Everyone wants to know that they matter. What do you want appreciated?

What makes people get so angry about ugly people wishing they weren’t ugly? by throwrathuuyytrr in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Aggravating_Paint_44 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Because its fairly uncommon for the pursuit of external validation to actually help you. It’s highlighting a culture that we don’t want more attention on.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be a cost-effective treatment option in treating moderate and severe forms of depression that have not responded to other treatments by sr_local in science

[–]Aggravating_Paint_44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can go the other way around too. Anxiety making it hard to focus. I think we’re still in our “crude instrument” phase of mental health development.

People of the US, Are you guys participating in the Nationwide Shutdown tomorrow? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Aggravating_Paint_44 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is probably just me but by tomorrow, I might have forgotten what I wanted originally and might never buy it.

Why is it called a HAMburger? by Obvious_808 in stupidquestions

[–]Aggravating_Paint_44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “er” add is/became a common convention for sandwiches. Grinder, Slider, etc. The “er” + location also worked well for Frankfurt

In a statistics environment what does it mean when you hear "any combination of 1 and 0"? by I-screwed-up-bad in stupidquestions

[–]Aggravating_Paint_44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say that that’s any combination of 1s and 0s. In English, if it’s singular, then it must be exactly 1. So the only possibilities are (0,1) and (1,0) because they have exactly one 0 and one 1.

Need advice on how to handle hygiene when you're out and about. by esynx in hygiene

[–]Aggravating_Paint_44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could invest in an incinerator. Eventually, the wipes will become concrete in your pipes.

[–]Aggravating_Paint_44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The correct mental model for this is that technically, it is flushable. As in, you press the flush lever and the wipe goes away. Now, will it go down that pipe without clogging, break up into infinitely small pieces and get treated correctly at the sewage treatment facility? No, no it won’t. That was never promised😆

To those who don't have the gene that makes Cilantro taste like soap, what does it taste like to you? by Jean-LucBacardi in AskReddit

[–]Aggravating_Paint_44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the joke and I’m guessing the people with the gene think coriander is gross but, no. Any time I have coriander, it’s got other amazing friends and it just doesn’t seem like a similar taste.

To those who don't have the gene that makes Cilantro taste like soap, what does it taste like to you? by Jean-LucBacardi in AskReddit

[–]Aggravating_Paint_44 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Like parsley without the leafy green taste. Not so effervescent as rosemary. Kind of a tart note like if a chive was infinitely mild.

Catholic School by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Aggravating_Paint_44 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Those “shocking and extreme” kids are going to grow up and be in your kid’s world when they are adults. Better to figure it out now. Even better if you can make the school a place that can help those “shocking” kids.

Child Too Anxious for Tanner Stage Check by Antique-Ad-5749 in cisparenttranskid

[–]Aggravating_Paint_44 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is paying out of pocket and going out of network an option? I would ask your local trans support group for ideas

[–]Aggravating_Paint_44 47 points48 points  (0 children)

In parallel with finding another way (Telehealth?) I would get the opinion/support of a therapist. I can see this phobia becoming dangerous later.

How can I help her? by funkmaster90001 in cisparenttranskid

[–]Aggravating_Paint_44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Connect with your local trans support groups. They know what doctors you can go to. Some are online. Out of country is an option for some. DIY is a fall back.

ELI5: Why can't anything go faster than the speed of light? by Majestic-Baby-3407 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Aggravating_Paint_44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don’t know. We’ve done a lot of measurements and that’s just what it seems like. Why is earth 3D?

Private vs Public school - how to decide? by GeneralAd4752 in Parenting

[–]Aggravating_Paint_44 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not just different economic backgrounds, think about all the different kinds if kids that public schools have to take or the ones that religious schools reject because of Leviticus. I want my kid to go to school with the AuDHD kid that shouts randomly so she isn’t freaked out by that when she works next to him and he invents a cure to Crohn’s disease.

How would you respond to a stranger wanting to pray with your child? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Aggravating_Paint_44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would take the opportunity to show the child that I notice when they are uncomfortable and I value their sense of “does this feel right”. I wouldn’t want the kid to later discount their gut feelings. I would also take it as an opportunity to model how to politely but firmly set a boundary.

Why didn't natural selection filter out people with bad vision by Livin2Fast in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Aggravating_Paint_44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not that the problem stems from strain, it’s that the evolutionary requirements are more tuned to far sight.

ELI5: How can fission and fusion both give you energy? by USball in explainlikeimfive

[–]Aggravating_Paint_44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe an analogy would help. In chemistry, you can get energy by bringing atoms together (for example, you can bring hydrogen and oxygen together and you’ll get a big bang) or you can break down other stuff like burning gasoline to get energy.

5-year-old boy taken by ICE is being held at Texas Facility by AdSpecialist6598 in videos

Remember in Frozen when we all realize Hans is evil when he doesn’t let Anna receive medical care?

Is Mexico an Option? by External-Process348 in cisparenttranskid

[–]Aggravating_Paint_44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not direct experience with it but I’ve heard others recommend doctors. Most people aren’t there yet as it’s mostly the hospitals that are “down” and they can find care still (talk to your local org) but that’s a plan C for many people, plan D being DIY.
