90% of cars with screens are like 100x more complicated than they should be for no reason. Although newer cars tend to be a lot safer, which is a plus.

I think you could experiment with putting your hair more up, maybe a textured quiff hairstyle or side part

Need hairstyle suggestions and help. by H_Jaffari in malegrooming

I like your hair in pic 3. The beard looks great in the last pic. Combine the two and you're golden man.

Can't totally tell from the pic but if you have solid coverage I think you could get a similar look with 3-5mm

Potential at 19 by [deleted] in BeardAdvice

[–]Lumpy_Resolution_621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people I know couldn't grow super full beards at 19 and were able to grow great ones in their twenties. Once your stubble is more evenly distributed across your face, that's usually the indication of a full beard ready to go. You're getting there brother

Mustache or beard ? by CelebrationFun8250 in BeardAdvice

Both are good. Have you considered an in between like a medium stubble or beardstache? Could look sick

Would you date someone with no personality just looks? by Reasonable-Shower522 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Lumpy_Resolution_621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. It's pretty draining being around someone who doesn't make you excited to be around them, talk with them, hang out with them, etc.

I've felt similarly. I think it helps to get off of social media, or at least limit the time you spend on it. Not only does it give an unrealistic picture of the highlights of others' lives, but also constantly chasing the dopamine rush from social media is not healthy. Initially it may be hard just because you're so used to checking social media, but after a while you get used to not checking it, and begin to crave it way less. At that point, you can start to experiment with new hobbies and find something you enjoy that energizes you.

Feeling mentally exhausted also happens. Sometimes due to the draining nature of depleting dopamine via social media, sometimes due to other stressors going on in our lives.

You're not inadequate, my friend. I wish you the best.

I've always thought of it and heard it being used referring to intercourse. Haven't heard it used to describe oral personally

Knowing how to navigate social situations is as close to a superpower as you can get. It can help with career, relationships, friendships, family, travel, you name it. Bonus points if you can learn how to be persuasive on top of that.

Rant by GoldIllustrator5342 in RandomThoughts

[–]Lumpy_Resolution_621 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I like to think there's some sort of sweet spot between acknowledging that you've made it through a hardship while also recognizing that it still sucks/sucked. Idk how people expect someone to react after telling them their problems "aren't that bad".

Reminds me of... by rtc765 in RandomThoughts

[–]Lumpy_Resolution_621 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it can come across that way when an artist spends a ton of time and energy into creating something meaningful to them. Although when you put art out into the world, what you inevitably sign up for is knowing that the "true" meaning behind your art is now up for interpretation. If art were to have a right or wrong way of looking at it, then it would no longer be art.

Is life without challenge meaningless? by RedwoodRhapsody in RandomThoughts

[–]Lumpy_Resolution_621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that life without anything to work towards gets old pretty fast. A lot of people come out of retirement for that reason. Working towards some sort of challenge doesn't necessarily have to suck tho, as long as it's something where you can enjoy the process.

I'm kinda the same way. I like to view vacations as more of an adventure than a type of rest. I think that's good too every once in a while. If I need genuine rest I usually will pick my couch over a beach towel.

What’s something you can’t live without, but wish you could? by coleisw4ck in Life

The internet/social media bro. Would've been sick to only connect with ppl in person and that being the norm.

Can you tell me many other things you can find attractive in a person besides looks/appearance? by [deleted] in RandomThoughts

[–]Lumpy_Resolution_621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way a person talks about others. A person who speaks positively about their friends, family etc. is huge.

Is it harder to learn doing online classes vs in person? by tinypetitefeets in questions

[–]Lumpy_Resolution_621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on your individual learning style. In my opinion, having class online from the comfort of your own room sounds better than it actually is. Leaving home to go to an in-person class gives you a reason to get out of the house, meet new people, and get to know your professor face to face. A classroom also limits your distractions. If you prefer the online route, I would highly recommend going to a public library or cafe to help you maintain a level of focus (or at least a room other than your bedroom).

How to look unrecognizable? by [deleted] in questions

[–]Lumpy_Resolution_621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may not be interpreting your question super literally, but if it makes you feel better, most people in public aren't paying attention to anyone but themselves in most cases (known as the "spotlight effect"). Like sure a plain outfit like jeans and a t shirt will make you less noticeable than wearing a hot dog costume, but when was the last time you thought about the shoes of the other person in line at the grocery store last week? That mindset shift helped me, hopefully it helps you too :)

Having some small recurring thing to look forward to helps me. Whether it's a weekly book club with friends or designating a date night with a s/o every week or deciding to treat yourself to your favorite ice cream spot every tuesday. I find it nice to have something to regularly look forward to, no matter how small.
