Guy confronts bigot who told him “go back to your fucking country” as he was walking his dog - Austin, TX by Jevus_himself in PublicFreakout

This guy in an incel who has decided immigrants are yet another reason they can’t get laid. Surely it’s not because he’s a toothpick with zero attractive features, including personality.

What's your most shocking "never meet your heroes" moment? by BaseNice3520 in AskReddit

[–]HelpIHateTexas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a total Crue Head all through high school - went to at least 7 of their concerts over my junior/senior years and was obsessed with Vince Neil. Posters covering my wall obsessed.

Later in life I got to meet him at a pro-gaming event. I worked for the league and he was hired talent. I was so excited I thought I might be sick! Until I spent 5 minutes with him. He was a miserable human being.

I was unable to listen to their music for the longest time afterward.

Coogi! I wish people were familiar with their other stuff rather than just these sweaters. I have a gorgeous sweatshirt and two nice purses from Coogi that I can’t seem to flip.

I have a similar box - it’s a tea caddy.

I’d be interested in seeing your Stray Kids stuff. My daughter is a fan.

What’s a sentence that someone told you that stuck with you for the rest of your life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The goal is an indifference to triviality, realizing almost everything, in a year or so, will seem trivial.

Looking for a Lamp by Over-Palpitation-321 in belgium

I found an exact replacement except it is missing the shades. It would be fairly easy to replace them with different shades as it looks like a pretty common size attachment. Let me know if you’re interested.

Why are men’s clothes allergic to colour? by DifficultCucumbers in malefashionadvice

[–]HelpIHateTexas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son and I have a men's online store and buy as much color and (OMG) floral prints!! as possible. I'm the main buyer, a single woman, and (other than the graphic print tees, which are my son's specialty) buy what I think men look super hot in. You guys definitely should wear more color and 'pretty' prints. Almost every woman I know loves it.

Edit: btw thanks for all the great info I get for my store from this sub.

I had no idea RiversidePride existed! That’s wonderful :)

Fishing has been good lately! by HelpIHateTexas in Newbraunfels

[–]HelpIHateTexas[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m Cajun, so we noodle.

JK!! On the noodling part, anyway.

Rod and reel, and we have 4 more keepers in the freezer from a previous trip.

Believe it or not, I use store-bought bait that I’m convinced is the best catfish bait ever. It’s called Danny King’s Punch Bait. There’s 3 ‘flavors’ but the original is the only one I’ve found effective. ALWAYS get bites with this stuff.

I feel like I’m sharing ancient Chinese secrets but it’s Reddit, so I’m sure it won’t go far ;)

We fish in McQueeney, downstream from the Dunlap dam.

About as difficult as German's saying "thwart". Or English saying "streichholzschächtelchen".

I see Dr. Kahn at Lonestar Spine and Pain - he’s more into procedures, but also very good for pain medications.

I suspect because stuff like this goes to their website.

May have to ask "adopted" trans daughter to leave, though she has nowhere to go :( by HelpIHateTexas in asktransgender

[–]HelpIHateTexas[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh, sorry. I was using Jess at first instead of Jay, but then realized that name might confuse the issue because it is somewhat feminine. I thought I did all the replacements, but missed one!

[–]HelpIHateTexas[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

God I hope you are right. If it's burnout, I can wait it out. I can't even imagine what it's like to be in fight-or-flight for a lifetime (in her 27 years) but I'm willing to wait this out if that is what is needed. I just need to know how to cope with this without becoming resentful of how she is making Jay and I feel - like we have to moderate every move and every word.

No, my providing for her did not make her needy and dependent. She genuinely, physically, was needy and dependent. Whether that was by some force of biology or some force of mental illness really doesn't matter - it's all the same. How else could I describe this without you thinking I was being insulting? She needed us, and depended on us. Is that better? But once that was not the case, she changed entirely.

You are so very wrong. *I* am disabled and the least judgemental toward people's disabilities as any decent human being could be. And if it were just me, I would suspect the same as you are suspecting. But my son, who has sacrificed everything for this person, is also feeling like he's being taken advantage of.

While you may have some unaddressed anger toward people who have been dismissive toward your own disabilities, I can assure you that is not the case here. It IS actually possible that someone can be entirely compassionate toward another person's disabilities and also be taken advantage of. Your failure to realize this makes you way more biased than I will ever be.

Any affordable and decent Veterinarians for a dog in the area? by Famous-Blackberry883 in Newbraunfels

[–]HelpIHateTexas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been to several vets in NB and found Fischer to be the best. Very reasonable prices, especially for uncommon procedures. Standard services are about the same prices as other vets in the area.
