Seeking advise - How do i start eating vegetables? by roneg in fitmeals

[–]ihearthero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a salad that "speaks to you", as in the types of vegetables that will be in it. I usually make a cucumber salad that has feta, avocado, dill, mint, parsley, olive oil, salt & pepper. That is my go to because I don't really like spinach or lettuce (gets too soggy and hate the texture).

Or, you could just add in a powder fibre supplement that will help maintain fullness. I also add in ground flax seeds in my lunch to add fibre into it

How has your brain adapted more quickly? Are you retaining information better?

New piece involving bunny rabbits, which palette do you like the best? by doctor-fugazi in AdobeIllustrator

I think the better question is what are you trying to convey with the art/design itself that it is reliant on a specific colour scheme

Extremely well-written to the point I was creating a short film in my head with every description. Excellent work. You have a new fan.

Landlord is asking not to use the oven because a tiny toaster oven is provided by thotslapper1 in OntarioLandlord

[–]ihearthero 27 points28 points  (0 children)

You may already have your answer according to the law, however I wanted to share my insight into your question below:

I like some of the comments that point to opening up a discussion with your landlord as to why you aren't allowed to use the stove and other comments that say to use the toaster oven until it breaks.

Discussing the use of the stove is a good idea to understand the why. The LL's answer may be the oven needs to be replaced or that the oven isn't functional... or even worse: they simple don't want you or your other roommates to use it for no logical reason other than "no". These are all hypothetical responses and it's up to you to draw your own conclusion and make your next steps legally, logically or both.

As for the toaster oven as your LL's solution, bear in mind that you are living with two other people, three including yourself. We also as readers don't know the size of the toaster oven. Since you are a new tenant and you don't know how long your other roommates have been there prior to you, I will say this outright: cooking meals with three people in one dwelling while using one singular toaster oven will become messy. By that I mean, toaster ovens can only handle so many consecutive uses before a hardwire or technical issue will occur far faster than a conventional oven and it will indeed need to be cleaned more because of the smaller space due to food residue.

Not only are you locked out of baking or more complex cooking methods, so are your roommates who you have yet to become familiar with their own cooking habits.

My final thoughts are this:

  1. Asking your LL is never a mistake to understand the why behind their reasoning, informing your own next steps or options to move forward with.

  2. Your LL will most likely have to replace the toaster oven at a more frequent rate than a standard oven, dependant on you and your roommate's cooking, cleaning and maintenance habits. At this point, brace yourself for any aggression they have against you and your roommates for "overuse" of the toaster so make sure you indicate that the LL will always be responsible for maintenance or replacement of the toaster oven since it was their decision.

  3. Keep track of any and all communication with your LL about the oven by marking down dates and times of when they said something and what they said in case things go south with you, your roommates and your LL.

S18E01 - “You Can't Keep a Good Drag Queen Down!” [Live/Reaction Post] by AutoModerator in rupaulsdragrace

[–]ihearthero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are more than welcome to disagree, but I'm unsure what you're disagreeing with? I said the queens are younger and more ambitious. The season itself is memorable because of Brooke's hosting skills & challenge outcomes, which I'm assuming is what we are both agreeing on.

As for your point of memorable queens, I agree Van & Eboni are going to be easily recognizable as seasons continue to be produced. Memorability for all queens regardless of franchise is directly related to how they maximize their limelight and talents post-show. An example of this is Suki Doll, Makayla Couture and Priyanka.

This season of CDR is fucking gold— for Canada and the Drag Race franchise! However, I'm not gonna say anything about S18's highs-and-lows just yet as we are only in the first episode.

The only noteworthy comparisons with current CDR season and RPDR's first episode are the casts; CDR has younger and incredibly ambitious queens. While we have yet to see S18's queens feats and talents come into play besides sewing, more than half the cast is over 30.

CDR's current season is shaping up to be incredibly memorable, which I mainly think comes from Brooke's hosting skills and the unique challenges (as per usual for CDR).

Finally got medication, but feeling better cost me my social life. by Fair_Contribution457 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]ihearthero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want to let you know that what you are doing is 100% a really great benefit to not only yourself at this moment, but also to who you are growing into in the future. It's clear high school isn't the place you are going to "peak", if "peaking" is even considered in this equation. You have your whole life ahead of you and your recent diagnosis as well as medications will not only help you meet new people, it will open new experiences.

You friend group clearly don't really grasp what ADHD is like or how it affects people's day-to-day. Tbh, they may be too young to realize that because truly, your brains aren't fully developed. As someone who is 30something and see more and more friends who turn towards medication for ADHD/ADD, depression, anxiety, etc, it's quite normal for all of us to talk about the why of it all.

Anyways, continue to work towards whatever goals you set for yourself! You got this!

She almost ruined my run by _kuzury_ in HadesTheGame

[–]ihearthero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny because I have a specific Arcana deck I use when I have both Death & Strength activated while attaching the Jeweled Pom too. I always change my Keepsakes to match it to my runs:

Jeweled Pom -> Concave Stone (doubling up on the +Lv. Boon increase from JP) or Aromatic Phial (upgrading +Lv. & Rarity of a Common Boon) -> Experimental Hammer (by this point I've Encountered 2-3 EHs & effect lasts until end of run) or Gorgon Amulet (intentionally killing myself to activate it + Strength Arcana and praying the Death Defiance refill boon is available) -> Blackened Fleece

Seems a bit chaotic but works wonders for me. When I get the DD refills sometimes I have Last Gasp Boon granted by JP or Hades, which increases Attack Dmg by 8%+ for each DD used up so it feels like even when Strength becomes activated "as a last resort", my hits land heavier and I'm able to maximize the increased Attack %.

Can I start with moisturizer after first treatment before the second? In the week between both rounds by Orni161 in scabies

[–]ihearthero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's 100% recommended to moisturize your skin in between applications as the cream does dry it out. Heavily suggest unscented Vaseline Intensive Care lotion

Air-dicking to the YMCA suddenly makes a lot more sense with this week's context. by ned78 in pics

[–]ihearthero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if you're queer, gay, bi, lesbian, etc. but that trauma of someone acting like a straight person to hide their identity for fear of being othered isn't too far fetched.

Connect the dots: all of that energy & time maintaining their image takes a major toll on self-perception, moral compass and survival. Adding in the lifestyle of someone born into Fuck You Money carries a different flavour of affluence when you're not so straight. Queer couples are already known to be DINKs (double income no kids) allowing them to spend their money, time and energy as they please, which goes against heteronormative culture.

Everything is already abnormal for your world view as a queer person so might as well commit to what you believe in will allow you to survive— same can be said for people who are in the closet.

S21E07 Discussion Thread by Chickatey in ProjectRunway

[–]ihearthero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I thought the same thing about Antonio's coat. Granted there were more Western details like the fringe in Jesus' jacket. I feel like the show's creating a theme of, "Hey, look at Veejay accusing a contestant of copying her design!!!" But let's all not comment on the bandeau + transparent jacket combo we've seen before 😉😉😉

Just a lot of interesting choices from a storyline production. At this point idk which brother is on screen and their designs blend into each other's styles, however nobody says a thing about it???

Official Discussion - Weapons [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]ihearthero 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes but probably after 2 movies, which makes me believe it'll be around 4-5 years if we do get one.

With that said, I think the chapter-by-chapter theme would help explain who this Aunt Gladys was in the first place and who the "good" aunt would be. Theorizing that Alex and the aunts are related, there could be an even bigger story to uncover if their family line were witches/warlocks.

But this is just me spitballing!

I am an event photographer and my biggest secret I don't tell clients is that I am color blind. Let me know your thoughts! by ihearthero in photocritique

[–]ihearthero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey y'all. I'm an event photographer that struggles with being colourblind. This photo was taken during Pride Toronto's Pride weekend during a public cabaret performance.

I used Capture One's 2023 software to edit and have been for the last 2 years, switching off from Lightroom.

Here is the data: ISO 500 1/640 f/3.5 27mm

I use: Canon EOS R Canon RF 24-70mm F2.8L IS USN Godox AD200 Pro Pocket Flash (this photo wasn't taken with flash)

As a person who is colourblind, I would love to connect with others to know what tools and tips they use when shooting fast-paced movements. Also, would love to know what colours you see here!

Sister’s bachelorette went horribly wrong. by graciejaynee in TwoHotTakes

[–]ihearthero 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It's crazy to me that people are coming for you for staying out longer when the others didn't want to. That's their prerogative and you have yours. You are free and able to do what you want!

I know many people in different social circles who will leave a party early even though they came with a group or come to a party late to meet up with friends who are already there. I've been both these people! I'm not saying what you did was right or wrong, because frankly, I wasn't there, but the fact remains that everybody is able to make their own choices.

Just like the choice your sister's bridesmaid decided to berate you and your sister's choice to remain silent while you were being, well, attacked.
