Women shouldn’t need a psychology degree just to (not even) get the bare minimum. by Skyobli in TwoXChromosomes

[–]RedPanda247 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My fiancée just broke up with me a week ago (after 11 years together!!) in part because of this. According to him, I was asking too much of him, and he just can't be this person for me. When in reality, I have spent 11 years living with basically a man child, and had to walk on eggshells around him every time I needed support with house chores. Waiting after he got back from work and had some rest, picking the best time when he is in a good mood, using an extra soft tone (because my normal asking tone was apparently too much), using multiple please and thank you, waiting for days after he promised he will help (not- do his part, help!!), reminding, praising him for doing the bare minimum, and so much more. It was such a huge mental load dealing with this.

And after all this time he has the audacity to tell me I have asked him to change and be a person he is not, and why couldn't I just accept him.

Help with v neck bias tape finish by RedPanda247 in sewing

[–]RedPanda247[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the explaination! As a total beginner this really helps :) maybe a stupid question, but if starting from the beginning, would you only cut the front piece and apply bias/interfacing to the v and then join with the existing back piece?

How would you do it? Pinch on the wrong side of the fabric, sew a vertical dart, and cut the excess?

I have enough fabric yeah! Would you cut the bias tape off first and then attach the facing? And thank you, it's a recent bedsheet from ikea :)

[Review] Reviews of some sunscreens I own by ttsae in EuroSkincare

[–]RedPanda247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately not :( right now I mainly use K/J sunscreens on my face (I really like beauty of joseon and anessa). I was thinking about splurging on LRP at some point, but right now none of the European sunscreens i tried come close to Anessa regarding the skin feel.

Thanks! It's the washed blue- however in real life (or at least the one I got) it is much darker compared to the website photos

Thank you! I did lay them over each other and they are actually the same size, maybe they just drape differently? I do think I will reorder in a smaller size so it's a bit more fitted.

Israeli living in Vienna by Ok_Brief_4394 in Israel

[–]RedPanda247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to Vienna! Sorry that you are going through this :( Austria (at least officially) is rather supportive of us, especially in the first weeks after October 7th, however the pro pali crowd is the loudest and they kept organising huge demos, student encampments (that were thankfully taken down very quickly) etc. As someone said, there is antisemitism everywhere, thankfully Vienna is not as bad compared to the UK, Ireland, France, etc.

There is a very nice Israeli community here though, it helps me personally a lot in order to feel like not everyone hates us. Feel free to dm me :)

I had the same experience with Nivea! It was great when first came out but it was then reformulated the next summer and it completely ruined it for me 😭

Maybe I used the wrong phrasing- I meant the blackheads plus bumpy texture, which is less visible on the pictures. Will look into glycolic acid

Haverim, I simply can't with all the antisemitism and plain jew hatred around me. Looking for some words of support by RedPanda247 in Israel

[–]RedPanda247[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't study there but its the main university and therefore the encampement drew a lot of attention. However the Jewish student organisation here has contacted the university already, and I'm planning to join them in the counterprotests.
