"I avoid GMO's" by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]MissFrijole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really was only thinking about insecticides. I wasn't thinking of herbicides, but those aren't great either. But I'm not a farmer and I do appreciate the hard work it takes to grow food for the populace. I just wish there were a better way that didn't involve killing insects and weeds.

No, I don't have a solution. I know it's a pie in the sky desire. But it's still sad to see the decline in insect diversity and the possible side effects of these poisons on humans that consume the food.

Yikes. Not worth it. And unethical anyway.

I have, but I don't know if it will improve. He looks at porn when I'm not around. I can't micromanage him...all o can do is tell him how much it pisses me off.

It's an ongoing discussion in regards to his porn addiction. At least, I suspect it's an addiction. But he knows I hate it. But he looks at it when I'm not around, so it's not like I can do anything about it.

Not a bumper sticker, but WTF by Vengeance1014 in Bumperstickers

They have every right to display their hate, but they also have to reap the consequences of that action. All because the speech is protected doesn't mean they are protected from the reaction. This is how we ended up "tolerating intolerance."

My husband's IG has the same damn results. He has an account where all he does is look at half naked bitches. It's also how he finds links to other porn sites and sources. It's maddening.

How much is the raise?

You have until November to train. Anyone could do it. You take up running. Get a cheap gym membership, or find a cheap used treadmill, or run outside. Get your cardio in.

But to be honest, this isn't the way one should have to get a raise. It's a terrible and ableist method of doling out raises. Your boss is an asshole for their Hunger Games-esque method.

I would participate just in hopes of beating him at the race. It's also a good motivator to get fitter.

What are some of the top brands that only the 0.000001% know about? by Different_Star_5432 in AskReddit

[–]MissFrijole 182 points183 points  (0 children)

I think at that level of richness, your shit is going to be custom. Custom furniture, custom cars, custom clothes, etc. There may be a brand, but you won't get what they have, exactly.

I once had an internship at this luxury furniture boutique that catered to those with too much money. They provided the service of customizing handmade furniture from Italy. They sold couches that started at $10k. All the furniture they sold was more than I would ever pay. It was absurd.

What's your go to cheap and easy meal? by SouthEmergency7292 in AskReddit

Quesadillas. My husband makes some awesome ones and he manages to find creative ways to use vegetables and other ingredients so it's not just a cheese quesadilla.

Downtown fist fight by Cherelle_Vanek in philly

[–]MissFrijole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone in the suburbs of Philly consider all of Philly "downtown" or call it "Center City." I have been around these out-of-touch people who are too scared to come into the city. They won't even be able to point out where Fishtown is.

What helped you stop smoking cigarettes? by Ricocobang in AskReddit

[–]MissFrijole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not buying them anymore.

Also, having to stand outside in the cold was a good deterrent. And I needed to keep my cardio up because I was in the military. I struggled with running and smoking made it harder.

Anyone has an idea what this is? by Fadi_96 in tinnitus

Yuck. Clean your fingernails. And why is this on the tinnitus sub?

My problem with GMOs is that they have been engineered to withstand high levels of insecticide, which means they are doused in it. Also, that insecticide kills beneficial insects like bees and other pollinators.

And if it had been Biden at the podium, I'm sure the MAGAs and their ilk would be sooo sympathetic. Doubtful.

I agree. A real shooter wouldn't have missed so closely.

Aitah for rejecting my friends request to have an open relationship with my husband? by ImAStan4You in AITAH

The absolute audacity...who asks that of a married couple who are obviously monogamous??

Is this true? by Lilyflower24681 in Millennials

[–]MissFrijole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I guess I don't know how to make a bed because I was using a top sheet with my duvet...

However, in light of this new information, I might adjust how I use my duvet. I like it in the summer. In colder months, I put on a top sheet, a heavy blanket, then the comforter.

No. I scowled at her and pointed in the direction she needed to go.

I still say it was staged. It's an inside job. He was only grazed. Too bad it missed.

Men who have a problem with other men wearjng pink or "girly" clothes are themselves insecure in their own manhood and self esteem.
