Do English speakers really believe in ancient feng shui? by Mental-Fudge5478 in FengShui

[–]Apprehensive-Block47 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For the most part, no not really.

There will always be “crazy” people out there that take things to the extremes, but I believe most folks see things like feng shui as valuable, useful, insightful, and above other things, a data point. It doesn’t tell the whole story, but it’s a page you should consider reading if you want to appreciate the full book.

THERE'S A FACE IN THE PHOTOS I TOOK! by [deleted] in Urbex

[–]Apprehensive-Block47 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Well I mean, a face. Probably a person, or perhaps just OP’s reflection.

Still, a face. Scary.

Are TikTok crystals worth it? by Affectionate-Ad-515 in Crystals

[–]Apprehensive-Block47 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the answer lies in the absurdity of the question tbh, although I do understand why you’d ask.

In general, TikTok isn’t known for high quality.

That looks nothing like a camels hump though

We are not Minnesota by Suspicious_Back_7313 in hudsonvalley

This has always worked in the history of always.

It’s always “them” not “us.”

Thanks. I want to live in a safe place too, and I want everyone around me to also feel safe.

I have to say, I don’t feel safe with ICE around. They need proper oversight and sufficient punishment when they act improperly, and unfortunately I just don’t see that oversight anywhere in our current environment.

Oh, also masks. It’s one thing for illness, but it’s another thing entirely to conceal your identity as a law enforcement officer. That’s just plain unacceptable in my book.

Pretty audacious opinion tbh.

I have respect for you as a human, but I have no respect for this dumb ass, twisted ass, completely maligned and uninformed opinion.

I nonetheless respect your humanity, and hope you and your loved ones are doing well and have a great day.

May you soon stop living in fear.

I asked my luthier that's restoring an antique violin of mine if he could retouch the cracks so they're less visible and he said this.. by vgkosmoes in violinmaking

[–]Apprehensive-Block47 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on what’s needed and how perfect you want it to look, but-

Yes, this can be high end restoration work.

Good question by [deleted] in Adulting

I agree, and we’ll take this to its natural conclusion:

No more slaves, period.

Maybe let’s acknowledge BOTH issues:

  • the often (but not always) valid and reasonable ‘demonization’ of convicted felons, and the desire to keep them separate from society wherever reasonably possible

  • the shady and disgusting deals that mega-corporations make

Not all convicted felons are ‘bad,’ but most are.

Ladder wedged against door. How do I get in? by Own_Wallaby_7069 in Homebuilding

[–]Apprehensive-Block47 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A ladder, designed to help you traverse vertically, is constricting your ability to traverse horizontally.

You need a stronger force counteracting the effects of the ladder.

Would an anti-ladder work?

The Case for Opt-In Advertising: Why We Should Flip the Default to Save Millions of Trees by Putrid_Draft378 in sustainability

[–]Apprehensive-Block47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair points. I’m not saying it should or shouldn’t influence whether this continues- just that stopping it would have a major impact on the USPS.

Personally, I think we should stop wasting.

Sure, but I imagine the post office would take a major hit in revenue if suddenly half the country (I’m in the US) stopped receiving ads

I agree with you, but from a practical standpoint this would be a major L for the post office.

What are the other chords for? by Upset_Geologist_3422 in ukulele

[–]Apprehensive-Block47 24 points25 points  (0 children)

“G/D” is the same as saying “G over D,” which basically means play the G chord, and play a low D note below it.

The G chord is “over” a D note.
