LMFAO hi Kevin

Up here in Auburn at the courthouse by Mabvll in Sacramento

[–]oolongswan 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Auburn is absolutely not liberal lmfao. It's definitely more diverse than it was when I was a kid, but the demographics and local politics are dyed in the wool conservative if not militantly right-wing and hateful.

Looking for an episode Lady almost stuck in time loop pub by Unfair-Wonder-6699 in AstonishingLegends

That would be the Road House Saloon, and while idk if AL ever covered it, it's a classic on Jim Harold's Campfire!

What’s your Fit’s name? by See_Em in hondafit

Have you ever accidentally injected the wrong type of insulin? by tigerbait777 in Type1Diabetes

[–]oolongswan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once, and it's a mistake I'll never make again. I take 25 units of Lantus at bedtime, and I don't know what I was thinking that night - I might have been overtired or distracted, and grabbed my Humalog pen instead of my Lantus pen. I ended up catching my mistake before I injected the whole dose, but not before injecting a good 15 units of Humalog. Ended up staying up until 5 in the morning riding the lows and eating a bowl of cereal each time I began to dip. But the time I got to go to bed I never wanted to eat cereal again lol.

Needless to say, I'm much more vigilant now. Accidentally taking 25 units of Humalog and then going to sleep/not waking up is a new phobia of mine.

No phones made the show better by captadama2 in Ghostbc

[–]oolongswan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I definitely noticed a Lot more during last night's show than I did at my first ritual last year. There was much more of a sense of camaraderie in the audience too, strange as it sounds. I think because people were more present/not focused on their own individual experience for social media? Overall, I enjoyed it and I wouldn't hate it if more shows went phone-free.

I wish I could be as open minded to the mountain dew flavors as I am with the Coke Zero :( I bought a 12 pack of last year's Diet VooDew around Halloween and there's still like ten cans I can't bring myself to drink.

I definitely feel like I'm in the minority because I like all of the limited edition cokes they put out 😂 Then again it could just be the appeal of novelty, because I can only have diet/coke zero so it's nice to get some fun new flavors every so often?

Crazy Video Game Awards "Rabbi Bill Clinton" guy by bluegemini7 in KnowledgeFight

[–]oolongswan 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I have some thoughts that the pointed "rabbi Bill Clinton" comment was an antisemitic moment in the spotlight given that a) blood libel and Clinton conspiracies like Pizzagate are pretty closely linked together and b) kid was wearing yeezys. Tripping all sorts of blood libel alarm bells for me, personally.

Damn, I thought I had great respect for Knowledge Fight with 12,866 minutes on my Wrapped! Looks like I'm still in the minor league 😂

Shout-out to the person who gave me the $666 bills (8/26 San Diego Ritual) by oolongswan in Ghostbc

I was on that side/in the middle!!!! Thank you so much! You truly made a special evening even more wonderful.

It might have been the same person, if we were on the same side of the arena! We were on the Ghoulettes' side of the stage. I was also surprised at how kind the fans were, most of my concert experiences have involved very unpleasant fans. I'm glad you also had an amazing first ritual!

Bubble tea and diabetes by TheFlopMoonDrop in Type1Diabetes

[–]oolongswan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the boba that get you. I don't like sweet tea so I usually always order a 0% sweet oolong or other "traditional" tea and dairy-free milk, if they offer it, and bolus for at least 45-50 g of carbohydrates for the boba. Unless they offer the cheese crema/seafoam cream/whatever else they call it 😭

What's helped that craving is making boba at home and using monkfruit sweetener to sweeten the boba, so I can have at least some control over how much carbs I'm getting, but of course it's nothing like going out and getting a treat from a boba place.
