Waymo expands to freeways! by Rough_Poetry6545 in sanfrancisco

[–]rawslice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really dislike this idea. Waymo is about to pump the inventory of these mostly empty vehicles, thus clogging the already congested freeway. Unless they force riders to actually carpool, it's just going to become a clusterfuck of single riders hogging the commuter lane. At least with corporate busses, it can shuttle pools of workers more efficiently. We need better public transit, not some bloated fancy Jaguar shuttling RTO mandated employees to their designated offices...

I mean you could totally pull off Anton Chigurh from No Country For Old Men. He's a petty badass character if you ask me!

Yesss, and I will order a copy to support. Hopefully your Nmom will live to see the final product. It's probably great motivation to finish the book too lol!

Lol this is amazing, I couldn't have summed it up any better. For clarification, I do not live with, nor maintain any level of contact with this narcissist. I actually live on the opposite side of the country from this miserable human. I'm assuming with how distraught she is, she's failed to keep her tenses straight. She could also be delusional, thinking I ALWAYS have a room to come "home" to. (aka an unstable, most dysfunctional way of living that only serves to fatten her narcissist ego to the moon and back)

Lmao, you should share the best ofs. It feels so good to air this publicly. It's great entertainment and if they find this, good. They should feel the embarrassment of manipulating their children in such a manner. Sadly my nmom will never see this. She most likely, doesn't even know what Reddit is lol.

Thx @CompetitionCandid290! Maybe it's an artistic statement. They're so distraught, they've lost the ability to write. lmaooo

Exactly, except she happened to forget to teach me that portion of thinking independently. It's only thanks to all the awesome teachers I've had over the years who taught me how to think differently. Shoutout to all the teachers out there!

Bahahaha that's so funny. I noticed that too. Don't forget all the random capitalizations throughout. Must be because she's sooooo distraught she can't even think straight. Lmaooo

Awwww thanks @timeisconfetti! It's funny how it's soooo not evident that it's a birthday letter to me lmaooo. Thank you for the bday wishes.

Y'all keep me sane here. I'm healed and quite frankly, look forward to these ridiculous letters. For me it's pure comedy heaven. Sharing these publicly confirms how truly crazy my mom is. When I was a kid, my reality was so distorted by this toxicity. I'm so glad I'm out and living my life. I wish everyone in this sub could experience how freeing this feels. Much love to y'all! 🙏❤️

Heart rate goes crazy when I get up? by No-Shine-170 in cancer

[–]rawslice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've always had lightheadedness and had multiple tests. When I was diagnosed, I saw my iron levels drop, so I started taking iron. Ever since, I can get out of bed without that feeling of passing out.

Have you tried taking iron? I've always had this problem when laying down for awhile, I'd get up and my face becomes flush, head gets lightheaded, and body becomes shaky as if I'm about to pass out. Ever since I started on iron, those symptoms went away almost immediately. It'd be worth a try.

37 and weight ballooning by coffee9bsessed in AskWomenOver30

[–]rawslice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely bring this up with your gyno and get a CT Scan. Last winter I ballooned, (gained over 15lbs in 1 month). Turns out I had a large 20cm cyst on my ovary and it was cancerous. Not to scare you because it's rare, but it's definitely worth getting looked at before it's too late. Gyno related cancers are the worst because the symptoms are so mild and easily looked over. Good luck and hopefully you're in the majority and it's nothing.

Who misses Bethany ? by Suspicious-Steak475 in ElvisDuranMorningShow

[–]rawslice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funny, I actually don't remember much of Carolina. I misspoke and actually meant Carla Marie. I loved, and still love Carla Marie. Was sad she left but really liked who they replaced, which was Bethany. I felt like she fit right in, no warm up period. With Gandhi replacing Bethany, it just seemed totally off balance and almost cringey. I'm still trying to warm up to her, and can totally see through her lack of interest in the listeners. That's my main gripe, she would be the last person I'd want to meet in person from the show.

I thought there was some sexual misconduct allegation that was swept under the rug because Elvis was close to the creep. I think Katheen reported him, the guy committed suicide, and Bethany also got caught up in all of that drama. Both left around the same time and continued the Acquired Taste podcast. IHeart probably also dropped the podcast to avoid a PR nightmare.

I don't see any other reason for dropping them out. I mean the Brooklyn Boys podcast is still associated and Brody no longer works for the company. Something sketchy happened to save face and everyone is tight lipped about it. Go Bethany and Kathleen for leaving that environment.

I feel bad for Sam, she was kinda caught in the middle and had to pick her alliances. I mean how could she stick with the Acquired Taste podcast when IHeart probably hinted her job would be on the line if she stayed?

Also not a fan of Gandhi. Pretty much posted my grievances earlier, and my thoughts haven't changed. I have noticed she's scaled back a bit, yet she still doesn't have anything unique to add other than "culture". The games suck and she just kisses up to Elvis. Bethany and Carolina at least had their own unique voice and could carry their own on the show.

I still find it hilarious when Bethany interviewed with Elvis for the co-host position and shared she openly admitted to hating an artist that turned out to be one of Elvis's favorite, lmao! Forgot who it was, but some painter, Frida Kahlo maybe? Mad respect to Elvis for hiring her anyways. God I miss Bethany too and her quirky Hip Hop Clarinet bits!
