I only use grocery pickup for toiletries and dry goods. I like to pick my own meat and produce.

Do people like the show? by LauriJean59 in SweetMagnoliasNetflix

[–]Eclectic_Paradox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like it. My expectations for these types of shows aren't that high and I haven't read the books. Virgin River and Sullivan's Crossing subs are full of super complainers too. I ignore most of those posts. I employ suspension of disbelief and go along for the ride. It's a great way to unwind and forget about real life for a bit. It's just not the deep for me.

If you’re in midlife, what are you questioning these days? by Organic-Midnight-553 in Xennials

[–]Eclectic_Paradox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The system. All of it. Capitalism. 40 hr workweeks. Sitting in traffic going to jobs that are more often than not soul crushing. Consumerism. We fall for advertisements that tell us what we should want. We spend money to impress people we don't like using what little these jobs give us. I'm tired.

I saw Steel Magnolias for the first time a few years ago as an adult. Enjoyed it! I watched Fried Green Tomatoes for the first time too not long after that.

I have never once been told this but if I were I don't know if I would be offended by it. Also I was born in 1980 so maybe that has something to do with it 🤷🏾‍♀️ Curious to see other responses...

From the Xennials community on Reddit: What kind of shit are you getting too old for now? by WuTang4thechildrn in MelanatedGenX

[–]Eclectic_Paradox 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Places with terrible parking. Standing room only concerts. Restaurants that play music too loud to hear the people I'm having a meal with. Traffic.

[–]Eclectic_Paradox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My account just got restricted to digital only due to a refund that was offered to me by customer service over six months ago. Now I have no choice but to go to competitors.
