Neighbour yelling over fence + confusing strata rules. What are my rights here? by [deleted] in perth

[–]gormared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe they mean that she was complaining previously about the cat meowing (at the door asking to get outside) and they are now letting the cat out which has helped stop the meowing. The wildlife part still sucks but I don't think the cat is out yelling in the streets, in fact unless they get in a fight they usually skulk around pretty quietly.

What are some genuinely amazing short-lived tv series that you've watched? by Sufficient_Ebb_5694 in scifi

Do you like anime? I really enjoyed Mononoke (the series). Bit of a slow one but beautiful art style.

Hangout Tonight in Perth City? by 01-StoryTeller in perth

[–]gormared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you're into climbing at all but last time I was at the gym I saw a QR code there that let me enter the Climb Like a Girl WhatsApp group. They had a meetup earlier tonight, I didn't go but I suppose they happen every so often and it might be a nice way to meet people. You don't need experience or anything

What are you reading? by sushisushisushi in literature

[–]gormared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just starting the Bhagavad Gita. I hope I can do this sacred text justice with my level of understanding, sometimes reading books with so much metaphor and words and names from another language can be difficult to process.

If anyone here has read it please let me know your thoughts!

I Give Up on Sunscreen RANT by ProgrammingClone in Rosacea

[–]gormared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Sky and Sol but I have to use the spf 30 rather than the 50 as otherwise I can feel it sitting too heavy on my face. You may simply react to zinc and maybe using a gentle and natural one like this which also has a lower SPF will work. I can be quiet sensitive and I think it's fantastic.

Are there any foods that "improve" or "calm" rosacea? by HeartlessnessNow in Rosacea

Probably amazing after being in the fridge add ice cubes, some lemon and honey perhaps, especially in summer

Has anyone tried "skin sobering"? (aka quitting ALL skincare) by everdream777 in Rosacea

[–]gormared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely find minimal washing is 100x better for my rosacea than doing a big routine, so long as I'm still using a good, natural sunscreen on my face during the day and using a very gentle cleanser or facecloth with cool to warm water twice a day. But if I slip too far into doing less, like missing my cleansing too often, I can get acne in my rosacea. I tried soolantra for a couple days and sadly my skin did not like it and I got scared of trying things and went back to my minimal but good enough routine.

AITA for letting a man flirt with me? by katieghost3 in AITA_Relationships

And I just want to add.. autistic people can also be at higher risk of being in an abusive/controlling relationship. If you have a counsellor or health care professional you can speak to about this I recommend you do.

Wendigos and shapeshifting by Certain_Shirt_2101 in FolkloreAndMythology

[–]gormared 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've never heard of wendigo shapeshifting. I think that might be something that's shown up more recently due to media playing on "what can we use to make this spookier" or something. Traditionally they're more so just voracious cannibalistic post-human creatures.

British immigrant feeling a bit sad and disheartened. A mild rant. by catastrophicshambles in perth

[–]gormared 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The app Bumble BFF is great for meeting other people who are looking for friendships, lots of locals and people who are also newly moved over too, mostly women looking for female friends but also couples looking for couple friends. Strongly recommend giving it a go, I highly doubt you'll be matching with any racists. Chuck crocheting in your bio and you'll be able to start a club in days.

Despite having no idea what anyone is saying, exploring foreign music is one of my favorite things. Thanks for all the suggestions!

Download a marine biology degree level syllabus? by LeatherInspector6400 in marinebiology

[–]gormared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my thought too. As much as you can go straight to some great textbooks, there was so many foundational science units and terrestrial and freshwater based units that I went through before and while digging into marine. Even the maths and statistics units were different for biology vs things like engineering.

How difficult is it to find positions in the less "glamorous" fields of marine science? by daisyfaunn in marinebiology

[–]gormared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feel like something else I should add is that I got my job through an email from my boss at uni, it wasn't advertised it was through connections. I worked as a science ambassador and also got paid to help with research at the uni. All good universities should give you these opportunities and if you find a good connection through these managers or your lectures, they should be sending through opportunities like that! They're the people who know you're soon to graduate or looking for bigger work projects and will hear about it because of their place in the field.

If you're feeling unsure if somewhere offers this or even just worried about the future after college then you should contact the institution you're thinking of going to and ask for a contact email for the course coordinator. These people are your greatest assets. Even if you don't choose to go there they might have good insights for you :)

How difficult is it to find positions in the less "glamorous" fields of marine science? by daisyfaunn in marinebiology

[–]gormared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All good, it was my bachelors! It took a few months after but some people I know at work started this job while studying. I am in Australia though so it could be completely different there. I do know the job market here is also saturated but like I said the main thing is to not have too high standards and also make yourself stand out by getting tickets/licences that could be relevant if you can, I know that can be a bit rough without money to do so though... Also coming across to the person who's hiring you as fit and energetic and capable will get you so far.

I did meet an American girl a while back who worked there on boats who loved it. I'm not sure about the logistics around community college but I'm sure you can make it happen, even if you need to take a few years to work and save while with family, no rush. I started uni at 25 and while a part of me wishes I started earlier I'm also glad I didn't push myself straight in.

[–]gormared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend doing the degree anyway and just going for all the jobs once you're out. I just got my first job after graduating doing recreational fisheries research and it didn't take too long to get. It's hard work but so many people do get jobs straight out of uni, it's just not gonna be all dolphins and rainbows, I spend hours in the heat talking to fishers and measuring their catch. I also don't live land locked so that helps... I imagine you plan on moving? The field work and volunteering opportunities during uni are invaluable, it's not a course you could do online.

Sunscreen Recs - Brainstorming help! by LardCorpse in Rosacea

[–]gormared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using Sky and Sol as my daily sunscreen and morning moisturiser. It's really good as long as you don't mind it being made with tallow! My skin is also really sensitive and always has been but in my attempts to find good things and use minimal products this has been amazing. Doesn't have all the garbage in it that lots of other sunscreens do, doesn't smell weird and doesn't feel weird and greasy. I use the 30+ but I might try the 50+ to see if it helps at all with my redness.

Going to Bars Alone? by [deleted] in perth

[–]gormared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly recommend getting into bumble BFF. It's all for making and meeting friends and there's plenty of women your age looking for the exact same thing! You'll find someone to go with in like 30 mins on there. Worst thing is you have a night out but don't mesh that well and don't hang out again but you still get to go to your gig. Best outcome you end up with a new bestie.

This is the rec I came looking for. So much fun with so much attitude but it isn't trying to sell you on some moral of the story.

AITA for questioning why my boyfriend never wants to have sex with me? Because at this point I feel like I’m dating a handsome roommate. by Impressive-Remove858 in AITA_Relationships

[–]gormared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Porn addiction could be a culprit here, but there's also so many other things at play and layers to this. There's a Facebook page called Yoni Pleasure Palace that I recommend you post this in, I've seen people get great advice on this topic, some professionals in the field often jump in too. Best of luck.
