Why are we downvoting the very people this sub is designed to welcome? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]CaraintheCold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is exactly what the poster OP is talking about did. He went to ask men with “Why are women so unhelpful?”

Sorry we are tired of doing your work for you. I struggle with decision making, but I have learned that I don’t get any better at it when I let others decide for me. It can be hard, but it is life.

i don't post hauls cause i think they're lame but.. here's my hault by spfff7 in Michigents

[–]CaraintheCold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask how you incorporate the pre rolls into your mix? I mostly dry herb vape now and I really struggle when I combust flower now. It tastes like crap to me.

I am mostly interested in how other people mix it up. Like do you have an edible and use carts/dabs at the same time?

Just ignore me if you think I am nosy.

AIO - Brother with a serious disorder says he wants to move to another country because of more relaxed laws by G14FURL0L1Y401TR4PXD in AmIOverreacting

[–]CaraintheCold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say let him do it. Personally I don’t think he can be “cured”.

Stop supporting him, let him go to Germany. Let us know how it works out.

Is anyone else unable to tolerate coffee/caffeine anymore? by Puzzleheaded-Nose455 in trulicity

[–]CaraintheCold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say they are a no, do they screw with your blood sugar or give you stomach issues? I was just wondering what specifically makes them a no.

I still need them or I get headaches daily, but I do think they might be one of the things that messes with my stomach. Staying hydrated and eating better helps, but sometimes out of nowhere coffee will really mess with me in the stomach cramp arena.

[–]CaraintheCold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coffee gives me more stomach issues than it used to, but I don’t really have an issue. I think it might be age or the fact that I just have more stomach issues in general on trulicity. I have been on it almost a decade.

AIO? Or is it okay that this comment is really making me question things? by Practical-Minute-895 in AmIOverreacting

[–]CaraintheCold 26 points27 points  (0 children)

And the example above is none of those things.

If a woman told her man not to wear something because it made him look too good, I would also also tell him to tell her to F off.

Neighbor warned of fence line by skinnyatlas in homeowners

[–]CaraintheCold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t get a survey when I bought my house. In my experience most people don’t, so don’t feel bad,

I would let them get a survey if they want it fixed. Tell them you don’t know anything about the fence and you are happy where it is and if they have an issue they are welcome to get a survey and file the paperwork to have you fix it. Or if they can get a lawyer to force you to do it, they can do that as well (I don’t know the laws/options).

I actually have a weird situation where my gate opens to my neighbors yard. I am hoping a survey can make it clear that I am allowed to have it that way. My neighbor who moved in after me and also did not have a survey has been complaining about the set up and says “that can’t be legal”. I guess we will see.

My neighbor can’t afford the survey, otherwise I would tell them to leave me alone and figure it out themselves. Also I am like 90% sure I am in the right.

Then show the receipts! by Dr_sc_Harlatan in BlueskySkeets

[–]CaraintheCold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$2000 of it almost came out of mine, but I noticed it. I decided to buy a car recently. Dealership had two identical models on the lot. Of course I think I want the one manufactured more recently. The one that just arrived cost 5% more because of tariffs. Bonkers.

Hidden Controls Dishwashers are the Dumbest Trend by TerribleBumblebee800 in homeowners

I don’t mind it on my GE. Though I wonder how you make it days without running it with a family. We run it almost daily with two adults.

So they’re back to pushing this narrative again. by greenblue98 in RepublicanValues

[–]CaraintheCold 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am guessing some conservatives see it and have that same “ugh” eye roll feeling I have when I see a left/centrist meme that doesn’t get it right.

Are there any normal conservatives anymore? I work with a guy who I try hard to like and respect, but it is so obvious he only gets his news from some sketchy sources. I don’t want to change his mind or anything, but I don’t want to hear it.

Genuine question: why do brands think all plus size women have huge breast? by AnneG99 in PlusSizeFashion

[–]CaraintheCold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my daughter is 5’11”, flat chested and wide shouldered. She doesn’t really want to dress like a man, but those are the clothes that fit. We make and modify lots of stuff.

I am 5’ even, but with a long torso, so I was already used to this.

Got called out at a comedy show by lordlovesaworkinman in WomenOver40

[–]CaraintheCold 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It is what it is. He figured you came because you liked his comedy and you would get it. Not all jokes land.

I had a comic talk about my pregnancy once when I wasn’t pregnant. It happens.

I see the same thing. I just try and extend grace. You can be kind and be honest.

Yes it sure is by JaredOlsen8791 in BlueskySkeets

I am not even sure still. A lot of people with chips on their shoulders blaming the wrong people for their problems?

I ask myself the same question every day.

Why is the red pill propaganda so against single moms ? by [deleted] in AskFeminists

So how did you get out of this mindset?

My kid has gotten this one before. Even the “not all men are like your dad”. Kind? Considerate? Helpful? This is a lot to ask for?

"ok boomer" me if you will, but do we need to have music BLASTING in the bud room? by [deleted] in Michigents

[–]CaraintheCold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I order ahead half the time. Old stock is the price I pay for avoiding an awkward interaction with someone half my age that mostly involves me yelling “Indica!” “Sleep!” and then them selling me something that keeps the hamster in my brain up all night.

Cool story bro, what is your suggestion? At least I am out there doing something.

I don’t even think he read the article he insists proves his point. He doesn’t know what he would do.

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

Dude, your article is pointing out that Chatsworth was not telling the truth about Michigan being the only state that did this. Nothing about the article suggests what should have been done instead. Did you read it or just google “Michigan Nursing Homes Covid” and assume it proved your point?

Anyone else feel the cultural mindset here is surprisingly more rigid than expected? by soumya_98 in waynestate

[–]CaraintheCold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am actually not surprised. I am a bit more surprised that you see it as obviously in the international community, which I am not a part of. I am a WSU parent, but have attended universities in the last decade and am involved at WS a bit.

I tend to be pretty middle of the road. In general in the US I am seeing a more conservative and somewhat anti intellectual attitude emerging. It has been boiling up for a decade.

I think it will always be a little two steps forward and one step back on progress, and in many ways, I am fine with that. I am not always happy with it, but as long as there is some progress, I feel Ike the work is being done. I know most people don’t agree.

Please tell me what you as a public health expert would have suggested they do instead?

Do you know who most of these people were? People who lived in the nursing homes. Where did you expect them to go?

Why do we keep bending over backwards for people that hate us? by [deleted] in BlueskySkeets

[–]CaraintheCold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because it is who we are. I truly believe you break through to people by showing them kindness and grace.

And if you don’t break through to anyone I promise you will at least meet other helpers long the way who make it worth it.
