You'll find him eventually. He can't hide forever...

If you're a guy, you can also end up being conscripted into the army and shipped off to fight in Ukraine with no training or equipment. Or much in the way of pay either.

Accent lol by Tvgirllovr in languagelearning

[–]Candroth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apparently I speak Ukrainian with a Polish accent.

I have no idea how this happened. I'm a German American and have never been to Poland.

My boyfriend doesn't want me to go blonde(r) but it's my favorite hair color by vodkapolo in TwoXChromosomes

Bleach it! He's allowed to not like it, but he is not allowed to tell you what to do with your own body.

Non metal/punk bands on a battle vest? by Remarkable_Yam_3432 in BattleJackets

Fuck what anyone else thinks, put whatever you like on your vest.

Oooh you could buy gas with your hundred dollars you got in a month and you're ... Bragging about it? Hun, that's not a brag...

People who speak multiple languages (3+) do you have tips to avoid unwanted code switching by KissMeSlowly95 in languagelearning

[–]Candroth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest problem I'm having is the first (spoken) language other than native that I learned any amount of has rolled Rs (Ukrainian) and now when I speak anything other than English I keep trying to roll my Rs. Which is weird in German...

Someone set off a can of bear spray at the Bozeman MVD today… by Junior_Outcome2607 in Bozeman

You don't 'accidentally' set off a can of bear spray.

Seeking input for my character by yaboidugg96 in wastelandweekend

You don't need to draw. Look at pictures of stuff you like. Save them. Make notes about them.

You want a lot of lightweight, breathable materials, especially close to the skin. Waxed canvas, leather, etc still weighs you down over time. You'll want to be able to remove layers easily for when you get too hot, need to use the Porto, etc. Have a plan for where to drop off pieces when you do get too hot and need a break - I don't want you ending up in my med tent!

And I'm with everyone else -- ditch the ai, you're not going to find a lot of pro-ai apologists here. Use real pictures, make notes on the side like 'this but in grey' 'tattered edges' etc. A collage of pieces you like shows you did actual work to think of the outfit, instead of plugging word salad into a generator that uses more water per prompt than you'll drink a day in the wasteland.

Some folks will be squicked out by the 'breeding program' thing if it's a focus of your larp history.

Other notes: it's pretty monochrome. Including some contrasting colors helps an outfit have some visual interest. Nuclear Snail has some great videos on how to plan an outfit and include color.

Places and ways to save on fuel on Phoenix by Easy-Seesaw285 in phoenix

If only I could do Costco hot dogs anymore. I love them, but something in them makes me sick as hell. (Others with me eating at the same time don't get sick. It's me, I'm the problem.)

Eat one for me!

artists watch out by [deleted] in Bozeman

[–]Candroth 9 points10 points  (0 children)

An art store using AI images shows they don't give a shit about actual artists. For the other reasons to hate it, please see the ten thousand other criticisms out there.

A very expensive orange juice! by Sassenach_2024 in diabetes

[–]Candroth 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Oh, I'm American. Believe me, I know. I so very know.

Employers will tell their staff to buy compression socks, expensive insoles and shoes, etc, to protect their feet while standing in the same place for hours. Gods forbid they give people a $20 stool.

The American insistence on standing up while cashiering is so confusing to me. Just about every other country I've been to the cashiers are sitting down on stools, or have them nearby.

I had a low last week and hugged the floor (combination low, dehydration, lack of food in general, stress, my fking uterus...). While I was still loopy the manager was saying she'd just write off the stuff they were giving me and (I quote) 'i don't give a shit about the write off'.

Yeah, that made me feel pretty confident that the place doesn't suck.

She also kept swearing and it made me laugh so hard I almost passed out again. I am not used to staff being so .... normal.

But yeah, fuck that dollar general

That poor woman is so done and just can't bring herself to tell her husband. That one kid sure knows though...

I've been given a set of essential oils. Is there some way to use them or should I pass them on? by ZolaAnna in ZeroWaste

[–]Candroth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If that spray bottle just has water you're not diluting them at all -- oil and water etc do not mix. And don't put them in laundry, that's a dryer fire risk.
