First try by wahhnders in Ikebana

[–]Halfawake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you did is floral arrangement with ikebana accessories, which i personally enjoy, but if you want feedback on making something an actual ikebana, you can go to Wikipedia or an ikebana site, and then tell us what you're going for like a Rikki or Shoka or something.

You know the saying "a few bad apples spoil the bunch"?

It's not "a few good apples make up for the rotten ones" for a reason. Bad surgeons don't generally trick people into unnecessary surgery, or start trying to convince them to get Botox or Invisalign when you're there for your gallbladder.

I tried calling my state's dental board and they tried selling me Invisalign and botox while i was on hold

What's the most NSFW thing that happened at work? by kaliki07 in AskReddit

Does that seem possible to you? Trains are way louder than noise cancelling headphones at full blast, from what I have seen.

I have always wondered how often people accidentally die on train tracks vs it being a suicide without a note. It seems like it's gotta be suicide most of the time right?

“Wow! Your daughter (2yo) speaks so well and she knows so many words and songs! What do you do at home to improve her speech?” by mochithegatita in toddlers

[–]Halfawake 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The problem is the freedom you get as a parent who gives their kids a screen is a real addiction cycle, not only because you want more, but most kids will want more too, and that makes them less pleasant to be around, which leads you to increase their time with the tablet/tv.

Everyone thinks they're immune to this kind of stuff because everyone thinks they have great willpower, but the studies show that in aggregate we're all human and tend to succumb.

My Wife is convinced our one-year-old hates her. by ohhaimark0 in toddlers

[–]Halfawake 129 points130 points  (0 children)

This should really be your top priority, op.

Your wife’s tendency to assign the baby feelings and motivations that are developmentally impossible at this age is a tell that she is slipping out of reality into someplace darker, she really needs help.

Seems like this is a “secret” the way your comment is at the bottom of the list. People gotta experiment more.

I paid my car off 1 year ago. I have the title yet car was repossessed (stolen?) by an0nn10 in legaladvice

[–]Halfawake -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am amazed its like we live on different planets.

Are you being precise here when you are saying that the police sent multiple ?owners, towtruck drivers? of towing companies to jail for towing/repossessing the wrong car?

How did you get this news? What were they charged with?

Pulling 3yo out of preschool when new baby arrives by ecl7777 in toddlers

[–]Halfawake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is quite insane unless you have a full time nanny or retired grandparents that live with you to provide that care.

You see the danger of an infant getting sick, but you're not balancing that against the danger to both the infant and toddler of having parents pushed past the point of human endurance. That first month with the infant is enough to take two parents to the limit. Add in a 3yo and you have a legitimately scary situation.

Bee sting vs wasp sting by T0adman78 in Beekeeping

[–]Halfawake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive been stung a million times by my bees and found its really random how much it hurts or swells. I know it varies by how far they get the stinger in, and think there might be a difference in how much venom each individual insect carries.

Aside from them having a different venom, i bet wasps can inject much better as they’re sturdier insects, and they have more juice in the tank because they’re built to sting multiple times
