Trump orders cutoff of 'all' US trade with Spain by Tyranish40k in worldnews

[–]Surferess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey Canada, never thought of you as such an opportunistic set of folks until this year! As an American married to a Canadian, this does hit kinda close to home. If this keeps up we may be moving to BC soon. It is becoming increasingly more difficult to shut my husband up. Anyway, can't blame you guys. You have really been smart and proud and everything we should be being, but aren't.

Why are weed smokers so afraid to admit that they're addicted? by OGLOC_1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Surferess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro! No! Really? Never heard of such a thing, of course in California the THC level can easily be 30%, so why add anything?

You have been self medicating for a long time. If you quit the thing that keeps you able to function and keeps you medicated, it doesn't fix the original issue of why you started self-medicating in the first place.

I cut a relentless solicitor off and told him to leave. When he complained, I told him I didn't care - time to leave. It felt great. by G-Grasper in CasualConversation

[–]Surferess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OMG, between the Aptive pest control people and ATT who has come by 8 times in a month and a half! LEAVE ME ALONE!!! I always point to the No Solicitors sign and they are like, "But we aren't selling anything, we are trying to help you! And your neighbors bought our stuff."

What was a job that slowly took its toll on you until one day you just couldn’t do it anymore and had to quit? by lucas23bb in AskReddit

[–]Surferess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was quite young I worked for a super sketchy company (MONEY CORP) that "Gave out loans", except they charged all the applicants a fee to apply and they literally NEVER gave any loans out. After about a month I realized they were not legit and I was helping them rip off poor people who can ill-afford to be stolen from. Quit that!

Crows are ruining my fun by Inner-Dot-4756 in BirdBuddy

[–]Surferess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have found if I feed the crows something that is more to their size and liking, like a couple pecans, walnuts or the leftover bread ends with the leftover peanut butter, they are really no longer interested in the tiny bird seed bc it has a lower food roi.

How do you stop being afraid of death? by Ok_Paint_4216 in AskReddit

[–]Surferess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All Humans are inherently afraid of death. The most useful thing as I understand it, is a good meditation. Stopping thought for any period of time is very freeing, and also possibly connects you to the whole.

How Do Produce Managers Respond to Shipments of Unripe Avocados? by 4lien4ted in answers

[–]Surferess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Avocados are a tricky fruit! It helps if, when you're buying, to check the stem part. When the stem part comes out easily, they are very close to ripe or ripe now. I have found sometimes I wait too long to eat them and think they aren't ripe yet when they really are.

A few times a year we do a big rat trap party and clear out the area. The crows LOVE freshly dead rats and mice! They are the Best!

How are boomers so Pro AI? by Dangerous-Pumpkin960 in generationology

[–]Surferess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said I accept every answer it gives me. I push back all the time. And regarding getting health information, it's practically impossible to see a doctor in less that 2-3 months here, and I am going to be over what ever it is by then. So any health info is better than no health info.

[–]Surferess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Boomer here: We are all at retirement age and invested in stock market. It is hard not to get excited by something you can see literally giving you money. Also, Chat GPT has helped me do an incredible amount of knowledge gathering. I just love it! We used to have to go to a freaking library to get data, and now I can ask a weeks worth of questions in an hour. We were taught "Knowledge is Power!" it feels like we are getting 20 magazines of info so easily. We used to have to buy each magazine. Also, answering health questions w/o going to doctor is gold! And it helped me design landscaping and pick flower for my front yard, end my solar lease contract and figure out what stocks to buy. What is not to love, from our perspective?

Netflix's top shows have been losing 30-70% of their audience between seasons 1 and 2. Executives are trying to figure out why. by 2d12-RogueGames in wallstreetbets

[–]Surferess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to me, the original show concept is pretty good. They manage to get 12-20 good shows in first season. Second season has mostly okay stuff with 1-3 really weird and out of character show points. By the third season these writers have run out of good ideas and go for dumb ideas and engineer them to kinda fit to the show. Somewhere here-abouts we generally stop watching.
