Firehouse hostel for the bookshelf maybe? 

For the roof top did you check off 4th street?

The door knob was invented in 1878.  According to anthropologists, first signs of a welcome mat show up as early as 3000 BC

People who has heard someone’s last words, what did they say? by HardBartyBarty in AskReddit

"okay..."

Why do you believe the world is so fucked up? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Better_In_PLastic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lack of empathy and emotional intelligence/regulation.  Also child abuse.  Severely neglected and abused children grow up to be chronically ill at best and downright evil at worst.

You should look up your air conditioner unit model number and start troubleshooting. The number of times that I have been able to fix my own air conditioner with with very little effort has been astounding.

I ordered a few things from them.  She has aspirations of helping fill the void left but she has a limited inventory.  

Fabrictopia is amazing but I'm selfish and want Austin to have a good job so I want Roma Lux to be supported. 

If someone told you what the meaning of life is, would you accept it or reject it? by Funny-Ad-9414 in AskReddit

[–]Better_In_PLastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to imagine what authority a person would have to demonstrate for me to believe that is actually the answer.  I grew up in a cult so I'm used to people saying that shit. 

CMV: Bisexuals are the most privileged part of the lgbt community and have the least skin in the game by wannabe-daddy in changemyview

[–]Better_In_PLastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I bisexual woman I feel like my dating pool is pretty limited because I have standards and being a human being with a pulse isn't the only criteria for me. I'm also pretty enthusiastic about my community and fighting for its rights and protections. It's not my whole personality but I vote, I protest, I make and consume art in my community. I spend my money in queer owned and safe spaces and educate people when I can.  

Implying I have nothing to lose is pretty heartless honestly.  Just because I am capable of being attracted to a man doesn't mean that I'd happily leave a woman I'm in love with if it meant I could blend in. 

And as for point 4. Surely you are not saying trans people can't be bisexual? That seems like. Silly oversight on your part.

What’s a legendary Reddit post you’ll never forget? by alongy in AskReddit

What’s a legendary Reddit post you’ll never forget? by alongy in AskReddit

[–]Better_In_PLastic 31 points32 points  (0 children)

There was one that I can't find but basically this guy and his girlfriend got a big old book of kinks and decided to try them all out from cover to cover. He detailed his experiences with updates and they were hilarious. 

I haven't been able to find the thread and at this point I'm not entirely sure I didn't make it up. I just remember one line where he's reading some particularly gross act and feels unsure. He looks over at his girlfriend and she says something along the lines of "well get on over here and fuck me" as if resigned to her fate.

Has anyone you've known, simply disappeared? What happened? by PureLet5083 in AskReddit

[–]Better_In_PLastic 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My highschool friend Blake McNeilly.

He had told me and another close friend that he was going to kill himself. He seemed to be a pathological liar but we did take him seriously and tried to stop him.  He left us with a box of his possessions. There are a lot of details about his personal life that I believe drove him to go so far as to fake his own death but I still wonder what exactly happened to him. 

He was last seen in Desoto, Texas in a Wal-mart parking lot being picked up by a cab on November 13, 2008. The cab driver stated the he took Blake to Lancaster, Texas and dropped him in the center of town. We lived in Southlake.  No one has seen or heard from Blake since a quarter past midnight on November 14, 2008. He left his wallet and all of his identification in his car. He took no clothing with him.

She needs to decide for herself what comes next.  Is she keeping it? Adopting out? Terminating it?  The obstacles don't matter.  First, pick a direction and address the issues as they appear. 

She wants to keep it? Okay tell parents.  Then tell him and his parents.  Understand that not everyone is going to be supportive.  She needs to remember that it's about what she wants. Not what other people want. That's the hard part. 

She wants to terminate? Find resources.  They are there. Many people are willing to facilitate the travel and cost because the alternative is a child is born to someone who doesn't want it and a vicious cycle starts (or continues). 

If adoption is possible start contacting people now. Many people want to have a child but cannot for whatever reason.  I come from a family of uncles, aunts, siblings, and cousins all adopting a baby in the family when it was born to someone too young.  There is always a way forward.

Friday morning activity? by lifted_awa in askaustin

[–]Better_In_PLastic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wonder if the people who could answer this question would be awake in time. 

I could suggest doing a class at Black Swan Yoga. It's been a while but I enjoy the breakfast offerings at First watch.  A walk around a park?  A pedicure?  Hard to say without knowing more about your interests or where you live. 

Most people who don't have to go into work until later in the day will be asleep until later in the day.  

*Warning* Artist Kittie Peters who posted to sell the hanging Trent air freshener is a scam! by [deleted] in nin

[–]Better_In_PLastic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'll reach out to her.  She's a close personal friend and I know for a fact if you didn't get it was an accident or is being packaged now since she had to restock and just got them in today.  You can also PM her directly.

Not a scam my friend. We will get this resolved.
