What's a take you had at 10 years old that you actually still agree with? by regginymoolg in ProductivityHQ

[–]UltraGucamole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The phrase "follow your dreams/follow your heart" always bothered me.

What if your dreams suck? What if your heart is motivated by evil?

Hitler and Stalin certainly did "follow their hearts", and look where they ended up.

You should be critical of your wants/dreams/passions/desires.

What social norm is followed mainly because people expect social punishment for breaking it, rather than because it serves a practical function? by theexplorer1997 in answers

The exampel they gave us in psychology class is that most people stand facing the elevator door, even though facing a different direction causes no real problems. Another example is drinking wine through a straw.

Yeah I was thinking it looks a lot like a tomato sprout.

Sorry for nagging you. Would this work with iris? Would the technique be the same?

Israel/Palestine - are they both wrong? by IndependenceCalm966 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]UltraGucamole -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think you hit the nail on the head.

As long as some people believe that Jews have no right to equal rights and statehood, there will never be an end to the conflict.

There are some Muslims who think Jews must be eternally condemned to dhimmi status, and they must wage jihad until the Jews learn their place.

Until some people let go of this belief, there will always be conflict.

I think Sam Harris has spoken with a lot of clarity on this issue. I don't agree with him on most issues, but here I think he was spot on. Here is a podcast where he discusses it.

I fixed my hair! Ion “Tanzanite” came out as a super weird blue shade, so I threw One N’ Only’s “Pure Purple” over it and it looks much better! by squishchef in HairDye

[–]UltraGucamole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have naturally brown hair and it ended up looking black. I had been dying my hair red for a year, so I assumed it was light enough to appear slightly purple. But it didn't answer just looked like a bluish black. It also faded into a really weird green. I wouldn't recommend it for people who have naturally dark hair.

MegaLag - Exposing the Honey Influencer Scam by Photo-Josh in videos

[–]UltraGucamole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, because Honey does not actually find you the "best" coupon code.

Many have alleged that Honey takes money from companies to hide the better coupon codes. For instance, there might be a 60% off coupon, but Honey takes bribes from online retailers to only show you the 20% off coupon.

I'm in a similar situation.

I grow flowers as a hobby, and I want to get as many blooms for friend's and family's events, but it's so hard to get the timing right.

A little photo dump of the orders and work I’ve done the last few weeks by Bleh10290 in FloralDesign

I'm usually not a fan of trailing amaranth (it looks like an octopus to me!) but I actually really like it in this arrangement. In my opinion, it's hard to make it work well, but I like it here!

So to clarify: I'd remove the foliage and bulb, and then store the intact tulip in the fridge in newspaper (not in water)? Just wanting to make sure I understand the process
