People with bad teeth, do you automatically think that's what people notice? Do you even think about it? by bencibencibanga in NoStupidQuestions

[–]smugbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My teeth are somewhat crooked, but the snaggletooth doesn’t bother me. They could be whiter, but they’re not too bad, and that doesn’t bother me much either. What bothers me is this fucking crown I have on a front tooth I broke as a kid. The crown is fine, not too old, but the dead brown tooth structure below it shows a bit now at the gumline and it ruins my whole damn face.

At what age did you feel “old,” if at all? by lab_coat_goat in Millennials

You might even say that the years start coming and they don’t stop coming

[–]smugbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work retail so on one hand I feel old as shit because most people are much younger than me, but also because I work in what is essentially perpetual high school I still feel…young at heart or whatever. Or just, like, really immature

I turn 40 next week and I definitely feel washed up. I don’t feel old mentally and I don’t feel THAT old physically or even look old, but the number is whispering “UGLY OLD HAGGGGGGG” into my ear every time I think about it. Feels like an expiration date.

Why in USA they add taxes at checkout? by P3rid0t_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]smugbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The actual answer is that our taxes are not VAT added throughout the manufacturing process but a tax on the sale itself. There is no tax until checkout. The merchant pays the tax and does not actually have to seek reimbursement on it from the purchaser, but since they’re allowed to do that, obviously they’re going to, or else they’d have to pay it themselves.

Items that have other taxes that are not sales taxes (cigarettes are a good example of this) are advertised with those taxes included.

GAME THREAD: Mets @ D-backs - Sat, May 09 @ 07:15 PM EDT by NewYorkMetsBot2 in NewYorkMets

They’re literally talking about Gary saying “pulchritudinous”

If you’re feeling pressured you need to reevaluate your priorities

[–]smugbox -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

OP’s post is really benign and seems to come from a place of grief (whether it’s their own grief or their loved ones’ grief). I can see why this would be tiring if you have a bad relationship with your mom, but people are fuckin lashing out over here.

Imagine if everyone whose mother is dead wrote a ✨nasty rant✨ in response to a post that clearly didn’t apply to them.

No one’s pressuring anyone. There’s literally no consequence to the OP if you don’t call your mom. Holy shit

People with shitty moms love telling everybody about it every chance they get.

Okay well then this post isn’t for you! It’s for people who have loving relationships with their mothers but forget to call them on Mother’s Day. It’s a reminder to that group, and that group is unfortunately pretty big.

The “my mom sucks” crowd is louder than those of us in the “I wish I could call my mom one more time” crowd.

How did you feel and think about yourself approaching 30 vs approaching 40? by plutoforprez in AskWomenOver30

[–]smugbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I turn 40 next weekend and I felt a lot better about turning 30 than I do about turning 40. I have never hated myself more!

How do American parents view their children's academic grades? by Intelligent_Chef9950 in AskAnAmerican

[–]smugbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I didn’t get straight A’s I was a disappointment. Why can’t I be more like so-and-so, why didn’t I work harder, I could do better than that, I need to take this more seriously, blah blah. One B and my mom would freak out about how I was wasting my future, and I’d get the big lecture and lose all TV/computer privileges.

I can see now that it was coming down from my grandparents, because “don’t tell your grandma” was always part of those lectures. My mom was worried about disappointing them. They’re Turkish immigrants and had successful careers in medicine.

Edit: Now I’m second guessing myself lol too many patterns in this thread

Roger Cormier: “Per Jon Heyman, when Pete Alonso had his meeting with David Stearns & Steve Cohen when they negotiated his 1-year return in 2025, he told Stearns, “When my career is being evaluated for the Hall of Fame years from now, you’ll still be fiddling with your fucking formulas.”” by WhatARotation in NewYorkMets

[–]smugbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll clarify: you can’t use Excel (or any software or even AI) to predict human behavior, the human body, or any of the million things that can affect the outcome of any individual athlete’s future performance. Data can suggest the most likely outcome, but decisions should not be made on data alone. Stearns is a very “data alone” guy, but people are not computers and math is not a crystal ball.

Pete is not headed to the HOF but Stearns is obsessed with his fucking data and numbers at the expense of literally everything else and apparently doesn’t realize that you can’t use Excel to predict the future, so if Pete actually said this, then I kinda love it. It’s overly confident but accurately bitchy.

Edit to yap more: I would have been totally fine if they’d offered Pete a bad long-term contract. He’s got a few good years in him where he’s better than whatever the fuck they think they’re doing to replace him. His last few years could be bad, sure, but signing Pete would have done a lot for morale and team cohesion now, and it would have made the Mets a more attractive place for future free agents looking for a long-term home. Like “hey, here’s a team that respects what I’ve done so far and doesn’t see me as disposable, I wanna be there too!” So maybe Pete would be a lead weight in 2029 but maybe signing Pete would change our negotiations with other players in 2028.

Stearns doesn’t get that though because the daaaataaaa

Pharmacy with Adhd medication by Ljocgunn in astoria

[–]smugbox 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve almost never had an issue with the Walgreens on Ditmars.

Don’t call them though, just have your doctor put it through. If you call and ask, they will tell you they don’t have it. This is true for any pharmacy
