TLDR: vague rules & power tripping mods make this not as fun a lot of times. Anyone else?

> Tries to post about something that’s on my mind in a new group
> Gets notification that my post was removed because I haven’t met the minimum requirement for commenting to be allowed to post
> Goes to read rules to see how many comments I have to do
> No mention of this rule, or the requirements
> Messages mods for clarification
> Mods say just keep commenting you’ll eventually be able to post
> Mentions I’ve since done numerous comments & my second post got removed also, so I was wondering how many comments I have to do, & note that I’m not trying to be argumentative, I’m just autistic & struggling to understand what’s happening
> Mod responds just keep commenting & you’ll eventually be able to post
> I block the mod, hide the chat, & mute the group. If this is how they treat someone asking for help I’m going to get kicked out anyways.

PS. By the time I unlock the gift of posting, I’ll probably have lost interest in what I wanted to say anyways lol

This was about American football it’s not that serious lol

Did you know that some wealthy parents are intentionally making sure their kid doesn’t graduate so they can pay their way into a private school for a 5th year of HS football eligibility? Jesus, send your kid to juco or a smaller college like a real parent.

This kid was on varsity 4 years, started for 3… on a team that made the state playoffs numerous times. I’m not hating on the kid, I wish him the best… but I don’t think his parents are doing him any favors with turning him into a man, or having him compete against 15-18 year olds for another year as a 19 year old.

I’m against 25-30yo’s routinely playing in college, & apparently I’m against 19-20yo’s playing in high school too.

I’m a Gen Z parent, but most of them are raising a soft generation. Just had to get this out because my mind is blown.

Someone ordered an item 7 days ago. My production time says 10 days. I started it yesterday (I’ve had a ton of orders lately). They just requested a refund. No personal message. Just claims they accidentally placed an order.

How do you notice after a week that you accidentally placed an order? Mmm hmm. Either you were drunk, or, you’re mad my production time is accurate & you don’t have it yet imo.

I don’t want to refund her, but, I believe they can leave a review if I don’t so it’s not worth it.

I loved seasons 1-3, 4 was ok… season 5 I honestly don’t even know wtf I just watched lol

For the arrested development fans out there, it’s funny, cause I could totally see Maeby doing all of this… especially leading a cult.

Season 2 is giving White Lotus. I like it!

Don’t get this from season 1, so unexpected surprise!

Season 2 of Netflix’s ‘Beef’ feels a lot like White Lotus… anyone else notice this?

I didn’t get this from season 1 of Beef.

I have a Honda. Car play is working, BUT Google Maps voice navigation stopped working a few weeks ago & I can’t get it to work despite trying everything. (No it is not muted).

I’m having a migraine flare up & having to constantly look at the screen is making me dizzy af. So over this.

My doctor says “Effexor is the best antidepressant on the market!” It’s his “favorite!” It’s given to “help with migraines, zero chance it’ll make (mine) worse!” It “wakes people up, he’s never heard of it making someone sleepy (like it does with me).” He doesn’t know wtf he’s talking about.

I was hospitalized back in December because auvelity caused my migraines to become treatment resistant & non stop for two months. After some research I found that auvelity does that to some people after being on it for a few months. Once I got off it migraines stopped.

I’ve been on effector for about 2 months now. I haven’t noticed any benefits. It just makes me sleep 16+ hours a day. Now I’m on day 18 of migraines. They’re treatment resistant again. I’ve done some research & it looks like it’s from the Effexor. I’m done. I’m not winding up in the hospital again. I can’t afford to financially, emotionally, & we have to be out of our house by June 20.

I don’t have time for this. I know a slow taper is ideal, but I’d rather put up with mild to moderate withdrawal symptoms than non stop migraines. I’m 11 years sober I can handle withdrawal. Been there done that. Migraines, no. My son graduates high school in a few weeks & we have to move. I’m a single mom. I own my own business. I cannot lose months of my life to migraines again & my doctor is so in love with Effexor he’s not being helpful.

Plus I’ve only been on it two months so I don’t think it’ll be as bad as if I had been on it long term. Anyways, I have a 3x’s a day for a month worth of 37.5mg ER Effexor & I need to figure out the quickest way to get off this crap. Like I’m talking a few weeks tops. I can’t do these migraines. I get one within hours of taking a dose. I’m so done.

I’m supposed to take 37.5mg 3x/day to decrease the non stop sleeping (which isn’t helping anyways).

ETA: just looking for tapering advice, thanks!

I haven’t been feeling well & when I finished season 1 I saw season 2 had a ton of subtitles right out the gate & I wasn’t in the mood, so I went on to season 3 & decided I’d loop back to season 2 later. Oops season 3 totally spoiled season 2. (And yeah there was still some subtitles in 2 but not as much).

I kind of hate that I did this to myself, but I honestly didn’t think at first that the seasons would be that connected, even when Belinda showed up. But by the time she found out what “Gary” did it was too late for me lol

Anyone else watch them out of order?

I (40f) have been a single mom since I was 21. My son graduates HS in May, so child support ends next month.

I’m disabled (PTSD, panic disorder, autism, migraines) but delayed applying for disability I guess because of pride & I was getting by. I’m self-employed so I can manage flare-ups without a boss firing me, but money is tight.

After COVID, things got worse financially. Then out of no where, a family friend (“uncle”), a multimillionaire, told me he made me the sole beneficiary of his will & started sending me $1,500/month for a few years now because he didn’t want to see me struggle any more. He said those payments were for the rest of his life.

Then in February, he got angry my son chose a college on Florida’s east coast instead of near Tampa where he lives, & because my son didn’t want to go into the trades, & because I wouldn’t become a nurse. I explained that wasn’t realistic with my health. He called me lazy, said he was enabling me, & said payments would stop in July.

With my lease ending in June, I rushed to apply for disability (it’s 6–12+ months to process). 2 weeks later, he reversed course & said he’d keep helping.

Now this week, he changed his mind again. He said payments will stop in July because I dated a Black man last year & my son won’t join the military (both new issues to me).

I called him, explained my disability situation, & asked him to remove me from his will & give that money to veterans charity if he could just continue helping short-term so I don’t become homeless while waiting on disability. He agreed.

Today, he texted that after “speaking with his wife & attorney,”so payments will still stop in July.

I understand it’s his money, but the constant reversals, insults, racial comments, & lack of notice have been overwhelming.

AITA for thinking he should have handled this better (consistent decision, reasonable notice, basic respect)?
