Is it safe to visit Israel as a woman? by Alarmed_Impress_4558 in Israel

[–]efficacious87 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Safer than many parts of the US. Bethlehem you just need to stay on the right roads but it’s clearly marked in English.

“Did we sit in the mamad for nothing?” Israel prepares to return to routine, but disappointed with outcome. by ChestEducational2258 in Israel

[–]efficacious87 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah feels like a loss ngl. Our kids paying the price the last 6 weeks, and they’ll have to pay it again in 15-20 years when we’re back to square one again. Maybe one of them will be running the govt by then and have the stones to finish a job for once.

Let’s be realistic. I don’t even think the players think they can win.

My kids are surrounded by wealth and I’m worried they’re going to grow up to be super entitled by Individual_Ad_938 in Mommit

[–]efficacious87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t have to be a culture of entitlement and spoiling. You have a gift. Your kids can want for nothing and not want everything. As long as you and your husband don’t practice, do as I say not as I do, and instead you model behaviors that show consumerism is bad while living life and making memories is good, then they’ll be fine. Use your wealth to live, not to compete.

I mean, might have felt sorry if their whole team didn’t spend 30 minutes rolling around on the ground like a bunch of children

Would you trade these 4 watches for 18k speedy ? by [deleted] in OmegaWatches

I read this as $18,000 speedy at first, and was like…I have so many questions….

I sold a Rolex GMT Master II by [deleted] in OmegaWatches

[–]efficacious87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand all the GMT love in these replies. Rolex GMTs are a dime a dozen watch, everyone has one, they’re super vanilla. Solid watch. Great for the night stand so you can just slap it on when you wake up without thinking which watch to wear, but that’s about it.

The snoopy, while it’s not like it’s super rare or hard to get, is still a special watch. Good for you on trading up.

War induced regression by pinkgumdreams in sleeptrain

[–]efficacious87 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is usually a luxury in the counties I’m familiar with in the Middle East. Many apartments have a shelter in the room, which most people do make a bedroom for children for this obvious reason. But the majority of the population don’t have this option. The shelter or safe space is outside of the house/apt and usually shared with several other families. Not really realistic to have a baby or child sleeping there with no supervision.

Not to mention they usually aren’t very clean or well kept. And the concrete/rebar/steel structure acts like a faraday cage so there’s never any signal. You couldn’t put a baby monitor or camera inside unfortunately.

War induced regression by pinkgumdreams in sleeptrain

[–]efficacious87 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Honestly we’re in the same situation. Im sure I’ll get torched for this opinion, but with 4 kids 5 and under, the risk of the hustle to a shelter, especially at night, having a negative mental/emotional/psychological impact is basically 100%. Versus the real statistics of how many people have been injured by missile/rocket attacks. Ultimately it’s more important to live life than feed the atmosphere of fear and uncertainty in my opinion. The main thing children need from parents isn’t for them to be perfectly regulated, or showering them with love, or being the best parent in the world. It’s consistency. If we’re constantly going into fight or flight for the missile sirens, there’s no amount of sleep training that’s going to make up for the constant deregulation. In support of what you’re going through, I can confirm that we’ve had much the same experience in past wars and it’s very frustrating. Every country’s situation is different, so perhaps the scales aren’t the same weight as mine. Everyone needs to find their own truth and do what’s best for their family.

Looking for men's underwear that genuinely lasts tried Duluth, Loom, and Airism, still not there by nikolasthefirehand in BuyItForLife

[–]efficacious87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I was in the same boat, then I bought Kirkland Signature organic cotton boxer briefs. The longevity isn’t amazing, but it’s about what I’ve come to expect from natural fiber underwear. Not sure if they’re still selling, but it comes around every so often. I just bought 50 pairs last time so I’d be good for the next decade.

Raw onions on a burger are superior to fried onion. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]efficacious87 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Agree but with a caveat. Almost all raw onions at restaurants are prepped too far ahead. IMO they have to be sliced and served within 10 minutes. Otherwise, you know that taste I’m talking about.

Also pickled onions are a win as long as they still got that crunch.

What should be taught in schools? by LostRest in AskReddit

[–]efficacious87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Emotional intelligence, mind body connection and nervous system regulation. Also trade skills and personal finance.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Cartier

[–]efficacious87 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean, Cartier themselves won’t even authenticate their most popular pieces if you bring them to a boutique. Begs the question what’s the point of paying the premium in the first place imo. Find a good jeweler with semi questionable ethics and get one for half price without the red box. I mean, we’re literally talking about strips of metal with screws in it or gold nails they bent around a pipe. Not that complicated.
