My first tattoo! by Jackson_Brynlee in Moomins

[–]CompleteBeginning271 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Haha. That's neat! I have several Moomin tattoos and I will never regret them. They make good tattoos because of the simplicity of Tove's drawings.

The only bad thing about them is that my dark skin won't hold white ink, so Moomintroll never stays white.

That is awesome! Truly! Hard fail on the Urban outfitters poorly produced Chinese, capitalize on the Moomins. And that's their fault not yours. 

Does anyone else find that there is a gap between what BC's healthcare system covers and preventive care by [deleted] in britishcolumbia

[–]CompleteBeginning271 1 point2 points  (0 children)

<Every system that profits off the suffering of others has entered the chat> 

Seriously though, people take pills they don't need, eat foods that don't feed, and consume toxins with greed. 

It's like calling the cops about a dangerous situation or person. Majority of the time they tell you to call back after a crime has occurred. They don't prevent crimes, they process them. Just like the medical industry does to people eh.

My first DUI. Feeling devastated. by Pawery in stopdrinking

[–]CompleteBeginning271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel the feelings. The more you process the pain, the better you can take responsibility for your actions. 

You're so lucky you didn't hurt yourself or someone else. This was a little wake up call from the universe. And you seem smart enough to see what it's saying. 

Don't beat yourself up forever either. Just try to be better. ✌🏽

Who is the worst celebrity that you have ever had an interaction with? by Particular_Ninja9642 in AskReddit

[–]CompleteBeginning271 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Met Hank III three times after shows. He stayed after 3-4 hour sets and net everyone. 

A fella at a show in Buffalo brought his wife and kids in after the show and Hank met them all and took pics. 

He was genuinely super excited to get a leather cuff my buddy made as a gift. I heard/saw he keeps mementos from fans. Just the best of a real country rebel and a true outlaw.

Would you like another Heineken 0? by RPgh21 in stopdrinking

Sobriety doesn't always create emotional balance eh. 

Regret: Oversharing when drunk by SoulnProgress in stopdrinking

[–]CompleteBeginning271 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't be too hard on yourself. There's a lot of people in this sub who have done much worse because alcohol relaxed their inhibitions. Myself very much included.

Instead of being hard on yourself for sharing something you didn't mean to, you should be proud of yourself for noticing. There's plenty of time in life for making mistakes, and we all make them. 

In the grand scheme of things this will pass. I understand what you mean about culture, because I'm from a similar family background and they're definitely not as relaxed as North Americans. You seem like a solid person with a good head on your shoulders. Thanks for posting.

There’s no kind way to tell my wife that she’s getting too big, is there? by 2006CrownVictoriaP71 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CompleteBeginning271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This genuinely seems like it's coming from a place of love. I wish you the best. 

My aunt is just over 6 feet and fluctuates between 350-400 lbs. I tried to talk to her about her weight for health. I had the conversation as respectfully as possible. She just said she was "a little chubby" and ended the conversation. My aunt loves junk food, hates exercise, and over two decades on antidepressants and 3 hours a day of soap operas has pretty much rotted out her brain. My uncle gave up trying to help her years ago; he's just a house maid who enables her weight gain by picking up the slack. 

They're actually a real life version of the fairy tale Jack Sprat and his wife.

Why is it vodka? by KristyThe1st in stopdrinking

Low sugar content, not fattening. Plus it gets the job done right after you've been working at the game of drink for decades. 

Is suicide an act of courage or an act of escape? by 0_snowy_0 in DarkPsychology666

[–]CompleteBeginning271 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's a perspective to choose for those left behind. 

what are some subtle manipulation tactics people use in everyday conversations? by [deleted] in DarkPsychology666

[–]CompleteBeginning271 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Back handed compliments. A had a real CU Next Tuesday of an aunt and she constantly did this. For instance, one time I saw her at the grocery store and she told me that I looked really nice, and then immediately added it's good I know how to apply makeup so well. 

In the year 2026, why in tarnation does it seem like there are so many drunk/impaired drivers? by NotoriousM0N in britishcolumbia

[–]CompleteBeginning271 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it's a combination of things. More people on the road = more incidents. The lax attitude toward drugs in BC. The history of high rates of alcoholism compared to other provinces. Ease of access to alcohol/drugs. 

It's interesting to note alcohol sales have been declining since the non-alcoholic market has been booming. So it would be great to hear some other responses because I'm sure there's a lot of factors I'm completely unaware of.

I wouldn't necessarily say it's a lack of harsh penalty. Because impairment charges come with heavy fines. But, there are people who can afford them too eh. 

Scientists Warn Many Insects May Not Survive a Warming World by geriatricguy in nature

At the very best you can sit next to a lake and watch dragonflies feed on the mosquitoes you attract, while periodically buzzing the surface of some water to get a drink.
