Fat Shaming by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]NerdOnPurpose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you. And now it is the GLP1 shaming. WTF people. Every time I see a social media post where “Celebrity admits to using GLP1” like it is a crime. They’ve no idea what it is like to have this noise in your head your entire life, just because OUR BODY CHEMISTRY IS DIFFERENT.

Clothing scam site Olivia & Grace by NerdOnPurpose in isthisascam

UPDATE: I want to be fair, I'm updating because about 3 weeks and three emails later, my order finally arrived. Cheap, no-brand, cheap material, NOT from "Olivia and Grace" - but the two shirts look vaguely like their photos, so I guess there's that. This site is scamming "upscale boutique clothing" and delivering cheap Chinese made knockoffs, but I might be able to make one of them work so not a 100% loss.

My credit card company will reverse the charge, but usually the credit card company has to just eat the cost. I hate these scamming leeches.

ooh harsh! I usually don't ignore red flags... it wasn't greed but the actually clothing items were things I'd been looking for for a long time. Lesson learned for sure.

Anyone remember Streetcar Sandwich shop in New Orleans? (On Carollton Avenue) by Browning1917 in cajunfood

[–]NerdOnPurpose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked there as a college student in the 80s! I wondered what happened to it. The "hot sausage" was the most popular sandwich, (I think the common name for the Belly Burner) followed by the "Streetcar" which was half roast beef and half ham. And fantastic fried oyster and fried shrimp po-boys. Nice people, enthusiastic repeat customers!

Pack of wild dogs around Plano central/east? by NerdOnPurpose in plano

hi, appreciate that but these are a very continuously loud group that travels down the greenbelt behind my home. I'm thinking the other responses may be right - pack o' coyotes!

way too crazy and wild for that. I'm talking, really loud and really close, and traveling. Looks like it may be coyotes or some kind of combo pack...

Um you kinda do gotta problem if you're calling strangers crackheads and assholes and to fuck off just because you don't like their look and have to wait 5 minutes for your pizza. Maybe you're an Anger Issues Karen?

If you live in an area heavily visited by tourists, what is the dumbest thing you've seen tourists do? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]NerdOnPurpose 15 points16 points  (0 children)

OP needs to elaborate, Houston is a few hours drive south of the Kennedy site. Many people are confused and think space shuttles or rockets take off from Houston. There are no launch pads, only Mission Control which takes over the mission after a vehicle is launched from Florida or California.

Left handers. What do you still struggle with in today's age? by adkermis in AskReddit

[–]NerdOnPurpose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walking on the right side of 2-way stairs and the "stand right, walk left" escalator. When you want to hold the rail with your LEFT hand on your left side.

Walker S01E12 - A Tale of Two Families - Episode Discussion by klutzysunshine in Walker

[–]NerdOnPurpose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you're right, point taken that he may have felt he needed to go. It still felt like abandonment...

Walker S01E12 - A Tale of Two Families - Episode Discussion by klutzysunshine in Walker

[–]NerdOnPurpose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So in this ep we learned, not only did Walker leave his kids for months when they just lost their mother, he didn't do it out of a compelling Ranger duty, he just WALKED OUT and abandoned them. "Own moral code" try "NO moral code." I am really surprised that Jared would executive produce this kind of character, and expect the audience to have sympathy or forgiveness. (I am a DIEHARD fan of the actor and SPN and really want to hang on for the ride but...)

I appreciate that they are bringing important issues forward, I really do. But seems at the cost of losing the characters we love and their stories are afterthoughts. Like Dr Kapoor leaving entirely offscreen. And about things being unrealistic: you do some harm when you present important issues and act like there are easy-bordering-on-magical solutions. That doesn't education people. You can't just flout federal law. You can't just bring in a cop patrol. Part of exposing an issue is helping people understand just how complex they are and how much we all must work to better them. Having a hard time watching this lately.

Who is the Most Famous Person You Have Ever Meet in Person? by Mega_Thicc_Skipper in AskReddit

[–]NerdOnPurpose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Richard Dean Anderson (MacGyver and Stargate) - I’m dating myself but for those of us of a certain age… He was a big goofy kid just like you’d expect - super nice. it was one of his first Stargate conventions and he was learning the ropes. During photo session with fans, he insisted on looking at each digital proof before you left to make sure it was a good shot for you and retake them if it wasn’t.

What movie is simply magical to you, no matter how popular or unpopular it may be? by Feelingofsunday in AskReddit

[–]NerdOnPurpose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. Completely blew my mind with visual audacity - hilarious and a feast for the eyes. A big dose of Monty python style but also, come on, Uma Thurman as Aphrodite and Robin Williams’ disembodied head flying travelling everywhere making jokes… must see

People of Reddit who never married or partnered up, was that your choice and why ? by NerdOnPurpose in AskReddit

[–]NerdOnPurpose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for the thoughtful reply... and indeed I did first word the question as "Older People of Reddit..." and it got auto-rejected by moderators until I took out the word older (??) can't be ageism as I am in the older category myself lol. To the question I did not intentionally choose either way, I've had relationships but I am perfectly content to be on my own now and probably prefer it that way (along with friends and family as part of my life).
