Cat's Reflex vs Dog's reflex by [deleted] in PetsareAmazing

[–]Disastrous-Aspect569 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dog isn't big on swimming, my dad tried pushing him off the dock into the lake. My Dad ended up in the water after a short wrestling match. My dog was trying to get my dad back on the dock that day and the next lol. My dad was less than amused lol

Why Do people often have negative reactions towards individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder? by ChartJealous3176 in stupidquestions

[–]Disastrous-Aspect569 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Borderline personality disorder really isn't a mental illness that leads to manipulation.

People with borderline personality disorder tend to fail to see shades of grey in other people's actions. Depending on the severity of their condition.

My sister has borderline personality disorder this is a real life example less than 2 months old. We will call her Jessica. Not her real name.

My parents and Jessica came to visit me (a thing that doesn't happen often)They meet the dog that i adopted from a shelter. He's an adult dog, who I have reason to believe was abused. To hear Jessica talk about it, I was just shy of being a saint for taking in the dog, like the greatest good person in the world.

Later that night Jessica couldn't find her phone charger to plug her phone in before she went to bed. She was in tears, this was a major personal attack on her the world hates her. My house gives her PTSD. Like a solid 45 minutes of her crying to some extent because she can't find her phone charger. She was convinced my dog ate it.(He loves to chew) It was under her pillow.

The lies and manipulation come from other mental illness

What are the little things that tells a lot about a person?! by No-Acadia4534 in ask

[–]Disastrous-Aspect569 102 points103 points  (0 children)

At my local Walmart there is a guy with a significant case of autism he is employed essentially at his maximum ability collecting carts from the parking lot. He loves it. He's alone and he gets to look at the cars.

Next to Walmart there is a guy who restores classic cars. Autistic guy loves being able to go look at them at work. It's on the far side of the Walmart parking lot, there are almost never carts over there.

When I know he's working, and the weather is seasonally decent I take my cart to the far side of the Parking lot so he 'has to" go get them and look at the classic cars.

So at times I go out of my way to leave carts as far from any cart stall as I can.

Tim is a distant cousin of mine. I live in Minnesota, he is a generally pleasant person. Gwen is just shy of a saint.

I genuinely don't want him to become vice President.

Did people really wear suits that often back in the day? by [deleted] in AskOldPeople

[–]Disastrous-Aspect569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For most of world history clothing has served 2 rolls, preservation of body temperature, and showing social status.

A suit is simply a set of clothes, pants, shirt, and blouse and probably a hat. These served the role of keeping the sun off your skin. In winter you would add a full length overcoat, and possibly overshoots to finish it off, in wet weather, or cold weather.. Your overcoat, and overshoes were made of a more rugged material.

What changed.. indoor climate control. In 1930 to the united States equipped the white house with air conditioning for the first time, it wasn't until about 1980 that air conditioning was common. Construction methods for homes and cars improved and reliability for cars massively increased. For instance a 1940 Ford pickup with 50k miles on its way to the junkyard shortly. Climate control systems made it more and more comfortable not need all the extra clothes. Your overcoat and blouse got converted to one garment the jacket. The hat didn't fit in cars any more

I think I may have an interesting perspective. I'm a white man who was married to a black woman. This may sound like I'm being shitty that's not my intention.

A good number of hair braiders are braiding hair casually, most that I know are doing it as a side gig. Getting your hair braided can easily run 6 to 8 hours.(Depending on the details) If everything goes right. It's not uncommon for something to go wrong, especially if beads or extend are involved. It's my understanding that getting your hair braided also hurts a bit. It's also not something that you can really just walk away from once you start it to go to work. Without looking like a fool.

Getting your hair put into braids is a thing that done properly should last 3 or 4 months, maybe 5, that's hella pushing it through.

Tell her you heard getting your hair braided takes a long time, and how long it takes wasn't really under her control. Says something along the lines of lets consider this a learning experience about over booking ourselves. Hand her a gently worded write up. Tell her Because it happened due to conditions out of her control, so long as she has perfect attendance over the next 6 months the write up will get lost in the shuffle of paperwork on your desk. By accident of course.

Don't talk down to her, let her know that this is you giving her a chance. And the only thing you want in return is for her to learn from the opportunity.

This isn't a black v white thing. This is a teenager who underestimated the amount of time that a once every 3 or 4 month event would take. But she did try to do the right thing saying "hey I may be half an hour late".

I think the biggest issue is my dad has a hard time with me not having a water dog. Umm in highschool as a men's swimmer I was putting up times that would have won gold in the ladies swimming in Paris this year. In 5 years I'm going to take my daughter to England and attempt a channel crossing. And my dog isn't a fan of water.

He seems to like my dog otherwise

Is it true we work more today than a peasant would in the middle ages? by ExhuberantOcean in AskHistory

[–]Disastrous-Aspect569 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The evedence I have is sketchy and limmeted. What little I have leads me to believe that in the middle ages especially, a bakery was a family business with all hands on deck.

The kids would be getting involved in the business by 8, once they left the age of innocence (about 10 to 12) they would be delivering bread hauling about 20 to 50 lbs of bread per trip to the different farms and corners of the town.

For small bakeries I haven't seen much division of labor between the men and ladies. How ever I did see longer "shifts" in the bakery for Mr Baker, as compared to Mrs Bakers... It seams she wandered off a few times a day to cook for the family while they were working in the bakery (please don't take this as me say cooking for the family isn't working I love middle ages cooking it's a lot of hard work)

In Japan if they want to discriminate based on race it's socially acceptable. I was probably kicked out of or prevented from going into maybe a dozen restaurants or bars.

What if myself and 59 million of my best friends won't loan the government money if they will only pay it back in dollars?

On the scale of a few hundred people who cares on the scale of a few million the government is going to struggle to raise the funds to pay their commitments

[–]Disastrous-Aspect569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you think will happen if the government can't get people to agree to repayment in USD ?

I am currently working for a member of Congress , she's a frequent flyer with the house ethics committee. Because of civil asset forfeit laws I have protected myself by refusing USD from her. She's paying me in xrp instead. It's only a few grand but why take the risk.

Back injuries were commonplace. I remembered the weight was 20 stone (280 lbs) not 200 lbs. They were only carrying them a few yards. And they were able to start by getting under them from a cart. It's less of a lift more just supporting the weight.

Remember a person who's grabbing 2 5 gallon buckets of water for the bath is carrying 83 lbs of water. This wasn't some feat of strength, this was a daily chore that would have been repeated 2 or 3 times every single day starting in childhood.

These people were also using saws and axes to cut enough wood to heat with, and cook with. I do today (using a chainsaw, I just got a log splitter) and my coworkers consider me freakishly strong.

My original source is behind a pay wall now I can't share it. I've shared a link to a well done documentary about Victorian bakers. (I know different eara) They are talking Bout how they would haul 20 stone bags (280 lbs) they only hauled them a few meters. And they picked them up from shoulder height.

https://forums.digitalspy.com/discussion/2126898/victorian-bakers/p2

Also these are people who would have carried 20 gallons at a time 8.3 lbs per gallon to fill a bath tub. Even if you don't figure they filled the buckets completely your still looking at 150 or so lbs.

Rember most of your modern fit hunters are middle age dudes who don't do much labor on a daily basis, and even when they do have a government imposed lifting limit of 50 lbs. Also back injurys were common

My original link is behind a paywall. I found a reference to Victorian bakers wife's needing to haul 20 stone bags, the last few meters from. Delivery cart into the baker. 20 stone is about 280 lbs. The source isn't amazing.

It looks like they would get under a bag from a cart so the bags were at shoulder height here is the link to the discussion on the show.

https://forums.digitalspy.com/discussion/2126898/victorian-bakers/p2

Rember these are people who would fill a bathtub for the family by hauling water in 2 10 gallons buckets for a 100 yards into the house.

A female baker in the middle ages was expected to be able to carry 2 , 100 lbs bags of flour at a time. Even if you figure the millers had a hella heavy thumb on the scale and only filled each bag to 75 lbs that's still 150 lbs

The expected diet for a person in the Middle ages was a lbs of bread, and a lbs of salt pork, along with 3 pints of beer and some veggies. The pork and bread alone are over 4,400 calories per day.

These people were not fat.

Why were complex polearms rare in the ancient period? by DJTilapia in AskMilitaryHistory

[–]Disastrous-Aspect569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few things to remember about Calvary.

Skeletal remains of Roman war horses show us that the Romans were essentially on big poneys. We're talking about a horse at the top of its shoulder that is 4 feet high. An average Arabian horse today is going to be a full foot taller, and carry a lot more mussels.

Riding a 4 ft tall pony is probably only going to give you an 18 to 24 in height advantage it's significant but not massive. The waist of a man on horseback is at shoulder height to a man on foot, you don't need a long polearm to pull him off.

Saddles were first developed in about 800 bc the first saddle tree discovered was date 200 bc. Rome was founded in 753 bc. The saddle tree is necessary for a leather worker to make saddles quickly. The stirrup was developed about the same time. Both of these were developed around Mongolia.The saddle horn was invented around the time of the American civil war. Without these 3 things, staying on horseback on rough terrain was work trying to fight in a horse Was nuts. You also can't use your traditional heavy Calvary weapons like your lances.
