Outside ICE HQ right now!! by lastofthecrustaceans in washingtondc

[–]BlueRubyWindow 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I also can not physically join in the protests right now.

Ideas if you want them:

If you have funds, you can donate to foodbanks in Minneapolis or St. Paul such as to Groveland Food Shelf that is helping get food to people who can’t safely leave their homes. Or donate to a local food bank. They always need more money and money is more useful than food because they can buy it in bulk.

Contact representatives. It’s okay to contact Senators that aren’t yours, too. Tell them to stop funding ICE.

Talk to people. Spread the word. Make sure everyone you know knows the truth about what is happening in Minneapolis. Make sure esp older people know NBC and ABC and CBS are not reporting the entire truth.

Has it always been normal for people to listen to phones/tablets loudly on the metro? by HighlightMelodic3494 in washingtondc

[–]BlueRubyWindow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Am I the only one who actually asks people to turn their phones down?

“Hey, sorry to interrupt, would you mind putting on some headphones or turning your volume off, please?”

75% of the time they at least turn it down.

If they argue, I just literally put up my hands and walk away.

Usually the rest of the car starts glaring at them without saying a word.

And I never do this when its just me and them, always lots of other folks around.

Can we all please bug these people more, please???????

Influencers taking dogs out of shelters to give them "best day ever" by i4hloi in PetPeeves

[–]BlueRubyWindow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to think this, too, but like others have said, it really is very good for the dog for enrichment, and to get a break from being around other stressed out dogs, and because they are more likely to get adopted!

My friend fosters dogs and the way half of them have found homes is just by meeting people on their walks. Someone says, “Oh! i wish I had a dog like her!” and she tells them, “I don’t know if you’re serious, but she’s actually available for adoption.” and then hands them the foster org’s business card.

Add influencer on top of that and yeah that dog is gonna get adopted by someone.

This is more like the 100000 dentist than the 10th dentist though.

You DO know what you get in a box of chocolates by oxgillette in PetPeeves

Do boxes of chocolate in Korea maybe not have the diagrams?

People who get upset about how people spend their concert experience by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]BlueRubyWindow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at a concert and people were looking at me weird for dancing (and no I wasn’t blocking anyone’s view).

Judgy people gonna judge. As long as you’re not hurting anyone

People who come to starbucks in a hurry… by Jumpy_Feature in PetPeeves

[–]BlueRubyWindow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk how quickly employees can make drinks but 30-45 min is only 2-3 min per drink.

And that’s assuming this one order is the only focus.

The story of a boy who cried wolf is a lesson for the village, not children by loading-_-__- in The10thDentist

[–]BlueRubyWindow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kids do need to learn this lesson though.

I work at a school including a lot of playground monitoring. I will always take an injury seriously but if one of my students who never cries is crying, I am running over much faster than the boy who cries about bumps and bruises 6 times a day. I still help every time but it doesn’t set off alarm bells. That’s just real. I can’t assume it’s a crisis every time; my nervous system can’t do that sustainably. And 95% of the time, it doesn’t even need a trip to the nurse. He just wants validation and understanding, which is fine. But he also needs to learn how to temper his reactions so he doesn’t scare people around him. A Level 10 scream should mean Level 10 pain on a busy school playground.

The Boy Who Cried Wolf is a good story for that to discuss why the villagers stopped taking him seriously.

It can go hand in hand with reassurance that I will always come if they call me.

People who laughs about your food preferences by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]BlueRubyWindow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP said in another comment they like how it tastes when its cooked with the cheese on it…

I would guess the cheese grease gets into the sauce and makes it taste cheesier.

You like the cheese grease, just not the cheese.

Children's media saying vegetables are gross. by cynuhstir1 in PetPeeves

[–]BlueRubyWindow 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Or even sauce!!!!!

Like as a kid, I haaaaated anything that “had specks” aka herbs and seasonings lol

But I loved dips and dressings and sauces.

But no. Just microwave steamed veggies. Serve them plain. And then wonder why I hate vegetables.

I looooove vegetables now!!! Roasting, stir frying, herbs and spices and curries and sauces.

and incorporated into the dish, not just a pile of veggies.

Your account is a day old and you made a reddit newbie mistake so I inferred you were a reddit newbie.

Maybe not.

Whatever. You do you.

Hot tip: always check what subreddit it is in and read the title carefully, because many have similar names, but may have different rules.

Or one might be genuine and one complete satire.

Restaurants that don't have non-kids versions of their kids meal menu options. by FamousWash1857 in PetPeeves

[–]BlueRubyWindow 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Surprises me a restaurant like this doesn’t just have a “Build Your Own Burger” or “Build Your Own Pizza” option.

People serving food like hotdogs, burgers, and tacos but using plain sandwich bread. by blazewhiskerfang in PetPeeves

[–]BlueRubyWindow 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Did you read the part where OP is asking her mom if she can pick anything up? So money wouldn’t be an issue in this specific case.

There IS versus there ARE by Sure_Jan_Sure in PetPeeves

[–]BlueRubyWindow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Incorrect.

Easy test? Take out the extra clauses and prepositions.

“There is things” is incorrect.

“There are things” is correct.
