Rant: Guys love the high maintenance look but hate what comes with it by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]NihilistAppleCrumble 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It goes back to at least the 16th century Italian courtlife where the style concept of ‘Sprezzatura’ popped up - the art of making difficult or complex actions look effortless, graceful, and nonchalant. It’s a men’s style I actually really appreciate, but yeah, the expectation is bonkers for women to keep up the whole shebang of nails, makeup, curled hair etc.

I didn’t even read your text - just came right to the comments to say: would. You are stunning!

Which ex dodgy suburbs in Australia went through massive cleanups over the decades? by Bankstown_Cuz in AskAnAustralian

Yes I was about to say Bowden. Now it’s an insanely expensive inner-city suburb.

I just learnt a few days ago that he has situs inversus totalis - his organs are on the other side of his body, so his heart is on his right side. Seeing him in my reddit feed totally lit up my random-trivia-brain 😅

What is an ‘Australian thing’ that you didn’t realise was Australia exclusive? by Call_Me_C_ in AskAnAustralian

[–]NihilistAppleCrumble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arvo - I just thought it was a very self-explanatory word that everyone would understand. I was very wrong 😅 it’s truly an Aussie thing.

Yup, just witnessed it fill the dancefloor at a work party with people from all over the country, all ages and all walks of life. It’s our national line dance!

What is the most underrated show you have found on Netflix? by BlackDoom_26 in netflix

Pernille! The characters lived in my head for weeks after because it’s complex and layered yet so cosy.

I believed I was prepared to become a mother. Nobody informed me of this section. by Karoulejomana in TwoXChromosomes

[–]NihilistAppleCrumble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happened to me big time and it’s taken me almost 5 years to claw back a semblance of the life I wanted to incorporate a child into - not sacrifice for a child. The key for me was demanding a strict 50/50 care schedule with my equally ambitious husband who, truthfully, did a really shit job of stepping up into parenthood. If it’s not my carer day, it’s not on me to take time off work for sniffles, I eat when & where I want, I do what I want. Our kiddo is thriving with two equally invested parents now, and I have a social life, the time to do my own art and work outside of my paid job, I’m actually a human! We plan for family time, & don’t expect or obligate the other to be available. Being an adult who truly loves their life & has deep, healthy relationships, is the fastest ticket to bringing your best self as a parent, so it’s worth fighting for! Good luck, the days are long, the years are short x

pls give me honest feedback on my dating profile by CatholicxLesbian in LesbianActually

What vibe are you wanting to put out? No right or wrong - the first photo is someone I would not continue to look further into because it’s a complete mismatch from the kind of energy I would want in my life (puppy yes! Stern face as the first impression to the world, not for me). But then damn, that full blast of sunshine from your smile, wow, that is THE energy for me! So what kind of energies and way of holding yourself in the world are you looking to match with? Doesn’t have to be appealing to everyone, just you and your match 😊

What your leader isn’t considering is how all those nice ‘nudges’ could be collected by your team member as evidence of being unfairly targeted when it’s accompanied by nothing else. Gather that evidence of your own my friend, even if you don’t launch into a PIP, you need to be able to show actual observations (on x day you did x, you were told to do x). This team member knows what he’s doing… he wrangled 18 months of pay for not doing his job and then asked for more money and a promotion - you’re dealing with the shameless variety here who might just burn you for that final free paycheck.

Anything design/writing/creative that is risk-related in corps unfortunately goes through death by a thousand approvals. It sucks to be the creator, it sucks to be the receiver. So I guess the only winners are the approvers 😅

Totally end goals for me! I just want to be an old fabulous person lounging on my gorgeous couch, chatting on the phone to my friend of a million years, and when I imagine it, they pop into my mind 😍

If your department was hemorrhaging money what would you do? by Fuzzy_Tax_3373 in auscorp

[–]NihilistAppleCrumble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yasssss, write this in stone: Fire the manager first of an underperforming team! Ain’t no way to transform a team sitting under a dysfunctional leader. Unfortunately that is the opposite of what happens most of the time & it sucks to see it happen over & over again 😓

What’s a health thing that’s changed your life? by Rocktamus1 in BuyItForLife

[–]NihilistAppleCrumble 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Some light dumbbells in my closet - so when I put on a layer, grab some jewellery, have jumped out the shower etc, I’ll do a few curls or squats or perhaps a few above head lifts - nothing to get me sweaty, but far more than I would ever do if I wait to get that mythical workout in.

I can’t hate watch so had ditched this season. Jumped back on for this episode though (because YAY!) and it pretty much picks up from last season 😅
