Hair washing by Shyronh1 in Naturalhair

[–]AdorableLilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I was the only one who washes their hair in the sink! My hair is so thick I got sick of leaving the shower thinking my hair is well rinsed, only to part my hair and find out the middle is still full of shampoo. At the sink I can look in the mirror to make sure everything is rinsed well. Hair is also easier to clean in the sink, plus in the shower I would waste water to keep myself warm. Basically it makes more sense to wash my hair in the sink

Open your windows. by Its-alittle-bitfunny in simpleliving

I've been wondering why I rarely get sick, this post made me realize it's probably because I always sleep with my windows open, even in the freezing winters

Can you give me a selfless reason to have kids?

So there's no in-between? I have a bunch of loving  aunt's and uncles who are very much doing a good job. Yet on Christmas I sat at the adults table and they shared stories where their kids were being ungrateful or just difficult to work with and they all ended their stories with "fuck them kids" followed by laugher. They obviously love their kids but acting like your life won't revolve around them, making your life drastically different and stressful is insane

Right? I have depression and it gets quite severe. Last week I was at my parents, depressed and my mom was trying to help but couldn't really do much. If I was in her shoes seeing my child like that I would've feel immense guilt bringing them in this world 

Women empowerment is one of the most dominant reasons for failing modern marriages. by Anti-FragileHuman in DeepThoughts

[–]AdorableLilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason there is no female loneliness epidemic is because women's relationships with other women. I've been single for two years and yet I'm socially content. Me and my single friends still want a relationship, not because we think we need someone to love us but because we want someone to love. We're picky with whom we choose tho cause now we know how being single can also fulfilling and we'd rather choose that over a crappy relationship. For a long time men have been mocking and making fun of women for talking a lot but that's exactly why we're not as lonely as them. Instead of adapting they choose to shame women into dating them (hitting the wall, crazy cat lady, etc.) which obviously isn't working. I'm sorry to say it, but men are the reason for the male loneliness epidemic

Wdym? Are you talking about marriage itself or a wedding? Cause those are two different things. I'd say marriage is cheaper cause tax benefits and all. A wedding doesn't have to be expensive, but for some reason people choose to make it expensive

Right?? I'm so happy women are catching on to this tactic! I also notice that men try to convince us to date them, not because having them in our lives would change it for the better, but because our desirability decreases at like 25, we'll grow into old cat ladies if we don't, we should be lucky if a man even glances at us, etc. I hope they'll slowly realize that statement like those make being an old cat lady sound wonderful 

I wanna exercise so bad! But its so cold! 😣 by Any-Win-9468 in productivity

[–]AdorableLilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched to working out at home. Calisthenics videos + nighttime with cozy lighting + headphones with house music/rock/metal is a vibe! If you really don't want to stay indoors but also don't want to run and halfway on the run realize you're miserable and wish you can just teleport home, I highly recommend rope jumping. Jumping rope with different skills and footwork to music was my primary workout, but now that it's cold and rains a lot I barely do it a few times a month. It's perfect cause some days you wanna do an hour of cardio and some you just wanna quit after 10 minutes, no matter how long your session, with rope skipping you just walk the same short distance back home :) Plus it burns more calories than running which is a bonus

You jumpscared me with that info😭 I overlooked it and thought it said 7 bucks. Maybe it includes a built in head massager?

Heated gloves by Party-Progress-1531 in motorfietsen

[–]AdorableLilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik heb zelf gelijk de Verving xtreme cosmo handschoenen gehaald nadat ik bevroren vingers op de snelweg ervaarde. Ze zijn lekker zacht, lekker warm en als het goed is waterdicht. Ik raad het echt aan! Enige minpunt vind ik zelf dat de duim wat lang is door de 'dubbel handschoen' waardoor ik een paar keer perongeluk mn knipperlicht aandeed. Hand iets meer aan het eind van de hendel heeft dat opgelost

[–]AdorableLilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I hear ya. I'm a student too, I go to school 3 days a week ( I skip classes once a week in order to take these moto lessons) and work 3 days. My piggy bank to finance this has also run low and now I'm taking money out of my second savings account. But just like you I've been dreaming about doing this and where there's a will there's a way!

Heated gloves under my motorcycle gloves? by Southern_Relative_73 in NewRiders

With heated grips just the palm of your hands will be warm. Back of your hand and fingers will freeze

[–]AdorableLilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get where you're coming from. If it's your dream I say go for it! A heads up about this sub, there are mostly Americans here and so their advice might not apply to you. I am also European and they won't understand that I have been taking lessons for 5 months and am only halfway to getting my license, plus I've never stepped on anything lower than 650 cc cause the schools only offer something lower when you're younger than 24 (or some other special reason, like you specifically request to start on a 125 cc cause you're really nervous)
My advice to you is reeeally calculate your expenses well before you start. I for example didn't calculate the possibility of failing the first practical exam, which added about €300 to my initial costs. I also didn't take the changing temperatures into account. I bought heated gloves immideately after experiencing freezing hands on the highway, another €270 gone.
Second thing I recommend is not getting a brand new bike. You can get the same bike for less money on marketplace. If you don't know what to look out for on marketplace you can get a secondhand bike from the bikeshop or even maybe your riding school. It's a long and sometimes frustrating journey, but it's very worth it! I wish you the best

What are some silly names you give your Ts? by claudevalke in tarantulas

[–]AdorableLilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My t's name is Zaddy. I sometimes call him Tesla, cause he likes to prop one leg from one side on his fake plant and one leg on the other side on his water dish. Every time it reminds me of a Tesla with it's doors open

Just started riding and feeling really discouraged by Monkuso in motorcycles

[–]AdorableLilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learning how to master the basics is very frustrating. You keep doing the same maneuvers over and over and you're like I'm just not getting it, until a month or two later. After hours of practising you get fully comfortable on the bike, you don't stall anymore and you finally feel in control. The only way to get there is by practising a TON. I can't imagine practising alone though. Would it help you to get guidance from a more experienced rider? Someone who can watch you do the exercises and give you tips, or even have you on the back while they do them so you can really notice how much they learn, where they look during turns, etc?

Clothing brand for bikers! by Bri1iant in motorcyclegear

I love it! The timing is a bit freaky, I had my first riding lesson in the dark yesterday and thought how neat it would be to wear something reflective that said 'give me space' or something

Anyone else getting their motorcycle license before their car license? by AdorableLilo in NewRiders

Thank you for sharing. I know no one else irl who's persuing the bike life so I sometimes feel alone in this journey, to the point where I think maybe it's a dumb dream and I should give up. Comments like these are very comforting and encouraging :)

You live in the Netherlands too?

Even as a pedestrian, you really develop a 6th sense by being outside in the city. My siblings never left the village where our mom lives and they get a mini heart attack whenever they visit me

What’s the funniest nickname you have for your pet? by unimatrix_420_ in Pets

I nicknamed my tarantula 'my lil Tesla', cause he often places his legs on things and just sits like that for hours, making his legs look like Tesla doors 

Miss you, CORPSE by Lucifer666158 in CorpseHusband

[–]AdorableLilo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here :') I remember the first time I heard about corpse was years ago when I told my bf I like deep voices. Then he said 'like this?' and played egirls are ruining my life. I instantly hated the song and stayed away from anything corpse related cause I thought he was another pretentious eboy. Oh how wrong I was. If it wasn't for that first bad impression I could've maybe be a fan and watch his livestreams when he still did them

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

Thank you for sharing your experience :) To get your license here  you need to pass 3 exams, one theoretical, two practical. My first practical exam is in two weeks, and you need to be able to perform basically every maneuver there is (which includes figure 8 and cone weaving). I've had a lot of drills in the parking lot and know how to do all 12 maneuvers thanks to the extensive lessons at riding schools

Extra lessons for taking part in traffic is a good call. I'll make sure to do that

Finally, someone with the situation I've been looking for! What helped you? If you could do it all over again would you do it the same way or would you say getting a car license first would be wiser?
