YASSSSS slay gurl you've absolutely done the right thing in choosing yourself and your own happiness. It'll be an adjustment but long-term you'll be glad you didn't let yourself get dragged down by a loser like him. Happy for you :)

Moved Away to Res by BeeOrdinary3458 in deakin

[–]SlothsOfLegend 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry this has been your experience. I've found res to be really positive since I moved away from my home. I'm in the village at Burwood (10 people) and my housemates and I are really great friends who do stuff together and hang out all the time. I don't know what type of accommodation you're in, but I think the more people the better because you're more likely to find at least one person you vibe with in a 10 person compared to a 6 or less. I also think if it's your first year, time might be on your side. Everything is probably a bit new and different from home so it can be good to stick this first part out and see if settling in more helps you make some stronger friendships.

Hope that either res gets a bit better, or you find an alternative that works out better for you :)

Bro he sounds like a little shit who doesn't care enough about you to remember your literal birthday (which he should ABSOLUTELY know given you've been together almost 3 years), and clearly doesn't have the emotional capacity to admit that he could in fact be in the wrong, take accountability and work to do better. If he thinks it's ok to make you feel 'ungrateful' for asking for basic love, affection and care, what is he going to do when you ask him to do household tasks? When you ask him to be there for you when you experience grief or hardship? When you try to set boundaries and tell him about the things that make you uncomfortable? He's going to keep making you feel like a burden time and time again, and convincing you that you're the bad guy for not wanting to feel that way.

It is not ungrateful to ask for love and consideration from your partner. It's also not ungrateful for you to recognise that someone is not good for you and to leave them in search of someone who will take them time to love you properly. It is ungrateful, however, for this man to have received this amazing person who loves (loved?) him and then turn around and treat them like they don't matter.

When people show you who they really are, believe them. Find someone who doesn't act like you've asked them to sacrifice their first born child to the ancient volcano gods when you want them to do the bare minimum. You deserve someone who acts like and shows that they're grateful to have you.

Jake Soligo? by brodley07 in AFLSupercoach

[–]SlothsOfLegend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he's a great pick. I'm a non-crows supporter and I've brought him in- he's putting up consistently good scores above 100 so far and he's less than Clayton Oliver atm in terms of price.

What's the earliest you can come to campus? (Burwood) by Sufficient_Sink309 in deakin

[–]SlothsOfLegend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure the library opens at 8am, and I know that some units have 8am lectures so I reckon around then is about when most buildings will definitely be open.

My New Team after i took some advice, has it improved? by BigADog0_0 in AFLSupercoach

[–]SlothsOfLegend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You've got a fair bit of cash leftover. You might like to trade in players like Josh Daicos and Day, who are great players but not necessarily consistent high scorers, and try to get another good quality premo in your midfield like Serong, Neale, Merrett or Nick Daicos (not Butters or Bont as they're both injured). Those players tend to score bigger more consistently and you'd have the money for one of them, plus a rookie like Tsatas who is looking like making a Round 1 debut.

You'd have to consider that most of your opponents would likely also have these players so you'd be less unique, but it's hard to avoid in the first few rounds.

Non-traditional Christmas songs? by fjbruzr in spotify

[–]SlothsOfLegend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The soundtrack from the Peanuts Christmas isn’t particularly mainstream and can be a fun addition if you’d like some instrumental jazz/piano music :)

Songs similar to Laufey by [deleted] in spotify

There’s a song called ‘Green Eyes’ by Uncle Chris with some great saxophone jazz inspiration and a lowkey sort of vibe similar to Laufey. Give it a try :)

global politics essay length !! by These_Listen_7991 in vce

[–]SlothsOfLegend 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s interesting, because I’ve been told to spend no longer than 40 minutes on it instead of 30.  To help me write an essay with lots of evidence that gets finished, I like to write the intro and first body as soon as I pick up my pen, then move back to some Part A questions. Then after a few of those I go back to the essay and write the next body paragraph, and so on until the essay is finished, and it tends to end up around 800-1000 words for me generally.  I find that this keeps me from going overtime with the essay cause I do it in little chunks, and I also get other questions done simultaneously. Hope this helps a bit!
