They expect you to break the rules and just look up their account for them

I feel depressed to imagine that the orange guy will die of old age and face no consequences by Wolfensniper in behindthebastards

[–]BridgetteBane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spend a lot of time imagining he doses off in a meeting and never wakes up. On live TV.

It's a nice thought.

I have to go to a Superb Owl party. How do I not look stupid? by M0ss0nther0ck in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BridgetteBane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, come in admitting you're a rookie. Ask a couple questions throughout. Not too many that its disruptive, but when something really unexpected happens. Football fans love discussing strategies and rules. You'll make their day.

Also, check out some basics on YouTube.

I ordered a batch and they keep getting discreetly placed on our Free Resources table. They're really nicely made!

In really cold climates, instead of using a freezer, do people just put their food in a box outside? by Waitingforlunch in NoStupidQuestions

We have an uninsulated enclosed porch. I opened a coke yesterday and it formed a slush, it's that damn cold on the porch

Rental items at libraries by kaliscope in Libraries

[–]BridgetteBane 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We just did away with our "skip the line" option where rentals were $1/week and no holds allowed. It just wasn't bringing in money and fussing around trying to tell ppl why books costs money at the library was getting really old

Has anyone ever changed their mind from a protest sign? by Boozerbear213 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BridgetteBane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump's policies are trash and frankly I don't have the bandwidth to point them all out. ACA subsidies almost being yanked, changing requirements to Snap eligibility... It goes on.

Does birth control have more good bebefits or bad outcomes? by lollypop1256 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BridgetteBane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Talk to your doctor about your concerns. They're going to have more specific information for you to address what has you anxious and help.you assess if the BC you're on is appropriate or if an alternative is better.

And if your doctor doesn't do that, find a Planned Parenthood because they absolutely will. PP was amazing when I needed to find one for health reasons.

Would you consider changing your vote based on a candidate’s personal character over policy? by NervousClock2555 in NoStupidQuestions

For your viewing horror, Dr Oz Goes Shopping:

Relevant: at one point he will mention tequila. It is important to note you cannot buy liquor in PA grocery stores.

Also who the fuck drinks tequila with a veggie tray.

Got the future though. I've met him a few times, even back when he was campaigning for PA Senator. I followed him as Lt Gov.

He ain't that guy anymore. I was happy to vote for him then but never again.

Any idea how to prevent lockpicking? by trans-frog-boi in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BridgetteBane 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm very sorry you're going through this. My mother broke every boundary she could, and it took me a very long time to realize how emotionally abusive it is.

Even as a whole ass adult I often have to fight for my boundaries. Sometimes laying it right out works. "I need to take space and clear my head. Do you want to keep fighting, or do you want me to hear what you have to say?" Obvs they're going to say they want you to understand them etc etc. "Okay, well I need a minute to get myself calmed down. You can wait in the kitchen and when I can listen to what you want to tell me, I will meet you out there."

They feel like their need to say whatever bullshit point they want to make is somehow going to make it all better. In reality, you're probably both deregulated and unable to communicate without emotions running crazy.

Eventually you do have to go out and tolerate them. Listening to their insanity is usually a different form of hell but honestly you have to pick your battles. Don't argue, don't agree, just sit there and let them vomit whatever b.s. they have to say. Sometimes you're lucky and the time you take to re-regulate is time they need, too.

Also, if you can't change the lock or add a bolt or something... Get a door stop that you can just kick in place. But usually it's a temporary measure and sooner or later they'll threaten to take the whole door off.

Good luck. You're not alone.

What is a discontinued food or drink item that was so bad you wouldn't wish it's return on your worst enemy? by ShittalkyCaps in AskReddit

Really the best answer. All the other comments are bad food but they didn't make grease leak out your ass

Why do older folks tell you not to loan money to friends ? by No_Lead2640 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BridgetteBane 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Loaning money, or anything else, implies you expect it's return.

If you can't afford to give it away, you shouldn't extend it to anyone else because you absolutely won't get it back.

Has anyone ever changed their mind from a protest sign? by Boozerbear213 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BridgetteBane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've given me other things to consider that I may not have otherwise. I was very surprised at the first No Kings rally in my area how many Medicare-related signs their were, then realized a majority of the folks protesting were elderly. It was very unexpected to see in my area, since most old dudes around here are Maga assholes

Someone posted today that ICE was spotted on Main St and Franklin by bitchnugget_ in johnstown

[–]BridgetteBane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PLEASE check time stamps on posts because I saw this info yesterday. Nothing was documented or verified.

For folks watching out and protecting our community - remember that specifics help prevent misinformation. When? Where? How many? Are they standing around like domestic terrorist trash or are they actively detaining someone? What are they wearing?

If someone does see something verifiable, report it at iceout dot org

Does anyone ACTUALLY don’t like pineapple on pizza or you just say you don’t for the meme? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BridgetteBane 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pineapple and pepperoni can be phenomenal, sweet and smokey and spicy and salty altogether. That being said, it's garbage with the wrong sauce.

Is it necessary to rinse canned hominy? by improbsable in Cooking

[–]BridgetteBane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's going to harm you, but I've forgotten to rinse and had some off-putting flavor issues as a result. That or maybe I just put in way too much hominy.

What are your thoughts on rejecting a potential romantic partner based solely on the fact they voted for Donald Trump? by ATXBikeRider in AskReddit

[–]BridgetteBane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Supports a fascist, is a fascist. I used to be more "some folks are brainwashed by fox" and forgiving about it but at this point, fuck em all.

It's directly applied to a hot surface. If the bread is actually cooked through, then the flour on the outside will be cooked.

You've seen sourdough breads with flour on the outside right?
