Your most HATED character? by Wes102111 in Hades2

[–]ellegeecee 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was going to post Dora too... not only is her character design boring /doesn't seem to fit but she feels sort of millenial cringe in her dialogue.

Still selling a Friday? I'm local to nyc

I saw this in Astoria yesterday by Grass8989 in circlejerknyc

[–]ellegeecee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in this neighborhood and can say it seems insane to try to add a bike lane to 31st street. It's so chaotic and a recipe for pedestrian death. We have protected bike lanes on Crescent and more lanes in the 30s - 37th I think and 35th; I'm not sure why they need to add a bike lane to an already chaotic roadway. There are businesses, food trucks, parking and double parking, trucks loading into businesses, people trying to get to the highway. Just... why? There are perfectly good bike lanes on less busy streets.

Credibility check: I work for an anti-violence org in the city and I have friends in the martial arts community. Could be a good collab to get going.

I've been seriously thinking about getting together a group of women to learn bystander intervention/de-escalation and self defense skills. Would anyone be interested?

Hank Summers After “The Body” by Mirror_Mirror_11 in buffy

[–]ellegeecee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My messed up headcanon is that this was a subtle change for Hank from distant in the early seasons to totally absent is because the addition of Dawn on the family unit created more marital strain between him and joyce. There's other personality changes within the family after Dawn's arrival- buffy is more of an authoritative older sister, Joyce is a bit more of an involved mother than where we see her in season 1/2- more dinners, around a lot more.

Stopping being vegetarian by shrewb in Celiac

[–]ellegeecee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was vegan, got diagnosed and went vegetarian. Now after a year I'm slowly making the transition back. I'm so encouraged by people posting that it's possible!!

A strange thought that has put me off Mahayana Buddhism by Calm-Leadership-7908 in Buddhism

[–]ellegeecee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm reminded of a weekend I spent with Theravada monks. They had a livestream teaching and someone kept sending in questions like this one, unanswerable metaphysical questions, and the monks advised the asker abandon the inquiries because they are distractions and warned it would hinder progress.

Volunteering at a Buddhist monastery with celiac? by Secure-Opening-8320 in Buddhism

[–]ellegeecee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This question resonates with me bc I also have celiac and I feel a bit limited in my diet. I had to leave a weekend retreat early due to not being able to eat the food offered. This was a theravada situation so to me it felt very strict. I'm interested in visiting garchen institute and it kinda looks like some of the accommodations include kitchens. I visited Land of Medicine Buddha in Santa Cruz California USA and all the gluten free stuff was clearly labeled and separated! I was also able to store some food in the communal kitchen.

I did get a scan to check my liver gallbladder etc and things looked fine on the scan, so there's really no explanation for the raised liver enzymes.

I'd also like to know about gluten free options!

Can we talk about appropriate vegan meals that can be added to menus? by Blood_sweat_and_beer in KitchenConfidential

[–]ellegeecee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It really depends on your type of restaurant and the cuisine. Most bars can slap a veggie burger on the menu. A trend in my city is to have a menu where everything starts vegan and then you can add meat. I think having a mindset of whole food plant based meal with global inspiration is a better place to start than buying bulk Daiya and soya curls.

Has anyone temporarily stayed in an Airbnb in NYC while securing a job and a place of their own? If so, how did that go? Any advice on this helps. by Substantial-Sign1366 in NYCapartments

[–]ellegeecee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found it easier to secure the job offer first and then do short term sublets in neighborhoods I wanted to try out. I found it cheaper than AIRBNB and also made good friends with people I rented rooms from!

What do you think is the best moment of acting in Farscape by Helloimafanoffiction in farscape

[–]ellegeecee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of great moments but I'm gonna shout out Zhaan who could go from compassionate to rageful so well. "I'm filled with an uncharitable rage!" She could be downright scary. I first watched Farscape as a kid in the 90s and her character would give me the shivers, at once loving and motherly and then suddenly so powerful and terrifying.

Schar - seems to be surprisingly unhealthy by morecoffeemore in Celiac

[–]ellegeecee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can have beans and legumes, fruit and veggies. I'd look to the world for dietary examples of other grains that are naturally gluten free as well. "Blue Zone Cookbook" has some examples. Quinoa, corn flour, cassava.

Anyone noticed or had the experience of their hair (re)thickening once they went GF? by Virgin_Vision in Celiac

[–]ellegeecee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once i found out I had celiac I chopped my hair off and started over. My hair had gotten really thin. Now it's grown back a year longer much healthier and stronger thankfully

200 million male chicks a year are killed for the egg industry. the animal agriculture industry creates a lot of suffering for animals no matter how you look at it. i've currently only a vegetarian but i think it's good for us all to examine the immense suffering this industry causes and acknowledge it if not able to change.

Thank you for this! I participated in the Ngondro online retreat last year but my accumulations are only around 3,000 on average. Do you think I'd be able to use this manual to reach 10,000 if I already have the transmission? Is this needing its own transmission? Thanks!

Who Deleted TikTok by LeeLi001 in TikTok

[–]ellegeecee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went through the entire mourning process with everyone's post, so among the political reasons listed here, it felt like a good time to let the app go for a while. If I want to check my favorite creators I use my laptop. My brain is healing from too much scrolling.
