I received three scholarships from the az community foundation but they have yet to be applied to my student account. Calling hasn’t helped at all because no one answers the phone and when I call the foundation they say to call asu about processin. Just wondering if anyone’s had experience with this and when you eventually had your scholarships applied.
Replaced the light a few months ago because it kept dying on me . Its Worked fine for a bit but now it’s gone out again. Trying to find what the root cause is 🥲😭. Someone pls help a girl out!
The movie doesn’t necessarily have to be bad just something that was boring or unwatchable to you. lol this is mainly inspired by the fact that around 11 years ago I tried watching “My week with Marylin” fell asleep at some point and woke up during the credits , haven’t ever gone back to see the rest of it 😩🤣.
what are some movies that have bored you to sleep or that you’ve tried to watch but just couldn’t.
I think we may all have some random not necessarily obscure but not super well known movie that we absolutely love but whenever we talk about it no one knows what we’re on about. lol what are some of your favorites that fall into this area ? . Some of mine are as follows.
5.Marci X
My life with Michael Keaton and Nicole kidman
Somebody to love , Rosie Perez , Michael de Lorenzo , Steve buscemi lol
Untamed heart , Christian slater , Rosie Perez , Marisa Tomei
El cantante
Sgt pepper 1978 ( my favorite movie of all time)
A brothers kiss
Judgment night
Limelight Charlie Chaplin
Mute . Alexander skaarsgard and directed by Duncan Jones
lol there’s hundreds more but there are what I can think of right now
So in a strange freak accident while I was working , I went to the parking lot and there was a rainstorm . While making it to the parking lot I was hit in the eyebrow by a car door. but thankfully my job was right next to an ER , there was some bone showing and a good amount of inner forehead ( idk what to call it) but when the doctor looked and treated it he said the mark was superficial and would heal ok its own. It has been a few years now and my eyebrow now has a permanent slit from where the injury occured. I’m just wondering why it was labeled superficial when the injury went far beyond the surface of my eyebrow
We have many adaptions of things like the wizard of oz in the wiz , the muppets wizard of oz , straight out of oz , wicked etc. what is your favorite time that a classic story has been taken and reimagined.
This is mainly inspired by the news of a new Christmas carol movie coming out haha and how many fun adaptations there have been of that film.
Edit : Lol forgot to add mine , it’s not really a classic but my favorite film adaptation is the Bee Gees version of Sgt Pepper , I love it because it’s just such a fun movie that you can turn your brain off and forget the worries of the world for an hour and a half haha.
These are two stories one is when my mom was driving and the other is when I was driving , if it matters lol my mom is 55 and I am 25F 🥲🤣. These happened a few years back when she was 48 and I then when I was 20.
So in 2019 we purchased a 1995 Toyota Tercel it was a beautiful car and ran great , one day however the battery died and so we went to autozone for a new one. Shortly after the autozone mechanic finished up we noticed that the hood of the car wasn’t staying closed , he said he couldn’t figure out why and just slammed it. The hood never closed fully again. We were going to put a wire or string in between to hold it shut but hadn’t gotten around to it. So one day as my mom was driving on a very small underpass , the hood flew up completely and slammed into the windshield. Somehow a tire also flew off. Thankfully we were near an auto shop and my mom quickly pulled over , a woman ran from the bus stop and grabbed the tire and hub cap from the street , she also insosted on changing the spare for us. I gave her $40 and thanked her for helping. Thankfully the windshield wasn’t cracked badly and the auto shop man gave us a wire to close the hood. i actually miss that little car so much 😭😂.
The second story isn’t as crazy but still jarring , this happened when I finally got my official license and could drive on my own. This was a different car ford escape. I was still getting used to solo driving and would only drive to and from work. I’m coming back from work and get into one of two turning lanes . We turn and I realize I am in the wrong lane so I signal to get over , Somehow me getting over triggered the pick up truck behind me and he proceeded to chase me about two miles , I switched lanes and made turns and the truck still followed me 🥲 the only reason he stopped it because I pulled into a burger king and he didn’t have time to turn , he flew through a red light and I sat in the parking lot just reeling from the experience.
lol those are just some stories , wondering about the experience of others.
For context I am a 25 y/o woman and I was diagnosed with autism at age 3.
Update more context added because ive been told I am being vauge.
I’ve noticed often both online and in real life when I express an opinion that isn’t popular I’ll either get dog piled on or people will say I’m just trying to anger them. I’m seriously not , all my questions are genuine and I truly on ask to open up a truthful discussion.
At one of my jobs I received my first ever write up and I asked the manager for more clarification, she kept accusing me of being argumentative and not wanting to sign it . I really wanted to know the full facts of the “ why “ behind the reason that I got the write up and further information on my ability to refute the claims. This was after I reported the team lead for constantly nitpicking everything I did while ignoring other coworkers horrid behavior. Her biggest complaint is that she thought I didn’t listen to her because she’d give a correction and i would say “ Okay , nice “ or say “ Mhmm” meaning I have registered the information and made the necessary change. In response she proclaimed that I had an attitude towards her and was being hostile , when k pointed out that she too had an attitude our general manager said it didn’t matter because I was just a team member and she was a shift lead.
another instance that just happened is I was banned from the movies Reddit for “being intentionally antagonistic “ and I’m so confused by what even means. I shared my opinion on some films and some event the films focus on , I wasn’t trying to start a hoopla and even intentionally left some stuff out so as not to be offensive. You can look up what the movie a real pain is about , my biggest gripe with the film is horrible writing and the way that the subject matter is approached , how that got misinterpreted I don’t really know. I also am not a fan of Jessie eisenberg or Kieran culkin and think they both have horrid acting styles. I’m pretty sure they left the post up so people are free to read it and again it’s just my opinion on it and it wasn’t even the biggest point or focus of my post which is why I’d kept that section vauge and brief on purpose.
https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/1v7gbsf/comment/ozy6ozs/?force-legacy-sct=1 This is the post btw and like I said I was banned for “ being intentionally antagonist “ which doesn’t make any sense to me
Just wondering is this a common experience for us ? And what can be done so people realize I’m being serious and not trying to start anything
The Dunkin at 1116 s Crismon rd is absolutely disgusting , both in terms of restaurant cleanliness and the way customers are talked about behind their backs. I worked there for a while and in that time I saw so many hideous things including but not limited to , black sludge Behind the coffee machines , eggs kept at the wrong temperature, being Told to clean The bathrooms / lobby and then to fix the donut case immediately after. Even with washing hands that’s disgusting. I even found an expired orange juice the date was October and I found it in may. The language used to describe customers is also so bad it doesn’t even need to be mentioned again. I also have screenshots and a video of an expired orange juice I found while working there but this thread won’t let me add a video and pictures at the same time. These screenshots are just some of the craziness that went on , the entire work group chat was honestly unprofessional and disgusting.
Update : attached is the email I have from the health dept as well , because people keep asking if I reported them.
So many dashers really pretend other people don’t exist or that it’s an excuse to be rude just because they’re in a rush to grab orders. I dash myself and would never take part in some of the asshat behaviors I’ve witnessed. For Example the other day my sister and I were at a restaurant waiting for our pizza and I was cold so I went to sit outside and my sister stayed inside at a table. This dasher comes in to pick up an order and I guess it’s a lot of pizzas , through the glass I see this woman proceed to pull out a bunch of dasher bags and her phone + other items and put them down on the table my sister is sitting at, grazing her arm in the process. Mind you there is an empty table literally INCHES away. The woman walked out with one half of the order but left the stuff on the table so I walked back in and moved her stuff and phone to the new table then sat down with my sister . When she walked back in she glared at my sister and I , then proceeds to tell the cashier her door dashing sob story while staring at us. Lady no one care that you have 12 kids and 7 other jobs , don’t be rude and don’t shove your stuff down where someone is already sitting. 😒🙄
My first concert ever was Marc Anthony in 2023. I made a sign and actually ended up meeting him after the show , where he gave me a hug and danced with me. I had been saving for nearly a year and had always wanted to go to a concert but hadn’t ever had the opportunity to. For me that concert was super special because I stepped out of my comfort zone (I never leave the house 🤣 and don’t interact socially very much) and ultimately stepped away with a beautiful experience. Wondering how other peoples first concerts went and any fun stories you have haha.
To begin around 6 months ago my grandpa gave me his old computer. I tried to erase and reset it a few times but I’ve been busy and haven’t been able to really work on it. The computer is old and heavy so I don’t bring it out much. Around a week ago he calls and curses out my mom and myself saying he “ needs his f***kin computer back and he’s “ not f****kin playing” he said I either need to give him the computer or the files on It. I told him I’d try and get it to him when I could and was again cursed out. Its not like I’m intentionally being avoidant but I genuinely don’t have the time right now and my truck is messing up so I don’t want to risk the hour and forty minute drive to his house. I don’t know whats so important in the files or why he randomly wants it back after saying nothing all this time. I do plan on getting him the files but like I said life has been lifeing lately.
also if it matters for i am 25F and my grandpa is 79M
Edit : because people are reading this wrong apparently. My grandpa gave me the computer because he got a new one. I tried to fix it of my own accord so it would go faster for things like video editing and other stuff. The computer is 16 years old and I did not ask him for it , he gave it to me as a gift. I set it up properly once in all that time and then turned it off realizing id need more free time to work on it. He hasn’t said anything about the computer until just now.
My truck a/c recently started blowing hot air and I’m looking to have it checked out. I’m just a bit weary because the car I had , took it to big o tires and then a local mechanic to fix the a/c and shortly after the car started randomly shutting off , not to mention the a/c still hardly worked. This time around I’m hoping to find someone reputable and not too expensive for this very necessary repair lol. I’ve also already checked the cabin air filter and the fuse box . Taking it to autozone soon for some diagnostics but I don’t want to mess around too much under the hood and make things worse. So if anyone knows any where please help a girl out 🥲
Lol I’m a relatively new dasher and I had this happened to me during my 12th ever order lol. Not the worst thing ever but I get an order and as always I check the app and the order number multiple times and house number to guarantee I have the right house, I drop the food off and go back to my car thinking nothing of it. As I’m about to drive off a Woman knocks on my window and says if I have the right house because she didn’t order any food, I check my screen shots and recent orders and that was the right address. I try to call the customer in chat but that wouldn’t work so I wen through support and the customer finally answers screaming “ you dropped my food off at the wrong place“ I read him the adress and he goes “ oh I lived there in like 2018 and I was kinda f***ed up when I ordered sorry” no worries lmao I go back to the spot and he’s 1 house down from the address he typed in , so out he shuffled with his fat little dog , they got their tacos and I went on my way.
just a funny story, nothing that bad lol . Has this happened to any one else while dashing ?
My parents were born in the early 1970s , born in ‘71 and ‘73 and I grew up with stuff like little house on the prairie , the twilight zone ,crocheting and knitting as leisurely activities , floppy disks and big back computers etc. Music varied but growing up in AZ in the early 00s , I remember Luis Miguel’s “ Mexico in la piel” album being everywhere .My sister and I also played lots of flash games.
My Mom listened to a lot of everything so now my music taste is equally varied 🤣. side no , does anyone remover when you could test out mp3 players and hear the latest albums at stores ?
i also have never used tiktok and I didnt Have an Instagram until late 2020 🤣. Not sure if it’s because of my age or growing up with older parents but hopefully this post makes sense lol.
TLDR : how old are your parents and what nostalgic things did you grow up with typically associated with older generations.
posted this in r/GenZ but someone suggested I add it here as well.
So I am older gen z b.2000 and I always find the stark differences between the later gen Z and us older one’s fascinating. But I also think the parents age has a lot to do with things you grew up with , music , movies , media etc. and wonder how it varied from person to person.

So I have been experiencing lower back and knee pain for a while , more than 10 year. every time I go to a doctor they said it’s probably strain , but I don’t tend to do many strenuous activities. My daily exercise is mainly yoga , light aerobics/ dancing and walking my dog .In the past I was diagnosed with a patella malformation and mild marfaan syndrome but there was no follow up or aftercare plan made as far as I know.
I think a big issue is the pain comes and goes , it’ll be extremely dull or hardly noticeable for about two weeks and then it always come back sharper and more taxing.
I’ve noticed the pain has gotten significantly worse over the years , particularly right before my period starts. it’s gotten to the point where I can hardly drive or walk anymore without Searing pain shooting through my back or knees. I’m wondering what I can do to treat this and how I can go about explaining to doctors irl so I can finally reach a manegable solution.
Also looking to pinpoint the main cause , if it’s a height issue , a weight issue or something more.
So long story short I work at Dunkin’ Donuts in arizona. If it matters I am 25 years old , a woman and I am autistic ( diagnosed at age 3). I’m also tall and I’ve been told that people were scared by me “ towering over them menacingly”. There Is one shift lead who has constantly told me off for small mistakes like forgetting a donut or putting in a drink wrong at the register. I’ve asked for clarification in what I’ve done wrong been told I’m argumentative and insubordinate.
This is also them completely ignoring the fact that anytime I’ve been approached it’s been someone yelling at me or scolding me harshly on an event that has already occurred.
I spoke with the manager about this and the DM , but now they’re claiming that every shift lead has complained that they cannot talk to me and that I’m so intimidating to everyone.
I’ve never been told that information and I only work at the store two days a week and Wasn’t ever properly trained on various tasks . when I explained where I was getting confused at the manager told me I was just making excuses for my behavior. When I had already apologized if I came across as rude or offensive due to my facial expressions or gestures.
A point I think is worth noting is that this Dunkin has one star reviews for how rude the employees and staff are , dating back to before I worked there. In the employee meeting the manager even mentioned how she once told a customer to “ gtfoh of her f’in drive thru. I explained that I didnt think it was right that I was being accused of having an attitude when everyone else was also rude and had attitudes , they claimed that it didn’t matter and that no one can do their jobs because of me.
Finally today the manager pulled out a write up and said that I needed to change my behavior or else. When I asked some clarifying questions and for a better explanation she went “ you’ve asked me six times and I’ve never had this kind of pushback on a write up”
sorry if this is all over the place , Im Trying to make this as concise as possible.
I haven’t quit and I haven’t been fired , just wondering what can be done in this situation and what’s the best thing to move forward.
So ever since I can remember my mom would eat raw flour and baking soda , she always said that she’s done this since she was 14 years old. Actual flour like all purpose cooking flour. She would also occasionally eat pancake mix if she ran out of flour. The addiction to flour was really bad to the point where as kids we’d have to go and ask neighbors for some when my mom didn’t have any money to buy any. Flour and baking soda would sometimes be the only food we had , but my mom would cook it for my sister and I l.However this randomly stopped a few years ago , she just doesn’t do it anymore. But now it’s spread to me , I first noticed when I was 18 and living away from my mom that anytime I was near flour I was salivating and had the urge to eat it. This never happened when I lived with her and I never had the wanting to eat it , now I am 26 and I eat flour , I live with my mom now and I know it would crush her if she knew that I was eating flour too. I feel bad for doing this but now I can’t seem to stop myself from sneaking and eating it. I guess I’m just wondering if it really is possible to inherit addiction from parents and how to stop it.
Edit because I forgot to mention it here : Yes , I do know about pica and the wanting to eat non food objects.I believe my mom was diagnosed with pica when she was much younger. From what I’ve gathered over the years it’s an eating disorder
So I previously colored my hair copper last year around November. I’m wanting To fix and redo my color but I don’t want any damage , I’m thinking I’ll bleach the front and just recolor the back.
