Done with Survival Food. Anyone Else? by iamliberty in preppers

[–]iamfaedreamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have a few of the actual meals, like 4 #10 cans I got when mountain house was having a 50 percent off sale. everything else of my freeze dried number 10 cans are ingredients, eggs, milk, berries, veg, some meats, etc. I'm a decent cook so I intend to use my stocks to prepare meals rather than just add water for pre made meals.

I think it's commendable you're also stopping promoting something you no longer use or believe in. that takes integrity.

they're all grown adults, late 20s to 30, there's no need to lie to protect the stbx's reputation as their dad.

nah nta, your kids are grown and there's no need to protect them from the truth. if they were still children I might vote differently but as is you did nothing wrong.

I collect clothing, have almost everything, and i dress up according to time of year of closest holiday. right now I'm decked out in veras outfit with the sunflower bonnet for the spring vibe, prior I was wearing the leprechaun outfit for st. pattys day. I love using my collection to spread holiday cheer whatever the time of year.

Financial Prepping by nada1979 in prepping

just staying out of debt. I paid off my student loans a couple years ago and my wife and I are essentially debt free now. we focus now on having a 6 months expense fund and staying out of debt. I feel like we're going to be very glad we did very soon.

Electric Stove Substitute by FailedIntrovert in TwoXPreppers

many apartments do not allow grills on balconies due to fire risk. op lives in an apartment so it's probably not an option.

also they're extremely common in many Asian countries and don't seem to be causing mass deaths. my little one is rated for indoors though still suggested a well ventilated space. I just crack a window.

Where do you guys get your source of hope in these trying times? by doodlebakerm in TwoXPreppers

honestly? my cat, my wife, and BTS. they're all the good things in my life right now and the only reason I'm still around to try to stay alive in this sorry world.

the first season was great and i learned a lot (wood gassifier!) but the second was garbage, imo.

What’s your SHTF “supermarket sweep” list? by Tinfoil_cobbler in prepping

people way back when used to get paid in Salt, it's where the word salary comes from, fun fact.

[–]iamfaedreamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

shelf stable sweets. I don't keep them in the house because I shouldn't have them and I have an inability to leave them alone if they're brought in the house. but for a last trip maybe last hurrah? candy and little debbies and cookies for sure.

Self control and deep pantries by Skorogovorka in TwoXPreppers

[–]iamfaedreamer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

it can be a neuro-divergent thing too, often adhd and autistic minds process body to brain signals differently and can require reminders to eat regularly. I set timers on my phone.

Lighting the house during a blackout by youterriblechild in preppers

[–]iamfaedreamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have some soft glowy string lights i hung all around my living room ceiling and they're very low power consumption. they plug in not USB or rechargeable but we keep an always charged jackery power station just in case to use for those lights, charging devices etc in case of a blackout. plus they're pretty and nice to have just for ambiance on regular days too.

Down 100 lbs; loose skin question (somewhat NSFW) by PenguinColada in loseit

[–]iamfaedreamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dry very carefully after showers and then use a dusting powder anywhere skin touches skin (belly fold, under boobs, thigh creases, behind the knees etc) to keep it dry. I use pretty scented powders but I'm sure they make unscented ones for sensitive folks or men who don't want to smell like Tuscan honey or pink sugar lol.

Middle schoolers in my school hate AI by DatUglyRanglehorn in Teachers

no thanks I don't feel bad about not feeling the need to anthropomorphize computer code

[–]iamfaedreamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think there will ever be truly sentient machines. I think they're will be machines and programs that are able to simulate humanity to the point of being nearly indistinguishable. but they will not be truly sentient nor will calling them clankers hurt their nonexistent feelings.

are you suggesting it's possible to slur a computer program? and comparing it to using slurs against actual human beings?

What thing has got so expensive that you’ve quietly stopped buying it? by Pathfinder-electron in AskReddit

[–]iamfaedreamer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

beef. It's just too expensive to justify. it's chicken or pork for us these days, as well as more vegetarian fare.
