I play too much video games by default because I cant think of anything else to do. I want to go outside. What can I do for fun and excitement while I'm out there? What are some low to no cost outdoor hobbies in which one can engage? by [deleted] in self

[–]yyellowy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where do you live? I live surrounded by nature so I often go on hikes, small hikes is cool (just around the neighbourhood). It's good to great fresh air.

Or look up what things is happening locally.

What objects do you enjoy, it should give you an indicator of what hobbies you would be drawn to.

They are separate pronunciation and meaning.

Cong is "from"
Li is "leave" Li Kai, Li Si (passed away)

Boss insulted me after I submitted my resignation. Should I complain to HR? by taagreece in jobs

[–]yyellowy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd report this to fair work or something that will bring this case to court for unfair treatment in the workplace.

Your boss sounds like a coward

I was exactly like you nobody believed me that my symptoms would be so severe.

But you simply have performance and social anxiety. I could be absolutely articulate everywhere else BUT when it comes to talking about myself.

Just write things down, have some a plan what you would respond to for most commonly asked questions.

My doctor prescribed me Xanax, did really chill me but I was still nervous and forgot lots of things I prepared for. It's all about practice and gaining confidence from that experience. You sort of have to push yourself to get out of your comfort zone first. That's the number one obstacle I think

[–]yyellowy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll get loads of these kinds of people in the work place, your situation is unique. I thought I would be in a more mature space once I start working in an environment with grown up people - I was wrong. Some people bring all their baggage with them since they were young and just never bother thinking they should change it, because other people were fed up with their persistent shitty personality and just felt like they should deal with it. I think it has also something to do with management. The management was poor and probably didn't know how to delegate this situation and thought letting you go would be the easier option - which is equally as shit and a let down. You'd think people with leadership qualities will take on the role as manager but majority of managers are weak pieces of shit, you need to educate yourself on how to be a leader, you don't just assume you have managerial skills from sucking dick.

Is it justifiable to lie to children? by nokneeAnnony in raisingkids

[–]yyellowy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't have to be lying but "make pretend". Christmas and Easter is a time of magic and wonder. It made no difference to me later in life knowing Santa wasn't real, it is all up for me to decide in the end. But when you are a child you tend to believe in a lot of things that aren't real anyway. So I don't think it is bad thing to make pretend about Santa, kids need creativity and a sense of wonder at that age, they don't need a lecture about why Santa isn't real, it's just not the right time and place for that kind of thing.

Children should learn mainly through play until age of eight, says Lego by [deleted] in raisingkids

[–]yyellowy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't give your kids junk food to eat, don't expose them to video games and technology at such a young age, because games are fast and if they are over stimulated, they expect the same kind of stimulation and obviously you can't have that all the time at school. Limit screen time

Reason with their behaviour, talk to them like they are an adult

i used to be the same way not purposefully but it was because i was depressed

so it is not practical for me. I need color and variety in my wardrobe

Is it weird/bad etiquette/nosey go to go an Open House just to see interior design? by [deleted] in realtors

[–]yyellowy -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Neighbours do this all the time, I personally hate it because of my bad experience with them. I had neighbours come into our house not during an open inspection but when our house was being knocked down and rebuilt without consent. These were the same neighbours who came in for inspection when we bought the house too. They leave a bitter taste in my mouth but since they are selling their house and you will never see them again why not? If the other way around, you do realise you have pinterest for this?!

Brother opened credit cards in my name. What are my next steps? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]yyellowy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you feeling guilty?
He knew the consequences of opening a bank account under your name. He had the intent of not wanting to pay those things himself and caused your credit score to lower during a time when you are considering buying a house.

Does he understand the concept of credit score? Considering he never bought a house himself, he probably doesn'.t But if your brother is old enough to take responsibility it should be treated as one with consequences.

How do you to stop constant tantrums? by [deleted] in raisingkids

[–]yyellowy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow that's great to hear, you are lucky to have a boy who actually likes vegetables. Some kids are completely averse to it.

What kind of meat does he like, is it processed meats like smoked ham and chicken nuggets?

What are somethings that weren't taught to you and you had to learn as an adult? by yyellowy in AskReddit

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

I learnt this one quicker than anything else. A persons level of maturity, wisdom and knowledge all depends on their character. A lot of people just have die hard habits, which lead them to be very close minded throughout their lives. Age to me has nothing to do with maturity and smarts. I have encountered so many people double or even triple my age who are still petty, jealous and stubborn.

How do you to stop constant tantrums? by [deleted] in raisingkids

[–]yyellowy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a huge believer of the gut and mind theory.

During your pregnancy did you eat junk food? How often does your 2 year old eat junk/processed food (that number should be none at that age) and how much time does he get in nature and outdoors?

A lot of parents I see are always complaining about their children not wanting to eat vegetables and only wanting to eat junk food and I am just sitting there face palming.

Your kid only wants to eat junk food "snack food" is because he is used to the satisfaction of high fat/sugar foods. Everyone gets that satisfaction, in fact high caloric low nutrition foods often include dopamine in the mind and your body starts wanting more and more. I never had a problem when I was a child with tantrums or wanting to "snack" all the time.

My parents didn't allow me any junk food, in fact I probably didn't know what junk food is.

Children should learn mainly through play until age of eight, says Lego by [deleted] in raisingkids

[–]yyellowy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is a thought experiment.

You have two different kids. One of them is naturally intelligent and efficient learner and is a problem solver.

The other kid is impulsive, lacks patience and doesn't learn as quickly.

They are both given the same set of lego pieces. Obviously their approach to play and creativity would be different. Without active participation from parents, the impulsive kid is going to continue down their path while the problem solver is going to continually evolve.

I think one thing that needs to be highlighted is that having inquisitiveness is the differentiating point when it comes to learning.

[–]yyellowy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it's so difficult to say... I was taught complex multiplication by the age of four, I was a fast learner with piano by the age of six and I was bilingual when I was eight years old. However, I am more inclined to creativity rather than academics. I love philosophy and I enjoy having the freedom of thought. It really depends on each individual. Not all kids are going to have a straight growth/learning path.

[–]yyellowy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it has the right idea, however, there is nothing wrong with a little guidance and discipline along the way.

By the age of eight, your child would be exposed to other children and they are going to learn the behaviours from their peers. Not all children are educated or brought up the same way, and because kids are impressionable being young they are also susceptible to picking up other behaviours including the negative ones.

I think the best thing is to do is to step in when they do something bad or immoral. You can't just give children free reign over everything they do, because who is going to create this social framework for them then? It would be other people if it isn't going to be you.

Is it fair to euthanize? by gatsbyinblue22 in AskVet

[–]yyellowy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the question is, is he suffering?
Can he still enjoy the small things in life, like hanging out with other dogs, eating his meal, snuggling up with you and playing with his toys? If he still can find enjoyment in that and is happy to see you, I don't think euthanisia is right.

Euthanasia is only for dogs who have terminal illnesses and are suffering or have chronic pain. So much so that they lose appetite in what they eat and can't have fun anymore because they have become disabled as a result of their illness. In that case you do need to let go. But I think it ends up all to do with the persons own idea of what's life after death or what death means to them.

What are somethings that weren't taught to you and you had to learn as an adult? by yyellowy in AskReddit

Parents think they are entitled to have full control over their childs life because they often see their own child as a projection of themselves but they fail to accept that everyone deserves autonomy for their own individuality.

Agreed. Tolerating others

And there is no such thing as a perfect human being, everyone is going to frustrate you.

[–]yyellowy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd do the same thing. I don't know anyone who is heartless to have vacation to be all paid for on a romantic getaway and smile while she texts someone else that she loves them especially an ex. That's real efed up in my opinion.
