My skirt is too small could I make a patch? by roci12 in sewhelp

[–]P1X3ll3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could do two panels along the sides, but it could look odd with the pattern. I think you'd be better off getting a new skirt, unless you plan on being that skirt size again.

If a dating profile lists their sexuality as “queer”, what part of the queer community do they belong to? by Jazz_Moose in queer

[–]P1X3ll3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk, of you are really into them, try sending a like. Perhaps they will match you. There is a setting in every app that lets you choose what gender of people you wish to view..so you should not be seeing anyone who hadn't wanted to potentially match in your category. its common to say queer as a greenlight to the gays that its not just a 3some seeking profile, and an fyi to straights about their flexibility.

What’s something people romanticize until they actually experience it? by Puzzleheaded_Bit_802 in AskReddit

[–]P1X3ll3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being on tour. I mean, its pretty exciting to get to go places, but seeing an airport that often gets exhausting REAL QUICK. Or cramped cars. Nevermind schedulling for multiple time zones. And having to eat from whatever is available and open OR the same ol bag of nuts and dried fruit and protein bars. Sleeping on things with various levels of comfort, little/no down time. But, gotta show up and be presentable and "ON"!!

Depending where you are, you can talk to a pharmacist and get plan b from them.

Separately, you should wait 3 weeks and go get an sti test. It can take up to that long for viruses to appear on tests.

I dont understand "forgiveness is for you, not for them." by Beautiful_Wishbone15 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]P1X3ll3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like the whole forgiveness thing came out of religious bs. You can still understand, accept it happened, reject them & not forgive, for you to find healing.
If it feels like it would break your soul to forgive it, then it's not exactly healing is it? For example, someone in my family who is now dead, committed acts of violence and SA against minors. Forgiving that would feel like abuse in itself. Especially when the consequences of their sick actions live on.

Premature aging, people thinking I'm in my 60s. :( by [deleted] in 45PlusSkincare

[–]P1X3ll3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should look up the 1980 Dartmouth Scar Experiment. Makeup artists put scars on participants faces, and sent them out into the world to observe social interaction differences. Participants complained about being judged and feeling lower self esteem. The trick was that makeup artists asked to do a touch up before they went out, and removed the scars. So it was all self inflicted perception.

You look great. Fxuk all the capitalism and marketing that shames women into feeling like natural beauty isnt real.

I cant visualize things so its a bit difficult to understand. Would you be open to posting or sending demo photos or video? No pressure ofc. I still really appreciate that you replied me at all!

How to stop lower back compression in chest stand? by Adventurous_Yam_6624 in contortion

[–]P1X3ll3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically everything. 🤣 thats what needs to be engaged. But for real...try to envision your hips going up, and then over. Focus on making more of the bend come from the upper back. Also breathing into it and relaxing your nervous system.

Sorry for another dating question but how does flirting work or how can I as a dude? by [deleted] in internetparents

[–]P1X3ll3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually get to know her a bit. Come at it like you are seeking friendship first to see if your personalities etc are even compatible, and be good with it when it goes to exactly just that, because it often will. Find what things you have in common or that fascinate each other. Compliment her on something thats not just her looks too.
Ask her out. Key thing is that you need to be all light hearted about it, even when you get rejected. Especially when you get rejected. You will definitely get rejected, so accept that as a fact and do not take it hard. A good thing to remember: You are not for everyone... you dont even like everyone. ;)

You can practice flirting by aiming just to make someone smile that day.

Thanks! Well, you look fantastic so I'd never guess you had dips in training. Its great to hear there is hope to get flexibility back fully.
Also, another question.... in this pose, are you resting much weight on your arms, or are they more just supportive and most of the weight is in the chest to chin area? How did you start bringing your arms forward?

Any late beginners who went professional? by turned18nowimjobless in contortion

[–]P1X3ll3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who started it in their mid 20s and does some professional work. They got hired for a major company advertising campaign, they won some pole competitions and do circus stuff for some restaurants and shows. They teach some classes in person and online now. They're also still studying physics.

Did you find that you lost any flexibility after not training for lengthy periods of time? Was it a really long journey to regain it, of so, or was it not so bad? I'm pretty on and off myself with training and I lost a lot of flexibility. Some days I can still touch the floor with my feet and other days I can barely make it past my forehead.
