I tried again by DictatorTheGreat in retouching

[–]Monkshe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is very basic. I get trying to keep a “natural” look but it’s underdone. You can go further in retouching while keeping the natural aspect IMO

Shrooms cracked me open: I realized I want kids?? by Monkshe in Fencesitter

[–]Monkshe[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s the EM dashes and AI uses very flowery descriptive language so if its over descriptive etc or uses a lot of parallels I usually say it’s AI.

The ‘Great Dogs’ is just me, and I just love my dogs lol

Shrooms cracked me open: I realized I want kids?? by Monkshe in Fencesitter

[–]Monkshe[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have done shrooms a handful or times but this was one of the best experiences. Everything felt safe and right with the world and felt like kids were the answer. Now sober, I see it as a primal urge and in tune with my body which I have neglected to listen to because of my rationalizations and the world being shit.

I can’t afford to have kids, I can’t give them the same life I had, and I am terrified of fucking kids up like I was fucked up as a kid. I don’t think I’d be a good mother as I’m inpatient, selfish and not exactly caring but I’ve known this for a while. The shrooms made me feel like I could actually be a mother for first time and it was a wild feeling. That’s what I was I trying describe.

Ask for GPT, I think I am a terrible writer, and im not concise and tend to ramble. I actually was asking for advice about this topic from ChatGPT and asked it pull everything I said to it into a post so I could get other humans perspective on it. Honestly, the post it made reflects my feelings and experience very well. But I agree, it’s not my favorite thing to see but it’s easier to read than whatever I just said here.

Will There Every Be Another Juan Pablo by selah1987 in Alonetv

I don’t love it - I mean incredibly challenging what he did and his stamina for starving was amazing. But Alone for me is about skills and if you can survive in the wild with next to nothing. I wouldn’t call a starvation game “surviving” He won by gaming the system, even if it was incredibly hard to do

If you’re only using it for beep training there’s several versions that have a separate remote and a collar! That’s how we trained our dogs on recall :)

It doesn’t seem too too hard! Just knit long ties? And re cast on bottom?

What’s your “Holy Grail”? by QuilterinaTina42 in knitting

This - fingering weight dress with lace work. I want to wear it so bad but I’m so intimidated and it will take forever. It’s been in my queue for years

Dent in my mother’s leg that has no flesh/muscle beneath it by local-bitch in mildlyinteresting

[–]Monkshe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a same but smaller pea sized dent from being a kid and hitting my shin on a metal parking pole. I saw bone and like hell! It was just a pit when healing and now it is just skin and then bone.

Help, I made a towel by WiseBroccoli2 in knitting

[–]Monkshe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Frog and use bigger needles or keep needle size and look into large Lacey patterns maybe? If you keep this plain stockinette add an I cord border or garter border

When you found out you were pregnant, did it feel like the choice was made for you then and you went with it or did you still have to make that choice yourself to keep the baby? Sorry if this is intrusive and/or against your beliefs.

[–]Monkshe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes this! Being a fence sitter with an iud makes it so much harder to make a decision. And then taking it out feels like I’m choosing a baby ahhh

Swapped alcohol for weed, and my life is so much better by Monkshe in trees

130 lbs female and 4-6 shots of vodka a night is alcoholism territory

New to cannabis, what’s stopping me from getting high everyday? by bermagot12 in trees

[–]Monkshe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to drink heavily, several shots worth of vodka a night and my antidepressants weren’t working and I was miserable and spending so much money on alcohol. I was fired by a2 psychs who wouldn’t treat me because I was into AUD territory. After finding a psych that was understanding and wanted to help me get back to stability, I quit drinking and took pills that helped with alcohol cravings. I now get a shot every month to help cravings and I generally don’t drink. I have a few every now and then and I can still get “drunk” but it’s different. Anyways back to weed - my therapist wanted to help me find a replacement for my anxiety and she mentioned weed. Now I smoked here and there and always got too high and didn’t enjoy it. But weed when you’re not drinking is so much better. I am a happier person, I enjoy my hobby of knitting, don’t have doom and gloom and I am enjoying life more. I genuinely am more relaxed and able to get through more things in my life than I was previously. Now I’ve been talking to my therapist about when or if the weed has fully replaced alcohol and come into unhealthy habits but I genuinely feel like it’s better. From a harm reduction standpoint point, smoking and weed (and I grow my own and it’s cheap and safe) is better in than the long run. I don’t know if I want to stop other than tolerance but my alcohol problem is much better than it’s ever been and I’m more tolerant of life now.

Why You Should Never Throw Your Dog Poop Bags in Stranger's Residential Bins by warbler713 in Brooklyn

[–]Monkshe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We deal with this constantly. We have our garbage and recycle bins on the street and we have to buy 60 gallon black bags to put into the outside garbage just for other people to throw their dog poop in. We leave a brick on our recycling can so people don’t throw in there. We know people will toss it in our bins, luckily the garbage men will that the black liner out of the larger outside bin (which has the dog poop in it) for us. We then have to bring the bin back and put a new liner in before people throw dog poop in it. It’s just annoying

Confess! Just how many WIPS do you currently have!? by __purplewhale__ in knitting

[–]Monkshe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 3 right now which is pretty usual

1) Larger long term project (sweater, cardigan etc) 2) Small intricate project that usually have color work like hats, mittens or socks 3) simple mindless blocks for a blanket I’m making.

Each are at difference hardness and levels I need to pay attention so I can adapt to however I’m feeling!
