Dinosaurs! posted:Got an unfixable flat and I can’t just buy two tires because my car is AWD. Tread is about half gone, so I either buy a single new tire and have half its tread shaved or replace everything a couple years earlier than I figured. Check out a wrecking yard and see if there are any tires the same size and similar tread/wear. There should be dozens that will work that you can choose from. $50 would probably be on the high side as well if you ask nicely.

I really had a hard time starting it because of personal/societal stigma, whatever, but it was worth it for me. if you don't like it you can always stop.

Also re. therapy remember that therapists are just people and you're gonna get along with some and not others. If you get one you don't get on with, get a different one.

Welp, I had my first date in ages and she decided that scoring some weed was more interesting. Then I went home, picked up my toddler and he threw such a big tantrum he threw up all the strawberries he just ate. I still can't get the red out of the carpet.

People who can’t do anything without bringing weed into it are insufferable.

loving restrain your dogs if your dog is aggressive and an rear end in a top hat! I was delivering a pizza on Friday night near 11PM at the end of this cul-de-sac in a paved trailer park. Knowing from having delivered there before, the driveway is part concrete, part wooden boards, part mud pits, so I stay in the road. The driveway is at like 12:30 on a clock, as soon as I hit 1:00 this loving pit bull darts at my car barking like hell before I can even put it in park, circling, jumping on the windows, not in a "o hi so happy ur here" way but in a whole-bodied "you're here and I don't want you to be" way, loving biting my tires and bumpers. I call the dude and he comes out with no shirt on and we handle the whole transaction through my driver's window. He just walks back to his house while his lovely dog continues to try to fight my car. I spend a few minutes trying to inch forward, literally three or four inches at a time when this lovely dog is near the back half of my car, eventually getting turned around to face the right way, the dog is behind me and I hit the gas, and ten or fifteen yards later the back driver's side wheel goes BUMP. lovely dog chased my car and tried to bite it and got loving hit. This trailer park is really poorly lit, and now I've got an aggressive and angry dog that's now hurt and probably scared, just fuel to the fire, and I don't know this guy, maybe he's got a short temper and some guns, so I get the gently caress out of there. It took until 3AM for the proper authorities to visit me after I made a call to their dispatch explaining what happened, and all they had to tell me was what I already knew, the owner and dog violated a bunch of laws and ordinances, and it was in a public roadway, so he can try to sue me but it wouldn't go anywhere. I loving love pittys, my sister has two and they're awesome dogs, unless they're given a lovely situation or deliberately trained to be a lovely dog. I think this was the right thread to vent in. gently caress you if you have dogs and don't keep them in a good environment, it's your loving fault, trailer park guy with lovely dog.

I would consider some of my coworkers friends, we're all close in age and sometimes get together outside of work. However, my one coworker has been butthurt for the last year about the fact that I got a promotion to full-time over her. I had been there for five years and she had been there for about six months at that point. After the decision was announced, she decided to tell me a number of times that she had been crying in the shower at home over not getting the position and that she needed the money so she and her husband could buy a house. Her husband's family bought them a house anyway like two months later and she's covered on her husband's insurance so it's not entirely a dire "I need benefits now" kind of deal. Aside from the lovely little comments over the past year along the lines of "I wouldn't have to ask you to fix this if you had done your job correctly in the first place" things hadn't been too bad, but at the staff Christmas party she acted like an rear end in a top hat and never apologized even after I told her it pissed me off because she "thought we were doing a bit." I tried to make it up to her, even though I absolutely should not have had to do so, by pushing her to take on a project leader position, even though I really wanted it because it's a pretty big deal new thing. I pointed out to her that working on said project would look really good when the next promotion opportunity rolled around. She struts around like she's the hottest poo poo ever while also complaining about how much she doesn't like being a leader and how much extra work she has to do blah blah blah. So now another full-time position has opened up. From talking to my supervisor, I kind of knew that out of the six part-timers who would be interested, only two were considered actually in the running, butthurt coworker being one of them. My supervisor, given this not-great candidate pool, decided to open up the position to include candidates from outside of our department for the first time and now everyone is panicking. You would think everyone would start being on their best behavior or whatever. And yet. I was chatting to some other coworkers and made a joke about being terrible at math even though I do statistics and butthurt coworker asks loudly "and this is what got promoted over me?" Cue awkward pause in conversation. My supervisor's desk is right behind mine, so I'm pretty sure they heard it, too. I'm fed up with the attitude and mentioned it to my supervisor who asked if I wanted them to intervene. I said no, hopefully if I ignore it she'll stop, but my supervisor was all "that rarely works." I feel like it was kind of a crappy move for me to say anything at all because it might hurt her chances at this position. But I don't know, should I feel bad? Or did she bring this on herself? Sorry for the wall of text. Office politics are always stupid.

The only way people learn from their lovely behavior is by being called out on it. It'd be different if it was a 1 time thing and you tattled to your boss on someone having a bad day, but this is clearly a pattern of behavior that, aside from being annoying, indicates that this person doesn't yet have the skills or maturity to be a in a position of overseeing other people. If she were to be put in that position, she'd likely fail to deliver and work really hard to blame everyone else for her shortcomings. I see it all the time in my field where people are given project management roles without any of the skills or training required to fulfill those duties, and they freak the gently caress out and try and figure out who else's fault it can be so they don't get blamed. The best thing that could happen to her is that someone sits down and has an honest conversation about why she isn't getting the position, and lay out a solid plan for her of how she can work towards the goal of getting to the position that she wants when it becomes available. If you have an HR department, your supervisor should be meeting with the butthurt employee to ask if they want to sit down and come up with an action plan. I know that all sounds super corporate and dumb, but it's how companies retain and grow employees if they're worth it, and if not, work them out of the organization.

Ignore and avoid as much as possible. she's holding her grudge and there's nothing you can do to make it better, so gently caress it. you don't owe her anything at this point. I get why you felt bad at first, but it's been a year?? you can definitely have a "gently caress her" attitude now.

I’m getting laid off soon but I have no idea when, and the people who are laying me off have no idea when. I’m good with any length of time, it’s either money or time off, but I just want to know when I’m done so I’m not getting jerked around. It’s kind of the downside to being one of the last people standing on a construction project but it still sucks.

Stop is a less humiliating order than yield imo. Like if a cop orders you to stop there's a chance you may walk off with a fine but if they order you to yield, well, they will molest and maybe murder you. What I'm saying is

A town on my way to work replaced the stop lights with traffic circles and it’s a clusterfuck in the best circumstances, especially since there’s a school on that stretch so from 7-8am it’s a disaster. Today wasn’t the best circumstances, since it’s on a slight hill and today that hill was pointed directly at the sun. Have you ever seen what happens with two traffic circles and heavy traffic, one direction of which is almost completely blind? It was a disaster. I managed to both be rear ended and rear end somebody. Luckily, both times were slow enough that there was no damage to speak of, because we were too blind to go more than like 3 MPH.

So I just confirmed with a specialist that I am getting arthritis in my hands. On one hand, not surprising. Doctors were telling me at age ten that I'd likely get arthritis in my twenties as a side effect of my cerebral palsy, but how do I put it: when you're ten a decade seems like a long ways away. It's one thing to hear some dude in a white coat tell you something, it's quite another to wake up one day at the age of 26 and notice that your hands hurt a fair bit out of the blue, and that you can't hold on to things as tightly as you used to. This pretty much all but confirms that I'm going to have to go on disability income. Not now, but soon. Much much sooner than I'd like. Getting old sucks. Getting old when you're disabled sucks worse. All my worst nightmares are slowly coming true and I'm powerless to stop them.

I hate that no one knows how to commute in this city. Everyone walks way too slow or blocks the left side of the escalator or they just pause at bizarre times. Then you've got assholes who try to charge onto vehicles the moment the doors open rather than letting people off. Or idiots who don't know how to line up properly so there's a ton of space left in front and jerks can sidecut everyone else. Bitch, I'd like to go home rather than spend one more second rubbing elbows with the shuffling masses. Every day I consider biting the bullet and signing up for a parking spot but public transportation is covered by work whereas I'd have to pay for parking. And all the drivers are guilty of the same poo poo I mentioned above.
