I had hoped this wouldn't happen again, but my mother is experiencing some kind of episode that's similar to one she had some months ago that required hospitalization.

My mother is 64 years old. She is 5'5" and weighs probably around 200lbs. So doesn't smoke at all and drinks very little alcohol, and she doesn't recreationally use any other drugs. She has diabetes, though I'm not sure which type. She takes a good mix of prescribed meds, though I don't know all of her prescriptions.

In October of last year, she and my father were coming back from a trip out west where they visited some of my relatives in California. As they were in the airport getting ready to fly home, my father noticed my

I was with Verizon for years before I could no longer justify paying so much for their service. Switched to Visible thinking I'd save myself a few hundred dollars a year, but that didn't end up working out.

I initiated a number transfer on 10/09/2025 and it seemed to work flawlessly, but I experienced a few service interruptions. Usually redownloading my e-SIM would fix the issue, but being able to sign into the Visible app on my phone was a Herculean task, often involving multiple restarts, redownloading the app, etc.

Despite the number transfer, Verizon still seemed to think my service was connected, so they were still billing me despite not having an active line with them. I "officia

Curious to see if anyone else has had this problem and might have a potential fix

I created a Visible account a few weeks ago with the intent to switch to them from Verizon. The day I made the account, when I went to log in on the app, an error message popped up saying something to the effect of my "request could not be completed. Please try again later." I didn't think much of it and tried to log in about a week ago, and the same error message came up.

A few days ago, I tried this again and the same message came up. Out of curiosity, I tried using my same email address and password to log into the Visible website, thinking maybe I'd somehow entered the wrong information. I was able

Looking to clear out what remains of my Space Marine collection. I don't need to sell this as a lot, but I would prefer to move about $100 worth of models at a time. Prices listed do not include shipping; expect about $10 extra for shipping depending on how many models I need to send.

Prices are negotiable! Think of everything listed as the given price or best offer.

With that in mind, here is a list of what's for sale:

To set the scene…

My mother and I are somewhat avid viewers of the game show Jeopardy!. For some time now, the reigning Jeopardy champion has been Amy Schneider, who happens to be a trans woman.

Since Amy has first appeared on the show, my mother has taken to making derogatory comments regarding her (at least once every episode, if not more). The comments have struck at basically every facet of Amy’s physical appearance: her clothing, her jewelry, her hairstyle, her makeup, etc.

I have attempted to gently remind my mother that even though Amy isn’t there with us when we’re watching the show, making negative comments about her is very rude. I mentioned that prior to Amy’s appearances on

While out shopping for food for the holidays, my mother went to a local supermarket and was only able to find bacon there at a price of $10/lb or higher. She ultimately ended up buying bacon for closer to $4/lb at a smaller, local butcher - but when she mentioned the price, my father wondered why the price was so high.

I offered that inflation was catching up to prices in grocery stores. He immediately countered that by offering the poorest take that I've heard from him in years regarding the economy:

"Everyone is asking for $15 an hour, which means the price of everything is trickling down to the consumer because companies can't afford these wages."

So... the "Fight for $15" is sti

I am currently unemployed (and have been for a few months now), and my aunt has decided that I'm being "too picky" regarding potential job offers.

Specifically, she said "You have to start at the bottom and work your way up to a higher wage."

I am not asking for the world. I'm not a fucking kid anymore. EDIT: I have a 4-year degree. I have 8 years of job experience, and I'm not "starting at the bottom" anywhere.

When I started to explain that even $15 an hour is not a liveable wage for an adult looking to live on their own, she said I was "being overly emotional," and she launched into a very boomer-y rant about how everyone wants more money, but very few people are worth $20 an hour.

I

I haven't posted here in a while. Not sure if anyone knows (or cares, really), but I was posting in the sub to document my experience working at a prior job. Naturally, given my attitude towards my previous job, I was terminated. I wasn't surprised or really even upset about being fired because I expected it to happen. Anyways...

Being unemployed was fantastic. I got to spend my time how I wanted. I had enough money saved up that I could afford to just exist for a bit and not have to worry about hustling off to find more work. But it wasn't going to last forever.

Mercifully, the job hunt was quick. I've found work as a delivery driver. The pay is quite good. In fact, it's the best pa

The top players at my local store are quickly all homogenizing towards playing mono-white Hammer-Time, which is not going so well for me because it is a horrific matchup.

I've been alternating between playing Esper and Jeskai Control. I find the usual artifact hate of Stony Silence and artifact removal to not be good enough to round the corner and win against this deck.

Here are my current lists:

Since about October of last year, my company implemented a much more robust activity-tracking software to the computers of everyone below supervisor pay-grade (you know, the generic office folks, the plebeians, such as myself). This software tracks which websites and applications you use at any given time, and the main function explicitly was to keep track of idle time. The software would count up every second you weren't typing or moving your mouse and report it to your supervisor by rating you from 1 to 10 on how active you were (10 being the highest).

I always thought the idea of tracking idle time was ridiculous as the company was already tracking how many processes you completed in a g
