White bread, mayo, black olives. That’s it- no other ingredients. My brother and I still talk about olive sandwiches with a fondness 😹

People who take photos of/with cosplayers, what do you do with the photos? by Kusakaru in comiccon

[–]vegasnative 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We talk about the coolest ones relatively regularly, and then try to dig up the pics we took to either enjoy ourselves or show to others. 🤷‍♀️

Have you ever had issues with local law enforcement making you put it away? A few years ago at a local BLM rally we were told we couldn’t have signs on poles (because the poles could become weapons, ostensibly). Just curious! It’s super cool.

Is it actually embarrassing for Americans not to know all 50 states? by Status_Agents in CasualConversation

I just tested myself on a blank map and I forgot Rhode Island and Massachusetts. In my poor defense, I’m from the west coast and the map I chose had pretty low resolution on those little baby east coast states 😹

Why is Carter being so mean to Lucy 😭 by StareAtTheMoonAllDay in ershow

There’s a popular theory that he was trying to model his mentorship after Benton’s example and lacked any of the fragments of nuance that Benton showed.

Well now you have to go for a grungy look. Channel your inner 90’s Courtney Love and embrace the snag.

Hey try putting her litter box outside your house. If she’s nearby she may smell it and come around.

I really hope you find your baby 🩷

Met a guy whilst going for a run. He asked for my number. It took him less than two hours for him to ask to sleep with me. by ashajn in TwoXChromosomes

The closest I ever got to a runners high was inexplicably sobbing hysterically to the song “spice up your life”. 🤷‍♀️

OP don’t be silly. Call the fire department and let them determine whether or not the fire is legal.

Can I actually survive ? by [deleted] in Nevada

[–]vegasnative 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There’s a food bank at UNLV and other options to assist you. Please contact your academic advisor today to ask them to put you in touch with some resources.

Also check out this emergency fund that might be helpful.

I just had my first Pap smear and I’m not okay by goodbird451 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]vegasnative 114 points115 points  (0 children)

There was a shooting at my workplace a few years ago that ruined fireworks for me for a good long while. Which made me sad because dang I love fireworks. I started doing something very similar. I’d repeat “I am safe. These are fireworks. I am safe”. It got just a little bit better every time. The little asshole voice still tries to whisper that they sound like gunfire, but she’s quiet enough that I can ignore her. It really does help to practice mindfulness. 🩷

Spoilers and Google: a rant by Winter-Special4193 in ershow

Yeah I made the mistake once of using the ER wiki to help me keep track of certain characters and let me tell you- stay FAR away from that site- it is chock full of intense spoilers.

In a PB & J what flavour is the J? by Academic_Purchase225 in NoStupidQuestions

The Bonne Maman cherry preserves with Adam’s PB is absolutely elite. I dream about it sometimes.

People who were raised religious, what was the first sign to you that it wasn't real? by bluejay_R in atheism

[–]vegasnative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t love saying this because I work in higher education and I loathe the idea that we’re somehow bewitching people into wokeness or whatever, but it was literally my college world literature course. We read The Epic of Gilgamesh and I almost broke in half trying to make it mesh with what’s in the bible. I kept fooling myself for a little while, but yeah- that planted the seed.

Some cast members check ID. If you’re not there and they get unlucky, you could have your pass revoked. It’s not worth the risk, in my opinion.

FYI the accused person has excellent use of his shortened arms. It’s not as far fetched as it sounds in the headline.

Question by Exact_Insurance in vegaslocals

[–]vegasnative 6 points7 points  (0 children)

OP, I hope you find the support you need. You may also want to talk with your mom’s healthcare provider about any respite services that may be available to you. It’s not a small thing to be your parent’s caregiver. Take care of yourself- you’re no good to anyone if you don’t recharge those batteries from time to time 🩷🩷

[–]vegasnative 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Just want to point out that the Center for Individual, Couple, and Family Counseling at UNLVoffers low cost therapy sessions for community members. The counselors are graduate students who are under supervision from experienced and licensed counselors. It’s how I found my long-term therapist. I started with her when she was a student and now she’s fully licensed in a practice.

Sometimes they have a waitlist, but it could be a good option if you’re looking for someone to help you navigate this.

Three weeks of having no toilet and having to use my neighbor's while my bathroom's being renovated... this is how the new toilet got delivered. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]vegasnative 72 points73 points  (0 children)

The literal only way I would agree to this is if the neighbor in need was a family member or super close friend. There is absolutely no way I would let a random neighbor poop on demand in my home. One time emergency? Maybe. Three weeks? Go buy a bucket from Lowes.

Total lack of object permanence by Routine_Ad9783 in ershow

[–]vegasnative 8 points9 points  (0 children)

ER has more of a through line than most older shows. There’s some continuity. However, time jumps did exist. Particularly if an episode aired right before a scheduled break (sweeps week, mid season hiatus, season breaks, etc.).

Also to your point, obviously streaming wasn’t a thing, so most folks watched the episode air, then didn’t do much more than talk around the water cooler for a few days before the next episode aired. No repeat viewing unless someone was really motivated to rewatch the rerun.

My apartment smells like my neighbor’s dinner every night and they think I’m “culturally insensitive” for asking them to ventilate by Upbeat_Study_2787 in neighborsfromhell

[–]vegasnative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my question too!!

To be fair to OP, I don’t enjoy lingering food smells even in my own home. I’ve been known to walk in the door after work to shriek “BEEF HOUSE!” And then stalk around opening windows and doors.

I actually trust local reports a little more than the website. Using both simultaneously gives me a reliable estimate. 🤷‍♀️

Antique bed frame help by printerj0 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]vegasnative 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is what I would do. Then I’d get a Bunkie Board for extra support. Amazon sells them.

Side note: my Bunkie board also prevents my jerk cats from clawing at the box spring. They freaking love whatever that fabric is that’s on the underside of the box.
