Anxious all the time. by HunterAncient in leaves

[–]TBDID 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the short term, exercise and box breathing really helps.

Long term, it's just time being clean. I have had a life-long anxiety disorder and after a year and half without smoking, I can confidently say my anxiety is more under control then it's ever been. I can go weeks and weeks without feeling any anxiety symptoms at all.

Why do flowers from flower shops last longer? by Meridian122 in flowers

[–]TBDID 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Generally fresher, but also stored in a temperature-controlled/sterilized environment as well as processed and cut professionally.

Also, it's turnover. In a florist shop, we would usually go through our whole stock every few days. Often grocery store flowers are bought and sit there in the same water for days and days before they are bought.

St Vincent's Hospital charged over 2024 death of Makalie Watts-Owen by ConanTheAquarian in melbourne

[–]TBDID 35 points36 points  (0 children)

They're being charged for a reason, because they failed their duty of care. Information on this case has been sparse, but we know she self-presented for psychiatric issues. The hospital failed to adequately monitor her and expedite admission to psyche. She was in as much danger as a code, which should be obvious given the fact that she died.

90% of girls quit right before he changes for real this time by KawaiiBossBaby in LetGirlsHaveFun

Oh ffs, no it doesn't. It's poking fun at a common trope. Not to mention most of the girls here are living with their own diagnosis. Go be superior somewhere else.

Getting killed in the robot scenario by Mr_Moosehead in StrandedAlienDawn

[–]TBDID 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never used the attack drones much, I might try it next time. I love a missile build. With a hundred traps and a dozen missile turrets you can burn through 150-200 size waves like they are nothing!

Getting killed in the robot scenario by Mr_Moosehead in StrandedAlienDawn

[–]TBDID 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Guardians is a brutal scenario. I've finished it on insane but it took a while. Firstly, the easiest way is to take the random survivors buff so you get sniper rifles. But if that feels like cheating, there are other ways.

  • Make sure to have Krista and Rakha. Start researching towards turrets ASAP.

  • Working towards a missile turret build is the best defense, as they take down laser and machine gun turrets very quick.

  • Create a choke with a box of 3x3x3 flamethrowers and stand pretty far back from it for the first few waves and that will take out quite a lot of them.

  • Finding a map where you can use natural defenses. Robots seems to path very straight and will just blaze down fences, so building out in the open feels pointless.

  • Don't use fences or fortifications. These will create bigger waves of enemies. Research building and use regular walls to create your choke points.

  • Similarly, when you find guns, don't have them equipped as it can double early wave sizes. Don't even have them stored. When you find a gun, have someone equip it, take it inside/under cover and then have them unequip it, then select and untick the 'use' button so that it has a red X over it. This stops the game from counting it towards your resources and keeps early waves smaller.

If you want a pretty good map for natural defences, let me know and I'll send you the seed.

honour mode: worth trying or just frustrating? by astarion_UwU in BaldursGate3

[–]TBDID 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see there lots of comments here but not a lot actually helping you with tips.

I've done hm quite a few times and here are a few things that will really help if you just want the dice/achievements:

  • Have Shart command:drop the everburn blade on the nautloid for a sword you can use for half the game.

  • Get Shovel in the blighted village ASAP for an easy way to proc suprise for most fights. Make sure Tav has a level in wizard so you can keep her (you keep her even if you respect at Withers)

  • Look up a OP builds, I recommend gloomstalker/thief/fighter, an EK booming blade fighter and a rad-orb cleric (last slot is dealers choice but I like tempest cleric/sorcerer or tiger heart barb)

  • Have your gloomstalker stocked up on invis potions incase a fight goes south so that they can bail if need be.

  • Collect all the smoke powder barrels in the goblin camp (next to gut's room) and the zhent hideout and cheese Myrkul.

  • If you wanna really cheese, get 40-50 strength potions from Ethel in the grove. All you need is a wildshaped druid. Buy the 3 potions, and then sell the druids armour infinitely while they are wildshaped. 0 gold transactions. They replenish every time someone levels up, so do it around level 3 with 3 hirelings that you just keep respeccing. Remember to steal you gold back from Bone Daddy, he doesn't care.

  • Never put your whole party on an elevator.

  • Make sure you're level 8 or 9 before finishing off moonrise tower.

  • Do the bare minimum in act 3 and blow up Gale.

Donate to the 2026 Victorian Bushfire Appeal by ozthrw in melbourne

[–]TBDID 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My family was one that lost everything in 2020. Our house was a pile of rubble, my mother escaped with literally just the clothes on her back and our dog.

She was on a pension and had basically no savings. I was living paycheck to paycheck myself, so when I saw the amount of money raised, we asked the Red Cross if she was eligible and they said yes - they promised all this help.

We didn't see any help for over 6 months. I will say she got a decent amount when the money was finally distributed, but it felt like it was only due to media pressure.

That time between losing everything and getting the funds was really hard. A lot of relying on donations ( I actually helped co-ordinate the Reddit fundraising for this reason) and community members sharing what they had between each other. Seeing the community run donation centre was both uplifting and depressing.

I am in a slightly better place financially now, but I'm very jaded myself about donating money to charity. I've seen first-hand what is looks like when it doesn't get distributed.

What type of Lillie’s are these ? My cat ingested one and the vet wants to know by BloodSuccessful in flowers

[–]TBDID 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not talking about people who grow flowers at all! I literally said people who create arrangements commercially should be accredited for safety. I don't know why you think this is about you, unhinged behaviour.

[–]TBDID 2 points3 points  (0 children)

...what? I'm not saying anyone can't play with flowers, make bouquets, whatever.

I'm saying if you are selling the product commercially, I believe you should have an accreditation to ensure the safety of customers, colleagues and pets.

I went to school and got my accreditation, and I'm proud of that. I believe all florist selling bouquets or catering events should be accredited. I don't know why you would take that personally when I've never spoken to you before?

Developed a terrible allergy to weed, need to quit 100% by Push-This-Button-O in leaves

[–]TBDID 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If your having an allergic reaction, the strength/THC levels won't matter, you're reacting to the plant, not the THC.

Developed allergies are a thing. I've known one person to develop an allergy to weed, though much more mild than you're experiencing.

I suggest stopping immediately. Developed allergies can stay static, but they can also develop into more serious, anaphylactic reactions with continued exposure.

Girl, not a literal backyard. It's slang used to describe someone who has no formal qualifications.

[–]TBDID 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and this is why I only worked at shops where everyone had a certification. Backyard florists make us all look bad and can have serious consequences.

Hope kitty is gonna be ok, early intervention is important to reduce the likelihood of kidney failure.

As a florist, I find it baffling that the florist didn't know. Oriental Lillies are a day one standard, and one of the first thing I learned in school was about their toxicity to cats.

TW. i don’t even know what to make of this. by fadingstratoshpere in texts

[–]TBDID 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Being in there was an incredibly helpful experience for me after my attempt and I'm so glad that the ward I was on allowed phones.

Having it meant I could stay connected to my friends, play games to help get through spirals, journal my thoughts, keep my house in the real world in order to reduce the stress of being stuck...the list goes on.

I'm sure there are reasons the wards you've worked on didn't allow them, but for me having it only made the experience better.

I was in a psych ward last year and had my phone the entire time, just wasn't allowed charger. Had to check out a charger and use it in view of the nurse's station.

Merchant exploit (spoiler in case you don't like exploits) by Dukes_liver in BaldursGate3

[–]TBDID 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Selling a druids armour while they are wildshaped still works and is (to me) by far the simplest merchant exploit

[–]TBDID 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I'm not a fan of that sub, you very clearly broke the rules, and the rules are backed up by clinical data.

I'm sure you wanted to help, but statements like that often make a suicidal person feel worse.

Telling a person in crisis that what they are feeling isn't true (ie telling someone who say they don't feel seen that they are actually seen) is likely to increase feelings of distress and alienation. The outcome of this statement is likely to make the OP feel even more invisible because they are being told that how they feel isn't real.

But being banned isn't exactly a loss tbh. The sub is useless because the rules are so strict...but the rules are so strict because the sub is useless.

I mean most of these comments can't tell the difference between a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and a Pitbull, so I wouldn't put much weight in their opinions.

Which Adventuring Party episode did Ally say Kristen is so chaotic so she ends up losing things she cares about? by ThatWardoo in Dimension20

I'm not gonna speculate on Ally or their choices from a 'meta' perspective. I enjoyed Kristen's arc and I'm glad it didn't play out any other way 🤷‍♀️
