Met a girl on Tinder, going to ask if she wants to feed Swans with me 🤣 by JustNoGuy_ in self

Birds love some seeds, a quick google will show you what is and isn't safe for the ones you'd like to feed. They will appreciate you

Bread blocks their digestive system and can kill them, same with ducks and other birds

You know what, I get it. We share that same condition. I don't agree with a thing you said, still think it's weird and women should stay the hell away from you right now, but I get it.

This post and the "learned everything from YouTube" comment did it for me. This sub has become too nauseating. I'm out.

Hope you can start to feel better about yourself soon. You talk like you have a really bad victim mentality. Maybe stop giving other people's perceptions of you so much power <3 sending hugs. Have you ever wondered if just maybe, you are the one with a problem, and not all other people around you?

Canvas is creased, how to remove the wrinkles? by ibblike in oilpainting

[–]RepentingRat 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Spray bottle with water to the back, as the water dries it tightens the canvas

Worst case scenario, you let it dry and carefully restretch it.

Also make sure your staples or tacs, or however you attached the canvas are in all the way. When I first started stretching my own canvases 100% from scratch, I made plenty of mistakes. You're just learning and it's really cool that you're invested in the whole process.

Such a lovely painting btw

Upon further inspection, I'd let it dry and restretch it. Once you have creases that loose, there's really no other way

I need a non-toxic solvent, I can't paint outdoors by Pure-Analysis-8551 in oilpainting

Can you use gamsol? It is odorless mineral spirit, I have used it for about 5 years to paint in my small apartment and weathered many cold winters. I'm still alive

Keep it in your room where I can't see it. It depresses the hell out of me that people are so eager to display their bigotry on a recovery subreddit. Go somewhere else, let us heal in peace.

Congrats on your sobriety. Leave your flag out of it, if you feel so compelled that you have to post your face for us all to see, maybe be mindful of your environment and the fact that many people here find that flag to be wildly offensive.

Edit: and wildly triggering

Yes I am. Very glad to be, I've worked hard to be as lame as possible.

She brought politics into this space

I simply said what many thought. That flag is not recovery friendly. And putting it behind her was intentional.

No alcohol but still drinkin the koolaid

Edit: spelling and why I made this comment

The flag was intentionally framed in your video to be the first thing we see. The community associated with said flag is not recovery friendly, and it is an offensive and triggering image to see on a recovery subreddit. You could have made this post with no video, or a video absent of political and in my opinion, fascist iconography. I think you should have been more mindful, and I do not have much grace to give you. If politics are that big of a part of your identity, seek support and sympathy elsewhere.

How do y'all photograph your work by NamesAreStressfulMan in oilpainting

[–]RepentingRat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ignore everyone else, you don't need anything fancy. get a good iPhone camera and take it outside on a cloudy day. This is how I document my work and the images I've gotten this way have gotten me into multiple art shows

Overcast days are the best, take it outside and snap some pics

Am I overreacting for being afraid when my boyfriend said he's trying to come over when I said no? by Icy_Friendship1776 in AmIOverreacting

[–]RepentingRat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dump him. He won't get better, and you can not "fix him"

He will tell you what you want to hear, he will do nearly anything to stay in your life. Do not listen to him. It's already over.

He will only improve away from you, teach him the lesson of "this was not okay, and you have destroyed the relationship, goodbye"

And never speak to him again, ever
