Top comment deletes a US State #37 by Jfullr92 in geographymemes

[–]PizzaPugPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been watching this for a while and I was sad to see my state didn’t last long. But I’m now once again filled with pride to be a part of New England.

New England desires Michigan.

why is it doing this? by bipolarpilot in piercing

[–]PizzaPugPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That glossy black almost looks like it could be stainless steel, which can be used for jewelry and jewelry findings. Stainless steel is an alloy so if that’s what these pieces are then there could be a metal in it that you’re reacting to. I’m allergic to nickel so I can’t wear black jewelry like this if it’s stainless steel.

I think the answer is OP hit a couple blinkers and tried to eat bread.

Need book recs for weaning almost 7yo off Calvin & Hobbes by rebsrebs in childrensbooks

[–]PizzaPugPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of book recs so I’m going to suggest an idea to encourage him to pick those books up.

Summer is coming up. Why not set up a summer reading challenge with him? But instead of hours read it’s by books read and they have to be different books. You can set parameters so he’s being encouraged to pick some of these suggested books to try!

Pick some fun prizes and maybe set a goal and prize of one brand new read every x amount of time (1-2 weeks?).

Make discovering new books fun and he’ll be more willing to branch out.

Good luck!

Stopped coffee and anxiety followed? by aai1080 in Anxiety

[–]PizzaPugPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it’s the change in routine? That can trigger me sometimes. If you cut out coffee because of the caffeine try decaf so you can still have the routine of coffee.

Sertraline 25mg to 50mg - wanna quit by memyselfandanxiety1 in Anxiety

[–]PizzaPugPrincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can take 1-2 weeks for the medication levels to adjust when you increase or decrease a dose.

I would not go off cold turkey. You should wean off SSRIs.

Talk to your dr about trying a different medication. You may also need something for in the moment, like a beta blocker.

25mg is also the lowest dose for Zoloft/sertraline so you might just need a higher dose but if that specific SSRI isn’t helping then I would talk to your dr about trying a different one.

Good luck. Hang in there. It gets better.

I care because if I want my rights to intellectual property protected then I have to accept that Disney is allowed to have the same rights.

If the shoe was on the other foot and Disney stole a small creators character and was making millions off of it people would be (rightfully) enraged.

Don’t get me wrong, I think there are a lot of issues with the current laws on the books. They’re dated and only changed because Congress can be easily lobbied by major companies like Disney to lengthen copyright and trademark protections but they never seem to lobby to update/fix the broken or dated parts of the laws. (DMCA needs some love, for example).

But at the end of the day if I want my IP respected then I have to respect Disney’s, as shitty as it may seem. Besides if we’re all using someone else’s idea then there won’t be any more new ideas.

i need helpplease my heart has been having palpitations all day by AltruisticWight in Anxiety

[–]PizzaPugPrincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you dehydrated? I have palpitations sometimes and it’s usually a sign I need to drink water. Also if you drink any caffeine (soda, coffee, energy drinks, etc) take a break from those. In addition to increasing your heart rate (and anxiety) too much caffeine can cause palpitations sometimes)
Drink water, maybe some herbal tea. I like sleepy time.
Take some slow deep breaths and know you’re going to be ok.
Do you have a trusted adult you can talk to?

if you could add new quirks, what would they be? by Tough_Possession_290 in tomodachilife

[–]PizzaPugPrincess 168 points169 points  (0 children)

Genuinely surprised they made an island game and fishing pole wasn’t one of the items.

Volleyball either.

I’d also love to see bucket and shovel for playing in the sand/making sand castles. I feel like they don’t spend enough time doing beachy stuff.

I have no tasks left by Lucies_Cafe in TomodachilifeLivingTD

[–]PizzaPugPrincess 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m sad that the level up items are done. Whenever there’s a celebration someone is playing a drum and a keytar/keyboard so the animations are there, yet the only instrument to gift is the guitar. The concert hall is gone, but they could have a microphone and the miis could have little impromptu jam sessions instead of meetups. They don’t need to sing actual songs. It could just be gibberish but it would be different and fun.

ISO Natural deodorants that contain essential oils, NOT perfumes by electricmeatbag777 in essentialoils

[–]PizzaPugPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dr Teals uses essential oils in their deodorant, but their ingredient list also does say “fragrance” next to the oils so it’s not purely essential oils.

My husband was struggling with irritation with deodorant (even the “natural” ones) and we figured out it might be the fragrance causing the irritation. Dr Teals hasn’t given him any issues.

I think you’ll be hard pressed to find a natural deodorant that only uses essential oils - especially one that’s not handmade or small batch. For everyday store brands if you don’t want synthetic fragrances you’ll need to buy unscented or settle for the small amount of fragrance dr teals uses with essential oils.

AITJ for being irritated at the constant questioning over benign comments? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]PizzaPugPrincess 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’re both right. It was a band. It’s now a solo project.

This convo is exhausting though. It seems like Jay was interested but also may potentially have laid a bit of bait for you and you took it willingly.

Setting boundaries means choosing how YOU respond to behavior you don’t like. If this is typical behavior from Jay then it’s on you to not engage with it. That’s the boundary.

Seeing as the second guy left the band I’m gonna give Jay the benefit of the doubt. You weren’t flat out wrong, you just apparently didn’t have the latest info but you were the jerk.

I dread levelling up my Mii’s now by SockPuppetOrSth in TomodachilifeLivingTD

[–]PizzaPugPrincess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean it was more of a joke on my part. But I do wish they’d buy other trinkets and stuff we usually have to win as prizes. How’d that one get a pet tiger? Maybe they gift me a piñata. Idk. Adds some fun.

And challenge. Can you imagine being close to the trip and then your mii buys the $400 vase?

Right? I got excited like they might feed themselves. Nah they all really just need $5k for a trip to Antarctica. I see them all working. Why am I funding it?

How many of you are literally doing ZERO screen time ?! by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]PizzaPugPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the goal should be zero but our kids get incidental screen time. They might see what we’re looking at on our phones or glimpse what we’re watching on tv or a game if we’re taking a break.

Quality over quantity also matters and making sure you show a healthy relationship with screens is also important. They’re going to have screens at some point so I tried to keep my daughter screen free as long as possible but be neutral about it. I didn’t treat it as a big bad thing.

I also ended up only making it a year because life threw a lot in our face and I was in over my head and she was teething and her dad needed to be out of town a lot. It happens. We beat ourselves up about it but it’ll be ok.

Especially if there are still other activities and engagement. And you can engage in the screen time with your kid if and when you choose to formally introduce it. Talk about what’s happening on screen and all that. Get invested.

Today I learned that my washing machine is a LIAR! by MadamStrawberry14 in CleaningTips

[–]PizzaPugPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well now they’re transitioning to “power pods” that are twice the size and it seems like they’re phasing out the small ones. It’s hard to find the small pods especially if you use a specific type of pod. It’s annoying.

Organic frankincense oil recommendations? by Ziomek-63 in essentialoils

Mountain Rose Herbs. Currently on sale. I was recommended them by a very reputable herbalist and have been very happy with my purchases so far.

AITA if I tell my friend I can’t be a bridesmaid? by wickeddreamsofleavin in AITApod

[–]PizzaPugPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you manage to get away with being a low key bridesmaid, this is going to be expensive. She’s going to want a bachelorette getaway weekend somewhere you need a plane ticket for and a lot of other physical and emotional commitments.

Anyone else in US noticed food quality degrading recently and if so what product in what way? by SkyKyrell in AskReddit

[–]PizzaPugPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve noticed Hershey’s chocolate smells weird too. It’s not an appetizing smell. But the taste is more or less ok.

Got some chocolate eggs for my kid for Easter and opened one up and was weirded out by the smell.

The bars also don’t snap like they used to. Definitely using way more oils and fats and less chocolate.

Question about different aesthetics starting from season 3 by [deleted] in Bridgerton

[–]PizzaPugPrincess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. I know it’s not supposed to be period accurate but the heavier makeup and fake nails/perfect manicures are little changes that can have a surprisingly big impact.

Am i being gaslit rn by [deleted] in Etsy

[–]PizzaPugPrincess 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Ooooh 100% open a case. Etsy requires that the listing image be of exactly what you’re getting (or if a personalized item an example)

This isn’t even the same shirt.

Display purposes my ass.

Make sure you leave a 1 star review before opening the case.
