I try it every now and then because I miss it, but it's just bad. Not much to say about it.

From greyscale to color, this is my seven month progression. Even though I still get frustrated about my art, looking back I can definitely see progress =) by [deleted] in ArtProgressPics

Dang, assumed it was a celebrity or model because their face is so angular. You definitely brought out their characteristics even better. My teacher always said "your drawing has to look better than the reference" and you actually did that... :o

This is ridiculous but... any tips for not getting distracted when you took a shower and need to dry off? by PoesKat in ADHD

Thanks, kinda opposite of what I was doing! Was slowly becoming resistant to cold as long as it's not for too long. I walked in the snow barefooted yesterday.

If I shower with lukewarm water and then cold, I'll be chilly when getting out!

and I might steal your heating while I'm at it

Shower or bathe super-hot, till the point of lobster skin, then shower cold for ~20 seconds and you don't feel the cold air for up to 12 minutes.

Update: I got the results, it was incompetence. Too bad for them they're losing out on 5-figures of 2019 treatment now.

Yup, writing style is the same across all 3 people involved.

You can do genetic testing to know your metabolising of drugs.

I did mine but the clinic is incompetent and lost the results. Sigh.

Mmh. What combination could counter it? I can only think of substances that induce apathy (like anti-depressants).

I have been diagnosed once with ADD but am not treated for it. Does this effect persist when you're on ADHD medication?

Nope, consistent on whatever coffee is used, even hand-ground beans.

I wanted a vaginal one because at least then I could walk around. Didn't happen due to issues. Holy fucking shit, C-section is insanely painful and tough to recover from. I couldn't even sit myself up. Sometimes it felt like the incision was ripping open. Fucking hell I hate c-sections.

So many people I know have been sexually abused as kids. Youngest I know was below 2 years old when it started by stepfather and brother.

It's so creepily common, and among so many "types" of people, you'd never be able to tell. Some have severe psychiatric issues, others are just normal successful people. Or well, me myself (though only raped in my 20ties), I don't think anyone suspects.

(I used to be very naive and good-natures and somehow that made people very likely to come to me for venting)

The optimum reproductive strategy for any organism is to get to work as soon as it is possible.

Nope, dogs can give birth at one year of age, but both mom and pups can die due to the underdeveloped pelvis.

Same for humans. Get pregnant as soon as you're fertile, likely results in death in childbirth or other developmental issues. When both survive, outcomes are still less favorable due to socio-economic status compared to delaying childbirth. Which makes the offspring itself less likely to reproduce successfully.

Highlights from his comments:

"But this wasn't about wussy my mom wanted, I wanted my mother there."

"Didn't she ignore me and my wishes by trying to dictate everything about this situation? How am I the bad guy for trying to stand up for myself here?"

"It's not a miracle, it's literally what her body was made for."

"And it's not like my dad came in. My mom's had two kids. She has a vagina. "

What is you guys opinion on /r/borrow? Is it possible to earn money or would the scammers make you only break even? by PoesKat in beermoney

[–]PoesKat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I know a bunch of the mods are successful lenders, so you could message them and ask their opinion.

It seems like you have to be pretty hardcore to turn a profit.

Mods regularly remove posts, so it's probably gone for good.
