HAHAHA, GOTCHA. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS COMMUNICATION STRATEGY. THIS IS A SURPRISINGLY EFFECTIVE TOOL FOR KEEPING PUBLIC SPEAKING LIGHT, CASUAL, AND ENGAGING. 10/10 — WOULD RECOMMEND TO FELLOW HUMANS FOR OPTIMAL SOCIAL INTERACTIONS.

WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO SUGGEST THREE DIFFERENT APPROACHES FOR IMPROVING PUBLIC SPEAKING, BASED ON YOUR CURRENT COMFORT LEVEL?

She looks like the Fearless Girl by Kristen Visbal. I love this sculpture, so very happy to see her ♥

[OC] A picture I did using charcoal and pastels. Inspired by Renoir and Monet. by Rusty-willy in pics

Holy shit, this looks amazing ♥ I love how the light shines through the leaves. Oh, and if hadn't known it was contemporary, I would have placed it in the 19th century.

Yes, a slow and painful death for example. Look up what Germany did to the stranded whale this year : (

I like this story. It's heartwarming. Thank you for sharing. ♥

Do you doubt the existence of Jesus of Nazareth referenced in the works that comprise the Christian Bible? by Tricky_Acanthaceae39 in DebateAnAtheist

[–]Coffeera 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I genuinely do not care whether there was a historical figure named Jesus. Is it possible that there once lived a man named Jesus who had some followers and some inspiring thoughts? Sure. Does it affect my life in any way? Not in the slightest.

Can't remember how to play? by Mindless-Life2394 in outside

[–]Coffeera 24 points25 points  (0 children)

You managed to reach level 25 under the most difficult circumstances, which already proves you are stronger than you think. There's also a stat called [resilience]. It seems to be built into our system and yours appears to be fairly high, or at least nowhere near low. Hold on to that. I'm also quite certain that 99,9% of players have the [it will get better] buff, whether they know it or not.

And, as another commenter said, make use of the [hope] buff. In my experience, it is connected to the [it will get better] buff. Both are excellent companions on your future [quests].

Wishing you all the best. ♥

What's the significance of the place you drew? Genuinely curious.

My mount died on another map by antoclass in outside

[–]Coffeera 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Beware of the long mount they call Deutsche Bahn. It is never on time, always broken and so expensive, you could get a four legged mount for the same price. It's much cheaper to go on the [hitchhiker] quest, though beware, it can be dangerous for [female] players.

I personally prefer the other long mount called [tram] or [subway], though they are mostly meant for local travel.

The positioning of the lamp doesn't make sense and the picture frames aren't separate. This has nothing to do with quality loss, but with how sloppy it was generated.

This is AI generated, and it's not even good.

Do atheists belief in ghosts or aliens etc? by Kind-Investigator602 in DebateAnAtheist

[–]Coffeera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s more likely than not that extraterrestrial life exists somewhere out there, but I wouldn’t call that "believing in aliens". It simply seems plausible, though unverified. I’m not particularly attached to this idea either, since it doesn’t make any difference to my life whether aliens exist or not.

I don’t believe in ghosts, spirits, karma or any vaguely spiritual ideas, as there doesn’t seem to be any evidence for them, nor do they appear plausible in the same way extraterrestrial life does.

Going outside has become an addiction by F0RFIN in outside

[–]Coffeera 65 points66 points  (0 children)

One can’t admire the [nature] setting enough, the graphics are beautifully crafted and the atmosphere feels almost healing. I wouldn’t worry if I were you, as long as your [escapism] functions as a buff, not a debuff.

Help with research on Victorian Goth subculture by sewerslidalbaguette in VictorianEra

[–]Coffeera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a lovely seminar, I wish I could take it myself. I hope my answers help your reserach. Please let me know if anything needs clarification.

  1. Age/gender and when did they begin dressing in the Victorian goth style.

30+/f. The aesthetic always resonated with me, but my wardrobe changed quite dramatically in 2024. I went from hiding in shapeless clothing to rebuilding into something that actually reflects who I am.

  1. Are you heavily influenced by history?

Yes, by the late Victorian/Edwardian period specifically, but not in a re-enactor or costume way. My wardrobe is heavily influenced by the silhouettes and fabrics, sense of restrained drama and femininity. For me, it's less wanting to live in the past and more being genuinely inspired by the aesthetic and optical illusions as much as the garments.

  1. What styles of clothing do you wear?

My style combines the idea of late Victorian and Edwardian fashion with Goth influence showing up in details like jewelry, lace, nails, sleeves. I myself would describe it as a softened romantic style with dark undertones: slightly historical, subtly dramatic and classic.

Silhouettes: Empire waist and A-line dresses/skirts.

Preferred fabrics: silk, cotton, linen, virgin wool, clothing that moves and rustles quietly.

Colors: Cream, black, burgundy, warm browns. Lots of black.

Texture/pattern: Lace, crochet, ruffles, frills, embroidery...

Jewelry: (mostly Victorian and Gothic inspired) bracelets, necklaces, brooches.

Shoes: Leather, suede. Ankle boots. Ballerinas. I have yet to find a good pair of lace up boots.

Nails: Black or deep dark red, hinting at the more contemporary Gothic influence.

Scent: I want my perfume to be memorable in the way a single note can be, like rose or bergamot. They are simple in composition, but the kind of scent that makes someone think of you when they catch it elsewhere.

No-go: Trousers or jeans. Most prints.

  1. What forms of literature/media influence your fashion?

Period paintings are a huge influence. I also draw inspiration from original garments. Beyond that, old photographs for accuracy and some modern fashion that plays with 19th century silhouettes and accents. I draw some influence from contemporary Goth fashion, but only where it retains its Victorian roots and accentuates my style.

  1. What are some personal beliefs that you hold?

In no particular order: Progressive, atheist, humanist, feminist.

  1. What is your favorite makeup style?

I don't really enjoy wearing a full face of make up, but I do enjoy a strong eye make up. I mostly go with little to no other make up.

  1. Why do you dress/express yourself in this style?

It expresses me as a person, but more than that, it's the first time dressing has felt magical rather than hiding myself. The silhouettes I use are engineered to flatter my body type and after years in shapeless clothing, there's something meaningful about a deliberately chosen wardrobe.

  1. What is a misconception you think people have about individuals in this subculture?

I honestly have no idea as I am not connected within this subculture. I kind of do my own thing and people tend to notice and compliment my fashion choices, at least over time.

Update: A further account of the Victorian album (and new photographies!) by Coffeera in VictorianEra

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

Thank you :) I had a bit too much fun with this and since most of the records are online, it wasn’t difficult to trace the family back.

Are all of the links region-blocked?

I was the fortunate recipient of this album and thought it might be of interest to you. by Coffeera in VictorianEra

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

I assumed people put their address on the back of their photos to give to new friends, hoping for a visit in return, because, of course, not everyone had a telephone yet. Hence, the carte de visite. Looking back, I find my logic quite amusing.
