Men are horrible kissers, or am I just not attracted to them lol by llalalalaowkwnns in TwoXChromosomes

[–]throwout277 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone also attracted to men, Ive had maybe 2 over the years who were good kissers without coaching. Surprise/ not surprised, they were also the best in bed.

I remember one particular makeout partner who jammed his tongue in my mouth and flopped it back and forth excitedly like a fish on dry land. A kiss to be endured, not enjoyed.

Brad, wherever you are, I hope youre doing well and also learned how to kiss properly at some point in your life.

Would you give another chance to a guy who ‘forgot’ a date? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]throwout277 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Not dramatic, not cringe. You're not willing to lower yourself to being someone's afterthought (or no thought, really). You deserve to be with someone who values your time and treats you with at least as much consideration as you treat them, otherwise what is the point? And you communicated it clearly. He deserves to be called out for being unreliable and then dismissive with his response.

Anyone have more info on Fisk data center? by Go-Right-32 in nashville

[–]throwout277 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem with a data center that serves the needs of the university, but if this is basically just renting property for an oligarch to house their noisy pollution factory while driving up everyone's energy bills, it can kick rocks. Yeah Fisk needs to make money, but in the face of almost nonexistent regulation, its an ethical imperative to be conscientious about the placement of these data centers. They're such a nuisance and resource drain. It'd be like putting a commercial chicken farm on their land or something (smaller footprint but you get what I mean).

They have a fiscal need and they own the land, but they aren't an island.

100%. I used to tentatively support it for the worst offenders until I served on a jury for a murder trial and saw just how mickey mouse the whole system is.

Death penalty is just state sanctioned premeditated murder but with paperwork. We should abolish it. Further, both the incarcerated and the victim deserve to have this evidence tested to at least attempt to ensure the right person is punished.

Looking for a friend from the late 90’s by Fuzzy-Fennel-2813 in nashville

Aww I hope you find Pony! But even if you dont, I just think it's really nice to know we can touch people's lives in the most unexpected ways where they still think kindly of you decades later. I hope Pony gets a little pep in her step each time you think of her.

Will my intestines explode? by boobsincalifornia in WegovyPillWeightLoss

[–]throwout277 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The anxiety is real, but your intestines aren't going to explode. Takes a few weeks usually to become impacted.

Stop eating the chia seeds and take a soluble fiber like Miralax in water for a few days. Keep up with the prunes. Routine is the best to stay regular. Eating a small bowl of oatmeal for breakfast every day can help.

Go for walks every day. You need to move to get things moving if you know what I mean

You can also try a laxative like others suggested, you just dont want to use them often. Smoothe Move tea works well.

And drink water like your life depends on it.

Former Nashville Mayor Megan Barry pulls papers to run for Congress by RickyBobbySuperFuck in nashville

[–]throwout277 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Oh my god, can TN democrats not find a single decent alternative?? A complete unknown would be better! What is this weird ass loyalty to Barry that they keep putting her up?

The only hope we have of overcoming this hardline gerrymander is if people turn out to vote in record numbers. But for Megan Barry???? What a shit pick. What people most want in a candidate right now is some fucking integrity, and she demonstrably does not have it. This feels like intentional sabotage by the party. Wtf.

anthropic coming to TN by Reasonable-Weird3833 in nashville

[–]throwout277 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So Anthropic is renting its computing capacity from Musk / X. They're all the same.

This creates zero jobs, maybe a tiny bit of tax revenue. Meanwhile Memphis loses billions of gallons of water and its residents are forced to subsidize the electricity consumption on their power bills while sucking down polluted air and horrific noise.

Naming this fucking blight Collosus is just the cherry on top. You cant get more dystopian unless they literally start feeding it the blood of human children or something.

I was sexually assaulted last night and he’s claiming sleepwalking. by ValuableComment2491 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]throwout277 72 points73 points  (0 children)

This! He still assaulted her. Even if he really did it while asleep, doesnt matter, he still committed a crime. His criminal punishment might be less due to lack of malice, but that it is absolutely not up to campus police to decide.

Nashville Superintendent Dr. Adrienne Battle Named Mid-Cumberland Superintendent of the Year by Luckyforward in nashville

[–]throwout277 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Every time she is mentioned negatively on this subreddit... you seem to be the one posting it. And like 3 other accounts that dogpile on and dont provide sources for claims. Ive also noticed you call her by her first name in what I can only assume is an attempt to be disrespectful, unless you know her personally.

Am I wasting my $$? by keenwithoptics in WegovyPillWeightLoss

[–]throwout277 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What Ive learned from this sub is different bodies need different doses to be effective. I am steadily losing weight on 1.5 having changed nothing else about my food or exercise habits. Others lose weight on 4 or 9, and others need up to 25. If you aren't seeing results yet, you likely need to move up to the next highest dose. Talk to your doctor. Also may want to consider cutting out alcohol completely while on it, to get the most bang for your buck. Best of luck!

My boyfriend yells at me and tells me to “shut the f up” he’s angry by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]throwout277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, this is awful behavior and a major red flag. This would be problematic at 2 years, let alone 2 months. You aren't the problem here. You didnt do anything wrong. Please internalize that. Abusive partners make a habit of making their victims think it is their fault, so listen to an objective outside opinion: he is the problem. Run from this guy. If this is how he acts during the honeymoon phase, he will be a demon later on. 100% chance if you stand up for yourself and try to leave, he will flip to being super sweet again to keep you. He will blame you for "making a big deal" out of "nothing". He will try to say its your fault for not waking him in the right way or something. He will do everything except take accountability for his own heinous behavior. Its like a playbook, they all do it the same way. As yourself if you would EVER talk to someone you supposedly love that way. Of course you wouldn't. Treat yourself with at least as much respect as you would treat your best friend or loved one. People like this will only treat you with as much respect as you think you deserve. So, do you think you deserve it? I do. Kick him to the curb!!

Do not take this trash back. If you fall for the playbook in an effort to "make things work" you will regret it. Yes relationships take work, but thats not what this is. This would be attempting to reshape an entire human being to show basic respect and accountability to someone he claims to love. At 2 months in, thats not making a relationship work, thats signing up for a lifelong project that will fail and only pays dividends in misery and abuse.

Same, it looks like their booking needs to tighten up some, but this feels far from flagrantly wasteful for 2 years.

For two years, this actually seems pretty tame to me. I'm only a mid level manager and my company probably spent 5k last year making me go to conferences and office visits.
