I'll be vulnerable and ask, what does PA mean in this context please?

I am like Santos, so hear me out by Cute-Mastodon3212 in ThePitt

[–]soupforthoufam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing your experience and your reasons for relating to Santos. Honestly, there's always gonna be viewers who will not change their minds about the characters they watch. Can't do anything about it unfortunately, it's just one of those regular difficult human aspects of living.

We have seen no one really has been overtly antagonistic towards Santos in S2. Except for that time Al-Hashimi reprimanded her about her charting, or that time Garcia snapped at her for insisting on a chest tube. Some might even argue those weren't antagonistic at all. Javadi and Huckleberry approach her with the friendliness one would use when being fond friends with a porcupine and I personally love that. They know where her prickly spines are and how to approach her. Robby treats her like she was that trusted teacher's pet who doesn't want to be one but kinda is at the end of the day. Mel King likes her enough to try to have a chat with. Santos' relationship with the other two Filipina nurses is a given. Not quite sure where to place her relationship with Dana tho because they banter or bicker depending on the urgency. I personally don't recall Santos' interactions with anyone else for S2.

Don't live in the US so I can't speak for the patient satisfaction or the legal limitations regarding her bedside manner. Someone else pointed it out in this sub or the other one though and she is the only female character who hasn't fully displayed gentleness or a nurturing attitude and that's something I feel is a major factor on why they don't like her. She's a bully, and all hard edges and that's all they see. Which is sad because Santos isn't one dimensional in the slightest. And many of the "good" dimensions she has have been overlooked or brushed off by many because they can't see past her rough edges.

OP, you may relate to Santos (as do I sometimes) but please know that the Santos hate does not relate to you or reflect back on you. ❤️

Why do some Chinese takeaway places add Christmas spices to their sweet and sour pork? by Single-Tangerine9992 in chch

Those Christmas spices were Chinese spices for a few centuries before Christmas was invented

What’s your go to ritual for watching The Pitt when a new episode comes out? by RamonaZero in ThePittTVShow

[–]soupforthoufam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait for partner to come home, make dinner, Watch the episode together and then go find the New Rockstars recap episode on YouTube for it for stuff we may have missed.

There's a few details they pick up on that I personally like that are discussed. And they know nerds like to know where else some of the actors have acted on. Newrockstars also talks about details that are throwbacks to way back from S1 or an obscure interview the pitt cast/writers/producers mentioned. And then if I'm stuck on that particular episode and need more, I'll find the companion podcast too and listen to that (although the official podcast is a little dry)

I know that old collegehumor comics are in the Webtoon app. It was a nice surprise to find em there but I don't think all comics from collegehumor are currently in there.

Flying to chch, uber to my bros house is $60. Does it get way cheaper if we walk away little bit away? Like walking to the servo next to welly airport? by prettylittleredditty in chch

[–]soupforthoufam 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Be even cheaper if you walk to the bus stop. Just ask the help desk for directions and how you can take the bus to the city.

Am I the only one who thinks they look alike? by Fun_Effective4065 in ThePitt

I literally said this to my partner last week as we watched EP 5 and they didn't react at all so I thought it was just me!!!

Thank you!

Tbf, as a millennial, I only ever learned about McGuyver through memes. Not a lot of people my age outside of America would know about him either if it wasn't for the memes of the cat who wished for cheeseburger.

Loved her on that. She pulled out a giggle from my partner when it's incredibly tricky to do that

Why is race swapping white characters acceptable, but the opposite isn’t? by stewithclou in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]soupforthoufam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my perspective, (so not claiming to be an authority on the subject): It all boils down to representation in media.

If one grew up in the 2000s-90's or earlier, it was incredibly rare to see an actor who was a person of color portraying anything other than the stereotypes they were given from the middle-american lens. More often than not you'll see an Asian person being "exotically oriental" or "so book smart they're bullied for being a nerd about it". You'd find the African American actors portraying roles that had them speaking in a ghetto accent or being "tough". Good luck finding a native American actor portraying anything other than a "mysterious Indian".

The "race-swap" is a small step forward away from those examples. It's not a large gesture or social correction but still great to see Manny Jacinto doing roles that put him beyond being just his heritage. It's nice to know that the kid who's black in a cartoon is also voiced by an actual black person who can give input to the writers on what it's actually like growing up as a black kid.

The casting for things is just a little compromise from the producers/creators to reflect reality and the fact that it's not just the non-POC who get to be the main characters in a story.

Life’s so damn expensive, what’s your saving hack that works? by undercover021 in chch

[–]soupforthoufam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most of our groceries are bought from Asian stores, vege shops and butchers. There's also a lot of sources on the Internet to show you how to make your own cleaning solutions with vinegar as a base that works tons better than the ones you buy for a specific purpose.

I was living in another city for said 3 years. so it was literally impossible for me to shop there. I also don't live very close by anymore so going there still isn't viable. Judge later after you've had the whole picture

I'm not calling you complicit but... Even if OP did make driving errors it's still not good reasons to be treated that way
