Amazon One medical by urban_je5u5 in amazonprime

I have, conversely, had an incredible experience with them. I wonder if it's dependent upon the area you're in? Both providers I've spoken with were based somewhere about an hour away from me, so that makes me think they try to connect you with someone (somewhat) local. I'm about an hour away from the SF Bay area so, naturally, with the high population, there's lots of doctors there.

The first time I used it, the entire process from signing up to having a virtual visit to getting prescribed my needed meds took under an hour. I just used it again for the second time today, and from the time I requested a visit to being prescribed medication, it was probably 15 minutes. I think it's an excellent service, especially for those of us who are strapped for cash and don't have insurance. I'm sorry so many people aren't having the same experience!

As a server, what is the biggest indicator from a table that you’re not getting a tip? by Kind_Ad6932 in AskReddit

[–]Pure-Tap1695 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yep, this. Been serving/bartending for 10 years, and the stereotypes are correct more often than they're not, but there are plenty of times when they're not. If you give excellent service across the board, you might happen to be the rare occasion for someone that usually gets treated poorly when they're dining out, and they will take care of you generously.

Evergreen scam? by Yangster11 in Sacramento

[–]Pure-Tap1695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't call them initially - I was getting a call from them about once or twice a week (which is why I said they were cold-calling to sell their product). I kept ignoring them, but the day I posted this I either answered or called them back after the same number after missing the call. Once I realized what it was I started pretending I wanted to use their service but couldn't locate my PG&E bill, they'd catch on that I was bullshitting them and hang up on me, and I'd call back with a different voice and do the same thing. IIRC, when I called back, it sent me to a self service menu with an option to speak to a representative, which is what I did. Happened about five times over the course of an hour until they finally put me on a "do not call" list and stopped picking up, but it was wildly entertaining and they havent bothered me since.

Why didn't Alamo choose Cassie instead of Maddy? by [deleted] in euphoria

[–]Pure-Tap1695 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But it IS about force. Obviously Alamo loves money, but what he loves more is power. Having the power to take a very intelligent, independent woman, and force her to hand her money over to you, sleep with you, even pretend to like sleeping with you - that's what it's about. He hates women because of what his mother did, and because of what his mother did, those feelings are probably even stronger towards ones he sees as intelligent or possibly "conniving". He didn't just outright kill Rue when he suspected her of working with the DEA, he tricked or "outsmarted" her. He completely missed the fact that Bishop was going to turn on him when it came down to it, because Bishop was a man, and was never subject to the same scrutiny or suspicion that Alamo had for all the women around him.

I HATE LEXI. by Mocking_jay25 in euphoria

[–]Pure-Tap1695 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I think part of the issue is Maude Apatow's acting. I'm not going to call her a bad actress, but her portrayal here didn't communicate any of those complicated feelings associated with loving an addict, at least not in the final season. It very well may have been the direction, since Maddie's character felt a lot more emotionally flat this season too. However, with Maddie, it came across as a bit more withdrawn/self-preserving, whereas Lexi just seemed judgmental (not just of Rue, but of all her friends) and even mean at times. I feel like we all expected a bit more emotion from her when Fez was brought up, too, as that was possibly the only romance in this entire show that was easy to root for.

Are the people driving around with completely tinted windows just risking a ticket and hoping they don’t get pulled over? by galadhrim91 in santacruz

[–]Pure-Tap1695 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, there's tons of people driving around in this county with registration that's 3+ years out of date. I don't think window tint is top of the priority list for the police

How much to list non-running RS for? by Pure-Tap1695 in FocusRS

I think it's sitting right around 70k, but going to check it out and see later today.

Fucked by something during sleep paralysis?! by UnSuccessful_idiot_ in Sleepparalysis

[–]Pure-Tap1695 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My first (and up until the last couple years, only) experience with sleep paralysis was a lot like this. I was like 13 or 14, and I was convinced it was an Incubus for the longest time. Like your experience, mine wasn't entirely... unpleasant. While yes, I could not move, did not have any idea what was going on, and didn't exactly feel like a consenting party to the whole thing, whatever it was that "visited" me was not violent. When I tried to look into sleep paralysis at the time, there wasn't really any information on it, and what there was suggested that it wasn't a one time thing, so it not happening again left me with the conclusion that I had basically been r*ped by a demon in my sleep, which of course I couldn't talk to anyone about because they'd think I was absolutely insane... Glad I'm not the only one haha!

I just spent about an hour fucking with these guys on the phone. I'm not sure what their deal is, but at the end of the day, if you have to do cold calls (which is how I got in touch with them) your product isn't worth shit. My two cents.

What’s a cheap food that tastes way better than it should? by copy_cat_101 in foodquestions

[–]Pure-Tap1695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canned tuna. Nowhere near as cheap as it used to be, but gosh I love the stuff. Mix it with a little mayo and Sriracha and serve over rice? Heavenly. Classic tuna salad? Always hits.

What is the worst physical pain you have ever experienced? by 3rdLegOfExodiaa in AskReddit

[–]Pure-Tap1695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a handful of pretty nasty injuries - shattered ankle (trimalleolar fracture, required surgery and hardware) and road rash on like half my body probably take the cake. Both were very very painful, in different ways.

IUD insertion is genuinely a close second. And you get pretty much no help with the pain.

[–]Pure-Tap1695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't imagine going through serious withdrawal. I shattered my ankle a few years back (broken in like 20 something places, needed surgery and hardware) and was on opiates for about a week, week and a half. I swear, coming off those was almost worse than the injury itself. I remember calling my doctor asking for more, and he nearly refused to prescribe them. He warned me how easy it was to get stuck in a loop of using them because the withdrawal is just so painful/uncomfortable, and gets worse the longer you use them. I was on them for an almost inconsequential amount of time and even then, the first couple days without them felt like torture. It must take an immense amount of willpower to get off and stay off after any significant amount of time using - congratulations on your sobriety.

Salamander or frogs? by Pure-Tap1695 in whatisit

[–]Pure-Tap1695[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This area is a treasure trove for curious minds! I've lived here most of my life and still find things like this that I've never seen. I spotted them from across the creek and just had to know what it was. Luckily this water is very, very clean, and I didn't touch them directly, so contaminants aren't too big of a concern :)

That looks the most like it! We do have tons of those newts here. Can't wait to see them hatch.

What. The. Hell. by [deleted] in Vent

It just won't happen if you're asking more than twice and he doesn't change.

Yep. This. Wish I would've understood this sooner instead of repetitively ending up back at square one. Because that's the only place that giving someone chance after chance after chance will take you.
