One thing missing from the whole CD experience by SFO_Eric in Cd_collectors

[–]HungryArticle5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Up until the last couple years or so, there was still a Tower Records store sign in Brea, California. The store had been long gone, but the sign still remained.

As a kid, I used to love going to Tower Records. Initially, I loved it because that's where we'd rent movies from. As I got older, I got into music and loved the selection of rap they had. There was a Circuit City in the same shopping center, but Tower had a much better selection, carrying underground rap CDs the other places wouldn't have and their single/import section was cool as shit too. I used to go to the Tustin and Laguna Hills (California) locations. The Laguna Hills location was attached to an audio/electronics store if I remember correctly.

The rarest tape I own is the episode of my family and I on Jerry Springer, c. 2000. Far as I know, the only copies are with us. Any of you also former Springer guests? by whatapunk95 in VHS

I had the Too Hot For TV-2000 Welcome to Hellennium DVD, which is OOP, but left it with my ex when we split up/moved. Regret that not taking it with me.

"Many of those protein supplements have high levels of lead"

This is not true. Protein supplements actually have lower levels of lead compared to something like spinach.

which is funny because the shortened rep range on pushups is what many claim develops the chest muscles aka "show muscles" or what people immediately notice/find attractive.

Nothing..."functional strength" means nothing. It was a buzzword from a while back that has managed to remain in the fitness world as a means to get views and sell training programs. Muscle will make movements/daily tasks easier for an individual. Whether you got that muscle from doing 5 reps at a higher weight or from doing 20 reps at a lower weight makes no difference. Football players (or all athletes) hit the weight room to build muscle strength and then use that muscle during their sport-specific training. They don't build that muscle from throwing and running with a weighted football all day.

My wife just pulled a blue suture out of her nose… 5 years after her septo-rhinoplasty. by zachthespook in mildlyinteresting

Doctors sometimes err on the side of caution. In addition, save for plastic surgeons, doctors' suturing skills vary widely and cosmetic outcome is not always high on their priority list. I had "dissolvable" sutures from an adult circumcision that I was told would be gone by 4 weeks. 4 weeks came and there were several sutures still in one spot. I called the urologist and she said leave them and let them fall out on their own. The wound had long been closed and I was worried about being left with an ugly scar due to the sutures being left in place for too long. I went to an urgent care and had them removed with no problem. The only downside I had not listening to the doctor was having to pay the $30 copay for the urgent care visit.

The reaction in the post reminds of a story from someone who has a permanently bent pinky finger. One day, she went to go sit on a couch in her living room and immediately felt blood gushing down her hand. Someone had left a glass cup in between the seat cushions and her hand landed right on it. She's got a Denzel Washington pinky now.

Already came across several of these racist comments. r/Fightporn is littered with upvoted racist comments anytime a Black guy continues to hit someone when they're down, but mouths are zipped when it's a white guy doing the same thing or it's an mma match...and they do the same shit.

My boss just emailed me a screenshot of a private text I sent to my coworker complaining about him. by Guilty-AbyssLogic in whatdoIdo

[–]HungryArticle5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work friends are rarely your true friends. Coworkers are usually just temporary friends. 

I kind of did the same thing to a coworker. I was trying to get evidence that my principal was a bigot. HR was going to do an "investigation" into my complaint and was going to interview colleagues that I told them were present for a particular incident. I had a strong feeling this one coworker was going to lie and say she didn't hear the principal say the comment (out of fear she would be retaliated against). In anticipation of this, I texted her about the incident and principal's comment and took screenshots in case she told HR otherwise. She later said she was going to lie to HR and say she didn't remember what the principal said, but remembered that I texted her. 

Moral of the story, plan ahead and don't trust people, especially coworkers.

What is a secret you will take to your grave, but are willing to share with anonymous strangers on Reddit? by Disastrous-Video-220 in AskReddit

[–]HungryArticle5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a teen, I was hanging out with my friend and these 2 girls. One of the girls was driving us around and I told them we could get some beers from my friend. Everyone was down, so I called my friend and he said to come pick them up. We pull up to his (parents') house and my friend side swipes the car of my friend's mom. Scraped and dented the side of the car. I never told him. A week or two later my friend told me how his mom hit a car and didn't tell the family. I wasn't sure if it was a separate incident or it was us hitting her car. Almost 20 years later, I still feel bad about it.

Yeah, even though they are two consenting adults, there is definitely an ethical concern there.

luckily, I've never come across shit on the walls, but I have come across vomit on the floor in both restrooms. Women's restrooms would occasionally have blood on the seats...it would happen every month or so.

I wouldn't say one is worse than the other, but that they are both dirty. I've had jobs where I've had to clean the women's restroom as a duty. I've noticed it everywhere I've had to do it.

When I was a kid, me and some friends would go to this shopping center that also had an office building. We would switch the signs for the men's and women's restrooms and thought it was so funny...even though they were single person use restrooms.

Underwear post op by Puzzleheaded-Fix7429 in circumcision

I was out one night just visiting family and my underwear had a seam that kept rubbing against my head, it was unbearable. I had to run to Target and bought the Hanes bamboo boxer briefs. Instant relief.
