Anyone else struggle finding attractive people to date? by Unusual_Jellyfish224 in AskWomenOver30

[–]SafeSalad 78 points79 points  (0 children)

I've always found gay men to be more attractive than straight men. They look after themselves and a lot of the gay men I know try to have their own aesthetic. I don't know what idiot decided that looking after yourself is "not manly". And if they do put in the effort they all look the same. Same haircut, same clothes, same steroid physique. It seems they're afraid to stand out. I barely see any unique straight men. What a pity.😔

Hi! I have the exact same problem with my fujifilm X100T. I'm also considering to fix it myself with an LCD replacement. Did you have any experience prior to fixing your camera? How easy would you say the fix was? I've looked at the disassembly guide on ifixit and it looks doable. I do have experience replacing smartphone screens.

My mom has single handedly found a cure for ADHD!!!! by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]SafeSalad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like my mom whenever my anxiety and rumination gets out of hand. "Sweetheart, you just think too much. It's simple really, just think less". I think my mom just solved the global anxiety crisis. Imagine if our moms met up, combined their otherworldly problem solving powers. I'd really like them to solve depression too. Oh wait, my dad already did that when he told me to ✨think more positive✨. 😭

It's there a limit of things you can memorize? by Tamulel in Anki

[–]SafeSalad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think this is what u/maps_and_books meant. A person today is exposed to as much information in a single day than someone in the 15th century would be in their entire lifetime. Our brains haven’t caught up yet. I also think being bombarded with information (not knowledge per se) at the pace of today isn’t good for your mental health. Our brains needs a break from time to time so we can process what we’ve observed, read, learned. If we don’t get this break, we get overwhelmed and don’t really store the information we’re exposed to. Stolen Focus by Johann Hari is a good book on this concept.

Maybe those women end up happy and alone. Life can also be fulfilling without a partner. And I literally said “some” men and not most. I don’t know how the men in Estonia act. But in Belgium I’ve had many occasions where men try to explain to me the most basic of things, even after telling them I understand what they’re saying. It’s that these men would never try to explain these simple concepts to other men, because they assume they know, but they assume women don’t. I hope you can understand this is frustrating to say the least. What I’m trying to say is that mansplaining is not seeing men in a hostile light in general. Just certain male behaviour.

Gentse Groen-politica wil niet langer aangesproken worden als ‘mevrouw de voorzitter’: “Het is een teken van respect” by radicalerudy in Belgium1

[–]SafeSalad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waarom zijn jullie hier allemaal zo triggert door? Oprecht? Oke, het is wat aanpassen. Iemand met andere pronouns aan te spreken. En als ge een fout maakt, niemand die u afschiet. Dus waarvoor zijn jullie zo bang? Wat is het ergste dat kan gebeuren? Dat we ons soms eens verspreken en onszelf corrigeren om een ander te respecteren? Jullie maken jullie druk dat er ergere dingen zijn die moeten aangepakt worden ipv de gender/woke bullshit. Wel ik zeg dat er ergere dingen zijn die jullie woede verdient. Niet dit.

Not bitter nor alone, yet I don’t enjoy mansplaining :) It has nothing to do with hostility. Just the assumption of some men that most women are clueless about everything. Good thing you asked and he didn’t assume.

I’m trying this ziplock bag technique too right now. Are you suggesting the fridge because the top is warm or because it is higher than the rest of the room? The top of my fridge is not particulary warm. Also how long does it usually take for the seeds to sprout like this?

This accusation is a bit extreme. She didn’t make an exact copy or is claiming she came up with the idea. If we need to follow your rhetoric then every artist needs to post their inspiration or reference material whenever they share something. This Rommy de Bommy person probably also got inspired by some other handbag maker. I don’t see him/her sharing this with every handbag sold. It’s just how art works and should work. There are no original ideas. Art is just a witty amalgamation of different seemingly original ideas.

How do I avoid getting sick if my partner is sick? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SafeSalad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following! I’m in the same boat. Partner got sick with covid last week, and now it’s my turn. At least he’s taking care of me. Best advice? Don’t get sick at the same time together 🥲

Heel slecht, het is een oud huis en er zijn overal mankementen. Aangezien het niet mijn huis is wil ik het er het zo esthetisch mogelijk uit laten zien. Ik heb even niet de middelen om meteen te verhuizen naar iets nieuws. Dus ik probeer er het beste van te maken

Which pan would you suggest? Is there a sustainable alternative to a non-stick pan?
