My Lyft driver apparently reported that I damaged his car on my way from Atlanta Airport at 8AM on a Sunday. That cost me $75, on a $75 ride.

Lyft policy apparently says that if the driver reports any damage within a certain timeframe, the only way to contest it will be with your own photos showing prior damage or no damage.

For the life of me, I can't see "damage" that I've not seen in every Lyft or Uber I've ever taken.

Never taking a lyfrt again.

Was making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich a few days ago, and was trying to open up a brand new jar of crunchy peanut butter... only for this shit to happen... fuck my life smh, I'm just very angry by this happening, it always fucking happens to me!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

I genuinely don’t know whether to laugh, cry or scream at this point.

My LinkedIn account was hacked LAST YEAR, and dealing with LinkedIn support ever since has been one of the most frustrating experiences I’ve ever had.

For context, LinkedIn is extremely important to my livelihood. Most of my clients for my own freelance work comes through this platform. I have over 7,000 connections, yet since the hacking incident, my posts barely get 50 views. I’ve repeatedly asked whether something is wrong with my account but nobody seems interested in investigating.

And here’s the best part: THE HACKER’S EMAIL ADDRESS IS STILL VISIBLE IN MY LINKEDIN ADMIN CENTER. A YEAR LATER.

I’ve complained about this multiple times.
On October 22, after I once again submitted a detailed complaint explaining everything, LinkedIn support responded by asking me to verify my identity using government-issued identification.

The problem? I HAD ALREADY VERIFIED MY IDENTITY BEFORE.

So I asked some pretty straightforward questions. Why wasn’t my previous verification sufficient? Was my account flagged for additional security concerns? Why did I need to submit sensitive identification documents again?

You’d think these would be reasonable questions after having your account compromised.

Apparently not.

Instead of answering even ONE of them LinkedIn simply told me to verify my identity again. I wasn’t refusing! I just wanted someone to explain WHY! Eventually I gave up asking and completed the verification.

On October 24, LinkedIn informed me that my identity was verified and the restriction on my account had been removed.

Great, right?

WRONG.

The hacker’s email address was STILL showing in my LinkedIn Admin Center, right next to my name under purchases.

So, completely exhausted at this point, I replied explaining that THE ISSUE WAS STILL NOT RESOLVED and attached yet another screenshot showing exactly what I meant.

I literally wrote, “Please find the attached image.”
I couldn’t have made it clearer if I tried.

And then came October 25.
Instead of investigating the screenshot, explaining why the hacker’s email was still there, or acknowledging ANYTHING I had just said, LinkedIn support replied to inform me that…

MY PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION HAD BEEN SUCCESSFULLY CANCELLED.

I BEG YOUR FINEST PARDON?!

WHEN DID I ASK YOU TO CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION?!
I was asking you to fix my hacked account! I sent you evidence that something was still wrong! I asked you to investigate!

AND YOUR SOLUTION WAS TO CANCEL THE SUBSCRIPTION I PAY FOR?!

To make it even more ridiculous I purchased Premium through Apple. I never asked anyone to cancel it.

I genuinely cannot understand how someone could read a message about an unresolved security issue, complete with photographic evidence and somehow decide that cancelling my subscription was the appropriate next step.

Meanwhile, my account’s visibility is still practically nonexistent, my concerns about possible remaining restrictions have gone unanswered and the hacker’s email address is still sitting there.

And honestly, the most exhausting part is having to repeat myself constantly. I work approximately 90 hours a week across two jobs. I cannot spend every spare minute chasing support representatives, only to have tickets closed before I get a chance to respond and then be forced to explain everything all over again.

I have sent screenshots, explained the situation, followed instructions, verified my identity and asked the same questions over and over.

HOW MANY TIMES DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO EXPLAIN THE SAME THING BEFORE A COMPANY ACTUALLY READS WHAT THEY’RE SAYING?!

I am literally not asking for special treatment. I am asking for someone to investigate an account that was compromised and explain why the problems haven’t been resolved.

And instead, I’m now dealing with an unexpectedly cancelled paid subscription on top of everything else.
I genuinely feel like I’m losing my mind dealing with this.

Also I am sorry if I sound like a complete Karen here. 😂 I am really not trying to be one. I’m just exhausted. LinkedIn isn’t just some random social media account to me. My clients, business opportunities and professional livelihood depend heavily on this platform, which is why this whole situation has been so stressful.

I don’t expect miracles. I just want someone to actually read what I’m saying.

Has anyone dealt with something like this? What on earth am I supposed to do at this point?

NPR reports that activists in Arizona are protesting the destruction of a 150–200-year-old cottonwood grove to build two parallel steel border walls southeast of Tucson. The last tree was felled after Border Patrol removed a protester who had camped in its branches; roughly two dozen people were reportedly arrested.

The only two options for sign-in is password or passkey. I have never set up a single passkey ever, yet it tells me to "try another method" when trying to sign in with password.

What is the point of even having a password, if I can't use it?

Idk I’m sorry yall. Talking to that one person I feel comfortable with takes an enormous amount of my time so here I am doing a dating- relationship vent.

It is justttt so hard to know what’s gonna flip the other person over to “disinterest” or how they normally like to communicate. It’s like obviously they are not going to tell you, your vibe just somewhere obviously matches up to theirs; and same goes for them to you.

But isn’t it just tiring after a while of dating that you feel like you’re never gonna fully click with someone; and that you’ll also never be able to heal from your past relationship.. Sorry that the post is so dire 🖤😭

Even though im straight, i have been a big LGBT supporter since i was a kid, but at times it feels like if i dont follow a super strict rulebook about how to talk or act, i get attacked.

Today i made a post asking about the actual definition of lesbian, as i was confused by non-binary people using said term(not meaning any harm nor using harmful words/speech, genuinely just confused). Already my post gets a downvote and a ratio of 10 upvotes. Someone else commented "It's not anyone's buisness about how someone identifies" and more, essentially saying you can identify as whatever you want as long as youre happy. I replied how this is fundementally wrong, as if terms didn't have definitions, then they wouldnt have any meaning either, and the only things i got were 2 downvotes and a reply not addressing what i said and keeping things vague on purpose. I'm not even going to try to reply back, as i know the other only thing im gonna get is an even bigger amount of downvotes without people bothering to actually read what i say.

I don't wanna be THAT guy to say this, because the LGBT community is the one that's oppressed, but sometimes i feel attacked just because i'm straight.

She's a junior in college. I'm 45.

We work in long-term care. We are legally obligated to hand out menus. She got permission to leave 45 minutes early as long as her work was done.

Meanwhile I'm in the back office, light turned off, head pounding, doing continuing education so I don't have to be on the floor.

My supervisor was left to figure out who did and did not get menus. She had to stay late - a mom of three on a Sunday.

I am so angry and scared after this happened in downtown Berkeley this week. Our sense of security is gone. This happens almost every year at the beginning of the school year when the incoming high school freshmen arrive. You can watch the full video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kawdzfjPr8

I could not submit the comment without censoring the f word, which was used in this statement:

prediction markets are scummy as fuck

It was stolen last night at 1 am and my neighbor saw but thought it was just me. They broke a window and rigged it to run. I needed it for my college class that an hour away. It also holds my very special item, my dog collar from my dog. So I am realllllly ticked the f off. I dont know what to do. I did file a report and a claim.

They’re acting so smug about it too, like they aren’t gonna be permanently blacklisted for this.

Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center cafeteria and patient kitchen in Chicago were temporarily shut down after health inspectors discovered more than 200 live cockroaches and black slime dripping onto ice intended for human consumption.

Their cafeteria license for serving food was suspended. Patients are being served dry cereal, chips. Apparently one complained to a patient advocate. They are using milk cartons for storage.

What the hell is that?

not sure if this qualifies, but it didn't feel right to post it in the mild one.

apparently this isn't even the first time people have doxxed us.🤦 the entire thing is that in my neighborhood, someone has a dog that often jumps at the fence and barks at people and seems to be rather aggressive. he has other shit going on, and I didn't want to get involved, but the owner was saying that the dog is NEVER alone in the yard, and I mentioned that when I encountered it a while ago by myself, there wasn't anyone near it and that got people to go after me me directly, say that i'm lying about it, have the same views as my dad and other shit.

not sure why he hasn't deleted it. I very much live with him and i'm not even legal age. this isn't the first time that he's gotten into debates like this on facebook and this is the only time i've participated, and I usually just ignore his bullshit, but I don't know what to think about this anymore. people definitely know that i'm rather young which makes it a lot worse. i'm just sick of him

Idk if this is the right place, feel free to correct me if I should be posting this elsewhere, I tried posting in mildly infuriating but it was deleted, maybe it qualifies as extremely?

I saw someone walk into a library and say "omg it's giving reading". It's a library, wtf do you mean it's giving reading??? Wtf is giving reading???????!?!!?!??

Is this just me? Am I getting old?

It literally does not impact me in any way but if I had 3 wishes one of them would be used to ban this.

It's giving.... it pisses me off so much lol

I am a doctor living in southeast Asia. I've taken professional entrance exam five times now and failed with a margin. It's extremely infuriating. No proper system of marking and evaluating a candidate. I'm done studying and trying. Then I have crapheads for seniors at my workplace who judge a colleague's capabilities and competency based on passing the entrance exam. They are unnecessarily rude. They won't teach me crap but someone from outside the department is most welcome to learn! Now I've booked the next coming exam since it's my only option.

I had hoped that this time I would pass and focus on other things. Now I can't. I can't live like this - in constant shame and misery.
