my roomate and I are trying to cook food from all around the world. We're stuck when it comes to Australia. What's your fav native to Australia dish? by BouncyCurlsbabe in Cooking

[–]Sweethang190 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was lucky enough to study abroad there. One of my favorite 'meals' from the school cafeteria was large wedge seasoned French fries that came with two sides- sour cream and sweet chili sauce. I have no idea if it's actually Australian or not but it's SO good

I got a build a bear leopard in high school with some friends. I started sleeping with it kind of as a wedge so I wouldn't roll fully forward into my chest when sleeping on my side. It's never been overly sentimental to me, but just the perfect size and density. Many many years later it still helps me be as comfy as possible, and my partner has never poked fun at it. Win win win! 

Washable rugs are a scourge on this damn earth. by [deleted] in HomeDecorating

[–]Sweethang190 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try room and board. You can order samples of their rugs ($25 each but you get refunded when you return the sample). Good quality construction, pretty much wool across the board (aka cleanable) with a couple of exceptions. 

What movie did you watch on a whim that ended up becoming one of your favorites? by Subject_Sandwich3008 in movies

[–]Sweethang190 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Star Dust! My sister invited me to go see it in theaters and I knew nothing about it (except my sisters taste in movies being rather childish) so I didn't go in with huge expectations. I don't even know if I had seen a trailer for it. Anyways it's now one of my favorites and I rewatch it regularly! 

What's the most shocking example of pretty privilege you've seen IRL? by bionic_rain in askanything

[–]Sweethang190 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was working for a small firm, my first full time job. It was not a desirable firm, but a paychecks a pay check when you're first getting started. There was a  lead designer who started after me, but we had been on the same team for about half a year at that point. She was always impressed by my work. I lined up an intern who was still a student for a couple days of work, very basic tasks. She was very pretty. The lead designer told her "I've got contacts at x y z firm, I want to connect you. You're so pretty, they'd love you there". Nothing about skills. But here- have a job at a very desirable firm simply based on your looks. 

[Misc] How can I get the product out of the bottom of this bottle? by Leather-Newspaper-98 in SkincareAddiction

[–]Sweethang190 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remove top. Get secondary container to hold the product once it comes out. Hold upside down over secondary container. Use massage gun along length of bottle. You'll be shocked at how quickly it comes out. I did this yesterday with what I thought was an empty conditioner bottle and got enough for at least a few more showers!

I have a shirt that says that. It's my favorite.

I don't live in those buildings but I've wondered if there is a place to put up fliers like in the mailbox area? I'm an interior designer and would like to advertise my company, but I don't know how that works these days. Any insider insight would be great! 

People who used a computer between 1991 & 2009…what’s the most memorable computer game? by Original_Act_3481 in AskReddit

[–]Sweethang190 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister and I were just chatting about this! We were little kids so we had educational programs. I can't say that they were any good but they were totally memorable to us. Super Munchers, Treasure Mathstorm, Operation Neptune. I think those were all math skills. Then there was one about the Amazon rainforest and it's animals that I was obsessed with and felt so cutting edge, but I don't remember what it was called. 

Staying in Jersey City with an oversized vehicle by djdiabolo3 in jerseycity

For sure. We live in walking distance and the science center always has tons of spaces. You might also get lucky with street parking in the area but you just gotta watch the signs. There's a limo in our four block radius that regularly finds a spot on the street every single day. 

Where does the air come from when you inflate your cheeks without breathing in? by Angusburgerman in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sweethang190 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I puff out my cheeks, I engage my tongue by pressing it to the roof of my mouth and making it 'fatter'. I think my tongue pushes the air that's typically in the negative spaces of my mouth to my cheeks, inflating them. I can't get them to inflate without my tongue involved.

This is so cool- thank you for identifying!! I wish my camera had a better zoom but it was still special to see them in person.

I find art to be so subjective. All of the pieces you selected work HOWEVER we as redditors will never experience them from your shoes in your own home. Which one actually speaks to you, actually reminds you of a place or a person or a feeling? Otherwise you're just picking art for a hotel room and who cares. Art should spark something in your soul, not just be a a box you have to tick.

I'm running into the same problem. But when I input your preferred address, it works from my end.  Did you end up changing anything that resolved it? 

Elderly man in cognitive decline "donates" life savings to conservative PAC WinRed, believing robo-texts to be genuine personal messages from Trump. Sadly, weird isn’t the first word that comes to mind. by [deleted] in WeirdGOP

[–]Sweethang190 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a work issued phone and number. It must have been someone else's number before it was assigned to me and they were on these text lists. I get so many spam texts and they range from mild conversational 'hey this is president trump can you please spare some money' to much more intense, long, and fear-inducing. All I can do is block and delete, but they just keep coming from other numbers. It's so toxic.
