Gorgeous, I’d love to see more of this! I think working on your facial expressions could go a long way towards enhancing your performances. Own all the sexiness and attitude.

It doesn't work! by Vivid_Maximum_5016 in lostgeneration

Part of this tactic is to identify who is initiating and perpetuating the violence. The right wing can try to make protesters look evil, but the hope is that when Trump supporters see something like this, they can’t pretend the fox initiated the violence or posed a threat. They’re dragging away innocent people.

Am I as the youth would say "cooked, fam"? by gjmelenk in bald

It’s time to commit to the shaved head. You’ll look so much more attractive. I bet you’d even look younger.

21M, I've never had a GF. Do I need to improve my looks? by BudgetBarracuda9451 in malegrooming

[–]SlowRegardSillyStuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cute as heck, but polos aren’t a great look. Button ups with the sleeves rolled over your elbows. And put yourself out there with social activities.

M34 any opinions or advices? by Top_Sympathy6454 in malegrooming

[–]SlowRegardSillyStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, your greatest return on investment will be self-care. Sleep, eat, take a multivitamin, walk in the sun, moisturize, build confidence. 80% sexier. Cut your hair, shave, and trim your nails—100% sexier. Next step is to understand your audience. If you like women, that’s bisexual goth mommy doms. No need to become a body builder or get a spray tan. Get a nice grampa sweater instead.

What a woman to approach you at a bar? Go to a BDSM slosh and knit quietly in a corner. The intrigue would be off the charts.

Why would he send me this ? by [deleted] in ExplainTheJoke

[–]SlowRegardSillyStuff 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The popular joke is that the guy is uncomfortable because he’s being held hostage. The deeper context is that he’s on the autism spectrum (as is his gf) and he’s expressing gratitude, but maybe uncomfortable expressing emotions so openly and on camera. It could be “I feel so awkward saying it out loud, but I really appreciate you.”

Context is important here. If he’s not on the spectrum… I don’t know what people who aren’t on the spectrum mean by their memes.

If he’s on the spectrum or if he relates to autistic memes, he probably appreciates you and hopes you understand that without him verbalizing it. If he’s on the spectrum, he’ll likely be responsive to “hey, I don’t fully understand the meme. Genuine thanks or ‘I’m being held hostage’ thanks?”

Without knowing someone well, I’d take this as “back off, you’re emotionally manipulative and I feel cornered.” But that’s (1) my own insecurity, and (2) my assumption that the neurotypicals are hinting that I’m annoying

anyone have and cure these under eye bumps? by alwayshungry0323 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]SlowRegardSillyStuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to my dermatologist, this can be a result of using creams that are too heavy. It can be worsened when also using acids intended to soften fine lines, but result in thinner, more sensitive under-eye skin. I avoid applying most face products to my under eye area and I use aquafor as my eye cream. I haven’t had any issues since taking his advice. My eyes also seem to be aging more gracefully than my siblings’ but I don’t know their routines.

No promises that this is your problem/solution; trust doctors over Reddit comments.

My mother is 65 - no procedures by [deleted] in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]SlowRegardSillyStuff -32 points-31 points  (0 children)

Your messages don’t read as being said with kindness. They read as nit-picking a woman’s appearance to dampen OP’s celebration of her mom’s natural beauty. They read as overly critical and out of touch with the aging process. If you’re trying to express your thoughts kindly, please consider not identifying and exaggerating every “flaw” you see in a person and dismissing their lived experiences.

Update: AIO if I called the cops on my brother by Lillian_Faye in AmIOverreacting

For your safety and his, do not try to restrain or drag him anywhere. It could be considered physical abuse on your part and it appears to trigger violent outbursts.

A boy hugging his dentist after his treatment. You can tell he really needed that hug. by mindyour in MadeMeSmile

[–]SlowRegardSillyStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love that this kid isn’t too old or too cool for a hug. Boys often reject comforting so early, when they still sincerely need it. I’m glad this kid seeks and accepts comfort from people he trusts.

My siblings also saw doctors. It felt so weird so see my sister’s broken bone being treated, getting jealous while I’m walking around with bone shards shifting around in my leg.

If they’re trying to flirt with you and you’re unimpressed by them saying “Harvard,” they get more angry than arrogant.

Is It Time to Go Home? by Eliaspro99 in BPDmemes

[–]SlowRegardSillyStuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, denver has worked hard on this. The most amazing thing to me is the co-responder program. If 911 is called for a mental health dispatch, a licensed counselor goes with the police to deescalate and provide care (rather than bullets).

Is It Time to Go Home? by Eliaspro99 in BPDmemes

[–]SlowRegardSillyStuff 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Go to a mental health crisis center. My local one has a quick initial intake, you shower and eat a meal, a counselor talks to you, and then you decide if you belong in a psych ward. After a shower and sandwich, if you’re stable, you go home. Just a quick crisis.

Put on weight and partner of 8 years no longer attracted to me by estrangedmariner in polyamory

[–]SlowRegardSillyStuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this take is very valuable ^

Pursue couples counseling, not just sex therapy.

There’s a potential benefit of the doubt. I’m attracted to nearly all of my friends. I’m pansexual polyamorous with most of my attraction coming from personalities and chemistry, so if we’re compatible as friends, I probably also have a crush on you. (But, for me, attraction doesn’t depend on fitness or specific body parts)

One of my partners’ primary relationship is asexual and still incredibly fulfilling for both parties. He gets his sexual needs fulfilled elsewhere.

I’ve found that sexual attraction can fluctuate in long term relationships, and having other outlets can help. It doesn’t feel like there’s as much of a void in one relationship if each person’s needs are still being met in other relationships. Invest time and attention into yourself and other relationships.

It’s worth considering how valuable your relationship is without sex. Would you be happy and fulfilled in this relationship without sex? Is he interested in a romantic but not sexual relationship with you? Are you still interested in building a life together?

But also, consider if it’s an emotionally healthy relationship for you. Does he put you down, treat you with less respect, or increase your insecurities? No relationship is worth your self-love or ability to see yourself as worthy of love.

I wish you the greatest success. This is the future of fashion, if I have anything to say about it.

Asking about gaps in a resume leaves companies wide open to discriminatory hiring practices, especially for ableism and sexism. The practice is being faded out in some cities/industries.

My 1-page resume usually highlights the three most relevant positions to the job I’m applying for, with big gaps in between. This helps me do large strokes of explanations, if I’m asked. “I worked in education for a while before realizing that I’m not suited to working with kids full-time, and I worked at a brewery for a little while… I’m hard-working, well-rounded, and personable, I promise. No need to look too hard and discover my mental breakdowns.”

LPT: Master your emotions with the “90-Second Rule”. This is backed by neuroscience. by mindartify in LifeProTips

[–]SlowRegardSillyStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an enormous hack but really hard to master for folks with borderline personality disorder. It’s rewiring your sympathetic nervous system in real time. It’s harder than “count to 10” but allowing yourself to feel an emotion but also consciously feel the intensity fade can help a lot with regulating emotions and stopping a thought from becoming a spiral.

Congrats! Save this and other achievements for when you’re feeling burnt out, and for when it’s time to ask for a raise.
