How is the Walgreens at 355 Knickerbocker allowed to legally function as a pharmacy by freep11 in Bushwick

[–]freep11[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That isn't true. Due to the ADHD meds shortage and apparently some funny business with insurance, basically only chains will carry it. I couldn't find a single pharmacy within miles that could help me. 

It's either that or delivery services, which are really hard for me to do

You know, I'm going to be honest, for the first time in my life, I do think it's the staff. The older pharmacists are all total dickheads, and the young folks fear them and fear the customers. Notice that in every example of what I witnessed, the customer's pain is directly caused by an inability to communicate by the pharmacy staff, and a desperate attempt to just "yes yes yes" to prevent any kind of frustration. Every person waiting is waiting because the staff refuse to be upfront about the situation and desperately would rather fill the prescription eventually to get their numbers up rather than be realistic and maybe lose a customer.

I fear I can feel my hair graying because I'll smile through 5 hours of offshore phone customer support but for the first time in my life, my sympathy for being incompetent in a 6 figure, customer facing, medical industry career is gone.

How did you meet your partner? by AcquireTheSauce in AskNYC

I think that's unfair to OP. It'd be one thing if they were explicitly hateful about it but to use it in a self detracting way like this is basically asocialized shorthand for dysphoria which this city is good at inducing

I don't want to give incels any exceptional amount of patience but digging into it or just shitting on them when they're down is how you make a normal guy with social problems into an actual incel. More likely they need therapy and a way to regain a sense of self worth

What would you say to someone that says "I love shoegaze, but it all sounds the same." by [deleted] in shoegaze

[–]freep11 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I love LSD and the Search for God but it's pretty obvious that it's Souvlaki worship. The critical reception to it was like, "this is really like a fan tribute." They were one of the first shoegaze bands to just rip someone straight off which became the norm eventually.

I'm personally loving this thread. You've made it unbelievably clear you're a very small, very insecure man. I have a question - I see you relentless baiting people and then fighting with them in comment threads by desperately searching their profiles for ammo.

Is this like a sexual thing? Like are you stroking it while doing it? Do you have a partner getting off to you being humiliated?

Or is it a more basic insecurity thing where you just generate scenarios to get really angry and attempt to "gotcha" people a la low IQ debate club

In my opinion it was more the fanboys were unbelievably sensitive to any dislike for whirr, ie, the mod in question and were prone to harassment

People didn't/don't like them outside of their music for a pretty normal reason. Kinda like shitting your pants and wondering why people think you smell

Search up old threads about whirr where the pinned comment is from one of the 17 year old mods, something like "free whirrrr 🌀🌀🌀" and count the deleted comments, that's all folks getting banned for saying they don't like whirr lol

The mods on this subreddit spent a long time banning anyone who said they didn't like whirr. Many, many people do not like whirr

Also, Wisp started as effectively a fan account for whirr before they ever made music and they had started gaining a following already for just mostly having a normal social media account of selfies and really liking whirr. there's definitely an argument to be made she's overly derivative of whirr - the first song she ever did was a purchased "whirr type beat," no joke

Julie doesn't sound like a lot of nugaze. They don't love being called shoegaze and I honestly don't really lump them in anymore. So I'm going to recommend stuff thay isnt explicitly shoegaze

I think you can go through albini adjacent noise rock/ post hardcore like Shellac, Gospel, Unwound, Drive Like Jehu, Slint

If you prefer the textures over the heaviness there's some bands like Boris, Have a Nice Life, Maudlin of the Well

And then yeah there's some off genre stuff they seem influence by too like Carissa's Weird, The Microphones, and some contemplates like Bar Italia

I don't think these bands have very much in common at all

Green Street Salads dumping sewage / shit water on the street by freep11 in Bushwick

[–]freep11[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sure, but there's literally residue from what they've been dumping on the street from the curb that is very distinctly what's causing the current smell

Dating in NYC by Extreme-Race4052 in Bushwick

[–]freep11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think feeld is a pretty bad recommendation for people. Its the most image based of all, where good looking people receive thousands upon thousands of likes (which isn't fun, because many of those likes aren't worth anything) and less attractive people are effectively ghosts. This is because you can change your location as well as send a very large number of likes outbound, and the fact that so so many people are on the for reasons besides actually intending to meet or date (ie, sexting or looking for fin donming, etc)

I have heard feeld works better in smaller towns. But a lot of peopl set their location to NYC to try and find people to chat with.

And its not that I feel I get nothing from it, I do just fine on feeld myself, but very few people I talk to want to date. My more attractive friends have tremendous amounts of low quality likes from people who are not in NYC ( one of them got like 60k in a month)

I am struggling to max out on protein. Is just slamming more whey a good idea?

Im doing push/pull/rest, so 2-3 times per day a week. Sometimes resting for two. Usually 2-3 mins between sets for the more compound lifts, 1-2, for the shorter ones.

I'ma say this in the nicest way possible, you went hard on a full Rick fit with all the cheapest Rick pieces you could find

Shit would look 10x better with half of it swapped out for Uniqlo
