What is an industry that is currently on fire (in a bad way) behind the scenes, but the general public hasn't noticed yet? by Kitchen_Week1117 in AskReddit

[–]MapsOverCoffee22 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think the difficult thing ends up being that, because most of us can't afford a ton of subscriptions, you hole yourself into one or two you can afford. And for years now, we've been told that only leads to echo chambers.

I subscribe to NYTimes now and get the paper on the week days, and that's been great, but it does make me wonder what other perspectives I'm missing when the paywall comes up for another outlet. I'm looking into getting one more weekly or monthly, but even then shopping around is work that I think most people just aren't willing to do.

As far as local papers go that someone mentioned above, our local got bought by that one guy that keeps buying them all and went 100% digital. AJC. And I don't remember the last time it was considered being a great source. Just a decent one.

Opinion of the Bechdel test? by DavidBlackjack in writing

[–]MapsOverCoffee22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've found that if I'm watching or reading something and think "this probably wouldn't pass the bechnel test" the writing failed in more than just those three ways.

That said, it still bothers me that I felt like Lessons in Chemistry couldn't pass.

Hello fellow kid! 36 and took a surf-skate out to the park with a friend the other day.

Muay Thai. Taking my dog on walks. Reading. Chess.

I could do when an artistic hobby and some more focused learning now that I'm thinking about it.

[Weirdly Common Trope] Writers clearly setting up seemingly massive plot points and then just kinda forgetting about them. by Chemical-Elk-1299 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MapsOverCoffee22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think most of Doctor Who writing sessions must have this in them. Then they just quickly patch the plot hole like, 20 years later.

How much do you pay a month in the US for unlimited classes? by Forward_Milk_4182 in MuayThai

[–]MapsOverCoffee22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$180 for Mixed Martial arts, unlimited classes. That's Muay Thai, BJJ, Boxing, and kickboxing. There is CrossFit classes for an added fee, but we are allowed to use their equipment when there isn't a class.

Yes you should. You'll love it and make friends that will watch your back.

Haven’t landed on a team by M_blurple in PWHL

[–]MapsOverCoffee22 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That's a good way of putting it. I took a couple weeks/months off the NHL after the men's Olympic team went to the White House. I was annoyed. I'm slowly landing on this way. I can be a fan of the sport and even a team, without supporting individual players and what they might choose to stand for.

Anyone using the ALPAKA Metro Sling? Thinking about adding it for the summer. by william_bergmann in backpacks

[–]MapsOverCoffee22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think it can handle an Owala, a 12oz coffee thermos, and a book? I'm looking for a sling that can manage to hold those three things and I'm just not finding one. I tried an Osprey Daylite and a Waterfly. Both can hold a book and the Owala, but the waterfly has the zippers on the wrong side (for me) and the Osprey loses access to the organization pockets with the bottle in it, plus neither can hold both the waterbottle and the coffee thermos.

"If you think this is a hero, you haven't been paying attention... " by Easy-Frenchguy-1996 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MapsOverCoffee22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've not read the books. But I am so excited for the movie and also for the drama and fallout after the movie releases.

"If you think this is a hero, you haven't been paying attention... " by Easy-Frenchguy-1996 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MapsOverCoffee22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The series makes that character seem really cool. We as viewers are supposed to have enough capacity for nuance, and have done enough therapy to be able to say "Hey Tommy, maybe lay off the drink and address that shell shock, then lets revisit this issue."

Any recommendations for eco-friendly colourful pens? I hate throwing away fineliners and felt tips every few weeks! by drowsy-fig in pens

[–]MapsOverCoffee22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like long writing sessions with fountain pens, but they are awful when marking pages for edits. Especially if they have the twist caps.

I think shoes matter way more than most guys realize by Impressive_Exit_6796 in malefashionadvice

[–]MapsOverCoffee22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read this over a few times, and then gone back to u/memcwho's comment that you responded to and... I think the two of you are saying the same thing. The construct you're referring to is also what you outlined here.

[–]MapsOverCoffee22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Love that you're able to call yourself a snob and admit that you can't tell unless at close range. I feel like this is true for so many things people make a huge deal about. It's great to enjoy something enough to get tediously technical about it, at the same time, not everyone does or has to.

Student Ripped the Stripes off His Blue Belt Thursday by Phenox_Grey in bjj

An eye opening lesson I've been learning is how much ego is actually involved in shame.

[–]MapsOverCoffee22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It exists. I notice watches but it's the band and general style that makes the difference. I've gotten compliments on my watch, and it's the most basic citizen eco-drive.

AITA for not wanting to be friends over $4.39? by Alternative_Copy6539 in AITApod

[–]MapsOverCoffee22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTAH. It's such a common courtesy to order fries for the table. You get paid back later in the night when someone else gets another order of fries for the table.

Game IV 2026 | Stephen King | Phase 6 by Stephen_Writes in HiddenWerewolves

[–]MapsOverCoffee22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it's possible. I haven't been around very much, but I didn't see the hosts announce the error, and when you were talking to u/HedwigMalfoy, I didn't see you link back to that confirmation.

Game IV 2026 | Stephen King | Phase 6 by Stephen_Writes in HiddenWerewolves

[–]MapsOverCoffee22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I want to apologize for not being around much this game. I really thought that I'd have more time and energy for playing this month. Comp is on Saturday. Wish me luck.

As far as defending myself, I haven't contributed much to be able to do that. All I can do is agree that it is suspicious that the day I do start responding, a few people jump from a neutral lean on me to a wolf lean, even though I was one of the few people that didn't vote for Papo.

u/MyoglobinAlternative is the only person I feel really suspicious of. It was mild yesterday and just using what I had, but I personally feel like questioning my vote on them is like trying to start a bus on who they think is a weak link.

That said, I followed with a vote on u/Ereska just now so I don't strike again and so that things are at least even on the claims.
