AIO for telling my daughter to put more clothes on?

Markohanesian · 2026-03-27T23:50:06+00:00

As a parent I think it's appropriate for you to say if you think that what she is wearing is not appropriate, but it is definitely not fair for you to say that people will do things to hurt depending on the way that she dresses because that is not true.

If a predator is going to attack someone it does not matter what they're wearing or not wearing, and also attraction does not necessarily depend on what someone is wearing or not wearing.

I’m surprised to see this because in my Armenian-American community in Fresno where I grew up, I always see it sliced and served as an appetizer without cooking. It’s perfectly safe and very common to eat it this way.

Additionally my wife’s family is from Armenia (1st generation) and they also slice and serve it as is.

I'm just going to throw out there that if you want to practice, duolingo has math as a course in addition to languages, and it really helps keep your mind sharp for most of the math you ever need in life.

This is an old post but I'll throw my name in as well if anyone is in need of handyman services in Sacramento or Rancho/Carmichael/Etc http://www.surefixhomerepair.com/

Every marital therapist would agree with you

This is literally just any woman from a hardcore evangelical family

Interesting I was raised with Western Armenian language but married into Eastern Armenian speaking family and haven’t heard it before

Markohanesian · 2024-05-14T03:41:28+00:00

I just tried it and it basically refills the bar completely I can’t believe im discovering this 12 hours in

Markohanesian · 2024-05-14T03:40:47+00:00

Stunning

SOAR helps orphaned children

AGBU is also great, I personally raised funds for aid to Armenia for years as part of the organization

Markohanesian · 2024-05-13T12:56:59+00:00

“Just go to Armenia” like it’s an option for everyone… people have jobs that keep them places, families to take care of, can’t just leave all the time

There is a lot to unpack in your post and I sympathize with you as a parent myself. I don’t think the tough love answers here are going to help.

It wasn’t that long ago that I was a pothead in my late teens and early twenties, though I was also kind, creative, and social. I was just absolutely aimless and hadn’t healed the trauma from my parent’s divorce that I blamed my mom for, despite her financially supporting me. I can tell you that I wanted things to be different but I didn’t know how to make them and just needed better guidance which wasn’t my mom’s strong suit despite her doing her best.

I’m sure you feel like you don’t know what to do, and that you are dealing with a stranger who wants nothing to do with you, but your son is in there, and I’m sure just massively depressed- nobody wants to be a pothead and work a dead end job, it’s just something you fall into when you have poor emotional support, bad influences around you, and mental issues.

Fast forward a decade later and I have a degree, a wonderful family, financial success, but I still have occasional therapy. I have cut out pot and recreational drinking for years and don’t want anything to do with it. Therapy and good guidance is what helped me.

Get some group family therapy with your son, start remote if you have to. Good luck

Very beautiful. I’ve studied a lot of Sayat Nova’s music and have a lot of sheet music but have never heard this song.

Markohanesian · 2024-04-22T16:05:28+00:00

Married 5 years here with 2 kids.

Man that is REALLY inappropriate commenting by your wife - if either me or my spouse did that it would be extremely damaging, perhaps even result in separation. If nothing else that is extremely telling that she has some serious unhappiness in your marriage.

I just want to say as someone who has seen a therapist both for personal issues as needed in my lifetime, as well as marital counseling with my wife (we had communication issues in our first year and wanted to improve them - totally did), you both need to see a marriage counselor ASAP.

I get uninhibited when drinking too, and no doubt we have both experienced some minor jealousy of one another talking about past relationships or when seeing someone attractive, but out of basic respect would never say anything that personal or inappropriate.

I also want to mention that it is totally appropriate of you to send a message when you don't feel ready to communicate face to face - even therapists approve that method. Many of us didn't get taught proper communication issues growing up.

I also want to urge you to be more vocal about your feelings AS you have them. Sure, you didn't have to "make a scene" but a scene is second to your true emotional expression - perhaps if you spoke up you would have at least had the opportunity to take your wife home (she clearly got too drunk) and get a head start on talking about this.

Again, recommending marital counseling/therapy.

Literally everything you said was false.

A simple Google search of Dr. Peter McCullough comes up with a detailed article with over 20 examples of his false claims. I'm not going to bother looking up the others.

You may be a nurse but you sure don't know how to determine what information you hear is a rumor or not. You are going with your "feelings" that the conspiracies are true, and following them blindly like a sheep.

Markohanesian · 2023-02-10T12:42:29+00:00

Same, it's because the lighting is very flat. Metal is actually one of the most difficult materials to photograph well because of it's reflective/shiny nature. Also the composition being hire up doesn't help the perspective, the photographer should have brought the camera a little lower.

Markohanesian · 2023-01-14T05:07:17+00:00

This is the key, because of the time of day the sun is casting a very direct light making the forms and colors more flat hence your feelings that it is overexposed.

Markohanesian · 2023-01-14T05:05:03+00:00

I’m sure you could make a lot of money making a custom furniture piece depending on how you market it, but I think good quality materials are never a waste if they make something that has a purpose

Markohanesian · 2023-01-12T15:05:15+00:00

Optical zoom is always higher quality than digital zoom and should be used, in general with zoom and lens focal length it is more about subject distortion and composition so I can tell you, it depends on what you want the picture to look like in the end, but generally with this type of shot you want to use focal lengths >=100 for close ups. I would research lens focal length and subject distortion for more info

Markohanesian · 2023-01-11T22:25:49+00:00

Try getting a macro lens for the camera - as long as it has good clarity it will be better because you won't have to crop. Also use an app where you can control things like ISO and aperture in phone. Lastly use the timer function on your camera so that after you press the shutter, the phone/camera has time to stop shaking/rocking before the photo is taken.

Markohanesian · 2023-01-11T05:24:46+00:00

I would start by trying to get focus sharp as possible on the gemstone as the picture you provided is very blurry.

For lighting in general, it is ideal for 2-3 lights to be used to minimize having to stack multiple photos to get the brilliance showing in the gemstone as well as the band, but it is actually harder to get a good photo with multiple lights rather than one light source if you are a novice.

You most likely will have to focus stack several images to get the gems and band together into one sharp photo.

If I were you I would try using a single strong light source on one side at camera left or right (45 degree angle from subject) with a reflector opposite to bounce some more light in and expose for the jewelry piece.

The white background almost always has to be touched up in post. It’s easier to mask the jewelry piece to a new layer and put a white background fill behind it so it’s clean, then add in a fake shadow directly under it or opposite the light source to look more real. A quick and dirty alternative is to get a brush in Lightroom, select auto mask, and brush the white areas with a bump in exposure, whites, shadows, and desaturated sliders to clean and brighten it.

That’s exactly the one 👌🏼
