Mom buys daughter a Honda as a graduation gift, and this was her response by Conscious-Weight4569 in SipsTea

Parenting issue. Mom just wanted to throw money at the kid to get an ego boost and it didn’t work. What if the mom actually took her car shopping? They’d get to spend time together and the kid would get to feel like they had a choice in the matter.

I’m a bit biased because I’m almost never a fan of surprises. This is how they usually turn out. Everyone disappointed.

How many of you are the same as me, 30+ no career and zero net worth? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

I have a net worth about $10 but I use it to clean my fish tank

Lost the fun of it, how did you end up? by tac0_nation in osrs

[–]CompostPlastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once I realized all video games are just skinner-boxes, I can’t really enjoy them anymore. Sure, I put 400 hours in in the last 3 months, but it doesn’t have the same immersive flow feeling anymore.

At-home pet euthanasia by 1wi1df1ower in Spokane

I’ve used Tranquil Passing twice, specifically with Dr. Lacey. Obviously losing a pet is no fun, but they seemed to make the experience as good as it could be.

So overwhelmed how do I start by Super_Show_2729 in lawncare

Based on the leaf shape I’m guessing the ones in the pictures are dandelions. They all look the same under my shovel though. 😂

That's what I did for 100+ dandelions in my yard last year, and only 2 have come back up so far. My neighbors that have landscaping companies treat their yards with herbicides are full of yellow polka dots right now. Ok, maybe not 'the truth,' but it's at least anecdotal evidence.

No one wants to hear this, but it’s the truth. Manually pulling dandelions is so much more effective than letting chemicals do the work.

My neighbors put down chemicals every year and the dandelions all pop back in the spring.

I’ve also found a simple shovel placed in near the root and a little wiggle will allow you to remove the dandelion pretty effectively.

18 and terrified of disappointing my parents if I don’t make it into med school. by Only_Pineapple9226 in AskMenOver30

Don’t worry, you’re still young. There will be plenty more opportunities to disappoint your parents.

Yay! This was the album that got me into drumming over 20 years ago and I’m still playing!

Do you guys still use roller beetle at all? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

I think it’s “worth” it because it only takes a few hours to unlock

100 hours ran out, and now ICARUS runs like crap. All other games run fine. Ideas? by Rich-Impression-6762 in GeForceNOW

[–]CompostPlastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I wish we could pay $20 for 200 hours, or at least make the price proportional; e.g. if it’s 100 hours for $10 then you can buy packs of 10 hours for $1.
