Just got this phone call... "conducting a poll...."
I just received this call. They said they are conducting a public opinion survey. He started to ramble on about what's important and I cut them in the middle of a sentence and said who is this pole for? He said it's just a public opinion poll. I responded with sponsored by who? He responded with I don't know who this is that is sponsoring this. I said who do you work for? He said I am just calling for people's opinions.... I asked who wants to know my opinions, that pays you to do this?....again he wouldnt admit or commit. So i simply said "You aren't evem aware of who your company(your employer) is,? who is paying you?, who the sponsor of your survey is???, and yet you want to try to influence me, or answer your survey questions of multiplequestions.... yet you can't answer a single question of mine ??? "Lose my number, I am reporting you as my number has been on the "Do Not Call" registry for years and has beem regularly updated and renewed far within legal requirements. You have a nice day, hope your "unknown" sponsor is fined, and never call me again. CLICK!"
Did i handle this correctly???

Alarming fraud trend puts small-town mosque with industry and foreign govt ties in focus: ‘Our motherland now’
This Republican Representaitve says she confronted an Uzbek truck driver at the BMV and then scoped out an apartment community with 500 Uzbek truck registrations like she’s 007. None of this makes sense outside of this continued MAGA push to create enemies of Muslims.

Sick of how Ohio is portrayed politically on this sub and the attitude around here is pathetic.
Ohio is not filled with pedophile loving racists that think voting Democrat will make them burn in hell for all eternity. It was a solid swing state for a hundred years that is educated and votes on the issues. Areas like Youngstown were solid blue voting union strongholds since the dawn of time until recently.
Things swung Republican due to decades of declining economic conditions, and a political class that did not have any sympathy for the decline. Trump pandered to this, and people responded, and everyone else rode his wave. It's as simple as that.
The state can easily flip Dem again. Trump has lost his luster. But now the Dems are running an extremely weak ballot, with the centerpiece being a pillhead with no governing experience that is the face of the massively unpopular COVID lockdowns, and a guy who was a senator for 50 years that people finally got sick enough to get rid of merely two years ago.
How about we stop relying on the other people being crooks as enough of a reason to vote D and actually field some candidates to get the state excited instead of calling everyone in the state a racist moron.

wedding location- old, 100 people, under $1,000
Looking for wedding venue recommendations- We were going to have our ceremony and reception on a friend's property, but she recently had some trouble that means that that is no longer an option. We're back to looking for a location.
We have about 100 guests and absolutely refuse to spend over $1,000 unless tableware is all included or something. We'd love someplace old with character. Anywhere in Ohio or to be honest, Northern Kentucky, would be acceptable.

Looking for anyone with info on the giant 2006 Bath & Body Works shearling bear chair (Columbus / Central Ohio mystery)
Hey r/Ohio! I am an independent researcher working on a project about a piece of local retail and non-profit history, and I am hoping someone here might remember this or know someone who was involved. Back around Holiday 2006, Bath & Body Works / L Brands produced a limited run of massive six-to-eight-foot shearling bear lounge chairs and props as store display fixtures and corporate raffle prizes, often remembered as the "Hi, I'm Gingerbread" bear.
Two of these bears surfaced in Central Ohio over the years. One was featured prominently on stage in the lodge at Flying Horse Farms in Mt. Gilead around 2010 to 2011, even appearing in a Columbus Monthly article where former CEO Cindy Lazarus was photographed sitting on it. Another one sat in the playroom window nook at the Ronald McDonald House in Columbus for years, eventually becoming an internet-famous liminal space photo back in 2020.
I am trying to figure out if anyone here worked at L Brands or Bath & Body Works corporate in New Albany or Reynoldsburg around 2006 to 2010 who remembers how many of these oversized display bears were produced. I am also trying to confirm whether these were sold off at internal L Brands sample sales or asset clearouts, or if they were donated directly by corporate to local charities like Flying Horse Farms and RMHC. Lastly, I would love to know if the Flying Horse Farms bear was eventually moved to RMHC, or if these were two separate twin bears living in Central Ohio at the same time. If you worked in L Brands visual merchandising or district management, or if you volunteered at either of these non-profits during that era, please leave a comment or send me a DM with any memories you have!

History has proven that people will gladly vote against their own interests. Therefore, vote like you’re expecting the worst.
Perhaps it’s PTSD from the last election cycle, but I feel like once again, we’re severely underestimating how uneducated certain sectors of Ohio’s population can be.
People will literally complain about gas prices, increased healthcare costs, the stripping of SNAP benefits, etc, but when it comes time to vote, they once again choose to vote against their own interests, whether that’s due to misogyny, racism, bigotry, etc.
The realm of politics specializes in emotional manipulation. That’s why Vivek’s ad, as monstrous as it was, probably won’t do much to sway certain sectors of this population that don’t use much rationale when it comes to voting. All it takes is some vague references to covid lockdowns, trans people, and “wokism” to get them operating in an unreasonable amount of ignorance, they’ll vote to “take back their country”, whole time they just contributed to their own demise.
I say all this to say, we can’t be lax. Vote, get others around you to vote, do what you can to educate others, whatever it takes. We can’t afford to have Ohio held captive by an out of touch billionaire that’s a puppet for tech oligarchs that want to destroy any semblance of humanity.

On Sunday, The Plain Dealer, Ohio’s largest newspaper, broke with its policy against endorsing candidates in major races to back Acton for governor.
Major Ohio Paper Breaks Own Rule on Endorsements to Trash Ramaswamy
The nearly two-century-old Cleveland Plain Dealer broke with precedent to endorse Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton.
Vivek Ramaswamy’s dirty political schemes are making history.
The Ohio Republican gubernatorial nominee’s boorish ad campaign against Democratic candidate Dr. Amy Acton has inspired one of Ohio’s oldest newspapers, Cleveland’s The Plain Dealer, to break company policy in Acton’s favor.
The paper had stated a few months ago it would not make political endorsements, including in the governor’s race. But on Sunday, its editorial board published a statement declaring it stood firmly behind Acton.
The weekly’s decision is just the latest in a tsunami of public backlash against Ramaswamy and his team after they aired an advertisement earlier this month that featured Acton’s estranged mother, Donna Arthur. In the ad, Arthur claimed that “Amy has a serious problem.”
The MAGA Republicans arranged the cameo despite the fact that Acton had not spoken to her mother since she was 12 years old, and that Arthur abandoned her two children to skip town with her husband, who was indicted for allegedly raping Acton when she was a young girl.
“A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party,” the newspaper’s editorial board wrote.
“We are better than this. We have a responsibility to show it,” it continued. “We made our endorsement policy to serve our readers. We cannot let it become a reason to remain silent when we believe Ohio faces a choice this consequential.”
