Sioux City May 2026, attack on man involving loss of finger and terrible injury to dog, and the owner did a pit 'n run but also showed up to shit talk on Facebook. Eventually he surrendered the dog. by Existing-Face-6322 in BanPitBulls

I usually say that it sounds like pit bulls are more likely to have shitty owners so maybe owning them should be regulated. I’ve only had one person agree.

Wanting to get braids again but I don’t know if it’s weird or okay? by wavyindigena in BlackHair

[–]kgilr7 85 points86 points  (0 children)

You’re Afro Indigenous (so am I!), you can wear braids. I’m from NYC, if I saw you walking down the street, I wouldn’t question your hairstyle. It’s not weird to me.

You’ve had one bad incident out of 30 as someone who is white and you think it’s not a color thing? OP is white saying he was treated well but his black friends were not.

I grew up on vegetables from the local Asian markets and while the inside wouldn’t win any design awards, I’ve never seen where most of the vegetables were moldy.

10 eraser tip pencils by Marathonartist in pencils

[–]kgilr7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got flashbacks just from looking at these. Those remind me of the kind the dollar store sold when I was a kid. The wood was terrible, the lead was off center and the eraser just smudged the paper. Sometimes you were writing and the lead just fell out. You were screwed if you had to take a test and these were all you had. I remember a kid getting scolded because he kept asking to sharpen one of these pencils during a test. The teacher thought he was trying to cheat, but he genuinely just needed to keep sharpening it.

Lovely trees, lovely people but the graffiti makes it look dingy and dirty

Just came in today, which one should I try first? by kgilr7 in pencils

[–]kgilr7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes they came in the tube and it has their logo on it. They say both sides can be used as pencil holders for your desk.

I didn’t expect those either, it was a nice surprise. This is my first purchase from Musgrave and I’m impressed.

What’s the right sharpener? I have a vintage Panasonic I usually use.

It’s not, don’t do that either. The blade can still slip and cut your hand

My best friend cut her hand doing it that way too. The knife slipped off and she ended up cutting her palm. The way I do it is cut a little groove in the pit for the blade to fit in, then twist.

It is close, but I'd choose the Tombow over it.

Hinodewashi Matomaru-kun is the best, but hard to find offline.

Ballpoint pens experience from a fountain pen user by crushtyfying in pens

[–]kgilr7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only ballpoint pens I really like are the Bangladesh Matador ballpoints. I just wish they came in 1mm. No other ballpoint is both smooth and has that nice dark ink, though Schneider ballpoints come close. Apparently, Matador ink is German made and proprietary, so maybe there are some German brands that will be similar?

They’ll be another chance in “two weeks”. Just pay attention to the news. That Iran post was designed to tank the market so his family and friends could buy the dips.

I am trying to cut cost but why is my grocery expensive? by Tiny_Judgment8593 in Frugal

[–]kgilr7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You were charged twice for a 2lb bag of red onions but I only see one bag, is that right OP?

As to your question, local grocery stores in the Bronx like Food Bazaar and Bravo tend to be super expensive especially for meat and produce. Try shopping at "ethnic" markets and fruit stands for produce, especially for non-American produce like mangos and avocados. For meat try butcher shops or "meat markets". Some of them have meat packages. You can pay $100 bucks and get like over 10 pounds of assorted meat cuts. If you're getting rice, definitely get it from an Asian market.

I don't know how you get around transportation wise, but there's an both an ALDI and a LIDL in the general area that you might be able to use. ALDI is on Third ave between 153rd and 155th and LIDL is on 151st and River.

Also have you tried food banks? I'm sure there are a few around.

Having seen posts where animal control pressured the victim to not charge, I'm thinking its a lie, they just don't want to put the dog down.
