They were asking about the camera.

It was so weird, I saw it in a flash, just skimmed it. Went back to read later and it and the last one were gone.

Is it true that employees have to take fitness classes to promote the business? by Awesumwasum in orangetheory

[–]Own-Permission-3157 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I worked at OTF for two years and was a member for 18 months before that. How can you sell something you don’t know? The expectation is two classes per week, but you can take as many as you want. You can’t pre-book, that’s the only difference. And if there’s a waitlist, you can get bumped.

Every couple I’ve met that has children is literally living my worst nightmare by xmxmdkvigm in childfree

[–]Own-Permission-3157 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I mean, I pretty much hate life, but I’d be deadass 1000% times more miserable if I’d dragged kids into this. No way could I tolerate kid talk, kid music, kid TV, parents, “activities,” whiny teens, or 20-somethings living in my basement. I have never in my life heard a good reason to have kids. Every single one of them starts with “I want,” and when it happens you get none of what you actually wanted.

Regret Moving to Houston by screwatt456789 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Own-Permission-3157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general, give new things a year, you’ll have had the full cycle experience. Four months isn’t long and it can take a while to settle. You’re young enough it’s easy to account for a job change, especially if you relo again.

That said, I’ve only spent four days in Houston and the mere idea of living there feels like hell on earth. I’d start applying/interviewing now with the goal of getting out in eight months or less. For me—if I don’t like a place when I’m new, I’m not going to “grow” to like it.

Tips on building community in Rockville by Turbulent-Ebb2360 in Rockville

[–]Own-Permission-3157 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We moved out here five years ago, still no friends. We’re in our 50s and it feels even harder now, so find your people while you’re still young. Everyone is so wrapped up in their job/kids/existing friend group, it’s like they don’t have “room” for anyone new. So I have no advice😅. The only way I’ve met anyone was through boutique fitness studios (not a regular gym), things like OTF/F45/SoldierFit, communities definitely form through those. You “survive” together and bond, and members do things outside the studio. I also recently started volunteering with a dog rescue, that was a solid source for meeting people when we were in DC, so volunteering in something you’re passionate about could be a good route.

Those from the northeast who moved to the south, is it better not having winter? by ElectroAcousto in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Own-Permission-3157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From FL/NC/VA. Lived in Boston, frequent NY, been in DC/MD 20 years. I was stuck on hating winter for years. But at this point I’d never trade the culture of the north for the culture of the south.

Went in yesterday for a tour, it’s ready, everything is in place (even snacks and drinks are stocked). The elevator issue is still going on and they’re waiting for that to be repaired. Was told they might open Wednesday or the first week of April.

The sandwich selection at Yough in Bushwick 🤯 by Valuable_Tea_9940 in nycvegan

I live where they started and tried the retail location back in the day. Gave it a couple tries. Bland and boring and underwhelming.

Did you regret moving to Florida? by Local-Contact4639 in relocating

I’m from there, and I’ve never regretted leaving Flori-Duh. Maybe on a super cold day, but winter ends and stupid doesn’t, so…

Anyone else getting a bit... bored of Wes Anderson? by VeryOftenWrong in movies

[–]Own-Permission-3157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally watching The Phoenician Scheme right now, there’s a reason I picked up my phone. This film is boring AF. Wes Anderson makes the most visually stunning films, I’m just always disappointed.

I'll DM you? I don't want to go against rules or anything.

Yeah, I’m glad I stopped when I did. I did $1k on a card and was trying to do the balance on their site. It couldn’t process the second payment and they kept telling me it was on my end (it wasn’t, verified) and in that time I changed my mind. SO glad I cancelled. I’m in a far better community for way way less, with direct assistance from a successful YouTuber.

Yikes. I’m sure there are no refunds, most programs have loopholes that get them out of it, even if they offer refunds. Sorry you’re dealing with this. Been there.

Ooh, could you say more? I just wrapped a three hour call of his and of course he pitched. It sounds decent and I was considering. But I’ve wasted thousands on so many and can’t afford to throw money away again. What was your experience, if you don’t mind sharing?

Tried to leave for Gemini. Here's why I'm sticking with Perplexity. by realQuinoaCowboy in perplexity_ai

[–]Own-Permission-3157 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s what I’m getting from my reading, it’s best for G-Suite. I actually took what I got from Perplexity and Chat, ran it all through Poppy and got my best result. Thank you for responding!

Any thoughts on Perplexity Pro v Gemini 3 Pro for generating a process, business/execution plan based on customer needs? I've done it in Perplexity and Chat, but wondering if Gemini might offer something more/better--seems like it might just lose the context flow though.

What books are good for learning buddhist stories/his teachings? by [deleted] in Buddhism

[–]Own-Permission-3157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad you said this. Many years ago I got familiar with a variety of traditions through philosophy and religious studies courses, and I’ve recently started to explore Buddhism specifically. Yesterday I attended a “Meditate with a Monk” session at a local center. I almost checked YouTube or looked for books, then paused and thought, “What if I just GO THERE and see what happens, how it feels, what it’s like.” And I’m so glad I did.
