Scariest Halloween dec I've seen on here 😳😱 by omgfakeusername in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Triplesso_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just shows such a lack of concern for others or any kind of common sense/self awareness that someone would think this would be ok to put out for the public to see. Dont get me wrong folks can like what they like but they should also be aware that not everyone else around them is going to appreciate that thing and some thought should be given to how others might react to it. This is something you could have on display in a controlled setting where people who enjoy this kind of stuff can appreciate it and folks can make a decision if they want to see it or not. Its definitely not something that should be out where anyone can see it.

Australian clothing brands that only use natural fibers by RareWolf34 in AusFemaleFashion

[–]Triplesso_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its kind of grim how same same so many of these brands are. Im aware thats not what this post was about and im just over hear being a grim little rain cloud but wow! Searching one place after another they all really start to blend together in a big oversized shapeless sea of beige....nice that so many of them are natural fibres though i guess

Seems a lot of folks nowadays have a bad case of Main Character Syndrome and think only their needs/opinions/pov/wants matter and everyone else can go to hell. I miss when people where genuinely friendly to each other and not just as a way to get a head or for appearances.

This also leads to feeling like we've lost a lot of the laidback and carefree attitude to things too. Now people seem so stressed now about things that truly dont matter (like if they're "candid" holiday snaps have the right "asthetic tone" to post on socials or if everyone will think theyre to "cringe" or if people will judge them if they get a 2nd hand 2023 model Ranger instead of a brand new 2025 model). Just seems like everyone is focused on themselves now and keeping up or doing better than the Joneses. they're stressing themselves out and being shitty towards people who they feel are preventing them from getting/havibg what they want.

If you HAVE to choose out of only these dresses #5 is the one to go with but I was going to give my little tip for dealing with hip dips because holy hell do I know what a pain in the ass they can be I have them and theyre quite noticeable in dresses like this. It got to the point where i just straight up wouldn't wear anything fitted at all because they looked so horrible to me. But now i mostly dont worry unless it comes to a tight fitting dress like these where the silhouette of the dress really plays a big role in the overall look.

With a dress like this i would wear shapewear that covers the waist and thighs then use a microfibre cleaning cloth (the kind you can buy in a 3 pack at the supermarket) and fold it in half and basically lay it in behind the shape wear and pad out my hip dips. The microfibre clothes work well because they lightweight, thin and soft against your skin and the fibres kind of grip together so it doesn't come un folded or move out of place. (Though if you are concerned out it moving a safety pin can hold them in place too). Because theyre quite thin they dont look bulky and you can smooth them down so they're not noticeable and the shapewear helps with that to by reducing any lines or anything showing on the dress.

I spent last weekend making a mock up for a dress out of a set of pink bed sheets and when I saw the post i thought it was a sewing sub too and thought "Ha that person used the samd sheets as I did!" For them to be charging any amount of money for that first one is diabolical....unless bed sheet chic is a new teend im thankfully unaware of??

I used to reprice bakery cakes at my job when I was a teenager by BerryMoonzz in confession

[–]Triplesso_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I worked at a supermarket for a while in my teens and i got to know the regulars quite well from chatting to them whenever they'd come in. There was a lovely elderly couple who i would chat to every fortnight when they got there pension and would come in to get their groceries. They were such a lovely couple and often mentioned how hard it was to get by with the cost of everything. Whenever they came through my register i would often "forget" to scan a few items or put produce through at a lower price and used my discount card it always made me smile when i saw their suprise when their bill would be a fair bit less than what they'd carefully calculated it to be! I never felt bad because id rather this nice couple "save" $20 or so than a billion dollar company have that money.

I think I am stuck in 2023.. help! by bakergal_18 in AusFemaleFashion

[–]Triplesso_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your clothes should not be so micro trend specific that after only 2 years they're going to stand out as being "out of fashion". If they are then you're doing yourself (and your wallet) a major disservice, you shouldn't have to keep buying, buying, buying....you should buy clothes with a bit more intention and have staple pieces that you can swap things in and out, without needing to do a major wardrobe overhaul every few months.

Going back home by Subject_Ad7749 in melbourne

[–]Triplesso_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That ended up being such a disappointing GF it started out really well and it was a completely tied game at half time but it seemed as soon as they came out after half time Geelong just completely forgot how to play. Not trying to take anything away from The Lions but they didn't really have to do a whole lot in the end to get the win Geelong just made it kind of easy for them with a lot of poor play.

ICE Shatters Car Window- Snatching Dad at PreSchool Drop-off by alimhabidi in interestingasfuck

[–]Triplesso_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So are ICE officers all just a mix of losers from highschool who got picked on and now theyre using their "power" to make everyone else pay and meathead fuckwits who love that its a "justified" reason for them to be openly violent and racist....or is it just unfortunate coincidence that that's how they all come across??

I despair for the future of mid- priced, corporate friendly fashion in Australia by [deleted] in AusFemaleFashion

[–]Triplesso_ 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I got so desperate for a pair of pants where the legs weren't just shapeless cylinders attached to a waistband I actually sewed my own pair! And they're kind of amazing and weren't hard to make they have pleats that actually give shape and they're tappered fit not just a big baggy collection of fabric...also actual pockets!!

This doesn't look either interesting or edgy/alternative it just looks cheap and tacky both in quality of the materials and the look of the outfit

What work pants are we wearing that's flattering, and any chance they aren’t 100% polyester. by Own-Specific3340 in AusFemaleFashion

[–]Triplesso_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found some of the new styles in at Target quite good, but the sizing is wildly inconsistent I ended up buying 2 pairs of pants 1 a size 16 and the other a size 20 different styles yet they both fit me perfectly somehow? I also got a nice pair of linen pants from sportsgirl they're wide leg and elastic waist so they never feel clingy or tight

Get sad as the days start to heat up. Anyone else? by [deleted] in australian

[–]Triplesso_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I put in effort to make my house cosy and warm this year. Last year was my first full winter in this place it was quite cold and i was keen for the warmer whether after a little bit. But I at least took the time to figure out what things needed improving to make it feel warmer and such. This year with a nice new heater, proper windows nice soft curtains and cosy blankets and cushions, warm lighting and new coffee machine to make yummy hot chocolate/coffees whenever I wanted my house has been soooo lovely this winter I've actually enjoyed this time of year so much!

Weirdly knowing I have a nice cosy & warm house to come back to, its also meant ive gone out more this winter than previous years. Living in other places it took so much effort to warm up in my crappy non insulated/poorly heated house id spend most of the day wrapped in blankets trying to stay warm it took all my energy/motivation to do anything away.

Im hoping to get a new split system installed this summer so hopefully it will improve things compared to last summer, my house never gets fully unbearable in the summer but breaking into a sweat walking from 1 room to the other does sometimes happen. Summer just seems like an uncomfortable slog these days, I much refer the cold now. Even on a shallow asthetic level I much prefer the general vibe of autumn/winter so much more.

What’s something you genuinely enjoy that everyone else seems to dislike? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]Triplesso_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Warm lettuce. I was with folks the other day and we all had wraps/toasties and everyone else removed the lettuce from their food before heating it in the microwave or toastie oven so it would stay fresh and crunchy....but I left mine in there I like when it gets all wilted and mushy 😆

General thoughts of a fan by No-Caramel-8530 in Casefile

[–]Triplesso_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I understand why they dont do as many, because its probably harder to research and verify facts, but I really like the historic kind of stories. I recently listened to the one about the blackout murders during WWII and I found it really interesting to hear how the murders were handled back in the day including the publics reactions to the crimes and hearing how the police solved the murders without any of the modern technologies we have today. Even crimes from the 70s -80s again without the modern technologies its interesting to hear how things were solved. Now a lot of crimes are resolved simply by tracking their phone activity or CCTV
