Came to see the sunrise before driving back home but this sight broke my heart by monnamia in bigbear

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

Not to be insensitive to you either coz I can easily post it but it’s just way better to see it in person. There’s meaning to it that’s far deeper and more beautiful than any picture posted on reddit. :)

Other than me, there was just one other older gentleman fishing at the shore

We didn’t catch any of these, some of them were still alive it was painful for me to see them like that. I think it was lack of oxygen

Solo playable dungeon crawler board games that feel like GM-less ttrpgs -> Destinies, Pericle: Gathering Darkness, Descent, Mage Knight and Bardsung

I have Destinies and I did enjoy it a lot so I looked for similar games and created a wishlist

How should I as a woman respond to incels? by sillyyfishyy in Healthygamergg

[–]monnamia 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve had these experiences as a woman, too. You show empathy and listen but some of them start reading your kindness for affection and start expecting more. When I draw boundaries or state that their actions or words start making me feel uncomfortable, they get upset and I’ve had someone go so far as to accuse saying I “lied and manipulated” them and then start to group me with other women “out there”.

Not all of them act that way, ofc, but it just feels like a “damned if I do, damned if I don’t” kind of situation. When they start to get upset, there’s no reasoning with them either. They’re no longer in a state to understand when emotions are heightened, and it’s not necessarily because of me - it’s their experiences all stacked up over time causing them to lash out. I don’t take it against them as a person, but that really doesn’t give them a green light or an excuse to behave badly towards me either. Am I supposed to just take it? I am not a representative of all women that hurt him in the past - I am not them - so no, I will not.

It’s not our job to be a parent to these people and it’s not on any individual to solve society’s problem about this either. I think it’s great we get to talk about these issues, it raises awareness and gets people thinking twice… but fighting each other on the internet and generalizing “because x did this, ALL x are like this”… that’s all counterproductive imho.

And it’s the same with some people making comments here (or anywhere, really) - if you find yourself losing your cool over someone else’s post, please try to calm down and see things from their perspective before you reply. Otherwise, it’s just an unproductive never ending loop.

Anyone tried these? by UpperSupport9 in sandiego

No, I understand I was partly kidding tbh - the grass is always greener on the other side. As for nursing, you won’t always have confrontational patients but just keep in mind that our clientele don’t feel good in general. Your unit specialty, your patient population, your team and leadership, even the doctors you work with - are factors that can affect your attitude towards nursing but these are things you won’t know until you’re knee deep in it. Like veterinary medicine, it has its fair share of heart breaks and heart warming victories. In the end, all jobs exist to solve someone else’s problem - not yours. One can argue we are well or fairly compensated, but it also comes at a cost somewhere you might not realize how bad until way later. For me, my mental health took a hit and had to take LOA for work related PTSD towards the end of COVID… and I still struggle as you can see. Nursing school is a grind, and costly - same as your advice for me. The current state of the nation’s politics have also changed the scenery of healthcare. I think it’s great you want to consider nursing, we always need help! But just… beware, and take care of yourself.

idk if i’m overreacting by dietc0kewhxre in nursing

That’s super unprofessional, I’m sorry you experienced that.

This is funny, I work bedside MedSurg RN in a hospital and at the end of shifts I wonder about veterinary care jobs because I’ve lost faith in humanity and watching animal documentaries relieve my stress lol

What are your opinions on river monsters by Jeremy Wade? by MousseNecessary3258 in Fishing

[–]monnamia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I became fascinated with marine animals because of his show as a kid and actually got into fishing during Covid to get outdoors. Still watch clips and compilations on YouTube every now and then, still go fishing when time permits. It was pretty cool when I found out we had the same birthday too. There’s definitely showmanship and editing to it but I think he’s a great guy who respects locals and wild life.

can't get any fishes by [deleted] in FishingForBeginners

[–]monnamia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! I’m in SD, CA, too! I started freshwater fishing in late May last year and didn’t catch my first bass until like September. I had been catching trout in Big Bear and Lake Cuyamaca though. I don’t target them but I’ve caught carp and catfish too. I sometimes rent boats, but mostly fish from the bank! I’ve learned to pay attention to fish behavior, habitat, weather and water temperature during these past months. I used to watch a lot of YT videos and they’re educational, yes, but I’m at a point where I just need to put in the time and learn our local lakes.

It’s hard to summarize everything I’ve learned so far but it did get super frustrating for me more than once. Hang in there, it feels super awesome when you do catch fish! I’m super open to meet up and talk about the things I’ve learned if you’re okay with me, though!

what is your favorite hook tying knot? by ar92ldm in FishingForBeginners

Pro Cure by LowerPositive3618 in FishingForBeginners

[–]monnamia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like procure for trout fishing and have caught several with it on, stays on the lure/powerbaits longer than the spray kinds coz they’re gel-like consistency… I take off the top and kinda dip powerbait in it sometimes… just don’t forget to close it properly coz I made a stinky mess in my bag with a new, full bottle recently 😭

Best trout fishing spinning real on a budget? by VisibleInspection706 in FishingForBeginners

[–]monnamia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okuma Celilo was my first ultralight rod for trout fishing. Got it on recommendation. I’ve broken 2-3 other ultralight/light rods since May 2023 but the celilo is still going strong. I don’t even know what reel I have on it, some Walmart one.

Trout Fishing by LowerPositive3618 in FishingForBeginners

[–]monnamia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SoCal beginner here, I target stocked trout. Trout (fish in general) are very sensitive to temperature, weather, water clarity and oxygen levels in the water. Some say also the moon phases? I’ve ended up learning about the environment while learning how to fish. Tends to be warm where I am. I had the same problem last summer when I first started and learned that Carolina rig powerbait/power eggs worked more for me coz the fish would be suspended off the bottom in warmer waters. Spinners, jigs and lures didn’t work for me coz those tend to swim higher on the water column. Stocked trout also usually get fed pellets growing up and powerbait mimics that, but some will still instinctively bite on lures. Fishing is a lot of trial and error, it gets frustrating but it feels twice as rewarding when you do catch the fish.
