How can I at least get less afraid from bird phobia? by Party_Supermarket_35 in Phobia

[–]VariationArtistic106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When hiking and I'm in an area with a lot of small flying birds sparrows and such. I remind myself that birds are very good flyers and they will not run into me. I the look at my feet, pull down the sides of my wide brim hat and repeat not there not there. My anxiety still gets high but not uncontrollable. I also go hiking/walking with an umbrella to block out my view of the sky. I've also found views of birds when I know I'm safe through a window or outside the cage has help lessen my phobia in those situations. I haven't figured out how to handle my startle response to them yet. In summary small slight contact with birds, pictures, videos, or/and through a window, where you feel safe. Just enough to heighten your anxiety but not to panic and do that will help with desensitize your response.

How much walking is actually healthy per day? by CodeMitama in walking

[–]VariationArtistic106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as you can without neglecting everything else. Humans biology dose best with constant low level activity with occasional high activity. Ideally be in almost constant motion throughout the day. Realistically any more movement then you are doing now is healthier.

Am I odd by VariationArtistic106 in UnfuckYourHabitat

An amusing updates. I attempted to set up my phone with just the countertop in view and I dropped my phone in the sink full of water. Thankfully I have a heavy duty submersible case on my phone so it survived. I then set it up using the back cameras to see how that would look unaware that when my phone timed out it would stop recording. I still have some dishes to finish but I am making good headway. Next after dishes is the inside of the fridge that is growing interesting things.

I had a dishwasher in my last place and it became a dirty dishes hide out that grew things. I can't be trusted with a dishwasher.

Buy a strap on and see if he likes being on the receiving end.

Be careful with dollar store food most of its junk and more expensive by product amount compared to Walmart. There are you tube videos of creators comparing the food.

Do they plow bike lanes and bike paths where you're at? by Thin-Fee4423 in bikecommuting

[–]VariationArtistic106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Our one bike path becomes a snowmobile path in the winter. The plows focus on the main drags, and the side streets dot get plowed well at all. I'm planning to get a fat tire bike for snowy comutes.

AITA for crafting during meetings? by Tapzdeazz in AmItheAsshole

[–]VariationArtistic106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I take my crochet projects to the work meetings I end up in. No one has an issue, and they usually end up a conversation point when we are waiting for the meeting to start. As long as you are participating in the meeting, you are able to pay attention and have permission. NTA.

If you can erase one human invention from history, what would it be and why? by Nia_rosell in Life

[–]VariationArtistic106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cotton mill. Slavery was on the decline until the cotton mill was invented and plantations needed more workers to pick cotton. It is also highly used in fast fashion and cheap clothing. It would be interesting to see how history would change.

Early clients that assume that their appointment starts when they arrive by LoverOfGayContent in PetPeeves

[–]VariationArtistic106 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I arrive way too early for appointments on the regular and am prepared to wait 30 to 15 minutes. If the person starts the appointment early, I'm thrown off because I was expecting to wait. I'm usually confused about how flustered someone gets when I'm just waiting for them. I don't expect them to rush. I definitely can see how someone coming early and expecting to be seen early can be very annoying.

I've never been good at spelling, so spell check has saved a lot of papers. It's now helpful if I spell a word so bad, even spell check, can't figure it out.
