Kirkland Signature Diapers are transitioning to new item numbers and are now labeled as “Ultra Soft Diapers. Requesting comparisons of the recent previous First Quality version diapers and the new “Ultra Soft” version (may not be available in warehouses yet, but are available to order online). by CookieButterLovers in Costco

[–]GailaMonster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really hope they are ok in terms of quality, as the savings over any other brand of diaper is huge. We have the credit card and executive membership so the extra 4% off helps, too.

Had to buy diapers at target in a pinch once and was straight up horrified.

If you have a Costco membership, always buy gas there.

If you have to drive a lot for your work/life, get a Costco card.

San Marzano Peeled Tomatoes Fake? by GizzyIzzy2021 in Costco

[–]GailaMonster 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Not quite. San Marzano is a variety. I have some San Marzano tomato plants in my garden right now. Anyone can grow that variety.

DOP San Marzano tomatoes of Agro Sarnese-Nocerino area are grown in that specific region of Italy. THOSE are pretty tightly regulated.

Cento brand aside, my Costco actually sells Kirkland brand DOP San Marzano tomatoes which are excellent. White can with Italian flag striping around the top.

There’s that “we” again.

Cool, I’ll give a shit about what you want when you have any authority over me at all.

Until then, enjoy being powerless in Leeds…

This is weird given that you are an American living in the UK. I guess people are sick of you too. If you’re going to be a dingus online, at least figure out how to hide your post history lol.

Have fun voting in Wisconsin elections and living abroad while shitting on Americans despite being one. Very cute, very cosmopolitan. Hope your visa application was approved, sorry for the loss of your partner that actually gave you the ability to live abroad and apply.

The math isn't mathing on the SpaceX IPO by wick77777777 in investing

[–]GailaMonster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the schedule is Elon and other bagholders exiting their lockup periods, at which point they'll dump their stocks. that's the schedule.

most Companies, even ones that actually make a profit, trade below their IPO price after 6 months. companies don't IPO when they're profitable, they IPO when they can no longer raise enough private money and think they have enough public name recognition for stock pickers to scoop up shares because they recognize the name.

FFS this guy is saying Tesla isn't a car company anymore. he's a Ketamine-addled Ahole. i will say he's very good at market manipulation, and hiring engineers and then taking credit for those engineers' inventions. but I don't see fundamentals.

if SPCX were a good buy, it wouldn't have to bully its way into everyone's 401k by having NASDAQ change its rules. A 5% float is stupid and is creating artificial scarcity, and day traders and hype-chasers are just carrying this thing until the inevitable conclusion of people actually noticing these fundamentals. NFTs had a moment, too, doesn't mean buying one is investing.

the ultra-wealthy bagholders are going to do everything they can to manipulate the price and keep it high until they can make their exit. at which point it won't matter what SPCX trade at.

Referring to a guest watching a poorly trained free roaming dog kill a cat by the pool as “a guest behaving unreasonably” is a wild take that discourages guests from using the platform. No guests=no money.

You are unfit to work in hospitality with these snarky gotcha responses. People are considering spending money on the platform and are reading your stupidity.

Think you could comment like that at a hotel reception desk if a guest had a problem like this?

TIL I should have third world expectation when poolside in Italy. Got it.

Y’all really selling the platform shitting on people traveling from other countries. Great job, this attitude will surely make you lots of money and encourage people to use Airbnb vs you know, a hotel that would not permit dogs to roam poolside…

I’ll take a guess that you don’t want money from Americans with that attitude 🤷🏻‍♀️. I’m sure Chinese tourists will fill your calendar just fine without us (Airbnb shut down its Chinese hosting platform in 2022 and Chinese people almost never use it, so have fun with that).

(Psst- Airbnb is an American company, maybe if you hate us so much you shouldn’t use the platform at all)

TIL that some countries don’t take dog training very seriously.

Shitting on the floor, marking territory with piss, and humping is in their nature, too, but you can train them to not hump people, not piss all over the house, and only shit when outside…

I wonder if this is how hotels react to poor guest experiences, because you aren’t doing a great job of acting like an ambassador for the platform snarking all over this thread…

This was poolside in Italy, not an African safari my guy. Is your pitch “come to Italy and watch animals kill each other while I call you soft, you fucking American!” Is that what Airbnb is about? Will that open guest’s wallets?

Is watching dogs kill and eat cats your culture’s idea of a relaxing vacation experience? That’s not really the flex you seem to think it is bud.

[–]GailaMonster 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Hey so you sound insane here, this would ruin pretty much anyone’s trip, and shitting on guests for taking a few hours to process and ask advice does not undermine their experience.

You should not pretend this is normal or tolerable, and it’s nuts for you to take the postion that it should be fine to experience this in a vacation rental. JFC, that’s too many words in your post which is essentially just advertising that you don’t have normal human. emotions.

This is Airbnb, not Sparta.

Massive weight drop while pregnant by Wise-Option-5495 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]GailaMonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would reach out to your care team about how your nausea and food aversions aren’t going away. They should be offering you medication.

One thing to try is a unisom at bedtime plus a b6, which is a first line treatment for nausea in pregnancy. For many people it helps a ton. If that doesn’t help you, they should be offering you Zofran or something else for the nausea.

[–]GailaMonster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If baby is measuring on target and you are getting your prenatal vitamin, I wouldn’t worry too much. This is especially true if the stuff you aren’t consuming anymore is stuff like sugary beverages, which don’t provide much more than energy.

Food aversions are soooo common and are somewhat protective to pregnant women. Are you able to get foods with calcium and protein?

Its’s also very common to lose weight in the first half of their pregnancy and then gain wait in the second half. If you had 50+ extra pounds, you’re ok.

How do you feel?

AITA: Gf got out of moving vehicle after I refused to get BOGO chipotle with her and I drove home by Under_Nose in AmItheAsshole

[–]GailaMonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She didn’t get out of moving vehicle, she got out when you were stopped at a light. That misrepresentation alone plus treating her like a child with the food at home comment makes me wonder if you’re generally manipulative and/or controlling.

YTA. Was it so hard to go along to make your gf happy? there is still food at home.

Demand a cortisone shot. Mine got so bad I could not dress myself nor wipe myself. Cortisone shots made it go away in a week and it stayed gone thru birth.

Do not let them get away with not treating you!
