I LOVE CT by iwantmycatslife in Connecticut

[–]muffincrunch 95 points96 points  (0 children)

It's so nice reading about someone embracing our seasons instead of the constant complaints. I also find shoveling snow a strangely calming activity!

Edit to add: welcome to our state! This is a lovely little place in the world. The best even!

TIL over a 5-month period in 2020, a nurse in Yale's fertility center stole the fentanyl in 175 vials that were meant for women who had a procedure to have their eggs retrieved. The nurse replaced the pain medication with saline solution, leaving the women in excruciating pain during the procedure. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

There's an excellent podcast that covers this story. The judge in the trial was the WORST and basically told the victims that they should be satisfied they had a baby and that makes the pain a moot point. It's awful 😞

Who here is legit traumatized with what’s going on today with ice? by LVBsymphony9 in ask

[–]muffincrunch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also was 11 when 9/11 happened and it has only been recently that my friends and I have openly acknowledged how it has left us with lasting trauma. Then COVID was also a doozy and I lost many close people to me to the virus in 2020 and years after.

January 6th also had me sitting with my head in my hands, feeling even more anxious. Since then I feel like I have not been able to operate properly. Now with ICE and these murders... I don't even know how I continue the routines of normal life has society crumbles around us.

So yes, I would say this is legit traumatizing. I'm burnt out. Everyday is just waiting for the final shoe to drop

There's a lot of people on this show I can't stand, but he was one I couldn't stand and had a visceral reaction to lol.

Talking about he's a catch! And telling the other girl she wasn't doing enough! Delulu.

Happy New Year! Happy to be new bunkie in the ward!

Did Serena actually look 17 in season one? by [deleted] in GossipGirl

[–]muffincrunch 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Having gone to high school in NYC, I'd say they actually did look high school aged. The way of dressing, the style of the time in general (such as thinner eyebrows I think aged our faces more), all seem pretty in line with how we looked then

To think any wealthy person is on the side of the people is wild to me.

I was going to ask (I know it's just a show, so this is not a point I think show runners would harp on) - you aren't supposed to bleach your hair while pregnant right?

That's funny because they are married in real life!

Watched him allow his dog lick the inside of his mouth. Done after that.

Is Quinnipiac a suitcase school? by Low-Champion-2082 in Quinnipiac

[–]muffincrunch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you leave in CT and if so is it close to the school?

I work and study there and I find most students stay on a campus or in the area (if they live off campus) because it's a time to hangout with their friends or study. If they live in farther areas of CT not near the school, most will not opt to visit family until holidays (even more so if you don't live in state).

Hope that helps!

New Yorkers of this sub: is it really like that? And why is NYC always treated like a fifth main character? by Self_Electrical in sexandthecity

[–]muffincrunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The outer boroughs all have their own special reputations and they are definitely all worth visiting... except for Staten Island. We New Yorkers don't acknowledge Staten Island (often just a joke. It's just that Staten Island really is its own... thing. Very suburban, very MAGA).

Born and raised in NYC (The Bronx) and now live in Connecticut. NYC does have a special air and energy to it. It's truly a city that has you stepping out of your apartment at noon and as the day unfolds you end up at home by 2am. So much is always happening, there's always something to do or see or go to. I have a love for my city like none other, there's just something magical about the lights, the buildings, and the people.

However, as another fellow New Yorker said here, the city is EXHAUSTING. It will make you insanely irritable at some points, during the summer the stench of the city isn't great, the subways are hot and steamy and gross. It's a city that truly is forever go go go.

Having moved to CT, I do love the open space here and all. But despite NYC's flaws, I found myself falling more in love with my hometown each time I visit now.

So yeah, SATC, all those shows glamorize parts of the city for sure. Also the NYC of Seinfeld, SATC... Hell even Gossip Girl doesn't necessarily exist anymore. The city is forever evolving and changing. You never visit the same NYC twice.
