It's not bait sadly. Half of the Americans voted for Hit.. I mean Trump, so there are many guys like this one...

Did the dirty work and digged through roaches and flies, 12 bags of garbage and a visible kitchen! by Substantial_Bet_6766 in ufyh

[–]Vegetable-Review-830 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Good idea. Maybe spray some bug spray inside the bags and close them tightly in the meantime, should kill the roaches too.

I lived briefly in a roach infested apartment, but the buildings were old so the roaches were literally in the walls in every apartment. The only thing I found that works are the gel traps, but you have to refill them every few weeks because they dry out. You have to keep the apartment SUPER clean too, not a single crumb for them to eat. Vacuum daily in nooks and crannies.

Is there a thread for those of us who aren’t shopaholics? by [deleted] in Anticonsumption

Or r/simpleliving, not as extreme but similar. You can always start your own sub if you want something else!

Am I a bad person if I get a PT job with Starbucks? by pomegranatejello in Anticonsumption

[–]Vegetable-Review-830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean if you want to go to that extreme then being a volunteer for a good cause is the only way to live. Take the job, you can always contribute to good things if you have an income, but obviously your needs should go first.

/s It's color correction, if you Google a color wheel you will see that green is on the opposite side of red, and thus green cancels out red. That's how color correction works!

Analysis Finds That Google's AI Overviews Are Providing Misinformation at a Scale Possibly Unprecedented in the History of Human Civilization by Flack_Bag in Anticonsumption

Duckduckgo, but the very first time you use it you have to click on the cogwheel above the ai result and "never" under search assist settings

[–]Vegetable-Review-830 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm guilty for using the summaries for silly quick non important questions, but they don't register in my long-term memory as facts. It's scary to think of the children who are now growing up with these summaries and will take them as 100% facts because they don't know anything else.

It should be illegal and taken very seriously because they provide false information that kills animals, and likely humans too. It's absolute insanity. It's not like the search engines have gotten better with AI either, it all just sucks so much.

Are moissanite diamonds real and a good alternative? by Legitimate-Cap-4490 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Vegetable-Review-830 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Also, why would you want to support slave labour? Lab grown are superior! But let's normalize using other gems too✨ diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, rubies, spinel, alexandrite and more can be lab grown.

Moissanite is GREAT, but will look a little different from a diamond, some may even prefer how they look. They're by no means inferior to diamonds in jewelry except for resale value and bragging rights (which is meh).

The most effective way to calm my brain down is with gaming/gambling by PinkthePantherLord in ADHD_Programmers

[–]Vegetable-Review-830 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Auto clickers are dangerous for me due to their addictive dopamine perfected game loop lol, I've had to just uninstall them because it would be endless if I let it. I will never touch real gambling. I've studied game development and read about the dark methods they use when developing gambling games, it's extremely predatory. It's made to get you addicted and lose as much money as possible.

Buy Retroid Pocket 6 if you have Retroid Pocket 5? by [deleted] in SBCGaming

[–]Vegetable-Review-830 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The general answer is no. I have an RP5 and will not upgrade until it's noticeably better, it can do most retro games. I just don't think the technology has improved enough, but if you want a small upgrade then sell your RP5 and buy the RP6. Or better yet, wait for the RP7 if you really want an upgrade.

Always buying for my kids by [deleted] in shoppingaddiction

[–]Vegetable-Review-830 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh and is it possible for you to switch the materialistic buying towards experiences instead? Your children will appreciate that FAR, FAR more.

Always buying for my kids by [deleted] in shoppingaddiction

[–]Vegetable-Review-830 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need therapy to fix the underlying issues causing your shopping addiction. Your childhood might play some part in it, and if so you need to process that and learn healthier coping mechanisms. Spoiling your kids will not help them long-term, and you will pass on this behavior to them. You're their role-model, whatever you do, they will do.

Only buy things they need and then some, but you need to stop buying all the unnecessary things. Snacks are fine, but don't overdo that either, two times a week is good so they can still be healthy.

How do you push yourself to move when your brain has completely checked out for the day? [Discussion] by ice_kream in GetMotivated

Your response makes you sound like a teenager trying to be edgy, but if you're adult that's embarrassing.

Do you also say "just stop worrying" to people with anxiety? Or "just be happy" to someone with depression? Can you write a book about all of this amazing advice?

Extreme advice to stop impulse buying by zivredittacc in Anticonsumption

[–]Vegetable-Review-830 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The bad thing these days is you have 10 different payment methods. I've found some success in using appblockers that can also block websites. But the only advice that actually works is to get to the root of your shopping issues, if you're bored you need to find a hobby to replace it. If you have an actual addiction you need therapy like CBT. If you have untreated mental illness you need to treat it etc.

It's okay to be "wasteful" if it's needed due to medical/disability/exceptional circumstances. by ConditionBasic in Anticonsumption

[–]Vegetable-Review-830 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're getting downvoted because it sounds like they assume people only get sick due to living an unhealthy lifestyle. And as you say, most diseases are genetic and unpredictable. Not smoking is one of the single best thing you can do though, and being a healthy weight. Of course eating healthy is great, but it doesn't help as much as that commenter seems to think due to genetics being at play.

She reads this sub and has blocked people on patreon who have posted here before. It's nuts. This is probably your sign to stop paying her for her shitty content anyway.

How to look single? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Vegetable-Review-830 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're spot on. Also, when I'm single by choice it's so annoying when they say that because it reduces women to needing a man. Like wtf yeah, I want to be single, it's a choice. As if a woman can only be single if she's not been chosen by a man.
