You know in games or movies when you find a odd little secret that someone in production left unnoticed for the few in the audience that would look for it or happen to stumble upon it? This is the place to share those things you find in real life. This isn’t the area for posting digital Easter eggs, as in screenshots or photographs of screens (games, computer software, TV series, DVD menus); as those are regular Easter eggs and not IRL Easter eggs. Try /EasterEggs for such things.

2023.06.07 23:19 Nooothanks75 I’m losing it

Warning bad mental health
I have a fucking ostomy and many unknown health issues and diagnosed disorders and can barely walk without extreme pain or sweating a fucking bucket. I don’t binge eat and I’m obese and have a lot of issues. I work out 3 times a week and barely move. People just see the outside of me and blame so much on me being fat. I couldn’t even get a primary care for 6 months until a week from now or so. I’m literally fucking dying. I don’t even want to post on here because it feels weak I’m sorry to people here I’m not judging you I’ve just been beaten down. I have a giant cyst on my ovary and multiple hernias on my ostomy. I have a horrible support system and people want me to die it feels like and man I wouldn’t lie if it wasn’t for my therapist twice a week believing in me I would be dead.
If I have to be told one more time I don’t “try” I’m going to lose it
I try to just brush my teeth

2023.06.07 23:18 Radiant_Signature940 [real] (06/07/23) Double Dip

Well. I’m back. And I got these bitches pierced. It didn’t hurt as bad this time. The first time I got my nipples pierced I was in shock for hours afterwards. But this fella was professional and he obviously knew what he was doing. He even offered me rings- which was not an option the first time I was pierced. Naturally I jumped on that opportunity. Circles are easily my favorite shape and I have always wanted rings instead of posts.
I walked to the appointment so I was drenched in sweat when I got there. Fella didn’t bat an eye, which I really appreciated. I sweat way too much for a lady. (Reason 876 why I’m “unmarriagable”….. this is my new favorite joke. My friends might be a little sick of it but I derive a sick pleasure out of reminding myself of all the reasons why no one will ever love me. Call it “keeping myself in check”, if you will). We went through formalities and then it was time to do the thing. I had to undress in front of him which panicked me to no end. But he was courteous and did not watch.
The rest of the procedure went well; I appreciated his professionalism while I sweat all over his equipment. The end result looks lovely and while I am largely unhappy with my body, I do love these nipple rings.
I think one thing I want to process is how frustrating my body is to me. At one point, he had me look in the mirror to assess my satisfaction with the jewelry and piercing. I almost cried (I know. I’ve been crying a lot lately). I really wanted to decline because seeing myself is not really something I want to do right now. Seeing myself undressed from the waist up is something I REALLY don’t want to do.
Surely enough, I looked like a pale/pink succulent pig. I briefly glanced at the piercings before getting sick at the image of my used up body. I barely heard any of his aftercare instructions as I thought about getting dressed and hiding all of my shame. When I finally did get dressed, he handed me a Reese’s cup and told me to eat it because I was in shock and adrenaline lowers blood sugar. I took the Reese’s but held it tightly in my fist. I paid for the piercings and waddled out of the building, relieved that no one has to see me naked again.
And really, that’s where the “unmarriagable” jokes are coming from. When I look at myself I don’t see anything but an old, used up hog. Recently, with my ex deciding that I’m bat shit crazy…. I….. I don’t even know how to factor that into my future. I can’t even say that I have beautiful insides because my ex has decided that I belong in the looney bin. It’s been really hard “keeping two feet on the floor” after seeing what he really thinks about me. I don’t think I’m crazy. I think I cussed him out because he fucked with my head and trashed my heart. I think that I reacted strongly to our breakups after pouring my heart and soul into a relationship that meant the world to me. Anyway, I digress. Bad mind. Bad body. Bitter. Drunk. Vindictive. Two cunts. Ice Queen. Bitch. Crazy. Fat pig. Used up. That’s me and all my fine qualities.
As I walked home I thought about how much I want to not exist anymore. I want to be small. Invisible. I am not eating as punishment for being unlovable. That will teach me. Coincidentally, I was honked at a few times and one dude swerved the car staring at me. Too bad he doesn’t know I’m a catfish. Gross. You don’t want this, sir. I promise.

2023.06.07 23:18 misomiso82 Do we know what Vincent Gilligan is doing next?

With the prequel done and Jesse's story done in the sequel film, has Vincent indicated that the breaking bad universe is done, or does he have another project in mind?
It seems a waste to leave the Breaking Bad universe, but on the other hand where would the story go from here, as a lot of the big players are all dead...
Many thanks for any info

2023.06.07 23:18 lowbass4u Plant just doesn't want to grow.

As anyone had an issue with transplant tomatoes that just don't seem to grow? I have had some troubles with squirrels nibbling on my plants. But that hasn't stopped some of the others from branching out and growing. But this one plant has not grown out or up in 2 weeks. It's not dieing the color looks good. It's just not doing anything.
I'm using Fox Farms liquid fertilizers(which I'm honestly not to impressed with). 2 TBS Big Bloom and now 1TBS grow big in a gallon of water once per week. I'm also in 20 gallon containers with a potting mix.
I decided to go lighter on my fertilizers this year. Last year I had huge beautiful plants that really didn't produce a whole lot. So this year it's just the Fox Farms once a week and fish emulsion once every 3 weeks. And the fertilizer that's already in the potting mix. TIA

2023.06.07 23:18 InevitablePain21 [Small rant] bloating is the bane of my existence

I know this is a very me-specific problem to have and probably won’t be super relatable to most in this sub, but I just needed to vent about it for a moment.
I’m chronically ill, have been for 8 years and will be for the rest of my life. A lot of my chronic illnesses revolve around my abdominal organs, and as such one of the main symptoms I get is bloating. I’ve always known the bloating is bad, I mean I buy clothes in 3 different sizes to account for how bloated my stomach can get, but I didn’t realize how much it made my weight fluctuate until I started taking my weight loss more seriously.
I never weighed myself super regularly but have been trying to get into a habit of doing so. This last week my weight kept going up and while feeling discouraged, was trying to keep in mind that I had been a bit bloated and it was likely water weight, etc.
Well this morning, for the first time in probably 2 weeks or so, I woke up not being bloated at all and was so excited to see where my weight is actually at. Y’all, I weighed 8.6 lbs less this morning than I did 3 days ago. 8 pounds!!! On one hand I’m absolutely thrilled that I’m losing weight and being successful, but on the other I’m at an absolute loss of how I’m supposed to accurately track my progress if my weight can change so drastically within just a few days.
I have a lot to lose so I know eventually it won’t matter, I’ll see the downwards trend over time, but when I’ve only lost 10 pounds total that 8 lbs of bloating kind of makes a big difference!

2023.06.07 23:18 SwordofMine 26 [TF4A] Schenectedy, NY Quirky neurodivergent Transgirl looking for anything in or near me.

Hello there stranger, I am Valerie, Val to my friends and lovers, and I am here to well… sell you on me as a potential friend/partne(video or board) gaming buddy/roommate/person you’d like to fuck. This is fundamentally, kind of an “open letter” ad, its going to be lengthy; get a drink and a snack. :)
I am, to be frank, very trans, and more than probably neurodivergent (ADHD). I am very happy to meet people responding to this ad; so please, say hi if the following you’re about to read interests you.
I recently moved out here to the Capital Area (I am over in Schenectady, hello!) and I am really looking for local people (I.e within an hour; or otherwise reachable by CDTA bus service in some capacity); the closer to Schenectady, the better. I grew up over in Texas, and lemme tell you, I am loving the weather here compared to Hell’s busted freezer (that was a quip).
Whoever you are; I want you to know a bunch about me so that you can get a sense of who I am; what I ask from you is a few things, if you’re looking for just general friends or gaming buddies, I don’t mind whoever you are, say hi, the door is open; if you’re looking to date/or something like sex; that’s gonna be subject to some requirements.
First off; no matter who replies; I expect you to specify what ad you are replying to (from which subreddit and for what you’re looking for), just so I know you bothered to at least read my expectations for responders. Secondly, if you’re looking to date seriously, I expect you be 24 or over and younger than 35. If you’re looking for something casual, I expect you be at least 21 years old; just a maturity thing.
Okay! So let’s begin; I am Val, I love to cook ( I am okay at it but I LOVE IT) and I like making handmade things like décor and sewn things (clothes, pillowcases, plushies etc). I am a high level strategy video gamer (500-1000+ hours in tons of different strategy games each, probably a combined 10k+ hours in all my strategy games I’ve ever played), and I just generally enjoy board gaming; doesn’t matter what, I have fun. _^
I really love “earth tones” and monochromes (browns, greens, whites, blacks); I feel like they look best on me; and personally I love greens and pastel pink in all occasions. If you asked me “Oh Val, how’d you get your name” I am sad to say, I don’t have a very interesting story; I am literally just Val, I picked it out of a hat practically and I’ve been loving it ever since.
On the travel side I really want to head out and explore whole bunch of the country; or I guess, at least the bits that are still safe for trans people to head out and explore; I also want to visit a bunch of Europe someday, especially the Netherlands and specifically Amsterdam, it seems like an utterly beautiful and forward thinking city and my little urban planning nerd brain can’t help but love the idea of seeing it in person.
Personally I’ve watched a ton of anime; there’s not a single isekai released between 2000 – 2021 I have not watched at least a bit of; I am utterly obsessed with the genre and love it to utter death. I also generally like mecha anime; my favorite one of those was “Gundum: Iron Blood Orphans”.
Currently I am working just a humble retail job but I am headed out back to college this coming Fall to start on the pathway to becoming an Engineering Technician. I want to work with mechanical stuff personally since it seems the most interesting me on a personal level; plus, I feel like learning more about it could let me get into more complex craft projects at home, which really appeals to me.
Someday I want to work on a “starship bridge” gaming rig I.e a setup where you convert a whole room into a “working” bridge of a space ship complete with lights, mechanical prop bits; sliding doors, and custom fixtures to bring the whole cohesive experience together into something that makes you feel like you’re on the set of a science fiction movie.
I love the Fall; I am literally so happy to finally live in a place where leaves actually, you know, fall. Its such a radical concept from living in a place where essentially the trees are some shade of green all year round; with winter being barely cold enough down in the part of Texas I lived (South Texas) to be worth a damn to change any leaves to any color other than greenish-yellow. Is it weird to be this excited about dead plants? I think so, but I am rolling with it!
I think I’ve mentioned I like making food? Okay listen to me closely: I love making soups, stews, stir fries and curries as far as “real food” goes; but I am a big candy maker. Lollipops, taffies, hard candies, chocolates just about anything you want; I’ll bring in. I live to feed other people (and my) sweet tooth. Oh, baking is also fun: ever had real chocolate ganache filled/frosted cupcakes? I can make them for ya.
Real talk moment: I… I am afraid honestly that we’ll meet up and I won’t really “fit” compared to in text. Lemme tell you something: I am a scatter brained ditz who couldn’t focus to save her life; I’ll forget important things, let stuff slip past me, have a hard time paying attention; all that classic “ADHD” flavor. Its not me not caring; my brain literally just won’t let me be normal; and I am really sorry but that’s not a “fixable” thing, I will probably get on medications for it in the future; but its a fundamental part of “me” and my brain all the same, its part of the package with me.
Anywho! I am very pet positive; love cats, love dogs; lizards are cuties; I am “okay” with creepies and the crawlies, just keep them away from me; and I absolutely am mesmerized by fish; feathery friends are welcomed, I am personally a fan of pet chickens but I know most people keep something “traditional” like a parrot or a parakeet, and that’s totally fine. I love animals, there was a point in my life where I thought perhaps that I would even like to make it a career, but nowadays I’ve matured and realized I get too attached to do that as a job.
Oh! Come into this prepared with the knowledge that I love the holidays; no not “those” holidays. ALL OF THEM. I am big in particular into Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentine’s Day and Halloween but I get really into celebrations so you know, if you want that kind of energy in your life, well you know where to find it. I love to decorate; love to participate; love to just experience the joy of those special days of the year. And by the way, I count Birthdays; I will, if you ask, throw you a party even if its just the two of us.
So… dreams right? That’s a one we can get into: have you ever dreamt big dreams? I have two. I want to find a partner who I can be utterly spoiled by #1; and who I can spoil back with my loyalty, acts of service and just generally love for them. I want to start some of kind of business someday; even though I am getting into something technical, food is a life long obsession of mine; I am leaning towards some kind of hand made candy making company that does online orders to be honest; it seems like the most “unique” thing since customizing candies is a remarkably fun process’ that’s #2.
If you’re not okay with someone that gets off topic a lot; forgets things all the time; talks about; gets distracted and just generally isn’t “all there all the time”, you’re not gonna like me, period. I zone out often and a lot and you’re just kinda going to need to either be ready to deal with it, or anything we do isn’t going to work out; that’s the bag with me, sorry in advance for asking you to carry it; I promise I’ll make it worth your while though.
I am the kind of person that will do anything for those in their “sphere” if only I had the means; you earn my love, or trust, or care, or attention and I’ll do just about anything other than focus for more than a minute to repay it (that’s really hard). Just how I am.
In case you’re wondering: I am happiest with a partner that’s very emotionally open; who knows how to communicate well; and who truly enjoys the things I enjoy and I enjoy a lot of things so as long as there’s some decent behavioral overlap, we’ll get along just fine!
Okay, little lightning round to round this off: I wear glasses, I want to get into custom soda making, I love to garden, I write science fiction and fantasy stories, I have a dream car, I want to own an Rv to take regular vacations in, I want to name a dog “Sumo”, I want to get more into console gaming generally, I am ridiculously excited for Starfield, space exploration excites me to no end just in general.
So yeah, this is the Val experience; like, I am kinda all over the place in a ton of different ways, don’t come into this expecting “OMG you’re ADHD? So quirky” kinda tropes; I am very much kinda… missing a screw somewhere (but there’s nothing wrong with that, its just a part of who I am).
So yeah! Come on down and say hi; and remember to specify what you’re responding to and what you’re looking for with me, I am taking all responders.

Its such a radical concept from living in a place where essentially the trees are some shade of green all year round; with winter being barely cold enough down in the part of Texas I lived (South Texas) to be worth a damn to change any leaves to any color other than greenish-yellow. Is it weird to be this excited about dead plants? I think so, but I am rolling with it!
I think I’ve mentioned I like making food? Okay listen to me closely: I love making soups, stews, stir fries and curries as far as “real food” goes; but I am a big candy maker. Lollipops, taffies, hard candies, chocolates just about anything you want; I’ll bring in. I live to feed other people (and my) sweet tooth. Oh, baking is also fun: ever had real chocolate ganache filled/frosted cupcakes? I can make them for ya.
Real talk moment: I… I am afraid honestly that we’ll meet up and I won’t really “fit” compared to in text. Lemme tell you something: I am a scatter brained ditz who couldn’t focus to save her life; I’ll forget important things, let stuff slip past me, have a hard time paying attention; all that classic “ADHD” flavor. Its not me not caring; my brain literally just won’t let me be normal; and I am really sorry but that’s not a “fixable” thing, I will probably get on medications for it in the future; but its a fundamental part of “me” and my brain all the same, its part of the package with me.
Anywho! I am very pet positive; love cats, love dogs; lizards are cuties; I am “okay” with creepies and the crawlies, just keep them away from me; and I absolutely am mesmerized by fish; feathery friends are welcomed, I am personally a fan of pet chickens but I know most people keep something “traditional” like a parrot or a parakeet, and that’s totally fine. I love animals, there was a point in my life where I thought perhaps that I would even like to make it a career, but nowadays I’ve matured and realized I get too attached to do that as a job.
Oh! Come into this prepared with the knowledge that I love the holidays; no not “those” holidays. ALL OF THEM. I am big in particular into Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentine’s Day and Halloween but I get really into celebrations so you know, if you want that kind of energy in your life, well you know where to find it. I love to decorate; love to participate; love to just experience the joy of those special days of the year. And by the way, I count Birthdays; I will, if you ask, throw you a party even if its just the two of us.
So… dreams right? That’s a one we can get into: have you ever dreamt big dreams? I have two. I want to find a partner who I can be utterly spoiled by #1; and who I can spoil back with my loyalty, acts of service and just generally love for them. I want to start some of kind of business someday; even though I am getting into something technical, food is a life long obsession of mine; I am leaning towards some kind of hand made candy making company that does online orders to be honest; it seems like the most “unique” thing since customizing candies is a remarkably fun process’ that’s #2.
If you’re not okay with someone that gets off topic a lot; forgets things all the time; talks about; gets distracted and just generally isn’t “all there all the time”, you’re not gonna like me, period. I zone out often and a lot and you’re just kinda going to need to either be ready to deal with it, or anything we do isn’t going to work out; that’s the bag with me, sorry in advance for asking you to carry it; I promise I’ll make it worth your while though.
I am the kind of person that will do anything for those in their “sphere” if only I had the means; you earn my love, or trust, or care, or attention and I’ll do just about anything other than focus for more than a minute to repay it (that’s really hard). Just how I am.
In case you’re wondering: I am happiest with a partner that’s very emotionally open; who knows how to communicate well; and who truly enjoys the things I enjoy and I enjoy a lot of things so as long as there’s some decent behavioral overlap, we’ll get along just fine!
Okay, little lightning round to round this off: I wear glasses, I want to get into custom soda making, I love to garden, I write science fiction and fantasy stories, I have a dream car, I want to own an Rv to take regular vacations in, I want to name a dog “Sumo”, I want to get more into console gaming generally, I am ridiculously excited for Starfield, space exploration excites me to no end just in general.
So yeah, this is the Val experience; like, I am kinda all over the place in a ton of different ways, don’t come into this expecting “OMG you’re ADHD? So quirky” kinda tropes; I am very much kinda… missing a screw somewhere (but there’s nothing wrong with that, its just a part of who I am).
So yeah! Come on down and say hi; and remember to specify what you’re responding to and what you’re looking for with me, I am taking all responders.

2023.06.07 23:17 wolfgirl6969 Retirides 0.1mg

Hi all, I bought a tub of Retirides 0.1% whilst on holiday in Spain, as Tret is so difficult to get prescribed where I live. Has anyone else tried this particular brand? I had previously only ever used much weaker OTC retinols, and so was very cautious starting out with such a high strength and originally was using the cream once per week. It’s been about a month and I’ve already worked up to several times per week, as I’m experiencing ill effects whatsoever - no peeling, irritation, tightness, nothing at all. I’m almost wondering if the product has expired! Is Retirides known for being a weaker type of Tret and has anyone else experienced this?

What’s this plant/herb?
It smells herbish…almost like mint or marjoram maybe? There’s also spearmint nearby, so that could be interfering with my sniffer! Grows fairly tall…. It came in a planter I got from my MIL, and the others I received have herbs and flowers in them.

2023.06.07 23:17 chokolata Thoughts

Alright I don’t know where this text will go so you are welcome to go on this journey with me. I was raped as a child and due to circumstances I don’t know who did it. This has caused a lot of pain, confusion, anger, fear and hopelessness. After the rape I sexualised myself a lot on the internet for like a year and then basically forgot about it for a couple of years. This time period I don’t remember much from. Anyways around 4,5 years after the rape my life was flipped upside down and I got really depressed for other reasons and then decided to try to unpack and heal from this trauma by myself (I don’t recommend it but I didn’t really have any alternatives) I had also not told anyone about what happened for all those years.
This is what I was actually gonna rant about, so for five years after that I was angry. Mor or less constantly angry and desperate for understanding why that person did what they did. I felt like I needed to know who it was just so I could talk to them and ask. My anger turned into bargaining (I think that’s the word) and almost daily I would fantasise about getting to talk to them and understand. However, I recently realised it doesn’t fucking matter who or why. It really doesn’t. I still find myself slipping back into the old patterns of hoping they would just admit, whoever it was, but I know that I don’t have to know. No matter who it was or why it happened it happened I still have to deal with that trauma. And that is kind of where I’m at. I have no idea what to do now. I don’t have a therapist (I’m moving this fall and I plan on getting one then) and all that Google tells me is how to deal with recent trauma or how to, as an adult, deal with a child telling you they were raped. Or all these fucking posts about not feeling shame or guilt. Yeah, I get it, it’s important but I don’t feel shame of guilt and it feels like they are trying to make me feel that and I just hate that so much and it really makes me stop trying to get help because that’s just everything I see everywhere. I’m just lost. I’m not over exaggerating when I say my life literally revolves around finding out who and why. I spent hours upon hours trying to find out somehow and now I have no idea how to move forward. There is so much pain and hurt in me and I want to help myself and child-me get through it but I don’t know how and as a person who usually knows how to help myself I just feel like I need an adult so come hold me and help me but I don’t have that adult now. I am the adult. So I hold myself and try to help but I don’t think it’s helping.
I have no idea how to end this post but if you read everything, thank you. This is a lot to carry by myself so thank you for walking by my side.

2023.06.07 23:16 Trevenus I need riot to address this.

Dear Riot,
I am writing to bring to your attention the pressing issue of excessively high prices for Valorant in India. The current pricing structure disregards the vast difference in currency value and average income between India and other regions such as NA and EU.
An average citizen of India cannot purchase VP and have a good experience with Valorant. I am sure it is important to you.
Currently, Valorant points cost the same as they would in NA or EU. These countries, unlike India, have an astronomically higher average income.
The average income in the US is ₹25,72,617 INR (or 31,133 USD)
The average income in India The average salary in India is below ₹50,000 INR (or 650USD)
That is a 51:1 ratio.
For VP to cost the same in both of these countries is unfair and honestly affects me a lot.
The skins in this game are only accessible to the richest in our country,
I personally come from an upper-middle-class economic background and getting Valorant skins was a big no-no from the get-go. I have made some purchases which I considered a 'treat' to myself.
I have spent about 4800INR on the game (which should cost me 94INR based on the average income ratio) These got me two premium skins and two battle passes.
Spending 4800INR in India would be equivalent to a US citizen paying 2,904USD
Does spending 2904 USD for two premium skins (Oni phantom and reaver vandal) and two battle passes seem fair to you?
The economic impact to the consumer in India trying to just have a better Valorant experience is very high and is a problem that isn’t addressed by anyone yet.
Even comparing both currencies' per capita GDP we can see
US with 70,248.63 USD GDP per capita (2021)
India with 2,256.59 USD GDP per capita (2021)
Again 31:1 ratio.
I implore you to take immediate action to rectify this issue by adjusting the pricing of Valorant Points in India to reflect the significant disparity in average incomes and currency values. It is essential to create a fair and inclusive gaming environment for all players, regardless of their economic background or geographical location.
PS.
Other software companies do address this issue to a degree.
For example,
Netflix - a premium Netflix subscription costs 20 USD in the US and 7 USD (649₹) in India.
Amazon - amazon prime subscription costs $14.99 per month in the US and $3.63 (₹299) per month in India
This is a real issue that is not being addressed. Failure to address this matter promptly will only continue to exacerbate the economic imbalance and hinder the overall growth and popularity of Valorant in India.
I kindly request your urgent attention to this matter and look forward to a positive response.

2023.06.07 23:16 Abandoned_Entity Advice?

So, I made a post a little while ago about having one of my males becoming a hormonal terror. It kind of died down for a little while but now it's becoming something I'm becoming quiet upset watching. I know birds squabble and that's fine, but he's now going after three birds. This is an all male aviary. He seems to have his mind set on courting another one of my least dominant males who is outright not interested and makes efforts to get away. And then he seems to redirect his frustration onto another male gouldian who is more often than not, an indifferent little rock who does nothing unless he's being pecked at. He's also been going after my male shaft-tail who, as far as I can tell, isn't doing anything to provoke this. I just bought a new cage that has a divider (The amazon ones that are like 63 inches long, about 30-something tall, it's BIG). What should I do at this point? I feed pellets. I don't have places that resemble nests and actually removed my fake foliage because he was trying to set up stake up in those and it was making things worse. The cage is quite literally as bare as I can get it. I try to keep a rule of at least having as many perches as there are birds so I have six birds and eight perches so everyone has a chance to sit independently. It's probably unconventional but the only thing I can do to stop him from chasing is using a spray bottle because it doesn't scare them like it would if I physically try to interrupt it by setting up a barrier or idk what. I'm getting quite distressed myself seeing this behavior and watching my other birds be hassled. I know it's spring but this seems like overkill seeing as no other birds are displaying this level of tenacity. My other two male gouldians have for the most part paired themselves up and are very good about minding one another in terms of knowing when the other is asking for space. My least dominant male is a legitamate sweetheart and I hate seeing him being chased. I'm more upset that the bird doing it happens to be the bird that got me into gouldians so there's some sentiment there. If he wasn't, I may have already looked into rehousing and selecting a bird that's more docile. Not to mention, he's been trained to some extent as I handle my gouldians regularly when they come to me for treats. I'd appreciate some insight on what do to. I already reduced light hours, I make sure their diet doesn't have too much protein, etc.

2023.06.07 23:16 Twk11776 Team member rate stay issue

Hi all: I’m a team member and stayed last night at a full service hotel brand. I had so many issues with my stay I’m not one to complain usually especially since I know as team members we get such a great discount. And we aren’t really supposed to fill out any surveys or report any issues, I’ve stayed here many times before and it’s been flawless not this time here goes. I brought my GF with me for the first time We stop by about 11:30am and they tell me to check back at 1 to get the room okay no big deal as I know early checkins are not a guarantee(I’m an FDA myself). We were having fun so went at 3 said it’ll still not ready so we waited she was a little upset but they got us in no big deal all things considered We get up to the room and my GF finds dirty towels are in the bathroom look blood stained. I call down they bring us new ones and “report” this one. Okay not a great look but I get things happen. Then she was getting ready to shower and the shower won’t turn on. I call the desk they tell me to do all these things still won’t work I told them the bottom knob looked really loose and I didn’t want to break it. They send maintenance up. He fiddles with it bit and gets it going. He leaves She goes in the shower trying to turn it back on and Knob falls off Now we have to call maintenance back. He ended up needing to get multiple parts to fix it. This Takes him an hour and a half to do it.
While this is going on I call team member hotline to figure out procure they tell me to talk to the desk.
This delay caused us to miss our dinner reservation. And almost be late to our show. She showers and notices the curtain does not reach the floor. This results in the entire bathroom floor becoming soaked. I used every towel in the room to try to sop it up and dry it. I Run down tell the desk on our way out and tell them what happened request new towels ask them to remove old ones on the floor as it is soaked and a safety hazard to they ensure it’ll be taken care of
We rush to our show Come back to new towels but same icky floor. At this point my GF is livid and keeps telling me that I need to complain about this as if we were full paying guest it would be unacceptable that the room didn’t have a working shower etc. I told her I was worried that if I complained my TM discount could get shut down. She said she’s not the TM I am. I told her she was under my rate so the same rules applied or so I thought.
This morning I left huge back of towels of wet towels outside door.
We talked to manager last night who basically was like your an employee go scratch type thing. He said “your a team member do you want to stay for free” very sarcastically. I think that’s unprofessional when a guest is reporting an issue. I talked him into breakfast.
We talked to a nicer guy this morning. Who couldn’t have been more understanding and kind. I told him I felt bad complaining since we get such a great rate but felt we had a lot of issues with our stay. He totally was understanding and thanked me for bringing it to his attention I felt like he cared about my issues and dissatisfaction .
Now my question is did I do anything to jeopardize my benefits? Should I give my GM a head ups Incase the property I stayed at calls to report my concerns?
Thanks all

2023.06.07 23:16 Lowena_Fox Advice on how to tell my grandma we won't visit because she disinvited our dogs?

 Hello Justin, Morgan, Dad, or anyone else who is apart of the Two hot takes gang, but mainly you beautiful potential commenters. I listen to you all everyday, whether it's the THT or Father knows something youtube. This is my first post via reddit so I apologize if my post seems a bit jumbled. My husband and I are currently planning a road trip to my home state, how exciting! We have been saving up for almost a half a year now for this trip. The reason we started planning the trip is because my Grandpa (dad's side), offered us his boat for free. As long as we make the drive up and buy new trailer tires, he no longer wants the boat. Extra info: Currently 31 weeks pregnant with my first kid and my mom's side of the families first grandkid. My dads side already have a few grand babies. We also have 3 dogs! Old Man(14y), Pretty Princess(2y), and not so smol boi(8m) (not their names) who are generally well behaved dogs and easy to control in new environments. They also love their dog Aunt my grandpa has and love when she visits us, so we can bring them to my grandpa's. Now to the issue. I let my grandma (mom's side) know about the fact that we we're planning on driving up to visit around memorial weekend. The dogs were welcomed and we had a set plan with the dogs. The youngest two are crate trained as well as have 25ft long leashes that anchor to the ground. (Gmail has 6 achers). We were also clear on the fact that our dogs get along with other dogs and will not attack her dog. Something she was worried about but something I know how to handle, and appropriately manage in a safe way. Sadly the trip had to be postponed due to my husband not working for a couple of weeks, making it difficult to save up the last several hundred we needed for comfortably make the trip. (Covering gas, food, potential motel stay, tires, and extra for emergencies.) So the trip has currently been moved to the week of July 4th. So, a few days ago my grandma messaged me about 3 bulging disks in her back (old injury), along with mentioning the injury she disinvited our dogs. Told me I can either set them up at boarding, get a babysitter, or leave them at my grandpa's while we visit her. None of which is a option in my mind. Having worked at multiple boarding facilities, we do not meet requirements in our area to board nor do I trust a place I've never been to. Hiring a dog sitting is also a big no as Old man requires his dad or I's verbal permission to enter our home so no one would be able to get in. As for my grandpa, he is old, does not need to be watching 4 dogs on his own, and another issue with Old Man will pop up. Old man REFUSES to eat without his dad. He will cry, howl, and stress out being watched by other people. Old man has only just started to be chill out with me when his dad goes to work for a week. (Has take2.5 years). I completely understand her wanting a plan around our dogs, especially since she's never met them, but to outright go back on our compromises and attempt to dictate our vacation that we are catering to her to even visit. I even allowed her to invite my mom who I have been no contact with for 6 years for abusing me my entire childhood, because "this is the first grandkid for my mom and babies can heal the past and bring people closer." 🙄 I already am very stressed about having to see my mom and now I have to do it without my dogs to comfort me? NO Way! Everytime I go to let her know that because our dogs were disinvited, and we will not be putting in the effort to visit her during the boat pick up vacation, my message ends up sounding rude and a little angry which is what I want to avoid! I love my grandma even if she wants to look past years of abuse and trauma my mom has done to me, and I do not want to upset her (im a bit of a people pleaser). How can I work my message in a way that won't hurt her feelings? 
Lil extra info: the drive to my grandpa's is 14 hours and will take about 1.4k$ in gas to make it there and back. Going to my grandma's adds another 3 hours of drive time and about 200$ extra. She has offered to mail money but I have denied as any type of gift sent always has claws in the fine lines. The dogs are up to date on shots, have even temperament, listen well to commands, and have had no issues with other dogs outside of Old man's cousin attacking him which he did not react back. The only thing that may be a problem is that all 3 are intact. Old Man has produced 0 puppies in his 14 years and our female is currently in heat and separated from the boys, so she will not be an issue during the trip
Thank you all for reading and any comments and advice are truly appreciated. Sorry if my post has to much information, I didn't know what was important so some things are left out. I'll answer question if needed. Again thank you.

2023.06.07 23:16 CatPot69 Binders safe for light working out?

I don't actually intend to work out in it, but I work a freight job so I'm lifting heavy items a bit, but I'm also walking around, doing stairs and repetitive lifting.
I don't have a large chest, but I am still uncomfortable with it just in a sports bra at work. Ideally I would find a binder that is safe for me to work in, but if that's not possible I'd also take some restrictive sports bras.
Also, any suggestions on male styled bottoms that will fit a woman's body? I'm not curvy, but if I want the waist to fit, I can't get the pants past my thighs, and if I can get them past my thighs, I have to wear a belt because the waist is an extra 4 to 6 inches around. I'm struggling hard trying to find clothes that fit that aren't overly feminine. I'm tired of being mis-gendered at work because I wear tight clothing. I have sensory input issues with jeans, so I still need them to be well fitted in the lower leg.

2023.06.07 23:16 thatoneurchin Jocelyn doesn’t come across as…

Jocelyn doesn’t come across as a big star imo. I know this is a common complaint, but I usually see people dissing the acting, when I don’t think that’s it.
When she goes to the club, she isn’t treated as a super famous celebrity. There’s paparazzi outside, but once she’s inside, no one freaks out, asks for a picture, reacts to her presence, etc. Tedros shouts her out and, aside from a few cheers, no one does anything. Do you think people would have the same non-reaction to Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, or Taylor Swift appearing?
And then, Tedros approaching her. There’s no security with her to check if the guy coming up to dance gets the all clear or not? Anyone can just walk up to her as they please? No one’s worried about her being photographed/filmed publicly grinding on a guy after her revenge porn scandal? It’d be one thing if they tried to warn her, and she brushed them off, but no one seeming to care feels odd. If she’s super famous, has eyes everywhere, and a whole team of people to keep her on track, why can she prance around casually like a random girl?
On top of that, she acts like a random girl. An attractive, female pop star would have encountered a lot of different types of men - some worse than others. Yet, she seems very naive and inexperienced. She’s not wary of the idea that Tedros might be a creep, she overdresses for their date, and she’s desperate for his approval. She comes across like a teenager on her very first date. Maybe that’s the point, but a big celebrity would have dealt with crazy fans, creeps, harassment, bad pickup lines, and all of it before. It’s weird to me that she’d let some guy she just met come into her house and tell her that she can’t fuck.
Maybe I’m missing something, but imo she gave off the vibe that she was new to the industry, not a super well-known star.
