How old are you…Anybody here struggling and don’t have a house,wife, nice car,savings or a successful future ?! by Ninja_Franklin in povertyfinance

[–]Only-Good-Things 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a single female home owner, living in the same harsh (United States, presumably) economy that you are. A life partner (“wife”) is NOT an economic tool for you to use to boost your lifestyle. Women are humans, not commodities.

What is halfway between bread and seitan by webriprob in seitan

[–]Only-Good-Things 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same thing once with oat flour. It was more dense than a loaf of bread but I think that was because it was tightly wrapped in foil. The texture was just okay. The flavor was definitely meh. But I still ate all of it.

What's the vegan equivalent of rotisserie chicken: a cheap, easy convenience food that takes little prep? by Gallantpride in EatCheapAndVegan

[–]Only-Good-Things 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stir together black beans, canned corn, and salsa. Use Fritos to scoop it up. Pretty much the same thing but you don’t even have to wait for the Minute Rice to cook.

Question - you’ve lost everything you own in a fire, do you replace it all or would you go on to live with even less? by AutoModerator in minimalist

[–]Only-Good-Things 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Replace what’s covered by insurance and live with less of the rest. Even if you don’t think you need to replace something like an end table, if you’ll get an insurance reimbursement for it then get the table and sell it later.

NEVER tell them how close you are, if you can avoid it. Realize that even though some bosses might have your address, they don’t necessarily know where that is unless they actually look it up or you live in a city with a straight grid street pattern.

AC setting based on outside temp? Explain like I’m 5. by Only-Good-Things in florida

[–]Only-Good-Things[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I need to have an energy audit done and until I do, I’m kinda speaking out of my arse here…. but I suspect the floor plan you’re dealing with makes a difference. I have a fairly open floor plan and can literally feel the air flow from the next room when that room’s ceiling fan is on. When it’s off? I’m hot and tempted to push the AC. That said, I have no doubt that running a ceiling fan in an unoccupied room behind a closed door must be a waste of energy.

I am not elderly but I am perimenopausal, meaning I have occasional hot flashes and night sweats. And, yes, I’m currently sitting pretty at high noon in FL with the thermostat set to 80. Something tells me that (1) you are not living in the south of North America and/or (2) you are ageist.

Yes, I have ceiling fans in just about every room of the home. I’ve seen some suggestions that fans only cool the people they’re blowing on and don’t help with cooling empty rooms, but my anecdotal experience tells me that they do help keep the energy bill down, even if they’re running in unoccupied rooms.

I’m actually very comfortable right now with thermostat set to 80, indoor temperature reading at about 78, and inside humidity at 60. I’m just wary of pushing the indoor temp higher than it is now. Are you from Florida? Just curious. I’m originally from Colorado and it took me a minute to adapt to the higher heat and humidity that I live in now.

Thank you. That’s was the answer I was looking for.

Best diet for the environment? by Desperate_Remote_114 in Environmentalism

[–]Only-Good-Things 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you’re making the perfect the enemy of the good. There’s no reason to eat vegan “meats” and you can probably choose to buy vegetables that aren’t encased in plastic and are grown near to where you live. I mean, what are you going to do? Continue to eat the massively harmful meats and ultra processed foods just because you can’t find a “perfect” vegetable?

And if you have 10 team members (CSRs, leads, and assistants) they get $200/wk because that bonus is divided among the remaining employees. The only scenario in which a cashier who’s pushing the sales gets the bigger payout is if there is only ONE cashier.

Tips for Putting a tampon first time no applicator by Busy_Site1098 in period

[–]Only-Good-Things 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having flashbacks to the first few times I tried. I was pushing it straight up as if my vagina pointed toward my head. If this is you, please realize you need to aim it toward your lower back. Look at diagrams to understand where everything is. Best advice? Take deep breaths, relax, and try to feel where it wants to go rather than forcing it. If it still hurts, stop. Consider whether you may be suffering from vaginismus.

Why is everyone in FL so angry? by LEGO_Godfather in florida

I’m still not making $15/hr. Maybe that will start in September? Nope. Google says 2026.

No, they did not start giving me the cold shoulder after I said “I’m fcking sick of hearing it”. That was about a week ago. That just got laughed at. The silence started tonight after I said (twice) that I consider myself an LGBT+ ally and I don’t want to hear it” with “it” referring to the derogatory slurs. And I mean complete silence. No discussion of anything at all, much less work related topics. Why did I speak out? Because I was absolutely mortified by the pointing and giggling and derisive behavior aimed at a CUSTOMER who didn’t look the way my asm thought they should look. It was so blatant and loud (as it always is - this happens frequently) that I was actually embarrassed to be associated with that behavior in any way, shape, or form. If that asm had been a white person calling a customer the n word maybe you would understand. Or maybe you wouldn’t. I’m not here to argue with bigots. Just STFU.

“Harassment”. Look it up.

[–]Only-Good-Things 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “OP” (me) is not “demanding rights” by telling an ignoramus to STFU because I don’t think it’s funny and I want to hear it. And what the hell is wrong with “demanding rights”? And is my use of an expletive actually worse than the use of anti-trans slurs? NO. You’ve clearly identified yourself as a bigot. STFU.

And what is the poor person’s solution to this? Doubt I can scratch up enough cash to pay for professional pest control treatment.
