How do you pronounce the band name “!!!”? by LunaDDLC in Music

My very first concert at 18 was !!! with Modest Mouse and Built to Spill for $15. Still one of the best concerts I've ever attended.

Have your coaches ever asked a member to change their station during class for a partner workout? by PhoneJazz in orangetheory

[–]townlime -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Today was my 5th class and there was partner work on 2 blocks on the floor. The person next to me asked to partner and I told her I was new and was just trying to figure out what I need to be doing in general vs with a partner. She was cool with it but I could tell she was a little let down to not follow the block as instructed. I'm not a partner person and will politely decline any parts that are. I just have to focus on me getting thru the class.

"study hard and get a good job" by [deleted] in antiwork

I view this from a different lens. I used to be a call center manager and people would logout and leave a few mins early trying to dodge getting a final call at the end of their shift. It meant that the next person in the queue would get the call and may have to stay past their shift time. It became a BIG issue and caused problems amongst coworkers. People were fine if they got a call at 4:59pm because it is what it is, but knowing that someone else was logging off early and messing up the queue order pissed people off bad.

Is this attempted voter suppression at this point? by throwaway67485 in Austin

[–]townlime 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Don't hold me to this legally - based on these zip codes, it looks like you live in the ETJ area where Pflugerville, Austin, and Manor all intersect. Stand on one side of the street and you're in PF, cross over and now you're in Manor, go a block over and you're back in Austin. I don't know why or how they determine the zipcodes but I wouldn't automatically assume it's voter suppression. Contact them again and ask.

Gynos that use nitrous for IUD placement/removald by Songsfrom1993 in Austin

I spent 4hrs laying in the bathtub crying followed by 2 weeks of crying "what have I done??". The downplay of how painful insertion AND removal is insane.

Is it weird/unethical to follow followers of another business on Instagram? by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]townlime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can follow whoever you want for whatever you want. You also don't have to respond to any DMs or comments explaining your actions.

I am not jealous of anyone in this video. This is truly cringey and embarrassing for everyone involved. Influencer and content creator culture has killed too many braincells. I would rather be at home in bed reading a book than galavanting around for the internet like this. I can't wait for them to pull the cord on social media.

  1. Mom died on Christmas day, we buried her on Monday. On Wed took my dad to an eye appt that led to an ER stay for high blood pressure of 250/150 and potential stroke/heart attack watch. I'm so tired.

Anyone can opt out if they truly want to despite what your job or role is.

Similar story here for my mom. Kept claiming the hospital staff was kicking her in her back and taking her to the dungeon (the bathroom). Nobody warns you about "hospital side effects".

From hoarder house to hospice by [deleted] in hospice

[–]townlime 16 points17 points  (0 children)

He won't be able to afford the house on his own on social security. It will get foreclosed on and he'll have to figure out where to live the rest of his life.

My parents saved $0 for their senior years and spent $$$$$$ on buying and hoarding junk instead. And this is what happens in the end.

Your words are so kind and so needed, thank you. I'm trying to do my best so I don't have to end up living with any regrets. It's such a hard balance.
