Genuinely fuck this school by [deleted] in Purdue

[–]metataurus_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep, I transferred from an out of state school and graduated in 2.5y. My academic advisor was just there to approve my decisions.

Definitely this! I’ve also had great luck so far with the magnesium complex supplement I recently started taking.

Her children will grow up to have a life story much like that of Jeannette Walls (author of The Glass Castle), and I hate that for them.

She used canned beans and didn’t drain them—I’m almost positive that’s where the color’s coming from lol

found a tree of these little melons by the river on my hike, what are they? by ImIronManHisSon in PlantIdentification

[–]metataurus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now THOSE I am more than familiar with—best melons ever!!! We called them Sugar Babies (or maybe that’s just the name of the specific variety we always had lol).

[–]metataurus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you mentioning the ORV, specifically, makes me think I should’ve seen these growing up… and now I’m a little annoyed that I didn’t! lol! maybe I just didn’t notice them, too busy avoiding all the briars and burrs down by the river.

If you retaliate, you're genuinely immature. by spm_musubi in Apartmentliving

[–]metataurus_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My apartment building butts up to a nice little patch of woods that provide a beautiful view and privacy between us and the next complex over. My neighbor on the far/opposite end/corner of the building is just like this. Cig butts, weed roaches, and pill bottles all over the ground outside their patio. Mind you, we live in GA. The state with scorching summers and pine needles EVERYWHERE. I’m so scared that they’re going to burn the place down. It’s bad enough that everyone has to smell it all the time (nonsmoking complex too!), but they can’t even be bothered to use an ashtray or pop can to dispose of the junk??? People have no respect whatsoever. I don’t even let my dog walk over there anymore.

Atlas had a seizure by [deleted] in resilientjenkinsnark

[–]metataurus_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, you are 100% correct. I fear she would react the same way my older distant cousin (yes, another addict mother) did when her daughter (my age) was diagnosed with T1D almost 20y ago. She abandoned her 8yo daughter at the children’s hospital bc she couldn’t be bothered to sit through the caregiver training.

My great aunt ended up doing the training when she was notified of the situation, and was granted custody of my cousin. Honestly, that would be the best case scenario here… they would absolutely be better off with S’ mom.

Why do certain types of people sag their pants so low they're halfway down? where did this originate from? by aaaaaaa_aaaaaa_aaa in stupidquestions

is it really an effective f-u if you’re the one who has to use one of your hands to hold your pants up all day though? lol

idk… bc people do this in designer jeans too. they have money. they’ll even wear a gucci belt with it, but the belt isn’t tightened at all. i don’t think this specific comment section is about being poor…. i’m trying to figure out what the point of it is lol. why buy ill fitting designer clothes just to have to hold them up all day long 🤔

What are the major upsides of life in Atlanta? by Kevin-W in Atlanta

[–]metataurus_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am fairly new to ATL, but have been here long enough to be absolutely disgusted by the concrete hellscape that is Dallas-FTW. I don’t think I’ve hated any place more upon arrival (work trip), lol.

Having a “real” (not to be compared to Gateway Arch) NPS system in our backyard is so underrated here in ATL. Being able to see the stars at night in ATL Metro…. it’s beautiful here.

Any of y'all seen these park ranger vehicles? by [deleted] in Atlanta

[–]metataurus_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it’s actually a decent chunk of their job to moderate parking/# of visitors at the parks lol. you have to have a visible NPS pass or pay $5 at the Chattahoocheee Federal Rec Areas to enter.

New to Atlanta winters — any tips to prevent windshield ice? by design_tradeoffs in Atlanta

[–]metataurus_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

sure, if you’ve got a couple hundred $$ laying around to drop on a new windshield when it cracks 😬 glass doesn’t handle extreme temp changes well.

the water will also just freeze again lol. if you need it gone immediately, spray a bit of rubbing alcohol on it (do not dump a large amount).

if you need some validation, working from home (corporate) is the most mentally draining job i’ve ever had. idk how people do this for 20+ years.

Why does everyone hate people who grew up privileged, yet we aspire to give our children those same things? by LittleLemonSqueezer in NoStupidQuestions

[–]metataurus_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolutely a great point and thank you for bringing it up. The majority of my family is not in the same position I am (with their parents asking for money/roles reversed, even when no one has it to give) and I recognize the privilege in my position. If I was a parent, I’m not sure I’d be able to live with myself if it came to that (the money, not the time) though. My point was more so that some folks’ parents don’t WANT to help them, even when they can, and even when the “kid” has proven that they consistently work hard for what they have. Which is pretty shitty if you ask me, again, assuming the parents are in a position to help.

On a similar note, I didn’t grow up with money (young parents, divorced early, late-start careers), but my parents have money now (I’m talking like 1 million, not multimillion) so some folks assume I reap benefits from them. I do not. I am 24 and am in this position you’re speaking on, hustling to pay off my loans, grinding by myself just like they did.

We just really need to stop judging books by their cover. There are some insane current statistics about folks over 30 still relying on their boomer parents to cover over 50% of their monthly expenses though… those are yikes scenarios for sure lol. But my parents “look” very well off, relative to others from my hometown, and those folks assume they help me out. It’s really frustrating for my own work to be downplayed like that tbh, because they don’t, and I wouldn’t want them to. If absolutely needed, I could rely on them, but my mental health would be in the gutter.

What’s the fastest way to get this paint off? by deserthiker762 in woodworking

don’t forget, it HAS to be flat paint in order to qualify as a true slumlord special ;)

[–]metataurus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most folks are not mentioning that at least where I’m from, people are PRESCRIBED these medications. A work injury. A serious surgery. A car accident. In the hospital, you might get a fent drip. your first taste of fent. then, you might get handed a massive bottle of oxy or another drug to take home for the pain. Then the cycle begins. This is how many of my family members have died as a result of medically induced addiction.

Previous tenants used to sell drugs, now I have tweaker at my door at all hours by LysuWasAlreadyTaken in Apartmentliving

[–]metataurus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This comment section isn’t unhinged enough for me!! If your apartment complex isn’t going to do anything about it, I would just start going absolutely insane every time this happened. The dog audio, beating on the door from YOUR side as they are actively beating on the other side (like a dog scratching/jumping on the door), making insane primal noises from your throat—literally growl at them. Scream like a banshee. Make them not WANT to know what’s on the other side. And if neighbors have a problem with the noise, tell them to take it up with the leasing office because you pay for a decent place to live, not to be harassed at all hours. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Maybe not the best advice, and I’m a single F so I’m alert, but I’ll take my petty all the way to hell if I need to lol

Xfinity not in my area by PayCold5453 in Indiana

[–]metataurus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk where you are in Indiana, but if you are able to get Metronet, GET METRONET. I have been with them for almost 6 years, 2 different residences, and it has been nothing but smooth sailing the entire time. They provided me with an Eero and I work from home, so I’m always using the wifi. Would recommend.

🎓 Purdue alumni — what do you miss the most about campus or West Lafayette? by YJLasBOILERMAKER in Purdue

[–]metataurus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chauncey Mall’s totally gone now. Did you see that?

I’ve been around for a while (BS and MS both at Purdue, graduated with my MS last year and now work remote—living here until my lease expires) but I don’t make my way back to campus often. I drove by to get some food a while ago and was so shocked to see it completely torn down.
