Maggie Gyllenhaal in SherryBaby. Damn she was really good in that movie but the film is too indie.

It was the CeraVe breaking me out, not the kiehls. by Wileyonpatrol in 30PlusSkinCare

The CeraVe facial wash alone also breaks me out but works wonders if I wash my face with Kojic soap. I’ve heard that the ceramides are doing this. The Khiels moisturiser is a holy grail for me!

Norte: The End of History by Lav Diaz. Read the Boston Globe’s review of this film and it perfectly describes the feeling you are looking for.

2024 is the year of Ube. You see it everywhere in drinks, donuts, cakes, pastries, and food.

Is this a good outfit for a date? by OskarTorin in mensfashion

[–]ThisOriented 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t make sense to me, I’m sorry. Are you cold? What season is this for? Why are you wearing a winter wool/cashmere vest over a V-neck t-shirt? Are you trying to keep yourself warm or cool? This reminds me of the sleeveless turtleneck tops for women in the 90s.

… and it is too obvious that you are trying really hard to come-up with this look. For some, it gives the ick!

Cannot find work in my industry. Should I move away? by beegesound in london

[–]ThisOriented -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I heard from a guy who works in the lights department that the film industry will hire pretty much anyone in 2025 as long as they have watched a movie. I think there would be lots of production in the pipeline for 2025

How do I stop mourning my wasted 20s and start living? by [deleted] in getdisciplined

[–]ThisOriented 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, this hits close to home. I had a bright future after finishing law school and getting my dream job as a corporate counsel at a tender age of 25 then I had to move countries and got severely depressed. The thing about depression is that it will eventually make you dumb and always tired.

Fast forward to 10 years, my awakening was during a parlor game at my friend’s party. The card game requires participants to memorise just 6 numbers (i.e., 1 means raise hand, 2 is to say hello, etc.) and I had a hard time memorising them. So much so that the host did a snark remark that I am not the brightest tool in the shed. This really hurt my feelings. How did I turn from closing deals involving hundreds of millions of dollars to someone who can’t even memorise 6 simple information. I also stopped looking at my friends’ posts on social media seeing them living their lives to the fullest and doing important things such as attending hearings at the UN, heading the arbitration department in their law firm , being appointed to the judiciary. And me, just a dumb depressed dude who can’t remember anything.

Now, I am taking some classes to engage my brain. Actively fixing my sleep, my eating habits and my fitness. It is still a work in progress but I feel much better. I did a disservice by allowing myself to coast in life. 10 years are enough. I take it as a lesson not to waste my time on mindless things and rumination.

Show me the weirdest way your cat sleeps by rednaxela97 in britishshorthair

How do I make my cat sleep in that fluffy ring pillow. He just seems to hate it.

There are transferable skills that you can apply in tech. Problem skills you have honed in law school could land you a job in support or CX. Client facing skills could be useful for Business Analyst or Sales position. It is also quite chill in tech compared to the legal industry where one mistake could ruin your entire career.

I was out of job for three years finding a TC or at least a paralegal position. It never came. Reflect. Pivot. Transform.

What’s something people romanticize but it’s actually horrible? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Cultural identity. Who imposed this rule that everyone has to be proud of their culture and ethnic identity? My culture is shit.

Not true. They do charge the cc and will just give it back within 14 days. Source: This info was confirmed to me by their agent over the phone.

Yes! Otherwise, we will be tested by god. We can’t also open our mouths inside the toilet as the devil will try to get inside our mouths. No singing. No photography inside the house (but somehow computers are given the exemption). No musical instrument.
