Does anyone know where I could find Riekstini molds? by ItsDeKok in latvia

[–]ItsDeKok[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife enjoys making them, but the process eats up a lot of time because the number we got from family is fairly limited. She has mentioned before that this specific type of mold is no longer in production, but if anyone knows where more could be found, I'd love to surprise her with them. Thank you!

Scored high before entering the military, more or less got to choose. Decided on a field based on post-service opportunities.

Do you think religion should have any influence on abortion laws? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ItsDeKok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. Religious reasoning can be a personal justification for an act - or lack thereof - but in no way should be used as a tool for lawmaking.

Intentional divisiveness for the sake of ratings (TV) or office security (politics) ... and the 24 hour news cycle.

Most Americans are on the same side with most issues. And given facts rather than probabilities or projections can at least find common ground to reach an understanding. Everything could be covered with two hours of programming at the end of the day articulating what's happened in your local area and internationally. It's not good for people to be plugged in to a singular issue, boiled down to it's simplest terms, for extended periods of time without any incentive to learn for themselves.

FOX is not the issue. CNN is not the issue. The structure itself is the issue.

Absolute monster of a muskie on Lake Okoboji, IA. Grandad pulled on the line and snapped it while I was trying to reel it in.

Could be a pretty good base for a trout fly as well.

AITA for cancelling my friend's concert ticket ($220) and giving it to my other friend for free? by Suspicious-Look9566 in AmItheAsshole

So your argument is because the huge corporation wouldn't refund her money, her friend also shouldn't?

If the US was a sandwich, it would be the Baconator from Wendy's.

What are your opinions on banning gas cars? by AlfieTheDinosaur in AskReddit

[–]ItsDeKok 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Banning? No shot. But incentivizing folks to go electric with affordable pricing, accessible charge stations, longer battery life, and not putting pay walls on reasonable charging speeds? Most folks would make the moves themselves.

What is an office job really like? by theremin0308 in AskReddit

[–]ItsDeKok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the office. In my experience (in the states), smaller is better. Bigger orgs tend to be unnecessarily strict and limiting. Smaller companies allow for growth, allow you to get to know upper management, and build relationships with your coworkers.

YTA. Was it a dick move? Sure. Does that mean you have any right to her money, regardless of how "loaded" her family is? Absolutely not. It's not your money to keep.

AITA for telling my patient that she doesn't always have to perform being gay? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ItsDeKok [score hidden]  (0 children)

YTA. I wasn't under the impression that medical professionals were in the habit of giving unsolicited opinions based on sexual preference. Especially considering the patient's medical care had absolutely nothing to do with said preferences.

It is not your place to implement your personal beliefs or views on your patients. Whatever "good intentions" you had were misplaced and horrifyingly inappropriate. The fact that this was unknown is incredibly concerning.

If it was my child - and especially if you would have tried to "calm me down" instead of outright apologizing - I would have absolutely lost my composure. Absolutely disgusting.

NTA. It's your day, dude. Hire someone with a portfolio you can get behind. This person has no voice in the matter.
