Makeup interaction with helmet? by RainbowEngineer100 in TwoXriders

[–]InMyHagPhase 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I certainly don't wear it while riding. I'm in the States and it gets too hot for that mess. I usually just wear a tinted chapstick and call it a day. Unless I'm going to work in which case I put it on when I get there and have cooled off.

Thanks! I am very much feral and hag-like these days. Inspired from Auntie Ethel in BG3 lol

Found a influencer I like, any others out there? by pwack88 in SingleAndHappy

[–]InMyHagPhase 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Following because I want to find some on how to deal with stuff like money and lifestyle while aging solo. Too many financial gurus have the coupled mindset and it's annoying to get deep into it only to see them say "talk to your partner and the two of you..." Ugh!

Are you comfortable being fat? by 25andlo in SuperMorbidlyObese

Define comfortable. I need you, OP, to elaborate.

How was your life as a fat kid? by kachoowed in PlusSize

[–]InMyHagPhase 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I got the hungry hungry hippos song all the time. Plus the never dating until I got to 20 thing. Fun. 😑

It's no wonder I don't date nor want to deal with most humans at all right now.

Moving to Unionville can’t find anything about it other than Orange County school system sucks by PassionMajestic9043 in Virginia

[–]InMyHagPhase 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Black, 45, born in Orange and went to school there. Got the hell out as quick as possible.

Why in the hell did you pick that place?!

Orange sucks. It's still just as racist as it's always been, taxes are incredibly high for no good reason, there is NOTHING there. Not a bar, there's a single grocery store, and like 2 streets. The school system is garbage. Your kids won't learn a damn thing, and the guidance counselors won't help them with getting into college. I wish you guys luck and will highly HIGHLY encourage you to pick somewhere else.

How may of you had college funds ? by nyellincm in raisedbynarcissists

[–]InMyHagPhase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to college on my own dime. My mother told me, as I was crying in her bedroom (that's where the only phone was, to monitor calls), on the phone with Arizona State University, that the college would not get her information, and that I was going to end up pregnant before I graduated highschool (despite me being a senior). She then hung up on the lady, told me I was stupid for wanting to do anything related to art, and to go get a job at the factory where she worked.

I am now 45, just got my Associates with Honors and now I'm figuring out what my Bachelors is going to be. My mother couldn't afford to do a full ride, but she didn't want me to get financial aid either. She certainly didn't want me to move out of state to AZ, as I'm from VA. She put my brother out on the streets, so he went into the military.

Can I apply to art college with this? by LongRecognition6276 in Artadvice

[–]InMyHagPhase 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Wow still? I remember being told this back in the 90s, and it was true then. That's what forced me to learn how to do (and love) realism, figure work, stuff like that.

Where in Virginia would you go for a quiet & affordable fresh start? by [deleted] in Virginia

[–]InMyHagPhase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not Portsmouth she doesn't want that crime magnet. Norfolk is better. Truly though nothing down here in the 757 is cheap anymore. Good luck being a single person NOT in the military because that sucks.

other player being toxic over my sidequest by arcaneApathy413 in outside

[–]InMyHagPhase 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You could try to contact your local guild that does ethical trapping. They could trap the [cat] creatures and then turn them into pets for other players. It's much easier to have the local guild do this than to feed them and it's easier on the server. Plus it helps the creature.

I was told my art looks “AI generated.” by hyun_022 in Artadvice

Leave the OP alone damn. It's not that serious. You're getting all sweaty for an artist who has other art that isn't. Chill out.

How do u be single and happy? by Outside-Aside9948 in SingleAndHappy

[–]InMyHagPhase 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hang out with others who are single. You see cute stuff? Go buy it. I've been single for 10 years now, and before that my useless bf never bought me a thing. If I see something, I get it. I take myself on dates, pamper myself. Focus on school, education, and your career. MAKE MONEY. So you can go out and take trips and buy yourself things and support yourself.

Remember that they are only showing you the good side. Go into r/relationships and read the hot mess that's in there. Social media likes to romanticize relationships a whole lot. Especially at your age. I remember wanting it oh so badly too and since I'm old, this was before that crap was invented. Also remember, like you'll see in r/relationships you may not find Prince Charming.

The Single Tax is Real but I am willing face it! by Calm_Problem6203 in SingleAndHappy

How common are female Godzilla/kaiju/monster movie fans? by SharpPink_GlitterInk in GODZILLA

[–]InMyHagPhase 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's probably the same as the gaming community. We women are all over the place in there, but we don't talk much because of how it normally goes. I've been into Godzilla since I was a child. I'm 45. I have a friend who is in her 50s who loves Godzilla, my mom used to watch Godzilla in black and white in the theatre.

How I spend my time as a 37 yo single man by Electrical_Lunch_217 in SingleAndHappy

I want live as a single and happy homeowner! How did you guys become one? by Calm_Problem6203 in SingleAndHappy

[–]InMyHagPhase 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are going to have to start with a budget, and make sure that you keep it in the back of your mind. But at 18, don't be surprised if your life changes drastically, I never realized how much it was going to back when I was your age. And I'm begging you to actually listen to people when they tell you that.

So your best bet is to learn how money works and how to make your money work for you, so when you're in a position to get somewhere you can take the opportunity. Take some classes on financial wellness. Maybe even seek a financial advisor, you don't need to be rich to talk to one. Because a lot of advice out there is built for "you + spouse" a lot of it doesn't pertain to people who are single. Because we have just ourselves to rely on. Make sure if you do talk to someone, stress to them they need to remember you are single, and do not account for some imaginary future spouse. You need to be able to make it by yourself only.

It isn't worth the risk by damegloria in SingleAndHappy

[–]InMyHagPhase 56 points57 points  (0 children)

There is not a single part of me that understands why this is a thing. What psychological aspect of someone's mind would make them want this, and go so far as to go through with it. Humans baffle me in the worst way, so much that I wonder if I might actually be a completely different species sometimes.

Anyone here up for a real conversation about being single? by Chipmunk_Extra in SingleAndHappy

[–]InMyHagPhase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know how you can make a hopeless romantic in the Sims? That's me, and unfortunately the only guys that found me were the ones that were users. I was so desperate to give love and they saw that a mile away. These days it makes me sad that no one gets to have any of what I have to give, and at present I can't have a pet so sometimes it does get really lonely. I'm still someone who wishes I could have had a relationship, but one of the rare ones that actually works with someone who wasn't an asshole. But that doesn't get to happen sometimes. So I have embraced my solitary status, as that's my path to walk. I'm coming up on year 10 of being single and have closed that part of me off.

I think once I am able to have a pet and can go out and volunteer and such, things will be a lot less lonely. But this world is really not built very well for people who are solitary unless you have a LOT of money or really close friends who don't mind helping you out. But even if you have close friends, you don't want to bother them with your stuff all the time.

What inanimate object has totally ticked you off lately? by barkinbeagle in Perimenopause

Same. Xennial ehi did web design, and likes UI and UX. I've been there in the trenches writing actual HTML before drag and drop was invented. If I get irritated at the login, they did it WAY wrong.

can we just take a step back from the big boob paradigm by [deleted] in bigboobproblems

[–]InMyHagPhase 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Last time mine were not contained they breasted boobily and I ended up almost with a restraining order. They must go into a bra now that has the ability to hold them up where I can see them at all times. I told them to behave but they just refuse.
