Anything really grinding your gears that you need to get off your chest? Lets talk about it.
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.
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.
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
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.
We are getting old
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The banality of daily life as we slip into authoritarianism. None of this matters.
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
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.
My fucking Brain. I have severe ADHD, and difficulty understanding concepts that are even more than a little complex. I forget stuff so easily. I fucking hate it so much, it is massively fucking frustrating.
I have passion, time and a want to be better. But changing myself is like walking barefoot through a narrow corridor, shoulder wide and full of glass shards on both the walls and the ground. All the while I keep forgetting where the exit is, even as it is right infront of me. Things that should take normal people a day to do, takes me more than a month. I hate it, I hate that it takes me so much time. And only fear drives me to do things, WHY? Why can’t it be something that I want to do instead of fucking fear. I fucking hate that. It’s like my brain has some bottleneck that just can’t be gotten rid of.
If I weren’t lucky with my circumstances, I would have killed myself.
The constant barrage of unfortunate events.
Went through a breakup while unemployed and was facing homelessness since my cost of living practically doubled instantly. The cats were hers and I miss them every day.
Got a new job and my car broke down and died on the first day of work.
Trying to move to somewhere affordable but I definitely need a car for where I’m looking to go. Found a car but it’s 5-6 months wait time for the factory order, so I continue to pay insane rent by myself in the meantime, and look for a used car to maintain my good standing with the insurance company.
Got a brand new bed a few weeks ago. Yesterday noticed ants climbing all over the wall right next to it. Luckily they weren’t in the bed but I had to move it to an inconvenient spot for peace of mind, and worry about more ants coming back. There’s no food or anything even close to the bedroom.
Every time someone moves out of this apartment building the new people who move in have multiple dogs. There are more dogs than people living here. They’re constantly barking and howling and setting each other off and nobody does anything about it. I can’t escape the noise anywhere in my unit.
I just want to get out and start the rest of my life in a new place already.
You described exactly why I am so thankful to never have experienced apartment life and pray I never will. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve definitely been in worse places than a shitty apartment, like homeless or living with my mom, but at least I still get to say I never had to share a space with strangers that can hear me getting it on. Now I live in a single-wide trailer, my rent is only $450 a month ( I make $25/h working from home, so rent to income is insanely low) and I have 3 bedrooms, fenced-in front and back yards, a dedicated laundry room, and I can’t even see my closest neighbor’s house.
Funny how one persons nightmare could be another persons dream. People use “ending up” in a trailer as a warning, and I literally could not imagine a better place to live.
I presume you are in the US. Out of curiosity - how does bathroom work with trailer life? Do you have a shower and toilet in the trailer or do you go somewhere else for that? I’m a complete stranger to trailer life, I suppose it’s just like camping but perhaps over there you have some differences when it’s a permanent full time lifestyle. I don’t know
LOL A single wide trailer has a full bathroom with a full shower and a working toilet. I am not in a CAMPER a trailer is something completely different. I have full indoor plumbing and a full sit in kitchen, laundry room all that jazz.
single-wide trailer
Such mobile homes are fully plumbed. They’re functionally equivalent to an apartment/flat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_home#Construction_and_sizes
Single-wides are 18 feet (5.5 m) or less in width and 90 feet (27 m) or less in length and can be towed to their site as a single unit.
That was informative, thank you
This is not my house but close to what it looks like, much bigger than what you are picturing. Mine has an extension built onto it and I have 3 bedrooms.
That looks amazing, why do you say something like that would be average Joe’s nightmare? LOL TIL trailer isn’t at all like a campervan and I’m really confused now haha
Because thats how people in the USA act, like ending up in a trailer park is the worst thing that could happen to them. They would rather pay $2,000 for a 1 bedroom apartment than $450 for a 3 bedroom trailer simply because they don’t want to be thought of as “trailer trash”. Its very stupid and irresponsible, but any time I bring it up to anyone irl, that I am not paying a million dollars for rent the way they are, which is why I can work part time and still afford more than them, they have 45,000 excuses and reasons why that couldn’t possibly be true, even when I actively show them my rent receipts and paychecks.
My cat of twelve years died on my birthday. He had been sick with Triaditis for about 6 weeks and I had to feed him through a tube 3 times a day. Each time would take about an hour and a half.
He was getting better, too. Putting on weight, and ate his own meals for 5 days. But the E-tube got infected and so we took it out 2 days early.
He got home. He vomited. He stopped eating for two days. He started vomiting and acted in pain and so I took him in again. They discovered fluid in his abdomen. He was too skinny from his digestion issues for a further hospitalization and he was in pain.
He slept each night in my armpit with his head on my shoulder.
I worked from home before the pandemic, and so I was with him almost all of the time for his life. I loved his tiny 6 lb ass.
He was a bathroom communist. It could be 3 a.m. and I could check that he was asleep, and when I looked up from sitting on the toilet, the door would be slightly ajar and he’d be in front of me watching the door.
I miss you, little dude.
I am so sorry to hear that! That is horrible. Take time to heal
I am so sorry! Last year I lost my cat and not only was he my first cat that I had for 14 years, but also the first pet I’ve ever lost. He died on 9/11 (because he’s a drama queen) and I truly wasn’t ready for it. I still miss him every day and I still cry when I think/talk about him.
My Mickey Mouse was the most perfect cat in the world; he never once hissed at me or scratched me, not even during the rare times he needed a bath. He loved my dogs and was friends with everyone he met. He never pottied or sprayed, he never scratched my furniture. He was purfict in every single way. I know in my soul that I will never find another one like him.
I’m very sorry for your loss. Its really not fair that we only get them for such a short amount of time.
