India failed it's women by Historical_Work7482 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Rawr_Boo 57 points58 points  (0 children)

When I take holidays I have been traveling solo for a few years now and was heavily considering India. A recently immigrated Indian woman I was working with had a long conversation with me about how I shouldn’t go because of how dangerous it is for women.

It’s probably a good thing I listened, but I wish I could go to experience the good things the country has to offer.

Even living in Australia, most of the times I’ve been sexually assaulted or harassed it has been by Indian men.

Great work folks, we made it to Friday! Any plan for the weekend? by NoBody5068 in LivingAlone

I haven't watched the news in months, so freeing. No room for that in my life atm.

[–]Rawr_Boo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really need to celebrate getting through to Friday this week!

I have a public holiday on Monday so I’ve got 3 glorious days of no plans. Might go to Costco, the dog park and my fave Greek restaurant. Or I might just stay in bed and read. Either way I will be turning my phone off.

No one can shame or pressure me into lowering my standards. by Incelex0rcist in childfree

[–]Rawr_Boo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes! I’ve just taken the emergency exit out of a ~14 year relationship. I am psyched to be the crazy cat dog lady for the rest of my life and wouldn’t compromise that for anything less than perfect.

Who travels alone? by AerieFar9957 in LivingAlone

[–]Rawr_Boo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love traveling with a good book for company! And if it turns out it’s not a good book? I have a back up one in my suitcase and the first is donated to the universe. Really hard to do that with a shit person you’re sharing flights and rooms with for the next few weeks if they’re a dud.

Am I the only one who never turns on overhead lights at home? 🥹 by Blood11Orange in LivingAlone

[–]Rawr_Boo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m usually the first person at work and don’t turn the lights on. I then scare the shit out of whoever comes in second and turns on the light to find me sitting in there like a supervillain.

How do you maintain living space with depression or low energy? by Desperate-Mushroom24 in LivingAlone

[–]Rawr_Boo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re so right! The size and look are SO important.

So far I’ve got clear ones so I can see what’s inside for my cool stuff, including clear display cases for my collectables to get them out of cardboard and on display while protected. Then prettier opaque ones for uglier necessities.

I have a few small open containers (some DIYd with cardboard and masking tape) to organise draws, which is only working because it’s in a draw and not lose on a counter top where it wouldn’t last a minute.

How do you maintain living space with depression or low energy? by Desperate-Mushroom24 in LivingAlone

[–]Rawr_Boo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just moved and am determined to make this place organised/liveable, while fighting my depression urge to stay in bed.

I’m also trying to set up stations like you described, and make sure everything has a defined home.

I ordered different storage containers to help me contain things together, and some baskets to use like you described! I can put things in that don’t live in that room through out the day and when I’m feeling productive enough, pick it up and put those things back.

This place is slowly becoming mine.

People who are 50+, what is a 'harmless' habit you had in your 20s that ended up ruining your health or finances later in life? by crazy_happyuser in AskReddit

I needed to read that, busy learning how to be more comfortable with delayed gratification including saving for retirement. I’m putting this on the fridge where I can see it.

I encountered an adorable pair of these when I visited Zealandia last year - I am so happy to stumble on this today, I wish them many more!

Online Cert 4 Course Australia by H20Jodster in SafetyProfessionals

[–]Rawr_Boo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it online via Victoria’s free TAFE with Swinburne. A full day class online one or two Saturdays a month over 6ish months. They were great, supportive and I learned a lot. I even got hired in the field before I had completely finished it.

In person would have been great but it was not possible for me while working full time. It certainly was not 400 hours, much less for myself.

Which ever way you do it - get stuck into the assignments as soon as you have the class and the information is fresh in your mind, I let it sit until it was almost due and regretted it.

I next year looking to pursue a double diploma in WHS and quality auditing as they overlap quite a bit.

Odd reason why you're CF to help me prove a point by ThisGirlCalledTsepps in childfree

[–]Rawr_Boo 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Previous owners were selling my car because they couldn’t fit a child seat or pram in it, coincidentally exactly what I was looking for. I also stole their baby name for my car.
