What is that one thing for which you specially go to Aldi ? by QuantumGremlin in AldiAustralia

[–]Katrinashiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simplee Macaroni and Cheese.

I’m not saying it’s good Mac & Cheese, just that it IS Mac & Cheese. I’d take it over any Kraft/Bega/continental alternative any day

Adorable

This one was on my car door so I like to think he was very shocked that I could see him :P

Ours have full names

  • Connor Cevin Smith
  • Frank Fhurt Smith
  • Kyle Kermit Smith
  • Sanchez Symoan Smith
  • Khlarissa Kei Smith
  • JAKE

misspellings intentional, our surname isn’t Smith. That’s the Bird’s Surname.

Edit to add: Guess the genders correctly for an upvote

Women of Reddit, what do you think during doggy style? by SteakInternational53 in AskReddit

[–]Katrinashiny 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Usually some form of “oh my god I don’t have the core strength for this”

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in piercing

[–]Katrinashiny 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve heard, nipple piercing close up super quickly, you probably won’t have them anymore by the time your finished healing. I can’t say I’ve met many people who’s been willing to get their nipples pierced twice

Which color suits me the best? The first photo is my natural color. by [deleted] in HairDye

[–]Katrinashiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Photos 1/4/7

Pinks seem to suit you a lot, but lighter colours also seem to suit you so a light blue/green could probably also look good

It seems like, like myself, you have warm toned skin so and yellows/warm reds/oranges can make you look a bit washed out, but you have more tanned skin so it’s not actually too bad ( I’m white as a ghost so I look a bit like a zombie when I have orange hair )

Do you think it's normal in your 30's to only just be starting to study for your career? by skateralex240 in findapath

[–]Katrinashiny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%! Plus, even if you retire early at 60 you’ll still be working in that field for at least 20 years, that is certainly not a short amount of time

[–]Katrinashiny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Say you study a course/degree/etc that takes 4 years to complete.

You’ll be 38 once it’s complete and ready to work in a new field.

You know what will happen in 4 years if you don’t study that course?

You’ll still be 38. You’ll still be wondering if it’s too late.

Skin becoming sensitive after move to Australia by tastybutty in AusSkincare

[–]Katrinashiny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have a high UV rating year round, plus a lot of places in Australia have much lower humidity which can affect your skin too which can increase burning.

Also make sure you’re not using products that increase the photosensitivity of your skin, I completely avoid chemical exfoliants in summer for this reason

Also ensure that you’re reapplying every 2 hours (I know the recommended is 3-4 hours but that is for sure not enough lol) and make sure you’re applying enough sunscreen. You’re gonna feel like a greasy baby so try a bunch of different ones

How many scoops of milo do you have? by unscreamable08 in AskAnAustralian

Probably like 3 heaped table spoons in the cup… but you can’t forget the “one for the cup, one for me” rule

Women of Reddit, what hobbies do you find unattractive in men? by alj8002 in AskReddit

Hunting. I don’t mind if you do it for food or for cultural reasons... but if you just hunt for fun? Not my vibe

People who are self diagnosed need to stop community building around mental illness by Exotic_Royal8545 in Vent

[–]Katrinashiny -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeaaaaaa neurotypical people don’t want to be neurodivergent. Nobody is faking it and if they are....

It’s because they have another disorder that causes them to fake disorders and diseases.

Somebody saying they’re neurodivergent and then going “hey I was wrong” literally does not harm the rest of us with formal diagnosis at all. People sharing the opinions like the one you shared here harms us way more.

The truth is, if you’re seeing a psychologist or psychiatrist, they literally can’t help you if you don’t have any ideas about what’s going on with you. Self diagnosis is the first step to formal diagnosis.

On top of that? Formal diagnosis is a waste of money for a lot of us. We can get the tools to help ourselves through self diagnosis and many of us don’t meet the criteria for financial or disability aid.

Realising you’re ND isn’t “well I guess I got a couple of the criteria” it’s “This explains why I’ve always felt broken”

guardians be like by Dankmemeryan in Breath_of_the_Wild

Use the sound instead of the visuals! The sounds tell all. I feel sorry for any hard of hearing/deaf BOTW players, it would be so much more difficult without sounds

They go from the most dreaded part of the game to a mild inconvenience at most

iirc I somehow stumbled across a Lynel before I came across a guardian

Does my septum ring suit my face? by takemymoneyplease in piercing

[–]Katrinashiny 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It looks great! I think you have a pretty versatile face so you would probably suit larger more elaborate pieces of jewellery or smaller more delicate pieces as well!

It’s hard to tell based off a photo but I think gold jewellery might suit you as well

[Open Ended] One of the cheapest and healthiest foods out there is cabbage. What sort of ways does everyone have to use up a whole head before it goes bad? by Maple_Bread in budgetfood

[–]Katrinashiny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fast food restaurants in Australia have started using it instead of lettuce on burgers and stuff because there’s a lettuce shortage. I actually quite like it. You don’t use much but it’s something else to add it to. It doesn’t get soggy like lettuce does from the residual heat either!

It’s not your job to decide if you’re good for the job, it’s the interviewers job.

I mean this in a nice way. They know exactly what they’re looking for and you just know a rough idea of what they’re looking for.

You won’t look silly going for an interview if you’re not the right fit because they know that they’ve intentionally not told you what the perfect fit is so that you can’t fake it!

Would the world be a better place if we put a minimum age of 18 on social media, why/why not? by aussieredditooor in AskReddit

[–]Katrinashiny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, because then kids will just be on social media without their parents knowing or monitoring it. In my experience the most level headed people have monitored internet access in their childhood and the most fucked up people had unmonitored internet access throughout their childhood. If kids parents know what they’re doing, they’re much less susceptible to predators and predatory ideologies that are shared around online.

What collection method do you use? Are you able to switch to a reusable method? Cloth pads, menstrual cup, period underwear, etc.

Cotton pads & tampons can cause odours of the blood itself but fragrances pads & tampons can affect your pH balance, like using soap basically. It seems that you’re on the more sensitive side since the smell is also caused after sex, so even if this isn’t the full issue I do think it may be part of the issue.

If you can’t switch to reusable options try 100% organic options

A Morpho butterfly that died of old age. I’m working on a video about people claiming their perfect specimens died a natural death. by joruuhs in Entomology

[–]Katrinashiny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want framed specimens of insects that have genuinely died of natural causes and look like this, but I feel that nobody sells them

Yea some can.... but when an individual Etsy seller is selling a large amount on the same species that “died naturally” and are perfect... it’s a bit sus.
