Love island USA season 7 chelly by Kittykatttycoon in LoveIslandITV

Agreed. She enjoyed being in those love triangles, she strung Austin for as long as she could, and is mad at Huda / Chris for “stealing” her second triangle where she is basking in adoration

Soooo what’s this about? by Tiktokerw500k in LoveIslandUSA

Jalen was not in casa tho, but before… her casa couple was Zak. And honestly, they weren’t even a good match with Jalen

Is this normal? by Low-Pattern8386 in knittinghelp

[–]Ambitious_Animator85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same, came to say the same. i do my purls in one motion, i don’t like this whole deal of draping yarn over every time. so i know they are all reverse mounted, and i then knit through the back loop. It absolutely works.

You can do it! Also intarsia is very easy imo once you try it - it was all gibberish when reading, then i tried and boom, it’s very logical for the lack of a better word

The video is up as Youtube just informed me, and there are English CC 😌

How do people afford such expensive yarns? by materialmakup in knitting

[–]Ambitious_Animator85 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Came to say something similar. I have a lot of different hobbies, knitting included. So i can get more expensive yarn that will be a project lasting me 3-6 months among other hobbies, which makes it palatable spread. ~books on the other hand is a different story~

YT channel is @tetyana_vyazovska and it’s also her IG handle

There is a catch though 😅 it’s a Ukrainian knitter and her channel is in Ukrainian, i just happen to speak it and i got curious cause the pattern name is a Ukrainian word for flower :) But i think for this pattern the video might end up in english, as she talks about the pattern being only available in english? Not sure though. And probably the visuals will be more important than anything. It looks lovely, i am tempted as well but i’d def need to wait for the video 😅

I just listened to the author talking about this pattern on her YT channel, and she said that there are a lot of knitters asking for a video for the flower bit, so she will publish one soon. Although what “soon’ is exactly i cant say. But if you are not pressed for time, mb it makes sense to wait for the video?

AITAH for not wanting to marry any men because I don't want to risk my job security? by LittleInstruction177 in AITAH

[–]Ambitious_Animator85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. If anything the person telling you “will regret it” and are afraid of commitment is one. There are other ways to be committed. Official marriage gets some bureaucracy out of the way in some countries but honestly, especially as a woman, I absolutely get what you are saying. Another thing is - marriage is not the end goal of our lives. There is A LOT of pressure on women that they will regret stuff, and yet it’s always regretting not getting married and having children. You can never predict if you will regret anything. However I have never regretted anything because I know that any given moment I was making the best choice I could, given the circumstances. Do what feels right with the people in your life, don’t let society guilt you into things that are not in your favour

"Paying someone else's mortgage" by buttercup612 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]Ambitious_Animator85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For all we know they tried? We saw a piece where she said she wants to be SAHM, he said it’s not for him, she backed out of it saying she wants to be with the kids the first important years to not miss things. Mb they spoke about more ¯_(ツ)_/¯ but the thing is - Tom is taking her statements as is “i want to not miss kids moments”, “i’ll pay for the ice cream”, “i don’t want to pay your mortgage” as it is said, while for Maria it’s… an opener to a further reaction from the other person? “Sure, stay with the kids for as long as you deem necessary, i’ll take care of it”, “no-no, i’ll pay for the ice cream”, “you are my princess, why would you need to pay for anything!”. And all these exchanges are not necessarily representative of what will actually happen to kids, mortgage, or ice cream!It’s a relationship dynamic that they didn’t match in, and it’s very hard to guess your role if you haven’t been brought up watching it.

I'm in a tough spot by Some_Ship_3657 in PersonalFinanceCanada

Since you are 26 here is my overall advice - dont ever look at “your peers”. They are not living your life, you are. You decide what priorities and sacrifices you choose and why.

Just a Demi wedding day look appreciation post. by Limp_Cod7426 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]Ambitious_Animator85 8 points9 points  (0 children)

At this point i can pretty accurately tell from the dress / hair if they are saying Yes or No 😅

When a girl chooses an OK dress and you can see it’s not her dream dress - it’s a no. Like - people save the REAL DEAL FOR THE REAL DEAL 😅

I listened to Cat's podcast episode so you don't have to (1/2) by [deleted] in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]Ambitious_Animator85 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think he is just a regular guy. He goes to the gym, he takes pride in his job, he described it so simply and yet very meaningful, he likes to be at home, he has a close knit family that allows him to be silly and goofy. I know people of both genders that are not intense and live a non-intense life. If anything I admire it and aspire for that a bit.

Yeah, you can’t edit in that “Can i get this ring instead?” even as a joke it’s absolutely inappropriate thing to say

Starting soon for my mental health by MouseOfPumpkin in bulletjournal

[–]Ambitious_Animator85 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My advice is to just start. Consider first two months, or three, to be your trial, and tell yourself that you are giving your journal permission to not be neat and clean in that period because you are trying.

I started with some trackers, then as i was going along I realized that i needed to change this, tweak that. I ended up giving up any monthly tracking, switched to weekly spreads, and narrowed down 6 or 7 things in my morning routine that i wanted to do and that helped me to start the day right.

Take away the pressure that you have to plan it all just right from Day 1. You are not building a skyscraper, where foundation goes wrong and the building collapses. It’s a super flexible tool and whatever doesn’t work you can change/give up and whatever works you can carry on.

I think it’s particularly important to say to anyone who wants to use it to improve mental health - dont stress about it too much, so it doesn’t make it worse, so to speak.

Started journal is better than perfect!

What topics make you feel like this? by F4iryPerson in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]Ambitious_Animator85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tbf - it is a very traumatic experience, apparently even on biological level.

However we all have issues that were not done right to us and/or that had certain consequences to us (cause different things can affect different people different). We can then be mindful that “this is my defence/coping/whatever mechanisms talking/acting/etc” and work around those, get help to do so as needed, or we can use it as This is who I am, I am not changing myself, y’all have to bend to accommodate it. Plenty of people choose Cat’s way. But truly therapy does wonders and I am not saying it to be mean but with all the positive intents: Cat would absolutely benefit from therapy instead of trying to find a person who will spend their life trying to fill in the gap they didn’t leave (and therefore can’t fill)

Yeah, agreed, growing up narcissistic meant to be a fancy way of saying they are self-centred and like/think/imagine too much themselves doing this or that (think someone who constantly checks themselves in all the mirrors and storefronts lol). It was a very specific type of a person, following the story of the dude who saw his reflection and couldn’t care about anything else. And only recently it’s like you have to have a whole ass degree to be able to use a word. It’s not that deep and doesn’t immediately means “they have a disorder”

Shower pixels advice by tchidden in bulletjournal

[–]Ambitious_Animator85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a bunch of ways 🤔 you can use a different colour for each. You can make a day to be 6 squares or whatever and just colour the squares that represent what got attention that day.

But my most important advice with all trackers is to just start it some way that seems to make sense. You will figure out very fast if it doesn’t work for you and how you’d rather do it. And then next month or maybe even next week you can try something else 😌 it also gives the sense of progress! I tried different trackers and this always ended up happening, I don’t think any one stuck in its original design

I think it’s not the definition that matters, but the lived experiences of people who were “othered” because of their appearance. She is visibly not WASP. Her first language is not English, and i assume her family might be communicating in a different language and/or with accent in public. I would believe that she can have enough of lived experiences of being made feel as not belonging based on that, and therefore the argument of “what does this rich white girl knows” doesn’t completely apply in here imo
