    Amazon delivered my package to the wrong unit 2 times in a row so far. My cats food was delivered via FedEx and was also delivered to the wrong unit (different one from amazon) and the unit number is not visible in the photo so I have no idea where it was delivered to

    edit: I called the leasing office and emailed them a photo, and they said there’s nothing they can do because they can’t identify anything in the photo -.- (you can literally see what type of unit it is based on the layout, also there’s no door mat. They can narrow it down if they wanted)

    Super fucking sick not being able to see a therapist when you need it most (I’m ok) because insurance is tied to work. Really great country we’ve got here.

    If you smoke cigarettes inside in a home with non-smokers who have asked you to go outside you’re an asshole

    I know people are well-meaning but it drives me nuts when my family knows I’m looking for a job and my job search becomes the only topic of conversation. I’ll tell you when I get an offer, otherwise I do not want to talk about it. It does the opposite of help.

    Yeah we do. He’s just the most inconsiderate roommate. Eats people’s food, smokes (weed and cigarettes) inside despite being asked not to, leaves dishes and food out, takes multiple hour long showers a day. If you ask him to not do any of this stuff he tends to get pissed and start slamming doors. He’s definitely dealt with depression and substance issues in the past but also refuses to get help for them. We’re totally fine when we aren’t living in the same household. He moved back in my mom the same weekend I did after my breakup. Using as extra motivation to get back on my feet as soon as possible but it’s not great in the meantime.

    Thank you! It’s tough because despite all of what I complained about he can also be the most generous person. We just don’t share a living space well together, doesn’t help when we’re both going through shit.

    Sucks, but I think I’m gonna have to discontinue my MMA gym membership. Love going there, really got into the community and became a regular. Would like to take a fight. I look forward to going to my Muay Thai classes everyday. It’s kinda the only thing I enjoy lately. I really care about my fitness and I love getting better at something I enjoy. i Sucks that I can’t afford it at the moment. Sucks that I can’t afford anything really. Sucks that all I can do is work and sit at home

    The intrusive whisper fascinates me

    Not sure which one it is, but one of my cats keeps sneakily peeing on the kitchen counter. They seem to do it during the middle of the night or during the day while everyone is out at work so I can’t figure out who does it.

    It happened again today. I had an uneaten 1lb box of See’s candies up there that were completed peed on so I had to throw the entire thing away. Absolute fucking waste of money

    So not trying to alarm you, but if you've had these cats for a while and it's new behavior, cats are prone to urinary tract issues. You may need to take them to the vet :-/

    Hoping that's not it and they're just being a little asshole! I get it, I love my cat to death but she really knows how to piss me off sometimes

    A bunch of flies appeared out of no where!! I swatted 7 so far. No idea if they came from the sink drain that I cleaned yesterday or the vents

    I feel like I don't actually know any MAGA people but I have a lot of acquaintances and work friends that fall into this really frustrating ignorant category. I'm from a conservative area and they don't really question anything that they hear from the loud maga people. They don't seem to believe it that fervently themselves, but then don't actually question or research anything to form their own opinions. So they just absorb these ignorant opinions without really feeling passionately about them or looking into them at all.

    Like I went with a old work friend to a restaurant in my hometown that is known for being delicious, but also kind of a random liberal hipster place in the midst of a conservative cowboy type town. She remarked how good the food is and how she should go more often but just never went because they are anti-military and anti-police. I asked how they are and she didn't really have an answer. She sort of ended up saying it's because they don't offer a police or military discount but it was clear that she didn't really know and had just heard that reputation from somewhere else and never questioned it. Which at least she didn't double down or anything.

    But it's frustrating because it's like they're so easily influenced. I feel like I could easily talk to someone like that and convince them why all of my beliefs are correct. But then somebody else on the other side of the spectrum could do the same. They are just sort of identityless and I don't know if they vote or not but I feel like that's just the majority of people that I seem to encounter in my hometown. They are not the maga Trump stereotype but they're just sort of complacent and ignorant and live in a privileged bubble where they don't really care about what's going on outside of their little sphere

    And I really don't know how to make that type of person care more about the world around them. And they're people I would describe as nice, so it's not like they're awful people. They are some of the most loyal and sweet people that I know in a sense, but it's just really frustrating I can't even describe
     
  19. Caring about things outside of your bubble takes a lot -- a lot, a lot, a lot -- a lot of energy, especially when everything around you is designed to make you feel like change in any meaningful quantity is an impossible feat. I definitely understand the frustration, but also empathize with those people. The news is literally so punishing that it's hard to fault someone for taking the easy way out and focusing on themselves/their family/their immediate surroundings. Even if it's not how it should be.

    Everything is so expensive. I just wanna plan a lil trip for my birthday. Nothing international. Just a weekend. But it's so expensive. And my bf who I love and want to come with me doesn't have a job that gives him disposable income or really any time off so every time I plan a trip I have to pay for everything and he feels bad and I feel bad but it would be so much cheaper if I could split it 50/50. But it's not his fault this economy sucks and his employment options suck. And then I think about the stereotype of Americans not being cultured and traveling abroad and I'm like lol yeah we can't even afford to travel within this country. Of course we're not traveling abroad. Even on Spirit the flight would be a ton and that's for the bare minimum of no bags and no choosing seats and feeling trapped in a shoebox for hours with a 5 hour layover

    I just hate everything. How are we ever supposed to feel like humans who can relax and afford to do things?
