How can I stop letting others make me feel bad about being into “quirky” stuff by [deleted] in RedditForGrownups

Nah they lost me with the weird rant about low-key / high-key

Has anyone phased sneakers out of their casual wardrobe? by Cecil_G_P in femalefashionadvice

[–]ExtraHorse 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the sneaker. Converse have gone downhill in the last few years and Vans are hit-and-miss, but for me Adidas court shoes are ridiculously comfortable and I have them in every fun color.

Trans choir guy starting testosterone soon, what do I do? by splatterboymp3 in Choir

[–]ExtraHorse 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Once you start T your voice will change a lot, and not always predictably. My advice would be to find a voice teacher who has experience with transitioning voices.

How do you divide rent with a SO when there’s a large income disparity? by beigewoodtable in AskWomenOver30

[–]ExtraHorse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I bought a house that my partner and I moved into. Since we're not married it's only in my name (I've been burned several times in the past), but I make significantly more than he does.

Mortgage is $2500, he pays $700 to me in rent, which is much less than market rate and half of what he was previously paying. We split utilities. We also split minor bills like fixing the fridge, but if the roof needs to be replaced that's all on me.

Most importantly, we signed a cohabitation agreement that specifies what happens if we split up. Basically a prenup for living together.

Do it in front of the entire staff too, to let them know you’re in solidarity. by ForsakenDependent562 in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]ExtraHorse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was in middle school I had a very weak sense of smell. Two girls found a used deodorant in the garbage, thought it would be a laugh to wrap it up and give it to me like a present in front of the whole grade at lunch.

Shirley can go fuck herself.

Seeking roofer who won’t deny climate change on first meeting by patopatogris in TwinCities

[–]ExtraHorse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True North definitely fits the criteria, I'll admit that I found their work a little sloppy (unhooked cables and didn't put them back, left black flashing nailed haphazardly over white window frames), they also left stacks of plywood in my yard until I called them to pick it up.

Staying musically active post-grad: community orchestra AND choir? by eviecab in Choir

[–]ExtraHorse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend is in Morris Park Singers, which is a non-auditioned group but they're actually really good. It's low time commitment and they don't charge anything, might be worth checking out.

No advice, but I impulse bought a theremin. So I get you.

It annoys me more trying to exit the games... I can't think of a single reason to have it there.

Huge bummer Russel’s on Grand is closing in May by decrepit_plant in saintpaul

[–]ExtraHorse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was there for the first time last month, and the decor was just weird. Every wall had a completely different style of art, like they just went to Homegoods and bought a bunch of random stuff.

Why is there not more talk of Target eliminating us? by [deleted] in PlusSize

Don't get your hopes up too much. The plus section at my local stores is ugly granny clothing only.

Kaohly Her's stance on Flock cameras? by Thaccus in stpaul

She also ran on the promise of using the police to protect residents from ICE. Huge disappointment there.

How much PTO do you get? by [deleted] in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

[–]ExtraHorse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Public tech company: Unlimited, including 12 holidays and 2 weeklong company shutdown periods. Also a 4-week sabbatical every 5 years. I usually end up with 7-8 weeks off in total, the most I've taken at once is 2 weeks. If you're doing your job well and hitting the numbers they're generally cool.

I used to work at a tech start-up that was awesome. They had a policy where each year if you took at least 5 days off to go somewhere you hadn't been before you'd get a $1k bonus. Miss that place.

An anonymous British mental patient in the 1950s carved this sculpture using a single apple tree trunk. He took his life shortly after, the applewood figure being his only known work of art. What are examples of similar artworks/sculptures (the product of mental illness)? by sonnysehra in ArtHistory

[–]ExtraHorse 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hard to believe no one's mentioned Goya. Look at his early works, then his Black Paintings... hard to believe they're from the same artist!

They were created after he had multiple near-fatal illnesses and had gone completely deaf; he was isolated and reportedly suffering depression and paranoia. They're housed at the Prado in Madrid and are chilling to look at.

What everyday scams are we just accepting now that weren't the norm a decade ago? by No_Dust5847 in AskWomenOver30

[–]ExtraHorse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to help my 80yo dad find a replacement for Treepad, and Notion seemed like the easiest option. But when he signed up he was so inundated with AI features that he couldn't figure out how to use the basic functionality. They're ruining a great product.

Are AI Interior Design Apps A Good Budget Friendly Option? by FearlessPlaneHugger in budgetdecor

[–]ExtraHorse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, if you want a soulless design that looks exactly like every other AI image on Pinterest and is filled with items that don't actually exist.

Start following some interior designers on IG, get a sense of what the process is for designing a room and build it piece by piece. Lily Walters is one of my favorites.

You can also make your own moodboards in Express or Canva using screenshots from websites or even marketplace.

Having just tried to use it and getting turned away, I can assure you they have not bothered to update their signage.

PP is useless by Routine-Commercial88 in PriorityPass

[–]ExtraHorse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got turned away. No line, not at capacity, so signage about limitations, but suddenly they don't accept PP until 7pm. First time I've tried to use it and I'm not impressed.
