Not Heidi's JournalNefarious JustAnswer remains as a Google result - harmless but irritating
Here's my original thread, in the Lounge:
https://www.democraticunderground.com/10181693088
I'm still hoping for advice on this portion:
What I need help with is this: every time I try to Google something, the first result is a JustAnswer question box. It causes no harm but it pisses me off every time. I can't figure out how to get rid of it. I just cleared the 75 JustAnswer cookies and it didn't help.
Can you help? I'd be grateful.
I am a moron. An inattentive moron. I got suckered.
On Amazon the other day, I was looking for an answer about why the "Proceed to Checkout" button took me directly back to my shopping cart.* As I was reading the FAQ, another tab opened with something called "Just Answer." I fell for it. I paid $86 for that inattentiveness. It took me far too long to figure out that this was not Amazon. I'd been had. I feel like an idiot.
I will figure out how to get my money back (and if you have any tips in this regard, I'll accept gladly).
Nefarious little shits.

* I figured out the ordering problem, no help from Just Answer. One of the things in my cart was causing the problem. Figured it out by ordering my items one by one with "Buy Now." That one item wouldn't be bought. Its loss; that camp stool could've held my ass for years to come.
Hey, Fishkeepers. Looking for stocking ideas.
My new 15-gallon freshwater aquarium is finally cycled. Time for plants (I've put that off), then fish.
I'd like to have several small fish and a betta. I know not to get fin-nippers, but the only ones I know of are tiger barbs. Can you name some others for me?
Would you have any suggestions about what fish to stock my tank with? I've been thinking about pygmy cories and small rasboras. I know some tetras can be good, but I don't know which ones. (Not really interested in neon tetras or the artificially colored fishes.) Are zebra danios aggressive/fin-nippers?
Finally, can you tell me how many fish are safe in 15 gallons well-maintained?
Thanks!
de Armas as Monroe - and Fox's opinion
Ana de Armas, a Latina from Cuba and Spain, has been cast as Marilyn Monroe. One of the Foxites said it smacks of "racialism." Wtf is that? Just say racism, 🐔 💩.
And how is it racist? Perhaps she gave the best auditions, you morons. Perhaps the director found that she, above all others, has what s/he's looking for. Use your cute little pea brains.
Not only that, but they're questioning whether it was appropriate for an American to portray Margaret Thatcher, and an Irishman to portray Abraham Lincoln.
What in the name of Bob is wrong with these effing nationalists?
What the hell is wrong with Republicans?
Elected officials, staffers, talking heads - the lot.
Why the eff do they have to draw such a stark line against this administration? Aren't we all in this together?
If they think they have better ideas, why can't they put them out there with a willingness to have a civil discussion with Democrats, rather than blast how bad (they say) the admin's policies are?
We're gridlocked and no one cares.
This isn't rhetorical. I'm interested in what you have to say.
(Apparent?) Election Problem: CA-45 and CA-48
Jay Chen is running to unseat Republican Michelle Steel, who is my rep in CA-48.
His site says he's running for California's 45th. There's a little problem with that.
https://porter.house.gov/about/
"Congresswoman Katie Porter represents the 45th Congressional District in Orange County, California."
https://steel.house.gov/about
"Congresswoman Michelle Steel is serving her first term representing California’s 48th District."
Now:
https://chenforcongress.com/
"JAY CHEN FOR CALIFORNIA'S 45!"
https://indivisibleca45.org/
"In 2022, the new California Congressional District 45!"
I know many districts changed with the 2020 census. But Rep. Porter's site is about the 45th, and Michelle Steel's site is about the 48th.
Look at the sites. Compare the maps. WTF is going on?
I can't possibly be the only person who's noticed this. Am I wrong in thinking this is a problem? Confusion reigns in my head, which is sore from .
Problem at home - got advice?
My wife and I share a four-bedroom house with my sister and her 34-year-old daughter, whom I'll call Carol. Carol has ADHD and severe - severe - anxiety disorder and maybe some undiagnosed problems. She's incapable of working outside the home.
My niece has only two chores.
One is to take out the trash/recycling and to take the bins to and from the curb each week. The other is to care for our five cats. This includes feeding them and keeping their water fountain clean and filled. It includes keeping the litter boxes clean. It includes cleaning up where a cat has vomited or has voided outside a box. Finally, it includes administering meds when they're required.
The only thing Carol keeps up with without being told is taking out the bins, the 5:00 pm canned feeding and the meds. She doesn't even keep the kibble dishes filled and she doesn't keep their water fountain clean and filled. (We others will add water to the fountain.)
She does not scoop regularly - not even once a day - and she lets "accidents" sit for a day or two or three before cleaning them up. I'm talking about bodily waste out in the open.
The house stinks all the time because of these things. My other sister won't visit. We can't have impromptu visitors.
I sometimes ask Carol why she doesn't do things without being asked. She responds: "Executive dysfunction." Unfortunately it, like ADHD, is a family trait.
Do you have any advice? Ideas? Similar experience?
Guess the book by the first line.
"Maybe I shouldn't have given the guy who pumped my stomach my phone number . . . ."
I just spent about two hours exercising my thinking/writing chops
on the subject of religion and homosexuality on FB.
Some interesting weirdness in here. For example, I was accused of writing what "smacks of Protestantism or worse" - by a Christian, no less. I wonder what denomination. Catholic? Jehovah's Witness?
Enjoy with relish, or employ as sedative. https://bit.ly/3PNexwj

Is your representative a Republican?
I live in CA-48. My rep in the House is Republican Michelle Steel, elected in 2020. I expect that she'll be reelected in November.
In Democrat Harley Rouda, we had only a one-term respite from Dana Rohrabacher.
I'll give Steel the benefit of the doubt, in that I suppose she's probably earnest and sincere. But I abhor her politics.
If your representative is a Republican, please tell us about your experience with that person voting in your name. If you've ever written to or called your Republican representative, what did you write or say?
I'm a former legal secretary, and even before I embarked on that career, I was an inflexible proofreader. On May 9, Steel put out a press release in which she slightly misquoted Dr. King. Maybe I was just looking for something to be pissed at; I'll admit that. Still, I pounced. I wrote to Rep. Steel:
Dear Representative Steel,
One of my primary skills as a legal secretary (retired) is proofreading. I found an error in today's press release about your joint amicus brief with Senator Cruz regarding the two Affirmative Action cases currently before the Supreme Court.
In this press release, you quote Dr. Martin Luther King thus: " . . . our country’s aspiration should be to judge people not on the color of their skin but the content of their character."
In "I Have A Dream," Dr. King used the word by. "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
A small thing, yes, and I realize you didn't use a direct quote. Still, I'm sure you want to publish strictly accurate press releases. Please see that your staff is made aware of this error.
Respectfully, your constituent,
Not Heidi
In hindsight, it seems I was just looking for something to bitch at her about, and I'm not happy with myself about that. I stand by what I wrote, though. I wonder if the lowly staffer who reads my email will even consider bumping it up the line. Probably not.
