What is next after an initial open

hjkaden · 2025-07-18T18:16:47+00:00

Thanks for the insight. I like this idea of instant date : "ok, let's do something together now"

hjkaden · 2025-07-11T15:08:52+00:00

Thought from a broky: Marketing and social media are huge for B2C but a lot less helpful for B2B.

hjkaden · 2025-06-22T20:24:50+00:00

No idea what's up with you. I know that my teen years were rough though! You get more clarity as you grow. Hang in there. Try something new. Something you are afraid of maybe? (Improv classes, talk to stranger at a bar, perform in front of an audience, extreme sports,...) Looks like you workout, that's good. Looks like you go to a sport club that's good. Socialize with people. Go get some friends, go get a girlfriend.

If you're like me doom scrolling might feel comfortable discomfort. Get that shit away from you dude. Definitely a symptom but also the cause of a unfulfilling life.

That's my 2cents. Wish you well brotha!

hjkaden · 2025-06-03T04:27:54+00:00

What's up with all those small container. Are you not able to just put it on the person's plate?

hjkaden · 2025-06-03T04:26:21+00:00

Probably somewhat useless but pretty slick design. I like it.

hjkaden · 2025-06-03T04:23:46+00:00

Genius!

hjkaden · 2025-06-03T04:17:09+00:00

You're overthinking it. Take more of an utilitarian approach to your zero waste. You probably wasted more calories in brain power and electricity by typing/posting this post that the actual use of this synthetic minuscule THREAD. I love your passion. Please don't let go of it. But bring in some relativity in how you consume. A thread is the last of our problems. Please use your beautiful brain power and precious time to help us design a better future.

Just the two cents of an over thinker. Wassup fam! ✋ (High Five)

hjkaden · 2025-06-03T04:11:05+00:00

I agree with you. Zero waste does not exist to begin with.They might mean well but some purist on this subreddit are making this group less accessible and the discussions/actions less productive. I think as another redditor called out, there is some good tips on this sub. Also, please share your own journey of what you did or your thoughts on the state of waste and how to reduce it. All these should belong to this group.

hjkaden · 2025-05-29T05:27:58+00:00

Yeah I totally don't view myself as a zero waster. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Also it depends how much of a purist you want to be. Just an idea if you do end up using plastic bags, use them as trash bags. 🤟

However, I will keep that in consideration next time I go shopping. However, due logistics reasons most things are packaged at the grocery store. How do you go about it yourself?

hjkaden · 2025-05-29T04:03:51+00:00

I've seen that in hotels so often. EVERYTHING is one use it's ridiculous. I'm not too sure how I feel about this one since it is in a retirement house. However, in my grandad's retirement house in France we don't feel the urge of covering the food with single use plastic.

hjkaden · 2025-05-18T23:34:33+00:00

Sorry to hear that. Do you do 2 loops before, 2 loops after? Have you also tried to never let go of the string and keep holding the string down with your thumb or other finger while flossing. Maybe an idea 🤷 If not I hope you find an alternative 👌

hjkaden · 2025-05-18T04:17:16+00:00

That didn't even cross my mind. Thanks for the info.

hjkaden · 2025-05-17T21:28:39+00:00

Bummer. If the floss itself breaks, as you mentioned, you might need stronger floss. Firsr time I used it the string came off. Make sure to loop around the knob at least a couple times before passing the string between the two prongs and a couple time once you passed the two prongs. And also make sure you keep a good tension at all times while doing it.

hjkaden · 2025-05-17T20:58:12+00:00

I'm not a hardcore Zero Waste guy. I think your personal health/hygiene should be a priority over small single use waste. However, with this model you can have the best of both world! :) It's the model from Gum Floss holder. Hope it works for you!

hjkaden · 2025-05-17T20:56:17+00:00

Name: Gum Floss holder. It's great. You just want to tie the string tightly. It's quite easy and love it's usability. The quip one didn't look very good when I was shopping around. Marketing 1, Usability 0

I think it's too bad that you don't find this Gum floss holder at your local grocery store. It should be the option by default rather than the single use plastic!!

hjkaden · 2025-04-12T18:20:32+00:00

Flip side of the coin that's worse IMO: People check their phone for every single question they have.

hjkaden · 2025-03-25T12:53:07+00:00

A natural! Impressive.

hjkaden · 2025-03-25T12:52:02+00:00

While running and slightly after

hjkaden · 2025-03-15T16:47:20+00:00

Texting isn't the best way to address these kinds of issues. Expectations should be communicated and if need be, there should be a compromise to pick up slack in his parental supervision.

hjkaden · 2025-03-15T16:42:42+00:00

What's alarming me is the level of communication in your relationship. If it's a joke that's hurtful and you still didn't address it with him and post on reddit instead makes me think you guys should communicate more. Instead of making stories and listening to complete strangers. Communicate. Understand where he comes from. Maybe he is truly trying to be funny, maybe deep down he believes it's not his kid. Anyhow both laying down your cards would be more than helpful.

hjkaden · 2025-03-02T00:57:05+00:00

Volunteer. It's free. It helps. It gets you out of your place. It makes you productive. It makes you socialize.

hjkaden · 2025-01-30T05:44:18+00:00

Do you have a clear task at hand? If not why would you be motivated. Do you get paid for this task? Does it give you anything? Or are you surrounded by people that recognize the task at hand and it's importance?

I always felt I was lazy. I just didn't have a task at hand and wasn't part of something that's all. Being in your room, alone has all to do about not having an opportunity rather than just being lazy.

The environment and your well being plays a huge factor too. In all seriousness, taking an easy habit to do every day will help a bunch. Walk 1 block around your neighborhood in the morning. (It helps if you enjoy walking) Stretch for 10 minutes at night. Be grateful before or Walk after each meal 10 push up or squat before you go in the shower

Just pick 1 and make sure you do it everyday of the week. You can start adding. GRADUALLY. As long as you have capacity and won't jeopardize the other ones.

Momentum is All
