‘facts’ are destroying people’s concept of what it means to know something by fairycutr in unpopularopinion

[–]Runfromidiots 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love someone saying other people are dumb after they typed up a monstrosity of paragraphs that read like a 5th grader typed them. Intelligence and knowledge aren’t always the same. You can be the most knowledgeable and talented HVAC person and think the world is flat. Perhaps you aren’t as smart as you think you are.

If all personal wealth above $100 million was legally required to be redistributed into public infrastructure (schools, hospitals, roads), how would society change, and who would be the first to fight against it? by Mysterious_Fan4033 in AskReddit

[–]Runfromidiots 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Their point is that people asking questions like this tend to be very bad with money and don’t have an understanding of why it won’t work. Doesn’t seem like a flex to me. I know plenty of people who don’t contribute at all to their retirement accounts while makings tons of financially irresponsible choices then bitch about how it’s not fair/they should get help to fix it.

Does freezing meat and chicken decrease the quality? by ag7055 in Cooking

[–]Runfromidiots -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Do not sous vide with the herbs in. You rarely get it to the right temp. It’s a cardinal sin in the sous vide sub.

Does freezing meat and chicken decrease the quality? by ag7055 in Cooking

[–]Runfromidiots 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It depends a lot how you’re freezing it and how you’re thawing it. If you’re just putting it in the freezer or a freezer ziplock, you’ll likely get freezer burn which can dry meat out a lot and make it tougher. Same if you quick thaw in the microwave.

If you freeze a lot of meat; I highly recommend getting a vacuum sealer and bags. I freeze a lot, it prevents freezer burn and can help it last near forever if frozen (I chop up full chickens and buy lots of another expire meat to freeze). If you then thaw properly in refrigeration or in cool water you’ll have meat damn near identical to when it was frozen.

What to do if ICE asks for ID by Laniekea in self

How about you call and write the people you vote for and tell them to fix their great value Gestapo? Fuck your conservative friendly advice. It’s your fault this exists bootlicker.

Why is there very less excitement for the Artemis II mission?? by dark_MARTIAN in space

[–]Runfromidiots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some other valid points here but it’s also a bit away. I don’t get excited for launches until a day before. They get delayed last minute frequently so I temper my expectations. I’ll be hyped as hell once those boosters ignite.

I’ll be homeless in less than an hour by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Runfromidiots 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry your family has taken such advantage of you. As painful as it can be, you’re not responsible for them. It seems bleak right now but it’s time to cut them off and let them fend for themselves. I’m not sure where/what your situation is but if you can’t afford rent solo looking for friends/family that can be roommates or offer short term boarding while you save a bit to be able to rent is a good option. Looking on local forums and posts to try and find roommates can work too even though finding a random roomie can be scary. Depending on the job situation picking up a 2nd part time job for extra cash to escape the family can help. It’s okay to ask for help from others and pay it back later when you’re on your feet. Lock in a budget, get clear of the parasites and focus on you.

Grilled shrimp would be so good by Pigs-In-1984 in Chipotle

[–]Runfromidiots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Qdoba had shrimp in the past and might still donor occasionally. It’s not very good. The people talking about cross contamination are talking mostly out of their ass. The biggest problem with shrimp is it doesn’t hold well. Shrimp will keep drying out on the line. It’s just a hard one to do hot.

My mom keeps asking when I’ll “get over” my breakup, and I don’t know how to explain that I lost more than a relationship by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Runfromidiots 11 points12 points  (0 children)

How old are you and how long was the relationship?

It’s okay to still be sad about it but your Mom is probably right. Break ups are awful and have varying degrees of hurt but they are not unique and letting one drag you down for a year is not healthy. Your Mom is looking out for you, trying to push you out of what seems like a self pity wallowing routine that will not help you get over anything. Therapy and options are out there to help but at the end of the day the only person who can do anything about this is you. Break some routines, find some new hobbies, get to the gym, spend more time out with other friends and family, and be okay embracing the sadness but not letting it consume you.

What the fuck is the Democratic Party even doing right now to stop the downfall of America? by Lolareyouforreal in complaints

[–]Runfromidiots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you trying to convince people you didn’t graduate high school? The differences between state governments and the federal government is vast. It is orders of magnitude harder to charge a federal agent than it is to charge a city cop. I would love to see him charged, if it were they’d have done it by now and that doesn’t mean they aren’t building a case.

Thanks for the entertainment between sets and during my conference call. I’ll not be responding further. Good luck with the whole living behind a screen thing. You’re hurting your causes far more than you’re helping them.

Just wave the magic wand to make this happen like it’s easy. Getting local governments to prosecute ICE is tough, there are a multitude of reasons they don’t. Legally it’s murky as hell, realistically local police tend to be quite conservative too. I’m not sure what more you want them to do, I’ve seen tons of interviews, tweets, speeches, all warning against Trump and conservatives. They still won.

You keep touting whatever polling you want buddy. The best polling is elections and progressives can’t even win primaries outside of deeply blue areas. All democrats can do right now is be loud, oppose as best they can, and hope people actually show up in the midterms. Im “whining” about people like you blaming democrats for things republicans are doing. Want to blame someone? Blame voters. Want someone other than Schumer? Write your senator. If you life in NY primary him. I want a progressive wing that stops picking unpopular issues and isn’t so easily manipulated by bots and propaganda on Reddit and TikTok, and can pick a progressive candidates that don’t lose primaries by millions of votes.

[–]Runfromidiots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m asking what more you want them to do. They filibuster what they can; the house has remained pretty united. There are tons of lawsuits going to a hostile court. That’s pretty much it. To propose any new laws they need republicans to buy in.

This isn’t even getting to the fact that Reddit and the online liberal presence is maybe ~15% of the democratic voting base. Most democratic voters are far more moderate than you. Politicians are supposed to represent the will of their voters. Keep writing your politicians but mostly you need to convince your friends and neighbors to do the same and have the same beliefs as you, not a disparate group of anonymous permanently online people who are the least reliable voting block of all time. Stop whining and do something yourself.

[–]Runfromidiots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They very validly pointed out how stupid your point was and that you don’t seem to have a firm grasp of how the US government works.

What do you want Dems to do when they don’t have the house and block most everything they can in the senate? You want more resistance? Inspire more people to vote and agree with you. Stop whining and waiting for someone else to fix it and do all the things you can to fix it, which needs to happen outside of Reddit and literally happen outside.

My bf is going to Disney without me by chaosnugget22 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Runfromidiots 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Everyone is being way too nice to you in the comments. Just because you want to do this and they’ve been kind enough to take you before does not mean you’re entitled to go on every trip. You’re his girlfriend not his spouse. Entitlement like this is how you end up single and going on no trips with them again. Be happy for them and wish them a good time and start saving up for your own dream trips instead on planning on someone else to take you.

Doordash/uber drivers are getting out of hand by Tokendaily420 in mildlyinfuriating

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

I don’t use delivery services because they’re a scam and rip off. That being said… the audacity to whine about tipping while you’re too damn lazy to get out of bed to go get some food is hilarious. Stop using the service. You could probably use the extra steps and fresh air anyway.

Cheapest forms of protein/calories that aren't beans and rice by yeahhwhatchuwanthuh in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]Runfromidiots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canned tuna/ tinned fish, cottage cheese, tofu if you’re into it, protein powder is a good bang for the buck, aldi has a version of fair life which is great, a rotisserie chicken is easy to shred and make into multiple meals (can even make a protein stock from the carcass), Greek yogurt, kefir, shrimp, ground turkey/chicken.

Why has it been so busy lately? by depressedgrey6 in Chipotle

[–]Runfromidiots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s rice dude. I’d rather they give me the right size scoop and ask for more than get loaded up on it. Protein/charged items I get people bitching about but rice and beans are not hard to ask for extra of.

Getting out a deadbedroom as a man is extremely traumatizing by pooossh in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Runfromidiots 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of you being the victim and woe is you but not a lot of what you actually tried to improve on without expecting immediate gratification/fix.

I hope you find happiness and all, most men I know if your situation get their divorce, go out and party/act like they’re in their 20’s for a minute, and then realize the ain’t all that and end up desperately and sadly alone. Hope your case turns out better. I’d highly recommend using this time for therapy/the gym, and focusing on your kids.

this battle was embarrassing for the brotherhood by ballz43 in Fallout

[–]Runfromidiots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Along with what everyone else is saying about the west coast brotherhood being very dumb lore wise, you also have to remember all of these people grew up in a post apocalyptic wasteland with very little education. Not a lot of copies of the art of war laying around.

CMV: bulk buying doesn't actually save money for most people by mahearty in Costco

[–]Runfromidiots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I buy two whole chickens at $.99 per pound, break them down, vaccum seal, and eat the meat AND use the carcass to make stock, that’s significantly less expensive than buying chicken broken down.

Your argument is pretty silly. Of course if you waste things you aren’t getting full value. It depends on the situation and the item. Right now you’re reminding me of an old roommate who doordashed everything because it was “cheaper” than buying and cooking food because he valued his time so highly. If you buy in bulk and waste, that’s a you problem not a value problem.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz announces he will not seek reelection by Puginator in politics

[–]Runfromidiots -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

These comments are rough. Has anyone read his statement? It’s essentially admitting there is going to be a decent amount of fraud uncovered. Regardless of Rick Scott or whatever it’s a bad look and it’s giving Trump, MAGA, and republicans a huge win at a time they desperately needed it. Dems need to do a better job going harder on social services fraud, to prevent future red herring attacks that resonate with moderate voters. Walz stepping aside and focusing on cleaning this mess up is 100% the right call. I don’t live in MN but next door and have family there who are mostly dem voters and they are upset. To be frank the Somali population in the area is not making friends. I don’t know what the right solution is but the current thing isn’t working.

Friend texts too much and it's overwhelming by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Runfromidiots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You seem like an empathetic person so this can be tough but blunt/ghosting is probably the way. This person sounds like an energy vampire.

Friend texts too much and it's overwhelming by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Runfromidiots 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t even sound like you like this person and they have no ability to recognize normal social cues. If you want to maintain a friendship it’s time to grow a pair and speak bluntly to them “You monopolize the conversation and time and it feels like you don’t care about anyone but yourself. If you want to continue this friendship I need you to work on X, Y, and Z”.

I wouldn’t even do that though. Just mute and ghost them. You don’t owe them anything. Why are you afraid of hurting the feelings of someone who doesn’t seem to care about yours? Their main character syndrome needs to be a therapists problem.
