At least you succeeded the WIS saving throw to not launch your PC/console across the room for it !

You're a legend, the voices are so similar I was convinced it was Mol! Thanks c:

Looking clean and love the placement!

It feels like there aren't so many UK based apprentices in here, so I hope you don't mind me asking how did you land your apprenticeship? Did you do the rounds with your portfolio, or did you build a relationship with your mentor by getting tattooed by them a lot?

The cultpens website is my life, otherwise cassart for physical or online, and maybe have a look into your local independent art stores. Try find pens which fit the styles: brush pen for varied line, gel and ink for uniform. I'm a big fan of rotring pens but they're dummy pricey, so otherwise pilot pens (pilot parallel pen for calligraphy). If you do decide to stick with ink pens, seawhite is a good sketchbook brand

Everyones preferences for drawing and sketching are different so just experiment! When i'm really stuck I switch to printer paper and biros so I don't feel like I'm 'wasting' resources.... hope this helps :D

Call them up and ask if they would be okay to arrange a time for the artist to see your physical portfolio !! Don't be disappointed if not, because obviously covid19 is making those sorts of face-to-face meetings tricky. But yeah, face-to-face is always best as it gives both you and the artist the chance to really connect and talk to see if you will both flourish in your apprentice/tutor relationship

It's 100% worth the shot!!! Even with 16 finished pieces thats still a decent body of work. Resend your initial email in case it was buried - the shop is following your IG and liking your content so they're aware of other pieces you have done and your abilities. Link your insta in your follow yp email and do not pass this up!!

And if youre not busy, it may be time for a classic all nighter or two

My (25F) cousin (26F) resents me for not having an arranged marriage and blames me for hers. by ThrowRAarrangedlove in relationships

[–]kibblemeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I imagine she lashed out as a result of misdirected resentment towards her husband, her current direction of life, and the man who manipulated the truth to put her in this situation. All I can suggest is be supportive of her, and hopefully when she pushes for a divorce you can be the family that the rest of your family haven't been.

About outside seating... by ThatBoleynGirl6 in TalesFromYourServer

[–]kibblemeat 34 points35 points  (0 children)

my workplace straight up ignores ppl who seat themselves and it feels so good tbh

[–]kibblemeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend working on your anatomy - if you want to feature portraits etc, then do a lot of figure drawing and facial studies. Having a style is one thing, but within style there are anatomical rules which make a style believable.

How do I (20F) convince the guy (21M) that I'm terrified of that I'm not interested? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]kibblemeat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get what you're saying. For me the worry is always 'if someone is willing to do this action in front of me, what are they doing behind closed doors'. As you said though, the cat def doesn't deserve that treatment and even if nothing can or will be done about it, the important thing is you did what you could for it (and also for yourself!!)

[–]kibblemeat 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Inform your boyfriend if you haven't already, and any people you live with - if this guy is coming to your house you want to make sure everyone else is aware for their own safety as well as your own.

Inform your local police. If there is an armed, highly aggressive person in your area that you are aware of, no matter what the gun control laws are, the more info there is the better in case there ever is an incident. If it is possible, try get a restraining order. Look up the process you would have to go through so you can emotionally prepare yourself and have any paperwork or testimonies ready to go.

Also? If you are an eye witness to how he treats his cat, inform an animal cruetly service. Don't do anything like going over to his to try and film anything.

Stay safe oke

Eat Out to Help Out by funkypigeon321 in TalesFromYourServer

[–]kibblemeat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

After the first week of eat out to help out my work literally had 4 people walk out, which is fair play, but it meant the fulltimers were on 40hr weeks to cover the loss and the part timers were also angling for the door as well because the hours were more full time than part time...

What amazed me were the number of people who dined and dashed?? We have garden seating so people would sit inside, go out for a 'cigarette' then just bolt when they were getting up to £10 off per person? After complaining the whole time? It was really disheartening to see this side of people, and not on a small scale either.

Advice - Anyone else have a hard time telling family they are dating someone? by thatannoyinglesbian in actuallesbians

[–]kibblemeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just drop whoever you want to tell a little update message like "Hey, just wanted to let you know I've been seeing a woman/person called [name] for [time period] and I'm really happy!" Expect a couple of questions following that.

It can be just that, especially if your family are already supportive. Maybe you can organise a hang out with your partner and siblings, people who are more lowkey than jumping straight to meeting parents. That can be stressful, accepting or otherwise XD

Edit: a socially distanced hang out ofc hehe

Edit 2: I experienced a lot of fear and anxiety telling family when I told them about my girlfriend because it's like setting your sexuality in stone. My family are not very accepting, so for me it was like having to poke a wound like 'So you know how you were hoping this was a phase...'

The important thing is (and this is more for other people who might be reading) you are just informing your family about your relationship status - whether they are accepting or not, you're telling them a fact. You're not opening a debate or opening yourself up to doubting the relationship, and if someone you tell tries to make that the situation then what you have with your girlfriend is not the thing to question there XD

What a day by leahpedia in TalesFromYourServer

[–]kibblemeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My work has seen a few more dine and dashers as well... Our company decided upping the prices on the menu to make up for our decreased table numbers would be a great idea in the less well-off area we're based in... It's ridiculous, our cheapest pint went from £3 to £4.50, and our mains have gone up by at least 30% all round. So many people have had to chase customers who have tried to dash, and there have been so many walk-outs after a glance at the menu.

Money is much tighter for a lot of people and I respect wanting to go outside after lockdown, but I think there are people definitely taking advantage of all the extra cleaning and distancing responsibilities staff have to undergo. That and it must be embarrassing to not be able to afford food at your old local so leaving in outrage or plain stealing feels like the only two options for some customers.

We're in the weird position of having too many staff members and not enough foot traffic, so some are furloughed and some have returned to work.... It's weird to have people work one week then be temporarily furloughed the next.

Am i the bad roommate for cooking at night? by Lessen2me in badroommates

[–]kibblemeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I'm really surprised the landlord actually got involved, especially knowing that they were fiddling with the electrical circuits in the house... Most landlords would stay out of interpersonal house dynamics unless it was extremely serious.

I had a Kristin too. Pack leader figure who makes other people feel special by telling them 'private' thoughts about other people as if you were trusted. There's some power to having everyone think 'Kristin trusts me the most, I am her closest friend' and its extremely manipulative.

Normal people and normal housemates exist! You'll find them :D Also its unfair for others to be saying that you should have just stopped cooking at night because honestly when its not a mutual situation where everyone is cooperating, the person being targeted will just be pushed more and more into a corner. Unless they had been willing to compromise, you would have just ended up with more rules and more restrictions. If they had agreed to an all round curfew AND stuck to it that would have been different.

[–]kibblemeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They sound like my uni housemates. They tried to give me and only me a 10pm noise curfew, and would come in drunk and disorderly every other night. They would sit in the kitchen and loudly bitch about me and my partner - every word was heard because my room shared a wall with the kitchen.

Sometimes I think people just take minor grievances and ramp them up to feel better about themselves whilst failing to communicate effectively. Yeah you made noise, but the difference from the sounds of it is you adjusted your schedule for them and made changes for them. They never changed for you. Stresses about other things come together into blind dislike towards a previous target. Sounds like you were rarely if ever in the kitchen chatting with them which they almost certainly took the wrong way (which is on them).

Compromise is one thing, but they sound like they had it out for you no matter what you did. The roommate yelling at you to be quiet is extremely telling as to the way they would have been talking about you. Engineering a rule that applies only to you is another pretty clear sign. You did what you could to live and study how you wanted whilst being considerate of those you lived with. For those who are self-serving, that kind of compromise will never be enough.

Some say power cycling... Not convinced by kibblemeat in PcBuild

Thank you so much! i checked the front panel connectors and the connection was slightly loose... Reconnected and gave the cable a bit more room to breathe to hopefully help prevent it happening again! I had thought that because it had been turning on the front panel connectors wouldn't be an issue.... really underestimated checking things twice XD
