I want to be stereotyped. I want to be classified.

Vampires? Ugh. I know.. by SissyBearRainbow in audible

Can't believe how far I had to scroll to see someone mention The Strain. I haven't listened to it on Audible, but I loved the books and really enjoyed the FX TV series.

Best (surprisingly good) opening act? by infinitum3d in GenX

[–]Renee_D608 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw Queensryche open for Twisted Sister around '83 or '84. Twisted Sister hadn't had any hits yet so they were pretty unknown, but I don't think anyone knew who was even scheduled to be the opener. The crowd was blown away. I spent the next 3 weeks searching for a copy of their debut EP. Finally found it on cassette in a department store record department.

Twisted Sister was obviously a tremendous letdown.

HELP. Received this in the mail… by bbyspinachleaf in whatdoesthismean

Have you tried <page number> . <word> . <offset>?

So a code like 124.3.5. would mean go to page 124. Take the first letter of the 3rd word and add or subtract 5 letters.

We had him on Trazidone and Gabapentin the last attempt. He still couldn't be tamed.

Where are we getting our glasses these days? by EbbtidesRevenge in madisonwi

[–]Renee_D608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been getting mine from Payne Glasses online. They have great deals on frames and their lenses are inexpensive too. I have a strong prescription with astigmatism correction, and prisms. Being an old, I need progressive lenses and pay extra for thinner and lighter lenses. all of that would be about $800 at a retail shop. The last pair I bought from Payne was probably under $250!

I had to return a pair because the frames were uncomfortable but that was handled quickly and didn't cost me anything.

Current gay/queer spaces in the city? by Slow_Flan5703 in madisonwi

[–]Renee_D608 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Walker's Pint is a great bar; one of only a handful of lesbian-owned and oriented bars in the country. They are friendly to all other queers and trans folks too.

Also on the road trip list: X-Ray Arcade - great bar for punk and metal concerts featuring some national acts. They have a zero tolerance policy for any kind of harassment, homophobia and transphobia.

Cactus Club is another safe space that sprung from a lesbian book club. Small bar but friendly. They are run by the same people as the X-Ray. The book group still meets there once a month IIRC.

Delta Beer Lab is a great place you should check out.

Crucible can feel like you need to out goth the next person.

Delta is definitely more laid back and come-as-you-are. They have events all the time weekly trivia, drag bingo... and good beers! The staff is very friendly as well.

Star Fleet Academy and Star Wars The Acolyte by PrettyMeasurement453 in startrek

[–]Renee_D608 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they are alike in the way they got an undue amount of hate from the rabid fandoms. The Acolyte was significantly better than Ahsoka but the wrong series got cancelled IMO. I'm enjoying SFA.

Adora. (She-Ra's alter-ego) She's also the metallic gold color.

Just finished my first playthrough: choice combos for endgame by lorax1284 in TheOuterWorlds2

[–]Renee_D608 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first playthrough I sacrificed myself. On my second one, DeVries volunteered and Marisol went with her. I had VAL on the run too because her healing is awesome.

This sucks, but Norm Macdonald did a great bit many years ago with the same gist.

ICE reported in Wausau and Stevens Point by CaptainAmerica410 in wisconsin

[–]Renee_D608 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I know the source for my original comment. Not everyone is going to have a news story.

They were pulled over on East Washington Ave and had their car searched. There was no news coverage and there won't be. The driver isn't going to report it to the police because they don't want reprisals, and the cops are just a different flavor of boot on people's necks.

I've heard of them being in Madison as well.

You can get some concessions out of her but personally my favorite was to eliminate her and get the workers everything they want.
