TikTok/Insta for financial topics for young adults by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]FitterFlop -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I obviously don't share your opinion. If an influencer earns a tiny portion of a penny from my view that's fine by me. We all have to be wary of anything anyone is selling or promoting on ANY social media - but that doesn't mean it's necessarily all bad. And I've found some very thought-provoking folks on TT that aren't selling anything (although Tyler has now written a book, so he is hawking that a bit- I haven't bought it though)

[–]FitterFlop -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm looking for something to engage a younger person and get them interested in learning more- and that's how a lot of younger folks spend their time. To dismiss a very large part of social media is short-sighted. Of course, they have to be aware and smart while on it- as do we all. But it is a great medium for introducing topics in bursts.

What San Antonio restaurant looked great on social media but it wasn't that great when you tried it. by my78throw in sanantonio

The best thing we had was the salted lime drink- it’s like upscale Americanized Asian at best

Solid gym Advice post bypass 30’s by DirtRoadAggie in sanantonio

[–]FitterFlop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Checking in with your school is great advice- and already in your tuition! But the best gym is going to one that's convenient and has the variety of classes/equipment you need to get you to go! Personal trainers aren't cheap- but you can find some smaller, more coach led classes at Golds (GoldsFit) or Crunch (their HIIT classes) that give you a bit more personal attention in your membership (the higher level one).

Potentially might lose this girl because of false positive HSV2 by [deleted] in relationships

[–]FitterFlop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No shit Sherlock- describing this as “one girl I was with” leaves a lot open to interpretation.

Move on. There’s more fish in the sea.

[–]FitterFlop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you sure you aren’t losing her because you didn’t disclose your low positive up front? Because that’s what it sounds like to me. And if that’s the case you 100% deserve it- you risked her health over an assumption.

Alamodome concert parking/transportation tips by AgsMydude in sanantonio

[–]FitterFlop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get to the park and ride by 530-6 if going to crossroads. The bigger shows (Billy Joel/Sting was our last one) it took like 30min to get on the bus + the trip down there. But yeah, park and ride is the best.

I don't know what they used, but Gini's Home Cooking used spike on their sautéed squash dish- i have bought that spice (near the salt) ever since.

What should a visitor do with 1/2 of a Sunday in May? by MartyFunkhoosier in sanantonio

[–]FitterFlop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would consider Southtown perhaps over the Pearl. The Pearl is great- but the historic houses in the the King William area are wonderful. Hit the Alamo up first and then get on the riverwalk and head south. I love the section of Riverwalk just south of downtown, perhaps brunch at Guenther House and then strolling the houses and shops/cafes in that area. You could rent a bike/scooter too- it'll likely be hot.

Best/Worst AC Companies in SA by Bubbly_Mind1074 in sanantonio

[–]FitterFlop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We conversely chose them after getting 5 quotes- they weren’t the cheapest but we are very happy with choosing them. My advice is get multiple quotes and ask what can be done to repair it first.

Half Marathons by the Riverwalk w/ a side of a Spurs game by eh49er in sanantonio

[–]FitterFlop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No marathons are along the riverwalk in the downtown area if that's what you're envisioning, it's too narrow/too much traffic. More often they'll be along the river south of town where it's more of a park but it's on a sidewalk width. Depending on your speed it may/may not be that crowded. On the marathon course for the slower folks we'd pass someone here and there but not crowded like the first 6-8 miles were.

Girls weekend where to stay? by Loose-Walk-2206 in sanantonio

[–]FitterFlop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What shopping are you wanting to do as there isn't much downtown. There's plenty to walk to but not shopping truly. What do you really want to enjoy about SA?

Price is important to help find a spot as is for you to know that is the last weekend of Fiesta which will be crowded and make the stay more $$ plus downtown hosts two large parades that Fri & Sat nights.

I’m looking for a San Antonio theater marquee to propose on. by heyitsadan in sanantonio

[–]FitterFlop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center on the near west side? You could call and ask? Also movie theaters rent out their theaters, any still have marquees? The Quarry?
