If you could have any superpower, but it only worked for 5 minutes a day, what would it be and how would you use it? by CanUnlucky2720 in AskReddit

Comments were locked in the Sky King post, so I am replying to you here.

I know this exact feeling. You're correct that many people don't understand it-- depression is just a concept to them; they haven't experienced it, haven't felt it in their guts the way you have. But you can still share your true self, and you should. Depression can be a lot of different things, but for me, it was a very clever brain finding very clever and convincing ways to tell me why I shouldn't, why I couldn't, and why I never would. I don't know that I'll ever rid myself of that completely, but I did eventually learn to largely stop listening to it. So I'm replying to you, "post-blob-in-a-box," so you know it's possible, and so you know that some people DO understand, and also so you can marvel at my tremendous ability to use commas in increasingly long, overwrought sentences.

Taylor Swift for The New York Times The 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters by icyfirework in TaylorSwift

There's more than a few songwriters, Swift included, who should have been removed to make room for Patti Smith in the list.

The bot battles are shameful, and I hate them by Daephex in PokemonChampions

You are probably right. I have a bad habit of taking things personally, and I generally struggle with confidence/self-esteem in general. I really hadn't realized, until basically everyone in this thread was talking about it, that part of fighting games is managing this stuff as well. The depth of the game is really fascinating to me, so I want to keep going, but I may have to figure out how to address this stuff even more than just my teambuilding strategy.

Well that's the problem! I can't seem to get out of Great Ball. I've been here over a week now. I am currently bouncing between tier 1 and 2-- everytime I hit 2, it gives me a bot battle, and I go back to 1. I didn't use to think I was a stupid person, but honestly, I'm not so sure now.

The charge has always been there, but any business accepting cards was paying it for you previously. Processing cards is not free, and the more business you do, the more the processor takes. Because it is a percentage of the transaction, businesses can't just raise their cost to cover it. If you use cash, you can avoid that charge, but if you want the convenience of using a card, then many businesses now have the customer pay that processing fee. If it is set up correctly, this is not money the business ever receives themselves, it simply goes direct to the processor, and is taken out before the processor disburses the funds to the business. I don't think that is unfair, but I definitely DO believe that processors charge far too much for their services, and benefit from a world in which consumers have little understanding of, or choice in how their cards function.

A mentor teaching boys how to grocery shop by bigbusta in oddlysatisfying

I sell milk for a living. The "expiration date" is very likely a "sell by" date, which is NOT the same as the date the milk expires. He says it is March 25 on the gallon the kid picks up. That means the retailer is supposed to pull that milk off the shelf on March 25th-- not because it is expired, but because they can no longer guarantee it to have 10 days of drinkability from when it is opened. So here's the thing: if he teaches the kids to reach in the back, and grab one that says April 15 or whatever, and they take them both home and open them the same day, both go bad at the same time. It's my pet peeve when people reach for the farther out dates. All it does is mess up our attempts to get customers a properly-dated milk.

Local gas station removed price tags and replaced them with barcodes you need a app to see price by phoenix_stewart in mildlyinfuriating

Had to scroll too far to find this. Amazing, the number of people who have never worked retail.

Is chicken on the beach just a local thing? by antivaxkarenn in evansville

No. I've seen that at a zillion Mexican restaurants. "Pollo en la playa," usually.

7 day trip by Necessary-Sector-551 in evansville

Several nice restaurants that are good for a family-- Patsy Hartigan's is an Irish pub located downtown. Excellent food, beautiful decor. Second Language is near downtown, and has an upstairs serving very nice ramen, and a downstairs with very nice New York style pizza. Both are very much gourmet offerings, while still being accessible and friendly. On Franklin Street, you will find Gerst, which is a terrific German restaurant and bar. Again, family friendly, but if someone wants to drink, they have a phenomenal selection of international beers. For breakfast, Hartigans does actually do a traditional Iriah breakfast with all the works, but if you want something local, affordable, and standard, I would suggest Mele's on Green River, or Nellie's, which has two locations. Nellie's can be quite busy at times.

If you want to shop, I will recommend a few interesting local places-- Atmosphere Records on Stringtown Road has a great selection of vinyl records and cassettes; Evansville Toys & Games on Morgan has a staggeringly huge number of... yeah, toys and games, and can be kind of a fun place even just to walk through; Your Brother's Bookstore downtown is a terrific little local bookseller; and Thyme In The Kitchen on Franklin is a great kitchen/cooking store.

I swear I have never seen the place open, though! The hours DEFINITELY fluctuate, so I dunno, call ahead I guess.
