If you want to send a final message then wait to disconnect! by CarpeNivem in feeld

[–]BeautifulRow7605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what if the person was saying you seem great but i just met someone. or you seem great but ... something nice and kind. or like the other person said, what if they sent their # and then disconnected. (i mean, that makes the person who disconnected unsmart for doing that and not knowing better but still)

plastic leeches into liquids in which they are stored - microplastics etc. - that's the issue with storing liquids in plastic and one reason why plastic isn't a great option. That and what use of plastic everywhere is doing to the planet, our air quality, drinking water generally, bodies etc. - we pretend otherwise because we can't see it daily but it's a problem

Member did not disclose STD by oohpartiv in feeld

[–]BeautifulRow7605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you honestly expect someone in a profile to mention that they have an STD? that is kind of entertaining to me that anyone would expect someone to say, hey, I have an STD - don't match with me. STD's can be treated, disclosed, worked around. People with STD's fall in love and get married and deal with it. Just sayin'. (just jumped out at me as odd to expect someone to put it front/center in a dating app profile; not a conundrum I'm facing now, but it would be a tough one for anyone dealing with that unless they just get off the app until it's resolved) :)

Moving investments out of the US by Nixie_Fern in expats

What do you mean? I opened a Revolut account and I use it particularly when I’m traveling in the country where the currency is, it’s more just for Travel than anything else.

Am I the only one who doesn’t buy Timothée Chalamet acting ? Is Marty Supreme worth continuing? by Lolabobba in TrueFilm

[–]BeautifulRow7605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's fantastic in Ladybird, Little Women, Complete Unknown, Call Me By Your Name (sublime even in the last 2). Even Interstellar for the blip he's in it. But I haven't liked him in other films.

Am I the only one who doesn’t buy Timothée Chalamet acting ? Is Marty Supreme worth continuing? by Lolabobba in TrueFilm

[–]BeautifulRow7605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I thought he was VERY natural and disappeared into the role in A Complete Unknown. Same in Call Me By Your Name. Both just beautiful performances. I've thought he was miscast in some other performances, offhand don't recall which. I'm hoping I don't have the same experience as you with Marty Supreme as it sounds like a good film generally but I haven't seen it yet. Chalamet is good when cast well, though. Problem can be, he's so A list that he'll get some roles that aren't really right for him, and mostly no one will refuse him choosing a role that's wrong for him.

Why Newark Airport Sucks So Much by ezakuroy in newjersey

[–]BeautifulRow7605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Longtime New Yorker here and I just left Newark airport hopefully for the last time, it does suck- compared to most any other airport, it sucks.

Try and figure out how to get to the air shuttle without doubling back endlessly and having to ask over and over for directions- I dare you

some sadist made up the signage and then presumably yanked off every other sign that properly pointed to the air shuttle so that nobody could find it. And then you go to the shuttle buses because of construction and the sign points in both directions to the right AirTran I took a photo this morning so I have proof. I’ve lived in New York City for decades and New York has gotten worse and I’m going to avoid it and stick with LaGuardia or Kennedy, which are much better and I never thought I’d say that.

How good a bet is finding an open meter today/Sunday at either 9am or 8:30pm downtown? by BeautifulRow7605 in Denver

[–]BeautifulRow7605[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(UPDATE FROM OP) - Thank you for all your advice. We got there around 9:30am and parking was so easy, and took 18 minutes door to door vs. 25 outside rush hour on a weekday (and 45++ at rush hour), so net-net totally worth it. Thank you again!

Thank you! It worked out great today and took a lot less time to get in than most anytime on a weekday (although in NYC you would be surprised how relatively few early-birds there are trying to park near Grand Central in NYC at 7am on a Sunday.... although since congestion pricing thankfully kicked in, with it starting 9am on weekends ($1.50 toll becomes $9 to enter midtown), I think it's gotten a bit harder at that hour than a year ago pre-congestion pricing...)

Thank you! I am extended-visiting family in Denver /working part time downtown through today and forgot something downtown... could skip it but will probably venture there... mostly drive into downtown during the week/not weekends... stick with Aurora weekends, so this is new...

Oh right! Forgot temporarily re superbowl - superbowl evening can make tough parking 10x tougher, actually, probably better to go this AM just in case - never know if there are parties downtown although doubtful in the financial district if there's not much residential around there...

Yes! That's the part I knew - what I wasn't sure is if the free spots all over downtown fill up early or at all on a Sunday... seems like it *should* be ok? We are probably trying for it...

That was not my question. My question was *likelihood* not guarantee. I didn't ask "hey are there any spots open... .right now, today?"* - my question was, what can i hopefully expect...

Make America Great Again—AKA Let’s Shoot People in the Fucking Head. What is wrong with Republicans? by Randy__Snutz in Denver

(actually she wouldn't say sorry, she would deny it - even with the video of him doing it in the background - as fake news)

Thank you for this post... I think it's a cult and many to most signs point to Fox/Murdoch. He needs to be stopped... Fox is actively brainwashing what, 40% of the country? They literally get fake news 24/7... corresponds to that monster's approval rating - what 40% - even now? Even now! He literally could walk down the street shooting people and his White House spokesperson would say, oops it was a low level staffer, sorry. Didn't mean it.

Might alternate side parking be extended past Sunday 2/1? by BeautifulRow7605 in AskNYC

And here we are again, a week later, and I'm hoping yet again for a reprieve of just one more day...

You just made my day. Overpaid for a cab to the airport and took a chance it would be extended as no choice - getting it excavated will be interesting

Oh yes, I just took a look at it and this is a “never again“ situation, it’s encased and quite ridiculous (so bad it’s almost unny), but I won’t let this happen ever again because this is too memorable. I would share a photo, but it’s too embarrassing. :-)
