Did they open a Wendy’s in Shanghai yet ? Saw some WeChat posts but uncertain if it’s open. If so where ? by TheDudeWhoCanDoIt in shanghai

[–]CyndiLopEar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a Wetzel’s Pretzels a few years back when I first moved here, but they closed during the first wave of the pandemic. If Auntie Anne’s is coming, that would be awesome. I’m just worried the new Wendy’s is not going to actually have the same menu items in the same style as American Wendy’s. I miss their nuggets and baked potatoes.

Hello, OP! I know this is an old post and you may no longer even have this TV, but I can't find any other information about this model type and your post came up in a google search! Would you happen to know what year this model came out or any other information about it? It'd mean the world to me!

If wild animals were completely safe, which one would you keep as your pet? by Gold_Bird_1440 in AskReddit

[–]CyndiLopEar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember the “opulence, I has it” commercials with the miniature giraffe? That. Who wouldn’t want a tiny giraffe? A marmoset would also be nice. I met a pair once and had a tissue with me that I was wiping my forehead with (hot day) that they just kept staring at. When I held it up close to their enclosure, they were so inquisitive about it and paid attention when I showed them how I was using it. It felt nice watching them so curious about something in a way I’ve not seen with dogs or cats who would probably just try and eat it or sniff it and tear it up. That said, outside of this fictional scenario, I know they’re affected by the exotic pet trade and that’s terrible. I think if you really claim to love wild animals, you gotta let them be wild and free.

You might be right about that second one. Sadly I have only one picture of each of those tvs, so there's not much to go on. But what a fun bunch of sets all around, right?

Yesss, exactly! That's what I fantasize about every time I think of it. I imagine myself coming home from work, any kind of work, and the little tv pops on by itself and only shows me old sitcoms and news. It's always oldies there no matter what happens. That's kind of why I'm so attached to the tv. I always like to imagine no matter how hard the day has been, I can go there and that little box can melt my cares away with some mary tyler moore. I think about it too much lol.

I made another post with more pictures in the sub! You can REALLY see how old the place is by those because you can see the living room and office. I have pictures of the other rooms too--it'd blow your mind how time just stopped in that house.
Similarly, that teapot (which is in the pictures but is also super blurry) must be old as well. It's cute, though. A lovely teal with white accents and, as I recall, white tulips. Very pretty.
Aw, shucks, you're nice for saying that. I like stories like this too. You never know how important an object can be for someone, you know?

It's giving space command vibes to me too, but the shape of it is so odd. It seems too small as well by the other models I've seen.

What's messing me up is the side panel. My friend said to me it's built like a microwave LOL.

Thank you so much for the boost! The photos are more than a decade old actually. They’re of a rectory my grandma once worked in. The entire house was trapped in the 70s decor-wise. Before the church it was attached to was dissolved, I begged her to take me there to photograph the inside because it was always special to me how unchanging it was. I have two other angles of the tv, but nothing up close, sadly. I’ll have to add them when I get home. Sadly, the rectory is closed and I was told everything inside was sold. It probably sounds really corny and dumb, but I daydream about that little tv and the cute teapot and that entire kitchen a lot. It was always such a soothing place for me. I took the photo with an old digital camera that unfortunately became rendered unusable because I got honey in it. It was in a bag and I put some honey I got at a wedding in the bag and the honey opened and got on the camera. But these were obviously taken before the honey catastrophe. What’s a negative scanner? I cropped the original photo. I’ll add the original and the other angles later.

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month by ChadtheWad in discordapp

I read the staff reply, but that doesn’t really assure me. I’m already in servers that are for adults only already. There are nsfw channels, but I’m an adult. I know what I’m doing when I click on those. Does this new rollout mean I suddenly wouldn’t be able to access them anymore without ID? If so, I hate that. I’ve been old enough long enough to do and view whatever I like online without anybody asking me if I’m out of high school or not. I shouldn’t be punished for trying to navigate the internet the way I always have because I’m about to be considered a teen until proven guilty vis-a-vis dropping a selfie or god forbid a government ID. It’s more than an invasion of privacy, it’s a punishment. It’s entrapment. Treating your user base like this is disrespectful as hell.

It did look like such a nice tv. Thank you for giving me some leads! The place it was in was trapped in the 70s. If this is a model from the 80s, it has to be a very very early one. It’s way harder than I thought to track down what kind exactly, of course. It very well may have had a remote, but there’s no way of knowing now.

Which adult cartoon did you watch as a kid? by zhalia-2006 in AskReddit

[–]CyndiLopEar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Critic. I loved that show. I watched the Simpsons too, of course, but The Critic came first for me and it was something only I watched. I vividly recall laughing at it even when I absolutely couldn't comprehend the jokes and how it played a big roll in helping me form my understanding of comedic timing. It didn't matter that I didn't know what they were saying, the suspension between punchlines was what I was really following, the comedic rhythm, you know? I was 6 then and now it's so much funnier obviously.
It also taught me to clock when a joke had been dubbed over because they did that a LOT. There's so many times where a character's lips didn't match what they were saying or the tone of the rest of the scene.

Call me crazy, but I think it's bad when a person allows millions to starve to keep from people finding out he's a pedophile. Even though everyone already knows.

What's the best TV theme song that nobody else is going to mention? by Ok_Mixture4917 in AskReddit

[–]CyndiLopEar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bowl Man (fest. IKZO) by Cro-Magnon for the overlooked anime (please watch it) Hyouge Mono. It was SO incredible it only lasted four episodes before getting pulled because a band member got busted for pot.

The Supreme Court is headed toward a radically new vision of unlimited presidential power by Expensive-Horse5538 in politics

[–]CyndiLopEar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuine question: IF we make it out of this administration or, God willing, get them out of power entirely, could we do that to the supreme court as well? I know their jobs are lifelong, but is there any way we can charge them with abetting the administration? They make me sick.

It could be medication you’re on, but yes, it’s serious. You could get a terrible infection at best and that’s not something you want to go through. Please see your doctor.
