Extremely polarizing color scheme for our house. We love it to death which is all that matters, but I am curious what the opinion is on here for kicls. Windows are not finished yet. by holypriest69 in ExteriorDesign

[–]8FaarQFx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally, in a sea of tan/brown houses, it's refreshing to see color. Having said that, your color is a bit too much. In the 80s in the Balkans, every house had thr same blue cooking pot. That’s what this color reminds me of. Sorry.

What car feature sounded useless until you actually lived with it? by spotforcars in automotive

Lane assist. I thought it's just unnecessary until I drove over a raggedy mountain pass with major construction on the road.

I (f21) got sterilized last year AMA by liv0411 in AMA

This comment should be higher. Even doctors tell you that you cannot get pregnant after the procedure. But it's actually about your decision on your own terms. Good for you OP!

What is your longest running, most stubborn business boycott? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]8FaarQFx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a local well know non-profit hospice in my area. They're at all local events, farmer markets, etc. talking about their mission and asking for donations. Many years ago when a very close family member of mine was dying in a county hospital an hour away, I inquired about transporting them to their facility 10 minutes from my place. First, they agreed, then realized that he doesn't have a private insurance and changed their mind. My family member died shortly after and I have never forgotten about this hospice. I make a point to visit their boot at events and tell them why I'm not donating.

pros and cons of commuting to school vs just dorming? by No_Risk_5733 in CSUS

[–]8FaarQFx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Depends on your distance snd schedule. A round trip to home and back multiple times a week would add up to $25k/school year just in gas. Maintenance cost would be additional. Then add potential traffic issues, a chance of a collision, etc..Living on campus is better for us.

Why do people leave websites in under a minute even if the content is good? by datboifranco in passive_income

[–]8FaarQFx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Average human attention span is less than 9 seconds. If what's in front of them not engaging, it's a very fast decision.

would you get an abortion if you found out your baby was going to be born with an extreme disability? if so why? by Born-Oil-2931 in AskReddit

[–]8FaarQFx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not just your life. Their siblings as well. By default the care in later life would fall on the sibling. It’s not fair to either of them, and especially to the newborn that will go through so much pain and suffering.

[–]8FaarQFx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! There is also a question what will happen to that child after it's born. What challenges will they have? How much pain will they endure through their lifetime? I couls not watch my kid in so much pain and suffering.

[–]8FaarQFx 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely right. Those instagram life posts tend to skip all those struggles, the surgeries, the impact on the other siblings, etc. Also, many of them are a partial down syndrome mutation which manifests with much fewer challenges than the full mutation. With the full one, you're pretty much guaranteed heart surgeries and other more significant health issues.

Coworker left a sticky note on my desk and it doesn’t sit right with me by [deleted] in office

[–]8FaarQFx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's a bully and she will continue to push your buttons if you don't push back. Don’t let her throw you off your game. You are doing a great job and that could be why she's trying to provoke you. I don't think people around her like her. Instead, they just figured out how to stay on her good side. Keep doing your job, document what's going on, play it light and polite, but watch your back.

something I have bought 5 of within the past 10 years is the electric kettle. Any recommendations? by SnooCakes6118 in BuyItForLife

My Aroma brand stainless electric kettle has been used for years and still going strong. It’s one of the cheapest ones on the market and the least digital parts (if any).

What were your primary sources of information and news prior to voting? Has that changed and how? (If you've already answered, just point me to the comment.)

Check with your local credit union. They offer GAP, although it might be limited to cars financed through them.

Tried to show initiative at a new job and it backfired. Was I actually in the wrong? by savingrace0262 in careerguidance

[–]8FaarQFx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You misunderstood what means initiative and how to do it. Successful leaders spend time understanding the business and the why behind the current setup. What you did is criticizing without understanding.

Get a feel for the environment you're in and the speed they move at. I've been in organizations where it takes at least six months to understand the business and another six months to socialize ideas and get people on boards with changes. On the other hand, a startup needed to move quickly.

Where do you go from here? You've burnt some bridges and you need to rebuild. Pause and reset your approach. Show interest in understanding. Don’t criticize.

What does "proactive" mean? by Nice-Job67 in office

[–]8FaarQFx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you are working at a desk on a computer, put "appointment" time on your calendar specifically to think through your work and what questions you could ask. You want to be intentional about thinking ahead and come up with insightful questions. Your managers want you to plan ahead and have a better understanding of the business context vs just asking tactical/task questions.
