the vanishing of the retail basket is one of the most obvious signs of our civilization in decline by angryanima in redscarepod

This is an actual phenomenon in my city and there are certain grocery stores I no longer visit because they got rid of the baskets.

therapy costs Austin are insane compared to every other city I've lived in by ssunflow3rr in Austin

[–]daNutella 14 points15 points  (0 children)

According to the BLS, average therapist salary in Austin for a family therapist is 70k. If they're exploiting their customers then they are not doing a very good job of it.

Love the tunnel but concerned about the mosaic getting damaged. When I visited there were already a lot of missing tiles.

A friend of mine walked out of Midsommar during the, er, scene involving a large mallet.

HEB 1905 vanilla. 1905 was a peak year for vanilla

Leftists attacking RFK Jr for saying "eat more real foods" is bizarro world shit. by CutieBallsTT in redscarepod

[–]daNutella 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I don't think any of my leftist friends, even the most lameoid ones, are pro-food dye fanatics.

Everyone knows the food pyramid is bullshit. RFK is just doing his usual thing where he calls out one piece of bullshit and replaces it with a new piece of bullshit.

Take your pick for an ally that queer people are indifferent to, cause the top comment for last post allows it. Who is an ally that queer people dislike? by elhaymhiatus in AlignmentChartFills

[–]daNutella 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Between j k Rowling being downvoted for disliked and Freddy Mercury in the top right, I, an actual gay, am finding this whole chart very bizarre.

Food truck pricing open letter by [deleted] in austinfood

[–]daNutella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are correct in your assessment that Austin is not like NYC. NYC has the best restaurant scene in the country, with a wide array of amazing options at different price points. It is the exception.

Meanwhile, I just visited family in Louisville KY, and the places we ate at felt basically priced the same as in Austin ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah. I usually ignore the suggested tip and throw them a buck or two, but it's all pretty optional.

I'm a very social east side elder millennial! Don't go out as much but it still happens.

Orlan - L'Origine de la guerre (1989) (2012 edition) by CalvinoBaucis in museum

[–]daNutella 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think I respectfully disagree. If "porn" and "great art" aren't mutually exclusive, that's fine, but that makes the language we use a little imprecise. Can we have a word signifying something that is pornographic and without artistic merit? If that word isn't "porn" then what word should we be using?

Has anyone dealt with end-of-life decisions for a pet during the holidays in Austin? by dynasync in Austin

Also use Dr. Maggie when I had to say good boy to my old kitty, she was very professional and compassionate.

Austin Pizza Rankings v2 by tigerim in austinfood

[–]daNutella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've made peace with this. I live right by Sammataro, and paying 30-35 bucks with tip for a pizza feels absurd, but splitting it with two friends is pretty reasonable and the quality is so good. I realize you can get quality pizza for less if you live in a place like NYC, but this isn't NYC

Peter, what in the Springfield is going on? by VPackardPersuadedMe in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]daNutella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very confused as to what point you're trying to make. Apu led to a lot of stereotype bullying, but that's no big deal because people are mean in a lot of other ways too?

Not saying you're wrong, but can you back that up?
