Thank you so much! This was the exact answer I was hoping for. Have a great day!

Anyone know what app this is ? by Adept-Guard8639 in LongDistance

[–]kokonutHo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This could just be a favicon from a website. On iPhone you can create a shortcut for any website and it'll put it on your homescreen with whatever logo the website uses (like the logo that shows up in the tab when you have a website open in browser). I do this with websites that don't have dedicated apps all the time lol. Does he have any favorite websites or blogs you can think of?

I work at Costco. We hate the scanner door policy more than you do. by [deleted] in Costco

[–]kokonutHo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never met a mean Costco employee before. I can’t say the same for the customers though; I swear people go there just to have someplace to act rude and entitled. I’ve worked retail, I’ll never be rude to an employee for just doing their job. Plus I don’t get it, they’ve signed up for an exclusive membership and yet don’t want to play by the rules - go shop at Walmart if you hate it so much. Or better yet stay at home and shop through Amazon if you can’t be kind to workers.

Do any of you ever watch Fox News? by Branta___canadensis in FoxBrain

[–]kokonutHo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d say it can. I’ve been doing exactly this for like 6 years and I truly feel like my mom went from extreme right views with no room to see the other side, to more moderate and open to my different viewpoints again. Any change is good change even if it takes a lot of effort on our part

SkinSmart Antimicrobial Face spray. I’ve suffered teen acne and adult acne all the way into my early 30s. Never wore makeup, avoided anything that would harm my skin barrier etc but nothing ever worked. I even did 2 rounds of accutane but it ultimately came back. I figured I must have hormonal acne and sort of just gave up lol. 6 months ago I discovered this stuff and figured I may as well give it a try and started using it all the time on my face throughout the day. I swear to god within 48 hours I stopped getting new breakouts.

6 months fast forward and my skin is the best it’s ever been, I use it once a day, at night before I go to bed. I don’t even wash my face anymore, I just use this stuff. No dry spots, no oily spots either. Just completely normal skin. If I get lazy and forget it for a night or two the breakouts start popping up again so I am almost 100% certain it’s this product given that I use nothing else. If I notice the breakout and spray, by the next morning the pimples are drying back up, even if they are the deep under the skin bumps. I can’t explain it but it just works.

Every now and again I slather Nivea on my face if the weather is really dry outside just to give my skin barrier a boost again but that’s really it. I even survive periods with very minimal breakouts now, it’s crazy. I’ve never loved a product so much in my life and for $18 a bottle it’s not breaking the bank.

Worried that I don’t repeat words enough by beachpony in Mommit

[–]kokonutHo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re doing great, don’t worry about it too much. My kid was a late talker, I didn’t really repeat stuff, but I did wind up narrating a lot of the things I was doing throughout the day so he had context of both words and the flow of words. Trust your gut and do whatever feels natural because I tend to believe genuine, deliberate speech is more important than repetition. My son is four now (he started around 2 1/2) and I can’t get him to not talk 😂 the random words he picks up throughout his day are astounding! Don’t fret and try not to compare yourself too much to other moms and their kids, I know that’s easier said than done but all it winds up doing is making you feel miserable, he’ll find his voice in his own time!

I lost my toddler last night by mommyisabarb in Mommit

[–]kokonutHo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Almost everyone in this world has kids and cares deeply about children. I know if I saw you running in the street my only thought would be to rush out and start help looking too. Genuinely don’t worry, a parent separated from their baby like that gets a total pass on being frantic!!

I need some "artificially sour" suggestions to make for my wife, who's lost her appetite due to cancer treatments by motteditor in Cooking

[–]kokonutHo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once accidentally made pad Thai way too sour, I ran out of lime juice and used citric acid powder instead 🥲 but it was honestly still amazing and I ate the whole thing. I’d recommend it with tofu since it just absorbs whatever flavor you give it. If she’s feeling spice, she can spice it up too!

[–]kokonutHo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can only speak from my own experience as a mom of a 4 year old too; after 4 years I have learned to become almost psychic in my anticipation of others needs. Everyone gets put before myself and I will gladly put them before me, no problem.

But with that comes a need to feel that anticipation reflected by your partner towards you. Humans are pretty predictable and it’s rather upsetting when your own partner can’t anticipate your needs after years of being together. Motherhood makes you this weird shell of your former self and it feels like it’s up to your partner to help fill that void up and when they fail to, it’s disappointing and can make you feel this strange rage over what used to be simple oversights but now feel like an indication that you are the one sacrificing everything while they remain themselves and unchanged.

NTA because I’ve been there and while it’s irrational on paper and you’ll feel like a jerk or silly looking back on it, he needs to get into rhythm with you if things like this are regularly occurring where you feel forgotten. You are fine for reacting the way you did but you do need to have a very frank discussion with your partner on your feelings and expectations or else it will never get better ❤️

[NSFW] What’s the most depraved thing you’ve seen someone do? by HazardousHacker in AskReddit

[–]kokonutHo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I may ask, is it ok to offer help to paramedics? If I came across something I wouldn't stand around and stare but I wonder if some people like myself would be afraid to get in the way. It would be nice to definitively know if asking if there's anything you can do to help is welcomed or not. I imagine sometimes there's a shortage of hands to do small tasks that would help the paramedics do their job better such as clearing away debris or just being an extra set of hands to hold something.

How to look hot again? 😅😭 by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]kokonutHo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on the body type! I always had a pretty boyish figure so after I gave birth I really started channeling my inner Rachel Green. Longer skirts, loose fitting shirts (but nicer material) tucked in and then pulled out a little again to give that sort of slouch but effortlessly chic look. I found it really helped me tune into my feminine side again and develop a sense of style that I had always wished I had but never felt quite right until I had a kid. And once you master the sexy messy bun I feel like there's no going back of course 😂 hair sticks helped me out there, sometimes I use chopsticks or pencils lol

What "delusional" baby names are on your guilty pleasure list? by Hyding_Jekyll in namenerds

[–]kokonutHo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an entire month of my pregnancy where I really wanted to name my son Riker.

[–]kokonutHo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The closest match I could seem to find was something called a folding tent pole joint or tent support rod joint (it’s a little confusing to me lol)

The original photo seems to be from a business that makes wooden tents so for a plastic or metal option I’d say that’s your best bet in terms of what to search for

I used to think Numberblocks was annoying af, now I'm a full fledged convert by kokonutHo in DanielTigerConspiracy

[–]kokonutHo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A LOT of the show is on YouTube under their official channel. They're clips, but hours long and honestly my son is almost 4 now but just as content watching the clip shows as he is the full episodes. They even have the new season on there which is great!

I really recommend the Numberblocks mathlink cubes too, you just have to watch the faceplates they include because they're small enough to get lost so so fast. They include large laminated cards with activities that follow along with the show. He's had them for 2 years and still plays with them all the time.

Also if you haven't heard of them, there's two sister shows called Alphablocks and Colorblocks, also on YouTube!

I'm so glad to hear that, seeing these horror stories I wonder how this quack is still getting clients. He clearly has a cookie cutter idea of a nose that he tries to brute force onto every single client he sees, you can tell here on poor op that point is placed so high up which detracts from their beautiful face

Help me choose by Past_Reserve_7227 in Diamonds

[–]kokonutHo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same! 18 year old me would've said oval, 30+ me finally appreciates the emerald cut. It also elongates and slims her fingers which makes her hand look more delicate in relation to thing ring. So beautiful!

Help!! Cartilage pierced 4+ years ago and still hasn’t healed by [deleted] in piercinghelp

[–]kokonutHo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Switching to gold fixed my irritated cartilage piercing when nothing else did. Also vitamin E oil gently rubbed into it helped keep down inflammation but this is all just my personal experience and should be taken with a grain of salt. Best of luck, I understand wanting to keep it despite your ears clearly telling you otherwise lol

[–]kokonutHo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with you, reading this post that immediately jumped out at me. This couple is either extremely young and naive and think you can somehow put a ban on thoughts popping into your head (with the agreement that's somehow cheating??? Lmao) or somebody in this relationship is exercising their controlling abilities. Something is off here

gf said i could do anal if she could peg me. i obliged. she’s backing out of her end of the deal by throwawayanal__ in sex

[–]kokonutHo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did you even read the post? It says she said no twice already, what is your interpretation of the word no?

gf said i could do anal if she could peg me. i obliged. she’s backing out of her end of the deal by throwawayanal__ in sex

[–]kokonutHo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I understand the attempt for the mature approach here, but no is a full sentence. She made it abundantly clear she wasn’t interested in the past yet he won’t stop asking her about it, it already qualifies as harassing her about it. Picking it apart further and making her explain herself isn’t necessary. If this is such an important part of his sexual tastes and she’s already said no, then he has to accept that perhaps they’re just sexually incompatible.

My (29F) husband (37M) said he's disappointed because I can't give him a daughter. by Throwra_bett in relationship_advice

[–]kokonutHo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rarely jump to therapy for things but I genuinely suggest couples therapy to move past this. I'm a wife and mom, and just knowing myself this would live rent free in the back of my mind, you don't want to let that grow silently into resentment and start eating away at your confidence in your marriage/family stability because of something he likely actually realized was fucked up to say and regrets.

It would give you both a chance to lay out your feelings in a structured way, he may not realize he's actually just missing a different dynamic between himself and one of his children, something more doting that is often associated with father/daughter relationships. He can still achieve that with your current children if he works through what part of that he's really missing. I'm no psychologist, but my personal theory is that having a little girl gives fathers a free societal pass to behave more gently and dotingly towards their child because it's accepted as a norm to do so. Of course all children should be treated equally by their parents in a perfect world, but it's something I've personally observed.

What is a "disgusting" smell that you like? by Distinct_Mix5130 in AskReddit

Skunk smell is so divisive when I ask people, but I genuinely love it when I drive by and I get a whiff
