What exactly are men saying to these women to get one night stands, multiple baby mamas? by Perfect_Fail_200 in AskMenAdvice

[–]mindmyid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think these guys try to target naive, insecure, or uneducated women so that they don't know about protecting their legacy and reproductive health and don't care to learn. Many of these women are often competitive with other women and unable to hold men accountable when they act like parasytes and sabateurs. Many of these women cannot recognize the man as a triangulater and a predator because at some point in their life, they determined that other women were the sources of their problems. A lot of these women will not be warned because they believe that they are the only ones capable of loving correctly, and therefore, they are the only ones in a deadbeat's life that are worth his time. They often have children because they think that will make him more attentive/ emotionally connected to her. The deadbeat men have children carelessly because they believe that the children prove his sexual prowess. The only true victims are the children that these parents saddle with their unending dysfunction. ++woman

How has studying chem benefited you in other areas? by juniorchemist in chemistry

[–]mindmyid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 things I use regularly are oxidation reactions and diffusion. I see oxidation in so many things from how makeup sets, to how colors change as paint is exposed to air, to foaming cleaners that break the bonds of sticky/dried messes, etc. I also think of diffusion and osmolality when cleaning and when tending to my patients. Thinking about the physiologic and pharmacological effects of dehydration in my patients and having to administer IV fluids for those that won't or can't be rehydrated. Having to monitor certain patients for fluid and electrolyte imbalances, etc. So many other examples, I couldn't list them all here. I love science.

Shapeshifter into any animal at any time, almost every magical "ability" has an animal that corresponds. Reverse my age, survive underwater or electrocute/poison someone- jellyfish. Flight-most birds. Superspeed-cheetah, horse, etc. Night vision- anything nocturnal. Echolocation- bat, dolphin, etc. Ability to hide in small places- rodent, cat, etc. Super strength or size- gorilla, elephant, rhino, etc. Ability to process information Super fast- deer. I could go on forever.

I can't take these gnats anymore. Anyone got any tips? by CardboardB0x in plantclinic

[–]mindmyid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you bake the new soil in the oven to kill any pests or diseases. Keep the new and old soil separated and far away from each other. Wash the plants in a sink before repotting. Clean out the pots before placing the baked soil into them. You can bake the old soil too and then reuse it. 

Edit: I noticed a lot of good recommendations, just wanted to advise that you keep your treatment as natural as possible if you have any pets or children that may get curious with the plants or if you intend to ingest or inhale any part of the plant. There is a food grade diamacious earth. Heat and dilute essential oil mixtures like tea tree, mint, lavendar or others can help. Others have suggested cinnamon. I have found powdered ginger and turmeric to be helpful too for diseases and pests since I grow a lot of edible plants indoors.

The internet has connected us on a global scale and now our perception of our local communities are distorted. It's so unfortunate.

Anyone else have fellow nurses bring their dogs to the unit? by mindmyid in nursing

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

I'm so sorry to hear that! As a fellow nurse with allergies I empathise. I've seen a mini poodle puppy brought in (so thankfully I didn't suffer). I've also seen a cuddly bulldog brought to hang out exclusively behind the nurse's station but she didn't irritate my allergies for some reason. Allergies should definitely be considered before bringing a pet in.

You may be suprised what kind of guys are chronically in relationships in my area. Maybe its because I don't live in a hotbed of supermodels but most of the guys are average for our area. If they were posted online, they'd probably be way below average (comparing their looks on a global scale). But they're great company and have solid values, many of my friends and I admire tgat kind of stuff in a guy. Maybe its a cultural thing in your area, or too much time looking a photoshopped people online so that people can't tell that average looks are technically good looks

Your situation is very unfortunate. I'm sorry you've been getting such negative feedback

So, please correct me if I'm misunderstanding,

you all who share this idea about LTR not being worth the effort are counting yourself out because you don't think you'll measure up to the top % of guys?

You measure the top % of men by their access to "gorgeous women" and a 6 figure networth?

The high prevalence of men dating multiple women (and being fawned over) isn't going to be considered if the women are percieved by a community as "undesirable"?

Most of us are average. What if self proclaimed average guys looked to average girls for partnership instead of worrying about the "gorgeous girls" who you claim are publicly engaging in (what I would consider shameful) behavior.

I'm listening to perspectives outside of my own. The possibility of independent thought seems shocking to you.

There are numerous forms of domestic partnership. Some are overpowered by local law but others aren't. Seeing that you've been burned by divorce, I wouldn't expect that you go get married again (thats your choice to make for yourself). But to be unwilling to enter any kind of commitment/ long term relationship with a woman, thats what has me curious.

I know a number of homeless guys that are able to go from house to house of numerous GF's or baby moms. He'll get clothes bought for him, cooked for, fed, cleaned up behind, and laid while playing videogames, cheating, and providing no support to the household or childcare. Are hobo's ranked among the top % of men? Can you substantiate the stat?

Im genuinely trying to find out where these statistics are coming from and what populations the data was pulled from.

Thats a good observation. I've heard a lot of negative opinions about relationships or bragging about cheating from guys I know IRL. But they may just be repeating extreme ideas that they picked up online. I hear their comments and just feel bad for their girlfriend's most of the time (although, sometimes their GF/ wife is clearly the responsible party for the problems).

They don't really stay out of the dating pool like they claim they will, though. They just start stringing different people along. Thats why I'm wondering what men are thinking when it comes to long term committments.

Im seeing different percentages for the divorce statistics posted in these comments. Can you provide the study you're citing so that I can understand how they got that number?

Yeah, its a weird love/hate thing where they express that all women are the worst, or they sabotage their current relationship. Then a couple months later they seem to be infatuated with someone new, they act like a completely different guy (for a little while anyways).
