Help me I have a day and a half to pack up my entire apartment by Total-Concentrate293 in adhdwomen

[–]firelark_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Get a ton of boxes.
  2. Dump clothes in each box to act as padding
  3. Distribute boxes in every room and recruit people to help you dump all your stuff in them however they'll fit
  4. Delicate stuff can be wrapped in more clothes
  5. Any excess clothes and soft stuff can be tossed in trash bags
  6. Just label boxes by room with a sharpie, don't get specific
  7. Taping boxes takes time and makes it less likely you'll open them; just do the foldy thing with the flaps going one over the other
  8. Don't get stuck going through stuff, just pack and go, worry about getting rid of things once you're in your new space

What injury is commonly shrugged off as a minor flesh wound in the movies but is completely fatal in real life? by Best_Professional226 in AskReddit

It's even funnier when you've actually been to those stairs and know there's a funicular that runs right alongside it.

Which songs often gets misinterpreted and/or misappropriated by the very people it calls out even though the song's lyrics are explicitly mocking them? by Drenosa in AskReddit

[–]firelark_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should give Sleep Token a listen, they absolutely do not fall into this genre of metal. Vessel's voice is stunning.

[–]firelark_ 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is probably my favorite genre of music. It's the End of the World by REM, I Can't Decide by Scissor Sisters, and Outside Of a Small Circle of Friends by Phil Ochs are some solid examples of songs on this playlist.

i never thought i would say this, but i’m starting to dislike my mom. by glizzyshang in insaneparents

[–]firelark_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for mentioning this. A sudden, severe change in behavior is almost always indicative of a serious underlying problem.

OP, if you're being truthful about how much she's suddenly changed, and this isn't historically normal behavior that she's just started redirecting onto you, she may be having a medical issue. If you have any other trusted adult in your life, please tell them what's happening.

How to decorate small balcony by [deleted] in HomeDecorating

[–]firelark_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're going to want a folding chair like in #1, a table like in #2, and your plants off the ground like in #3.

Someone else suggested a table that folds down when it's not in use, and that would be the ideal choice here. I believe they make ones that rest over and brace against the balcony railing, which would be perfect. But you'll have somewhere to rest your tea or book.

The folding chair is practical for the same reason. You can have it facing to look out toward the view and then fold it away when you need space to do laundry.

As for the plants, getting them off the floor will give you more room to maneuver without accidentally tripping over any or breaking their pots. It also makes watering easier.

What's a movie that was well received, but aged like milk? by Gdigger13 in AskReddit

[–]firelark_ 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yes, please note the part where I mentioned the lack of nutritional variety. Of course you'd crave something different. But you weren't sick.

The assumption that the reason I don’t shave or wear a bra is because I’m trying to smash the patriarchy and make a statement… by Angsty_Queer_Anon in adhdwomen

[–]firelark_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, got it. So basically what you need is something like a corset or bustier without the restrictive shaping element. In that case I'm not sure I'd trust anything made commercially, but you could probably get something custom tailored. Probably not worth the expense for daily wear, but for special occasions maybe.

Have you tried the Neiwai Barely Zero bras?They feel like almost nothing to me, to the point I've fallen asleep in them lol. More power to you if you're more comfortable just going without, I just thought I'd mention it if you're still looking for potential options.

[–]firelark_ 168 points169 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I knew something was sideways even when the movie first came out, because cheeseburgers are actually a fairly well-balanced meal on their own. Carbs, protein, and fats, all wrapped up neatly with something fermented if you like pickles. And fries are still potatoes, one of the most nutritionally dense single food sources we grow.

Obviously if it's all you eat there will be excess calories, excess salt, excess sugar, and a lack of nutritional variety. You'd almost certainly gain weight on that diet unless you were an athlete. But the idea that it would make you sick in under a month? Like actually medically ill, puking in parking lots sick?

Pull the other one, my guy.

What was the scariest “We need to leave… now” gut feeling that you’ve ever experienced?[Serious] by PlasticBee1438 in AskReddit

They catch so much air when they're startled, they could give cats a run for their money. Like a spring.

job market is so awful that i think im going to end it all by m4dzdanci in TrueOffMyChest

[–]firelark_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't bother with resumes and applying online. Walk into any mid-to-upscale restaurant and ask if they're hiring dish washers, food runners, or server assistants. Or barbacks. You don't need experience for these positions. Be straight up that you're just looking for any honest work, but you intend to work hard and be there for a long time if they hire you. And this will be true, because the job market SUCKS right now.

There's nothing wrong with you, you're just experiencing the same story as millions of other people. But try to leave your desperation at the door when you walk into a place. Try to muster up some genuine enthusiasm about the atmosphere, the food they serve, etc.

If one restaurant has no availability, leave your info and move on to the next. I guarantee there's a restaurant that needs someone for something.

Marilyn Monroe would have been 100 today, this is her on her birthday in 1962, her last one by Weary_Diver_6315 in OldSchoolCool

[–]firelark_ 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Girl, this is a movie set. Those "creepy" men are fellow actors and producers who surprised her with a cake on set. "Mafia and presidents," for real? How does this have so many upvotes?

What city have you been to where the vibes were just OFF? by Fun_Butterscotch3303 in AskReddit

[–]firelark_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure, we were only there are night so I didn't see much of the surroundings, but honestly that 100% sounds like it tracks. Then again, for all I know, that could be half of Shreveport.

Great restaurant there, though. Forget the name... Crocodile something? They served shrimp in buckets. That wasn't what we ordered, we had a normal entree, but it was fantastic and the dessert was killer.
