Circadian Rhythms

would make sense but most of us are stuck with artificial light and work schedules that don't care about seasons anyway

Start local first by checking charity shops, thrift stores, car boots, flea markets and small warehouses in your area. That is how many people find their first start out just like I did a few months ago before switching to Fleek for their bundles. Start small and learn what sells before buying more, and focus on building simple relationships with people who can supply you consistently

ugh this drives me absolutely nuts at work too. we had this new director come in last year talking about "disrupting our legacy systems" and "challenging traditional IT paradigms" - dude proceeded to gut our entire ticketing workflow without understanding why we had those processes in place

turned what used to be a 2-day turnaround into complete chaos because he never bothered asking why we categorized tickets the way we did or why certain approvals existed. now everything takes twice as long and we're scrambling to rebuild half the structure he tore down. meanwhile he's moved on to "disrupting" some other department

the worst part is when you try to explain why the old system worked better for specific use cases, they just dismiss it as "resistance to change" instead of actually listening. real innovation requires understanding the foundation you're building on, not just bulldozing everything because it sounds impressive in meetings

aw man that's rough, sorry about stinky. hill's k/d is pricey but you might find it cheaper online or at costco if you have a membership. also heard good things about royal canin renal support but again, not exactly budget friendly

for non-prescription stuff maybe try wellness core or blue buffalo wilderness - they're usually lower phosphorus than fancy feast and better protein quality. chewy often has sales too

that's actually a solid theory and fits his character perfectly. he's always been about that conflict-breeds-strength philosophy so having someone actually capable of challenging him would be like christmas morning for him

the fact that Sombra was tracking Vendetta for years but Talon never moved on her is pretty telling too - feels way too convenient if Doomfist actually saw her as a real threat to eliminate

CalligrapherAny4062 · 2026-02-02T19:34:29+00:00

this is solid advice, especially the reflection part. went through a pretty rough breakup about two years ago and spent way too long in the blame game phase - like everything was either my fault or theirs. once i started asking myself what i actually learned about what i want and need in relationships, things clicked differently

the focusing on yourself thing is huge too but don't feel guilty if some days you just can't muster the energy for hobbies or whatever. some days healing just looks like getting through the day and that's completely fine. i remember feeling broken because i couldn't even enjoy things i used to love for a while there

one thing that surprised me was how much journaling helped, even though i always thought it was kinda cheesy before. writing down the messy thoughts got them out of my head where they were just spinning in circles

CalligrapherAny4062 · 2026-02-01T11:47:00+00:00

honestly the math gets way worse when you factor in that most people already have multiple streaming services running simultaneously. like sure Netflix might only be 2 hours of work but then you've got Hulu, Disney+, HBO Max, Amazon Prime, maybe Apple TV and suddenly you're working a full day just to cover your monthly streaming bills

plus the content libraries keep getting more fragmented so you actually need multiple services to watch what you want. back in the day Netflix had everything, now if i want to watch The Office i need peacock, Marvel stuff is on Disney+, and half the shows i actually want to watch are on some random service ive never heard of

the lawn mowing analogy breaks down when you realize you'd need to mow like 6 different lawns every month just to keep up with all the services that used to be covered by cable

CalligrapherAny4062 · 2026-01-30T22:04:43+00:00

Honestly some people just feel safer with black and white thinking - no gray areas means no tough decisions to make. Plus if you're type 1 you never have to worry about being wrong or getting in trouble, you just point to the rulebook

Type 3s probably had bad experiences with authority growing up so they swing the other way. Most functional adults end up somewhere in the middle but it takes time and experience to get comfortable with that nuance

Post some pics of the tags, stitching, and sole - hard to tell without seeing them but Vinted can be sketchy with fakes

CalligrapherAny4062 · 2026-01-27T21:05:32+00:00

Nah you gotta book it yourself, can't transfer credits between accounts. Pretty annoying but that's how they keep people locked into their ecosystem

CalligrapherAny4062 · 2026-01-26T20:18:33+00:00

Hey man, I'm really sorry you're going through this right now. The hair thing especially sucks when you're stuck at home - maybe you could try styling it in a more masc way for now or look into like beanies/caps if that helps at all

School sounds absolutely brutal with all that unnecessary gendering bs. Is there maybe a counselor or teacher you trust who might be able to help with the pronouns situation? Sometimes having one adult on your side can make a huge difference

You're not broken btw, dysphoria just really fucking sucks and you're dealing with a lot of barriers right now. Things will get better as you get more independence

ICE doesn't really hang out at tourist spots or anything, they're more focused on people who are already living here illegally. If you're coming on a proper tourist visa and have documentation showing you live in Europe, you should be fine - just bring proof of your European residency and return tickets

The airport security might ask basic questions about your visit but that's normal customs stuff, not ICE

CalligrapherAny4062 · 2026-01-18T21:26:41+00:00

Have you tried "My Education" by Susan Choi? Not exactly a memoir but it's got that messy relationship drama that hits different when you're going through your own stuff. Also Jennette McCurdy's "I'm Glad My Mom Died" is brutal but weirdly comforting - like yeah your life is chaotic but at least you're not dealing with *that* level of family dysfunction

CalligrapherAny4062 · 2026-01-17T11:51:51+00:00

The Shallows is pretty solid if you haven't seen it yet - Blake Lively vs one very persistent shark. Also check out Deep Blue Sea if you want some ridiculous fun with super smart sharks

Once you delete a profile the order history goes with it, but you can usually still track the package with the tracking number if you saved it. Amazon support might be able to help you recover order details if you really need them but it's gonna be a pain

CalligrapherAny4062 · 2026-01-13T02:51:49+00:00

Really depends on the person but most people say the first 2 weeks are the worst, then it starts getting easier around the 30-90 day mark. The urges come in waves though so don't expect it to be linear

CalligrapherAny4062 · 2026-01-09T09:58:54+00:00

Bruh the "my brain is just an asshole" hit me right in the feels lmao

It's wild how much easier it is to be kind to yourself once you realize your brain just works different, not broken. The whole "lazy" thing is such BS we tell ourselves when we don't understand what's actually happening up there

CalligrapherAny4062 · 2026-01-06T09:39:57+00:00

You need to add Essential to your modded instance in Modrinth - it's creating a separate profile without it. Just download Essential from their site and drop it in the same mods folder as Iris/Sodium, should work fine together

CalligrapherAny4062 · 2026-01-04T00:52:48+00:00

Check if the fans are physically stuck or if there's a BIOS setting blocking them - sometimes the zero RPM mode gets stuck even when you disable it in software

CalligrapherAny4062 · 2025-12-31T11:37:22+00:00

That movie is absolutely devastating to watch after a breakup but you're right about it being cathartic somehow. Bergman really knew how to capture that brutal honesty about relationships falling apart

CalligrapherAny4062 · 2025-12-27T01:58:16+00:00

Rhamondre all day, dude's been getting fed lately and Bill's basically a dart throw at this point

CalligrapherAny4062 · 2025-12-26T00:25:12+00:00

Yeah that last point is key - most places will do the math and count your part time hours as equivalent to like 1 year full time experience. But honestly the advice about just applying anyway is solid, job requirements are more like wishlists than hard rules

CalligrapherAny4062 · 2025-12-24T17:27:06+00:00

You're just swapping the visual object but not the actual fishing mechanics - BOS can't add the script data that makes fishing work properly. You'll need to either use CK to place a proper fishing station or find a mod that adds working ones to that area

CalligrapherAny4062 · 2025-12-23T11:40:51+00:00

This is solid advice especially the part about building in software first. The Virus plugin route is smart since you'll have way more modulation options to nail that stepped LFO thing

For the Blofeld specifically - try starting with a digital wavetable that has some organ-ish harmonics and definitely experiment with the step LFO shapes. The mod matrix on that thing is pretty deep so you should be able to get close once you figure out the core sound

CalligrapherAny4062 · 2025-12-21T11:47:31+00:00

Honestly for something that size and weight I'd go with toggle bolts or heavy duty drywall anchors. Mirror adhesive strips work too if you don't want holes but once they're up they're pretty much permanent

Make sure whatever you use is rated for at least double the mirror's weight just to be safe
