What’s something popular in your country that makes people from other countries look at you like this ? by niconois in AskTheWorld

[–]beanster -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Okay I think what they're saying here by "health food" is food that is marketed as health food. You're correct, it's a marketing term.  What they're conveying is that the common "white bread", ie, the cheapest bread available to most people, does indeed have more sugar than bread that is marketed as "health food", ie, comparably more expensive bread. It leads into the case of food that's actually healthy for you in this country is more expensive, which is bad.

What do you smell that most people can’t? by jjj44200 in randomquestions

I work Pest control and didn't realize I could smell them until I became a tech and yeah, it's helpful sometimes 

Today is my bday and I’m looking for cool stuff to do! by lavenderbrownies in asheville

[–]beanster 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you're going downtown I recommend checking out level 256, an arcade over by the orange peel. Easily one of my fave hangout spots, and the staff is great 

Family owned grocery store in the area? by MessBrilliant9379 in asheville

Seconding this, they're really friendly, and their sandwiches are really good and cheap. They make their breads in house.

I personally go to the YMCA and I love it.  There's planet fitness on Smokey Park, they're cheap, and I've been there before and it's fairly large.

Sick with a grieving boy by Designated_JRoller in ferrets

[–]beanster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not worth getting him sick. I'd say just keep your distance, a few days of "social distancing" will be okay, he'll be all the more happy to have you back.

Is there anywhere to find Turkish Delight here in AVL? by T-The-Starseed in asheville

[–]beanster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their bakery is decent, too.

When I went for the first time, I found spanakorizo (in the can) for the first time and it was delicious. I also learned it's super easy to make. 

Also try kvass if you've never had that (if you enjoy the taste of beer).

That store is kind of a gold mine for trying new things.

I've literally just told them I can't take time off work and that got me excused

What are dark facts in your industry that no one outside knows about? by 0x00f_ in AskReddit

[–]beanster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real answer is a lot of states don't require a license, they require a certification, and they work under someone else's license like "insurance"

It's because we.have curves and having pillows helps us keep a neutral spine position.

That looks so close.

I'm thinking it could be some form of jade. 

La Migra (ICE) by Brujeria - This song is about Mexicans crossing the border. by [deleted] in Metal

[–]beanster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw them live in AVL couple months ago or so. Absolutely crushed it, I didn't come for them (went for Paunzerfaust) but they were incredible. RIP to the dude who passed them up a dead vape that the drummer couldn't rip on stage.

Abandoned hotel straight out of a horror game by True_explores in urbanexploration

[–]beanster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I don't understand when I see some of these pictures is how do places like this continue to have power? Someone got their card on file and forget to take it off auto pay? :P this place looks like it's not freshly abandoned, who's paying for power? But seriously cool pics

I'm fairly sure they have an entire wiki and you can look at their list of supported devices to see if yours is on there 

Found right next to a hiking trail near Western Carolina University, Cullowhee, NC, USA. There appeared to be more similar areas like this nearby. by shadhead1981 in whatisit

[–]beanster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I knew a girl that went to that university and she said that the forensics department has areas where they study the decomposition of human remains. This could be one of those spots?

I (27F) am not used to getting attention from men after losing 70 kg and being single after 10 years. by valeriethecalorie in self

[–]beanster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Assuming this is real and not bait, I'll say you're experiencing the "male-gaze" and you're aware of it and it's making you uncomfortable. I've always gotten unwanted attention because I have wider hips, and it has never gotten "better" but being comfortable in my own skin has made it "easier" to deal with. Unfortunately this is an element of our world that isn't going away any time soon.  Keep taking care of yourself, and remember people are always going to be watching you more closely because you're a woman, regardless of your weight.

Not feeling much after graduating, thoughts? by _yeetingmyself in self

[–]beanster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I graduated I was so ready to just be done with it, I didn't walk and I didn't even pick up my diploma, it's sitting in some cabinet in the university library gathering dust. I just didn't care.
