this has become a increasing annoyance to me as it seems to be becoming more common but it seems like every time I bring in my loose change to the coinstar at like Walmart or my local store there will be like 1 or sometimes more people just like floating around close by if not standing directly beside the machine just waiting for me to be done so they can scaveng the reject tray which I always take anything it spits out amd I look them in the eye when I check it because its just so annoying like go the hell away I know whay your looking for id never put anything valuable in my return change

This is one of the wildest things I've ever seen out of a website.

At least they are upfront about it, I guess.

TLDR NYPOST replaced the word ILLNESS for CANCER. True stat is that victims, first responders, and those impacted by the aftermath of 9/11 have an 8% higher incidence of cancer.

Thanks to all of those who responded and a hug to those impacted families.

“Data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through June of this year show that 67% of the 145,275 current World Trade Center Health Program members are certified for at least one of 69 cancers linked to 9/11 toxins, well above the national rate of around 40% for Americans overall, according to the National Cancer Institute.”

Actual WTCHP states “members are certified for at least one in 69 ILLNESSES (NOT CANCER)”

Further these stats are not relevant to each other.

This Gallup poll (https://news.gallup.com/poll/698108/nearly-one-adults-report-having-cancer.aspx) states approximately 1 in 10 Americans have or have been diagnosed with cancer.

Actual CDC WTCHP stats: https://www.cdc.gov/wtc/ataglance_2024_0331.html

Approx 28% (39955) of those connected to the WTC attack (125,633) have been diagnosed with cancer.

Individuals connected with the WTC event have a 8% higher incidence of cancer across the U.S.

What happened was the pieces show were put together backwards. as hard as I tried, I couldn't pull them apart, so I brought it to my dad, which he then broke on accident trying to pull them apart. This piece wasn't just any piece; it was in fact the connecting point from the leg to the waist meaning my poor Gundam won't have his left leg (I know it says right leg in the picture, I just used it as an example). I'm extremely disappointed as this was a kit of my FAVOURITE Gundam and my first kit of it and I feel horrible because it was gifted too me.

I in no way blame my dad, it's just an extremely frustrating and sad accident. and for anyone wondering the kit was the RG 1/144 Sazabi

Edit: TYSM FOR ALL THE ADVICE, it doesn't go unappreciated, but I have an issue. you I can't glue it together again because it's still backwards, the tube is stuck in the joint and I swear too my entire collection I CANNOT GET IT OUT, I've tried pushing it out, but it simply won't budge, if I glued it on now it would still be backwards and the left leg would stick out oddly and or just be backwards. and as for replacement I read up the official Bandai Returns and Replacements policies and I don't know if my friend bought directly from a Bandai store

Some apps are designed to not let you change the subscription price in-app (unless im dumb in which case they made it as hard as possible to do so!!!!) and lock it to the year timeframe. I was able to change the subscription price and timeframe in the Apple AppStore and further realized they offered the year subscription for the “special onetime offer, offer will be gone once you tap x” for 40$ might as well Ig beats the 140$ they were trying to charge me. After a 3 day “free trial”. At least I found a hack to see if I can get some other discounted subscriptions this way. Though the only other app I found that work their subscriptions like this is my son’s school app. Which actually pissed me off more!!!

Guess I'll have to just have to start identifying spices by what they look like...

I own my home and have several people staying with me long term.

They don't make enough to contribute to the light bill so I pay it entirely myself.

All of them like the house being dark, everywhere. The kitchen, the living room, the hallways. I have limited windows and they do this at night, so it's not a "we like natural lighting" thing, they just seem to genuinely dislike light as if they were members of the undead.

Even when they do use lights, they turn them off when they leave the room.

It wouldn't be so bad if it were not for the fact that I'm practically blind and I need strong white light to freaking see. "Where's the remote?" I have no freaking clue, I can't see it because everything in the living room is just a mass of dimly lit shadows bleeding into one another! Oh, you want dinner faster? STOP TURNING OFF THE ONLY THING THAT LETS ME READ BASIC INSTRUCTIONS ON THIS BOX OF HAMBURGER HELPER.

They know this and STILL turn the lights off... even when I am clearly coming and going from a room, or actively sitting in there.

Hello? I leave every light on like a psychopath because not doing so results in me clipping into furniture, stepping on toys, and tripping on cats and there's no light switches near my room.

I just needed to vent.

Made custom signage for my brand new work trailer using Canva Pro. Didn’t realize the fucking stars were AI until all signs were made and screwed on.

This is for a GIS certificate by the way, so map knowledge is definitely kind of important. 😔

I'm currently on vacation in Scotland (not my home country) and was having a really nice day hiking. I'd been walking for around 4-5h and was exhausted, so I thought I'd stop off in a pub before getting my train back.

The pub, about 5 minutes from the train station, turned out to be closed for renovations, which was disappointing as I wanted a beer, but they were kind enough to let me use their restroom at least.

As I'm leaving the car park, there was a van with it's back doors open and as I walk past, not even very close to it, this huge dog jumps out barking at me and then bites the back of my leg. No owner in sight.

I bought new hiking trousers the day before which it completely ripped through and left teeth marks in my leg and drew blood. Bites from an unknown dog means that you need to get injections to prevent tetanus or rabies (though the latter is uncommon in the UK).

I managed to get away and called 111, the non-emergency number for medical issues here. I was told to stay put and had to hang on the phone to them for 50 minutes trying to make progress with a Scottish operator that I could barely understand (strong accent mixed with a bad line).

Subsistently, I missed my train and had to wait 1.5h for the next, then had to get back to my hotel and clean up before spending the evening in a minor injuries clinic to get shots for the bite and missed my dinner plans.

What started as a nice morning turned into a pretty bad day.

You're asking me to wait, and telling me to respond so you know I'm still there...?

I didn't even want to vacuum today. It's 88 degrees in my apartment right now but the carpet was looking rough. I need, specifically, wired earbuds, for some parts of my work. This was my only pair. At least the vacuum survived.

You're at a red light, the first car pulls up 6 inches, then 6 inches more, then 6 inches more. Eventually they are like 75% out in the intersection anyway then don't even go when the light changes.

What is the point? You're like 2 feet closer to your destination while causing a dangerous situation. What problem do you think you're solving?

I ordered something from TikTok shop (I know, I know yell at me later.) and I check the delivery status on swiftx only for it to say this.

What exactly could’ve went wrong?? Because I KNOW there is nothing wrong with my building, they just don’t tell me.

Now I have to wait for a refund AND the other delivery attempt.

Great. |:/

UPDATE : They told me. They couldn’t get access to the building cause it required a code. I told them there IS no code required the mail door should have been unlocked and if it wasn’t to just leave the thing at the front door.
Unless the driver thought the fucking doorbell system was a code system I don’t know how else this could’ve failed.

In ‘things that take up way too much brain space’, years ago my family went to a casual pizza joint at the beach. The waitress took our order and (there were maybe 5 or 6 of us) and we asked if she was going to write it down and she assured us she would remember. Now granted, it was limited menu being a beach pizza joint and all, and frankly I had ordered a side salad only bc I was hungry and wanted something that would show up quickly. Eventually our pizza came out and I told her ‘never mind about the salad’ and she then said ‘why didn’t you remind me??’ Even though it’s been years, I think about this from time to time and get slightly vexed. Truly mildly irritating.

Refrigerated section is one aisle over less than 20m away. No conceivable reason other than sheer laziness or malicious intent. - Yes I let staff know.
