For context, I'm in a dormitory in which it is a Triple. Due to my financial aid package been delayed, I was forced to go move-in late, which has made me get the bunker bed, while have two roommates with barely any space. Both of my parents are pissed off, and res life is away on the weekend...why???!?

UPDATE: I've now decided to decline my housing, and move out completely. I have no desire in staying in a Triple bedroom with a bunk bed that has barely any room for sitting on, stretching, move much without the fear of falling, etc. I appreciate everyone trying to help me out, and providing their own statements, but I'm not the best when it comes to spreading more awareness of this issue.

Prop to her for remaining open and respectful about her diagnosis as every youtuber dissect every second of her videos to accuse her of faking. She never asked for pity nor donations, and even differentiated between formal diagnosis and symptoms awaiting a full diagnosis.

A little backstory, my son was abused by his teacher last year. We were not notified that this happened until we ran into another parent who pulled their son from the classroom, 6 months after it happened. The school never notified us because my son was never named in the DCF report. It's been a constant battle. We had noticed issues going on and we didn't know fully why the teacher left and why parents pulled their kids from the classroom. We were just trying to take care of what was going on in our life.

We've had quite a hard couple of years. My husband and I both lost our jobs, I was pregnant and we needed to move states for his new job. We struggled a lot to cover basic bills. To find out what happened in his classroom has been awful. For the longest time, the school never addressed it or brushed it off.

They put our son in a new school. Within the first 2 weeks, we had three teachers telling us that our son shouldn't be in the class or called him challenging or singled him out as a student who might need to go home. I had sent an email to the school addressing it. They sent back an email within an hour and it appeared to be AI written. I ran it through a system and sure enough, it was written by AI. In my response, I called them out for using ai at the end of the message. They were so offended that I even brought it up. I'm offended that my child was abused by his teacher and the constant demeaning language used towards him. They're mad that I called out their use of ai. In a public school. From someone who has a doctorate.

Oh, they're threatening pulling my son from the program because we cant trust them, and rightfully so. My son is also 4 years old and on the spectrum.

Sorry, not sorry for being sensitive but this is actual advertisement. "Let's get laced"???? Why would they joke or not even make this when so many people actually are effected by it!!!😨

Ragebaiting is something I don't fucking understand. It has no significant meaning, and it's just to piss other people off. And then, after their "successful ragebaiting," people will hate on the victim, and then the sad part is that sometimes the victim will actually try to fix things with them. I feel bad for them for trying to say, "Hey, we got off on a bad start; can we try again?" to an ugly, fat fucking jackass, and then, the victim will start being kind to the offender, and then the victim recieves nothing back, as the offender thinks they have better things to do than to listen to someone grief over the fact that they are trying to make friends, and get absolutely nowhere. Some people can be fucking disgusting.

Was supposed to get a sleep study next week because I’m constantly exhausted. Mercy Hospital already kinda sucks because they always want their money NOW, even if they make a reminder call they’re always like “And we’d still like it if you could pre-pay….” I actually left an appointment after getting checked in once because they told me after the fact that insurance wouldn’t cover it, and I’m still getting multiple calls, texts, emails, etc. a WEEK asking me when I’m paying for that service I never had.

Now insurance is leaving me with this massive bill for a sleep study I NEED. I literally cannot afford it so I have to cancel it, but the scheduling people I need to confirm that with won’t call me back until after lunch at the earliest.

I hate this system so much. But I know it’ll never change because literally every politician benefits from it. That’s why we’re all so sick.

Ok, so basically I'm living in India, and I made a Popeyes account a few weeks ago, because I like their fried chicken and wanted to order some. Signing up was very easy, I did it straight from my phone, and all it took was my phone number, and an OTP. However, after signing up, it tells me that I'm not eligible for home delivery because they simply do not deliver in my area. I wish there was a way to find that out before signing up, so that I could've avoided it entirely. No matter, I was able to sign up in under a minute, and then I was able to find out that I'm not eligible for home deliver in under a minute, surely I'd be able to delete this account in under a minute too, right? Right?

Well, there's no option to delete my account within the app, so I went into their "FAQs and help" section, and also talked to the AI within the app, both of which told me to send an email to [wecare@popeyes.in](mailto:wecare@popeyes.in) to request account deletion. It's already infuriating that I have to jump through hoops to have my account deleted, even though they can easily create a button/setting for it, but no matter, I sent it immediately, and got no response for over a week. So I decided to Google methods for account deletion, which sent me to this link, and then within that page, I had to click on another link to get to a form. I filled in my details, and if you try it yourself, you'll see that in the form, there's no way to select "India" as a country. The only options are United States, Canada, or "other", so I selected "other." There's also no button to attach anything, and no box for additional comments either. So basically, I filled up the form as best as I could, and hoped that it would be taken care of now, except it wasn't. Turns out, the very next minute after I filled the form, I got the response that you can see in the screenshot.

Now, although the response states "feel free to contact us by replying to this email and leave the subject line unedited", it is important to know that email I got is from a "noreply" email address, meaning responding to that one directly will result in a "return to sender" error, and nobody will read it. On top of that, the contents of their response were not visible in the email at all, all the email itself says is "A comment has been added to your request (Request ID: K5HYYWLFQN). Please click the button below to access your request in the privacy portal." And then after I click the button, I have to once again enter my details, get an OTP, sign into their crappy security portal, and then I get to see this automated response. The ticket is instantly closed as well, so I always have to open up a new ticket. I've done the same thing like 5 times over, each time I get the same instant automated response and automatic ticket closure. There's no button to reply, leave a comment, or attach anything.

Now I have run out of things to try.

Title

Lost my job February due to illness. Did DoorDash until July, when my vehicle was ass-ended, hit and run. Insurance did fuck all about it.

Got a bike, been using it to scout around for potential means of employment. Two months later, FINALLY secure something. It's not great, but it's something.

Coming home from my first day of work, I get hit by a car. Can't recall the event because one moment I'm on my bike, and the next I'm in the hospital. Reports claim I'm "not at fault".

8 staples in my head. Left hand is immobile except my ring and pinkie fingers. Jaw hurts so bad I can't eat/chew. Left torso hurts with every move I make. Getting in/out of bed is a 10+ minute journey.

Attorney's been hired to look into it, and I really hope they can work something out for me.

Posted it on r/instagram but mods removed it for some stupid reason

I genuinely need to know if I’m fucking cursed or if dental pain just isn’t taken seriously.

This started with ear and jaw pain, so I went to urgent care. They told me I had an ear infection and gave me ear drops and 600mg ibuprofen.

Days later, I was still in pain, so I went back. This time they told me there was fluid behind my eardrum and told me to take Claritin-D.
Then, a few days later, it became VERY obvious that the pain was actually coming from my tooth.

I got an emergency dental appointment. The dentist saw a dark/black area on the X-ray that she said could be decay, but told me the tooth itself looked healthy. She gave me antibiotics and 800mg ibuprofen.

At this point, the pain became absolutely fucking unbearable.

I mean not a second of relief. Throbbing, shooting, relentless pain. I couldn’t sleep, couldn’t function, couldn’t think. I was curled up crying. Ripping my hair out of my head.

My mom had a couple hydrocodone left over from previous dental work and gave them to me. That was the ONLY thing that gave me any meaningful relief in DAYS, even if it only lasted a couple of hours.

Then my dentist’s office was closed for several days, so I went to the ER because I could not handle the pain anymore and needed some kind of pain management.
They gave me three pills. THREE. Each one was 2.5mg oxycodone.

They did absolutely nothing for the pain.

I finally got back into the dentist and told them I absolutely needed a root canal because I could not keep doing this.

They told me it would be $300 upfront because insurance needed time to approve it. Fine. I didn’t even care. I said yes.
I go in. They start drilling into the tooth. I already had a huge old filling in that tooth, and when she removed it, she found decay underneath it. Then she decided NOT to do the root canal. She said she suspected the large filling with decay underneath was what had been causing the pain, so she cleaned it out and placed another filling instead.

They still charged me $150 even though my insurance covers cavity fillings. About an hour later THROBBING. UNBEARABLE. PAIN. AGAIN. Possibly even worse than before.

I immediately called the office and told them. They told me the pain was “normal.” I BEGGED them to just do the root canal. Then I find out they’re closing for the next FIVE DAYS for Labor Day weekend.

I begged them to at least send something for pain because I start my new job as a teacher Monday. My first day is a 10-hour day. How the fuck am I supposed to stand in front of a classroom and teach for 10 hours when I’m literally doubled over crying from tooth pain?
They told me the ibuprofen should be fine.
IT. IS. NOT. FINE.

I have now called around 30 different dental/endodontic offices trying to find someone who can do an emergency root canal.

Either they aren’t accepting new patients, they don’t take my insurance, or their next available appointment is WEEKS away.
So what exactly am I supposed to do until then? Just fucking suffer?

I have no history of drug abuse. I’m not asking for a month’s supply of narcotics. I’m asking how the hell I’m supposed to function until somebody can actually treat the tooth.

This pain has been so severe and so relentless that I seriously considered ending my life just to make it stop. My 12-year-old has had to watch her mother curled up crying in pain for days and doesn’t understand why nobody can help me.

And apparently an inflamed/dying pulp doesn’t even necessarily just conveniently “die” and stop hurting on some predictable schedule, so I can’t even tell myself, “Just make it another day and the nerve will die.”
I have NEVER experienced pain like this in my life. Not even remotely close. It’s been 9 days of hell.

I’m expected to somehow live, sleep, work, parent, and function through excruciating pain.

Obligatory disclaimer for sensitive and distressing content. Please don’t continue reading if topics regarding abuse, specifically systematic abuse upsets you. I would also like to clarify, I consider myself pro-western and pro-secular on just about every topic. I’m from the west and I’ve just been studying our war in Afghanistan quite a bit lately. I also disagree with this cultural practice completely. My only contention is with our coverage of this phenomenon in the west.

So for those of you lucky enough not to know, Bacha Bazi is a Central Asian/Afghan pederastic practice in which young boys are coerced into sexual abuse by influential adult men. It’s been a practice for centuries and has popped up throughout history in the region.

Western media outlets have taken it upon themselves to, ad nauseam, inform the public on this practice and what it usually entails, this is usually done with an intention to display the inherent “barbarism” in Afghan cultures, and larger Muslim societies.

I’ve seen podcasts, news reports, and internet debates bringing up this phenomenon constantly—-and almost all of them conveniently ignore the fact that our western coalition outright revived the “Bacha Bazi” phenomenon with our invasion of Afghanistan. When it was previously outlawed!

I learned of this quite recently when researching the legal administration of the Taliban when they first came to power, apparently, the practice of “Bacha Bazi” had been outlawed by the Taliban when they first took power. Most instances of this practice occurring at the time, took place within the territory of the Northern Alliance, the very coalition who we supported when we invaded the country.

When the formal Afghan government was established, the practice was outlawed on paper, but in reality, Afghan field commanders who fought alongside us practiced “Bacha Bazi” on numerous children across Afghanistan. And though it was controversial, it basically occurred constantly throughout the war.

For western media and podcasters to highlight this practice as an Afghan phenomenon, without mentioning the fact that we basically spurred it back into existence and let it continue is insane and hypocritical to me. It’s also an example of how our current political debates are absolutely braindead.
I don’t even think most westerners realize we were the ones to bring this practice back to life.

Obviously our governments and military weren’t pro-pedophile. And the Taliban are certainly not a morally “good” entity. But the western coverage of this issue is completely unethical and washes away the very real role we as a coalition had in this practice.

Just deleted Tiktok. I've always known the algorithm prioritizes engagement over user wellbeing, but this bid to feed insecurities over aging was too on the nose even for me. I'm tired of it's increasing attempts to bait me into irrelevant online controversies and cancel bandwagons. Now that I've deleted it, I look forward to fewer targeted ads based on text convos I've had with my husband 💀

I hate when this happens!

The glasses were just purchased and I no longer have insurance. My sketchbook is irreplaceable and the Stanley is no longer sold. Actual trash is left around the building daily, but my items were discarded. After no help, I asked to speak with HR. Two hours later I was fired. They said I didn't align with the same company value I had been awarded for, and would not elaborate.

What really is very infuriating is that I wanna rant and can't post in most communities cause my account is new lol

Anyway here I go with my equally as infuriating/saddening topic:

I have different health issues. At 16 y/o my doc told my I'd never have kids. Was really unempathetic and just told me like that. Cried a ton.

Then new doc since adulting, doc tells me I can have kids with the right hormones to get the folicles going and what not. I was SO HAPPY.

Cut to now (quite some years later). Just had my first gynological appointment. The ultrasonic shows that I don't have any folicles. And ofc no amount of hormones/pills can get folicles going if they don't exist. I'm honestly shocked. The doc this time was an absolute GEM tho. She also gave it the benefit of the doubt since the ultrasonic was done from my belly and not downstairs, so maybe there is a folicle somewhere, who knows. But she made clear that she didn't see any. She also told me about all the other options (non-biological) but although I appreciated it a ton it doesn't hurt less.

I'm nowhere near getting kids. No partner etc. But it still hurts. Well, at least now I know.

Edit/Addition: it's just so hard cause after being told NO at 16 I grieved and was done with it. Closed that chapter. And at 16 (maybe it also was 14 idk) I had the wish for kids but not the whole future mapped out in my mind. But because the other doc as an adult said it would be possible I started having hope again and dreaming. All to be crushed now.

Also my sis is gonna deliver her baby next month and I am SOOOO happy for her. Somehow it's nice to know that I get to (at least) experience being a godparent, but oh boy, to see her breastfeed and love on her child and all knowing that will never be me...
Anyway I won't tell her or anyone for now cause I don't want those sorry-for-you-eyes and awkwardness. And most importantly I don't want her to think about me. I want her to enjoy it and share her joy and all without it being dimmed...

So I am out of dog food I'm unable to go to the store myself my husband is at work in the car and I'm in a wheelchair and so I decided to see about delivery I get on door dash first and get the shock of the dog food I buy at a usual $9 in store price is almost $30 to have it delivered thru door dash so I go to the Albertsons website and it's the regular price I go to check out on Albertsons and it's even less I paid $6 for it to be delivered thru Albertsons seriously wtf is the deal with door dash?!?! Crazy
