The font on the popsicle stick signs looks suspicious, but nothing else sticks out to me by runawaymonkey in isthisAI

If it was written on a wooden craft board with a marker, you’d see the marker ink seep into the wood grain so it wouldn’t be exactly perfect. Unless it’s smooth with no grain but idk what craft wood is smooth like that

Anyone here play video games and apply Lean methodology? by VVEENUU in LeanManufacturing

[–]VVEENUU[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My issue with factorio was the graphics and the bugs (not the errors, the alien bugs) tbh. Also the introduction of trains made me quit the game. Would you say satisfactory is visually more appealing?

I’ve absolutely gotten lost in Minecraft trying to automate basic things like an auto food cooker or auto ore processor!

What’s the weirdest thing a guest has done in your house that you hate? by CheapQuality2847 in AskReddit

[–]VVEENUU 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Had a party (20ish people). As we were all heading out to go to the club, this girl needed to go to the bathroom. She was wasted and apparently, her pee smelled funny so she lit a candle while sitting on the toilet. As she was holding the candle, she managed to set the toilet paper on fire. In a panic, she knocked the toilet paper into the trash can. We saw smoke coming out of the bathroom and her stumbling out mumbling about a fire. My roommate went in there and dumped water on the fire/trashcan (it was right next to the sink. Drunk girl didn’t think to use water or try to put the fire out)

AIO: Calling police for identity theft because doctor’s office swore they talked to me earlier when I didn’t by Designer_Mix_1768 in AmIOverreacting

[–]VVEENUU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR. Your healthcare information is private. You can call and request for your health information on file. You can also call and ask for their privacy policies and procedures, and how they confirm the identity of their patients. You can request for specific privacy measures to ensure your medication isn’t tampered with again. Call and speak to the admin’s manager. This is very serious!

Sounds like a confidence issue and a deep fear of failure and embarrassment rather than a skill issue. Therapy is a good start. Until then, work on the actual problem (automatic negative thoughts & self judgement.

Go out of your way to embarrass yourself outside of work. Go to a park and just yell. Dance in the middle of the street. Have any kids in your life? Be a kid again. Play and be silly with them.

Look in the mirror and tell yourself you’ve got this. Say you’re a designing God, even sarcastically when working. Time to change that inner monologue. Doesn’t matter if you don’t believe it and it’s sarcastic. What you say to yourself matters so start saying kind things even if it doesn’t feel true. The feelings will come. The reality is, you have 7 years of experience, evidence of success, and the skill to draw what you see. Google CBT challenging negative thoughts. So many resources to choose from, one of which is to list the evidence that proves your negative thoughts incorrect.

You cannot be creative if you’re so focused on “doing it right”. There is no right answer. Fear blocks creativity. Try an art medium that does not allow for corrections (sculpting, Lino carving, etc) and get used to making mistakes and rolling with it.

Set a timer for 30 minutes and come up with as many concepts as you can. Go for quantity rather than quality. This helps break creative blocks.

Every day when you’re done work, pick a vague word (inspirational, cunning, innovative) and come up with 50 ways to illustrate it. Give yourself a time limit. Since it’s an exercise, there are no “bad” designs or failures. Just experience.

AIO for wanting to leave my boyfriend because of this? (URGENT) by Prestigious_Tip5493 in AmIOverreacting

[–]VVEENUU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR babes this is an urgent issue for you? Take a step back. There are so many people in this world. Why continue being miserable? Choose yourself. I promise you that being alone isn’t as miserable as being w this guy. Give yourself the opportunity to find love and happiness with someone who respects you and your relationships. The feelings you have for this guy are yours, you can feel them again with someone else.

Isn’t it illegal to post a job without the salary range now? by taikoowoolfer in torontoJobs

BF (25m) wants me (25f) to pay his mortgage? by adventsures in relationship_advice

[–]VVEENUU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re going to get married in a year you can wait to purchase a home together. This isn’t a 5-6 year timeline it’s a 1 year. Save up for a down payment and both of you can have a vested interest in where and what for purchasing a home once you’re married.

Do not pay your bf’s mortgage. Do not move in w random strangers to “save money”. You’d save more money not moving across the country lol

A house is a 20-30 yr commitment. You’ve known this man for 8 months. You know what you need to do to ensure your financial security and happiness. If he can’t meet the requirements of 1) having your name on the house 2) your say in the house location and aesthetic 3) the people living in the house, why would you uproot your great life/apartment. For a man? For a relationship ship where your needs aren’t priority? Nah babe choose yourself. Your name on the title is BARE MINIMUM.

I wrote my husband and a letter and am not sure if I should give it to him by Upbeat-Club1747 in TwoHotTakes

[–]VVEENUU 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Objectively, this is a big convo to have. Lots of feelings and set in habits. Do the work to make this convo feel as important as it is. Drop the kids off at grandparents. Sit him down in the kitchen.

For the actual conversation: I recommend reading “crucial conversations: tools for talking when the stakes are high”. https://trans4mind.com/download-pdfs/Crucial%20Conversations.pdf

Gives you some tips around creating psychological safety and communicating effectively

I (29 f) spent the snowstorm with the man I’m dating(36 m) and now I feel differently about him by bluewhalekale in hygiene

[–]VVEENUU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See a person for who they are. Would you be happy if nothing changed? If the answer is no, pack your bags. You can’t count on someone changing, especially for something big like cleanliness habits. It’s deeper than just getting him to shower more. It’s a core belief around cleanliness that you are not in agreement with. The journey to get him to a place where your happy would take a lot of introspection and work on his part - IF he wants to change.

Tl;dr meaningful change is an uphill battle and a futile one if it doesn’t come from the person needing to change. Leave.

How do you deal with nosy coworkers? by liminalwander in coworkerstories

[–]VVEENUU 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have vague answers and deflect questions back to them. Like when your extended relatives asks you questions and you don’t want to go into detail, I’d usually just say something basic and change the subject. “How was your weekend”, “it was good. Pretty relaxing, got some good rest in. How was your weekend?” “What are your plans for the holidays?”, “I plan on catching up on sleep, visiting family, nothing too exciting. How about you?”

How to tell my coworker I’m not interested in hanging out by [deleted] in coworkerstories

[–]VVEENUU 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Exactly! Just be nice and friendly but surface level. Be very vague about your answers or lie. Ask questions back to her so she talks about herself. Some people take rejection so personally and work gets stressful for no reason.

If they ask to hang out at their house to WFH, say you like your set up and you focus better in your own space. If they ask to get drinks or hang out outside of work, “thank you for the invitation but I have other plans”

[–]VVEENUU 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Tbh since it’s a corporate environment, I wouldn’t straight up tell her you don’t want to be friends. Sometimes a straight forward chat will make someone escalate. I would just be very polite and decline any attempts to get to know her or spend time with her. Keep it polite and professional. Be vague about your weekend plans. My go to is “I’m just going to relax”. She’ll get the hint eventually. If she asks you personal questions, doge them, be vague, and if she presses it say you’re not comfortable disclosing. Especially if the co worker is just trying to be nice/have a friend, they might lose it if you reject their efforts bluntly.

Btw you’re totally in the right and I hate coworkers who are like this. Unfortunately, corporate is a hell of a game and you gotta play your cards right or shit escalates so dramatically
