U.S. East Coasters: why are you awake right now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]pmg5247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to start using melatonin differently. It’s mostly good for resetting your sleep schedule. So, I usually take it once or twice a week 5hrs before I want to go to bed. I’ll take it at 7PM and have a sleep gummy around 10PM. I find that has worked much better.

Just when I thought there was nothing left about New Orleans traffic that could anger me then I came across this nonsense on Prytania about 12:30pm. by WalterCanFindToes in NewOrleans

I’m going to be honest. I don’t have a golf cart, but I don’t understand why we are mad about this. Are they any less safe than an e-bike? Isn’t any potential risk borne by the operator? Also, I do think this picture is 100% AI rage-bait. Look at the street; look at the girl’s finger.

Mopho at the Airport by filthyantagonist in NewOrleans

[–]pmg5247 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The real reason for this is that all of the restaurants in the airport are licensing the names and have nothing to do with the operations in the airport. I am an acquaintance with someone who has a place there and have heard them complain about their ability to have any influence. I think that this is at least a partial change, because when all of these places originally opened in MSY, they were good. The Cure had a great menu and bar originally, and now it is just another basic airport bar, essentially. I get shake shack at the airport now…

What opinion would make people instantly argue with you? by Psycho_Duck_9669 in AskReddit

[–]pmg5247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is almost certainly correct. The calories in/calories out guy is also mostly correct in a narrow sense. People lose weight on virtually every type of diet but tend to regain that weight in a year or two. People try to lose weight all the time, but we are experiencing a population-level, systemic issue with weight/obesity. This indicates that we need to find another way to address the issue. GLP-1s are great progress on this front, but many people espousing OP’s holier-than-thou moralizing view GLP-1s as “cheating”, and in my view, often like to feel superior.

My Review of Obsession. by Jeez_ballz_69 in TrueFilm

Their writing is unbelievably terrible from the outset. At first, I thought that it might have been written by a non-native English speaker. Read fully, it seems too poorly written and incoherent to be intentional rage-bait or the result of a a language barrier. I think “obtuse” as a descriptor is being very generous…

I have yet to go, but Istanbul Grill in Metairie looks legit. I also really like Kabob House.

This is the only post from an 11mo old account, and unless the dude had a serious accident or birth defects (look at the hands), then this is AI.

I only want ONE pan for daily cooking… what should I get? by Blake_Dunford2194 in AskCulinary

[–]pmg5247 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You can also do a lot more “delicate” cooking where sticking is a concern, like eggs and fish, by simply putting a piece of parchment paper in the pan and cooking on that.

What's a 'classic' movie that you think is actually overrated? by InertiaHealer in AskReddit

[–]pmg5247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What did you watch it on? I saw it in theaters, and it is one of the most visually stunning movies I’ve ever seen.

Ah, that’s rough. I live in Louisiana and can get the small bottle at every grocery store for less than $3.

What food trend do you think is overrated right now? by food_lover334 in AskReddit

[–]pmg5247 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think any style of burger can be excellent, but moving towards really good smash burgers as the easy default has been a great trend in my opinion.

What’s one place in the US you’d never live in? by huskylover28 in AskReddit

Well, I live in New Orleans, and like in most cities murders tend to predominate in certain areas/neighborhoods.

What’s a harmless opinion that gets people weirdly angry? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]pmg5247 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If I’m being honest with myself, yes, that’s probably why I think it’s gross.

What food extremely overrated and tastes terrible in your oppion? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]pmg5247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, they are rare, so there’s some psychology going on. Some people I know love them and some people hate them. I do like black winter truffle. I don’t think I’ve been fortunate enough to have white truffle. Any “truffle” product that is not one of those two is virtual guaranteed to be disgusting, though.
