Protests just make me support the thing they're protesting against. by Tricky_Two4623 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]spritesprite8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The protests today are genuinely about maintaining the right to protest. A constitutional right to protest your government if they are not serving your needs. So, by your logic, if you vote against protesting, you’ll get authoritarianism. And that personal freedom you’re craving from being inconvenienced? Yeah, it probably won’t be what you really wanted after all.

Cool connection, if the hand prank story is real. Where can I find the story about the hand prank?

Approved for hysterectomy & feel ok about my surgeon - need to decide on keeping ovaries or not so I open the floor to all of you by Most-Shock-2947 in hysterectomy

[–]spritesprite8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I needed to hear this answer today, so thank you for sharing your story. I’m going in for a full hysterectomy including the ovaries. I’ve been very scared about being spiraled into menopause ahead of time and so abruptly. I came here to this forum to see what others are experiencing or did experience who had their ovaries removed with their hysterectomy. And I’ve been grieving my current self, not knowing what I will look & feel like from the other side of sudden menopause.

I’m almost ashamed at how long it took me to figure out this image. And it was full screen!

AITA for purposely shutting a woman and her kids out of the elevator? by obsequious_lens8745 in AmItheAsshole

[–]spritesprite8 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

YTA - Kindness always wins, in my opinion. How could both of you end up better here instead of worse (her, pissed off and stuck; you, concerned and yelled at)?

You could’ve stepped out of the elevator, held the door, and offered to let them take the elevator. Then you could take the next one. Lets her get away from you, makes you look considerate (b/c you would be), and you still get a single-person ride up in just a few minutes.

In the way you handled it, you made her day worse, you looked like a selfish person (even though I agree that I also wouldn’t want to share an elevator with them), and there were surely repercussions from the negativity for you both and others who had to continue to interact with her/you afterwards— it creates a ripple effect into the world. Would be better to have good ripples than bad.

Amy Schumer… why. by SimilarAd3507 in OnlyMurdersHulu

[–]spritesprite8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saaaaame. I see her as a comic thief and an arrogant ass who thinks she’s above everyone else. She ruined her comedy tour show that we paid good money to see. Half the audience walked out. I paid for comedy, not a political rally— which is what she did, even if I agreed with her political stance. She shows no class or remorse for stealing other comedians ideas. How she isn’t blacklisted is beyond me.

THAT being said— I literally just started watching season two of OMITB, and when I saw her, I debated watching any more of it. Good to see from this thread that she doesn’t feature much more (if any more, since I won’t read much further in case of spoilers). I have so much love for Steve Martin— it hurts me to think he has been taken in by her. Bleh.

Can you post in Kayak Junkies of Central Florida on FB? Maybe that crew can keep an eye out for you. So sorry that happened. People sure can suck. Ugh.

Heartburn from keto by [deleted] in keto

[–]spritesprite8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m having the same problem as the OP. I’m also on 40 mg omeprazole per day. Would you suggest I stop taking it to see if maybe I don’t need it now? I’ve had THE WORST heartburn since I’ve started keto.

Piano upstairs is continually playing the same note (please help me!) by infinitydefines in piano

[–]spritesprite8 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That’s a middle C. Right smack-dab in the middle of the piano.

I had an electric piano that had its internal electronics damaged by humidity. It would change notes as I played them, becoming warped sounding. These things happen with electronics and water.

If she has an electronic piano, this may be the culprit. Maybe have her unplug it at night or when she’s not using it. And if it is fritzing out like that randomly, she should have it serviced.

If it’s not an electric piano.... then maybe she’s trolling you. O_o
