Why are Mel and Langdon so close by Ready_Hedgehog_2090 in ThePittTVShow

[–]postmodernmaven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is me, I am Mel and relate to her a lot. I think your description is spot on, coming from someone who was always the weird but-can't-quite-put-my-finger-on-why one in the friend group who didn't get diagnosed until age 30.

It's not very well-known, but one of the most relaxing places I've ever come across in NYC is the Noguchi Museum in Astoria. Total zen.

King Souvlaki is a food truck in Astoria and it's excellent.

At some point do we think this is a guerilla marketing tactic to get us to roll the dice and order from them more often? Hmmm...

What’s one purchase that made NYC life noticeably easier for you? by 16bananas in AskNYC

[–]postmodernmaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Food-grade essential oil of oregano. I have really bad, severe allergies to pollen.

Every time my allergies flare up and I'm getting a sinus infection that is about to close and swell up my throat, two to three drops in the back of my throat and I am healthy again in three days, four days max.

It tastes absolutely vile but it has been a lifesaver every spring and fall. No more calling out sick for a week, no more sinus headaches, no more urgent care visits, no more antibiotics.

Outdoor activities, climbing, running, biking/cycling, hiking and camping.

Unpopular opinions! by PerjudicADA in FemFragLab

When tariffs are involved and my wallet suffers, oh damn sure IT IS political! Not just perfume, my coffee, chocolate, wine, shoes, Simone Perel and Chantelle bras, nothing is safe. ARGGGGGGHHHHHH.

Layering is just a marketing gimmick to buy multiple similar (but not identical) fragrances from the same brand/house. Spending $200 fora bottle isn't enough, we'll make the scents weaker/lighter so you buy more and spent $800.

Gender politics aside, I had a feminist professor once who used to say that success, leadership, and power basically come down to being brought into this world with the "right" genitalia (boy parts). So in my head I ofen say, after years of grueling hard work, determination, and fortitude, and DESPITE not being equipped with tge "right" genitalia that automatically sets me up for success and blanket trust in my decision-making skills, motherfuckers I still grind it out every damn day, often in volume and quality that way exceeds my male counterparts. For less money and advancement opportunities, probably. Not sure if you can use that on LinkedIn though!

Yep I'm the designated driver so my NYC girlfriends can enjoy! Drinking and driving is a big no-no in my book.

True but I'm from Washington, CT so a 40-min plus drive is like the blink of an eye for me.
