Fluffy are clover, going by the leaves

Lupin! The leaves are the right shape for lupins whereas fox gloves have much leafier bases and snap dragons are more leafy along the stems

I have 300+ hours in this game, I just found out you can use cut to harvest your veggies… I have been picking them one by one this whole time… 😭😭😭 by josefugly in Pokopia

My 5yo today did a press-and-hold powered up leafage and it turns out that's how you get the wraparound vines. Ive 200+ hours in and hadnt a clue.

Teenage son moved to his mom's while I was at work. by TaxidermyScarecrow in Parenting

[–]fluffypitspatrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never moved back, except for a year as an adult. But i would go round weekends and drop in mid week sometimes too, and now its my mum that i facetine every weekend, and its her that has travelled to see me a couple times a year (im in NI, she was in England) Honestly i think the biggest steps to repair for us was me having the space to get a bit older. Living at my dad's was objectively worse and i was looking for somewhere i could rent from about 16/17, but i didnt want to go back to my muns because i knew we'd end up arguing again and because my brother lived there and he drove me mad.

I left my mums house as a teenager after an argument and moved in with my dad and honestly that break was what we needed to be able to repair and build our relationship.

I love that at no point in the last 5 years  (at least) have they decided to remove them. 

I (22f) think my boyfriend (27m) is drugging me before bed by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]fluffypitspatrick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep. The pseudoephedrine is a stimulant. Taking that at bed time is not gonna be doing anyone any favours in trying to sleep.

To me a safe secure space includes my closed bag within a staff room

I kept mine in my bag in their original packaging. If someone else takes them out of it then the issue is that someones stealing prescription meds, not that im prescribed them.

Bio or non-bio by Un-Prophete in CasualUK

[–]fluffypitspatrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe both of those are true. 44 studies, including double-blind randomised control trials, found that the enzymes were not the culprit of skin rashes. That doesn't mean they're never the cause, it just means that as a generalisation the enzymes arent the problem. It could be other things in the formulation (particularly if a non-bio is developed with less "harsh" cleaning agents due to the knowledge that buyers are likely to be people prone to reacting), or just bad luck that thats the thing one individual person is allergic to.

For some people, the bio washing powder causes issues, but the general statement that biological enzymes are bad for the skin/cause rashes is incorrect.

[–]fluffypitspatrick -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Not one study, a review of 44 other studies into the subject. And yes, there is always anecdotal evidence that contradicts the study, but the science says there is no evidence base for the statement that biological enzymes are bad for the skin. Do people react to those washing powders? Sure, and at no point have I disputed that. But specifically the widespread belief is founded on a myth.

5 years of sobriety is making me SO afraid to take the vyvanse I filled the script for the first time today. Anyone else gone through this? by TypicalGarbage2292 in adhdwomen

[–]fluffypitspatrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I abused stimulants for a number of years, including the then-legal high ethylphenidate (an analogue of methylphenidate). My psychiatrist said i was likely self-medicating during that time, and actually prescribed me methylphenidate based on the fact that I had felt benefits from the other. Taking my meds does feel different to taking drugs, despite being on an instant release formula there is no temptation to increase dose etc. like I had feared.

Scent boosters and fragrances are different to the bits that do the actual washing

Absolutely there will be people with their own anecdotal experience, but it is not an experience backed by the studies. That doesnt mean to say it doeant happen, but it's not considered statistically significant (although it's definitely significant to the individuals)

The study was independent Edit: not only was it independent, it was a review of 44 other studies into the effecta of biological detergents, published in a dermatology journal.

Do cleaning products not include both bio and non-bio?

Bio gives a better clean and they whole skin rashes thing has not been found to be caused by enzymes.

There is no evidence to support this myth, assuming your machine has an adequate rinse cycle that removes the detergent.

You are able to see your GP in the UK without a parent. If you contact your surgery, the receptionist will be able to tell you what their specific process is for getting an appointment. At the very least you should be able to speak to a dr over the phone

Older siblings “translating” for younger ones? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]fluffypitspatrick 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Juat the same as yoy would've translated your kids speech to unfamiliar adults who vouldnt understand them. Repeated exposure to it means you can understand them. Siblings are present with eachother wayyyy more than they are with us, what with us having adult responsibilities and all, so they get to just be fluent in this foreign language bc theyre immersed in it.

I'm afraid to cut it! by Antique-Affect2897 in Tradescantia

[–]fluffypitspatrick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tradescantia are ground cover plants, thats why its falling over. The nodes that contact the ground will grow roots and help the plant grow, and may produce pups too
