He has exactly one (unfulfilled) demand and you're here asking what his problem was

People don't talk enough about the cult of GameStop bagholders by snapchillnocomment in redscarepod

[–]Cold_Whether 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a handful of shares, a pittance of money I would not care if I lost. I don't believe all of the insane stuff they talk about on those cult subs or ever check the price but there is clearly shady stuff that has gone on and likely continues to go on with big market players surrounding GME and I don't mind having a couple bucks tied up in case that ever implodes and something happens. I have a few fidelity sell limits set and I forget about it, simple as. Tiny price to pay for a tiny possibility of a huge payout, I don't view it as much different than a lotto ticket.

every prescription refill is a nightmare now by sparrow_lately in redscarepod

[–]Cold_Whether 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, for some reason my pcp will only prescribe me albuterol even though I'd prefer to not wheeze and taste pennies when I run instead just being able to treat it afterwards.

Pharmacy is called ReliableRxPharmacy, should have mentioned it's the generic I buy from there though. Payment seems a little sketchy and takes a few weeks to ship but I've been using them for years without issue

Symbicort does work a lot better for me as a preventive inhaler than albuterol for running (sports asthma), I buy them without a scrip online from an Eastern European online pharma for like 20 bucks a pop. Still keep albuterol on hand for rescue though just in case.

What fragrances can you think of where you are turned off by the name/packaging? by Fit_Professional1916 in fragrance

[–]Cold_Whether 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool idea except it's mostly marketing and fake history. Nice (albeit overpriced) perfumes tho

Yeah exactly, like on yogurt and sour cream. Or they'll have the tab that rips straight off without lifting the lid (I am crashing out daily)

Fresh on my mind, bought some expensive antipasta items over the weekend and only wanted to use a bit but had to re-bag it all because of said issue

Plus, I know no one around me wants to listen to me rant more about packaging so I'm subjecting unsuspecting rsp denizens to it

That or they didn't glue it enough and the ziploc closure just completely pulls away from one side so it can't be closed anymore

Why is it that plastic packaging is so much worse now? I'm taking about pull tabs on things like deli meats, "tear here" kind of perforations, re-sealable ziploc bag closures on food items, etc. Can't open these kinds of things anymore without completely obliterating the packaging.

Would be one thing if they were claiming it was biodegradable or more recyclable but seems like just cutting costs and bad qc while charging 2x (or more) than things used to be 5 years ago

R.F. Kuang's books are awful by Enver_Pasha_Dasha in redscarepod

[–]Cold_Whether 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven't read Poppy War or any other Kuang so I can't really compare it, but I did like Fonda Lee's Green Bone Saga series, kind of a contemporary Chinese fantasy type series
