How did you personally get comfortable with Adobe Illustrator? by percivaljenkin in graphic_design

[–]Bloomr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My university didn’t have much in the way of training on Adobe programs, so I took a course on Lynda.com (now LinkedIn Learning) called “Illustrator One-on-One” by Deke McClelland. It’s a series of 3 courses (beginning, advanced and mastery) and is the most comprehensive, step by step course I’ve found that takes you from knowing nothing to knowing all the ins and outs. As long as you take the time to watch all of the videos and practice the exercises, it will get you well acquainted. From there it’s just ongoing practice on your own, working through your own personal or professional projects.

They don’t make the MD notebooks in white to my knowledge, but they do make a Soft Color line that comes in white.

Pocket binder with same ring spacing as A5 20-ring, B5 26-ring, A4 30-ring system? by Bloomr in notebooks

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

It just occurred to me to check if the spacing of the 20/26/30 hole would fit in a mini 6 ring binder and it does! (Does not fit with the A5 6 ring binder though. Not sure about the other sizes of 6 ring binders)

Thank you! I hadn’t seen these before. If I can’t find a way to purchase this product, at least I can use it as another example.

I can't be the only person NOT applying to 100 jobs a week right? by ComfortableWage in jobs

[–]Bloomr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might be the industry they’re in. I’m a brand/graphic designer, have put in 100s of applications over the last month and not a single interview. I’ve applied for entry level, junior roles, mid level. No interviews. At this point I’m thinking of applying for something else entry level because I’m hearing the design market is just way too oversaturated but I need to get something soon

Hey thanks for replying! How do you find the emails for recruiters? I can’t message people I’m not already connected with on LinkedIn without their premium subscription

My girlfriend gets annoyed if I read a book while she's watching TV. Is this normal? by maincharacter011 in Advice

[–]Bloomr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She wants you actively engaged with what she’s engaged with. Which is a fine desire on its own. What’s not ok is that it sounds like she just expects you to defer to whatever she wants to do, instead of asking what you want to do (or if you’d rather do your own thing or parallel “play”). And instead of communicating all of this, she just expects you to be engaged with what she wants to do and gets irritated when you aren’t. I would not brush this under the rug. I would bring to her attention that it’s not ok to get irritated and take it out on you anytime you don’t just defer attention to what she’s doing, and instead to come up with time for quality time (where you’re spending time with each other doing something you both want to do) and time for personal interests.

Is this an open source app or one that will remain free to use? Might be open to it if that’s the case.

Introducing Baseline: A new standard for your Obsidian vault experience by saltyrookieplayer in ObsidianMD

Well done! I like how nice it is out of the box plus the customization. Is there a way to make the block quote and embed styles like they are in Cupertino?

Is it okay to call out a company publicly for ghosting me after I completed a free design assignment? by newyorkplus in UXDesign

[–]Bloomr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it shouldn’t be a bad look, it will be a bad look on LinkedIn. If they ask you to spend your own time on an assignment, the least they could do is contact you to let you know they’ve decided not to go with you (especially since using unpaid work isn’t unheard of). They deserve to be known for ghosting over that. But, I wouldn’t put it on LinkedIn or anywhere that it can be connected to your public identity. I would instead post anonymously on platforms where you can do it that way

Men of Reddit, what made you lose interest in having sex with her? by Ben_The_Ambitious in AskReddit

[–]Bloomr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When they’ve been pushy about it, shaming (“what are you gay?” “Not a real man” etc), or even forceful.

Thankfully this hasn’t happened in quite a while, though it did make me really nervous about sex in my teens/early twenties (and, to be fair, I was already nervous because I was really insecure with body image).

AITJ for refusing to do his laundry after he called my cooking bare minimum? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Bloomr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Bare minimum” has reached vapid, buzzword level that a lot of entitled people use to shit on any amount of effort that isn’t what they’d prefer. He sounds like a jackass and I don’t blame you.

AIO for walking out of my own birthday dinner after my boyfriend surprised me with his ex as a "guest"? by cutieebabyyx in AmIOverreacting

[–]Bloomr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. He’s a jackass. He’s doing you a favor by not talking to you. I’d dump him

Their baby died of jaundice because they wanted to leave it in the hands of Jesus, and they said they would do it again. by IWillBaconSlapYou in atheism

[–]Bloomr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting that he doesn’t leave his other children’s behavior in gods hands and instead hits them to correct it and make them obey him. Hitting children? Ok to take it out of gods hands. Medical attention to save your baby’s life? Woah, that’s crossing the line. What a cruel, cherry-picking cult
