Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:

And here’s the Android version (finally live):

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.

I really can’t stand AI flyers however, I had to formulate something quick for ease this evening.

I’m currently seeking career placement and am available ASAP. I’m looking for an opportunity where my skills can be valued, developed, and put to meaningful use.
I have not completed my education degree, however I bring 10 years of early education experience, 6 years of customer service, strong leadership and communication skills, and a genuine passion for supporting children, families, and people of all ages.
I’m empathetic, inclusive, organized, detail-oriented, and a quick learner. I believe everyone deserves to feel respected, supported, and valued.
If you know of an opening where my experience and strengths could be a great fit, I would truly appreciate the connection.
Thank you to everyone who reads, shares, or keeps me in mind. ❤️

On my way to work, I found a stray cat who had been hit by a car. Her leg is badly wounded, her rear end was a little bloody, and she is dragging her lower half. I’ve got her at work (doctor’s office) where the doctor has given her antibiotics while I call vets in the area, but none so far will see her without some sort of payment that I do not have the money for. Is there any local nonprofit organization or some other place I could take her that would treat her and maybe find her a home?

⚠️JESSE'S PLACE RESCUE⚠️ ‼️BEWARE‼️ (Lake Wylie, SC)

Dorsey Patrick, the owner of this rescue, is a racist and horrible person. She called a woman “black trash” and stated, “I think you know what YOUR people call that.” All because the woman wanted to get the vaccines herself for those puppies. (screenshots proving this) You are a 70-year-old white woman who is clearly fucking bitter and mad about how your life has turned out. What is sad is that the only people defending you are other older white women. That woman reached out to you because that’s what other fosters do! Yet, you treated her so poorly for what????

Another woman that she treated with disrespect, completely unprofessional, and poorly. A woman tried to get her dog back and offered to pay the $450 adoption fee, but Dorset denied it because she didn’t spay or chip her baby. MANY people wait until their dog is fully grown to spay/neuter them. Many people get their dogs chipped during the spaying and neutering process, which isn’t abnormal. Dorsey also JUDGED the food she fed her dog, knowing that she damn near NEVER provides food for your fosters! Many rescues prefer to reunite dogs with their owners; regardless of the situation, Dorsey do the right thing and stop judging things you don't truly know. Including the fact that the woman posted screenshots proving she sent Dorsey adoption papers, yet she lied, saying the woman didn’t have proof of ownership. There are PLENTY of dogs out there with no owner, in need of a home!

Lastly, Dorsey treated the woman with the two beautiful dogs so poorly, very unprofessionally and downright disgustingly! Again, there are screenshots PROVING this! The way Dorsey treats her fosters and doesn’t truly help them is baffling! It's just horrible; many people are posting about their experiences, and it is sickening how Dorsey treats people.

Dorsey is not a good owner; all the comments on the BBB page reviews express that, and how she responded to each review shows her true colors—calling people idiots when she is clearly deranged.

Please check out the BBB page and look at those comments. People have come telling their stories in the Facebook comments explaining how she has been like this for YEARS. She should not still be in business. She has taken down her reviews on Facebook, posted lies, threatened many people for posting their experiences, and continues to treat her fosters with disrespect and harassment.

(All screenshots are still up on Facebook)
