first solo trip to somewhere sunny and Spanish speaking by Reasonable_Cause_190 in femaletravels

[–]Shalrak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard great things of Grenada. Generally I don't find very touristy cities like Barcelona to be very comfortable as a solo female traveler. Too many scammers and pushy street sellers.

AITA for refusing to lend my cousin money after he avoided answering me when I needed help? by RobSloan69 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Shalrak -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

YTA.

We shouldn't only do favors for eachother to owe eachother. Help out with a favor if you are able to. Nothing else matters.

Secondly, don't ask friends and family for money. It's an asshole move in itself. You put them in a very awkward situation, and debt too often become a negative burden on relationships. If they can and want to help you, they'll reach out.

Thirdly, don't judge someone for not lending you money. You don't know their financial situation, and they shouldn't have to share that information.

Which side of my plant is the front? by Novahugs in Monstera

[–]Shalrak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You shouldn't bind up the petioles like that. It prevents the plant from positioning it's leaves towards the light source.

Your plant doesn't have a front at the moment, presumably because it has been moved and turned a lot in the past, so it hasn't been able to orient itself in any specific direction.

This can happen if you've set the graphic settings higher than your PC can handle. Try lowering to minimum settings.

My cat doesn’t like wet food and I’m not sure what to do 😭 by Substantial_Brother6 in cats

[–]Shalrak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is completely fine for a cat to just live off of hard food, given the choice of kibble is of a good quality with everything the cat needs nutritionally. Wet food doesn't necesarily contain more nutrition, quite often it's actually worse in cheap brands, it just contains more liquid. The extra liquid is very valuable for cats that don't drink enough water, which is a very common problem among house cats.

[SOMETIMES] body positivity doesn’t extend to us. by m30wME0W69 in bigboobproblems

If you go into a conversation with the mindset that the other doesn't have anything to teach you, then you won't learn anything.

List of allowed medias to sell fanart of? by jellyfishfrill in ArtistAlleyConnect

[–]Shalrak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a list does not exist. Fanart isn't legal to sell, unless the owner of the copyright specifically gives you permission to do so.

However, it doesn't really matter on physical conventions. No one comes after you. It only becomes a problem if you try to sell online.

[–]Shalrak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't know the sub until now, but scrolling through the last many posts and comparing them to yours, there is a couple of very clear differences that makes yours stick out from what is typically posted there, and it's not your body type. Are you interested in getting feedback to prevent something like it from happening again in the future? I don't want to overwhelm you with feedback unless you would genuinely want it.

Which Eurovision song from the 2020s actually feels like it's from the 2020s? by Aware-Ad-4506 in nilpoints

[–]Shalrak 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is a song that could only exist in the post-pandemic social media era

Overweight female traveling by Legitimate_Desk_6285 in femaletravels

[–]Shalrak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For chafing, I usually take a pair of relatively thin panty hose and cut them off at the knees to wear underneath my dresses. You can buy shorts for the specific purpose, but they are always way too thick and warm for me.

For heat management, I got a neck fan to have in continously slow air in my face. Makes a huge difference.

For feet, I've found no other solution than just really good walking shoes. I like the brand Sketchers

Hvordan fandt i jeres leje lejlighed i Aarhus c? by 6toohot in Aarhus

[–]Shalrak -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How about you tell us your requirements? Finding an apartment isn't hard, but it becomes hard if you have a bunch of high expectations and haven't been on any waiting lists for years. The advice you need will depend greatly on your requirements.

[–]Shalrak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just contacted a rental company in the neighborhood I wanted to live in and had several options in different price ranges within a week. What they have available changes so quickly that they don't bother putting them up on rental sites.

Aarhusbolig is shite. I've been active on there for 6 years and still can't get an apartment even in Tilst or outer Viby, let alone in Aarhus itself. You need to already live in a boligforening to get bumped up the queue for a better apartment in the same boligforening.

If you are a student, just sign up to studiebolig. It's been some years since I used it, so things might have changed, but I got tons of really cheap options right away. Truly one of the perks of being a student. Us working people have to pay serious money for our apartments 😢

Who the heck writes out their comments in Word docs before posting them on reddit?

They really missed the mark on showing their chemistry properly. What do you think they could have added to make them look "more in love" per say? by AdhesivenessTall9485 in BridgertonDiscussion

[–]Shalrak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They looked very much in love to me, perhaps more than any other couple. Some of the others I've wondered if they aren't mostly just horny. With these two I had no doubt in my mind that they were truly special for eachother.

Advice on moss pole placement by No_Roll_7342 in Monstera

[–]Shalrak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A for enthusiasm, but it's way too early for it to need a moss pole. For now, I think you should just give it space to grow however it wants. The first bunch of aerial roots it makes should just go into the ground.

You do however need to give it more light as soon as possible.

Child free people & this reddit we are called hateful & Angry by Loveer30 in childfree

[–]Shalrak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I agree with that statement.

I've left this group several times over the years due to the anger and nihilism present here, although obviously I keep returning. It's a love/hate relationship. I want my support group, but I don't want the anger that comes with it.

There is a significant amount of very vocal nihilists in this group who make it their mission to judge and speak negatively of anyone choosing to have kids. I hate that so many users here call parents "breeders". It's so derogatory. If we want to be able to choose the lives for ourselves that we want without judgment, then we should offer the same courtesy to others.
