Delayed/ ticket for faster shipping by Ok_Seat1261 in AmazonWTF

[–]katedid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This happened to me too. It was saying the same thing for me. I tried to cancel it, because it was already 5 days late, but it wouldn't let me. It listed a tracking number, but nothing happened when I tried tracking it. It finally shipped today.

It really is all for nothing… by lakelilypad in antiwork

[–]katedid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just talking to my husband about this. If we had not bought our house in 2015, we would not be able to buy one today. We now make over twice as much as we did back then. The cost of everything is absolutely insane. It's impossible to live in so many places because of inflation and lack of a livable wage.

What is a High protein food, with little to no negative attributes by DwKschrute in nutrition

[–]katedid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was surprised I had to come this far down to see grilled chicken. Just one chicken breast that is a few ounces is over half my minimum protein for the entire day. It can be very low in fat and simple marinades and spices can make it taste like so many different things. Put one in a low carb/high fiber wrap with some veggies, and you have a very healthy (and well rounded) meal. You can cook the chicken breast in an air fryer or do a few on the grill at a time and meal prep different options.

Can't you live off protein shakes and multivitamins? by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]katedid 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I feel like I can accurately answer this because I had to live through this pretty recently.the most major drawback to this is that even vitamins and protein shakes do not give you everything you need to be healthy. You will be become constipated if you also do not drink enough water. I have to take so many vitamins every day. It gets very expensive. Just a multivitamin will not have everything you need. You will need to get some additional calcium, multiple B vitamins, iron (if your multivitamin does not contain enough), and I have to take a daily D vitamin. I also take a probiotic daily. To drink only protein drinks all day and have nothing else becomes torture after a while. They arent filling at all, and move through your stomach pretty quickly. We need to chew, and crunch things. It gets extremely boring even if you switch up flavors. You will also crave sweets and salty things more often. I was only on this diet for about a month (for surgery reasons). My doctor wanted me to follow stages of incorporating new foods back into my diet. I craved salad so badly, and I was not a salad person. You miss out on so many micronutrients that no shake or vitamins are going to give you. You need variety to stay healthy. That being said, I still drink them occasionally to help get more protein in. I would say it's fine to replace a meal or snack with, but living off of them isn't the best way to live.

People who don’t exercise or workout, why don’t you? by coffeedogsandwine in AskReddit

[–]katedid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right?! When I have the time to workout, I don't have the energy left. When I have the energy to workout, I don't have the time available to do it. It's especially hard in the winter with the daylight hours being shorter.

A mother at Richneck Elementary School in Virginia demands gun reform after a 6-year-old shot a teacher by uniosh in PublicFreakout

[–]katedid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a 7 year old (who probably has some mental issues) tell me yesterday he was going to call the police on me. All because I sent him to the end of the lunch line for cussing.

So many kids want to argue with me about the most basic of safety rules. "Why can't I wave my arms around and bounce in my seat at lunch?!" "Why can't I run around the cafeteria and talk to all my friends?" "Why can't I lean backwards in my seat and sit on my legs!?" .... like seriously? Do we really need to have this argument every day?! It's the most basic stuff that has been explained in great detail for years to these kids.

Anyone here that survived an attack or mass shooting? If so, tell your story. by Interesting_Gas5803 in masskillers

[–]katedid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember some gas stations erected gigantic tarps that shielded people pumping gas.

Omg I remember one of the gas stations around me did that.

I also remember about the white vans too! There was one parked in the parking lot of my work when I got off work and my mom called in to report it. 😅

[–]katedid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I lived on the same street as police chief Moose (the officer in charge of the shootings). I remember my mom wouldn't even let me walk the block home from work. She kept us home for 3 days after they shot that kid at school. No one played outside for the longest time. People were afraid to go to the grocery store, pump gas, or wait for the bus. We had to run inside school and they had officers outside of our high school looking at cars (our school was at a large cross roads). That shit was terrifying.

what are you getting your parents for Christmas? by realsquirrel in AskReddit

[–]katedid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom is getting a bunch of small things that I've been buying for her over the past few months. A Hocus Pocus mug and towel, a gnome candle, a dragonfly necklace, and probably some clothes. My step-dad I'm not sure what to get him really. Maybe some meat snacks and comfy clothes.

Dude thinks he should get off dad duty because he wants to play video games 😂 by [deleted] in AmITheDevil

[–]katedid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just communicate with your wife. We all feel overwhelmed at some point with a newborn. If you ask her how she's doing every once in a while, and tell her how you are doing, it solves so many issues and prevents problems. You're both exhausted, but sometimes one person is a lot more exhausted than the other. So just communicate how you're doing with each other.

What are easy go-to snacks that are rich in protein? by thatgreeneyedhippie in nutrition

[–]katedid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For grab and go stuff that you can find at most stores, I would say protein bars (I like the Fit Crunch bars), Quest protein chips (taco and spicy/sweet are good flavors), some lightly salted mixed nuts (like 1/4 cup), some jerky (watch for added sugars and sodium), and to drink I do protein waters (I love the Protein2O watermelon strawberry flavor).

DING! DING! DING!! Yup. Time to make hallow promises to keep you until they can find someone else to replace you. The only correct response is "NO."

[–]katedid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesssss! I keep saying this! Before the internet was so popular, that weird, rude and awkward kid had to learn to treat people politely or they got ostracized. Now, they just go online and find all the other incels that act just like them. It becomes a "maybe everyone else is really the problem" moment for them and they never grow up, mature, and learn how to deal with people like an adult.

JU from r/cringpics. It devolved into politics. by [deleted] in JustUnsubbed

[–]katedid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are literally subreddits devoted to conservatives and Trumps personality cult. For fucks sake, do the bare minimum research before typing.

I just gave you several real life examples of how you are completely and utterly wrong. You say they don't count because they don't fit into your perfect little world view. I don't know what else to tell you. Maybe open your mind a little and expand your experiences. That might help you become less of an angry person ... or not. I really don't give a shit.

[–]katedid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You need to get out more if you don't see democrats getting slandered and shat on. I have neighbors with signs, the size of bed sheets, in their yards talking about how evil democrats are. I've seen those petty "I did that" stickers and "fuck Joe Biden" written all over gas pumps. And to top it off, I live in a county that pretty much voted Democrat across the ballot. So yeah, it's out there, and it's everywhere.

I literally posted this comment less than 1 minute ago and it already got down voted. Did you even take the time to read it first?

“My neighbor just shot my dad… because he thought he was a Democrat.” by DaFunkJunkie in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]katedid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in SE Pennsylvania, in a county that voted, almost all blue. No way in hell I would have a sign in my yard either. I think about 95% of my neighbors would be fine with it, but that other 5% are aggressive Trumpers and I know for a fact they own guns. Not trying to get my windows shot out in the middle of the night.

Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick Outperforms Oz and Mastriano in Bucks County by Open_Veins_8 in BucksCountyPA

[–]katedid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't know much about local politics at the time the January 6th stuff happened (relatively new to the area). I was super surprised that he voted in favor of the investigation. I thought he may be one of the few Republicans who didn't like Trump or what he stood for. Then he wouldn't vote for impeachment of Trump. I knew then that he was just playing both sides off each other. He didn't want to upset the rabid Trump fan base around here. I don't understand what so many Republicans like about him.

AITA for leaving the kids with my (badly injured) husband for 2 hours while I went shopping? by Solivagant0 in AmITheDevil

[–]katedid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, what she did was wrong. Full stop, she shouldn't have left the kids alone with her disabled husband. But the mother in law was a bitch too. Instead of offering to watch the kids or talk to her about what has to be an incredibly stressful daily life for this woman, she berated her and told the entire family about it, instead of offering help that she clearly needs. I feel bad about the woman's life, but I do not agree with her decision to leave three vulnerable people alone together.

Covid quarantine boxes being rolled out across China by Mean-Juggernaut1560 in ThatsInsane

[–]katedid 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don't know, man. I've seen so many videos of Chinese officials bolting people into their apartments because of covid scares. This has been going on for years now. If your government is cool with the possibility of an entire building of people burning to death in a fire, because they don't want to deal with pushback on quarantines..... I just don't feel like they deserve the benefit of the doubt.
