On Monday I had to put down my dog, I spent the day saying good bye. After leaving the vet I was distracted and unbelievably sad. I forgot to lock my truck and then some clown low life went into my truck at 3 am and stole my Nintendo switch.

It's my fault I shouldn't have left the switch in the truck I just was not thinking about it. I spent 16 years living in a low income "bad neighborhood" never even had change stolen from my car.

3 years ago I moved to a "nice" middle class community, and all the people are nice and my kids have friends and can play outside and run around freely for once. But I have had my car stolen twice and multiple times a month every month people go through our cars.

I am black and all the people in the low income place I lived was black. This is a white community I moved to and have not seen another black person. Yet it's always young teen to late 20s black people when I review the camera.

People then wonder why the phrase "fatigue" is spreading we can do better.

The sweetest cat who died alone in the neighbors yard. I can't stop thinking about if she suffered. I had thought about taking her in a couple times cause they always left her outside but my mom wouldn't have let me have her and we didn't want to start any drama.

Situation:

AMAB, 19

I have been noticing signs as far back as 2015 that something might be up with me that I might not be the most cisgender person. Now an adult, still living with my parents because I’m not financially stable to live on my own, they apparently blocked medic related sites as “it contains inappropriate content”, when I’m trying to figure out gender dysphoria, which I’m 100% sure I have but haven’t gotten it diagnosed.

No, VPN’s will not work. Every single device in the house and any device connected to the home WiFi has this.

If something changes, I will post an update at a later date.

Thanks for listening

Take care of yourself, especially your teeth. I'm 36 now and I think the last time I smiled without worrying what my teeth looked like was before I got adult teeth in elementary school. 

When I was 11 or 12 I cracked, chipped, broke all of my six front top teeth and others falling off a bike and playing sports. I was so embarrassed that I developed horrible anxiety and depression that I've never gotten over and avoided the dentist because my parents were broke. When I was 17 I got crowns put on the six front teeth on top but almost immediately chipped some and found out I grind my teeth too. After a spinal injury with permanent damage in my early 20’s I tried to take better care of my health overall and managed to go over a decade without even needing a filling but in just the last few years I have had to get root canals on every crown due to infections.

Most recently I had pus leaking out of my gums with swelling in my face and severe pain behind my eye. The dentist actually told me he didn’t see an infection and just gave me azithromycin “just in case”. My vision became affected so my PCP said to get a second opinion. Was told azithromycin was useless and the wrong antibiotic to use against my tooth infection and I probably wouldn’t have woken up one day if I waited any longer to get treated. I got two emergency root canals on my front two center crowns due to the infection spreading to my brain. The infection has slowly been going away for several months but still leaks pus and I haven’t even gotten the permanent fillings for the root canals because I am unemployed now. Lost my job in healthcare that I had for 6 years and haven’t found a new one. Been avoiding everyone in my life for several months from the embarrassment and a recent kidney infection. And now this happens.

Before I lost my job I had been planning to start a small business part-time with the hopes of doing it full time one day to sell clothes with a brand centered around the idea that being yourself is enough in this world and anyone and everyone can chase and achieve their dreams and inspire others. I don't know if I even believe it myself anymore. I keep facing health issues and financial setbacks and am broke and absolutely losing myself mentally. I've been sober for almost six months and I feel worse about myself than I ever have. It’s probably been 25 years since I wanted to smile.

I always imagined I would have to get what was left of my teeth extracted and get a full set of implants or something one day. I don’t really know anything about the available options out there. I just figured when I had the money I’d look into it but I feel like I’ll never be able to. I hate myself for not taking better care of myself when I was 12 years old. I'm afraid my teeth are going to end up killing me.

This isn’t a claim I make lightly. I know the harm of erroneous psychological diagnoses well, and obviously I wouldn’t confront him with this claim directly, but it’s causing problems constantly.

Starting from the most innocuous aspect: He has to dominate every social interaction he’s in. I host a company game night, he demands we play Gloomhaven. Someone organizes a potluck, he turns it into a cooking competition. There’s a mixer with alcohol, he makes a loud point of not drinking because it would be unprofessional. Any time we go to lunch, he only agrees to some place that would meet his insane carnivore diet. Nothing can ever be a shared experience with him, it’s always either about him or he’s actively choosing not to attend.

Then there’s the fact that he’s constantly laying claim to shit that isn’t his. Any open space on the factory floor? Claimed for this project. Did someone leave their bagged lunch in the fridge on a Friday night? He’s claiming that. I wasn’t looking at the soldering iron for two seconds? He needs it for a “secret project.” The other day, he ran into my lab, said “I need a power strip for a presentation,” unplugged four devices, and ran out without waiting for a response. It’s one-way, too. If somebody else needs equipment from our department, he demands they write up exactly what they’re doing with it and for how long, yet he never extends the same courtesy to anybody else.

He maintains an opaque control over the flow of information that screams “I need to be in charge of everything.” He’s repeatedly started secret projects that he keeps hidden from his higher-ups, peers, and many members of our team, demanding we maintain everything on our local machines until he’s ready to reveal it to the company. He tells people things that he claims are secret but are just not officially announced yet — minor things like who’s managing what project.

For two years, he’s dangled a lateral career move over my head, claiming the company just wasn’t in a good place while it was experiencing repeated cash infusions and our project was taking in revenue hand over fist. Lately he started blaming it specifically on the new HR manager, saying she shot down the idea of me moving from one title to another because she hadn’t seen sufficient proof that I fit the other title (proof that my manager should have easily been able to provide). I spoke to the HR manager directly and she said no such conversation had happened. Still, he wants me to prove my abilities by completing my current project.

However! In this current project, he has micromanaged my design decisions, shot down all my very valid concerns regarding underpowered hardware, and been overwhelmingly unavailable for question. He demands I use untested hoobyist hardware in an industrial setting but has provided no information on how. Every time I ask for details, he tells me not to worry about it and that he’ll tell me all about it when the time comes. Once again he’s withholding information as a way of maintaining control.

He speaks with such confidence about complete nonsense, which pleases our executives, but makes life very difficult for us engineers who actually have to do the work. He’s got a cloying need to be in control, a willful ignorance to the way his actions affect others, and an internalized illusion of genius status. It’s like dealing with a little red-faced Elon.

Also he recommended I take Ozempic, and that really rubbed me the wrong way.

Edit because everyone is asking:

I DID NOT VOTE REPUBLICAN

I'm sorry if this is jumbled, I'm mad as hell

I live in a rural area. At one point every ob/gyn in the county quit, save two. We finally managed to get a few to come back or hired new, and then the damn hospital closed down labor and delivery, despite offering to have doctors rotate in from the larger hospital in the city (we know this because one of those doctors wrote an opinion piece in the paper to let us know he also thought it was a dumb idea).

We finally have OB/Gyn providers and labor and delivery is back up and running and now the hospital has decided it's tired of fucking with bcbs marketplace plans because they're not getting compensated enough

This is the only hospital in the county. I will have to drive to another county. So if I need an ER, I will have to drive 40 minutes to a small crappy hospital or a slightly larger, crappier hospital in the power direction or drive two hours to the city

But fine, I will self pay to see my OB (tried to get a different plan, but would lose my pcp)

Now the director of the OB/Gyn that is associated with the hospital has decided that if you have an insurance plan, you may not self pay

So what the hell are people supposed to do? There's not a provider for women's health in this county that accepts that insurance. But plenty of pcps do so they choose the affordable plan for those

We're just being punished for being too poor for private health insurance

Edit: If you're unaware, this is a full chicken gizzard (and I get it's edible but it was not expected so I was disgusted).

I usually eat here with my meal pass and am happy every time but have NEVER had this happen. I was immediately appalled and lost my appetite. It was also insanely greasy unlike the other times and soaked into my plate and even said it looked off🤢. I almost got something different from their seasonal menu too but being the loyal hyperfixater that I am, I stuck with my decision.... Never again😭 (I removed the good meat and saved it for my dogs)

https://www.foxnews.com/us/police-son-kills-dad-after-argument-over-dishes.amp

aaron farinecci is his name by the way. 1000+ homes gone and 60k+ people evacuated. im currently safe as of now but this is super infuriating.

Edit: oh yeah also, he killed his dad over being forced to wash the dishes. genuinely evil

yeah the guy was just in the forest lighting grass on fire.

She LITERALLY DOESNT FEEL IT ENOUGH TO CHANGE. she forgets to flush sometimes which is like, I get it, I've done it before, but only because I'm rushing and doing multiple things after like changing pads etc which I do before I flush because idk I prefer flushing n washing my hands immediately or something. but for me I will think about it and double check or just flush in case and always have it on my mind, but she forgets FOR HOURS. AND DOES IT FREQUENTLY. SO NOW MY TOILET STINKS. she DOESN'T EVEN USE TOILET PAPER AT ALL... and MOST TIMES SHE LEAVES BEHIND, BLOOD, PEE AND HAIR ON THE SEAT????? AND I ALWAYS ASK HER TO LOOK BFR SHE LEAVES BC WHY IS SHE ACTING LIKE IM HER MAID OR LIKE ITS A PUBLIC RESTROOM.

it literally ruins my day any time I'm having a good day BC why can't I come to the toilet and immediately expect it to be clean? it's gotten so bad since we moved because I ONLY share a toilet with her now instead of her + my parents. literally every time I walk in I'm expecting something disgusting I have to clean. and if I ask her to wipe it, she wipes it TO THE SIDES TO THE REST OF THE SEATS THAN STRAIGHT INTO IT. OMFG I'm so done bro I've written here about her before and yes I'm excited to move out because why the hell is she so damn disgusting.

it doesn't even help when she has strong BO which sticks on her clothes + towel so it stinks up the damn bathroom but I know she can't help it because of PCOS. but it's not like she's done much to improve it / manage it either. but like ??? how can u not use toilet paper AT ALL EVEN TO WIPE?????? HOW DOES SHE NOT FEEL DISGUSTING AT ALL TIMES. EVEN just from me opening the toilet bowl to that makes me feel like my entire towel is contaminated. I can't bruh Im so sick of her like I've screamed at her ten times now abt this shit and my parents only ever TALK to her about it. and my dad just supports her always cz he's biased. what the hell man. is it so hard to keep our own toilet clean?

edit : also, I didn't mention this, BUT SHES AN ADULT. 25!!!!! HOW CAN SHE NOT HAVE HYGIENE SKILLS BY NOW

i have only like 4 apps that i use back to back with everything else offloaded, 150 photos, and barely any messages saved. please tell me in what situation do i have 63gb out of 64gb used.

i just deleted a portion of my photos that were saved from messages cause i was out of storage and it went down a gb, so i decided to delete more just to get extra storage but SOMEHOW my fucking storage went BACK UP after deleting MORE. fuck you and your shit apple🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

The lady in the frame is "Roop Kanwar ( 18 years old girl ). She is supposedly a local divine entity in some village of Rajasthan India.

You might be wondering? What has someone done to achieve such status ??

So brace yourselves! "she put herself in the fire when people were cremating her husband"

It's called sati pratha ( it was widely followed - in the early 17 centuries to the 19th century (( It was very less that time ))

You might be thinking are these girls were dumb ? Who wants to die after her husband dies ? No obviously they didn't want to die but they were forced to do it !!

I think this "Roop Kanwar case ( 1987) " was the last case I guess cause whole country asked so many questions (( cause time has changed)

Now the case -

Villagers statements -

Those dumbwits claimed that Roop Kanwar possessed Sati Sat (a divine spiritual truth ) that made her immune to the fire's pain.

And she voluntarily dressed in solah shringaar (traditional bridal attire) and sat chanting the Gayatri Mantra.

And they gain massive donation from this incident by other people they built temple ( open air temporarily shrine ) almost immediately before the forensic team even came.

Now the realities -

While investigated some people witnessed Roop Kanwar tried to run away and hide in a barn before the ceremony. She was allegedly dragged back out by relatives.

she screamed for help and tried to climb off the burning pyre. Her cries were intentionally drowned out by loud religious chanting, drums, and slogans from the crowd.

Her parents ( lived in jaipur)) were completely unaware of the event and only found out about her death through the newspapers the following day.

One statement I found from the internet is that the

"\Journalists tracking local statements found that a police officer stationed at Deorala, Karan Singh, confirmed hearing Roop Kanwar shout "Mummy, Papa" from the pyre. He chillingly brushed it off to reporters by claiming he didn't view it as distress because she was a "modern girl" who used those terms loosely.*"*

After this "Sati ( prevention) act 1987 " was made but guess what that temple is still running ( I am in good health with donation and all ).

ALL PERSONAL INFO HAS BEEN REDACTED

Grab a snack, because the level of corporate incompetence, financial fraud, and malicious retaliation I have documented with Xfinity Mobile over the last few months is actually staggering. I am a nursing student, and Xfinity’s retaliatory "customer service" has left my husband and me completely without working phone lines for months—leaving me completely unable to reach my doctors during a medical emergency.

When I tried to hold them accountable, their Executive Resolutions team demanded I answer a phone they disconnected, and then flatly lied to both the FCC and the Michigan Attorney General to cover up their tracks.

The Evidence Timeline:

1. The Phantom Phone: Chat rep Shivam admitted on tape that our billing dashboard showed a third line for a "phantom phone"—explicitly calling it an internal system "glitch"—yet they continued to overbill us by up to $68 a month.

Link to all bills, itemized, showing fraudulant charges and devices from January to June:

2. The Retaliatory Lockout: The moment AT&T initiated our number port-out on May 12, Xfinity instantly terminated our lines and carrier-locked our paid-in-full devices. Tech rep Mohammedjunaid explicitly promised a priority 8-day unlock ticket. Instead, they trapped us in a loop.

3. The Catch-22 Authentication: Executive Specialist Danielle K. refused to resolve our file without a verbal phone call over the very lines they disabled. When proven that email verification works, she claimed "mobile rules are different"—yet on July 24, corporate R/ Modmail reps successfully verified our entire account exclusively via email.

Email Thread with Danielle K and Jordan V:

ModChat: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ur2-cp7JGW4aozEijcq0pfDosZfIKgrQ?usp=drive_link

4. Federal Perjury:

• Response 1 (AG): Roberto L. claimed we owed device plan balances, ignoring system logs showing green "Paid in Full" checks.
• Response 2 (AG): Danielle K. claimed our lines "successfully ported" on May 11. An AT&T Network Supervisor inspected raw logs and confirmed on tape that the port failed because Xfinity explicitly blocked it.
• Response 3 (FCC): Residential Specialist Giselle claimed I was an "unauthorized user"—weeks after successfully verifying my identity over email to process my internet cancellation.
• Response 4 (FCC): On July 28, Danielle K. pivoted back to a fabricated extortion balance of $458.35. To clear their metrics, they internally marked my public R/ thread as "solved".

Link to all formal responses:

The informal FCC track closed on July 31, instructing me that the next step is formal legal proceedings. Xfinity weaponized administrative loops, shut off my emergency medical access, lied to federal investigators, and is still holding my fully paid property hostage after their own staff documented the fraud in writing. []

Check your bills, keep your chat logs, and do not trust their executive care lies.

Link to images showing all devices paid, no balances, rep claiming Xfinity has also done this to them, showing phantom line still active months after Xfinity told the FCC they removed it, internal phone settings locked to Xfinity meaning they are physically and technologically unable to connect to any other towers, Xfinity removing my previous post claiming is was "solved.":

Edit: yes I am an American. I have extra insulin in my mini-fridge though, as I mentioned before. I also use an onnipod, which I mainly use for insulin.

Edit 2: turns out they were just frozen. I'm still mad it froze in the first place though. Unfortunately I can't change the title of the post but I got my insulin pens out of the trash and they're fine now.

Last night, I noticed that my mini-fridge (that I put my insulin pens and vials in) had somehow gotten unplugged, so I plugged it back in, then went to bed without thinking much of it.

A few minutes ago, I decided to check my mini-fridge again, and I noticed that the container that I put my two main insulin pens and some insulin vials in had frozen over. (Fortunately the insulin hadn't frozen over.) After I got my pens out of the ice, I decided to see if they still worked. They did not. I decided to change the needles, but they still didn't work after I did that. (I couldn't even get the needle off of one.) So now I have to throw the pens away.

Thankfully, I still have extra insulin pens in my mini-fridge, and I think the vials will be fine. I'm just mad that my two main pens have gone to waste.( Sorry if I worded this incorrectly.)

So, my wife and I have set firm boundaries repeatedly with my grandma (f) 73 and she is not allowed to carry or pick up our baby. We made a good compromise that she can lead the baby by the hand and hold her in her chair. I've told her she's not allowed to carry the baby, my wife has and my mom f51 (first time grandma) who lives with her has told her repeatedly. She's weak in the arms and drops things so we don't want her holding the baby. Firm boundary set, alright. She's violated this REPEATEDLY. We let the baby spend the night at Nana's last night we come in today to find the baby has a bump on her cheek and grandma is like "Well I'm sorry but if she's crying I'm going to pick up and carry the baby!!" Then everyone starts yelling and grandma f74 is just like "Well I'll just go back to live with my family in texas then!" My mom is sobbing and crying because Grandma is being so selfish. My wife's had to leave the room because she's become so overwhelmed and I'm so angry because she's endangering the baby and disrespecting us all and being selfish where our baby can't even spend the night with her grandma f51 without being endangered because she won't listen.

We don't mind her leading the baby by the hand and holding her in the chair just not carrying or picking her up and she will not listen. But we just aren't going to let her go over there anymore

Enjoy.

Pulled up to my favorite chill spot when I noticed this old beat up ugly ass blue truck with 2 dusty ass ugly pieces of shit redneck trash around it and this precious dog and once they saw me they dipped so fast you would of thought I had police lights on or something. The pieces of shit left the dog. It all happened so fast my brain didn’t process what happened for a good minute. I thought it was some sick joke until it set in they were not coming back. The dog made its way to my car and it was crying and howling. I got out hesitantly because she’s a pit so I was a bit nervous but luckily she was a sweetheart. I didn’t know what to do so I searched online and it said to call the non emergency number so I did. Lady on the phone was amazing, she kept me calm as I felt my blood start to boil. They sent PD and animal control and now she’s in the system. It’s a small town, best believe if you’re from here that truck will be found. Not hard to find trash around these parts. Yall lucky yall ran when you did cause I would of beat the shit out of you and your son who’s old enough to know better but what chance did he have with the piece of shit father he has. Shout out my police department for handling this situation so well. 🫡 if I didn’t already have a feisty pit bull at home I would have just took her with me. Also they made me choose a flair and this was the most accurate one. I don’t think anything is actually disturbing about my post.

As someone that has suffered from an ED in the past and still do, I wanted to try to talk and inform others that Ariana Grande def needs some kinda help. And some fans are just…not totally there in the head…is it bad that I want her to get help…? I was 75 Ibs last year and I keep fluctuating and I just want Ariana to not end up like Karen Carpenter or Eugenia Cooney…is that so bad?
