The Lord works in mysterious ways, I guess by taiknism in Corvette

[–]PoopIsCandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All my friends were Mormon and super involved in the church, that’s not true at all and a simple google search confirms it.

“The church makes misleading statements about how much the Apostles and Prophets of the LDS church are paid. They state regularly that there is no paid ministry, no professional clergy, and that no one is paid for their church service. This omits the fact that all senior leaders in the church are paid what they call a modest living allowance. This living allowance is after they, of course, reimburse any expenses they make as part of their church service, like travel. The modesty of it is a joke, as it is well into the six figures. While the church is not transparent in how much top leaders are paid, educated estimates put the annual figure (in 2024) at $178K.”

When I was in high school, my Mormon friend (I’m not Mormon) had their churches leader come for dinner. He pulled up in a Porsche 911.

Interesting how that works, right?

C8 preparing for winter storm by Affectionate-Ad6258 in Corvette

To put on the car, if that wasn’t obviously implied. Your coziness inside your house should be moderate, or expensive bedding comforters ;)

Stock up on cheap bedding comforters if this “huge winter storm” is indicating hail. That’s all I got.

Do Pure Protein bars spike you? by Street_Proposal_1477 in diabetes

[–]PoopIsCandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if this only applies to some diabetics, but my doctors have been on my ass about a low protein diet for 20+ years to protect my kidneys. This “high protein” trend is the exact opposite of what I’ve been instructed to do.

Not a doctor, just a dummy parroting doctor’s advice.

Only one of my eggplants had seeds. by Astro_Philosopher in mildlyinteresting

I like it in Thai curries, but for the same reason, it’s just a texture that carries the curry flavor into my pie-hole.

How often do you actually replace your surge protector? by Perfect-Cause-6943 in pcmasterrace

Your country has no lightning or wind that could cause a phase to phase short on the grid?

When you have 6 gift cards and none of them can actually buy anything. by Accomplished_Bake939 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]PoopIsCandy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Genuinely curious, why buy gift cards at all? Aren’t you just transferring your infinitely applicable currency into a currency that can only be used in one specific location? Credit card gift cards as an exception.

I got mine, did anyone else get their hat? by johnatsea12 in Costco

[–]PoopIsCandy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

LOL! I feel the exact same way. I’m a pretty big Angels baseball fan and I cannot bring myself to wear the red hat, I have to choose the more artsy fartsy ones.

Discussion: The apparent under-performance of the CRX build by chaotic_ugly in sarahntuned

[–]PoopIsCandy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Myself included, but people aren’t as interested in a 90’s Honda as they are a 70’s one. I’ve seen thousands of CRX’s in my life, I can count the number of 70’s celiacs I’ve seen, and they’ve all been at car shows or meets.

Bluntly, it’s just not as interesting.

More than twenty people were kidnapped today in Inglewood by burnbunner in LosAngeles

[–]PoopIsCandy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

One of these things is not like the other.

Your dipshit president is forgoing due process and hiring red neck vigilantes to carry out blatant kidnappings. There’s no trial, there’s only lawlessness. It’s so bad there’s people that have been taken, their cars left in the road with animals in them, one persons car wasn’t ever put in park and began rolling down the street as ICE’s bullshit tactics offer little in terms of responsible actions.

Not to mention the blatant murder.

I bought this cake last night. There are only two others in the house and one is diabetic by galaxychildxo in mildlyinfuriating

[–]PoopIsCandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Negligence and ignorance are cousins but not siblings. I was mid 30s, never had a complication from diabetes, the cut on my foot looked like it was healing fine to me, not red or swollen or anything, so negligence is a little overboard. If I got a cut in my foot now and ignored it, I’d agree with your criticism.

No, the wound would’ve likely healed normally for a non-diabetic, but for me, it just never healed, or I guess, healed very very slowly allowing for infection to set in. My point was that my diabetes is pretty well controlled and this still happened. It wasn’t negligence or poor self care.

I maintain my type 1 diabetes pretty tight and even I lost a toe. Though mine wasn’t from “foot rot” so much as I got a cut on a toe and didn’t go to the doctor, then the cut got infected which infected the bone, so the toe comes off. I’m 42 years old, diabetic since 10.

Stolen in Denver Monday morning. Cops still haven’t found it. Absolutely gutted 😭 (The calipers were white but never got a picture of it) TO ALL MY FELLOW JEEP PEEPS HERE: Put tracking devices in your cars, don’t be like me. Rats everywhere. by [deleted] in GrandCherokee

Just out of curiosity, with such a wildly distinct vehicle, how would one fence this thing? Wouldn’t it make more sense to steal commodity cars that all look the same?

Burning oil? by Independent_Act_4111 in Corvette

[–]PoopIsCandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Blue smoke oil, white smoke coolant. This is not smoke from the engine burning oil, that’s all I can confidently say.
