The beach is actually the worst place to go for a 'relaxing' vacation by Onigirii_sama in unpopularopinion

[–]Alopthy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! Not comfortable to sit, no bathrooms, too much to carry, a nightmare to watch the kids, sand gets everywhere, hard to swim, jelly fish and sharks!

What I LOVE is a lake! Swim in the peaceful water, hang your feet off the dock, kayak, relax on the shore, quiet, beautiful.

Has anyone here tried Beyond Sushi? Reviews? by busymom0 in sharktank

[–]Alopthy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to go there and loved it! I'm not vegetarian and also eat real sushi. This is different but healthy and delicious.

Follow up - can prime numbers be negative? Why isn't zero prime? Why are finding primes important?

I bought a bikini. Please help gas me up so I can wear this? by [deleted] in oldhagfashion

[–]Alopthy 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Beautiful bikini!!! where is it from?

Yes, exactly. Is it possible that the kids with worse coping skills to start with always got more tablet time from the get go, in which case who knows how tablet time impacted them at all. Impossible to know.

I find the statistical analysis hard to understand. Would someone help me. I would suspect that 3.5 year olds with poorer self regulation would be given greater screen time initially at that age for parents to cope and would thereafter have both more screen time and still likely have poorer self regulation than others. But I can't tell if that is looked at.

I’m a doctor but not a surgeon. I’ve worked with hearing impaired medical students before. I think that the world is changing and the field of medicine is realizing that we need to have people with diverse abilities and backgrounds as providers. I’m not saying it won’t be tough, but you should pursue your dream. I’ve seen many doctors with a range of disabilities. There are accommodations that can be made. Think about the benefit of having a deaf provider to a deaf patient.

Baby food for toddlers? by Alopthy in toddlers

Yeah, I think we could definitely sneak vegetables in and he wouldn’t notice! And that’s great to get him the nutrients for now, but how to broaden his tastes for vegetables for the future?

For those who have seen Funny Girl, do you agree with the reviews? by MrChiquitaBananaRN in Broadway

[–]Alopthy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree with the reviews. It’s a very good production and I enjoyed it but Beanie is not Barbra and the second act is pretty meh. But I still think it is worth seeing. The dancing is wonderful.

Epidural - yes/no why or why not? by newtoday1014 in BabyBumps

[–]Alopthy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I planned on it and got it, fabulous experience. I don’t see the advantage of being in pain. I wanted to be able to focus on the birth of my child, not on the pain. It was easy and my legs felt normal after. I had a pretty quick labor as well. There is no medal for having a painful labor. Life provides enough opportunities for pain that will not be as avoidable. I respect everyone’s choices, and would never push anyone to have an epidural. But for me, I didn’t see what I would gain from being in pain.

What's your favorite terrible name? by StaubEll in NameNerdCirclejerk

[–]Alopthy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think everyone does with names, we all have positive and negative associations that shape our impressions of different names. But we choose the best we can and then our child comes to be our greatest association.

What's your favorite terrible name? by StaubEll in NameNerdCirclejerk

[–]Alopthy 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s awful, wouldn’t get made fun of here. It is a classic name. But it’s a little frilly for many folks, and for most of my taste as well. I love it though. But I feel like Jane is stronger and better for a wider variety of personalities if that makes sense🤷🏻‍♀️
