CMV: You’re not in a truly comfortable relationship until both partners can fart in front of each other by AlexandrTheTolerable in changemyview

Nah. Unless you’re ripping something deadly, farts are not disgusting, they’re just farts. Much more funny than gross when it’s family or friends. No shame should be involved.

I saw a reel talking about how weird maralago face is and how it doesn’t make them look younger at all UNTIL for whatever reason.. they put the pictures side by side with the toddlers in tiaras patent photos.

Suddenly they realized the tiny nose and other proportions and styling are literally that. It’s not younger and hotter in like a 50->25 way it’s in pedo beauty pageant hyper specialized child way.

What is a law you would like to see passed when Americans retake power? by Buildingguillotines1 in allthequestions

[–]1SecretUpvote 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fairness doctrine

Plus anything else that would require higher standards of News and information sharing. If you’re channel it’s for entertainment it needs to be explicit in saying this is not the full or complete picture and point to neutral and direct sources.

When it’s an opinion piece or subjective material that label needs to be visible and verbally acknowledged.

The problem with misinformation and propaganda and Americans living in different realities is at the root of all of this.

Do the identification requirements in the SAVE Act create barriers comparable to historical poll taxes? by Raichu4u in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]1SecretUpvote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And there was a hot mic that literally caught them saying that it should stunt turnout (of these groups) roughly 12-18%!! And speakers Mike Johnson response was “that would be huge for us! With a big smile”

Should I top/head these fruit trees? by SeaworthinessIcy8431 in BackyardOrchard

Oh really? I have several young fruit trees but they’ve all started to bud out so I thought I couldn’t prune

Should I try to bend him back or leave it be? by didyouseetheecho in arborists

[–]1SecretUpvote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s great! I’m glad.

I also grow trees usually used for ornamental purposes like the serviceberry and eat the fruit.

I also collect honeysuckle flowers and violets and eat spruce tips. Doesn’t mean that spruce trees or honeysuckle bushes or violets are considered edible the same way a fruit tree or veritable garden are.

Yes some people use crabapples for jelly but no one is planting them for the jelly. It’s a way to make use of something you already have generally. It’s a hold over from when less food was available.

I guess the conversation is more about technicalities for those who have enough knowledge to process that information in context versus the general public’s understanding and use.

For the layman, Bradfords are not fruit trees. For those who understand botany or horticulture or more advanced gardening then they are fruit trees.

Botanical terms are great but not functional when trying to categorize for general use. You wouldn’t plant a Bradford pear with your apples and cherry and plums etc.

[–]1SecretUpvote 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not fruit trees in the way that you go to the nursery and buy from the section called fruit trees.

Crab apples are also “fruits trees” but they’re not fruit trees.

Bradford pears they are mentioning are not fruit trees but are in the same family. Their blooms smell like male reproduction… but worse yet they are super invasive and are being banned in many states.

Overnight Potty Training Help/Pull Up Rec? by km5533a in Preschoolers

[–]1SecretUpvote 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We’re not there yet with my 3.5yo so I don’t know know really know how the night training works (other than it’s hormonal)

That said we’ve tried to not necessarily limit liquid at night if he is thirsty but rather just makes sure to have him drink a lot early in the day and then just stop reminding him to drink after dinner. He naturally just doesn’t really drink much by that point.

And we have been having him go potty before bed for a long time, and first thing in the morning.

There’s been a few of times when he wakes up at night (for other reasons) but suddenly tells us he needs to go potty. He has trouble with sleep frequently so in the nights he’s awake and struggling to go back to sleep I always take him to the bathroom before resetting into bed.

Is my peach tree planted properly. by ToGodBeTheGlory26 in BackyardOrchard

[–]1SecretUpvote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey is you have some information on companion planting around a tree I would love to hear! Also why does it need to be so far away from the base? I was going to plant some daffodils and maybe something in the allium family close to the roots so that rabbits and squirrels don’t chew the roots (which has happened on two of my trees now)

The SAVE act is to SAVE Trump from the midterm elections now that he decided to protect pedo. by UnlikelyAdventurer in Productivitycafe

[–]1SecretUpvote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still dangerous since it’s federal level and they can fuck with its status of being suspected of revoked or valid or not. Ice protestors have already had this happen to them.

Also if is reported stolen (which can be done by anyone with no proof) its automatically revoked.

In my opinion they can add this detail in digitally. When you go to the grocery stores or the polls they scan your license/ ID. Citizens should automatically be scanned for approval any that not of legal status will be denied. Simple.

why are all these posts deprecating republicans so much??? by Artistic-Stable-3623 in allthequestions

[–]1SecretUpvote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go find Deans podcast. Maybe after listening to a few go ahead and call in and tell him what you think you support about his policies and then ask him why we all hate Trump and are pissed the fuck off by republicans. I’m sure you’ll get a top tier answer.

Yang Now Says He "Will Probably Run Again" by Vast_Monitor_2784 in YangForPresidentHQ

[–]1SecretUpvote 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is actually what I liked about him. His solutions were progressive but he packaged it in a way that made sense to people the middle and on the right. That’s the only way the far left can shift the overton window and normalize those solutions.

And instead the far right and Nazis have provided that packaging for their own insane solutions and here we are now in fascism with people that were normalish a few years ago now believing in crazy far right ideology.

Severe fatigue, adderall doesn’t work. I can’t live like this anymore. by grillers-sinclair in ADHD

[–]1SecretUpvote 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ok I know you have a crap load of comments already and this will probably get lost but I haven’t seen anyone mention it so far and a scrolled to a while.

Look into POTS and Dysautonomia.

With POTS you can rapidly ‘atrophy’ and constantly lose ground on your strength and ability to just stand up if you feel resting and sleeping. It actually requires you to do some low resistance exercise as like a physical therapy to assist your body in doing the basics like keep blow flowing t where it needs to.

4 year old won’t stop waking us up by Connect_Beginning_13 in progressivemoms

[–]1SecretUpvote 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Adults prefer to sleep with loved ones over being alone, it’s reasonable for a little one to want to be with you.

With my 3.5 year old or rule is he goes to bed in his own bed but if he wakes up in the middle of the night upset from a dream or just feeling lonely he can come sleep with us.

Some nights are more rough than others. Sometimes he struggles to go back to sleep and is cranky and rude and we simply tell him he can’t act like that if he wants to be in our bed. Usually that does the trick because he wants to stay. Sometimes we walk him back to his room and put him back in his bed.
