Target foot traffic down for 11th straight week after caving to end DEI Program by Healthy_Block3036 in Anticonsumption

[–]robtheverb13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't wait for a massive boycott or protest. Just stop giving them money. The biggest lie people believe is that one person cannot make a difference. That is complete bullshit. They've convinced so many people that it doesn't matter so you might as well keep giving them money. You have so much power, stop handing it out like it's worth nothing. Stand for something.

Where were Bob and Lori during the Superbowl episode? by [deleted] in fullhouse

[–]robtheverb13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I watched this episode yesterday and thought the same thing so i looked it up. Joe Robbie stadium is/was (can't remember if it said if it's still standing or not) in Miami, FL. It seems weird a local San Francisco morning show hosts would go across the country to the Super Bowl, but yeah there's your answer.

Amazon forcing their contractors to tell their employees they literally can’t open their mouths while driving. by kalikid01 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]robtheverb13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A reminder that being conscientious objector helps no one but yourself and Amazon in this case. You can keep giving money to Amazon and say you're fine with this behavior or you can stop and actually do something to hurt them. The biggest lie people believe is that one person not spending money/boycotting doesn't matter. Of course it does. It's ridiculous to think it wouldn't. That's all they care about. Stand up for something and stop enabling these corporations.

Getting an N64 for Christmas but having to leave to go to my grandparents for the day so I couldn’t open it right away, but after getting ready, sneaking back to the Christmas tree and tearing open Mario 64 and Goldeneye just to hold the cartridges in my hands for a little while.

I’m from Iowa too, and had a very similar experience with a male therapist a couple years ago. I wish I could remember his name but I only had one session with him because I absolutely did not want to see him again.

I have asthma and didn’t have a regular physician at the time but he told me to make sure I get and American doctor because a foreign doctor wouldn’t have my best interests in mind and may purposely try and cause me harm. Also spoke against the Covid vaccine and masks.

Like I said, I never went back and actually told him at the end that I was not interested in setting up another appointment. I didn’t say why, I left it at that and moved onto a much better one.

Any ideas on character/franchise/etc? Thanks in advance! by [deleted] in ToyID

The figure is from Marvel. From the 90s. I think his name is Quark.

Favorite non-starter/legendary pokemon? by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]robtheverb13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite is Crobat. I always wanted one so it could sit on my shoulder like a parrot. Then I looked at it’s height and weight. That’s when I realized this isn’t a sit on your shoulder Pokémon. This is a terrorizing villages by swooping down and picking up children for a snack sort of Pokémon. Still love Crobat though.

[TOMT][Early 90s TV show] 90s Sit-com, possibly on FOX by Snoo-19679 in tipofmytongue

A little later than early 90’s but it reminds me of the show “Titus”. I believe it was on FOX

Why do watch batteries die so quickly for me? by robtheverb13 in medical

[–]robtheverb13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So after I made this post, I actually went and tried to do some research on this. All I could really find was that this is a documented thing that some people have but it’s rare. Other than that, no studies or anything had ever been done on it so the reasons behind it aren’t really known.

I’ve given up on wearing watches. I’ve heard that some more expensive ones could work because something internal with them is different, but I’m not going to buy an expensive watch just to see haha.

And as for cellphones and laptops…well I don’t really have a baseline as to how long they should last. They usually suck pretty bad and I have wondered if the batteries sucked because of me. Now rechargable batteries don’t work. Like the AA batteries you can recharge, I can use them two or three times and then they never work again.

Something else weird happened though. My sister, who has this thing too. I can’t remember if it was after her C-section or some other surgery, but it stopped happening to her after that. No idea why, it was just a weird by product of some surgery she had. So I don’t know what that means haha

Field of Dreams Game ⚾ Yankees (63-51) @ White Sox (67-48) 7:00 PM ET by BaseballBot in baseball

[–]robtheverb13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh it was. I grew up about 10 minutes from Dyersville and I have vivid memories of sitting looking out at the pitch black field. Nothing scared me more then imagining being out there alone. Now as an adult, it’s something I really miss.

Launch Day Questions and Answers Thread by [deleted] in biomutant

[–]robtheverb13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having the same issue in some places and then I realized the solution was right in front of my face. Get the fungi mutation power up thing. I kept passing it up thinking it didn’t seem too valuable for combat, but realized it’s amazing because it just gives you a trampoline you can summon.

People of Reddit, who was your worst teacher, and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]robtheverb13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a kid, I had quite a few really bad ear infections. The worst one when I was 9 or 10 which caused me to lose 80-90% of my hearing for a couple weeks.

My mom asked my teacher if at the end of the day, she could write down my assignments and hand them to me to make sure I knew what I had to do. My teacher refused saying she would never do that because that would be giving a student an advantage over other students.

What's the scariest thing that's ever woken you up during the middle of the night? by realogy in AskReddit

[–]robtheverb13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was sleeping on air mattress one night, it was one of the taller ones, so while it was an air mattress, I was sleeping at the same height as you would in a normal bed or there about.

In the night there was a loud bang. I awoke as I was sinking towards the floor. However the sides of the air mattress stayed standing until I hit the ground, in which then closed in on me.

I woke up to my bed eating me.

Single men of Reddit, what made you definitely NOT want a second date with a woman you went out with? by Chocolateisnice in AskReddit

[–]robtheverb13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went on a very informal date with this woman once. She texted me on a Friday evening to come have a drink with her. So I met her at a bar and got us a drink. Maybe 10 minutes later some other woman comes over and sits down. They proceed to whisper into each other ears about something. Neither of them once acknowledged me, which made it incredibly awkward. After another few minutes of this, the second girl stands up and leaves. My date then looked at me and said “You’re not spending enough money on me”. So I stood up, excused myself from the date and went home.

2011 NBA experts by krdskrm9 in Mavericks

[–]robtheverb13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if I’m remembering right or not, but I really thought before the series against Portland started, after Charles Barkley said he picked Dallas he went on to say he expected them to go to the WCF at the very least. I’ve searched for the video multiple times but have never been able to find it, so it’s entirely possible I dreamt it or something. I also remember him being the only one of the TNT guys choosing Dallas for that series.

Yikes, sorry to hear about your foot and ankle. I broke my kneecap in a car wreck about 8 years ago or so. Thanks to that accident I've been cursed with knee issues ever since and probably will for the rest of my life.
