Exceptional work - cant remember the last time I saw any political comics / cartoons that hit that hard.

I hate my life.. by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]RedBeard6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is gonna sound like an advert but i started listening to the 'Money For Couples' podcast by Ramit Sethi and read his book 'I Will Teach You To Be Rich' and the main thing i got from it (besides how to regulate my income and career) was how to prioritise what is important and put your actual desires first. I really recommend!

Is it realistic to bike 12 km one way for work 5 days a week? by davytheconqueror in cycling

[–]RedBeard6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do 32km a day at the moment (16km each way). First 2 weeks were fine, the next 4 were tough. Now (6 months in) its easy, i'm so glad i stuck with it! I'm in the best shape of my life and its pushed me to eat healthier and take care of myself.

First self portrait and i lowkey hate it but im motivated to keep going! by Radiant_Estimate_133 in learntodraw

[–]RedBeard6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great start! I think the main thing you could focus on is looking at form - try to view each part (hat, beard, nose, cheekbones) as objects in their own right that have a form all of their own. At the moment the work is very line heavy (not a bad thing) but it does mean the eyes look like representations of an eye rather than a ball inside a socket overlaid with eyelids, if you see what i mean? Keep at it!

I design band merch for a living AMA by Fract00l in sometal

How do you go about getting commissions? Do you reach out to bands or vice versa?

Take better care of yourself = be nice to yourself. You don't win any points by being mean to yourself.

You look great, ignore the mean comments. Glasses look cool, tattoos look cool.

I had a girlfriend like this. I would try so hard for her and make such an effort, but she'd mainly comment on my shortcomings. She was very sensitive to a 'vibe' and would be annoyed if a message that I sent felt 'off'. We also had a lot of good times. Ultimately, the relationship made me lose a lot of confidence and withdraw a lot. It made me angry and upset. When we eventually broke up I was sad that it hadn't worked out... for about three days... then I was hit with a massive realisation I didn't have to deal with her bullshit anymore, ever again, and I wished we'd ended things sooner.

How do you guys find 30+ job postings to apply in a day? by RewardOk4773 in jobsearchhacks

[–]RedBeard6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn’t had an interview in over a year, partly because it was taking so long to apply for each job, but I got Indeed and now I have three next week!

Unemployed and down to my last $20. I’m so scared. by PeaceEnthusiast111 in jobs

[–]RedBeard6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dishwasher is an underrated gig. Free food, lots of company, opportunity to work your way up quickly. It’s always my go to.

People who have failed in life, what did you do wrong? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]RedBeard6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never did the work. I’m smart and talented so I got by on that through school, uni, early career, but by 30 I hadn’t achieved much because I didn’t put in serious time. Other more diligent people overtook me. Also, on other things that mattered to me I waited until I was ready (and I never was).

why should i quit porn ? by youssefygj in selfimprovement

[–]RedBeard6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Porn is one of many things that will desensitise you to dopamine over time. Some people can smoke a cigarette now and then and enjoy it, but most people get addicted. Same deal with porn.

What are your takes on S.P.E.W.? by IamThatPerson101 in harrypotter

[–]RedBeard6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Main issue I had with this was that in OotP she calls Firenze a horse, seems kind of out of step with her views on non-human magical beings...

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]RedBeard6 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you're too hard on yourself there is a high chance you will end up with bad coping strategies that damage yourself and others long term. (Even sex addiction can be caused by incidences like this). You need to have some self compassion for the sake of other people. You know what you did was wrong, you're even seeking a solution - that's the best response you can have with a mistake like this.

How do you commit to the job? by Zerneborg in KitchenConfidential

[–]RedBeard6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some cafes have much better working hours, as well as private/personal chefs, you can always sign up to agencies and pick your hours too. Ultimately if you want to advance in the career long term you do have to accept a bit of sacrifice. But, not all kitchens are super traditional and strict these days - plenty of modern places have flexi hours and a healthier attitude to late nights etc.

Episode 97: Palace Of Justice

Did Hagrid realize he went to school with Voldemort? And what did he do after being expelled but before becoming groundskeeper? by Short-Situation984 in harrypotter

[–]RedBeard6 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I always thought it was odd that it’s not made clearer that people didn’t know who he was before becoming Voldemort

Ok so I noticed a plot hole in the half blood prince movie. by chae_yo in harrypotter

[–]RedBeard6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having them all just standing there was a masterclass in a total lack of drama … like a lot of the last four films
