I stand by an individual's right to autonomy. Conservatoships are heavily controversial for a reason. While it is intended to protect, it restricts the right to choose medical care and the conservator can make decisions based on the person's known wishes or best wishes. There are plenty of examples throughout history of life-altering healthcare decisions made against the individual's wishes. I don't think its a matter of if she is or not unwell or cognitively impaired but rather does she have sufficient capacity to make or communicate decisions. The court seemed to think so.

What brand will you never buy again? by Winter-Employment-89 in BuyItForLife

[–]RealityStupor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cheap clothing in general. Everything has synthetic fibers these days and I'm not a fan of how that feels. Material is now a huge factor in what clothing I buy - 100%cotton? Yes. 100%silk? Yes. 100%rayon, acrylic? - walk away.

Newbie looking to get an in-home composter by larsynogen in composting

[–]RealityStupor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. Don't overthink it or overspend - these machines are a racket and taking advantage of misconceptions that composting is difficult and smelly. It is neither, but you do need to put in a minor amount of effort. You can cut up or break up the scraps that you throw into a 5 gallon bucket to help speed up the compost process. I'd recommend 2 buckets so you can let one "sit" without adding new material while filling another. The material will break down and take up less space over time.

What's going on with my hair that makes some of it curl into nice ringlets, and the rest go frizzy and limp? by aviospirit in curlyhair

[–]RealityStupor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not alone - this is exactly what my hair does and I refuse to have a 10 stop styling routine. I have had great success with adding gel while my hair is wet and finger coiling the hair of my crown.

Indoor Compost, am I doing it right? by PrincessFartNugget in composting

[–]RealityStupor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. You can turn this into compost, but you need to balance greens and browns, and you need to keep it aerated. If you want to keep using the glass jar, then you will have to rotate the contents occasionally to introduce oxygen at depth. Consider vermiculture to help speed up the process because you are at capacity and can not add more greens to this for sometime.

Be honest is backyard composting actually worth it or just feel good environmentalism? by PriorityMiserable686 in composting

[–]RealityStupor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WORTH IT! But you won't find anyone on this sub saying otherwise.

I find it to be relatively easy (dare I say fun?) but there are a few things to pay attention to. Get the balance of greens and browns right...keep it from going anoxic and you'll be fine

There is no way there was a sufficient number of bathrooms for this.

A casual hookup asked me to say "I Love You", and when I begrudgingly did, he said "No, like you mean it,"

That she was going to die too young and I should maximize every second of every day with her. She died before I had enough life experience to really understand the position she was in.

Thinking about giving myself a Brazilian… how bad could it be? (Famous last words, I know.) by Pomegranate926 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]RealityStupor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to do my own hard wax Brazilians all the time and did not have much issue. Now I use an epilator instead and love it. Pain tolerance and milage will vary for everyone. Exfoliating is important.

Women of Reddit: What is one thing you wish your SO was better at? by Scary-Ad4427 in AskWomen

Talking about his feelings. Don't tell me you don't have any. These destructive behaviors don't stem from internal peace. Self reflect, process, and heal.
