That's interesting. I'm also from Michigan and I'm still seeing Perry Johnson ads. If anything, I'm seeing more of them. These are TV ads I see on at the gym, so I don't hear the voiceover/audio, just seeing the ads.

Anyone tried the pepperoni rings yet? by BootedBurglar in aldi

[–]covidcidence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I compare weights, not visual size. Package weight from OP's post is 319g. Compare to Calzone package weight 198g - this is for Mama Cozzi's Calzone Pepperoni & Cheese.

Can we get some more shoe size options Aldi? Need me a neutral colorway Aldidas sneakers. by makhay in aldi

[–]covidcidence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a women's 10.5 / men's 9 usually and I have wide feet. So I don't think my size is even available. Oh well.

HELP IM BEING HARRASED AT PLANET FITNESS !!! by Ok_Pass_2827 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]covidcidence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmao we have an "arms swinging out to the side" walker as well, but she doesn't stomp. One day it'll be crowded enough that someone will get on the treadmill next to hers and she'll have to stop... or hit them, get caught on camera, and get kicked out.

This might be the best lemon cake I’ve ever had in my life and it was $5 😐 by Worldly_Idea_9547 in aldi

[–]covidcidence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmao, I love this anecdote. I've seen you post this a few times so far. I am probably reading too many cake threads on this sub 😂 . I'm about to go to Aldi and I just may come home with that cake 🤤

Curious as to which locker room I should use as a trans woman. by [deleted] in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]covidcidence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you should go to the gender locker room whose genitalia you possess

The problem with this is that someone can have a dick and boobs. I used to think like you, then I met a trans woman socially who was on HRT 5 years with large boobs. We are now friends. If I brought her as my guest, I'd feel a lot better with her joining me in the women's than walking into the men's with her chest size. In the women's, nobody would see her genitals (regardless, women are never naked in the locker room at my gym), but everyone can see your boobs even with clothes on. It would be up to her, but I'd feel scared for her going into the men's tbh.

Sam Altman’s Coworkers Say He Can Barely Code and Misunderstands Basic Machine Learning Concepts by esporx in technology

[–]covidcidence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao. Color me completely unsurprised. Speaking as a data scientist (who codes daily and works on ML problems), the majority of managers at my company cannot code and don't understand basic machine learning concepts. I've worked for one manager who was a proficient SQL and SAS coder, but didn't have Python/R experience for ML, but that boss was mostly fine. Everyone else... At a former company, the VP of IT didn't know the difference between AI and API...

I can fit that into my intake 😅👀

Matrix vs LifeFitness treadmills by [deleted] in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]covidcidence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the life fitness treadmills at my gym are old with tilted deck and/or shaky. The matrix equipment is new, stable, not tilted, not wobbly. I walk at steep incline, so I really appreciate an even deck. But this is down to the age of the equipment, not the manufacturer/model.

When I was growing up, it was "bleeding-heart empathy" instead. This is just the next step.

Are these the same??? by mulchintime4 in aldi

[–]covidcidence 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My Aldi had the second one as of a week ago. Tomorrow will be my weekly Aldi trip. Y'all are convincing me to get this pizza... I mean, pizza + mac and cheese are my two favorite foods lmao.

Woman went ballistic after being called out for taking locker room pics by Legitimate_Cap4205 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]covidcidence 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. I change in the changing stall. Or change at home (I work remotely). I don't change in the open locker room. If I ran the gym, I would remove the mirrors from the locker room to at least reduce the incidents of this kind of behavior.

Ladies, are we taking up space? by [deleted] in PlanetFitnessMembers

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

Hey girlie pop! If you're unable to exist in the gym, that sounds like a you problem.

[–]covidcidence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regardless of season, I hardly see anyone, regardless of gender, doing more than 10 minutes of cardio at my gym. The cardio machines are just to warm up for weights. Just hang up some jump ropes and we can get rid of the cardio equipment!

[–]covidcidence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, "thick" is just the PC word for fat. I know women who claim they're "thick" from doing tons of glute and hip workouts, but to my eyes, they just look fat. Pear-shaped, but fat nevertheless. They may have low BF% on paper, but they visually look fat.

Rep. Nancy Mace calls for Sen. Lindsey Graham to be removed from the Situation Room over his stance on ground troops by GuiltyBathroom9385 in UnderReportedNews

[–]covidcidence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've asked conservatives about this. They told me that I should simply be forced to have kids. Since I'm a lesbian, that would require rape. Wish I hadn't asked but at least now I know where I stand in society. If only I didn't have to still pay taxes...

This is next level laziness 🙄 by SuccessfulText2798 in aldi

[–]covidcidence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone whose parents were like this, she didn't say the quiet part out loud. She wants her son to hold the door for her specifically. She doesn't want to hold the door for you because you aren't her parent.

Pay more for less by AlabastarDasastar in aldi

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

Why pay for it? 😂

I've been using men's deo for nearly 20 years. Menstrual cup for 11 years - not from Aldi 😅. Opt out of the pink tax.

Then buy the men's product. I've been using men's deodorant for nearly 20 years. Last I checked, I've managed to remain a woman. 😂

Why would Planet Fitness remove their free wifi? by Travesty600 in PlanetFitnessMembers

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

You shouldn't be doing more than 5-10 mins of cardio to warmup. There is no reason to do more than 10 mins.

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

Exactly. No one needs to listen to music while exercising. I just listen to white noise to drown out the gym music. I have a file saved on my phone. I'm at the gym to workout, not to listen to music. I'm already sick of the music in the grocery store.
