Got in the car this morning to warm it up before holiday travels. After de-icing the doors, it wouldn’t even give me a sound. Dead fucking battery.
Got in my wife’s car to jump mine and wouldn’t make a sound. Dead battery.
Two cars. Two dead batteries. Roadside is quoting me 3 1/2 hours. Looks like we might be spending the holidays at home!
Unexpected dead battery is the worst.
Two on holiday in the freezing fucking cold is just "gimme a minute, I may need a high life and lawn chair to truly bask in the glory of this moment"
We finally gave up on Roadside. We’re spending the holidays at home till we get a car back on Monday. Fortunately, Santa came already so we won’t have pissed off kids. But agreed. Cherry on top of an already stressful week.
Flight to Charleston got canceled. Got to Baltimore, now totally winging it.
I mean B-more is a pretty cool town. At least when I would still get up there some 10 years ago livin’ in NoVA. But there were parts you didn’t wanna go down. The inner harbor area is one of my favorites, but it’s prolly cold as fuck this weekend, so it won’t be fun to walk ‘round outside.
car is finally dead and buried. gotta get a new one so so much for moving out before i graduate. I’m fortunate not to have to worry about rent but this just sucks and i didnt see it coming even though i probably should have
on the bright side i guess it’ll be cool to have a new car after only driving shitboxes my entire life. looking at 2023 honda hr-vs, subaru crosstreks, and toyota c-hrs so if anyone has any insights as to any of these or has other recommendations for new compact SUVs pls let me know. the car market is also a total mess right now and markups are awful so thats fun

This is so not helpful because I’m a million years old, but my first car was a Subaru, and I loved it so much.

I got a 2021 Sportage over the summer, and I'm liking it pretty well so far. I'm sure you're doing it already but look at recent reviews for brands. I feel like things have changed over the last ten years with what brands are good and which aren't. Kia was not on my radar when i started looking, but they have a lot of good stuff being put out about them. The one that shocked me the most is people seem to like Buick Encodes. Never thought I'd see that name pop up on the to buy list. Regardless of which one you end up with, I love the size vehicle they are. You get a little storage space without feeling like you're driving a cruise ship on land.
thank you! i’m most inclined to go with Honda or Toyota as i’ve only driven Hondas and theyve proved very reliable. and my parents love their toyotas as well. the two cars ive owned are 2004 and 2010 honda crvs but i just dont need something that big for my next car. especially the new ones. i am a little nervous about the CV transmission that a lot of new cars have been using though, seems to have a lot of issues
We had our first attempt at artificial insemination two weeks ago - wife's pregnancy test came back negative yesterday. Another tough day, her moreso than me because the doctor commented on how shitty my sample was. I forgot that at our first appointment, the doctor said depending on the quality of the sample the insemination could be off (even after all the hormone drugs, follicle measurement, self-administered shots, etc that my wife endured). Apparently the sample was right on the borderline and they decided to try. So I'm trying to view this as it was the worst sample I've given yet and can only get better (not true of course, but trying to keep my chin up), and that my wife did everything she was supposed to do, so it's my fault.
It did lead to a funny anecdote that I may share where my wife inadvertently insulted my penis.
after four attempts at IUI failed, we moved onto IVF. We harvested eggs at the end of September and produced 5 viable blastocytes or whatever. We did the implantation two weeks ago tomorrow. We knew this meant we'd take a pregnancy test Christmas eve or Christmas Day.
She took the test both mornings. Both were negative. We spent an hour in bed grieving each morning (first at sister in laws, then mother/father in laws).
It ruined our Christmas and our trip to the PNW. Hard to be merry right now.

We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

Girlfriend is travelling for the next 10 days out of the country and won't have service, our night in got cancelled yesterday when my boss called me to deal with an issue at work because she'd decided to start her vacation early. Frustrated at work, but not in a position to do anything about it because the pay allows me to live comfortably.

I’m so sorry to hear this! My wife and I tried an IUI a while back and it was a very negative experience fer her. Our first round of IVF at the end of summer also did not take, which was a big downer findin’ out the day before we went to visit my ma in Wisconsin. Sendin’ hugs and best wishes your way!

So, the site for which I work covers movies, TV, comics, anime, and video games. With Hogwarts Legacy coming out, we've been publishing coverage of it...but with a disclaimer at the top of the articles acknowledging the JK Rowling's statements and our support of the LGBTQ+ community. It's been an effort to walk a fine line of honoring a fandom that's grown beyond Rowling and the work of dozens of people on these properties who do not share her views while also saying what she said sucks and we in no way support it. The disclaimer was crafted in collaboration with trans members of our writing and editing teams.
I was told today to take it down. Apparently, our parent company wants our site to be "apolitical," and apparently, supporting the right of trans people to exist is just too controversial.
Fucking gross. And it's going to be fun for me, a cis male, to explain to the trans members of my team why the site for which they work can't outwardly support their community.
I was so glad to get this job when I got it, but with this plus several other bullshit things that have happened over the past month, I really bought a total lemon. Ugh.
Do you want to dance while also thinking about all the ways you've failed as a human?

thats so fucking nasty. “apolitical” oh so u mean on the side of the oppressor?? it really sucks to have to work for a company like that but i appreciate that you tried and did all you could. unfortunately “gamers” tend to be very much further right so i’m sure they didnt wanna piss off that base

The New York Times had an "apolitical" piece recently about trans kids getting gender-affirming care that was completely transphobic and shitty - the data wasn't, but the framing and the headline was. Clickbait, obviously. Don't beat yourself up when the most prestigious sites are also bought and sold. You can still support your trans team emotionally - they know you can't do anything when it comes to capitalism

As inclusive, tolerant allies, cis folks like us have to do uncomfortable things sometimes. When BS like this happens it need not be any worse coming from a cis man like us, since it gives us an opportunity to reiterate our support and show that we are not all oppressors. Surely you'll do what you have to do with compassion, as much as this stinks for everyone, or you wouldn't be struggling with it.
It's a fine line that a lot of businesses walk, wanting to attract everyone because you're in business to make money and don't want to alienate anyone, but sometimes it's better to take a position and stand by it than pretend like your eyes are closed. My personal thought is that if my model is solid I don't need to cater to idiot jerks. Most of them aren't actually that principled anyway, so they'll probably still buy my product, even if a few whine about us trying to show that we're not fellow idiot jerks.

Had an Uber passenger tonight argue with me about taking her to a second location for free, dump an entire Coke on my back seat when I said no, then report me for sexual harassment. My driver account is in review and I might be losing everything. Uber is paying for my school and I don't know what the fuck I'm gonna do if I end up deactivated.

Fuck dude, I am sorry. This is a horrible situation.
