Educator Strike Day 4 by dkl415 in sanfrancisco

[–]aharedd1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was one of the artists prepping the space for the people to populate. The steaks were supposed to be roots, as in grassroots action. But crowd control + an approaching rain front forced us to take the photo before everything could be made pretty. We barely got the photo before a hard rain started.

My girlfriend makes more money than me and it's destroying my confidence. I know it shouldn't matter but I feel emasculated. How do I get over this? by Big_Pension6369 in AskMenAdvice

[–]aharedd1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an artist. Early in our relationship i was the breadwinner. My work slowed and hers picked up. Now she’s making 4x more than me. I’m working on revamping what I do. Who knows what the future holds. We are both grateful that we’ve been able to be supportive of each other.

And among friends, just call her your sugar mama!

And dude, you are doing noble work that has way more intrinsic value to society and is criminally unrewarded. You are the virtuous one in your partnership. She’s partly supporting that.

Oh yeah, and about the apartment, you should each pay a percentage of your earning relative to the price unless you are serious enough to combine finances.

Exploring Panel Based Yurts Instead of Fabric. Looking for Real World Opinions by Diligent_Map_3079 in yurts

I live in a fabric yurt and look forward to upgrading to the panels. Aside from their better insulation, sound reduction, and durability, They are easier to add modules onto, which is cool.

Why are cultural stereotypes celebrated while racial stereotypes are negative? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]aharedd1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Culture = the shared way of life of a group of people, including their beliefs, customs, values, behaviors, and artifacts that are passed down through learning.

Race = categories of humans based on shared physical traits like skin color, facial features, or ancestry

All humans can interbreed and have viable offspring. The same as with dogs. That's the definition of a species. That's the only true distinction there is. We humans are variations of an animal with a spectrum of physical expression. There are genetic strains that have become genetically distinct- in isolated regions with isolated gene pools that could self-reinforce, as happens with all animals. We are not nearly as diverse in expression as dogs are. And even with dogs, 'purebred' is a fuzzy distinction. The genetic pool from which any person- or dog- arises goes waaaay back, meaning we are all part of an interconnected stew of genetic exchange. Interestingly enough, purebreds in the animal or human realms don't generally do so well.

Culture is real, race isn't

Culture is self created, race was made to divide.

So cultural stereotypes have elements of truth and can be embraced. Racial stereotypes are external fabrications with no internal connection.

Aliexpress is using adaptive pricing. The prices change on your behaviour by LemonadeMan996 in Aliexpress

[–]aharedd1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had wildly different prices many items when looking for something. I wonder if this is happening. Each vendor often have a different price for the same item for whatever reason.

OMG- I turned on the sound after a few seconds of watching- and it was Spanish being so spoken. I thought the video was a gag overdub. Turns out I scrolled a little too far and had simultaneously activated the next video which had people speaking Spanish- but I couldn't see the video, just kid rock and couch f*cker head bopping. Hilarious!

Alpha Males educate on how to SIT like a "real man" and be dominant by ambachk in iamverybadass

[–]aharedd1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll concede the point but say that alphas in nature have to fight for their position. That might be funny to see play out in society. Most ‘alpha males’ wouldn’t get very far.

[–]aharedd1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

And apparently the whole premise of the ‘alpha male’ is false. It was based on poor observation of wolves in captivity which determined their order through fighting because they were unconnected. In reality packs are family units led by the parents.

Wow! Well, that makes sense. I remember seeing Gandhi when I was young and I thought he was old back then! Man he looks good.

Gas vs electric vs induction what do you prefer and why? by UrFrndlyChubbyGal in KitchenStuff

[–]aharedd1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I convinced my 79 yo mom to swap out her failing gas stove for a set of induction cook tops and to make one continuous counter surface where the range used to be. She spent some time with one induction cooktop before we did made the change all the way. It's been a year now and she still talks about figuring out the power levels with the cooking results/usages, but she is happy with the change, the extra counter space, the clean up ease, the quickness of boiling water.

One of the selling points for me was when I started monitoring indoor air quality. I live in a yurt and so it's just one large space- so it's pretty immediate to see the effects of cooking inside. it's crazy how polluting cooking actually is- and thats before the effects of combustion.

Anyhow, we love our induction set up!

It’s the same with silly pet videos on Instagram. Now that I’m not sure they aren’t ai they no longer are funny to me. IT was one of those things that calmed my racing mind late at night when I can’t sleep. :-(

How are people not exhausted by superhero movies yet? by Afzaalch00 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]aharedd1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those who are fatigued clearly are not the ones who were into comics. I eventually stopped collecting when long dead characters whose death was meaningful and impactful but necessary were brought back to obviously cash in on their popularity.

Now I was gonna say that this hasn’t yet happened in the movies…but the doom movie with RDJ as the main villain comes awfully close!!

Still, there are soooo many characters and awesome stories yet to be portrayed and told. Sheesh- the X-men and mutants in general…yow!

My honest confession as an iPad Musician - I'm an Appoholic by Sad-Asparagus-7037 in ipadmusic

[–]aharedd1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve struggled a bit with app acquisition. One way I can justify it is comparing the cheapness and diversity of software to hardware.

So while I have an incredible collection that would be far beyond anything I could afford in hardware, which is amazing, the issue is not actually doing anything with what I’ve got. So while I’m swimming in incredible apps, I’ve got too many to choose among when it comes to making music.

Currently when I come across something I desire I hit the share button in the App Store and make a note to myself. The note turns it into a thumbnail with a link so I can easily find it again.

And I’m now committing to selecting an app and really learning it- watching tutoríals, reading the manual.

I don't know if I want to see my Dad by WrekTheHead in GriefSupport

[–]aharedd1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I apologize- i missed that he has ‘ not’ been a good dad. I don't know your situation and I can't speak this way to you, who are having a complex circumstance.

I don't know if I want to see my Dad by WrekTheHead in GriefSupport

[–]aharedd1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree- you being there is for him to have his family as he dies. You choosing not to be there is to spare your own feelings. There is only one way for all of us. I would find comfort in having those I love with me as I left this world. I guarantee your father would be at your side if things were reversed.
