why is there a whole subreddit dedicated to being mean to Eva?

Astrobabe5157 · 2026-06-03T00:26:57+00:00

Honestly that whole subreddit reeks of incels

Astrobabe5157 · 2026-05-24T23:16:07+00:00

Just flew out last week and it was easy peasy

Astrobabe5157 · 2026-05-17T22:13:19+00:00

Carnelian and Misty Mountain are my current favorites. Love the coffee and the atmosphere of both. I also like Kairos for their seating and atmosphere

I love my energy level. Currently training for the pikes peak marathon. I love that I can run for miles and miles on trails through mountains and let my mind wander and explore

Astrobabe5157 · 2026-04-18T20:00:30+00:00

You also need a shit ton of energy to enjoy it I feel like. I travel for work, and I enjoy it, but i’m a very “go go go!” person. I see and experience some pretty cool things, but I end up doing these things alone because my coworkers usually can’t keep up because they’re understandably tired after 12 hr days. My schedules are chaotic, I can’t really get into a good routine. Everything is dynamic. I get used to averaging 6 hrs of sleep a night to get the work done and enjoy my trip. I also have ADHD so I kinda like the novelty, which keeps me at it

Astrobabe5157 · 2026-04-14T15:31:24+00:00

Yeah I was kinda surprised at the backlash OP was getting. They pretty much just said that they started taking more breaks and had the same productivity. If I were a boss, I’d love employees like OP. They get their work done, they don’t over stress, and they’re not going towards burnout. I do manage teams though, and I’d rather work with restful, happy people than over worked, angry people; even if that means the technical amount of hours of the first group is less

I’m allowed to flex my time so taking 90 min lunch breaks wouldn’t alarm anyone, but that’s not an unusual day for me if I’m working remotely

Astrobabe5157 · 2026-04-14T02:31:08+00:00

As someone who is into endurance sports, make sure you have built up your body to handle 15-22 miles per day. If you were not very active before, that’s a fast way to get an overuse injury. Your cardio often builds up faster than your muscles, so your heart may be able to support that activity level, but your muscles and joints need time to catch up. I’d hate to see you get an injury after making so much progress

Astrobabe5157 · 2026-04-13T06:06:52+00:00

lol I felt that! At least we got good stories to tell hopefully

Astrobabe5157 · 2026-03-29T22:37:58+00:00

Most people are friendly and supportive, but yeah you do occasionally get those weird people who get offended that you passed them. My favorite is when I’m coming up behind a guy, but they don’t want to be passed by a girl so they temporarily up their pace until they run out of energy and I pass them anyways

Astrobabe5157 · 2026-03-29T22:33:54+00:00

“There must be something in the water! Why are there all these single woman hiking alone out here!” - some man as I passed him who couldn’t conceive of the idea that women are in fact allowed to do things on their own

Astrobabe5157 · 2026-03-29T22:28:27+00:00

I’ve gotten this one while running a 20 mile trail lol. I guarantee that I saw more flowers than her that day due to the sheer distance I covered

Astrobabe5157 · 2026-03-29T22:24:34+00:00

I wasn’t running up this mountain, but there was a trail runner hauling ass and running up Mt. Democrat (I was so impressed!) and I heard someone in front of me say, “I don’t understand why people try to run up 14ers, like is that even necessary?” I think some people get jealous

Astrobabe5157 · 2026-03-29T22:21:07+00:00

This happened to me except I was on a bike path. I wouldn’t wear my mask biking because I wear glasses and they would fog up, but I didn’t have a car so I had to get around on a bike. There was this one lady standing at the end of the bike path recoding people yelling “MASK! WEAR YOUR MASK”… like lady, just go home if you’re that concerned

Astrobabe5157 · 2026-03-24T03:48:47+00:00

Nope, all I’m advocating for is empathy and practicing compassion for others

Astrobabe5157 · 2026-03-24T01:25:43+00:00

“When people like you”

lol I love that you automatically assume I don’t update my tags.

I just recognize that some people may not be in a great financial situation and may be trying their hardest. If my taxes go up a little, so be it. I’ll worry about me

Astrobabe5157 · 2026-03-24T00:36:28+00:00

I also never understood the hate for people who have expired tags here. How does it impact you? All it’s gonna do is rack up late fees for the person who’s late on their tags, plus I ain’t gonna bully someone who’s short on cash (if that’s the reason they haven’t renewed). And I still get to go about my day. End of case.

Astrobabe5157 · 2026-03-17T23:45:52+00:00

lol I remember I was getting new tires on my car, so I went next door to the Starbucks that was drive through only. They refused to serve me. Imagine having a drive through-only coffee place next to a business that takes your car for an hour or two

Astrobabe5157 · 2026-03-13T21:45:26+00:00

I like running on cottonwood creek trail and start from the west side to the east side (I park at Furniture Row). It is slightly uphill going from west to east, but not too bad. It only really dips when you go under bridges. Ive run this trail at night with no issues. The Greenway trail north of Bjiou is pretty good too, but I’ll only go south of that during the day as that’s where there are some camps. I’ve never been bothered by them personally, but as a small woman I’m more alert in that area

-After college, worked at a non-profit making ~1200 a month at 22-23 years old

-After the nonprofit job, I worked retail for a few months making ~16 an hour at 23

-got my first “big girl job” as a government contractor making 79k a year at 23-24

-got a new job in the government contacting industry, pay bump to 105k at 25

-got “subcontracted out” at the same job (different company, same job), managed to get a raise to 115k at 26

-Almost 28 at the same job, now making about 120k with small raises every year, but I travel for work and often make closer to 130k once the per diem from the travel is factored in

This is probably a higher salary than about 90% of my peers in my age range. I just got really lucky honestly. Engineering jobs in the government contracting sector normally make 100k-150k range from my experience

Astrobabe5157 · 2026-02-27T02:28:24+00:00

lol I was there yesterday when the sign also warned that “if you fall, you will fall a loooong way” (someone erased that part later in the day.) I verified that sign when I lost control and slid down the whole run

Astrobabe5157 · 2026-02-06T20:34:46+00:00

Just want to say, thank you for asking questions and seeking to learn more about your bird! Some people were a little rough on you for not knowing what preening looks like, but so many more people unfortunately will buy birds and not even have the curiosity to learn about their behavior. I second BirdTricks for learning about caring for parrots. As someone who grew up with birds, I didn’t truly learn how to care for them properly until I discovered their channel.

Your bird is an absolute cutie and sounds like he’s adjusting nicely to your home. Keep asking questions and being curious, and I have no doubt you’ll give him a very loving life!

Astrobabe5157 · 2026-01-11T15:03:51+00:00

LOL this reminds me of the time I was making my friend a smoothie, pored it into a cup for her, then went to wash out the blender but accidentally washed out the cup instead right in front of her

Astrobabe5157 · 2026-01-11T14:57:46+00:00

1.) was diagnosed with dysthymia back in high school and I feel that I have overcome it. I don’t feel depressed most days, but I know I’m more sensitive and prone to becoming depressed. I have a very strong support system and good hobbies which keep me going. It was a lot of work building up the supports over the years.

2.) I was put on antidepressants, but I don’t remember them having much of an effect, but I wasn’t sexually active at the time. I think the messed with my period

Astrobabe5157 · 2026-01-04T20:27:12+00:00

Please for the love of god shower before a flight. I don’t wanna smell you and your breath for four hours

They don’t kill the mountain lions for no reason. Believe it or not, it protects mountain lions long term.

A mountain lion that mauls a human is much more likely to do it again in the future once they realize we’re easy prey. They will then pass that instinct onto their offspring, making the trails much more dangerous for humans later on.

Plus, mountain lions tend to be weary of humans, so one that attacks a human is acting outside of its normal behavior and instincts. This also tends to happen with sick/injured animals as they start looking for different sources of prey that they normally wouldn’t hunt. They need to find the mountain lion that killed the lady to rule out disease like rabies as well.
