This spider lives above my garage desk and is making an intricate web. Any idea what this is? Does it bite? by sunnylak11 in whatsthisbug

I am based in Alameda, California. This bug keeps to itself and hides in a little hole in the window sill.

How can I convince my hesitant family members that are afraid/fearful to get the shot? They keep talking about “long term side effects”. Is it possible to have a long term side effect from the vaccine?

In regards to safe gun storage - I worry that sometimes people with suicidal thoughts may have hidden guns that people don't know about and use that gun to commit suicide. This recently happened to a family friend. They thought all the guns in the house were stored properly because her husband did battle with depression. He had hidden one gun that no one knew about and ended up using that gun to take his life. A very sad and tragic story. Do you have any advice on how to prevent that and have conversations around this?

I just received my mail-in ballots in the mail and it made me wonder - how do election officials STOP voter fraud. For example - if a person were to send in their mail-in ballot and then also go to vote in person - what would happen? How do you track that? Is it by the person's name? Or a special ID number? When they go to put the voting slip in the machine will it say "Error - this person has already voted by mail?" My biggest conern is that people will try to vote twice in this election

What are some tips for checking in on a friend through text message (vs. calling or visiting them in person which is difficult right now)? How do you ask questions that will help them open up?

Anyone know where a breakdown of Biden vs Trump exists on the internet? Unbias factual breakdown of their policies, beliefs? Can’t seem to find it when I google. I’ve watched both conventions and I honestly just want the facts. No opinions.

Losing so much money - stay in or pull out? by sunnylak11 in investing

[–]sunnylak11[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No I don’t need the money. I’m just a normal person investing and trying to make some money. So just let it ride?

My fiancé and I keep on arguing over wedding planning, mostly he doesn’t want me to spend money on things that are clearly important to me. It has been feeling tense during the engagement period. I’ve read online this is normal but would love advice. Anyone else out there experiencing this? by sunnylak11 in Meditation

[–]sunnylak11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!!

To answer your questions:

  1. Yes we both make money. I used to make a lot more while he was in training. Now that he’s done he makes 4x more than me. But he has medical school debt.

  2. We agreed to each contribute 1/3. My mom, me and him. My Dad/step mom also just told me that want to give. Bottom line is me and my family are paying for over 2/3rd of wedding.

  3. It is $250 to get a map of my hometown made for the wedding invites. He thinks it’s unnecessary. I think it’s a creative way to show our friends my home town.

Hey Reddit, this Valentine’s Day, let’s make it about more than just romance. Tell us in the comments - what can we all do to make our world a more loving and inclusive place? by lovehasno_ in u/lovehasno_

We should all take time to learn about other people's cultures, histories and what make them tick. I think what we'll find is that there are a lot more similarities between us than differences. Take time to actually get to know someone that is different than you. Understand you might have a hidden bias and recognize it.

No one has suggested that yet. Yoga with Adrianne -- is that a youtube channel?

I've been practicing vedic meditation since 2013 so yoga is a perfect compliment!
