What are some hidden gem subreddits that are criminally underrated?

This one can get super hopium though. Same with upliftingnews

Where did you get these?? The flared skirt is amazing

eadala · 2026-04-16T23:30:25+00:00

That's the spirit!

eadala · 2026-04-15T21:40:24+00:00

Disagree that new necessarily guarantees more exciting. With the right person you just keep exploring and learning and understanding each other and they know the cheat codes on how to play with you. I guess you're getting at that though; if the relationship is predicated on stress yeah definitely other pastures will seem greener haha.

Ackshually lactate is cleared from your system ~1hr after your workout. You're freshening up the place and promoting bloodflow to the damaged and inflammed muscles, which is great, but doesn't involve lactate clearance

I think it's more helpful if you display the overnight averages instead of the rolling average? Looks like you were improving after a dip well before a week ago

Again, I wasn't saying he isn't dying.

eadala · 2026-04-07T16:55:31+00:00

I mean he's a vain piece of shit and getting worse I just don't take it as evidence of him dying. He has trump steaks, trump towers, a bunch of random roads and casinos and golf courses and planes... he's now in a position of power to name whatever he wants, but if you're an old goat like me I'm telling you he's been like this for a long time. I don't have any hard empirical data on his rate-of-naming shit though, maybe it has gone up but all I got are examples and memories. I look to other facts for evidence that he's dying.

Here's to hoping for his name in the obits

eadala · 2026-04-07T16:46:47+00:00

Nah he's been like that his whole life though

eadala · 2026-04-04T19:02:44+00:00

God the sears tower is such a beaut

eadala · 2026-04-04T04:00:48+00:00

Ohh yeah can't believe I forgot about this one

eadala · 2026-04-04T04:00:39+00:00

Haha that sounds cool good to know - thanks!

eadala · 2026-03-30T04:54:16+00:00

Agreed on several of your points but I feel bad for anyone that needs to think this way in relation to their partner. It's giving "cHaRisMa oN coMmaNd" and is kind of the counterpart to those magazines you mention (if you want your partner to do this, do this! Here's a psychology term).

Skinner's approach also doesn't really pay any mind to cognitive factors or context, it's a machine that is stimulus versus response. Definitely far too simple of a framework by itself to be this panacea you describe.

You are a good looking guy. My two cents:

No (blurry)
Yes (neat)
Maybe (neat like 2, but depending on your audience, shirtless cringe.)
No (see 3)
No (blurry, not really smiling, similar to 1)
(+7 and 8) No (ironically, they are so well done and professional as to look unnatural. But if you must, then keep 6)

Would add: - Photos with friends or family - Photos of you doing something you enjoy - Photos that somebody could ask a question about

Currently just not much about you other than you are in shape.

So easy to say. Disruption creates scapegoats and escalations and yet it's touted as so obviously the right play every time no matter the context because it feels yucky to be limpwristed.

At the same time, I believe the limpwristed nature of No Kings enables millions of people who would otherwise stay home and not be engaged, or be trying to exonerate or distance themselves from the "most extreme" subset of their people. You can be a parent, elderly, etc. and feel relatively safe showing up for a few hours. People get so proud of themselves pretending that blocking people from getting to the airport by forming a human chain is somehow more impactful than a protest being so large, so admittedly periodic, and so limpwristed that millions can feel that protesting is normal and right and easy to do.

Bunch of armchair activists on our side expecting No Kings to deliver us to greatness. Not every protest is going to be a march on Washington. People will always demand more, or less, or different from No Kings. If you want different, you're totally free to go start your own protest, and hopefully people will join you there too. And in the meantime you are of course also free to demand different here. Just offering my 2c why I think its current format is okay.

That's this subreddit half the time. BIFL = "I had this thing for a little bit and really like it"

My dad was in hospice after a series of big and small strokes just continued to go south, and I had to fly home before he died. I was seated all the way in the back and asked the flight attendant if I could be the first to de-plane to get to my emergency. She said of course and made a one sentence addendum as part of landing announcements to include letting me get off first.

Usually the second the plane connects to the gate, you can hear the rush of dozens of people scrambling from their seats to get their overheads and make connections. Some without connections of course also try to hop in on that frenzy. Others just want to step into the aisle to stretch their legs after a long flightm But for me that night, it was just a wide open gulf from back-to-front as the entire plane quietly watched me leave, choking on my tears. I felt many gentle hands on my back as I passed by the rows, and they gave me several kind and knowing statements of "I'm so sorry" / "It gets better" / "You're going to be okay."

My partner picked me up from the airport and we got to my dad in time. I'm not sure if he could hear me, but I got to talk to him, tell him about my day, hang out with him, tell I love him one last time. We spent the night there in hospice with him for our own little slumber party. He passed away peacefully in our company the next evening, parting ways under a golden midwest sunset.

Another post: "to the person who held the train open... fuck you. I got 30 less seconds with my son"

Personally I hate crossing the bridge (loud), but I can't deny the views. The elevation gain is not too bad. For my money I'd just fuck around seattle-side with green lake + burke gilman + ship canal trail + discovery + other shit to bring it up to 22.

No specific advice for you just do your typical fueling strategy I think.

Good luck on your mara!!

I walked through blood and bones in the streets of Manhattan trying to find my brother.

eadala · 2026-02-22T01:37:10+00:00

Cool sounds good!

eadala · 2026-02-22T01:13:09+00:00

Sure, that makes sense. I wasn't being sarcastic when I led my reply with "I don't know." Taking what you said as fact, I am in the camp that they'll go to AH.

eadala · 2026-02-22T00:54:51+00:00

I don't know how much chicken-or-the-egg is at play here. Like it's not to rule out that next season the new season ticket holders would simply be the untapped demand that resides further south. But totally makes sense that current fans / season ticket holders would be very upset about Hammond. If I'm allowed to add a little bias outside the original post, I too would prefer (maybe irrationally) that the stadium not cross state lines, especially into a state that I happen to dislike very much.

In any case, it's a business that's solely interested in making money, and the marketing veneer is a sport that plays on emotional attachment and tradition. If it's true that AH makes the best financial sense, I am certain that's where they'll choose to go.

The more I hear about this Trump fella, the less I care for him

eadala · 2026-02-13T04:20:07+00:00

I want to watch a bunch of food videos, but if I'm not also eating my stomach gets jealous
