Anything really grinding your gears that you need to get off your chest? Lets talk about it.
Discovered phone launcher I use (Ratio Launcher) got bought out by some shady company , peops who bought their lifetime subs now expected to perpetually drain their wallets to this company . Play store has so many 1⭐ reviews . Hate subscription models so much . At least modded APKs of it exist , where I would be without em
I really dont get the appeal of launchers, is that like an Android thing comparable to Shortcuts/automations?
Not … really ? More like alternate home screen layouts . Some allow custom icon packs
Lawn chair is decent.
Am not asking about alternative launchers
Sorry for the shitty experience and for my comment.
The lack of jewish support for palestine in NDG neighbourhood . Everytime someone posts in ndg groups about palestinians fundrising event it get infiltrated by zionists justfying all verifiable israeli terrorism actions and force admin to delete those posts
I’d just like to let you know that not all Jews support the Israeli government with what’s going on in Palestine right now.
It’s split down political lines. Right wing Jews are more likely to support the Israeli government and their actions, and left leaning and most centrist Jews are appalled.
Please don’t lump all Jews as being supportive of this horrific situation. That’s how you get society (again) to blanket hate all Jews.
I am well aware of that . I hope the edit of my comment will clarify it
That does sound annoying.
NDG
I googled, what is this?
Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, a neighborhood in Montreal, Canada
Working from home. I hate it. If I had a family or a social life and a self-disciplined gym regimen, I’d be fine. But I dont. And I work for yanks, so my hours are all shifted to suit them.
I miss having a daily commute I could work a daily exercise into, colleagues I could passively chat to, social events happening around me.
But I dont. There are no other jobs, just yank work. I just wake late, sleep late, consume fast food, and work.
Damn I am having the exact oppisite experice. I hate dealing with the public and everything that comes with working outside of the house, but all the work from home jobs have been scooped up and its been impossible to find a decent one since COVID. Its extremely annoying to me because I don’t want to go back to retail and feel like I am not being given a choice.
I’m sorry, that sucks. As cliche as it sounds, when I was stuck in a similar rut, the biggest positive influence was to try and go outside regularly. Even if it’s just walking through nature for a couple of minutes every other day, it really helped my energy levels and mood.
Stay strong! I hope you find something better.
Everyone should have the opportunity to work where it suits them best.
I’m glad I have a great environment, and I wish everyone else could find and get into their best workflow, as it’s a waste otherwise.
Your pain is valid and I’m sorry you’re feeling it
Damn I wish my company offered remote work again. I’d take it in a heartbeat.
Sibling has two chores. These chores only need to be done once a week, each.
They consistently forget them in the asshole for telling them no, they still need to do it, just because they ‘forgot’ doesn’t mean they can leave it for next week.
They already changed it to easier chores. So I’m not going to give them something even easier.
I’m scared that I’m developing tinnitus. It started in one ear a few days ago and won’t go away. It’s not getting worse, but also not letting up either. It comes and goes, but when it’s quiet in the room, I can hear it clearly.
No particular event has occurred for it to start, sound wise. No loud things or blasts or anything. But I haven’t been sleeping properly for a good week or so. I should try getting some proper sleep. Maybe? I dunno.
My grandma is basically deaf, and my mother’s hearing got ruined when she was subjected to a house burglar alarm. Having bad hearing is not fun. I also love music and singing and such and I really don’t want to get effed-up hearing. My coworker is also afflicted by tinnitus and has to go to coping therapy and shit. It does not sound like a fun time to have this continuing, or progressing. 😟
The end.
I’m not a medical expert, but I can safely say from experience that tinnitus can be caused by a huge variety of things with most of them not actually being that serious (cold/flu, earwax buildup, meds, infections, etc.). However, like other symptoms that inhibit daily functions, if it persists longer than a week, you should definitely consult a professional (assuming that option is available to you.)
My ankle that I rolled in early December hasn’t healed fully yet Almost, but not quite
Omg I can relate. I rolled my ankle once and it was hurting for months and months, turns out I had a hairline break that never healed correctly; now my ankle is permanently slightly crooked.
We are getting old
I rolled mine badly at the end of Feb and it’s still hurting. X-ray didn’t show a fracture but the doc said sometimes they don’t show up right away.
Sorry to be that guy but an xray won’t show much compared to something like an mri. Get a second opinion and have them do something other then an xray.
Gen AI
The banality of daily life as we slip into authoritarianism. None of this matters.
That for my entire life retirement age has not gone down, health care costs have gone up, and the hours worked per week haven’t changed.
I’m tired.
hours worked per week has gone up for me except when unemployed which is too often.
I hate having to store hop. This happens all of the time to me with Dollar Tree. I live near like 6 dollar tree stores. I’ll be looking for, say, work gloves. So I go to the one next to me, shit, they don’t have it, well now I gotta decide how far I want to go to the next one. I go to the second closest, fuck, they have gloves but not the kind I’m used to. Fuck, gotta go to the third one but now that’s a little further away because I had to drive a bit away from the other two. Same applies to other stores.
It just seems like nothing works the way I expect it should these days, and I’m happy to be wrong, but I don’t think my expectations are that high.
I make an appointment at the driver’s license office for 10 a.m., I kind of expect to be seen around that time, especially since they tell you to show up at least 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment. Certainly, I don’t expect to have to wait 2 hours to be seen.
I go to the store to return an item that was missing parts, I don’t expect to be turned away completely because the “printer is down”. I have the receipt, can’t you just make a copy and refund the very small amount of money or let me exchange it?
I go to the bank to withdraw a few five and ten dollar bills, I don’t expect to be told “I don’t have enough”. I especially don’t appreciate being treated like I’m the first human in history to want specific denominations for a withdrawal.
I get told to return my internet equipment to any of your locations, only to be told you can’t accept that at your store. Why did the customer service person I talked to on the phone say any location, the company website have your location in the list of locations available when I filtered by “returns”, and my final bill state “return equipment to any location” if your location doesn’t accept returns?
I go to the doctor for a specific health concern (that unbeknownst to me is a red flag for a major problem), they give me a medicine that actually exacerbates said major problem without ever mentioning it or testing for it first. You’re the expert and professional, not me, and I guarantee if I’d asked about that major problem because I saw something about it online, you’d have made a snarky comment like “don’t confuse your Google search with my medical degree” or similar.
And all of this, plus much, much more, in just the past month or so.
It’s late April and already starting to get hot, I’ll soon need an electric fan and in one month it won’t be enough. Half the year is unbearable, and it’s only going to get worse with time.
I feel you! I am in PA and it was 85 degrees the other day. Hello we are in the NORTH why am I sweating in April?! There used to be surprise snowstorms in April around these parts.
Yes same in France… we have the saying “en Avril ne te découvre pas d’un fil” (in April don’t remove any clothing) because it’s supposed to still randomly get very cold very quickly 😭
I fear that in 10 years we’ll all be climate refugees in Iceland or Canada
SAME
The obsession Americans have with acronyms. Some of them can have wildly different meanings depending on the context (MTG, CP), and sometimes even in the same context can mean different things and you need further context, like video game titles (DS, GoW, AC, SC).
It’s getting near impossible to understand what’s going on when reading their news. “DOJ pushing DOGE to ban EPA, GOP says…” The who, what, where?
Family
Family can be SUCH a challenge. You need to limit your exposure to the bad elements and increase exposure to the good ones (who likely suffer like you with those bad ones).
It’s okay to ghost your family a lot, my dude, if it keeps ya sane. They may love you in some weird broken way, but they aren’t you; take care of you.
