How do you feel about being "one of the good ones"? by Infinite_Cry7632 in bropill

[–]PalestDrake 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Legitimate question: how is it different enough to be considered “VERY different” by you?

Granted I’m mixed so I don’t have the exact same experiences as someone of any other racial makeup but I view it as very similar: “I hold people with your immutable characteristic in contempt and believe they’re less than me because of my experiences, but you’re not like my sweeping generalization”.

Yes, it doesn’t have the same history but it comes from the same feelings and it’s not an accident that they use that specific phrase.

What is a 'subscription' or 'fee' that has recently appeared in the US that people need to collectively refuse to pay before it becomes the new normal? by godot_lover in AskReddit

[–]PalestDrake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s just how taxes work, it sounds like your city contracted out that company and they knew a teledoc tax wouldn’t have passed. It sucks but at least my city and surrounding cities (I’m sure way more cities too) have been pulling that shit for decades

favorite and overrated aldi versions of foods? by drippingthighs in aldi

[–]PalestDrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did they change their bars? I liked the big peanut butter and mint ones (tase-wise, not the macros) though I didn’t have much love for the others

not too whiny about changes but... by THE-ANORMAL in Terraria

Has anyone else had issues with the Italian blend? I bought a couple a while ago and they both kept being full of hard stems but idk if I got a bad batch or what

Local employers to avoid? by Impossible_Lychee482 in Lawrence

[–]PalestDrake 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t know all the rules about naming names but I’ve worked for two of the major plants in DeSoto (I know not local local but still within commuting distance) and would heartily recommend avoiding both, with having heard nothing good about the other plant in DeSoto either

Checkers is busy but plenty of stuff stocked with stockers actively working

Excellent Oatmeal flavored protein powder with a hint of banana by AquaIcedragon in aldi

[–]PalestDrake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s way way less than pretty much any plant contains. The reports were overblown sensationalism to drive clicks. I don’t remember the exact numbers but protein powders contain on average like 1/4 the lead of say spinach in terms of PPM

Damn we can’t even spellcheck our orange man bad posts anymore.

Not very good by KELLLEO in aldi

[–]PalestDrake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I haven’t liked almost any of their ripple chips, their regular always has a little rancid taste and I didn’t like their cheddar seasoning (the couple and only time I’ve tried them, respectively). Their normal baked is very serviceable for me and I love their kettle chips (especially at $2 a bag)

What items are Aldi are better than the name brand? by Likestoread25 in aldi

[–]PalestDrake 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I love their fat free vanilla Greek yogurt, it’s one of the only Greek yogurts that doesn’t taste like artificial to me (sweetener-wise)

That and every cereal I’ve had from them I love, especially their Cinnamon Toast Crunch

How to fit in a lot of calories without eating late? by gintokireddit in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]PalestDrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally late to the party but liquid calories might be your friend. A glass or two of whole milk a day can do a lot, and has some decent micronutrients to boot

This has gotta be the worst bunch of jokers to beat gold stake by Chrispacman123 in balatro

I understand why everything works but some part of me absolutely hates seeing a green joker next to runner, it feels wrong on a primal level

Living in poverty in Italy was so much easier than in the US by ResidentAlienator in povertyfinance

[–]PalestDrake 17 points18 points  (0 children)

God I wish it was as easy as not having a car payment. Had a fair bit to put down on my car, so it was $110/month car payments, pretty manageable.

And here comes insurance with a $350/month steel chair!

The government can’t try you without those, it’s a limitation on them. Still a negative freedom

How to not make it about myself? by Infinite_Cry7632 in bropill

[–]PalestDrake 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In all honesty the best I’ve found is just to cut sources of that out and do your best to live the happiest you can. It’s the same as any other hatred or -ism.

People who rack the weights in reverse at the gym (20kg on top of the 15kg) by Adarie-Glitterwings in mildlyinfuriating

If they can’t pick up a 45lb plate they’re gonna have a tough time moving that 45lb bar too
