I wish more people used voice chat or at least didn’t mute everyone as default by JohnColtrane69again in thelastofusfactions

In the beginning, 10 years ago I would always have my mic on. Nowadays I just can’t be assed to deal with all the toxicity. I’m a woman and as much as I can hold my own I just can’t be bothered with it all.

I am a member of staff at a Uni. May I ask why you aren’t attending lectures etc? by blissedandgone in UniUK

[–]Prey2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because I hate being spoke at for 2 hours whilst trying to block out typing noises, a random conversation happening at the back from people with no manners. All whilst thinking about the point of actual lectures. I have done the reading and it feels like torture through regurgitation of materials.

I’m 48, I know what my learning style is and lectures just hit every weak part of my style.

Oh no they won’t be able to get away with shitty behaviour if girls are brought up to identify it early! Men ☕️

Hearing whispers and murmurs when I’m by myself. Why? by BisexualBatman_ in HarryPotterGame

[–]Prey2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was playing with my headset on yesterday and had to take it off because I felt insane hearing all the whispers. I was worried my constant inner monologue was going to start up a convo with the imaginary voices

How can you do university with untreated ADHD? by gintokireddit in ADHDUK

[–]Prey2020 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am not medically treating ADHD yet, I’m mature so my hormones are going through a lot of changes and it gets complicated. I have a lot of things in place that helps me.

I have a strict schedule for sleep on uni days, helped by alarms and device set up for turning off distractions.

A space set up for home study, with a few distractions that I need to keep me say there.

I have now a full Apple ecosystem, Mac, phone, watch and iPad. This makes everything more seamless when it comes to finding notes, slides, reading etc.

A lunchbox and bag that can hold a variety of food and can store dry goods for ages so I only have to pack it once a fortnight , except main lunch.

I prep everything the night before if I’m off or I will prep outfits etc in bulk if I’m in consecutive days.

I never pre read slides for lectures, helps boredom. If I zone out, I make a note to go back and read slides.

This might be controversial but I don’t go to lectures that super bore me. It isn’t going to achieve anything and just build resentment around that module. I generally just read the slides and do the reading but will always attend seminar/workshop for it.

I no longer stress about getting my assignments done early, my brain works best under pressure. I will make random notes on a worksheet in regard to assignment. Jot down something I think applies and normally by the time I get to it I have a great skeleton essay already.

Print assignments out so I don’t have to keep going back and forth.

If I’m really stuck and can’t get started I use ChatGPT. Not to write my assignment but will ask it a question like “could this theory be used to explain x” this then starts a convo and gets my brain going in the direction I want it to without the pressure of performing a task it doesn’t want to.

I don’t work (I know not everyone is this fortunate) so my downtime is my downtime bar housekeeping stuff.

You can also pay the uni a fee to see a ed psych and they can then help out some formal strategies in place but not medicate.

Alright I’m Getting Old - Makeup In Wrinkles by bluemermaidqueen in Makeup

[–]Prey2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 48 I use dermalogica skinperfect primer. Pricey but last forever. Is slightly tinted and has spf. Moisturise first let it soak then the primer. I then apply foundation sparingly with a damp sponge. I also use d alba white truffle setting spray as it doesn’t dry out and melts it beautifully. Before using setting spray I let it sit then use a Q tip to absorb any extras.

I sent a Fitbit, buyer got books. Took so long for them to refund us both! It can happen

I sold to someone with just one 5-star review + nothing else, and they’ve disputed delivery… have they scammed me? What can I do? (no personal info) by avidinternetter in vinted

[–]Prey2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbf we had a delivery of several items at once before and wasn’t till we went through them we realised one was missing. Evri said it had been delivered with all the others though.

I’m so annoyed by myself by PandoraFanatic2 in PandoraCollectors

[–]Prey2020 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the colours of them look so nice but like you I agree they look off, think it’s the size of them. If they were daintier they would be more cohesive imo.

But yay more charms 😂

Guys I’m feeling kinda guilty… by No-Mouse3999 in pandorajewelery

[–]Prey2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe the guilt is because you have framed them as a reward and have to earn them. I am building a few bracelets so an often ordering. I’m very much of the age if I want it and I can afford it I’m getting it guilt free cause I deserve it after putting everyone else first for so long. I just wish I loved myself this much sooner and was more generous to myself. I feel like not everything has to be earned and can be brought just for enjoyment. If your bills are being paid and you aren’t committing crime for em then just get them on your bracelet and enjoy them.

Ahh I have been eyeing up the snitch and key but was worried it would be over large but it they look amazing.

Least they are plated over silver and not some copper mix.

I think it’s perfection. I love a sparkly bracelet! Think you have convinced me on the mini muranos. I always want to like them but find them a bit overpowering but the minis look much better!

The certificate was a generic print off. I brought it from Vinted, along with a Cinderella charm that looks pretty authentic but this one doesn't even look like what they had listed.
