I've been wanting to go to a chain gym for over a year now but I can't make myself go. I'm going to the one in my building and another very small one that I have a subscription for very cheap, but it only has a few machines. I'm terrified of looking stupid, everyone is always observing everyone in the gym. I'm terrified of men thinking I'm there to get their attention as a woman as well.

I've previously been terrified of going to libraries to study and conquered that in small steps by starting with a guided tour through one. I don't have any ideas on how to small-step the gym anxiety since I've already done all I could come up with and still haven't gotten myself to even do a trial day in a big gym.

Anyone been there or have any ideas?

Ist das anderen schon passiert? Bei Lieferando sowie Wolt wurden bei mir heuer schon forgende Sachen angetroffen:

- Lieferant sagt, er hat es abgegeben, aber ich habe von ihm nichts gehört. Weder unten an der Gegensprechanlage geläutet, noch angerufen, noch bei meiner Wohnung gesichtet worden. Kundenservice sagt, er beteuert, dass er es "dem Kunden" (bin eine Frau) übergeben hat.

- Lieferung wird als geliefert angegeben, aber ich sehe den Lieferant ankommen, herumschauen, Stiege wurde nicht gefunden (sehr leicht zu finden), und wieder abfahren. Das kam heuer 3x vor.

-Das dreisteste: Lieferant konsumiert vor meinem Haus meine Lieferung nachdem er angegeben hat, dass er abgeliefert hat. Hat wohl vermutet, dass er unter dem Fahrraddach nicht gesehen wird.

Für Letzteres habe ich einen 10% Gutschein bekommen, den ich innerhalb von 6 Tagen einlösen "durfte" (ist natürlich verfallen, weil ich dachte, dass es eine ganze Woche wäre - my bad /s)

Was ist da los? Warum ist das jetzt so gehäuft? Sind das Leute, die gefeuert werden wollen und lieber bock auf AMS haben?

Bei uns landen seit einiger Zeit ständig viele Tauben, kacken alles voll und versuchen, Nester zu bauen. Die Schmutz- und Lärmbelastung ist dadurch hoch. Jegliche Versuche, die Tauben anderweitig fernzuhalten (Wegscheuchen, reflektierende Teile, Vogelatrappen, Spikes, Geräte, die Töne verursachen, die die Tiere angeblich nicht mögen, etc.) sind komplett sinnlos. Wir können den Balkon nicht mehr verwenden und durch den Taubenkot, derer Entfernung man auch nur schwer hinterher kommt, weil ständig nach kommt, entsteht auch ein Gesundheitsrisiko.

Wir müssten im Prinzip von 4:30 in der Früh bis ca. 23:00 Uhr ständig überwachen und die Tauben selbst weg scheuchen. Selbst dann kacken sie vorm Wegfliegen (viel).

Lüften geht somit auch nicht mehr einwandfrei, weil mehrere Fenster betroffen sind. Das regelmäßige Lüften ist aber in dieser Wohnung wichtig, um Schimmelbildung zu vermeiden. Generell müssen wir wegen der Hitze und auch sonst mindestens einmal am Tag querlüften, aber das geht durch die Tauben eben gar nicht mehr.

Wir haben nun mit der Vermieterin gesprochen und sie hat zwar zugestimmt, dass wir ein festes Netz anbringen lassen dürfen, müssen die Kosten aber selber tragen.

Jetzt meine Frage, ist es zulässig, dass wir die Kosten tragen müssen, wenn wir durch die Tauben zu Schaden kommen, oder können wir hier irgendwas tun, damit die Kosten übernommen werden? Hat jemand Erfahrung?

I recently visited a dentist, but now I'm not sure if I want to keep going to this dentist and I booked a different appointment. I read I can ask to get my x-rays from the dentist. Can I just call them and ask them to e-mail the digital prints to me? Do I need to give a reason? Are they allowed to send them via e-mail for data protection reasons? How do I give them to my next dentist?

Thanks in advance

That's the whole post.

They had this bridal day that I thought was her bachelorette's, but apparently was just some game evening with super overkill decoration and dressup?

Then the actual bachelorette's was just them drinking cocktails early, then going to a mixology class, reading steamy book passages and then going on a guided tour drunk? I mean it sounds nice and lowkey but I don't get the allocation of effort. Why did they dress up and decorate so hard for a game night with all the neighborhood women and not for the bachelorette's and why are there multiple bachelorette events with different crowds?

Why did they drag Peggie on the trip only to then cut her short when she was going to open up about her recent breakup? I felt kind of bad for her during the scenes of that trip, she was a fourth wheel while the sweeEeet magnlolias celebrated their lifelong friendship.

Then the bachelorette's seamlessly blends into Maddie and Cal's "honeymoon" which seems to be one singular steamy night in a hotel? Lol don't get me wrong, that's nice too, but why does it have to be called their honeymoon? They could still plan a full honeymoon next year at that point and just call this a date night surprise.

And no, I wasn't close to losing. My opponent had lost substantial material to me and wasn't in a favorable position in the game at that point. There were over 7 minutes left for each player. And the other player wasn't just leaving the game.

It didn't even give the end animations. Just threw me back to the chess game history screen where I saw my new, lower Elo and the apparent "loss"

Then it gave me a "update your app" push notification.

Together with actually deducting ELO after I had a win the other day, and it deducting 3-10x more ELO at a loss than it adds at a win, I'm really getting fed up with this trash app.

What the hell Duolingo Chess? Remember you won't keep clients by frustrating the living shit out of them. Fix your lousy buggy app you fuckers.

Now that summer has begun, I want to tell anyone intending to get on a bike or a scooter that you're supposed to give way to pedestrians, not the other way around. If you injure someone, you might receive legal ramifications. People have died via scooters colliding with pedestrians. Just because you're faster than a pedestrian, doesn't mean that you're the one who has priority. The law actually protects pedestrians here, not you.

Today, a woman furiously rang her bike bell at me and looked at me fuming because I dared to use a pedestrian crossing that was crossing a bike path. I had to step back to let her pass, otherwise she would have ran me over because she wasn't willing/able to even stop her bike in time. The crossing was well visible from a long distance, so it for sure didn't hit her by surprise, she just didn't want to. I hate people like her.

If you're on wheels, you're supposed to stop before a crossing and let pedestrians pass! This is basic knowledge anyone should know before getting their stupid ass on a wheeled contraption.

If you're drunk, get a fucking taxi. Don't have the money? Drink less, save more money, stop endangering other people like a completely asocial asshole.

I will not apologize for the profanity.
