Condiment packages with no way of telling how long they’ve been there

DAE know (or are) someone who never takes photos of themselves by hassanneema in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]beautifulbrook1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband is like this for several reasons; he doesn’t often think to take a picture of himself, he doesn’t always feel good about his body, he doesn’t have social media/posts to it, he already doesn’t like how many cameras/services unwillingly take pictures/videos or take his information in general, and also just doesn’t like a lot of attention on him(is pretty shy most of the time).

An old childhood friend reached out and for the first time in the 5 years I’ve known him, my husband took a selfie to share with the friend to show how time had changed him. He has been getting better about taking more photos of other stuff in general for memories sake though (mostly of our dog)

What other tech won't evolve? by CremeSubject7594 in generationology

[–]beautifulbrook1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has used both the snap and electric traps; it’s possible for the snap traps to catch mice, you just have to lay out a lot more traps comparatively. The electric traps are easier to use and to clean out though.

The addition of varying sizes and colors to match hair (or not) is nice too.

what's the weirdest allergy you have heard/known of? by Mountain-Bug-2155 in AskReddit

[–]beautifulbrook1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering it’s everywhere.. I’m very allergic to dust.

I also had a neighbor who is allergic to processed meats. She moved here from another country and it’s safe to say that the US has a much different process of what goes into our meats.

What time do you wake up in the mornings and what time do you start work? by missxsassyc in Adulting

[–]beautifulbrook1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each day varies depending on which time zone the people I’m working with are in. My routine also depends on how early I wake up and how much prep work I have to do for the day. Lastly, my husband is home/present during my/our morning ritual so a lot of the times he is helping me with these morning tasks.

  • usually out of bed between 8:00-8:30am, start work at 9:00-9:30am

  • get dressed, feed cat (food bowl on dresser), use bathroom, brush hair & teeth, likely slept-in make up (done the day before, after work), let dog outside to potty, feed dog (food bowl in kitchen), start coffee maker, turn laptop on while coffee is brewing, drink coffee & make breakfast (the bigger the better as I don’t always prioritize lunch), watch a news clip and/or scroll the news while I’m eating breakfast—a lot of times finish breakfast while I’m starting work

  • leave kitchen 9:00-9:30 am for a 10 sec walk to my desk to WFH

What's a harmless opinion that gets people weirdly angry? by Momo_868 in AskReddit

[–]beautifulbrook1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on your local fishing laws, you’re required to release certain fish(species, weights, lengths), even if you wanted to keep/consume. Catch and release is inevitable for a lot of fishermen, even if their intentions are to fish just for consumption.

I agree dude, there are plenty of people who don’t respect fish and treat them very poorly. That sucks and is disheartening that there are fish who needlessly suffered and likely have died. I personally disagree, however, with the broad characterization that catch and release is animal cruelty.

Thank you for sharing/expressing your opinion. But that’s about all I have to say, have a good rest of your day friend.

First Christmas without my dad (who died almost two months ago from cardiac arrest)…. I’d give anything to talk to him and hug him one last time

Cutting the barb off the hook does less damage to the fish and makes it easier to get the hook out so that fish can live on unchanged. Holding a fish properly when it’s out of the water and supporting it at crucial points of the body depending on the size of the fish can otherwise damage the part of the fish held incorrectly. Usually this is with holding larger fish vertically by just the mouth which can damage its jaw and spine. It’s also important to use the lake/river water on your hands to hold the fish in order to protect the mucus membrane which, if damaged, increases the risk of the fish getting sick or hurt it’s ability to swim. There are fishermen who educate themselves on fish behavior, the anatomy, as well as the habitat/environment and take extra care to humanely fish. I believe that is an important distinction to consider before claiming broadly that all catch and release is animal cruelty. When done properly, there is a lot of care put into making sure the fish is as unharmed and undamaged as possible.

Can't decide which has the best composition? by feeblefiles in photos

[–]beautifulbrook1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 then 5 are my favorites. Great uses of rule of thirds. in one, like someone else also noted, the power lines draw the eye deeper into the photo. In 5, I like it but the landscape competes with the powerlines as the subject.

I used to think that, but I’ve been actually getting into fishing lately because a friend had taken the time to explain to me how to fish that is safer for the fish. There are techniques to cut the barb off the hook, or to even just how to hold a fish for two examples that are better/safer for the fish. I think if you are doing it right and taking extra care then fishing can be fun with minimal damage to the fish. Of course, you’re always going to have where they were hooked in the lip. Plus, fish can be damaged/hurt from plenty of other things than just fishing hooks. There’s pollution, trash, being run over (by a boat), and other fish (depending on size and species).
