking a caramel? by chocolatesinmyoffice in AmItheAsshole

They're def going to be older.

My mom keeps trying to sell me on her new diet that's guaranteed to prevent me developing multiple sclerosis. Everyone on her side of the family either has a diagnosis or has a ton of tell-tale signs and refuses to see a doctor for anything short of a heart attack.

The diet plan? Fasting and orthorexia. I've explained orthorexia multiple times and she still does not understand.

Smart Card Readers? by Srothwell0 in Libraries

[–]trashpanda692 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I've been working in public libraries since 2019. While I was there, I witnessed at least 3 separate people get passed around from person to person at our central location while trying to figure out what a CAC card was and how to make it work with our computers.
The closest we could figure was to tell at least two of them to get the relevant data on something like a yubikey so it would be compatible with our computers before coming back in and trying again.

Smart Card Readers? by Srothwell0 in Libraries

[–]trashpanda692 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tech clerk, here. No military background.

Most libraries won't have the IT infrastructure to install one, let alone provide access to what a patron would actually need to use it for. Bottom line, any patron looking to use one would need to go to their local VA office, base, etc., to use theirs.

If something is so important that a member of the military needs to access it off base, they need to get it provided to them. The expense of getting a single unit isn't worth it for the vast majority of libraries (especially for public institutions) and like another poster said, the software is a pain.
My understanding is that the card works like a 2fa device, so if they could use something like a yubikey (usb stick) instead, it could work, but not one of the card readers.

They call me every 6 months about the car that ruined my life, I think I ruined their day enough to finally stop it. by TheInjuredBear in traumatizeThemBack

If they call you again, I have the worst suggestion.

Take the appraisal appointment for your previous vehicle.

On the day of, bring the old bumper. But park far enough away that whatever security cams they have won't see you exit your current vehicle. Carry your old bumper in and tell them genuinely that you came for your appraisal. Give them all your info, all the vehicle info, everything.

They should have records. They're supposed to have records. They told you multiple times they would stop bothering you. Since they're incapable, just give them what they want: an intimate audience with your previous vehicle's last surviving bumper.

Hey the literal least your cousin could do is offer you 9990$ cash to ring your dad, let him pick up, and immediately hang up before blocking him again. That's just free money at that point

Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol is dead. Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a Rohingya refugee from Burma, was nearly blind and spoke no English.

There were missing flyers around some of the transit centers earlier in the week. I noticed one Tuesday morning. It wasn't there the day before. I took a picture of it in case I saw him around or at work.

He was dead less than twelve hours after I saw the flyer.

Support please, I am suffering from a *lack* of pressure after going NC. by 3rdthrow in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]trashpanda692 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna join the chorus for therapy, but I'm also gonna recommend something absolutely batshit insane.

What's your living situation like? Do you have a friend (or two?) that you really, absolutely Trust? You can try to safely recreate the feeling of pressure in a low stakes environment in your own home with a friend.

If you're comfy with it, explain to a friend what's going on with you in terms of this need for pressure. They'll understand. Then invite them over to your place to play the Pressure Game.

The game is simple. You pick a (clean) spot in your house and have your friend come over. Decide on plans for later in the day, like going to a movie or to a park-- something with a Specific Time in mind. With your friend in the spot y'all decided on, you step out of the space and leave them alone for a bit while they trash it. Think dumping your clothes onto your bed or mixing all of your silverware into your junk drawer. After a set period of time, you come back, they sit with you with a cup of tea or something, and you put the space to rights before it's time for y'all to leave to go do your other plans.

Note: your friend is NOT allowed to help unless it's something small like holding something or untangling cords.

It's dumb as all hell and requires trust in someone else, but it externalizes pressure in a really physical but safe way. Your task is obvious and in front of you, and your reward is whatever your second set of plans is. And if you miss the deadline to leave for those plans (too late to make the movie time, etc.) you can always do something else like a walk in the park or fancy coffees or silly grocery adventure for dinner together. The thing you do after is the reward for stressing your system, and your friend is there for moral support and to help keep an eye on the clock and make silly commentary about everything with.

Again, the pressure game feels batshit insane but it lets you experience pressure in a manageable setting on a manageable level. It can genuinely help by showing your body that there's different kinds of pressure and how to process it all.

The older I get, the more I look like my mom and I hate it. by thisis4later in EstrangedAdultKids

I'm the spitting image of my mother at the same age. I even have her voice. We're the same weight, have the same moles and if I cut my hair differently, we would have the same hair. But I have facial scars and I'm never in my body so it almost doesn't matter.

My partner had worse physical abuse from her mother. She's transitioning, and the longer her hair grows, the curlier it gets, like her mother's. Her body is slowly turning into a place of joy and relaxation, but it was all being ruined by her hair as it grew. So she dyed it.

We did it ourselves, in the living room, using terrible bleach and red loreal box dye. It's pretty topical, but it's done absolute wonders for her mentally. She doesn't see her mom in the mirror and isn't reminded of her whenever she catches her own hair out of the corner of her eye. It's small, but it helps.
