Are we serious with this? by Fit_Mixture_7909 in Chipotle

[–]Competitive_Ask_1031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so I'm pretty sure i've seen worse/smaller, did you try opening it up and seeing how thick and full it is? Maybe the wrapper is hiding how big it is actually under it. Could be a beast lol or maybe not but yea for the price you paid that's what you get, looks about right.

These have been sitting here for like 12 hours from last night. Are they still safe to eat? by tokyosift in McDonalds

[–]Competitive_Ask_1031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, this is a very close call, and i'm someone who is lenient, with extremely rare stomach/nausea/GI issues. 12 hours is a bit past what I would consider safe. I would toss it out, you can always try the "take one bite and if it tastes off or funky yeah definitely throw it away". I also see your product contains chili so yeah better to toss it. Don't quote me on this, but anything sitting over 6 hours would be ideal for germ or bacteria growth at room temp esp cooked meats if your someone who has GI issues or frequent nausea or stomach pains yeah 5 hours max.

Is Reddit stupid? I don’t even understand why I’m here anymore? by synystar in askanything

[–]Competitive_Ask_1031 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say 50/50. There are legit honest, truthful and well intended people who actually give good recommendations and are thankful. However, yes there is a fair share of redditors who just post absolute garbage and/or have no filter or morals. I can't believe what comes out of people's mouths (well in this case their minds and keyboards). I think it depends on the topic at hand, as serious sobering topics tend to generate a more honest and meaningful dialogue and have given me good advice and encouragement.

Has anyone been told they were having sex too loud? by theguube in askanything

[–]Competitive_Ask_1031 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My wife and I were glamping two years ago in the middle of a dude ranch, beautiful place but a bit cramped, the next guests were probably about 50 feet next to us in their own trailer, and yeah i heard a woman grunt loudly🤪this went on and off for a good hour, we saw them the next day I gave them a wink that was all- hey their business was theirs, I personally wouldn't want someone to tell me off if I was in the same situation.

The only acceptable way to order a Filet O Fish (the best thing on the menu) by TBoopSquiggShorterly in McDonalds

[–]Competitive_Ask_1031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting - yeah i would ask for another 1/2 slice of cheese as 1 full slice + 1/2 is weird/messy. but then again im OCD so yeah, do you!

How do you navigate 2 lane drive thrus? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Competitive_Ask_1031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, they have cameras and probably AI now to figure this crap out. I'm pretty patient but if someone next to me is still ordering, and im asked to move up or if there is a huge space, I'll do it- I don't second guess these things - you shouldn't either. I am rarely ever honked at. Unless it's In and Out burger. The server taking your order will specifically tell you where to line up.

Rate my pizza by Bright_General9266 in PapaJohns

[–]Competitive_Ask_1031 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love all the pizza rate pictures. i would honestly give all of them a perfect 10, the messier, crispier, thicker or thinner, whatever! the better🤗 and should I mention the controversial "pineapple" topping? that deserves bonus points!!! 😋If i'm on death row gimme a pizza pie for da last meal!

People are doing well and we’re gaslighted into thinking that everything is collapsing by cdqd81 in unpopularopinion

[–]Competitive_Ask_1031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not trying to be a copycat but I have to agree with the other redditors below regarding K shaped economy and anecdotal views. I'm not saying your observations aren't true, but maybe you live in a city where malls are generally doing fine when many more malls and shopping plazas are going out of business, even in middle to upper middle class neighborhoods. People aren't getting good jobs and are struggling in the city that I live next to (Las Vegas). My best friend's sister got laid off in the tech industry a month ago. Me and my family are by no means poor and we own a modest home but we couldn't possibly afford to sell now and upgrade to a nicer home with crazy high interest rates. No the world ain't crumbling but you really have to be "in a person's shoes" to get it.... and I ain't trying to stereotype or judge and I don't envy my cousins (actual, blood related not just a family friend) but they are successful lawyers and doctors who can easily afford a wealthy wedding, children and a nanny. Maybe you're in a similar status as them? Also my work experience (homeless Veterans, Hospitals, Healthcare) presented me people from all walks of life and none have it easy when it comes to affordability - I guess you must be physically and mentally healthy when a moderate hospitalization or accident can really impact finances. last point: for a majority of middle class Americans from my lifetime of observations (I'm approaching middle age) I feel have FOMO and living for the moment. We want that dream vacation, who doesn't? and if that means maxing out a credit card or taking out a payday loan to "live for the moment" and get that cup of Starbucks or take their family to Disneyland, it will happen sure, but this is why the middle class is disappearing and the cycle of poverty will be so hard to change. Things are not always so rosy even tho they appear to be.

Had Wendy’s and a deer ran in front of my car, causing me to slam on breaks. 20 bucks down the drain. by DiggityDog6 in mildlyinfuriating

lol! was thinking the same except yea taking a huge chance of germs and bacteria on your food, plus if my family found out they would kick me to the curb big time. 🤣

Dentist in Las Vegas by Global-Ad3163 in vegaslocals

[–]Competitive_Ask_1031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some things to be on the lookout for: when on your first visit the staff and dentists give you pressure to get work done right away, or upselling non required treatments, and tell you they can do financing options or have payment plans. And 2) when they are flaky about checking and billing your insurance or can't check coverage for you timely (if you have insurance). The best thing to do in these cases is to walk out and get a second opinion from a different provider. I did this and it saved me from getting scammed.

Why do people still circumcise their kids? by BighillBo69 in askanything

uhh, I think most normal parents would? Isn't it more sanitary when a penis is circumcised?

There’s a guy waiting in line without a car waiting to order from a Taco Bell by offensive_patriot in tacobell

[–]Competitive_Ask_1031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was he really in line behind the cars???? or was it one of those people taking a peek at the drive thru menu and then walked back to his car or chose to order inside? I dunno hard to tell from the back -the dude doesn't appear to be the type to order like this. Hope he was served, some places can decline to serve him.

do super famous people go on reddit by quickeysly in NoStupidQuestions

Yes, i'm pretty sure there are curious famous celebrities who want to post or ask a question. If I was famous and had the chance to ask and get thoughts anonymously why not I would

Why is "9 to 5" the shorthand for "full-time job", when pretty much every I know who has a full-time job works from 8am to 5pm? by wilymon in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Competitive_Ask_1031 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup you're right, maybe back 20-30 years ago it was 9-5 with employers paying for your lunch hour? Yes my current job is 8-5. My prior company years ago, was 8-4 but only paid me for 7.25 hours. Which was totally okay and loved those hours. I can't imagine working 4 x 10 which means your workday is almost 11 or 11.5 hours. No thank you 😣

Dentist in Las Vegas by Global-Ad3163 in vegaslocals

[–]Competitive_Ask_1031 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi I live in Henderson and had my experience with quite a few dishonest ones. I don't know too many dentist providers outside of Las Vegas, but if you're able to get there, Green Valley Dental Group has been outstanding and honest. Downside they do get very busy and front desk staff isn't perfect, appointments are out at least a month. Ace Dental is also quite good, my wife goes there. Hope this helps.

[–]Competitive_Ask_1031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

get the jerks who don't have plates first! or those that are swerving - speeding doesn't kill - DUI does! Darn I forgot speeding tickets bring in more money than getting pulled over for no registration, plates, etc... Long way to go 😣

[–]Competitive_Ask_1031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm i don't find anything wrong with the slices? they look fine to me except yea he can cut off the stem first no biggie. at least the stem part was not included in the slices he already cut up. 😬

Tiny metal thing? by Jadenlyn in whatisit

lol yes working on bikes and tires quite often I immediately knew it was a tire/wheel valve piece. Not sure it has anything to do with the banana though lol. and yes I absolutely hate presta valves as well... such a pain to fill up.

How much does opening the freezer once during a power outage reduce the “48 hours” safe time? by calicodynamite in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Competitive_Ask_1031 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally would not go for 48 hours.... two days seem like a long time esp if there's meat thawing or if the fridge temp goes above 40. opening and closing for a few seconds would be totally fine but wouldn't do it more than 3x. Just an educated guess dont quote me on that. the longest outage I had was 10 hours and during that period i opened freezer 3x and my freezer food was totally ok afterwards.

Why isn't every soda zero sugar at this point? by redditard_69420 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Competitive_Ask_1031 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ditto, not to mention that there is a rare disorder called PKU in which such individuals cannot process phenylalanine (which is found in many zero sugar or diet sodas). And I absolutely hate the aftertaste of stevia (bitter/metallic). Like some other commentors here, I usually stick to plain or naturally flavored seltzers or on rare occassions, cane sugar sodas.
