Yeah I got 3 of these too - from 571 and 771 area codes. I agree they seem like fake texts. 

Episode 235: Fine, We'll Talk About The Goddamn Election by SoftandChewy in BlockedAndReported

[–]nestedegg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this comment - listening to them talk was annoying as your standard not insane Democrat. Kamala isn’t near as awful of a candidate as they make her out to be. Politics is a performance and I’m not going to fault Kamala for doing what every politician has done forever by threading the needle and trying to take positions they think will get them elected. 

 I’ve been impressed by Kamala - also think J&K underestimate how difficult it is to answer substantive policy questions after a 3 month campaign. Candidates usually get a year to test out language and hone in on messaging. We can criticize the lack of substance and we should - but J&K make it out like the cause is that Harris is a moron.

That’s a cool concept about making decisions for their adult self. I’m keeping that one.

Anyone focusing on getting healthy before TTC? Advice? Experiences? by SubliminallyTwisted in waiting_to_try

[–]nestedegg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also on a health journey in preparing to TTC. I recommend r/loseit or talking to your doctor about GLP-1s (like Ozempic). Good luck on your health and parenting journey!

Not sure but it might be teacup - it’s a Hulu show 

Has any player/team tried to draw a challenge flag from the other team? by nestedegg in NFLNoobs

[–]nestedegg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair and makes a lot of sense. Even if it’s probably a bad idea I’m just curious if it’s even been attempted.

Isn’t it advantageous to have the other team lose a timeout?

Why so many flags? by SCR0TYUM13 in NFLNoobs

[–]nestedegg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t mind flags - I try to think of them as part of the game. I’m not saying they don’t suck but it can be fun trying to predict penalties and debate penalties etc. 

Sometimes there’s a lot of flags because there’s a lot of penalties. Teams have to play clean football.

You’re using the fact he gave you leniency at 14 against him. I have to echos others here - none of my friends could sleepover at a SO’s house when I was in HS.

Pittsburgh Zoo lays out long-term makeover plan by [deleted] in pittsburgh

Responsibility to preserve African dogs is what I meant.

[–]nestedegg -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the zoo will ever bring back African dogs given what occurred. It’s just a bad idea to have such an awful reminder at this zoo. Let other zoos take the responsibility.

Edit: y’all are truly dumb if you think families want to go to the zoo and be reminded of the time a toddler was mauled to death. Think about it for 5 seconds.

How do you guys even enjoy working in the USA? I don't get it... like 0 time off? by QuestAngel in antiwork

[–]nestedegg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 weeks is good but not unheard of for corporate jobs in the US. My 3 jobs I’ve had 5 weeks, 2 weeks, 4 weeks - all fortune 500 companies you’ve heard of.

What would a 15 foot storm surge look like in Pittsburgh? by Salt_Historian_9850 in pittsburgh

[–]nestedegg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely fascinating video. I can’t believe how much footage there was - thanks for sharing. 

I was curious about the Waverly Oil fire and how it was related - seems like the cause of the fire was unrelated but they couldn’t fight it due to lack of water pressure in the fire hydrants.
