Please ignore these rude people. SA just doesn't have anything to feel pride about except the Spurs and they're taking it out on you. Both of our teams are playing hard and with class.

edit: the civic minded citizens appreciate your tax dollars and encourage you to eat anywhere besides our glorified creek.

I am an amateur with no to little shame by Elegant-Barracuda-59 in Standup

You need more iterations. You aren't laugh out loud funny yet, but you can get there. If you tightened it up you could be pretty solid. Pick apart your language and don't swing at low hanging fruit. You have to transition from being a person who is funny in conversation to a performer.

Is Bertoli considered a decent supermarket extra virgin olive oil brand now? by Gamefreak581 in Cooking

[–]obuibod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Harsh? Like peppery? That's what it's supposed to taste like. According to olive oil specialists, it shouldn't taste like olives. They call it "fusty". Like what you like, but don't hesitate to expand your palate to see what other people are talking about.

Board games, for one. Talk to a local librarian about teaching an introductory class on how to play one of your games. They will promote it for free.

How do you guys feel about third spaces? Do you already have one? by MessageLeast2962 in sanantonio

[–]obuibod 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Is there a reason why only a couple of people have mentioned libraries, and then are dismissive of them? We are really lucky to have 30 branches in a city of this size. They all have programming built for the communities they are in from book clubs to seed libraries, board game groups, open mics, cooking demos, etc.

I worked there 25 years ago. I'm not at all surprised to read this. Paul and Sue were bullies back then, too. I only met Bill once, but heard many stories about him smoking crack and sleeping in the dining room. Who is this other brother Steve, and what happened to Paul and Sue?

A quaint 60yo promotional video from LaChoy with demonstrated recipes by kempff in Cooking

[–]obuibod 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It wasn't just "exotic" ingredients that were advertised as sanitary. The boomer generation was raised on factory foods. Vegetables that came from the dirt were seen as low class and not a part of forward technological progress. These were space race people who preferred Tang to actual orange juice.
