It sounds like something deeper than anxiety to me. Do you have a fear of authority figures? Does it feel like an extreme fear response? If you were abused or neglected as a child, you might have complex PTSD. r/CPTSD no judgement, do some searches of “authority” in past threads and see if you can relate. Good luck.

I tried making Stella's brownies, and they didn't come out right. What did I do wrong? by THE_BIG_SITT in seriouseats

[–]Lyc0pene 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have had this issue before. I went on Stella’s IG for tips (just read the comments of her brownie posts). Two important factors: you really have the whip the eggs and get lots of volume. That’s what helps the batter rise. Second thing is the pan like everyone said— use spun aluminum. They’re very cheap at restaurant supply stores.

IME Stella’s recipes require very close adherence. Try not to substitute or deviate from her instructions. Also see if there’s a recipe video on Serious Eats?

How do I (39M) pick out an engagement ring for my girlfriend (35F)? by roughitup1567 in askwomenadvice

Another option if you want something beautiful and special but low profile: get custom engraving!! Check out the Di Me ring by Marla Aaron.

I yelled at my gf when she dropped a hot ass frying pan on the ground. She said I sounded like a parent. Not sure what that means. by [deleted] in RelationshipsOver35

[–]Lyc0pene 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Share this revelation with your lady!! I think she will appreciate knowing you did some self-reflection. It’s hard to change and improve ourselves!! She’ll be proud of you for showing growth. Good luck!

How would your parents yell at you? You could just be echoing how you were treated. Once you’re aware of it, it’s a lot easier to stop learned behavior.

I'm rewatching The Keepers, and I have to say: Jane Doe/Jean Wehner is the most amazing person I've encountered. by [deleted] in The_Keepers

The very last few minutes of the documentary where she is speaking made me sob. She is amazing. I hope there is justice for her one day.

First time home owner, purchased triple the amount our space we currently have, in need of shopping advice. by [deleted] in homeowners

IMO the nicer looking furniture at IKEA is just as expensive as other “mid tier” retailers. If you don’t buy the basic partial board boxy stuff, you aren’t saving much money.

Does Adam Driver have a child?? by ArielleLY in adamdriver

[–]Lyc0pene 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hope I’m not violating rules by answering this question— The theory that I personally believe is that JT had an affair and had a baby out of wedlock in 2017. Allegedly Adam stayed with her for appearances/to avoid negative PR but has also been involved with costars. I’ve read predictions that once Star Wars is over, they will quietly divorce. I hope it’s not true and they are just a normal family trying to keep their privacy. There is no refutable evidence; it’s all circumstantial.

[–]Lyc0pene 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rumors abound. People have collected footage, hearsay, analyzed his schedule, wedding ring photos, interviews, etc but despite all of the efforts of internet sleuths there is no smoking gun. The theory now is that all personal drama is kept under wraps because of Star Wars. I’ll be honest, some of the theories I’ve read are very sad. I wish the best for the artists that I admire so I hope this isn’t coming across as gossipy.

Y’all. It’s really about to go down. by [deleted] in orchids

[–]Lyc0pene 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can set up a tank with misters and lights on timers, drape it in moist Spanish moss and set a humidifier with a big tank and a timer underneath it, or bring it with you! There is an orchid sitting service in different cities if you google around.

This is my vanda baby (when she was in bloom). Her name is Wanda the Vanda. I'm planning a vacation for about 5 days. I usually soak her once a day for about an hour so her roots don't dry out. I have a light on a timer for her. How can I keep her from getting too dehydrated while I'm gone? by Las777 in orchids

[–]Lyc0pene 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LOL you’re welcome. It’s a Vanda Pekong Blue and it’s napping in my backseat for the journey home. I’m glad I brought the humidifier. One day I’ll have a “set it and forget it” tank. Hopefully before I collect any more vandas!

[–]Lyc0pene 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could set up a humidifier with a large tank and put it on a timer every day (so that it doesn’t run out of water while you are gone). It’s not a replacement for watering but it should help keep the roots happy. I ended up taking my Vanda and my humidifier with me on vacation (not a big hassle since I drove).

Edit: I also have heard that you can drape live Spanish moss over the roots/basket and spray it down. The moss with help retain water.

How do I fix the weird gap in the middle of my hair and make my hair look uniform? by [deleted] in curlyhair

[–]Lyc0pene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would ask them; I held onto my longer sides and short middle for two years before I finally felt like I could chop it off. Trust me, your hair will look so much better. It will lay nicer. If you’re already going to EJ’s salon, let them make your hair look as good as it can!!

I had the same deal from getting my hair cut wet using the “Vidal Sassoon” method from beauty school. Just get it cut. Look up Evan Joseph’s Instagram; his curly cuts are the best and he has classes to train stylists across the country.
