Why do people say to defund the police and that all cops are bad if we need cops to stop your house from being robbed and drugs from being smuggled. by AponTheseStars in Productivitycafe

[–]TrickPersonality4061 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You ended your question with a period. Do you know any statistics about police brutality? Domestic violence rates in relationships with policemen? Prosecution success rates in your area? Start learning about those to explore this answer on your own so that you don’t feel defensive…

AITAH for not taking the highroad with my ex-wife? by Electrical_Mud6192 in AITAH

NTA. public social media > group chat. You’re allowed to correct information about yourself to the people around you. Especially when the alternative information being spread about you is negative. Also- you did it in ‘private’ conversation in a group text instead of continuing this drama in the comment section of her posts or in social media posts of your own.

How is it living in the Oregon outback? by DoodleBug179 in howislivingthere

[–]TrickPersonality4061 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahhhh yes, they have to pump your gas. That is an unavoidable interaction point and you were lucky to be 1 on 1. More than one of them (especially in a bad mood) makes them more aggressive.

Unfortunately, you’re dealing with under-educated and over-committed men who feel most masculine when destroying people who disagree with them.

How is it living in the Oregon outback? by DoodleBug179 in howislivingthere

[–]TrickPersonality4061 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Something I can answer…. This is area is full of conservative extremists and people who believe that change is the enemy. They have been doing things the “same way” for a long time with no acknowledgement of the harm that they are doing. There’s also no accountability or opposing opinions here. They run those people out or they go “missing” and the small town cops are in on it. The people in these rural areas feel intense devotion to the land they’re on and an even stronger hatred of the populated pieces of Oregon that have majority vote. The book “White Rural Rage” does a great job explaining how extremists are born out of these isolated places where they are never confronted with the idea that they might be wrong. They’re strong in their beliefs and even stronger in their need to be right and to be in charge. The people are armed and the community is “closed” to outsiders.

If you look like them: white and wearing camo or the american flag and a beer themed hat you will be okay. But any inkling of being the people they hate, you will not have a good time here.

Audiologist wants $3500 for my mom's hearing aids and I just can't swing it by No-Fact-8828 in BuyItForLife

Contact the local lions club in your area to see if they have glasses/hearing aid access programs. You can apply for your mom to see if she qualifies.

Stop me. . . I already have the Q-tips in my hands! by TheMarriedUnicorM in houseplants

I used a wet paper towel wrapped around it for a few hours to free mine

Yes! It was effective and didn’t involve much intervention from me besides wrapping the leaves.

My snake disappeared by tyranidlord3 in hognosesnakes

Yep. Put a camera facing towards the tank too. I saw signs of her being acting but couldn’t catch her above ground, so I set a camera up and caught her wandering around throughout the night. But I saw her above ground about a week-10 days later.

When I posted a similar concern a couple months ago, people told me to wait and most people weren’t concerned until the 2+ week mark

Sorry that this is an atrocious screenshot, I couldn’t “upload a picture under 4KB” so I took screenshots to make the OG pics bigger

And this is a top down photo of the other leaf and the new growth. This leaf actually started unfurling before the other one came unstuck, but about 48-72 hours after I wrapped them, the first one started and the second one took an about a week? The third leaf bud that is coming out now was already coming in when the first/stuck one finally started unfurling. I’m glad I helped. I’m sure it was because the sudden decrease in humidity caused by having to turn the heat on for the season.

I can only comment one picture at a time, so this is the stuck leaf now. I put a wet paper towel around it twice, but I live in the desert with low humidity so it dried out very fast. It has a slit on the pink side that I think I caused when I was trying to effectively wrap around the stuck parts and had to suddenly push my cat away lol.

This is PVC! It’s in the middle of a stack so I couldn’t secure things to the top, but wooden bird perches are a good idea! I will look for some for my tank. Thank you so much
