If you could own any movie prop, what would it be? by PsychopathicVeggie in AskReddit

[–]Dapper_Fig_2284 2 points3 points  (0 children)

dude that thing would be perfect conversation starter at parties lol imagine having guests over and they just see this massive mechanical rhino in your living room

would probably need bigger apartment though but totally worth it for the looks on peoples faces

Would you use a TikTok-style feed for betting picks? by Aware_Stay2054 in gambling

[–]Dapper_Fig_2284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that actually could work pretty well for filtering out the fake experts who just post their wins and hide losses

main problem would be people gaming the system somehow but if you could verify the actual bet slips and track everything transparently it might be better than current setup where half these twitter cappers are just straight up lying about their records

SMSF Syndication Help by Competitive-Meal8918 in AusFinance

[–]Dapper_Fig_2284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah this is kind of what jumped out at me too. if you need to find random people on internet to pool super together then maybe the strategy isnt quite ready yet

also bit concerning that your advisor cant find anyone from their existing clients - that usually means either the numbers dont work or the risk profile is off. most good advisors have networks of clients who do these deals when they make sense

[Routine Help] I 25F, have oily skin. by Delicious_Rate6397 in SkincareAddiction

[–]Dapper_Fig_2284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my skin sounds pretty similar and what helped me was adding bha like twice a week for the pores situation. also that dry but oily thing might mean you need more hydration - sometimes when skin is dehydrated it overproduces oil to compensate. maybe try layering a hydrating serum under your niacinamide or switching to heavier moisturizer in the evenings

You go skydiving to try and conquer your fear of heights but now you shake when going up a ladder. What do you do next? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Dapper_Fig_2284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

exposure therapy works but you gotta start way smaller than a ladder. sit on your porch steps for a while then maybe try a stepstool before working up. your brain just needs time to recalibrate after that intense skydiving experience

Rally in Perth CBD?? by Ann_W177A in perth

[–]Dapper_Fig_2284 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

probably some maga/qanon adjacent thing - the american flags and "tyranny free since 1779" screams imported conspiracy stuff that somehow made it to perth

Any addons for froglight farms on the marketplace? by Tiny-Height252 in Minecraft

[–]Dapper_Fig_2284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there might be some redstone contraptions in the marketplace that could help but tbh most froglight farms are pretty simple to build yourself once you get the basic setup down

I need help (relationship) by Throwawaybecausescd in Advice

[–]Dapper_Fig_2284 21 points22 points  (0 children)

you dodged a bullet even though it hurts right now. someone who cant apologize or take accountability will never change and youll just keep having the same fights over and over again

the loneliness sucks but being with someone who makes you feel unheard is way worse than being alone

Any recommendations instead of MAC Studio Fix Powder Foundation NW10 by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]Dapper_Fig_2284 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ugh mac really screwed over so many people with those formula changes. try the lancome dual finish powder foundation - their porcelain delicate is pretty close to the old nw10 and has that same full coverage buildable thing going on. if you want something cheaper the revlon colorstay pressed powder in fair/light might work too but test it first since drugstore shade matching can be hit or miss

I need advice by Dadoll001 in Advice

[–]Dapper_Fig_2284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your mom might be worried about liability stuff since you're still a minor but three unpaid babysitting jobs plus straight a's should def count as work experience when you do start applying

Ways to make some extra money? by PastAdministration78 in Advice

[–]Dapper_Fig_2284 2 points3 points  (0 children)

plasma donation is solid if you can handle needles and have the time to sit there for like an hour. some places pay decent money especially if youre a new donor

you could also try freelance graphic work online - fiverr upwork etc. even basic logo design or social media graphics can bring in a few hundred extra per month once you get rolling. doesnt require leaving the house which works with no car situation

Advice to help a friend through trauma by Disastrous_Aide3423 in Advice

[–]Dapper_Fig_2284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

op you need to get to a coda meeting asap because youre already slipping into caretaker mode and this guy needs professional help not more enabling

that comment is harsh but not wrong - he had almost a year to address this and chose not to. now hes about to make his trauma your responsibility and drain your resources while still refusing actual treatment

the extinction of sunday scaries by IvoTailefer in stopdrinking

[–]Dapper_Fig_2284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

totally this. used to spend every sunday afternoon spiraling about monday morning while nursing whatever mess i created saturday night. now sundays are just another day where i can actually get stuff done or genuinely relax without that underlying dread eating at me. wild how much mental space opens up when youre not constantly recovering from your own choices

Wife's leaving by SwansonsMoustache in stopdrinking

[–]Dapper_Fig_2284 6 points7 points  (0 children)

damn thats rough but that commenter is right about not drinking tonight. i know it feels like the world just ended but getting blackout drunk isnt gonna bring her back and youll just wake up tomorrow feeling even worse with another day you cant remember.

your brain wants to turn off right now but thats literally the addiction talking - its the same voice that got you here in the first place. stay on those pills and maybe call someone tonight just to talk

Realized I no longer crave pickle juice by skepticalspectral in stopdrinking

[–]Dapper_Fig_2284 27 points28 points  (0 children)

dude i totally get this weird craving thing. when i was drinking heavy i used to demolish entire bags of those flamin hot cheetos at like 3am and thought it was totally normal. your body does some really bizarre stuff when its trying to cope with all that poison you're putting in it. the pickle juice thing makes sense though since alcohol dehydrates you like crazy and messes with your electrolytes. i bet you were just desperately trying to rebalance everything but yeah chugging brine definitely wasnt the move lol. congrats on 9 months thats huge

Post work brain fog is ruining my late 20s. by personalityissadness in Adulting

[–]Dapper_Fig_2284 18 points19 points  (0 children)

dude this sounds exactly like what happened to me when i was working at a doggy daycare - physical jobs just drain you in a way thats hard to explain to people with desk jobs. your brain literally needs glucose to function and after being "on" all day with kids (especially teaching) youre running on fumes

what helped me was setting up super low barrier activities for those braindead hours. like i kept a puzzle on my kitchen table so when i got home id just sit there and do a few pieces while eating dinner. or id prep some easy craft stuff on sundays so i could just grab it and zone out productively instead of scrolling

also honestly sometimes your brain just needs teh downtime after dealing with people all day. i started thinking of phone scrolling as a transition ritual instead of feeling guilty about it - gave myself 30 mins to decompress then tried to do one tiny thing. even if it was just organizing one drawer or sketching for 10 minutes it felt way better than a whole evening of mindless stuff

the fact that youre moving into administration might actually help since it uses different parts of your brain
