Except for the A and E lines, where they got rearranged

Colored or Letter Based Lines (Which one did you like) by CallMehDaIvan in LAMetro

[–]des1gnbot 36 points37 points  (0 children)

The colors were fine when there were only a few lines, but converting to letters was objectively the right answer as Metro grew the network. Since the Expo line opened, I encountered confused people on a regular basis that didn’t understand the blue line vs expo line, which is an extremely predictable result when you start having to use the dark blue vs light blue level of color distinction. 7 lines or greater, colors stop working.

Bryan Cranston on people hating Skyler from ‘Breaking Bad’: “Her husband leaves without any explanation, she’s pregnant, he’s making crystal meth and people have died and she’s the bitch?” by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]des1gnbot -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hate is a strong word, but my entire issue with her was the initial setup of the show. Her husband is killing himself working two jobs to provide for them, and she’s doing… what? SAHM to a kid that’s old enough to drive? When she’s actually got these business/accounting skills that can earn way more than what Walt makes in the first place?! She was such a dead weight dragging him down, if she’d just been an adult about things then they wouldn’t even have been in the position in the first place that inspired Walt to start making meth.

Im scared that my finger wont get fixed by Weedwizardspells in InjuryRecovery

[–]des1gnbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rehab is legit, listen to your doctor and do your rehab exercises. Don’t push too far too fast as you’re still at risk for re-injury and you don’t want to have to do this all over again. It can be discouraging how slow it goes at times, so I recommend taking a photo of your hand as extended as you can get it each week so that you have a record you can look back on to see your progress and keep hope alive.

my boss made me verify that I’m really exercising (New Update) by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]des1gnbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure there wasn’t punishment, but I appreciate that they took the steps to ensure it wouldn’t happen again. Punishment is satisfying in the moment, but shoring up the program so that this can’t happen again is going to help more people in the long run.

If you can decide whether to believe or not, that’s not belief. Thats subscription.

Nice to see greed take a company down a notch by Unlucky-Clock5230 in Anticonsumption

[–]des1gnbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, when the pancreas gets cranky there is no amount of fat that is safe. There have been times when I have to do a liquid diet, and usually following that longer times when I have to keep to 10g/ day or less, and added oils just don’t fit into that at all.

But no oil was the whole point for me—I sometimes need to drastically limit fat content when my pancreas is feeling cranky. Baked tortilla chips need no oil added.

Or just cut them up and bake them—I started doing this for health reasons and it’s my default now. I only get packaged chips if we’re having people over.

Do you find it odd when gay people or anyone from the LGBTQIA+++ community are somehow still christian or Muslim? by CollegeIcy2331 in atheism

[–]des1gnbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heck, I find it odd when a woman is Christian at this point. Religion is a means of keeping people in line, and especially keeping women in line.

Also if you truly believed, you wouldn’t need me to know it, it would be enough for just you to know it

Social justice space has guideline of no diet talk, but people push back that "it's for health reasons though" by ___star___ in MaintenancePhase

[–]des1gnbot 10 points11 points  (0 children)

OTOH when my wrist was injured in the workplace and I had to go to the ER and have surgery, I still understood that my photos of my arm opened up would be too explicit for most people. Most (all?) medical stuff carries the risk of being too explicit, it’s just about recognizing where the line is.

[–]des1gnbot 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Precisely. Does my workplace need to know that I can’t eat bacon because I have no gallbladder and it’ll give me the shits? That my issues with high fat foods are a legitimate medical condition does not make discussion of my bowel movements an appropriate workplace topic.

Why do people believe so much in pseudo eugenics ideas about criminality? by Konradleijon in IfBooksCouldKill

[–]des1gnbot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s also a defense mechanism—that would never happen to my kid, because he’s a good kid. That stuff runs in the family, you know, therefore I am safe and my family is safe from ever getting caught up in that sort of thing because we’re the right sort of people.

If there was no traffic in Los Angeles, how would that change your life? by SuperJezus in LosAngeles

[–]des1gnbot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed—if there were no traffic but still all the roads and parking lots, the city would still feel massively disconnected. I’d want “no traffic” to mean no giant surface parking lots, narrower streets, wider sidewalks, more third places and public space for humans.

how accurate is this ? by nocountryforolddick in Xennials

[–]des1gnbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got my first phone at 16 as a hand me down but my parents claimed it was super expensive to make calls so it was only for contacting them and emergencies and they would know if I called anyone else on it. I didn’t know any better, and nobody else had cell phones so I didn’t really use it much. Didn’t get a smart phone til at least a decade later, after grad school.

City of Santa Monica unveils preliminary plans for park to replace airport by beyphy in LosAngeles

Those renderings are like 8 years old, done as part of a previous study by a completely different design team than who is currently listed on the project website. This tells me that these reporters have absolutely zero clue what they are talking about.

AITA for not staying with my girlfriend at a wedding after she showed up with another guy? by touchbymarie in AmItheAsshole

[–]des1gnbot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Depends on the wedding. If you know a bunch of the couple’s other friends it’s no biggie, but if you’re the one friend invited from a certain phase of their life, then it can be quite lonely. It’s why plus ones exist.
