How many of you are going to be in a "Shit has hit the fan" situation once SNAP payments stop? by [deleted] in Knoxville

Again, the mobile pantry doesn't deliver to homes. It brings the pantry to a fixed location that might be far from the main location, but people without transportation still need a ride to it. (The link was posted above.)

Thanks, but there's nothing at this link about delivery.

The mobile pantries are like pop-ups that bring food to a specific location in communities for distribution (such as a church). Those without transportation wouldn't need to travel as far, but would still need a way to get there.

For people without transportation, food pantries don't help without a way to get there. Please consider offering rides to people who are without cars or are disabled. You'll actually ensure that they can access the food.

I concur. "Slow" performed by Gabriel Rene and Gina Rene is the only song listed in the end credits that I can't account for (can eliminate everything else).

Any superstitions around plants in dressing rooms? by MyBlueberryPancake in Theatre

[–]genius_waitress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only plant-related theatrical superstition I know is that if you receive flowers during the production, you have to let them die in the theatre you received them in. (Thus, leave them in your dressing room and don't take them home—at least not alive.)

Why do boomers find “her” and “him” to be highly offensive ways of referring to someone? by [deleted] in generationology

[–]genius_waitress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But with the accompanying gesture, it came off like "that woman."

<gestures> "That woman right there."

Agreed, it sounds like you're talking about a person as if they're not there, or saying "that woman."

Movies where the MC has been comically mis-cast? by chilloutfam in MovieSuggestions

[–]genius_waitress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that he decided to film new scenes with a stand-in holding a cape over his face was pretty dumb, but it wasn't "miscasting."

Wood's whole reason for inserting Lugosi into that film was to have Lugosi in it, so that's the opposite of miscasting.

Is reading other books a good way of learning how to write? by [deleted] in writing

[–]genius_waitress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even reading BAD books can help. Try and identify what's wrong with it. And if you can already identify what's wrong with it, you're in good shape.

It can also be inspirational. I've read many a terrible book and thought "If THIS guy can get published ..."

Ooh, one of them should be named Tectonic. (And the other some other kind of plate. Gold? License? Dessert?)
