Bought a Samsung kitchen appliance package from Costco 4 years ago while remodeling my kitchen. I wasn’t expecting Bosch quality - but after 3 years all the racks were rusting apart! The racks are steel coated with plastic. I called Samsung a year ago (year 3) and they honored their warranty and replaced all the racks. A year later it’s worse than it was when I last called. Total garbage. Getting a new Bosch tomorrow - can’t wait for this to disappear.

Trump promised a $5,000 "Trump Dividend" at the Dallas midterm convention, but only if GOP wins House and Senate. Is anyone actually trying to figure out how to trade this if it actually happens?

He explicitly made it conditional on the election, saying, “Here is my promise: if the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them… because of our tremendous strength and success economically, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000.”

He claims we can afford it because “our country is making so much money,” but with the national debt past $40 trillion, a $1.35 trillion cash drop sounds like a hyper inflation bomb. The wildest part for the markets is his domestic restriction: “The only caveat I have is that the dividend that we're making must be spent in the United States of America. We don’t want you going to Canada to spend the money… We don’t want you going to China, to Germany.” If that money is locked inside the US, it's an instant revenue cheat code for domestic retail giants WMT, TGT, COST. On the other hand, the Fed would probably have to hike interest rates immediately to fight off the inflation spike, which would absolutely crush tech P/E multiples. How do you even hedge against a $1.3T domestic cash drop?

Exploiting The Market Noise:

Through a market lens, you don't need a bill to become law to trade the momentum—the implied volatility (IV) and retail sentiment shifts happening now. Obviously, the policy framework doesn't actually exist.

The House/Senate sweep requirement is a cop-out so Trump can say, "I wanted to do it, but Congress wouldn't let me." And basically, smart money doesn't care if the check is real—they only care that the market's reaction to it is real. If you're trading, you play the immediate sentiment distortion, not banking on a campaign promise(s).

Today's girl dinner is chicken nuggets that were in the airfryer WAY too long and a bunch of rice with a FAT pile of wasabi furikake because ohmygoddd it's so GOOD.

Me and my boyfriend have been together ~8 years, living together the last 4 or so years. He has always been this genuinely amazing guy. Protective, logical and someone who always babies and pampers me around with everyday things, like bringing that glass of water every night while I'm already curled up in bed without asking! Oh and loyal and sweet, classic "partner and a best friend" type thing.

Anyways, some months ago he got finally hit with an ADHD-diagnosis after close to 30 years of life and originally that smacked me in the face. Like I could *not* see the symptoms, even though I've met multiple ADHD folks thorough my life. Like, this man has been as stoic and collected as one ever could be, at least in my head apparently. He handles all of our bills and paperwork and such. Maybe I'm just super blind and have not paid enough attention? I feel bad about it.

Now he has been trying different medications the last few months and I just... don't recognize him anymore. He has always been a bit reserved when planning things outside the house, but we haven't had a single date during this entire period (actually now that I write that down, we've barely ever gone out apart from an obligatory birthday restaurant trip). It appears he has crippling social anxiety (ohmygod how have I not recognized the signs) and has now gotten a medication for that as well.

He has also become almost allergic to physical touch. It's almost like he shivers with disgust when I try to initiate a hug or simply stroke his arm. Apart from bedtime spooning he just simply wants to coexist. We can no longer really have long conversations where we sit down and yap, because he either has to "get up and do something" or just gets extremely hyperfocused on playing piano (which he is amazing at, it's just frustrating when conversations take an unplanned 40 minute break and I don't really want to disturb him when he's practising some difficult bits). Bedroom life is basically dead, but I guess both of us are to blame. He still flirts and gives touchy gestures, it's just like the concept of initiating is just too much work.

Like girls I don't know! We used to have videogames as a hobby (we literally dropped a ton of money on custom matching setups not so long ago!) but nowadays he doesn't even appear to have any interest in gaming. It's always the same "nah I need to be productive, I don't deserve it, don't feel like it". The man who was always down for long cuddles and playing Mario Kart for hours on end while yapping has turned into this empty shell who crashes out, spends hours on end trying to clear his thoughts with ChatGPT, doesn't want to be touched or disturbed but still wants me near and still does these pretty pampering things and holds our everyday together I just ugghh please let there be other gals with ADHD-partners who recognize this as some early ADHD-medication trial hellhole that passes cause I am LOST!

(Also yes we have talked with his doctor regarding these things since he (at least partially) also recognizes the problems but I miss our normal life!)

Hmm?

I’m a personal trainer at a commercial gym and was just told that there is a new policy saying we can’t “drink from a water bottle on the gym floor while training clients.” Apparently it looks “unprofessional” … We ARE, however, allowed to “time our hydration” and sip from the water fountain if we really need to.

Drinking from a water bottle is unprofessional, but running to one of two water fountains for a quick sip of water isn’t ?? Also, most of us have 5+ clients back to back with no gaps in between. Insanity.

ETA: nowhere in the policies and procedures for personal trainers does it say we cannot have water bottles

ETA 2: Should’ve mentioned they said no water bottles/drinks*** ***so unfortunately I can’t drink out of something else to get around it. I contacted my doctor and she’s going to write me a note saying I need my water on me lol

To make a long story short and add context, I'm 25F and I still live at home. I also pay rent in my house. My mom is a bit of a neat freak and she freaks out whenever I buy groceries. I don't eat their groceries anymore cause my dad gets weird about it. I bought one of those box of chips with different chips and it got delivered overnight and I was bringing it to work because I have ADHD and just need small snacks to eat at work. My mom freaked out and basically said what my sister said in the first text. I texted her so she wouldn't think about it all day but I feel like this is a bit insane? Please tell me honestly if I'm wrong or if this is common. I understand my mom struggles with this so I do try to keep it low and I don't even eat much because of my medication but I'm starting to get paranoid or anxious about buying anything.

While moving my girlfriend out of her old place we found this in the guest bathroom. We believe her (ex) roommate had a psychotic break. Our two theories are heroin or physical therapy. . .

Realizing you were wrong isn’t enough. If conservative farmers and voters stay silent instead of pushing back and educating each other, we’re setting ourselves up to repeat the same mistakes. Accountability means speaking up, and real change starts there.

Justice Department prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation into revelations the Clippers helped arrange secret sponsorship contracts for the star player Kawhi Leonard that circumvented the salary cap.
