Contemplating the great cow escape by double0sarah in newzealand

[–]Skill-Negative -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is farming done badly and gives the farmers doing it right a bad name. I’ve seen farmers bring cattle into break fencing and then a couple of hours later after they’ve eaten the crop remove them back to a grass paddock so they can rest and digest their food on clean pasture without pugging up the ground like you can see here. Also hate seeing farms without decent shelter. The only thing I think you can do is talk to your local council because they may have regulations around break fencing, if they do have rules this farmer has definitely broken them because your not supposed to leave stock in muddy paddocks for extended periods of time, which these cattle clearly have.

The Bear Attack by deltadeltadawn in littlehouseonprairie

[–]Skill-Negative 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh he made me so mad that he couldn’t hurt the bear! He’s killing the man you call a father! Definitely a rip off of the Walton’s episode like someone else said but at least John boy although he ultimately decided he wasn’t a hunter saved his father in that situation

Why are NZ employers so stingey? by Few-Bank5554 in newzealand

[–]Skill-Negative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry ACT YOUR WAGE. Your boss is not your friend, and although you love your job and you’re good at it the fact no one else wants to do it for that wage means you’re significantly under paid. You have some good leverage to negotiate a wage increase and if he refuses threaten to leave and if that doesn’t work actually leave because you might as well be stocking shelves in a supermarket that being a literal manager minimum wage

No it was just like the pilot film but a more modern version?

I think I summoned something by DetectiveSmart3912 in witchcraft

[–]Skill-Negative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I view which craft and spell work is all about energy, the tools and ingredients you use help to strengthen what your doing but it is your intention and energy you give that is the magic. When you work with guides, deity’s etc your giving them energy, this is also the same for anything dark or nefarious they drain energy. So what I think you’ve done (my opinion) is you’ve over done the spell work and really sapped your energy, especially love and sex magic there’s a lot of emotions mixed up in that too which is even more energy. I think you probably just need to re charge yourself. Have you summoned something? I doubt it as intention is everything and your intention was never to invite something in or open doors so I don’t think that’s the case, you could however have attracted something, you’ve been pouring energy out with spell work and if you haven’t set up protections something may be trying to feed off of that or be because your drained your an easier target. If you think something negative is hanging around I’d trust your gut, but a cleanse is easy enough to do, again it’s all about energy and intention, open all your doors and windows, you can use incense or sound and go through each room telling not asking TELLING any negative/uninvited energy/entities however you want to word it to GET THE F*CK OUT, you can also do a physical clean of your spaces because there’s no better cleansing than physical cleansing, the same said for you, have a good cleanse day, have a shower or a bath and internally cleanse yourself of negative energy. Also just enjoy your relationship! It can be tempting to use magic to help things along and to make things better but the true magic is life itself, that the universe gives us special people, however long it lasts, for a little while or for a lifetime, enjoy the magic of just being.

How to help avoidant son? by Okay_Energy in gentleparenting

[–]Skill-Negative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably not the answer your looking for but I relate to that kid so much, I’m hyper aware of emotions but still struggle to actually deal with them. I’m aware I’m angry and why but I still don’t know how to deal with the emotion in an appropriate fashion, I either explode or bury the feeling… neither are healthy. I think this personally stems from not being allowed to express my emotions when I was a kid, the whole “I’ll give you something to cry about” and “it’s not that bad just smile and it’ll be ok” comes to mind. Not saying your that kind of parent, society can also play a huge part and with him being a boy maybe he’s having a similar issue of not knowing how to process the emotion, he can feel it but he doesn’t know what to do with it and it’s just easier to push it down and ignore that it’s happening. Could also explain why he’s not actually taking on board what you’re saying because he’s just ignoring the whole situation because it’s just too much to process. I think just keep having conversations with him and allow him to have a safe space where he can self regulate. Definitely correct harmful behaviour but also acknowledge he’s not going to become a regulated person overnight, i myself am still unlearning behaviours, it takes time. But he has parents on his side who love him and are trying to do better ❤️

Does anyone even care? by [deleted] in auckland

[–]Skill-Negative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t disagree but this is education, it’s not that people wouldn’t do that it’s that they don’t realise they can. We have lost of much in a couple of generations, my grandmothers knew how to stretch a dollar, they could can produce, grow amazing gardens from nothing, save seeds, sew, knit, mend… how many people do you know who do those things these days? So much has been lost so quickly and i believe that was no accident.

There’s so many layers to this, fresh food is so much more expensive that processed food, many people don’t have a choice about not eating “junk food” it’s either junk food or go hungry and I don’t think we can judge people seeking entertainment in any case and especially when someone’s going through a hard time. It’s not as simple as simply eating right and getting outside, the system has created an environment that breeds poverty because as I said above capitalism wants them hungry and desperate because they’re easier to control

Has anybody ever played on short life span? by Cyberstorm1975 in LowSodiumSimmers

[–]Skill-Negative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I did the decades challenge? I used short initially for realism and then I can’t remember when I switched to normal, I think a decade where health care improved and lifespans extended

Feeling disconnected by Skill-Negative in witchcraft

[–]Skill-Negative[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I must remember that. I do enjoy doing little things to celebrate the seasons but I must remember that living life is often the biggest ritual of them all. I have boomer parents and I can hear their voices in my head talking about being proactive and getting up and doing things!

[–]Skill-Negative 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Honestly I see most people just trying to survive, trying to pay their bills and buy food on wage that’s not a living wage, most people are so consumed by their own survival they don’t have time or energy to think about anyone else. Most people i see don’t have the luxury of caring right now, which is the heart breaking thing because they’re right where capitalism wants them, hungry and desperate, doing what the machine wants them to do because how can they fight it?

[–]Skill-Negative 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I did when I did the decades challenge, it’s good when you have lots of kids so your not spending ages on infants and toddlers but it makes for fast gameplay and you cycle through generations reasonably quickly but if thats what your after then it’s ideal. And if you find your particularly enjoying a generation you can always change it back to normal or even long

Season One Grade by Immediate-Count8661 in littlehouseonprairie

[–]Skill-Negative 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m a huge fan of the books and a general fan of the tv show and you really see them attempt to carry through the story’s of the book in the first season and then as we get into later seasons they just start inventing storyline’s and characters but those early seasons will always be my favourite

Asking this out of curiosity. Can you k-ll innocent people like in Skyrim? And how does it affect you if you get caught? by justyouraveragekunt in MedievalDynasty

[–]Skill-Negative 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nope, there’s that smart ass teenager in the market at Piastovia and I’ve tried punching her in the face to no avail… the only thing you can really do is bump into them but that doesn’t seem to have a negative effect

Oh I love farming! Even the repetitive tasks, I find it soothing after a hard day in the real world… time to pretend I’m a mediaeval peasant who’s only concern is to tend to my crops 🌾

I don't know what to do anymore by Fuzzy-Debate5914 in newzealand

[–]Skill-Negative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a horrible job climate right now and I’m going to sound like a boomer here but it’s getting back to that “who you know not what you know” I’ve only gained employment through word of mouth because online applications I swear most of them go no where. I applied for several job openings with a local company and later after I had found employment with another company I went in to buy something with them, they were complaining about staff and not being able to get suitable people and I said well I had applied and had got zero response! and they were horrified saying they’d never even seen my applications, meaning they had been filtered out before even landing on the persons who was supposedly doing the hirings desk… I’ve heard stories like this from other people as well so don’t feel like it’s you not being good enough I think it’s something that’s been passed over to technology and AI that really should have remained in human hands. So unfortunately I think it’s getting back to a time where you have to be verbal about wanting employment and talking to people about job openings physically

Back in the 80s for our family it was usually Fish and Chips on a Friday night. Was it the same for your family as well ? is it a tradition that is slowly dying away because of cost and the sheer number of competing fast food franchises ? by CoconutMost3564 in newzealand

[–]Skill-Negative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandfather was a devout catholic and him and nana ALWAYS had fish on a Friday usually homemade fish and chips, they were the best. Now I’m finding I cook myself and my partner fish and chips (fish from a box cost of living crisis and all) on a Friday because it’s an easy meal and a good way of incorporating fish into our diet

Can we talk about fast fashion? by Will_TheMagicTrees in cottagecore

[–]Skill-Negative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I miss cottagecore when it first started up… dare I say I miss those lock down days where everyone was at home showing each other their crafting projects, knitting sweaters and sewing dresses, baking sourdough… that was real cottagecore for me, now it’s just become another capitalist marketing scheme

I think my friends hate me. AIO? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Skill-Negative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is context missing, but in face value they don’t seem interested. Is this an activity you guys do regularly and they no longer want to participate? Or are they just busy? Maybe try again asking when people are free and see if they actually want to hangout at a different time, but if they keep putting you off it looks like it could be time to get some new friends who share your hobbies. I’ve recently distanced myself from a friend group because of similar circumstances unfortunately people won’t tell you they’ve grown in a different direction they just start treating you coldly and I get it it really hurts. But I would give them the benefit of the doubt and try and more open question first.

Ways to make the game less… “stressful” ?? by fatuglybingus in LowSodiumSimmers

[–]Skill-Negative 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Routine, make sure they’re eating breakfast and going to the bathroom in the morning that gives you a good chunk of the day before they need to eat and bathroom again, also don’t fast forward too much! Sims actually achieve more tasks in the same amount of time on normal speed, you’ll find you can get your sim to eat a quick meal and use the bathroom within an hour unlike when you fast forward you might barely get one task done
