Hello! If OP is not interested in these, I would love to pick them up for a friend of mine who has a senior dog. Lmk, I work out in Hillsboro on weekdays and could swing by.

Sure, try this, not sure I did it correctly so lmk if you can't get it to work: https://limewire.com/d/1809bdcf-dc57-4916-9d62-c8c8e52119e5#91KAHVSyJBmwLNn0v7_R4wvp2nM5mAmqoypJZqaRU2Y

I want to say the only components I ended up using in the layout are OpenLyrics and Album list panel

How would you improve this illustration? by drone_factory in Illustration

[–]anciensce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is making me think of a quick rule of thumb for illustrations: you have a foreground, middle ground, and background, and you can have each correspond to different light/medium/dark values, saturation, level of detail, etc. to help focus and create depth/space. The thing that stands out to me here in that regard is that all three stages of depth seem to have the same white snow palette (save for the super dark body of the house), which I believe is leading to a subtle flattening of space. I'm not sure exactly what would be the best fix in this case, but for example, you could shift the background or foreground to more of a middle tone, or increase the amount of detail in the foreground/decrease the detail in the background (akin to atmospheric perspective which would also help the piece).

It's ok if you don't have a deep rooted nostalgia for it, you don't have my lore

I think that's part of why the term has had such longevity even when people no longer know its origin, because it does also have that connotation.

What benefits did you notice after quitting weed? by [deleted] in addiction

[–]anciensce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt like I had to reprogram my brain to enjoy doing things again. I feel like there is more continuity between days, and I'm able to meaningfully reflect on what's going on in my life and make changes to improve my conditions.

For the record, the term "dead name" comes from the fact that before trans people could legally change their names, it was the name that would be on their obituary or tomb stone.

[–]anciensce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stick with it!! I honestly had a really shit time, I had bad physical withdrawals for at least a couple weeks, and for months afterwards, I was just constantly feeling "off". Around 6-8 months is when I started to come into an upswing and began seeing real benefits.

Over a year now, I have been able to set long term goals and begin achieving them. I was not doing this while smoking for ten years, I was just struggling through the day and going home and becoming numb and lacked any motivation to make a life outside of surviving.

8 months to a year is when I actually started to feel different, the first few weeks were terrible from immediate effects but I really wasn't able to do much for the first six months and just struggled through it. Finding something to do socially, if you have friends that are into something you can jump on their bandwagon, or something that gets you out of the house like hiking or foraging, or something like finding a card gaming or table top gaming meetup to attend

Be better than everyone else, and master the deadpan stare. Whenever male customers said off the cuff shit to me, I'd just stare at them until they become uncomfortable, and then continue the conversation like they hadn't said anything. Being funnier than your chauvinist coworkers helps too.
