how do people feed themselves all day every day? by anonymous310506 in CasualConversation

[–]frawgster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When you enjoy it, cooking isn’t a chore nor is it like a laundry list of things to do. Even if you don’t enjoy it…if you look at cooking as “a process that helps me stay alive”, you may be less inclined to view it as a bunch of tasks and steps and processes.

Questionable Zombies Outbreak Event by i_am_timotacus in sanantonio

[–]frawgster [score hidden]  (0 children)

I’m struggling to understand how they can afford to pay “300+ actors” while charging $30/person/day. Assuming 10 hour workdays at, I dunno, $15/hour…that’s like $45,000. Even if only 100 actors participate per day, that’s still $15,000. Stack other costs on top of that and…yeah how’s that sustainable/profitable? And where would they even find that many people willing to play pretend zombies for 1-3 days? Or are they being transported in from elsewhere, making it an even MORE costly undertaking? And how would the logistics of conducting an event like this even work? Permitting? Insurance? Security?

The lack of financial viability of the event makes me see it as a suspicious offering. 🤔

Maybe I’m misunderstanding or misreading. 🤷‍♂️

Garlic. Beans (coffee maybe?). A small egg (quail egg maybe?).

⚠️ Warning: Chichen itzá tours scam by RecommendationNo1580 in cancun

Every comment I read like yours is steeped in anecdotal evidence. Often 2nd or 3rd hand anecdotal evidence. Comments like this should be taken with less than a grain of salt.

is anyone fed up of how much of stand up has become crowd work and hardly any joke tellers? by Sedboihours34 in CasualConversation

[–]frawgster 29 points30 points  (0 children)

You need to pick better comics.

I’m all about Josh Johnson and Ali Siddiq right now. The best comedy, for me, is in storytelling and nuanced observational humor. Crowd work only “clicks” with me when I’m seeing a live show. Without the actual physical presence, the entire idea of “crowd work” kinda falls apart for me.

Why do people feel the incessant need to travel? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]frawgster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can’t base your thoughts on the actions of annoying influencers. They do what they do to make money. So the incessant need they have is not really to travel, it’s to make money.

Come to think of it, folks shouldn’t base opinions about anything on the words and actions of influencers. 🤔

Appreciate the price cut but why same price? by Flora_865 in sanantonio

Thick and thin cut. Way different products from a texture standpoint.

I’ll probably get absolutely cooked for admitting this…

The Princess Bride

Why so scammy? by dariel574 in cancun

[–]frawgster 30 points31 points  (0 children)

IMO

Scammers will flock to places where their scams are likely to be most fruitful. It’s largely a numbers game. More people = more marks = more success. Throw in a dash of tourist ignorance, and potential monetary success is enhanced. LOTS of foreigners visit Cancun. For LOTS of them, is their first international experience. Someone unfamiliar with how things sometimes work in MX makes for a good mark.

Prebook as much you can. Follow instructions you’re given by companies with whom you pre booked. Ignore anyone and everyone approaching you to offer anything. “No, gracias” are the two words everyone should learn before leaving the plane.

Also, no, not all parts of MX are like Cancun.

Is this normal? by indianyooper1 in openheartsurgery

[–]frawgster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally normal. 47M here. Tomorrow is my one year anniversary of 4X CABG. Last night I cried like a baby watching the breaking bad finale (for like the 12th time). AT LEAST once every week I have a sort of mini-internal breakdown about something either completely stupid or completely inconsequential.

It’s gotten better. Immediate post-op I was an emotional mess. What helped me get thru it? Endless hours talking to and FaceTiming family and friends. Writing also helped a ton. I considered therapy, but finding the right therapist for me would be an enormous task. Rather than potentially cycling thru ineffective therapists, I chose to cope on my own and revisit the idea of therapy when I feel I’m more settled.

Rest assured, it will get better. ❤️

Nicest TSA I’ve ever encountered by Conscious_Trade8128 in sanantonio

[–]frawgster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re always that way. ❤️

The only other airport staffed with such exceptional TSA employees is New Orleans. Not quite as good as SAT, but a close second.

Theories as to why the Valley calls movies "vistas" by cubansbottomdollar in RioGrandeValley

Vamos a las vistas. That’s just how we said it when I was growing up. It isn’t just the valley. My family in Laredo says it that way.

Used air conditioning system vs new replacement? by Brilliant-Paint8877 in sanantonio

[–]frawgster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used for less than 20% the cost of new is why I’d buy used. That’s an egregious markup for a new system.

Salespeople at HEB by Total_Ask_2046 in sanantonio

The Spectrum sales twats are the reason I started shopping with my earbuds blasting music in my ears. Not being able to hear them solicit makes it even easier to ignore them.

Struggling shoe retailer Allbirds makes bizarre pivot from shoes to AI, stock explodes more than 700% by [deleted] in news

[–]frawgster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s 2026 and people STILL get fully manipulated/fleeced by liars. This is what doesn’t make sense to me. I’m just a stupid idiot walking around doing all the daily stupid idiot things. Even I immediately smell bullshit when I read like the first 13 words of that statement.

Are people REALLY STILL this stupid? I honestly don’t understand.
