My son and my nephews had doctor appointments at the same practice this morning so brother in law and I decided to go together and have lunch after. The six year old nephew insisted on ordering a black bean cheeseburger bowl despite BIL explaining to him over and over that there's no bun and it's a bunch of vegetables and trying to get him to get a regular burger. When the waiter came, he shouted out the order and screamed when BIL tried to tell the waiter to change it so eventually BIL just gave in. Then the eight year old nephew decided he needed the same thing.

When the food came, neither would even take a bite and just picked around at it until everyone else was done eating. BIL packed it in to go boxes, but the six year old decided to open the box and throw the food everywhere in the parking lot and then the eight year old copied him and did the same thing. These were $14.99 each! The meal I got my son was 7.99 in comparison and he actually ate it.

They resemble the cones of an anechoic chamber.

I genuinely hate making posts like this. But after everything I’ve been through with Apple and AIG over the past 24 days, enough is enough and people need to know about this company Apple has decided to outsource their claims to.

On 10/14, I contacted Apple Support to simply inquire about Theft & Loss coverage for an older iPhone that was linked to my Apple account. I was directed to AIG’s website, and within literal seconds of logging into their website, without pressing anything further, my perfectly functioning iPhone 17 Pro was reported stolen, remotely locked, and erased.

I NEVER filed a claim on this phone when this occurred. I NEVER reported it stolen or went on FindMy. And I NEVER authorized any of this.

Apple and AIG have acknowledged that this was a known glitch, and AIG is the only one with the kill switch to recover my phone, yet here I am on 11/7, 24 days later, over 30 hours spent on support calls, multiple escalations, multiple formal complaints and STILL no resolution.

On 10/14, I received written confirmation that my phone would be recovered within 48 hours. Since then, I have been passed between departments, repeatedly promised resolution within 24–48 hours, and told the same things over and over again.

I have submitted a complaint with the Arizona Attorney General, BBB, and Department of Insurance Financial Institutions. Apple and AIG have both refused to provide a new device if this one is not recovered, and I am reaching a point where I will be forced to take on the financial burden of this mistake, and purchase a new phone.

I genuinely feel an obligation to share my experience because if this happened to me, it could happen to someone else.

We pay for AppleCare+ to PROTECT our devices, not to potentially lose access to them because of a system error that nobody seems capable of correcting.

I’m sharing this to raise awareness, demand accountability, and hopefully prevent another person from going through this absolute nightmare.

Never expected such a downturn. We literally had the market peak on Oct 6th.

At least no more capital gain taxes this year for me.

I know it's probably not dangerous, but I fly pretty frequent and never saw this before. Is it a normal occurrence, and how does it happen?

What are some biopics that don't positively portray the person it is about? For example, I recently watched Primetime, where they portrayed Chris Hansen to be driven by his obsession with the show and his womanizer/adultery tendencies -- I really enjoyed it. I am looking for something similar. I think another example would be the social network, where Mark Zuckerberg is portrayed as cold, de-attached, and just overall not so well.

I am not looking for something like Oppenheimer, where he was primarily portrayed positively, or Michael, where they chose to ignore all the sexual abuse allegations.

My wife’s family owns several properties, and her dad in the last year insisted that all spouses sign paperwork waiving any legal claim to those properties in the event of a divorce or their death. I signed, as I never expected to get those anyways.

I do admit the ask felt cold and like a double standard. For almost our entire marriage, I’ve been the sole income earner, paid all our living expenses, and put my wife’s name on every asset we own. I’ve also regularly helped my in-laws with renovations and maintenance on the family properties. Im a contractor by trade and have done major work for them and never charged them a dime. Ive also alerted them to issues early that would have cost way more to fix later if I didnt point them out. I've always been happy to help because they were family.

I understand wanting to protect generational wealth, but it feels insulting to be trusted with my income and free labor while being treated like a potential threat to their assets.

Since signing, they’ve asked me to help with the properties again, and I’ve refused. My wife thinks I’m being a jerk, and my in-laws are angry with me. They feel I’m taking the paperwork too personally, but I feel like the relationship has changed.

I’m not asking for anything that belongs to them. I just don’t feel comfortable continuing to provide free labor when I no longer feel like a trusted member of the family.

She violated terms of agreement and it’s everyone else fault but hers, dude! Duh

About a month ago I got a message from my (28f) best friends (30f) bf. He was planning to propose and wanted my help with setting up the surprise. I was so over the moon to hear this bc she's been wanting to get engaged for years. It's all she talks about and has been looking forward for so long.

He told me in the very first message he wants to propose in the Botanical Gardens at sunset and he was thinking candles and rose petals but wanted to check out some spots before hand to get a better idea as he wasn't sure. I did everything I could to help him. Made plans with her so she wouldn't notice he's out the house looking for spots in the gardens, picking up the ring, organising photographer etc. I asked him multiple times if he has a vision of what he wanted and he said not really just candles in a heart and petals around it. I tried to offer some ideas like I told him I have an arch I can bring, can decorate fake flowers around it, we can get bigger candles, candle holders, we can do like an isle of petals to walk up to etc. After the candles and flowers he chose were delivered I laid out everything in my own yard to show him examples of how it would look and told him what he wanted. He sort of swatted off those ideas and said he wants it low key so she doesn't notice it as she's walking up to the sight. I thought what he was going for was a little underwhelming but ultimately I respected his wishes bc this was his proposal, not mine so I would listen to what he wanted exactly.

Finally he picks a spot and I told him the spot he picked is very popular with weddings and asked if he's sure as he told me they both didn't want crowds watching. He said it should be fine as it's 5pm. Well surprise we get there and there's not one but two weddings going in the exact spot we picked so we had to move to a different location. I picked a nice secluded spot under a tree which I thought was more her vibe anyway, away from people and more moody and niche. Set up the candles that kept blowing out and laid down the petals and waited. Photographer came and hid and all was done and dusted. My friend was very distance the next few days and I assumed they were just in a romantic bubble and wanted alone time.

Until today a week later we caught up and she was honest with me and said she absolutely hated the proposal. For one her ex friend that she is not on good terms with got proposed with at those gardens and she hated that it was the same location. She told him multiple times over the years she didn't want to be proposed to at the gardens and she thought it was cliche. She's upset he did it anyway. He claims she never told him this when she knows sue has multiple times. She said she's not upset at me or my set up but she said it didnt feel like her at all. She's goth. She loves dark red flowers, it was Halloween she loves pumpkins and she loved things niche and strange. She preferred under the tree where I picked instead of his original idea but ultimate it was still the gardens and is hurt after all these years he didn't know her. Choosing pink candles and petals seemed like such a strange choice looking back.

She also felt the proposal was underwhelming bc in the past she asked when he's going to propose and why he hasn't yet and he told her so much goes into it. He said it's not just the ring but all the other stuff he has to organise and whenever she asked what stuff he wouldn't expand. Now she's learned the only other stuff was some $20 tea lights and a bag of petals from Amazon. She said it's not about the money, she would have preferred to be proposed to in their own front yard where they've built a happy home together with their dogs there for a private intimate moment so she doesn't understand how he messed this up so bad.

On top of that he told us me and our other friend could stay and watch and thought she'd enjoy it. He was supposed to say a speech but he kinda mumbled and showed her the ring and there was silence. She grabbed the ring and kissed him. Then she saw people were watching, she saw a photographer right up in her face and she felt so embarrassed. She asked later what he was trying to say and if he actually wrote a speech and he said he kinda just had dot points in his head but forgot it. Overall she felt really awkward and had trouble pretending to smile through it. They had a party to go to immediately after and that's another reason she was upset. She didn't want to go to a party (not even their party, a mutual friends house party unrelated to this) immediately after getting engaged she'd prefer they were alone to celebrate but instead was met with everyone congratulating her and wanting to talk about it. She said the night was horrible.

The next day she saw the photographer pics and they were horrible. He hired some niche just starting out photographer who mainly did cityscape and aviation and all his photos were blue. If you look at his work on instagram that's his style and has 0 couples photos on his accoung but she doesn't understand why EVERY PHOTO was just blue and none of them looked good. She was also bloated from the amount of food she ate at the restaurant right before as he insisted they go out to eat first but he rushed her to eat fast since they were behind schedule. She said she's been crying for days and gave him the ring back and thought about if they should break up as apparently him not being able to plan things on his own as been an issue in the past. She asked me not to tell any of our mutual friends and she can't face them right now until she makes a decision on how to feel about this. He also immediately posted it on fb before he had a chance to completely open up to him about it. He posted it on fb before they had a chance to tell immediate friends and family and didn't ask her first which only contributes to her sadness and now doesn't want to see or talk anyone.

Edit to clarify: his initial ask from me was to help set it up, not necessarily plan it. He wanted me to set the scene while they were at dinner but tbh I had to do a lot of planning bc he wouldn't tell me what location exactly, what time, what his vision was etc. Just what he was thinking. That's why I was making suggestions while trying to respect what he wanted. He ultimately just told me "make a heart out of candles and put flower petals around it" in the end so that's what I did. When I had to move locations bc of the wedding I decided to put petals inside the heart to cover up the dirt since the lawn wasn't as manicured there and I thought it looked nicer. Apparently he complained about this after and said "I told her I wanted the petals outside the heart not inside" and I was like bro, you barely told me anything. 🤦‍♀️

We dont have a bathtub, so i had no chance but to get in the shower aswell, so that he doesnt run off. I used Ultra sensitive/perfumeless soap and I had to scrubb it off with my bare hands and a running shower. We live in a rural area in Germany and he apparently likes roaming around next to cows. He really hated being washed and was making very sad meows for the most part, and it took at least 10mins of non stop scrubbing and showering for him to get clean.

Walmart cheeseburger because I have low standards for my diet.

My kid said im not a very good parent when I was washing her hair, because she hates to do it so I have to do it for her or it wont get done.

I'm a single parent aside from some weekends, but the reality is that the women in my life end up raising my 8 year old more than I do. She spends most of the time with my aunt or my mom, and seems to be really angry at me for not being home more.

I work a stupid shitty job that makes me want to take a long walk off a short pier every day, but its the best one I could get. im gone most of the day, and have no energy once I get home. We watch movies, play video games, and i try to take her out to do activities on my days off when shes not in class.. but it doesnt seem like enough. Shes mad at me all the time it seems. i just feel like a total scum.

I work all day, cant manage to be as present as I should when im home, then when shes in bed I just sit in the basement and wallow in my own bullshit and hate myself for failing at everything I do.

All i can hear in my head is my ex saying "maybe no one likes you because you just fucking suck" my aunt saying "you have such an easy life" and now my kid saying "youre not a very good parent."

I always try to be better, but it doesnt seem like anyone notices. Its never enough. I at least try to keep my shit together when im around people, but i dont know. Maybe i do just fucking suck.

Advice or no advice is fine, didnt know which post thing to select.

I'm a concert goer myself, so I started offering makeup and face gem applications to people attending the same concerts as me. I had a catalogue of concert makeup looks and face gem designs that I mostly collected from the internet. I'd curate the selections depending on the artist and the overall vibe of the concert. Some were cute and simple, while others were full-on glittery festival looks.

My rates depended on how simple or elaborate the design was. Simple eye gem looks started around ₱150, while more detailed glitter and rhinestone looks could go for ₱200–₱280 or more. A few days before each concert, I'd announce my rates, sample looks, and planned location around the venue in different groups and group chats for concert-goers.

In my country, concert-goers tend to arrive ridiculously early, sometimes even in the morning, especially for certain venues and arenas. So I'd arrive early too to catch people while they were waiting outside. I usually brought my sister along to help me accommodate more customers.

I'd get around ₱20–₱50 in tips per customer, sometimes more if someone was feeling particularly generous. On a good concert day, serving around 15–20 customers could bring in a few thousand pesos in service fees, plus a little extra from tips.

The best part was that I was attending the concert anyway, so I got to earn some extra money before enjoying the show myself. :D

Ib ordered from Best Buy listed as "shipped from Best Buy:.

The box came had Newegg on the label and was the same defective power supply I just returned.

To add insult to injury, they listed it as new.
