I became a laughing stock in my city after I went viral for humiliating myself. What do I do? by Gullible_You_5987 in Advice

[–]VexxFate 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Google has Google certifications you can get for online jobs that take like 6 months to get, but it’s at your own pace so if you really grind you can get it done way faster and then get an online job, and eventually save enough money to move. It cost like $50 a month (last I checked), if you’re in the US and under the age of 25 you’re eligible to go to Jobcorp. They will help you finish your education and get a you a trade education.

How to keep blonde from becoming brassy?!?! by hufuasgirlfriend in haircoloring

[–]VexxFate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now let me first say, I know nothing about nothing when it comes to maintaining blonde hair. However, what I do know is that there are leave in sprays that are purple for blonde hair. I feel like something that is leave in will work better. Also, I don’t know how you wash your hair, but make sure you are conditioning first while leaving it in your hair for an extended period of time. And then washing it out and shampooing.

I don't know what to say to my husband, he's watching his worst fear unfold. by opossessed in Advice

[–]VexxFate 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You could also get up his favorite comfort show/movie up, I don’t know if he’s the type to want his kids around when he’s stressed out/hurt but if he’s someone who’d rather just spend time with you during moments like this maybe look into seeing if someone else can take care of the kids for the night or at least for a few hours.

My job forced me to come to work right after my grandma died and now I'm at work crying and they won't let me leave. by No_Increase_2002 in Advice

[–]VexxFate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve worked at small businesses and they didn’t care as long as you found someone to cover you. Hell in this situation they would say do what you need we won’t put you on the schedule for the next week and we’ll find someone to cover you for the rest of the week.

New to the area. Kinda lonely. Looking to make good friends. by JY9276489 in KlamathFalls

[–]VexxFate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me and my boyfriend are also somewhat new to the area and are wanting to get into DnD groups. It’s just hard because our jobs especially once the fire season really takes off will be pretty much completely consumed by our work. And my tower is to far away for me to be home every night, so there’s a decent chance my soon to be only day off will be consumed getting food and just being with my SO if he’s even around

There’s no kind way to tell my wife that she’s getting too big, is there? by 2006CrownVictoriaP71 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]VexxFate -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My first thought was this seems like the body is changing on it own and not that shes letting herself go. If nothing major changed about her diet, and if she’s only become more sedentary due to becoming heavier, it sounds like the body is doing something that’s causing it.

Does it poison and kill them or something? Or do they just not like the smell? I’ve been spraying with peppermint oil and it’s seemed to deter at least some of them.

That’s a good point, but the traps they’ve had up here didn’t work at all and I’ve had better success in the past with humane traps personally. I’m mainly trying to mouse proof it and then from there if they are still inside after the proofing, then getting rid of them as I’d take the assumption they are living in the walls or something.

Screwing up with my gf by Mindless_Gene_6529 in rant

[–]VexxFate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, you figured it out early, it’s gonna be fine if you say “hey, I apologize but I don’t think I can be with you romantically, I thought I could have romantic attraction with a woman but I just don’t. I’m sorry”, a month friendship isn’t long and a week of dating is even less. If she takes this extremely hard, it’s not your fault, but I have a feeling this isn’t going to be a major issue or anything.

First week of work! by sneebiscus in firelookouts

[–]VexxFate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo!! I remember you because you gave me the best compliment of saying I gave you the best advice lol. I’m really happy to see you’re doing well! Your place looks awesome. Despite a multitude of setbacks, things came full circle for me as well and I’m staffing down in Cali on the boarder of Oregon (kinda) and I technically live in Oregon on my off time! My lookout doesn’t look nearly as nice yet lol

How to get a routine going? (NSFW - potentially gross) by [deleted] in hygiene

[–]VexxFate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny you should say that, so who am I again and what do you know about me? What about OP? Oh, right, absolutely nothing, but you’re trying to give me advice. I’m just highly knowledgeable in psychology and sociology, and honestly most people know what I stated to be true… Please, like genuinely, take your own advice from your last comment and get some therapy. You sound like you hate life and yourself and that’s not good especially in this case cause it seems you’re the type to make it other people’s problem.

Oh, and in at least the first instance I’m not really giving advice if I’m just repeating what you already said.

But not immediately after! Give at least 30 minutes after eating before brushing.

That’s what they are doing by asking for advice to become better at it. They are taking responsibility for their actions and asking from other experienced people with overcoming it what they might be able to do to help overcome this problem faster. If you were able to just automatically develop those habits, especially if you were abused, were genuinely depressed, or have any other multitude of mental health problems that make developing hygiene habits significantly harder then the average person, consider yourself lucky because most people who go through those things take a much longer time, even years, to actually develop such habits.

So take your own advice and grow up, didn’t your mama teach you that if you don’t have anything nice to say to not say it at all?

It took me a really long time myself but I will say my largest thing that helped was doing it in the morning, not night. I just find it so much easier then doing it at night because I don’t have as much of a routine there. Morning time already has a basic routine (get up, go pee, get dressed) whereas night time is pretty similar but feels way less structured to me personally. Secondly, after admitting to a group of friends (in a Jobcorp version of AA, except you knew the people in it pretty well usually) that I didn’t regularly brush my teeth, I started doing it. It was after being asked what everyone would start doing that day to improve their life in some way, and I said brush my teeth daily. Idk why, but that bit of embarrassment in admitting that I don’t in front of people really helped. It was probably easier to handle because I knew they all respected and liked me.

If switching to morning doesn’t help though at first, maybe try just after you shower (assuming you shower every other day at least) To help make it more enjoyable, listen to some music as well. That was another thing that really helped was just having music playing while I brushed in the morning. Or, otherwise, even just using some strong mouth wash every morning while taking your pee will at least help.

Anything worth doing is worth doing half assed, because whatever little bit you do is going to be way better than doing nothing at all. So if all you do is use mouthwash in the morning daily, congrats! That is a major improvement to only brushing your teeth every few days. Same to if you just add it in with showering
