@DrQuinn Country clubs fall under the āif you have to ask how much it costs, you canāt afford to buy itā rule.
@insomniac used to manage a store in a mall that had an entire wing devoted to high end retailers like Balenciaga and Hermes. I have met āthe right kind of peopleā and can assure you that I wish I hadnāt.
(Also, YMCA maybe?)

because you canāt even get on the waitlist unless you have two current members vouch for you, but of course they donāt publish their membership lists so itās a real you already have to know the right people kind of thing. Completely ridiculous.
Ugh that happened to me. I was likeā¦ come on, Iāve lived in this community for almost ten years. Iām a volunteer for the community ambulance service. I can get you as many references as you need but I donāt know if I even know anybody at your flipping club.
It wasnāt even a fancy schmancy country club, it was just a community pool club.

@Aria There isnāt one nearbyāthereās a couple in neighboring communities, but honestly the further away they are the less likely that weāll use them so I was really hoping thereād be a reasonable option nearby. We live RIGHT up the road from what used to be a splash pad and a beach on a pondā¦that closed during the pandemic and now they say they canāt reopen because itās in a state of disrepair. Sigh.

My RL Peeve right now is my cat and his homocidal desires towards me.

I donāt know what Iām doing wrong in my life but this was the second time I had to unfollow Facebookās automatic recommendations of some pretty right-wing videos this week.
Mind you, I donāt even like being targeted for propaganda with political beliefs I actually have.
Plus Iām Canadian, leave me alone Zuck!

@Arkandel Apparently, a bunch of the shit Iām interested in online āextracurricularlyā is more commonly enjoyed by right-wingers and it seems like algs decide that being interested in scholarly legal publications or writing for scholarly legal publications means I want to nail my libtard neighbor to a cross or host a bbq for Jordan Peterson while Prager U for Kids is blaring in the background.
Lazy algs are fun.

I want chocolate with crispy rice bits in it.
I also want an assurance that neither chocolate nor crispy rice bits were harvested by child slaves.
-
@GF You can have one or the other but not both.
-
@TNP So it seems, yes.
-
@GF Can you purchase seperately and then shove both in your mouth at the same time?

Dealing with a vendor that has absolutely crippled their customer service reps to the point where itās almost impossible to talk to them. It is incredibly difficult to not be frustrated with the people on the front lines, even knowing that they arenāt responsible for any of the policy matters that Iām running into. GRRRRRRRR.

I frequently offer up āIām not frustrated with you. Youāre the nice person trying to help me fix someone elseās mistake.ā Customer service reps seem to appreciate that one and it also generally makes them much more willing to escalate me up the phone chain.

willing to escalate me up the phone chain.
Save yourself a ton of time and go on social media. You are much more likely to reach someone who can actually do stuff going through a front-line social media CSR than a call center supervisor (who is actually probably not a supervisor, just a person who takes escalated calls).
The most effective method is if you can go on Twitter and @ the company and their competitor(s).

I donāt know if it is lingering covid or the start of the school year but I am tired. Right now Iām barely dragging myself through each day. If I had let myself stop today I would legit have fallen asleep in my chair.
But at the same time I am laying in bed but canāt fall asleep thanks to a running nose and coughing.
-
For real though, my moneyās on the COVID.

People who feel the need to comment on strangersā bodies.

My favorite was the cab driver who Iād just given a very large tip, that then told me I wouldnāt have broken my foot ā and would also find myself a nice man ā if I werenāt fat.
This was in 2014. I started using rideshare apps after that and the one who went on a racist rant specifically so I could leave reviews for people who needed to just Absolutely Fucking Not.

Our poor Level 1/2 teacher has been asked 3 times in the 10 days we have been back to school if she is pregnant.
She isnāt.
People need to stop being mean. It is none of their damn business.
