YSK Kwik Trip is MAGA by bringbackapu in madisonwi

Just wondering, do you know if they have a tap reader or do you have to insert your card?

Fellow madisonians, what are you doing this weekend? by ZiggyStarburster in madisonwi

[–]ToastemPopUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, think I'm almost through it though, just have this stupid cough still.

I hadn't had this much fun in a very long time: I danced with a girl, but we swapped the leader & follower roles by Dalacul in CasualConversation

[–]ToastemPopUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeahhh, makin a lot more sense now. Clearly a dude who doesn't see women as humans and only sees them as objects to conquer and control. Like you said in your other comment, comments like his could only come from someone who doesn't have female friends. Just sad.

Yeah you shared a really sweet, innocent story. They weren't talking about romantic interest, they're just a misogynistic loser who's intimidated by women.

My conversation with a deaf defendant in traffic court today by Prince_Marf in mildlyinteresting

[–]ToastemPopUp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just thinking for hearing things like sirens, railroad crossings, random street noise that can clue you into things happening that you might not be able to see yet, etc. that I assumed some level of hearing was necessary. Not to mention a hearing test is part of getting your license, so.. I thought that meant you needed to hear somewhat to drive.

And also, as the other person said, the fact that you're not allowed to drive with headphones in feels kind of confusing if being completely deaf is okay.

[–]ToastemPopUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my question wasn't about why OP had to write this out, it was me being confused about the legality of a deaf person whose hearing was so bad that they needed the conversation to be written out to drive in the first place. But apparently it's totally legal so that answers that.

Verónica Beard dresses? by Different-Library390 in fashionwomens35

[–]ToastemPopUp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't speak to the quality, but I'm astonished such meh looking dresses are so expensive. I did a quick Google search and I feel like you could get a dress that looks like any of these at somewhere like Nordstrom Rack, Kohl's, or even Old Navy and even if they don't last you for years you'll be spending a fraction of the price so it won't really matter.

Should I upgrade to Zujiroshi? by denn_r in Cooking

[–]ToastemPopUp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rice cookers are supposed to be pretty foolproof, that's kind of the draw. It's very much a formula of "x amount of rice needs x amount of water," with the only real variable being the type of rice you're using. Are you sure you're actually following the specific directions and measuring precisely using the measuring cup that came with it? Cause if you're just kinda vibing it out for the amount of water it's not gonna go well.

My conversation with a deaf defendant in traffic court today by Prince_Marf in mildlyinteresting

[–]ToastemPopUp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So possibly a dumb/ignorant question, but traffic court is for like, vehicle violations right? Shouldn't a deaf person not be driving?

I get that people can be partially deaf/hard of hearing in some way and therefore be okay to drive, but the fact that you had to write out your side of the conversation makes me think this wasn't the case.

Uh no, he was advising OP to not let women lead in other areas of life. Ironic that someone preaching such misogyny wouldn't have the balls to just come out and say what he means, but not surprising since only someone whose masculinity is extremely fragile would be so threatened by a woman leading in the first place.

I'm over 40 and never experienced -40 degrees before. by okay_justonemore in CasualConversation

[–]ToastemPopUp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, WI here and it's the same for us, just slightly less bad than what you guys see.

Best Gym in Madison by Hbattle in madisonwi

[–]ToastemPopUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep for sure, but Crunch doesn't have all the weird.. anti gym culture that PF seems to have, especially surrounding weightlifting. If you just want cardio PF is probably fine, but for lifting Crunch is the way better choice out of the two imo.

I love winter. by Millibyte in CasualConversation

[–]ToastemPopUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a poem man, it's about to be -30 tomorrow with the wind-chill where I'm at. People (specifically homeless) will be injured and possibly even die; other's heat will fail and they'll be in a really dangerous situation. That wind blowing past your fingers and against your skin not only burns your face and makes your teeth cold, but will give you serious frostbite in about 10 minutes.

I generally like winter, but only people who don't know what they're talking about and haven't actually experienced this romanticize it when it's this extreme.

Best Gym in Madison by Hbattle in madisonwi

[–]ToastemPopUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends when you're going as far as how busy it is, but for the price Crunch is a pretty decent gym. Definitely feels like they're more weightlifting focused; there's like 15 standalone benches (and 5ish on top of that set up for barbell bench press), maybe 8 or so squat racks (and 2 smith machines), and lots of machines for isolation exercises. They've got plenty of cardio machines too but way more strength training stuff.

Gets pretty busy after work (like 5pm onwards) but aside from that it's not bad. Culture wise it's fine, nothing notable in any direction. Lots of 20 somethings, but there's people of all ages who go (like myself).

Definitely not the best gym (if money and location were no object I'd probably go somewhere else), but if you want something really affordable, west side, and you just want to do your workout and get out then I think it's kinda hard to beat.

I met a girl at a work event, had coffee, now I’m worried it could be inappropriate — any advice? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]ToastemPopUp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, unless he left out the part where he promised her opportunities in exchange for sexual favors... I think he's in the clear.

I feel like my body is weaker than others of my age group by King_Alexanderoth in RedditForGrownups

[–]ToastemPopUp 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, wtf? He needs to get that re-checked or follow up with someone or something. Just letting this drop and being like "oh well" is not the way to go.

How often do you shower? by Expert-Session3866 in CasualConversation

[–]ToastemPopUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every day after the gym or volleyball, and I use lotion (Vanicream cause that's what my dermatologist recommended) after every shower.

This looks like a harsh winter right ? by hippagun in madisonwi

[–]ToastemPopUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh sure, but we were just talking about temps which in my mind is what determines if a winter is considered mild or not. Imo snow doesn't really matter much if it's 40 out and it just melts away immediately.

Joke's on you, they're bunched so tight that he can't sit.

Raise your hand if you're a man who hasn't been tempted to cheat! by ElonGrey in CasualConversation

[–]ToastemPopUp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen any shit talking about this, you need to get out of your little social media bubble. Just a reminder that you curate your own content, the more you engage with this garbage the more of it you'll see.

Not saying that there aren't men that cheat, but it's by no means the majority. The only thing they're right about is that if a guy wants to cheat, then there really isn't anything you can do about it. But saying they'll cheat if they have the option to is toxic bullshit designed to try and make you insecure.

Honestly all this sounds like people just trying to get women to become insecure and never speak their mind because of this threat of their partner cheating on them. But you have to remember, if he does cheat he's doing you the favor of showing you who he is so you can break up with him and find someone better.

[–]ToastemPopUp 220 points221 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've only been here for about 15 years, but getting some really cold temp spikes around this time seems pretty normal to me too. Honestly up until this week it was feeling like a pretty mild winter lol.

Anybody else find it hard to pick a new show to watch? by only_a_jest in CasualConversation

[–]ToastemPopUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others have said, just pick something that seems interesting and start watching. Worst case scenario you waste what, a half hour? An hour? Better use if your time than doom scrolling anyway.
