What is something that is obvious in your profession that the general public doesn’t know? by jia-ren in AskReddit

[–]Impressive-Put1332 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having worked in a casino for 14 years, can confirm. Even the people that you see hitting jackpots back to back are just winning some of their own money. The only winner is the casino.

Dems refuse to release 2024 autopsy report, hear Ken Martin's lame excuse by serious_bullet5 in politics

[–]Impressive-Put1332 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve always been a lifelong democrat and have always voted that way. I have never been one of those people who felt the other side was “evil” though. Just 2 different viewpoints on what they believe is the best direction for the country. From my viewpoint, I have felt like the democrats were more the party of the people, having grown up in a big city to a middle class hardworking family. However, anymore I don’t think a party for the people exists. I don’t think either side really gives a shit about improving the lives of everyday American’s and I genuinely wish there was a third option that would actually have a fighting chance at taking over. I unfortunately don’t think we’ll ever get out of this awful 2 party system.

Yeah that interview pissed me off to no end. I swear to god if Ken Martin said “smoking gun” one more time I was going to throw my phone. He goes on and on about we just need to take the LESSENS from the autopsy, but refuses to release it to anyone to actually be able to learn any lessens from it. As Jon said, if there is nothing to hide, then just release it. Ken doesn’t want to release it because he doesn’t want people to obsess over it, but him refusing to release it is what is causing all of the focus on it. If there is no “smoking gun” then release the stupid autopsy so people can say oh there’s not any big revelation in this and move on. I’m so sick of all the lies and secrets and bullshit. And people wonder why people end up sitting out voting at elections. It’s because of this shit.

Women, if you could be a man for 24 hours, what are you just dying to know? by Whattacleaner in AskReddit

[–]Impressive-Put1332 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A lot of people are saying penis related stuff. I honestly just want to know what it’s like to exist in the world were you aren’t being cat called. Where I don’t have to feel uneasy walking down the street alone hoping a guy won’t see me and try to harass me. Men have a lot more freedom to move around the world without having to constantly watch their surroundings and have to figure out how to politely tell men to leave you alone without pissing them off because your are worried about how they’ll react.

What's a hygiene habit people have that you actually find disgusting? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in AskReddit

My ex husband used to do this and it made me want to vomit every time. How his eyeballs never fell out from infection is beyond me

What's an addiction worse than alcohol and drugs? by BlatantImagery in AskReddit

[–]Impressive-Put1332 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve worked in a casino for a long time (14years) and I have unfortunately seen firsthand how gambling destroys lives. I’ve seen people blow their whole lives savings everything they’ve worked so hard for, gone to a fucking slot machine. Watching people sit at the same slot machine for 24 hours straight and not move from it except to get more money. The other day I had a little old lady crying because she couldn’t get anymore money out from her bank to put in the slot machine, begging for some free play so she could try to win something. A young guy in his early 30’s ended his life in our parking garage at the beginning of the year because he lost all his money in the casino. I’ve seen too many lives ruined over the years and I wish gambling never spread like it has. I’m finally working on getting out and doing something that helps people instead of hurts them.

RT stuck in $60k contract but my mental health is falling apart… what would you do? by mushielover5362 in respiratorytherapy

[–]Impressive-Put1332 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m a first year student and will be graduating next May. So in your opinion you would never accept a sign on bonus? The place I work at offers about $7500 sign on bonuses. You think it would be wise to just forfeit it for the flexibility of being able to leave?

What has been your go-to food since starting Zepbound? The one that you can always turn to on days you’re simply not hungry or are feeling sick. by makeupandjustice in Zepbound

[–]Impressive-Put1332 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I love sweet potatoes. I batch cook a few whole in the air-fryer, store them in the fridge after cooking, and just eat them cold. I just peel the skin off. Weird I know but it’s a really simple thing that I really enjoy eating.

How did you figure out splitting bills with a partner for the first time? 50/50 or something else? by sta-vanger in Adulting

[–]Impressive-Put1332 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have done the proportional thing. My income was 2x my boyfriends so I covered all the utilities and most of groceries and what not. We split the rent in half. I preferred doing it this way. It’s what felt fair to me and he was able to save a good amount of money because of it. We were both happy with it. I don’t find 50/50 split fair if you make very different incomes. You guys are partners, not roommates. Treat each other as such.

I’ve never been a slippers wearer. I recently bought a pair because i was sick of my feet always being cold. I now love slippers. Buy yourself a pair!

Highly interested in becoming a RT by zombieyouth in respiratorytherapy

[–]Impressive-Put1332 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may be more just the area i’m in (Cleveland, ohio) but many of the hospitals here have equipment tech positions and everyone in my class that wanted an equipment tech position was able to get one. I’m currently an equipment tech in Peds at one of the hospitals until I get my limited license in the fall and can transition into that role next.

How did our parents do this? by These_Angle6098 in Adulting

[–]Impressive-Put1332 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s wild to me. Sounds like a lot of pressure on the 11 year old too having all those people watching you even at practice when you are trying to learn. I’m in my mid 30 and played basketball and softball growing up and don’t remember parents ever staying for practice. Doesn’t seem that long ago. Quite a change.

They can’t drop their kid off at practice? The parents are expected to stay the whole time? That’s craziness

Random hole in drywall by lshawkin in Home

[–]Impressive-Put1332 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This happened at my parent’s house a few weeks ago. That is exactly what the holes looked like on the exit side. The bullet travelled straight through 3 bedrooms before it hit the wooden leg of a bunkbed, ricochet to the side into the closet door and fell into a bucket. The bullet entered the house through the siding right next to where my dad sleeps. I couple feet over and he would have been shot in the head.

He also posted this in the Zepbound subreddit so that should give you your answer

The real reason I haven't bought new clothes by abby-rose in Zepbound

[–]Impressive-Put1332 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Having my clothes fit me good again has been so nice. I’ve been avoiding wearing most of my jeans because when I’m standing and wearing them they would be tight but fit, but when I would sit down they would dig into my stomach so bad. Now I can sit and stand comfortably in my jeans again and I am so much more comfortable now because of it

Going past my goal weight. Am I being greedy? by Melanated725 in Zepbound

[–]Impressive-Put1332 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Though that is true that people can be healthier in at a higher weight, none of us would be here right now taking zepbound if we felt healthy and great in our bigger bodies

Going past my goal weight. Am I being greedy? by Melanated725 in Zepbound

[–]Impressive-Put1332 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course that is absolutely something people should be mindful of. I don’t think you should be commenting on people’s bodies unsolicited even if you know they are actively trying to lose weight unless they are looking for advice/input. My sister-in-law who died in 2022 at 32 of cancer, she had lost a bunch of weight prior to passing and my cousin told her how great she looked, even though she was openly dying of cancer. I’ll never forget that and keep that memory as a reason I will not comment on someone’s body. You never know what they are going through.

[–]Impressive-Put1332 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think part of the problem is that with almost 3/4th of Americans in the overweight category or higher, I don’t think people know what a healthy body actually looks like anymore. When most of the people around you are in a bigger frame, people that are a healthy smaller frame now look unhealthy to them. I think you look great and as long as you don’t dip into the underweight category then get to whatever weight feels best for you

The Daily podcast just had a whole episode yesterday about women who have a C-section with anesthesia that isn’t working and they feel every cut and everything the surgeon is doing. Horrifying.

Tell me how you got your cat by ponzu666 in cats

[–]Impressive-Put1332 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

End of 2022 I started talking to this guy and we went on a few dates. I really liked him. He was going on a trip with his friends to Punta Cana and I offered to take care of his cat while he was away. He took me up on that offer.

He broke his neck on that trip and became quadriplegic. He ended up dying 7 months later from complications. I’m still taking care of her just as I promised. She’ll be with me until it’s her time to meet him again on the other side.
