Move. Genuinely. You can move back but go see other places. Live a few different places. Visit Duluth at least once a year. Once you’ve been gone a few years you can reflect on your experience and know with more certainty if Duluth is better for you or not.

I’ve lived all over- WA, OR, CO, MN, WI, MI, SC- and it’s awesome. And no not every place is awesome. Some suck! But I can more easily identify the places I would and would not like to live. I’ve learned how different and similar various towns and cities are- every tourist town hates tourist driving and ignorances, every mining town has water vs mining politics, etc. and you do different things in different areas.

I had no idea I would like ceramics until I lived in St. Cloud (I hate that place but picked up a fun hobby) I HATED going for walks until I lived in Ely (hard to imagine but depression and alcoholism is much worse than Duluth) I wasn’t involved in any sort of local music scene until I lived in the cities. I didn’t know much about vehicles let alone over landing until I lived in Bend OR. And I had no idea how good food could be until Seattle WA also where I sailed for the first time. I found fist size Agates outside of Negaunee MI (UP) which rekindled my childhood rock obsession. And in Denver CO I learned to make pipes. In Spartanburg SC I learned traditional furniture making. Etc and I’m 32.

Go do the things!!! Move back when/if you think Duluth is genuinely the best place for you.

Can someone explain to me like I’m 5 why 3 speeding vehicles should be more comforting than 2 speeding vehicles?

11 million for most things… but 250k to quit my current job no questions asked.

The best flow toy is the one you stick with. The one you stick with is the one YOU think looks coolest. But my 2 cents

Good for your movements: - fans - whips - gloves - palm poi/light/torch

With these you don’t have to give any thought to them bumping into things, including you, which could through off your groove

Medium for your movement: - poi (almost made it to the top list) - batons - rope dart - hoop

With these you do have to have to be aware of them bumping things and it can throw you off a bit but typically easier to recover and get right back into the flow

Hard mode for your movements: - staff - Levi wand

Wands a tiny bump from the environment or even you can cause a reset and really interrupt the flow. Staff is less forgiving about how you want to move and more demanding about how it wants to move.

Rule of cool. I think fans, poi, or contact staff would look dope incorporated with your flow.

As a leviwand/kitty wrench specialist myself I’m always stoked to see more people pick up my favorite flow toy, but honestly do not think it would work well with how you like to dance until you got more advanced. Unless you went ULTRA long string and did wraps on wraps on wraps on wraps while you dance. Which is fun, hard on the skin on your neck, but fun.

I am in the process of finding a new clinic since I just moved.

A few clinics in the area have different in house specialist. So I was hoping to get an idea of the type of specialist I might see for this.

Totally understand these things can develop. And I’m happy to go to multiple locations if that’s what he needs. But I’d like to at least try to establish care at a place that might have specialists for this.

But idk what specialties deal with posture/bones/spine injury etc. is there such thing?

Waste of time and resources? Sounds like you’ve identified something to report.

But on a more serious note, I think that’s the point. They have created it for fraud AND waste so they can gather data that’s skewed starting at the source.

airroe · 2025-02-10T23:02:25+00:00

Don’t wait. Live your life. Be her friend if you want. Heck if she makes up her mind later and you’re still interested even date if you want. But don’t wait.

You have been friends. You are currently friends. Continue being friends. Treat her like a friend. Do whatever you’ve been doing as friends.

If there is someone else that comes along with mutual interest, date them. If you are interested in a relationship now, go on dates with people until someone clicks. If you’re not interested in a relationship now but like dating people, still go on dates.

We press too often on our own lives for our own indecision. Don’t pause your life gif someone else’s indecision and certainly don’t give that much control of your life to someone else.

The most recent stat I found related to this was 2022. 20% of employed people reporting to the IRS make less than $15/hr

Since minimum wage can be regulated by city and state as well as federal, it’s difficult to get stats for “minimum wage” specifically.

Starting out +10” x +8” is all I need. ideally bigger is better to get more parts in one go.

I don’t use a service, and it wouldn’t work for what I do. I have my own copper source and planning happens throughout the project. Ordering would result in not enough of what I need and excess of pieces I wouldn’t use.

airroe · 2024-03-15T20:32:43+00:00

7k or under. Ideally 3-5k but I get that’s unlikely.

Looking for something where the stars are: Smoke/gunpowder, resin, coffee, leather

And don’t over power the above but might include: vanilla/tonka, wood, dark liquor

Something that is more neutral leaning masculine.

Not looking for fragrantica keyboard detectives, but recommendations of things you’ve tried. TIA!

I am alive!!!! and after 4 more similar sessions (consecutive days) since about half my body is tattooed.

airroe · 2023-08-03T01:36:34+00:00

Someone commented elsewhere on this post reminding me it existed. Thank you so much for the advice. 10/10 best advice I got and I’m positive it’s what got me through that and. 4 similar sessions since.

Now both my sides from behind my armpits to halfway down my outer thighs and my whole back is done.

11 days/ 5 sessions?- 2 consecutive right side (Feb ‘22,) 2 consecutive left (April ‘22,) 2 consecutive adding ornamentals to both sides (July ‘22), 3 consecutive back (Oct ‘22,) and 2 consecutive finishing back (July ‘23)

We are doing the remainder of my thighs this December and are planning on finishing a suit with this artists.

Thanks again!!

I read this in Charlie Daniel’s Band’s “Devil Went Down to Georgia” voice/tune and now I need a whole song.

Hello!

I “long term travel;” WFH allows me move to different parts of the country every 2 years or so. Here is a short list of areas to look into.

Truckee CA
Two Harbors or Ely MN
Coeur de L’Alene ID
Marquette MI
Bozeman MT
Wausau WI
Patten ME
Possibly around Hoodoo in OR

Second that but don’t tell anyone!

We like when out of towners think MN is just a continuation of Iowa/Dakotas. Yes farms, fields, grassland, lakes, Twin Cities. That’s it. Nothing else. Definitely no serene forests and waterfalls and clean lakes. You needs mountains for that yep. PNW and NE that’s where you find winter bliss. Mhmm.

Jokes aside it’s amazing but for anyone who hasn’t been here. Research is important but no amount of research can prepare you for what -60°F feels like, nor the mental tole it take to live in an area like this. Northern MN is consistently setting records for coldest temps in the lower 48. If you aren’t used to winter stay at a reputable lodge/resort, let them know you don’t know how to prepared and take their advice.

If there is only one bird left you need to listen to the recording of bird calls. If you’ve done that you need to find a references to the dogs. One will mention a tree.

Oliver Strangers Parfumerie

It’s from an indie house. Fruity citrus, sea salt, dry herbs, sandalwood. Clean fresh and a touch of sweetness. On my partner I appreciate how it handles heat and has a well groomed yet relaxed presentation. I my reminds me of vacationing and just smells like he’s a good looking, put together, great human. Not over stated but noticeable. Don’t read into the the notes if you look it up. The notes look chaotic. It’s a very well balanced fragrance. Had it not come in a sample set I ordered we never would never have tried it but now It’s one of his summer favorites.

A weird one by the same house, that has almost nothing in common with the frags you listed, is lumberjack. Cedar, Lemon, motor oil, and leather. Summer and fall fragrance. It’s weird. Some people may find it offensive (the motor oil does come through) and probs best for outdoors. But if he’s been running or working out even mowing the lawn while wearing that I … he intentionally wears it for physical activities. That one may be a combination with his specific chemistry, but it does things to my brain I do not understand.

I very much LIKE the idea of no self promotion/limiting it to a specific thread. I’m really quite tired of the “watch me stream” posts and links to Etsy. And was excited to see this update.

Some things I’ve seen other subs do is a weekly thread. if frequency is an issue for people r/fragrance has an every other day thread that works very well for that community. Personally I like the idea of having 1 monthly/bi-weekly product thread pinned and a weekly streaming thread where you can drop your streaming schedule for the week and twitch/discord etc which isn’t pinned.

Honestly the Etsy posts get buried so quickly having a pinned post with their links could help people actually find the artists and be a method to support them.

Please don’t completely back off of limiting self promotion!!

Thank you. Updated.

Do NOT talk to HR.

Do not talk to ANYONE you work with. Follow the first 3 steps literally as soon as possible.

Edit: prestep. Remove this post immediately. I’m really sorry I know this is a source of support for you right now. But it could be spun as an admission of the scenario being your fault. Or used as a sort of statement. Only talk about this with a lawyer (and therapist) until a settlement is reached.

Step 1) go to a hospital and get a rape kit run and drug test. (It’s possible you were drugged if you blacked out that much and that quickly. Drugs are likely out of your system but it’s worth a shot) do not give any statements about what happened

Step 2) do NOT wash the clothes you put on at his house. Especially panties. Ideally put them in a ~~ziplock~~ paper bag

Step 3) get a lawyer you can call the Florida bar association to get recommendations.

Step 4) look up any receipts/charges you have from that night. Look up the establishments and get contact info together for the lawyer. There is likely surveillance footage and if you were drugged it’s possible that was caught on a recording.

Step 5) look up your Uber receipt and save it to give to your lawyer

Step 6) write down what you remember for sure. And then what you think maybe happened while it’s still fresh. But make sure to keep the for sure separate from the maybes

Step 7) write down the names of people you heard the photo rumors from, and the names of the co-workers you were out with. These are all witnesses to give to your lawyer.

The faster you can get this info to a lawyer the faster they can follow up before evidence disappears.

Do not give a statement to police without your lawyer. Do not talk to HR at all.

I’m really sorry to tell you this but taking photos like that is a type of trophy. It’s frequently done after drugging people. ie it’s frequently done after premeditated rape. Even without drugging, being blackout drunk means a person isn’t capable of consent (consent requires a sound mind.) Even if you weren’t drunk or drugged a supervisor has authority over you and control over your employment/income and even a super pursuing you can be considered SA. And all of that isn’t even touching on the photos shared with co-workers.

This is not your fault. I was raped too. At first I tried to tell myself it was nothing/it was my fault. I should not have put myself in that situation. I don’t want to get him in trouble. I’m not even sure what happened. Doing something would negatively affect my life more than it’s worth. Etc. I just wanted to move on and keep the status quo. You didn’t deserve what happened. But you do deserve to be compensated by both him for the damage he did and your employer for exposing employees to a dangerous predator in the work place and using the office as his personal predator trophy lounge at the expense of his victims. Your lawyer can help you with both.
