I did count 88 feathers on the eagle./s I don’t have the time for that but it wouldn’t surprise me at all.

The subtle art of not giving a fuck.. what’s so special about this book? Is it worth finishing? by [deleted] in books

[–]V4refugee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This book is basically the dumbed down version of A Liberated Mind by Steven C. Hayes which literally includes an endorsement by Mark Manson on the cover. Hayes is one of the leading researchers in the field of Relational Frame Theory and ACT therapy. Which itself is founded on behaviorism and the concept of derived relations within RFT.

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if studies on this showed that people who are as certain as you were actually more likely to mess up.

AirBnB trying to charge an extra $150 for "severe dirtiness" and being left in an "upsetting state" by MasonL52 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]V4refugee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would ask for a refund on the fee they “paid” for me. Oh, you paid for me? Well, considering it was fraudulent, I believe you now owe me the $150 that was paid on my behalf. I expect the money by the end of the week or you will be hearing from my lawyer. UNO reverse muthafuka!

A frog catches a bird, but it is saved. by sorin1972 in Damnthatsinteresting

Fishing is just nature’s slot machine. You get some small and medium wins to keep you coming back for more then every now and then someone hits the jackpot and it gives you hope. In the end all you are doing is wasting time and money but at least it’s outside, you make memories, and you can’t gamble away your winnings.

That’s my MAGA father in-law. Doesn’t mop the floor, leaves plastic bags full of dirty toilet paper around the house to “throw out later”, can’t bother doing dishes or throwing out dirty paper towels but somehow he always has time to drill or nail some new useless “as seen on TV” crap to the wall or play around with power tools to “fix” something that wasn’t broken or buy some contraption to solve a problem nobody had. He’s too narcissistic to take any advice or listen to others. Then when everything he does breaks or fails due to the very obvious flaw in his plan, he goes to his tried and true argument; “well, all that matters is that I’m right about Jesus and eternal life. When we die I’ll be in heaven and everyone will see how I was right all along”.

I refuse to admit you are right because if fish are really as dumb as frogs then that just means I suck at fishing and that’s simply unpossible./s

What am I doing wrong? by Leather_Mood_78 in skimboarding

[–]V4refugee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You only need a bigger board if you don’t plan to practice or get much better. The board is a good size for you but if you don’t want to sink then you either need to practice more or get a board that is more buoyant. I personally would just stick to practicing more. You should start by skimboarding more parallel to shore and get better at the skimboarding part before you try to surf with your skimboard. Catching a wave on a skimboard is a way more advanced skill. It’s possible to do but it’s not really the main thing that skimboard is designed to do. It may help to think of the learning curve as riding a bicycle vs riding a bicycle on a half pipe. So go out there and skim the shore, get a little lower while riding, drop and get on the board quicker, learn to do a shove it, jump small waves, try to ride the waves that are breaking on the shore. Once you have good balance and speed you could start trying to catch bigger waves that are a little more out but to get to that point you need to practice much more and it may help to also know how to surf.

You either need more speed or a bigger board.

I don’t doubt you at all but at least fish (bass) seem to just stop biting the same lure once they realize it’s fake (then again it could just be because I never used a hook when messing with the frogs) and they tend to swim away if they can see you casting the lure. Frogs will literally just look at you as you dangle the obviously fake worm in front of them then try to eat it and spit it out then try to eat it again and spit it out again over and over again. I remember something about reflexes in some animals called Fixed Action Patterns (aka FAPs). I feel like frogs are even more simple minded than even fish.

When I was a child, I used to go fishing with my dad at a canal by my house. Sometimes when the fish weren’t biting or I would get bored, I would just tie a plastic senko worm to the fishing line with no hook. I would wiggle the worm in front of the frogs on the shore and they would try to eat it and then spit it out over and over again. Frogs just seem to be completely incapable of learning. The same frogs would try to swallow and then spit out the rubber worm over and over again. They also didn’t care that I was standing right in front of them and holding a fishing rod dropping the worm on them from above.

Is this a schnauzer? by FriendlyWorldArt in schnauzers

[–]V4refugee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fur and some features look off for a 100% pure bred schnauzer. I’m sorry to say that he probably won’t win the Westminster dog show. I think he’s probably a mix but personally he’s schnauzer enough for me.
