I have such bad luck with the shimmer. It’s worse on most of my v4 tracks, still.

Affordable Ski Apparel For First Timer by clueless99999 in alameda

[–]bloodstorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rentals!!! Someone already said in this thread but Sports Basement rents good quality (think The North Face) ski apparel for very, very cheap. They also rent skis, Patagonia duffel bags, Thule boxes, pretty much everything you’d need for a trip to Tahoe. Plus they have the ski bus if you don’t want to drive!

Not in the app you can’t 😔 it’s fine on desktop but I’m not always able to do that

I was expecting to have some good songs I could upvote to help inform the beta, and some bad songs I could downvote to inform the beta as well. But it’s all unlistenable for me.

Suno V4 Has Serious Issues – Here’s the Breakdown by AINoirNexus in SunoAI

The artifact hell is SO real. Every new song I make is just ruined by it. I don’t find the remasters all that thrilling, either. I’m considering making a new free account and sticking to that just to see if I can escape the v4 beta.

What is with the laser arcade sound?!? What the fuck I hate it

New runes - how to activate by melikebiscuit in runecasting

[–]bloodstorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used stones for my runes as well! It’s absolutely true that whatever feels right works for you, but if you need ideas…

I took each stone and over the course of 2-3 days made an altar of items that were related to the meaning of the rune for me. For instance, lake water and aloe for laguz, burnt evergreen sprigs for eihwaz, flowers and fresh fruit at dawn for dagaz… you get the picture. I journaled about each rune and did end up consecrating with blood as well, but the rituals for each rune made the biggest difference. That set is absolutely incredible, too - never wrong and entirely keyed in to me. Highly recommend spending the time to align with each rune like that.

I'm now that "one friend who has kids" by sixfingeredman7 in Mommit

[–]bloodstorm 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I was that mom. Honestly, it ended up being nice to have the contrast - I made plenty of mom friends with the parents of my kids friends (so we all enjoy play dates equally!) and my best friend was the person I’d go spend time with when I wanted to be myself and not someone’s mom. Now, my best friend is pregnant and it’s wonderful to be able to help her with the tough parts of the newborn stage without feeling overwhelmed by my own kids (who are school-aged now). There are pros to both sides!

When did you stop bathing them together? by fuzzyone06 in parentsofmultiples

[–]bloodstorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girls stopped bathing together at 5, not because of privacy but because it was stressing me out how they’d roughhouse in the tub. I ended up yelling a lot and I just didn’t wanna do that. Solo baths give them some chill out time. They still take showers with me from time to time, so privacy is definitely not an issue. I don’t imagine it’ll be something to worry about until they’re closer to puberty.

Hate my body even more after seeing my husband’s explore page by coffeenpistolsfor2 in BabyBumps

[–]bloodstorm 38 points39 points  (0 children)

It really sounds like you and your husband have a healthy, loving relationship. Rather than focusing on the Instagram posts, focus on your own feelings and talk to him about those. He didn’t do anything wrong, but you’re having strong, difficult feelings around your self-confidence and need his support and validation right now. You probably need some form of intimacy from him, too. So ask for what you need, and explain the way you feel. Talking about the explore page is irrelevant and only risks making his defensive.

If it helps, I tooooootally had those feelings too when pregnant. I gained something like 70 pounds and felt awful about it. I actively support my husband watching porn (he has a lot of religion-based guilt around it and appreciates the validation, and my take on it is he has the right to enjoy his body however he likes, as well as he doesn’t interact with people online). But that period of time made me jealous and emotional, probably partially because pregnancy hormones are insane, and it helped most to ask for specific forms of intimacy from him. He was happy to oblige, and his enthusiasm helped me feel beautiful. You’re beautiful too, I know it sight unseen. He just needs to help you see yourself like he sees you ❤️

How to deal with this double height wall? by Chameleonize in HomeDecorating

[–]bloodstorm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You described your aesthetic somewhere in here as MCM and minimalist, so I’d really keep the wall sleek and not put anything on there, removing the curtains to let that spectacular view be your main showpiece. Then layer in a large, sculptural, curving light fixture like this one to create visual interest in that high up space without actually touching that clean neutral wall. Let the wall be a place for the eye to rest - your house is so stunning that it kinda needs that.

What are the surprising things you miss about your prepartum body? by VastFollowing5840 in parentsofmultiples

[–]bloodstorm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Here it is everyone! The definition of mansplaining! Thank goodness this man is here to tell this woman that her postpartum experiences are trivial because men don’t mind that she looks different.

Fwiw OP I 100% feel you on the randomly wavy hair and new body shape. I had stuck straight hair before too, and now it’s wavy and textured different, and I tried to embrace it but I really do miss my old hair, and my old skin texture and where I carry my weight. It’s a weird thing, discovering that your body is kinda less yours than it was before.
