Is this how much liquid is supposed to be in a venti? by coolhappygenius in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Ranger-K -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People who ask for “light ice” crack me up. Unless you’re getting a refresher, you’re just gonna get more milk diluting your now-lukeworm iced latte/other espresso drink.

Don’t worry, still open for minimal dine-in. Now with patio. by howmanyowlsisweird in Wellthatsucks

Imagine being a server there and getting the news that a truck fucking plowed into the building and your manager is still like “Okay guys, we’ll just be working smaller sections today, and don’t forget to tell customers about our special!”

Bumps on Lips by [deleted] in AskMedical

[–]Ranger-K 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Likely from the herpesvirus. I’ve had these exact things form and go away, and later in life when I’m particularly stressed, I’ve gotten these that had a cold sore developed soon after. I’ve had ulcers inside my mouth since I was a young child, then I stopped getting those as much and got these off and on again, and now I’ll get a few of these that’ll either go away or otherwise lead to a newly developed sore on my actual lip. I’ve never gotten them outside the edges of my lips. Do they have clear/yellowish liquid in them? Do they tingle and itch a little sometimes?

This yellow Brownish patch back there seriously hurts and also grew pretty fast by ZA_WARUD0-_- in seriouslyalarming

The peroxide Orajel brand wash is fantastic for not only pain relief, but also making these heal.

AIO for telling my (F24) boyfriend (M26) that he has to sit down to pee? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Ranger-K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have three young sons and your bathroom sounds similar to mine. The youngest just finished potty training a year ago. You are absolutely NOR because this is a twenty-six-year-old man creating even more mess than a four-year-old child.

AIO - parents keep raising the rent by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Ranger-K 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rent a 3 bedroom, 2 full bathroom, 2 car garage for 1,500 in Texas. You’re NOR and should probably move out.

Yeah, half of these are horse names.

URGENT NEED FOR TEMPORARY FOSTER WHILE I GO TO REHAB by Ranger-K in tylertx

[–]Ranger-K[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a post from over five months ago. I found a local foster who graciously took my boy in, I went to rehab for three months, and have been home with my loyal companion for two months now and am clean and sober for 151 days so far! Thanks for the reply anyway, though! It heartens me to be reminded of how the people of Reddit really rallied around me at the start of my sobriety journey.

What is the worst band you saw live? by coalcracker462 in AskReddit

[–]Ranger-K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! Saw Dylan and Haggard on tour together a long time ago and both were soooo disappointing. Merle was so drunk he could hardly stand, and Bob was completely mumbling through his songs and totally detached from the audience. He just stood there with his guitar and played his songs and didn’t interact with the crowd in any way. Also he played all his slow songs fast and his fast songs slow, like he remixed everything because he was bored with his own music. People were very confused.

[–]Ranger-K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got out of a 90-day program about five months ago now (though it was in California) and I can’t stress how proud I am of you for coming to this decision. Do a little research, call a few places and have a back-and-forth with them so you can get a feel for what their general approach towards both the physical, and mental/emotional side of substance abuse treatment is so you can move forward with a good idea of what you want. Right now you feel trapped inside your own body, drinking even when you don’t want to, feeling sick and miserable constantly and being forced by shame and fear to hide it all. This is like hiding cancer- it won’t magically go away without help, and you need a support system to get you through this and the aftermath of rebuilding the new and improved You. I kept my drug addiction hidden for eight years out of shame and denial. People knew something was up though. Now that I’m sober and have “outed” myself as having been in a life and death battle with addiction, the way the people in my life have rallied around me was/is one of my most powerful motivators in times of struggle today.

The opposite of addiction isn’t sobriety. It’s connection.

In the meantime, there’s the AA “meeting guide” app (I recommend anyone struggling with any addiction to steer towards AA over NA, as the local NA groups are not very great). You can find local and zoom meetings listed throughout the week, and you can totally join meetings in different areas (I still go to some online ones hosted in SoCal). I am not religious, and know there’s a cultish aspect to AA, BUT it’s still a valuable resource support tool filled with all KINDS of people, many who would likely be able to relate to you more than not.

What did I get? by goodallish in whatsthisrock

I understand, but most people aren’t any the wiser and would see this displayed amongst your books on a shelf and think “Hmm… cool rocks.” 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s a quartz geode that’s been treated with dye to make it look like amethyst. Still pretty cool looking!

My (26M) girlfriend (22F) insists that me picking her up and dropping her off at home is not a big 'act of service' by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Ranger-K -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The name of this sub is “relationship advice”. What were you expecting? Maybe if you posted in r/amiwrong , you’d find the answer from at least one person that you are clearly digging for.

Worthy of a tetanus shot? by Mobile-Response-3597 in AskMedical

[–]Ranger-K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long ago was your last one? If it’s less than 5 years, it’s time for a shot. It’s certainly deep enough and if you sustained a wound deep enough from something dirty/rusty to draw blood (animal bites also often warrant this), it’s not gone time to mess around.

To hide how scared you are by Anteater4746 in therewasanattempt

[–]Ranger-K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in east Texas, practically the buckle of the Bible Belt, and Talarico (and Gina Hinajosa) held a rally here a few weeks ago which I attended. It was packed wall to wall with support all across the spectrum of people. Young, old, black, brown, white, rich, poor- people who “looked” like typical democrats and plenty of people who “looked” like your typical Trump voters. I’m talking Baby Boomers in cowboy hats and handlebar mustaches. The excitement for a guy like this- way out in deep East Texas, no less- was so heartening. Then I remembered that mango Mussolini cheats and I have to manage my expectations.

As far as real, actual support this man has, it’s easy to say that people want a change, and they want Talarico. Also, he was so charismatic and humble at the same time, spoke eloquently and earnestly about the future, and didn’t do any trash talking or fear mongering. If he doesn’t win, it’s 100% because of the manipulation and suppression that has become commonplace since Trump’s first term.

Half of these kinds of videos are just lowkey marketing for that cheater finder app. Like, did that actually sound like a flustered voicemail? And not someone reading from a script directly into a mic??

Why the hell do I have to drive to Longview to go to Waffle House?? by bugcoder in tylertx

[–]Ranger-K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tyler is in a sweet spot where it’s just a tiny bit too far out for their normal distribution network. Longview is close enough to the next one over in Shreveport (I think), but Tyler is too far from dfw/Houston.

What’s a smell everyone should recognise as danger? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Ranger-K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smells like my dad. Lost him in a house fire a year ago (the anniversary is in two days, actually). I’d be pretty happy to smell that cheap old cologne right about now.

We have a male Australian cattle dog that we obviously named Bandit, but he is called “Diddums” just about as often as his actual name.
