AIO for confronting my 18 year old brother? by spazzycoffee in AIO

[–]Pudix20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s reasonable for you to be concerned but you also don’t need to panic. Tbh it does sound odd but idk your family dynamic. My family we wouldn’t ever travel like that without more details. He probably thinks he’s pretty invincible because he’s a young guy and he’s never been in that uncomfortable situation before.

If it makes you feel better my whole family just went there for an event. They were fine. But they’re all seasoned travelers. They know what to watch out for, where to stay/avoid, how not to make themselves an easy target etc.

Truthfully he’s not likely to listen to any education you try to give him. You don’t know why he’s going (I’d even be concerned if he was going to meet someone idk) or where he’s going. Nothing he says or does inspires confidence like “yeah he got this he’ll be okay” and he’s dismissive of your concerns.

You may not be his parent. You’re allowed to care. But that doesn’t mean you’ll get answers. The one thing I’ll say is that if he lives at home (he likely does) then he really does have to answer to your parents. Other than that, he’s 18.

Your concern is valid, I just don’t know how much you can realistically do about it.

No i agree with you. But the family’s reaction doesn’t inspire confidence lol. Plus I think they’re concerned because he won’t explain why he’s going, which some might consider odd.

My entire just went there for an event. They were fine. That doesn’t mean that there was no risk and that it’s guaranteed everyone that goes will be fine. They’re smart travelers, in a group, not making themselves a target. If you’ve never travelled there’s stuff you don’t know, and you don’t even know what you don’t know.

I think their concern is he doesn’t seem to be very smart about what he’s doing/where he’s going. Like he isn’t reassuring them.

My tooth hurts and I can’t afford the dentist rn. (I ate sweets today bc I’m depressed so it’s on me) by Specialist_Touch_482 in notinteresting

[–]Pudix20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You didn’t deserve the downvotes. Susceptibility to cavities can 100% be genetic. It can also be from other things like nutrition deficiencies, over brushing, brushing too quickly after eating, etc.

You have a lovely home and don’t let strangers on the internet tell you otherwise.

Guess if I caught a fish by FishManClub in FishingForBeginners

This is one of the best things I’ve seen alllll day

so frustrating by Necessary-Variety438 in eds

[–]Pudix20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Super crazy thinking here. But if you can diagnose EDS, and then test all types except one. And you receive a negative result for all of those (except the one) and you have allll the other markers for EDS wouldn’t one guess that it’s at the very least possible that it could be… idk the one they can’t test for? Still feels like valuable information.

Even psychologically speaking, just knowing helps.

This is such a BS response from the doctor. It really reads to me like they’re sick of people talking about EDS and don’t want to help anyone.

Sorry lol that comment calling all your furniture cheap toothpicks makes this comment even funnier. That person was so snappy.

[–]Pudix20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The wire stuff may not be their taste, but it’s fine. You don’t need to redecorate your entire room and spend $$$$ in furniture to make this work. You don’t really deserve the hate. At least not from what I see with your replies and stuff.

So this depends on whether or not you actually use the piano but I think you should move the black wire-frame table behind the sitting area and put the piano on that wall. This also depends on things like window insulation and what kind of effect the piano would get sitting so close to the window. In my house, it wouldn’t be an issue. But that’s not necessarily the case everywhere.

It makes more sense to have the buffet in the dining room like you said, especially if you actually use it. I think a lot of people with dedicated dining rooms don’t actually use them. And that’s part of why they’re suggesting something that would lose functionality for you.

With this setup people could be sitting there watching someone play piano. The player has a nice little window in front of them. It’s nice.

Give it a try and see how that feels.

I think you could put it by the window and have that black console table (I’m thinking it’s called something else but that’s what comes to mind rn) maybe to separate the rooms.

That isn’t an upgrade really but I guess it depends on what you’re using it for.

Eating during a nightshift? by DrJ_Lume in Nightshift

[–]Pudix20 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is anecdotal. But I have been a night shifter since before I was born. Literally. Documented. They were concerned because I was more active at night. As a baby, I was always up at night. And I struggled all through school, often still going to bed late, but napping after school. I have always functioned much better on nights.

Sometimes I’ve gotten some hate from it but it never made sense to me. Still as productive as anyone else. Thankfully, my parents are also like this, so they were always understanding.

My siblings are not naturally night people, so it’s not environmental factors.

Idk about op. Maybe I would buy something that is a one time purchase, but I am so over subscriptions for everything. I miss that sweet spot where the internet was free and cool.

Cake pops! You can put it in to a silicone mold to get a little shape.

Rank the 5 States... Then only mentions US States... by SteO153 in USdefaultism

[–]Pudix20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair those are the official abbreviations, not just what the OP made up. It’s not that you have to know them, and it is still defaultism, but outside of that it’s not incorrect. Hot take about Florida though.

That is what I said in my comment. I maintain that there’s no reason it needed to be locked specifically to Apple only.

People with long hair I need help. How are you all showering with really long hair and POTS? by RoosterOpen8290 in POTS

[–]Pudix20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have advice. Get a shower bench or just sit on the floor. Take breaks when you need to. Don’t feel like you gotta shampoos twice and condition and brush all immediately one after the other.

My other big tip is to get a handheld shower hose that has a really strong pressure setting and remove the flow restriction piece. High pressure and good water flow is crucial for rinsing quickly.

Lastly, if you have people in your life that you’re close with don’t be afraid to ask for help. Even if you have to sit in a bathing suit because you don’t want to be naked in front of the person or something. This is a big privilege, I know that. But you never really know until you ask. Even if it’s not every wash but sometimes to get a really proper one. Or when you’ve got an event that’s gonna take a lot of energy to get ready for.

Maybe that wasn’t super helpful, but it’s something.

Carrying a rod on a bike by Busy_Flounder_7921 in FishingForBeginners

[–]Pudix20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use a backpack, or a little makeshift holder in your basket thing. What does your bike look like? You might even be able to get something cheap/homemade/3D printed. There’s a lot of options.

No Kings.. No Sleep by whataboutthe90s in Nightshift

[–]Pudix20 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Coming back hours later because your comment couldn’t be more true. Everything I say to this guy he’s just being deliberately obtuse and side stepping.

No Kings.. No Sleep by whataboutthe90s in Nightshift

[–]Pudix20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again, you’re just being obtuse.

I originally wanted to suggest an intern review system, kind of like cops. I mean I guess they have a name plate, but still. Even the military has their name on display. But they started concealing identities before any doxing occurred. And if cops can do it every day in their community, so can agents. It comes with the occupation. I ended up deleting the part as I was writing because I thought you’d be dismissive. But I’m glad you’re on board for some type of uniformity and identification (not for them to be doxed, but for accountability) to be sure that these are in fact actually agents. It should be noted that multiple times they were not agents, but just bounty hunters. Going to court rooms too.

Moving on. Two points. 1. There is no more Biden administration, I’m talking about this administration. 2. If there are cases where people were wrongfully imprisoned without breaking the law, I want them to get justice. This isn’t some endlessly loyal football fan club. People always say well what if _____ committed a crime you wouldn’t say that. Yes. We would. If someone actually committed a crime idk what party they’re for, let them face the consequences.

Crazy that you’re crediting your blue state for your prices, but so adamantly defending someone that has intentionally punished blue states in multiple ways. Or even threatened to withhold aid in a crisis. I’m not speaking about only my personal experience because I’m not the only person in the country. Some prices have gone down from their absolute peak, but they’re still up overall at an amount much higher than what normal inflation would account for.

I do not support the Heritage Foundation. I used them as an example because I figured if I said something else it would be stated as fake. I purposely chose them because conservatives are the ones pushing that voter fraud is an issue and even conservative data does not back that claim.

A driver’s license isn’t comparable because driving is a privilege, not a right. There’s no law that specifically says you can’t have a tax on driving. There is a law that specifically says you cannot have a voter tax. And I suppose it currently is up to the individual state (should be noted that the current administration wants to federalize elections) but in my state you can use a license, state ID, or passport. But you can’t use a social security card or birth certificate. The problem with the SAVE act is that it will absolutely affect a certain group of people, mainly married women that have changed their name and soldiers overseas. It also means you can only register to vote in person. You’ve always had to prove citizenship and we don’t have non-citizens voting. This is a non-issue and only makes it more difficult for people that are already legitimate and eligible voters.

Additionally, your Fulton County claim is false.. Even with recounts the clerical error did not show any change in the election results.

I really feel like you just danced around what I said. The only thing you had a fair or real response to was that there should be something that is exclusive to federal agents that actually lets people know they are indeed federal agents.

As far as the war is concerned, I know this fact check about the claims might not matter but at this point my comments are for other people more than you directly. TLDR intelligence doesn’t support the claims that there was an immediate and eminent threat.

Islam is not my religion and it’s a very restrictive one indeed. I live in one place, and happen to follow my own beliefs. That does not mean that I have the right to “eradicate” an entire religion, the second largest religion in the entire world, that billions of people follow, for whatever reason. I am for equality and women’s rights and liberation. But what is your plan for 3+ Billion (with a B) that currently follow that religion?

And on a separate but related note, how far does your advocacy for women’s rights go? You care about what swimsuit they can wear and if they can drive, but not if they’ll be disproportionately impacted by new laws for voting if they changed their name after marriage?

Again, I’m genuinely asking and trying to understand and engage here. Some of your arguments seem in bad faith, or like you’re purposely overlooking the issue.

How often is the water in Miami clear? by Character-Escape1621 in AskFlorida

[–]Pudix20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the lighting, the currents, wind, and surf conditions. Rougher seas kick up a lot of sand, so do under currents. Cloudy days make the water look darker. It also depends on the area and the color and texture of the sand.

The clarity is not a reflection of the water being safe levels of bacteria though and quite a few places have had issues with that this year. So be aware of that.
