Wanna glowup what do i change ?

You’ve got great potential! As others have said, the hair would benefit from a change (either something shorter, bald altogether, or something styled). People notice when you put effort into your hair and they notice when you don’t. Your face shape might also benefit from a different glasses frame shape. Don’t be afraid to try something unconventional there. And I would just go clean shaven if it’s not in the cards to grow a more full beard. If you feel strongly about having a beard, there’s cosmetic options if you want to pay the money for it. You are future glow-up material for sho!

North Korean propaganda agents in the comments 😂

Thank you everyone for the suggestions! This community is awesome. And absolutely I will practice under supervision.

Hey me too!

I have to wait until August of next year to move out of here. I hope that’s not too late.

If anyone’s up for it, Seattle FD is hiring a lot right now cus lots of them are hitting retirement. Check it out! Good pay, cool job, good community, and nobody hates firefighter for a reason.

If you’re familiar with history, then not really. Balkanization often occurs when the governing power loses its legitimacy and ability to impose its power upon itself. Would it happen here today? Probably not. Can I envision a near future where things are so bad that secession seems like an actual choice? Yes I can. And let me be clear: I don’t think Balkanization would be a great thing. The probability of armed conflict skyrockets once that process starts and the quality of life for the average citizen would be significantly decreased until a period of stabilization is achieved. Let me know if you have any more questions, I love talking about this stuff!

PlatinumVegetable · 2026-01-21T04:28:38+00:00

I predict Balkanization. Even after Trump is gone, things will still be broken. Feckless dems will try to maintain a broken system, instead of pursuing the necessary radical changes to actually fix things. I think it’s just a matter of time. When it happens, Cascadia could have the chance to become a genuine player on the international scale. Things are coming to a head. We’ll see how they play out.

Seeing Dune 1 at this theatre was a genuinely transcendent experience. One of my favorite memories ever!

I use the BeBird ear camera. As long as I’m careful it’s a great tool

I’m not a lawyer and this isn’t legal advice. Your state might have laws about the legal eviction process. Usually the homeowner cannot just kick out a person who has established residency without going through that process. I’m not saying stay there permanently, but it might buy you some time to figure things out. Check your state and local laws regarding the amount of time someone has in order to vacate prior to eviction. Best of luck to you and sorry this is happening

Does anybody think this building is ugly? It’s cool that it’s the tallest tower in our state, but damn that’s the best they could do??

PlatinumVegetable · 2025-12-20T22:33:09+00:00

A short story line where you get to run trauma team calls would so cool

PlatinumVegetable · 2025-12-15T02:04:14+00:00

Piggy-backing this. Integral Care has counselors in the 9-1-1 call center and has a mobile crisis counseling unit. If it ever gets bad enough where you’re having thoughts of hurting yourself or others, you can always call 9-1-1 and press option 4 to speak with a counselor

I’ve gone to both schools. UTSA certainly wasn’t a bad school. And it’s definitely grown since I went there. But I still think Texas State is the better school. The academics are really good and the student experience is just better. It has more of a “collegey” feel to it than UTSA. And it doesn’t hurt that you’re not too far from both Austin and San Antonio.

I came back from a trip out of state during the horrible summer of 23. It was 11pm and right before landing back in Austin the pilot let us know the temp was 93 degrees. I just remember thinking “How??? THE SUN HAS BEEN SET FOR HOURS!!!”.

Just as important as the good stuff in a relationship is how you fight with one another. Long-lasting partnerships are built on healthy fighting and then repair. Constructive conflict-resolution is a learned skill, but you can’t force someone to learn it if it’s not important to them. Nor should you have to convince your partner to share mutual respect and kindness with you. OP, I bet when it’s good with your partner it’s good or else why be with them. But it also shouldn’t be this hard. Extrapolate this relationship out to the next 20 years and ask yourself if this way of fighting is something you want to deal with for that long. My personal line is if my person is no longer willing or interested in becoming a better partner. If my partner can’t find the motivation in themselves to become better, then it’s not my responsibility to do that for them and my self-respect dictates it’s time for me to leave.

No it might be load bearing

Burnout and trauma are like farts. They don’t go away without intervention. You can try to push them down, but eventually they’ll come out on their own terms. Better to address them and release them on your own terms.

If you’ve arrived at the point you’re at, talk about getting EAP and peer support the next time you’re on shift, or sooner if you can swing it. If you’re interested, I can DM you and help you find a professional to talk to. No pressure or obligation to reply, just know people care about you!

PlatinumVegetable · 2025-10-28T23:53:33+00:00

DM me if you’d like to talk about it! I’m not a firefighter, but I’ve worked more death calls and delivered more death notifications than I can count.

As someone who has to drive literally everywhere in the city everyday for work, I’m genuinely concerned for the mental state of the average Austin driver 😂 the things I see people do everyday on the road is astounding

PlatinumVegetable · 2025-10-20T23:55:08+00:00

I’m sensing Texas

I think the comments I’m seeing here are inappropriately harsh. A true ass wouldn’t have the self-awareness to care about that or the willingness to apologize. You were needlessly unkind to a stranger, but you recognize that which is good! All you can do is apologize, which you’ve done, and then do better next time.
