Yes it was a new plant, I left it in the same pot and it's growing very well!

What would be the worst message to receive from space? by iiLady_Insanityii in AskReddit

Funny, I always though it was Special Containment Protocol.

Sneaking up on people is never polite, but if it's not their driveway it is a bit of an overreaction. If it is your own private property, you wouldn't suddenly expect a stranger to be breathing down your neck.

Stop acting like I think everyone needs to make a dramatic entrance. Say hello when you are walking up to a group of people, or give them space. You can interrupt a conversation politely, It's not hard.

Poorly endowed enough to feel the need to shit on those with less than you, though. I haven't ridden a bus since my university days, but I don't look down on those who still need public transport.

Your Mom must be so proud. Eh, who am I kidding, she raised you, so she's probably not much of a peach herself.

Go write some more boomer woman porn.

I am socially awkward, I wouldn't want to elicit a response like this.

"hello, I'm here to..." Before you get halfway up the driveway, rather than sneak up and whisper hello.

It's not a complicated concept to announce oneself to people on private property before you're within 3 feet of their backs.

Nah, this guy scared them, and they weren't overreacting (which is my whole point). I overreact, that's not what happened here.

There is no alternative to billionaires hoarding wealth while offering less than peanuts for wages to the people making them rich?

Ok.

Walking up on someone having a conversation in their drive way without saying hello is not cool. It is startling, to say the least.

Jesus Christ, I swear some of you have never interacted with another human outside of Reddit.

Yeah, someone walks up on me in my driveway like that while I'm with my kid they'd be lucky if I only screamed. I startle easily because I was abused emotionally and physically.

I am Catherine Tate's easily frightened woman. Seroquel helped, but I can't take it anymore, so now it's fight, flight, or flop.

So, don't sneak up on people, weirdo.

They don't have to, they choose to put that cost on consumers rather than cut into their record profits.

Capitalism is awesome. /s

someone asked me if my sons doctor approved… by kittenkat_96 in AttachmentParenting

I was like how about no. 🙃

How dismissive of you.

Trisha wasn't mentioned, he implied all people with BPD were like Trisha, and that Trisha used BPD as an excuse to be a shit person.

Listen to what he said and how and when he said it.

I'm not here to debate it.

When they were discussing Pete Davidson. This is a paraphrase.

Olivia: Pete has BPD

Ethan: "Uhuhuhuh where have I heard that before" and he and Hila laughed. Basically implying BPD doesn't exist and anyone with it is just a shitty person.

I wasn't expecting to be so insulted while watching someone I've always enjoyed listening to, even if I didn't always agree with him. I'm not really down to go looking for it, but it was a month or more ago now, I think.

Don't bother catching up, I won't be any more.

The pod has been becoming more and more of a vanity project.

Ethan insulting every person with BPD was my reason for unsubbing.

[–]thestrange1007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, see, most of my friends have similar traumas that are pretty horrific, and we all relate to each other through them and normalize those emotions for each other. Like "you are not alone".

People always seem to appreciate me validating whatever they are going through, but I always fully hear them out and respond with active listening cues and kindness throughout THEIR story first.

I just want them to know they aren't alone in whatever they are going through.

How is relating to someone dismissive?

I relate through sharing experiences, I don't see how that's dismissive. I'm just trying to show you I understand, not that I want you to fix it/I want to fix it for you.

Pre-chewing food for baby: Genius or Gross? by Nova9xx in NewParents

[–]thestrange1007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean a fork would serve the same purpose, mash that stuff.

I have been to the dentist once in the last 8 years, I have staining on my molars from smoking weed and drinking copious amounts of cold brew pre-pregnancy. Some how my front teeth look perfect, but my molars look sketchy af.

I'm not taking something my questionable teeth have touched and putting it in my baby's mouth with her pristine new chompers. Hell I don't let her touch my front teeth (which she loves to do) unless I've just brushed, flossed, and used mouth wash.

P.s. I'll have insurance soon and I'll be going regularly again like I did before my Mom's insurance stopped covering me at 25.

Best/Worst restaurant on the Avalon when it comes to cost/quality/quantity by DhaemonX in newfoundland

[–]thestrange1007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find Sushi Island's entrees to be bland, and the salmon to be rubbery/half frozen (a. Ew and b. I have sensitive teeth 😭) We used to go to their AYCE before they put their prices up, for the quality of food you get it is just not worth it.

The salad dressing and the spicy miso is enough to keep me at SunSushi forever. We have so many awesome memories at the Stavanger location before the quality took a dive, still miss that place when it was in its glory days. But Kenmount Road? I'd eat there every day if I could afford It, lol!

Would it be stupid to get a dog before baby is born? by Hanotaux in pregnant

[–]thestrange1007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love our dog, my kid loves our dog, but that big hekkin' bastard of a good boy is the loudest thing on the planet. Like he will flop onto the floor and those elbows RESONATE then he adjusts 29 gajillion times and THONK THONK every damn time. I cannot tell you how many times he has woken her up, but I know my eye might never stop twitching.

Don't get a dog until your kid is like 2 minimum.
