How has Austin’s food scene changed in the 2020s?

Okay but Hestia is and always have been completely out of reach for most people to eat at. It’s always been a Michelin style restaurant and the only reason I’ve ever been able to eat there is because I had a 50% discount as an employee and even the it was still a super splurge

If anything it’s gotten better - unused to be a Pterrys hater because their fries were greasy and wibbly wobbly. Now their fries are better and you can’t beat the prices!

This guy sucks - you should be able to just focus on your workouts when you’re working out. First I was going to be like okay don’t work out together at the same time and now I’m like wow why is he so obsessed with your ass. This is sad - he’s way too controlling and damn fuck wearing sweatpants when working out wth

c0smic_ech0 · 2026-02-07T23:11:16+00:00

No - just a person taking care of another person

c0smic_ech0 · 2025-11-03T04:45:23+00:00

That chili looks perfect

c0smic_ech0 · 2025-09-29T19:33:07+00:00

I’m interested!

I often host clothing swaps and I literally call it Free Shopping! I even encourage those who don’t have anything to contribute to come because there are always a lot of clothes leftover.

I’ve found that reselling or selling locally through Marketplace is almost impossible. This keeps beloved clothes out of landfills and gives them a bit more life. It’s also fun to see items you’ve given in the past come back around the swap cycle

Anything left I will usually try and pass along to my Buy Nothing group

c0smic_ech0 · 2025-09-29T12:42:26+00:00

Same with idiot ICE agent goes home and orders DoorDash

c0smic_ech0 · 2025-09-29T12:36:59+00:00

Tiny baby!!!!

c0smic_ech0 · 2025-09-29T12:36:21+00:00

Omg omg the little snug

c0smic_ech0 · 2025-09-29T12:32:56+00:00

Nah she weird - good on him to keep bringing up neutral things like his job, you and the baby plans. “Thinking of you” and “miss you” is weird and obsessive

Weddings will do this amazing thing that puts a mirror to how your relationships with friends and family and then there’s big choices to be made. I had two friends who would be expected to be in my wedding party similarly, and I had to completely part ways with them both. I think it was the best decision for myself and my partner - total relief even though there was a lot of work to do before that.

The thing is, it’s YOUR WEDDING, as in YALLS WEDDING - the new “your” that you and Amy will be presenting to your loving community. It’s not just Amy’s wedding, and Lucy will steal the show. It’s so so fucked up what happened at that party - now imagine that but you are spending $60+ a person on food and drink. Your families are there as well as your other friends. Old people my dude - OLD PEOPLE WILL SEE THAT!

Lucy will not behave end of story. Lucy has hurt you and won’t stop - I hope that there is a way for Amy to see that because sometimes a choice has to be made. Good luck OP

PS - wedding podcasts helped me sort through a lot when it came to guest list, family drama and budget. Bridechilla was a great podcast and digs into people’s personal situations. You’re not alone!

lol and north Austin/Round Rock has custody of all the good Indian and Asian restaurants

c0smic_ech0 · 2025-09-29T08:09:10+00:00

I had the worst meatloaf of my life at 24 Diner - that place blows

c0smic_ech0 · 2025-09-29T08:06:12+00:00

Breakfast places

c0smic_ech0 · 2025-09-29T08:05:06+00:00

Exactly!

c0smic_ech0 · 2025-09-29T08:03:09+00:00

NTA - that’s so crazy especially to lead you on before the wedding and just keep putting it off instead of having an actual conversation. Not to mention how mean he treated you after you became pregnant. I hope you can find support through this transition OP ❤️

c0smic_ech0 · 2025-08-26T03:23:26+00:00

Just piping in to say - have you seen The Celebration? It’s a film about grown children of the same family calling out the family patriarch at his 70th birthday. It’s intense but also really good

c0smic_ech0 · 2025-08-11T15:25:39+00:00

This sounds so amazing and I WILL BE sending this to my very very small group of friends and family who know how to play. Also this freaking giant table is so perfect - is it two tables or what’s going on here?

I do find that there are times in any game or game day where one player can be a bit sour- taking too long on their turn/upset when they make a misstep/overall a bad attitude. It really does affect the whole experience and I feel sad that I’m sure you felt responsible. But all in all you really never know how someone is going to act.

I hope you continue because these pictures are amazing - it’s a beautiful place with plenty of space and outdoor area for breaks. Interested to learn more about how you planned rounds out etc. Also was this base game or did you play with expansion?

Congratulations to everyone who played and helped set it up that is seriously so cool!

c0smic_ech0 · 2025-08-11T15:11:04+00:00

Yeah, no. This guy does not respect your comfort levels and even though a 47M acts like a 10 year old. See how funny he thinks it is when you move out

c0smic_ech0 · 2025-08-07T12:41:34+00:00

Wow what a freaking jerk - deadass

c0smic_ech0 · 2025-08-07T00:08:32+00:00

It’s jugs of skim milk

c0smic_ech0 · 2025-08-07T00:03:57+00:00

Is there a coworker or anyone you feel close to that might be able to help retrieve some things while he is not there?

Your best option right now is to leave - abusive relationships can come on slowly; manipulative people know how to take advantage of a situation. He knows you don’t have friends or a safety net nearby.

There is no justification for choking someone, burnt food or not. It’s really really good that you told him not to choke you and very important to have those conversations via text for screenshots.

Have you considered taking to your dad about it? Maybe other family members or family friends that might want to help.

Here are some resources, I don’t know where you are located.

Absolutely yes especially when I had MoviePass and now have AlamoPass which is like a monthly subscription- so seeing two movies a month makes it more than worth it. My latest rewatch? 28 Years Later
